TROUBLE FEARED In CHINA
Reported Revival of the Boxer Re
belIiOn at Merchandising.

An Outbreak Said to Be Imminent in
MOngOlia-The CcIcstiei Insurgents
Encouraged by Reports OF DiSa-
sreement Between the Powers
PEKIN. April ct is feared here
that the Chinese problem viii not be
settled without further serious out
breaks. involving losses of life among
the foreigners in the Empire From
time to time rJ1nors of a more or less
alarming character have beeen received
from different localities and it is known
that there have been minor outbreaks
in some of the provinces
The feeling Of concern has been aug
mented by the receipt Of letter from
Monsigneur Vannertselaer, who is sta
toned at Siwantze, on the Monaghan
border line. In his letter to Archbishop
Favier. he states that there has been
a revival of Boxerism at Kweihuan-
chang. Northern Shensi. He fails to
make any statement concerning the ma
ture of the outbreak or whether there
has been a loss of life or property.
MonsigneUr Vannertselaer expresses
the opinion, however, that rebellion is
imminent in Mongolia and he fears that
there will be a serious outbreak soon
unless measures are taken to prevent it.
The opinion is general here that the
delay IN settling the indemnity and
punishments questions is having a bad
effect 1t is believed that the Chinese
in outlying districts have been led to
believe that there is serious disagree
ment among the Powers over the prob
lens involved and that when the quar-
rel becomes acute they may profit by
it If they take immediate action.
Further tidings from Merchandising
are awaited here with anxiety on the
part OF many Of the foreigners.
BERLIN, April "a despatch to the
''LokalanZeiger' from Pekin states that
the Chinese plenipotentiaries, in re-
ply TO the ministers, dated yesterday,
agree TO carry out the demands Of the
Powers for the punishmnt of additional
guilty officials, in accordance with the
supplementary list furnished by the
ministers

THE GAINSBOROUGH PORTRAIT.
Locikett AGnew Doubts the Story OF
Its Recovery.

LONDON. April 6.-In an interview to
day regarding the recovery of Gainsbor-
ough's portrait of the Duchess Of Devon
shire in the United States. LOCkett Ag-
new, q cousin Of MorIand Agnew, who is
said to have secured the picture, said that
the newspapers had already recovered
this famous printing no less than eleven
times and he as not going TO believe the
story until it was thoroughly authenticat-
ed His cousin. he knew. had been in
Chicago and had sent a cablegram stating
that he had bought a GainsborOugh.
Mr.. Agrew added: y should be very
glad to see the picture back, if only 70
contradict the story that We ourselves de-
strOyed it. We have been following its
traces for q decade and 1 have always
been hopeful OF success Sir George Lew
is has always said that he could get 1t
for u.s. but my father was deceived five
or six times. and since his death I have
been fooled three or four times Inspector
Forest. of Scotland Yard, has been as
near to Us in the matter as anyone, put
if the picture has been found it is singu-
lar that he did not mention 1t, as he was
in Bond Street last week"
Mr. Agnew was evidently anxious to dis
credit the news, although he was aware
that it might be true He said he desired
to explain that the firm of William Ag-
new & Sons had not offered reward of
5000 for the recovery Of the portrait
They had offered e1,000 last year fer its
restoration, but had stipulated that 1t
must come through legal channels.
Mr.. Agnew said he did not believe the
story that the object Of the theft OF the
picture was to obtain money for the re-
lease of a prisoner He thought that it
might have been cut out of the canvas by
some person as 4 freak. Mr.. Agnew con-
cIuded by saying:
You know that in those days the Bond
Street galleries were very different from
what they are today. Then they were
simply converted news and it was very
easy to carry off a picture

AN OPINION.

Walter Scott, who knew as much
about lawyers as Moliere did about the
doctors of his day, gives many a sly
dig at the profession to which he was
bred up. Says one Of his characters;
tiers:
IF there be laws, there must be law
yers to explain and judges to admins
ter them"
Joshua Geddes replies by pointing to
a flock of sheep on the downs, Were
a wolf to come upon yonder flock,
they would crowd for protection
doubtless, around the shepherd and his
dogs; yet they are bitten and harassed
daily by the one, shorn and finally Kill
ed and eaten by the other Though
laws and lawyers are evils continues
the honest quaker, yet they are the
necessary evils in this probationary
state of society,"" and he adds II have
known many righteous men who have
followed the profession I'M honesty and
uprighteousness of walk The greater

Versed everywhere by electric street
car wires, it is suggested there should
be provided pumps, driven by dynamos,
to take currents by means Of a trolley
hooked to the street-car wires at the
nearest point TO the fire. If this is
favorably acted upon, as seems likely,
Rouen will be equal, if not superior to
any European city in the efficiency of
its fire service. Herein is suggestion
for American cities, where street-car
wires are much more numerous. And
in time, when we have more street car
wires, we can have the system intro
duced here. ''' '.'

The Japanese continue to- supply the
community with specimens of crimes
of violence. There was the report of
two Japanese having Killed one another
on Kauai, that was Saturday. Sunday
morning announced that a japanese
had killed his two year old baby and
had meditated doing away with his
whole family. During last week, a
quiet and apparently, humane. japanese
steward tried to murder his wife and
then committed suicide. What strikes
one in these matters is the DISREGARD
for human life shown by this people.
It is nothing remarkable among them
as any Japanese paper will show. 1t
is not that we have a peculiarly bad
class of japanese here. Crimes of a
similar character occur all over Japan.
1t is curious that an ultra degree of
politness and of culture, which even
the lower class OF Japanese display,
should be united with such an utter
disregard for the value of human life.
The subject is one which is capable of
deep and long continued study

their merit, who walk erect in a path
which so many find slippery"
One is apt under present circumstan-
ces to wonder whether good many of
our lawyers are not finding their path
slippery. 1t appears to the ordinary
layman that Justice has long been lost
sight of while technicalities rule. The
sheep are assuredly being bitten and
harassed by the dogs, and more be TAX
en- the dogs seem DESTROYS of letting the
wolves out to raven on the flock rather
than give it protection. Law is a very
curious and intricate study, and the
more law man knows the less sense
of justice he seems to possess.

President Loubet is rapidly driving
his master of ceremonies to despair.
The president will not have ceremony;
it does not fit in with his happy, impe-
tuous manner. Directly his visitors ar
rive he rushes forward and gives a rip
of the hand before his bewildered at
tendant has got out with the usual an
nouncement. And now, copying the cx-
ample of the King of the Relgrapg, tnd
no doubt with happy ,recollections of his
struggling bachelor days, the president
takes Nine. Loubet out to dine a a cafe
in the open air.
