HEARD IN PASSING

Some of the Washington hotel and boarding house keepers charged their inauguration guests imperial prices, on no better ground thansthat it was an imperial inauguration.
 China's consent to being despoiled of territory by Russia may not have been entirely voluntary, but the cZar will stand pat on it and see what the otffer powers will try to do about it.
 The republican majority in congress put Philippine crown on the head of Mir Mckinley, but it's value to the loot CTS was greatly diminished by the Hoar amendment dealing with the granting of franchises and the dispo- sition of public lands.
 The country owes much to the demo- crnts of the defunct fifty-sixth con gress. but they should receive especial thanks for having prevented the ma jority putting through the ship subsidy job and for having compelled the ma jority to reduce war taxes.
 Governor Dietrich of Nebraska has been expressing the opinion that Ted dy will make the senate do business. It might be we'll for Mir Dietrich to in- form himself as to the amount of au- thority the vice-president has in the senate chamber, then he wouldn't ex- press such opinions.

SYSTEMATIC LIVING.

The woman who has mo time for relaxation and systematic exercise is precisely the woman who needs to take it. Rest, exercise, diet. amuse ment and work are of equal impor- tance i'll the vast scheme of living, if one would live sanely, that is. health fully. The old saying, ''All work and no play makes Jack Q dull boy" is perfectly true, and that all play and no work have the same effect Is equal ly correct. It is the wise adjustment of the proportion of each that makes for health, says a writer in the New York Tribune.
 II get all the exercise I need in going about my household duries," many women assert, but that is the greatest mistake possible. Under CT dinary circumstances few sets of muscles are called into activity, and the mind, at the same time is fully occupied. For physical exercise to be helpful, the mind should be at rest. A walk of twenty minutes duration i'll the open air is an absolute daily. neces- sity. and should be at reasonably brisk pace. Deep breathing should be practiced on these walks, until it be- comes fixed habit. X good plan Is to- inhale slowly while taking seven F mental application soon ceases to be necessary, and the walker almost un- consciously breathes in this way. Deep breathing is helpful in cases of in somnia also.
 The average woman takes too little care of her health until she loses it, and then she takes too much care Of it. with tOnics and nostrums. She drinks two or three cupfuls of strong coffee for breakfast, eats meat three times day. takes cakes and ices ad infinitum. and by the time she is 30 or earlier has established chronic dyspepsia that is guaranteed to last until her death. There are many more illnesses from overeating than from overworking, and far greater danger to beauty.
 Another hindrance to health and consequently beauty is the wearing of unnecessary clothing. The body breathes through the skin, and when layer after layer of cotton and wool envelop it. so that no breathing is pos sible, the whole physical organism suf- fers. Every night before retiring the entire surface of the body should be rubbed with the hand, enclosed in a glove of Turkish toweling. This opens the pores and stimulates the skin to q proper performance of it's breathing and excretory functions. The woman who does this then sleeps in properly ventilated room, takes a warm sponge bath and cool splash every morning and eats sensible food and does not need to worry about her complexion. unless something is radically wrong, demanding physicians care.

Writing on the Cuban question, and

Writing on the Cuban question, and the attitude of the present republican administration toward the people of that island, q staff writer on q New York paper says: ITO Cuba we have promised independence. not suZerain- ty; but We profess to be granting the former while we assert the latter. That Cuba should so conduct it's affairs as to make this reservation of no i'm portance is not possible. A country long ground down by alien rule like that of Spain cannot at once establish that degree of social confidence and those habits of orderly submission to recognized authority to which every country must come through long pc riods of social disturbance. America herself did not attain that without times of disturbance Suppose there should happen in Cuba anything like Shays rebellion in Massachusetts, or the whiskey insurrection in Pennsyl- vania, or even Doris rebellion in Rhode Island, or the Bornburner ex- citement in New York-then the way would be open for q fresh invasion of Cuban autonomy and for program which would correspond to the ulti- mate wishes of the imperialistic party It is not impossible or unnatural that they shrink from trying to carry out that program at present. The war in the Philippines is not encouraging to such attempts. But they look forward to q time when those islands will have submitted to our alien rule and the American people have had their first taste of imperial pride and satisfaction and when the annexation of Cuba for the benefit of mercantile syndicates in New York and elsewhere will be with ill the scope of practical politics. So they profess to grant Cuba it's inde- pendence, but they take care that the gift has a string to it.

s'It is beyond the limit of any mere
 ly human descriptive powers to do jus tice to the timber wealth of the Pacific coast says a writer in the New Eng land Engineering Magazine. Tt has been calculated with reference to Brit ish Columbia alone that at the pres ent rate of consumption it would take roo years to exhaust the more availa- ble supplies of timber; and as. under the husbandry of nature. forests will renew themselves in less time than zoo years, the calculation is merely a way of indicating that the timber re-
 sources of the Pacific coast are prac- tically ineXhaustible. It is not too much to say, then, that for all trade and commerce into which wood and the products of wood enter, and for all manufactures in which wood and the products of wood are consumed. the Pacific coast possesses resources incal- culably greater than any other portion of the globe, civilized or unciviliZed. AS regards the products of the mine. the territory under consideration all ready produces no inconsiderable pro- portion of the worlds annual supply of gold, silver. copper and lead. It is besides infinitely rich in iron. coal and petroleum. of which its stores are hard ly yet comprehended. much less util- ized. And what is known of all it's mineral resources is as nothing in con- parison with what is not known"

FRIDAY, MARCH s, 1901.

