The effect of the British answer can
not be to restore the life of the Hay
Pauncefote treaty, so far as now APP
pears. That document had a distinct
limitation within which it could be
ratified, and no doubt seems to exist
among officials that the period expired
when the senate adjourned. The am.
swer is chiefly important, therefore, as
making clear the attitude of the Brit
ish government alongside the attitude
of the American government. With
the two positions thus clearly defined
it remains to be seen whether the
United States government will carry
on such further negotiations as may
reconcile differences and bring about

Some of these women have children and the citizens are making efforts to raise money by subscription to send them out on the last steamers.

WoRKMEN'S HOTEL.
Talk of Building One in Chicago After
 the New York Style.

Chicago, October 1O.-J. W. Cos sard and A. Montgomery Ward, both we'll known students of practical sociolos1cal problems, may back movement to give to Chicago hotel for workingnlen similar to the Mills hotel in New York. The two men have not discussed the matter personally, but the subject was preached to Mr. Gossard by John H. Rogue, representing MT. Ward.
 ''I have had such hotel in mind for some time" said MT. Gossard, land would like to go in with some capitalist and erect one, or I would head a stock company for the pur- pose. Mir. Ward has found me in the right mood for joining him if a hotel can be erected according to my ideas, gained from personal experience among the people whom such an in stitution would benefit.
 "In the first place. it should be situated in the downtown district, within the loop if possible. It should be at least 12 stories high and of the most modern freproof construction, and living could be had on both the American and European plans. On the American plan the highest price would be one dollar per day and on the European plan the lodging would be at the rate of about 20 cents per night. Every modern sanitary con venience would enter into the con struction; there would be a bath in T.. rooms and shower baths in the rest. The meals would be moderate in price and there would be two res taurants, one serving vegetable diet only, the other mixed diet.
 'sThere should be free employ ment agency, free dispensary for the sick, and bath treatm rooms for those who are obliged to get the red flicker out of their systems before they can brace up. The vege- tartan diet will be a part of the treatment. There will be provisions for laundry work, which will be done at merely nominal rate. There should be bowling alleys and billiard tables, but no bar.
 An important adjunct to the hotel would be the assembly-room, or au- ditorium. Here should be carried on the Higher Practical Education so- ciety meetings and the work that the society has been doing at the Jones school all summer. The hotel should be under the auspices of the society. and be used to carry out it's plan of work among those who need it's help. I should give my personal attention to the management of the hotel and direct also the work of the Higher Practical Education society"

Rights of Chinese Parents.

The law and custom of China still gives the parents supreme control over their children. As far as it is possible for an outsider to get to know this people, whose ways are dark,'' it does appear that this pow
 CT of life and death is not often ex- ercsed unless in the case of infants. Now and again, however. instances occur which prove that this barbar- ous right is still claimed and exer- cised A man in the Nam Hoi dis trict has just put his son to death in a most cruel fashion, and the law takes no cognizance of the murder, for surely it cannot be called by any other name. The boy had been often reproved for aSsociating with gam blers and robbers, and his record was a bad one This much may be said in extennuation of the fathers dia- bolical act For long time the fla ther was unable to lay hands on his son. This he succeeded in doing by offering a reward to anyone who could bring him home. During the day of his return the father gave no evidence of his wicked design. This put the lad off his guard. But when night came the father threw off his mask. seized his son, bound him hand and foot. and then proceeded leisure ly to strangle him. China Mail.

GEN WOODS REPORT.
The Work of Driving Out the Yellow
 Fever is Explained.

Washington, Oct 10.-The war de- partment has made public the annual report of Major General Leonard Wood, commanding the department of Cuba, for the last fiscal year. A pre- ceding report treated of the civil ad- immigration of the island. This report deals with military affairs entirely. General Wood says the general con- duct of the American troops in Cuba continues to be excellent, and, as here tofore, complaints against them from civil authorities and individuals are extremely rare. The total number of deaths of officers and enlisted men during the year was 67, a percentage of less than 1.25. Yellow fever has now been almost driven from the iS- land owing to the energetic war upo1. moSquitos and the sanitary precautions adopted. However, during the past summer five officers of General Wood $ staff were taken i'll with yellow feye" and three of them died. Among the headquarters employees there were AS victims to yellow fever with II deaths
 General Wood deyotes a good part of his report to a statement of the re- suits attending the tests of artillery Notifications left by the Spanish, and summariziuy these he says:
 ''Tle behavior of the guns and car riagas was rarher better than as ex- pecte1 by the artillery officers
 The old canteen issue is revived in this report through sub-report fur nished by Inspector General Burton. He says that the exchange is great comfort to the soldier in Cuba, who IS deprived of many of the comforts known to him at home. The officers generally complain that the elimina, ton of beer from the exchange has worked a hardship on the soldier and has been det' mental to good order and military discipline.
 General Burton has some interesting recommendations to submit, based upon the experience of the American soldier in Cuba For instance, he says that the cavalry pistol is too small in calibre; it has no stopping power, though it carries unnecessarily far The general recommendation of the service is that the calibres shoulf be increased above 45 rather than de creased and given a range of = or 100 yards for effective work. Except for it's shock action, the pistol IS or little service. The saber should be enameled with bicycle enamel, as should all metal parts of the equip ment to resist the rust which rapidly destroys steel and iron in Cuba. Tn' cavalry boot is summed by all soldiers and it is recommended that it be abaIi doned. The khaki leggins are unsatis- factory; they bunch at the ankle, are not durable and must be laced too tight. If a 1eggin is to be worn at all it should be an English leather leggip The campaign hat has no proper place in tn earny in tropical clin ates. Al in the army in tropical climates. At material and lighter Finally, Colonel Burton recommends complete revl. sion of the cavalry drill regulations, which are severely criticised
