HAS MANY TROUBLES.
The Chinese Court Asking for Mii- lions of Tales for Travel
 ing Expenses.
BAD CONDUCT OF LEGATION GUARDS.
Groups of Soldiers Roam About Pe- kin, Often Intoxicated, and Siai- treating the Natives-Americans Reported to Have Looted n Silver smiths shop.

Peltin, Oct. s.-The officials here have not been informed as to wheth- CT the court has started for hai-Feng- Flu, as announced in a dispatch from Shanghai Sunday. Previous adyiees lead to the belief that the court did start. The temporary palaces at Kai- Feng-Fu and Pao-TingFu are being prepared like permanent dwellings. although they will be occupied only for few days.
 Millions for Travelling Expenses.
 The acquisitions for the travelling expenses already amount to 13,000,00C taels, in spite of the edict enjoining economy in this respect. The scale of preparations may be judged from single item-3O, ,000, ,00o taels will be ex pended on tableware. Several local officials along the route have resigned because they are unable to meet the expenses of entertaining the court The latter's journey now is particu. 1arly unfortunate, because the regions traversed have been impoverished by the summer famine.
 Drunken Foreign Soldiers.
 The Chinese officials are consider. ing the desirability of protesting to the foreign ministers against the con. duct of the legation guards. The soldiers continue to treat the Chinese like a conquered people. Groups of soldiers roam about the city, wear ing their sidearms, often intoxicated maltreating the natives and commit. ting petty robberies.
 A party of Americans recently loot ed siIversmith's store, securing several hundred taeIs' worth of property. The whole garrison was confined to barracks until the guilty men were detected.
 Correspondence has been exchanged between the Chinese officials and the ministers regarding the complaints made by Chinamen that they have been compelled, against their will, to take part in the work of building the new legations.
 There Must be Some Modus Vivendi.
 It is becoming evident that some modus viyendi must be established, or the conditions here will become in- tolerable. Notwithstanding the ministers policy of moderation in erecting defenses, the legation quar- ter presents the appearance of for. tified city. The British defenses, op- posite the imperial city, are particu- larly formidable; the Italian de- lenses, adjoining the British, have embrasures for cannon; a deep moat protects the German section, and across the city wall the Germans have erected a stone fort for artillery.

Washington, Oct. s.-The Schley court of inquiry entered upon the third straight week of the investiga- ton of Admiral Schley's conduct in the Spanish war. The crowd iii at tendance was as large as at any prev ious time, indicating that the interest ln the case is unabated. It had been expected that the navy department would be able to complete it's presen- tation of the case by the close of last week, but when the court opened Capt. Lemlys list of witnesses still contained almost a dozen names Prominent among these is Capt. Chad. wick, who was Admiral Simpsons s chief of staff, and who was in imme- diate command of the flagship, New York, during the Santiago campaign.
 The new witnesses who were pres ent when the court convened, with the expectation of being called to the stand, were Capt. w. NJ. Folger, who commanded the cruiser New Orleans during the bombardment of the Cris- tohal Colon. on May 31, in which that vessel participated, and Lieut.. NJ. L. Bristol, who, as an ensign, was the watch officer on the battleship Texas during the Santiago campaign. Lieu
 tenant-Commander Dyson also was present with the understanding that he probably would be recalled for the purpose of continuing his testi- mony concerning the coal supply of the flying squadron when it first ar rived off Santiago, and it's capacity under varying conditions of speed.

CHARCOAL BURNERS.

Charcoal burning in the United
States, so far as the product concerns
the cities. gives promise OF becoming a
lost art. Gas and gasoline have almost
displaced it as heat-producing sub
stance. With the thinning of the for
ests, too, the source of supply is cut

paratively few follow the lonely life.
Charcoal in its perfect state is a
baked, not a burnt wood. Here is the
distinction that keeps the charcoal
burner awake sometimes from iS to 60
hours at a stretch especially If he be
alone. For the baking of charcoal tho
wood Is piled in circle about central
pit, leaving interstices through which
the heat from the fire burning in the
center may circulate to the outer edge
OF the pile. Turf is piled over all until
the pile resembles a volcano. IL is the
object to keep the wood covered u1til
it cannot break into blaze. High
winds are troublesome. The sign of
| trouble in kiln is a thin blue smoke
that points to fire in the wood This
/ fire is put out by smothering from
the outside. Only experience teaches
when the charcoal is sufficiently baked
When this period is reached 1t has lost
about three-fourths of its weight. An
old observation is to the effect that
ten horses will draw the wood and
three horses will draw the charcoal
away The slower the wood has baked
the more substance and weight will be
in the Goals. When the pyre has burn
ed sufficiently the fire is put out by
drenching the heap with water. Even
after hundreds of gallons have been
poured through the heap. it may take
three days for il to cool sufficiently for
the charcoal to be removed. A kiln will
produce zoo to 250 bushels OF the Goals.
The charcoal burner leads gypsy
life. His cabin is near by the kilns,
and in IL is the picturesque disorder
that is natural to man in the woods.
His kitchen utensils are most in evil
dence. His bed is wholly secondary.

nearby town. In the woods sobriety is
everything to his craft. He is a won
der to the visitors. as he plunges into
thick smoke and neat. and works in
the choking fumes with the fortitude
OF salamander. When the kiln is
working best the smoke and fumes arc
worst, and to keep the kilns so necessi-
tates the constant attention OF the
burner. These fumes are considered
detrimental to health under ordinary
circumstances. but the compensatin2
life in the woods seems to make the
charcoal burner a hardy specimen OF
his race.-Utica Globe.
