General C0x Quelled 1Iutiny.
General : bx was good discipline
Slan. but he never clustered and was
never severe. On one occasion several
officers called at. his headquarters and
stated to him that they would nc,
promise to march their men up the mar.
row river valley. He sent them to their
quarters and said nothing of their i'm.
pertinence until after the war.
While III camp at Gauley bridge his
quarterlnaster general shot private
IN the Second Kentucky. Tho men OF
the regiment escaped the control of the
officers and made rush to kill the
Qnartermaster, who had been taken to
Cox's headquarters. Cox saw the men.
coming. but instead OF ordering the
guards to fire on them he ran toward
them alone, bareheaded and unarmed.
He reached a gap in a stone wall ahead
OF the 500 or GOO furious armed men
and stopped them. He explained that
they might kill him, but they could not
pass.
Strengthening to his full height, he
said, "Your general, unarmed, as you
see, orders you to remember that you
are soldiers and obey" Much to the
surprise Of the score of anxious officers
watching the parley. the men returned
to their camp. Cox sent for a company
from another regiment, which guarded
the prisoner to the lower camp. No
charge of mutiny ever appeared against
that regiment, which afterward, under
Nelson and Palmer, made a splendid
reputation fer drill, discipline aud hard
lighting. Chicago Inter Ocean.

Box-Plaited Shirt Waist 4.

A shirt-waist with some fullness
in 1t Is pretty sure to prove most be-
coming to slender, growing girls.
The box-plaited effects are again very
fashionable, and they are trim and
stylish for children. The Chiffon
waist for little girls of six, eight and
ten Is one f the newest and pretti-
est of this seasons designs. There
are three inch-and-a-half plaits in
both front and back, which are
drawn together at the waist line.
The fashionable bishop sleeves are
finished with bands ending in points
instead Of the conventional cuff. A
belt to match the waist Is worn.
Dimity with pink circles is the
material used. This would be an
excellent model for linen, pongee
chsmbray and gingham.-Ledge1

CHINA MADE A MISTAKE.
Has Agreed to Pay More Than the
Powers Demanded.


Washington, June 2S.A curious dis
crcpnncy concerning the amount of the
Chinese indemniticS has developed BY
which il appears that China has agreed
to pay about 35,0O0,000 taels, or $24,-
100000, more than the united demands
of all the powers. Just how this oc-
CURED is not clear to officials, but il
appears 10 have been an error of calcu-
lation ut Picking in the first place by
those making up the indemnities and
later 10y the Chinese in their hasty ac-
c"ptance of the total.
As finally made up this total was
i10O0O.o0 taels. hui the present cal
cnation. after taking in all Of the de-
mandS that are known, makes the total
only Il5.Wn, OnU tacls. In the mean
time China has agreed to pay the lar
ger amount, so that the question now
arises, Whnt will become of the excess
Of 3I.OOU,0W taclsl
AqothCr question which has arisen
in this connection is as to the amount
of bonds which shall be issued To Ia
pan, as that country has drawn atten-
ton to the fact that its share of in
demnity cannot he negotiated on MS fa-
Norablc terms as some OF the other
powers can make. 1t Is understood
that the matter has been considered of
Sufficient Importance To bring to the at
tcntion of the president, with view to
learning the general attitude of this
government on tho matter.
