Boys Fingers Amputated.

Charles, the 3-year-old son of Mr..
and Mrs. William Taylor. of Lafay
etto street. had the four fingers and
thumb of his left hand so badly lacer-
ated recently that amputation was
necessary. The little fellow found
some cartridges in a coat pocket in the
house and threw them in the stove.
An explosion occurred and resulted
in the laceration of his hand. The eX-
plosion and chld's screams attracted
the attention of his mother, who was
in another part of the house. and she
quickly ran to his assistance. Or. j.
j. Carroll was called and found it
necessary to amputate the fingers and
thumb. The boy is recovering from
the shock, but his injury is very
painful one.

Plat and Low.

At the beginning Of the present mu-
nicipal campaign in New York fears
were expressed that the nomination Of
the Hon. Seth Low for Mayor would not
be received with enthusiasm by mem
beers of the Plat machine. But at that
time assurances were given that the
whole force OF the Republican organi-
cation would be found in line for honest
government. even under a fusion leader
Doubts as TO the loyalty of the ma
chine element again are expressed in
some quarters. and appear To be giving
concern to the reforners. It was ex-
pected that although support Of Mr..
Low would give his old enemies. the
Republican machinists. a disagreeabIe
sensation. they would be ordered by
Mr.. Platt 10 stand it. and go TO work
It seems TO have happened. however,
that for some reason they did not do
SO very vigorously up to the eve Of reg
istra ton. The Shepard and Devery
combination had the city flooded with
campaign literature, while there was a
dearth Of printed matter representing
the other side. and this was particu-
larry true of districts more or less under
the influence Of Republican oficehoId-
ers.
Apathy on the part Of some Of Mr..
Lows nominal supporters is alleged to
have produced uncomfortable results.
In the district in which Mr.. Bidweu.
Collector Of the Port. and Mr.. Lemuel
Eli Quigg. both reside, the registration
fell off more than one thousand. com
pared with 1900. Both Of the politicians
named were against Low in 1897, when
the machine made its deal with Tam
many and elected Van WICK by
backing General Tracy. 1t is said
that Senator Platt has called the
doubtful men to his audience room and
warned them that henceforth there
must be no question about their loyalty
or activity. Perhaps he has. He is
capable Of such action, supposing it to
be suited TO his purposes.
The queerest part Of the story is that
it casts a shade upon the political good
faith Of Collector BidweH. That official
badly wants to keep his place, and there
are charges against him Seth Low is
President ROOsevelt's close friend.

Our Relations with China.

The return to the Capital Of MI Rock
hill, lately American Special Commits
sioner to China. naturally revives in
terest in our relations, present and fu-
ture. with the Celestial Kingdom. As
MI RockhiH still is a Government Off
ciaI. he is guarded in what he has To
say, but there are some things which
do not require reserve. and Of these he
is quoted as speaking freely.
For example, he thinks that Ameri-
can prestige in China has been in
creased by the moderate" policy pur-
sued by our State Department through
out the international occupation. We
DO not exactly understand how that
moderation" operated to give US pres
tise, unless, TO be sure. the Chinese APP
plauded Us for helping the Russian
game in Manchuria by joining with
Russia in premature retreat from Pc
king. Certainly that movement did not
add to American prestige among the
alien Powers whose concert was broken
UP by it. with embarrassing results
But we need not criticise Mr.. Rock
nil in such matters, in view Of his pO-
sition- lie was not responsible for the
cut and scuttle. and ne has done ex-
Cellent work for his country in connec-
ton with the negotiation Of the peace
settlement in which he took an able
and honorable part. Through his ef-
forts the peace convention contains pro-
visions Of Importance and great value
, TO our own and other foreign trade. In
cluded among these are arrangements
for the deepening Of the water ap-
proaches to Shanghai and Tientsin. the
change in the Chinese customs tariff
from ad valorem to specific duties. and
the free entry Of cereals. It is under
stood, also, that il was upon Mr.. Rock
| hills initiative that the Council Of Min
listers agreed TO the plan of permitting
China TO issue a long bond at a low rate
Of interest to cover the International in
| demnity.
Mr. ROckhiH says, as reported, that
"aII the Chinese officials have given as
surances Of their deep gratitude 70 this
Government" 1t would be pleasant if
! we could know that they would remain
| in that thankful state Of mind. but. as
nobody knows better than does our dis
| tinguished and successful Special Com
missioner, For ways that are dark,
and tricks that are vain. the heather
Chinee is peculiar" The grateful Off
Gals are now said TO be engaged in an
effort 10 have WI TIng-fang recalled
because Of his personal popularity in
America-which does not look like a
particularly friendly move.
Then we must remember that the
Chinese exclusion question is again be
ing agitated, and that it viii constitute
a source Of active and perhaps acri-
mOnioUs debate at the next session Of
Congress. Should this country decide
to renew the Exclusion Act and refuse
entry into tn United States to Chinese
subjects, after the expiration Of the
present law, it may be doubted if the
gratitude" of all those Chinese officials
Will be found of a lasting character.
Our Oriental difficulties, after all, may
not have disappeared with the signing
Of the Picking Peace Convention.
