MINISTER'S DISCOURAGED.
Prospects for Conclusion of the Ne
gOtiatiOns Mt Picking Are
Growing Darker

Pekipg, July 1.-THE ministers of
the powers now. freely admit that the
prospect of conclusion of negotia-
tions is growing darker. The situa-
ton is most serious, as the deadlock
has continued for more than month.
The meeting arranged for Tuesday
was postponed because it was appar-
ent that the proceedings would be
fruitless. 1t was at the meeting of
July IL that the ministers reached
some thing in the nature of an agree
ment as to the indemnity But almost
imme tely radical difference devel-
oped between Great Britain and Rus
STA as to the details of the pan Of
payment. All the ministers were in
accord with the scheme early in June,
subject to the approval of their gov
ernments; but Great Britain disap-
proved the agreement on the ground
that it did not adequately protect her
commercial interests. The neutral
ministers assert that either Great
Britain or Russia must make material
conce lions before conclusion of the
agreement is possible. Meanwhile the
committees of the ministers are work.
ing upon comparatively unimportant
details. such as improvements in navi-
cation, but If the financial question
was settled the negotiations could be
closed in day Ii Hung Chang keeps
sending strenuous requests to the min
listers of the powers to present a COM
plete plan. He represents that China
is willing to accept any reasonable
terms and is chiefly anxious to know
definitely what the powers require, so
that she may begin compliance with
the terms. The ministers regard news
paper accusations, of fprocras tination
on their part as exceedingly unjust.
The governments, and not the minis
tiers, are responsible, the ministers
say, for the deadlock.

ROBBERS WERE BOLD
Wreck a Bank Vault in Town of
Alexandria, O.

rH = .aa Q
Columbus, o., July IA gang of
six or seven robbers wrecked the
Ressler and Ashbrooke bank at Alex
andria, in Licking county, about one
O'Clock Tuesday morning. The strong
box resisted Their efforts, and they
overlooked package of 81 800 in the
outer vault, which they blew almost
TO pieces.
Tools were stolen from the Toledo
& Ohio Central railroad with which
the front door of the bank was
opened. after which four charges of
dynamite was exploded to open the
vault. The noise aroused Cashier C.
B. Buxton and others who reside
near the bank, and the @shastened to
the scene. Although the citizens re-
sponded promptly, the robbers re-
manned in the bank for an hour long
er, during which time they made re-
peated attempts to force the strong
box, meanwhile keeping up an ex-
change of shots with the villagers.
Finally the bandits fed in two rigs
which had been previously stolen.
They drove furiously away TO the
north. Sheriff Anderson and a posse
are now in pursuit. 1'.'."s t..i-.
There was only about $500 in the
strong box, the package of s., 800 hav-
ing been received too late to be
placed therein Monday evening. This
money was found among the debris
by the cashier Tuesday. The loss is
covered by insurance. ID g. l,'~

MAKES THOUSANDS IDLE.
Strike of the Stationary Firemen Ties
Up Mines In Wyoming Valley.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, July IL. - The
strike order of President Mullahy, of
the Stationary Firemen's association
of Pennsylvania, was promptly obeyed
at seven o'clock Tuesday morning
when 900 members of the organiza-
ton in this, section of the state re-
fused to go to work. Most of the
strikers are employed as fremen at
the coal mines and their failure to re-
port for duty caused nearly all the

region to suspend operations, throw

900 men and boys. Some of the indi-
vidual operators conceded the de-
mands of their employees on condition
that the short-hour day was not to
hold if the men employed by the big
companies did not get the same con-
cessions. The big coal companies,
however, refused to make any conces-
sions. The officials claimed that the
demands of the fremen were unreal
sonable; that they had received a ten
per cent. increase when the wages of
the miners were raised last fall, and
that the demands now made upon the
companies are equal to a 20 per cent.

initiate me. I wish to see how you do il

Poor Mr.. b fell straightway into

heartily as any schoolgirl, "But, mind

PREPARING CAVlARE.
Process by Which the Toothsome
Edible Is Made Marketable.

By far the most valuable byproduct
obtained from the sturgeon is the roe,
from which the valuable commercial
product called caviare is prepared. For
this only the hard roe Of the Cow" fish
is supposed to be used. The manner OF
preparation is as follows:
After the eggs have been removed from
the fish they are placed in large chunks
upon a stand the top Of which is formed
of small mcshed screen. On the under
side is arranged a zinc lined trough,
about 1S inches deep, feet wide and a
feet long. The operator gently rubs the
mass of eggs back and forth over the
screen. The mesh is just large enough
to let the eggs drop through, and as they
are separated from the membrane by the
rubbing they fall through into the trough
and are thence drawn off into tubs by
means of q sliding door at the end Of the
trough.
After all the roe has been separated
the tub is removed and certain proper
ton Of the best Luneberg Germany salt
added to the roe, after which the opera
tor carefully stirs and mixes the mass
with his hands. The most delicate part
of the whole operation is in the manner
of mixing. No direct rule can be given
for doing this portion of the work, as the
condition of the roe regulates the time
consumed and the manner Of handling.
1t requires practical experience to be-
come proficient.
After adding the salt the mass of eggs
first dries up. but in 10 or 10 minutes the
strength of the salt draws from the eggs
their watery constituents and a copious
brine is formed, which can be poured OF
when the tub becomes too full. The salt
ed eggs are poured into very finely mesh
cd sieves, which hold about ten pounds
each. In the caviare house are usually
arranged long, sloping boards. with mar
row strips nailed on each side. On these
the sieves are placed and are left there
from 8 to 20 hours in order to thoroughly
drain.
The eggs have now become caviare
of commerce and are transferred to small
casks Of either oak or pine, which have
been steamed in order to prevent any
possible leakage; the casks are covered
and allowed to stand until the gas es-
canes and the eggs settle. The vacant
space caused by the settling is then filled,
and the cask headed up and put in q cool
place until ready for shipment. The
casks cost about 81 each and hold about
1876 pounds net. 1t requires about II
quarts of salt to prepare q keg Of caViare.

The reason so few of US do notattempt
great things for God is simply because
we do not trust him enough.
We make the past by our use of the
present, we determine what we will
he in future by our use of the present.
If we rely OH Jesus, it would be dis
loyalty not to strive to do whatever he
would like to have us do.
If the poor people did but know how
little some milllOnaires enjoy thei'
wealth, there would be less euoy in
the world.
Face to face, each solitary soul meets
its Master aud makes TO him its vows.
No man can stand between, no mau
iuterprets.
The strength of resolve, which after.
wards shapes life and mikes itsel
with action, is the fruit of those sacred
solitary moments when we meet God
alone.
knowledge about the Bible il pool
and imperfect if does not bear fruit in
a life of loving, joyful service of man
and of the Son of man.
One principal reason why men are
often useless is that they divide and
shift their attention among q
multiplicity of objects and pursuits.
Since the generality of persons ACT
from impulse much more than from
principle, men are neither so good MOI
so bad as we are apt to think them.
The Now is the connecting link be.
tween the two eternities of the past
and the future. 1t is at our command
and naught else is.
The amount of strength we my re-
ceive form Christ is limited only by
our Willingness. His ability is greater
than our desires.
He is to he pitied whose house is in
some valley of grief between the hills
with the longest night and the short
est day. Home should be the centel
of joy equatorial and tropical.