Senator Morgan made a last appeal legislation, but the administrators order to the contrary made it in vain. The Hay-Pauncefote treaty has now lapsed by limitation, and if the idea that we must get the consent of Great Britain continues to control this gov ernment another treaty must be nego- tiated before congress acts.

LITTLE DAMAGE DONE.
Accident to the kearsarge's Thirteen.
Inch Gun of Trivial Nature.

PENSACOLA, Fla, Feb. 1.-THE acci-
dent to one of the thirteen-inch guns on
the battleship Kearsarge while she was
cruising recently off Key West, in the Gulf
of Mexico. as reported last night, is said by
her officers to be of a trivial nature. No
damage was done to the gun except to
the rifiing. A premature discharge of one
of the shells was the cause.
WASHINGTON, Feb. ia mail report
giving an account of the bursting of shell
in the bore Of one of the big thirteen-inch
guns of the United States warship Kear-
sarge has been received at the Bureau of
Ordnance Of the Navy Department The
accident occurred several weeks ago. while
the ship was at target practice off Pensa-
cola, Fla. The damage resulting is said to
be not serious. and consisted mainly in the
reforming or ''gouging'' of the tube. This will
not prevent the gun being used again. The
naval officials treat the matter lightly and
say that such explosions occur occasion
ally. 1t is probably the first time, how
ever, that an explosion has occurred in one
of the thirteen-inch guns. The pecuniary
loss will not be very large.

Gen. Chaffee without Authority to
Participate i'm the Expedition, Al
though Formally Requested.
FRENCHMAN MAY COMMAND
IF THE TROOPS OF THAT NATION
CONSENT TO TAKE PART.
Military Men Elated at the Prospect
Are Expected to Fight Stubbornly.

PEKING, Feb. ia few days ago Count
Won Waldersee wrote to the generals under
his supervision notifying them to have all
their available troops ready in two weeks
for an expedition lasting eighty days. To-
day General Chaffee and General Voyron,
the French commander, received letters
asking for their cooperation and express
ing desire to know what forces they can
spare. In commencing his letter to Cen
eral Chaffee, Count Won Waldersee says:
Owing to the unsatisfactory nature of the
negotiations for peace and also to circum-
stances rendering such a course desirable,
1t will probably be necessary to resume mil
itary operations large scale. especially
towards the west"
It is not thought likely that General
Chaffee will agree to such plan without
instructions from Washington. The French
commander, however, is expected to do so.
Count Won Waldersee's plans contemplate
offering the command of the expedition in
the first instance to Sir Alfred Gaslee. the
British commander, but ii is believed that,
in view of his recent illness, General Gas
lee will inform Count Won Waldersee that
he is unable to accept the command In
that event 1t will be offered to General Voy-
rci, provided the French fall In with the
arrangement which Count Won Waldersee
believes will be the case. Such an offer to
General Voyron would have the effect il is
thought, of overcoming the differences
which have existed between the French
and Germans, because it would be demon
stration Of Count Won Waldersee's conf
dence in the military ability of the French
contingent.
Ere long an announcement Is expected
that the destination of the proposed expe-
dition is Si-Ngan-Fu. The foreign ENJOYS
believe its object to compel the Chinese TO
accept the terms of the powers. 1t is
thought that when it becomes known that
the expedition has started the imperial
court will hasten to comply Immediately
with all the demands of the joint note.
The military are much elated at the pros
pect Of active service Many believe the
Chinese army will strive to the uttermost 10

Discriminating Duty Imposed by Rus
Ircn and Steel Exports.
DECREE WAS A SURPRISE
NEWSPAPERS EXPRESS REGRET AT
THE "UNFORTUNATE INCIDENT.
De Whites Reprisal Out Of All Pro-
portion to the COuntervailing
Duty Imposed ON Sugar.

ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 17.-Shrewd OBJ
servers in ST. Petersburg believe that the
Russian minister of finance, M. De Witte,
in imposing discriminating duty on Amer
lean manufactures of iron and steel, was
not only animated by desire to protect
Russian sugar producers. but was eager to
seize an opportunity to mobilize Russia s
industrial army, with a view Of proving
it's ability to stand the test of tariff war
1t is believed, moreover, that he desires
to impress Germany even more than the
United States.
The Russian press does not give any par
t.cular approval to the experiment. The
Bourse Gazette usually influenced by the
minister of finance, warns both sides
against implicit faith in the Bsmarckian
theory that tariff wars do not disturb good
political relations, pointing out that ex-
rerience has shown the opposite to be the
case as a rule. 1--WE hope the friction will
be as quickly removed as it arose." con-
tinues the Bourse Gazette, "since the po-
litical relations now existing between the
two powers are the best they have ever
known. Both are playing the game of the
Tertium Gaudens. which is preparing a
blow against both. Doubtless American
public opinion is wiser than the sugar pro-
ducers and the government that Is acting
in their interest"
The Novosti, correctly representing Rus
sian public opinion as to the Russian gov
ernments sugar policy, demands the aboli-
tion of the domestic tax and of system
devised to enable few lazy manufacturers
to make enormous profits at the expense of
consumers. Russia's export policy. the
Novosu contends, is designed principally
to support high domestic prices. 1t rs
we'll known that one of the chief obstacles
to temperance work in Russia is the price
OF sugar, which checks the consumption Of
tea.
The Novoe vremya reminds Americans
that they are the principal commercial
beneficiaries of Russian railway enterprises
in eastern Asia, and expresses hope that
the United States Supreme Court will de-
eide in Russias favor. "Reprisals between
friendly nations" 1t says, SHOULD remain
as last resort. Hitherto Russia and the
their differences peacefully. whether po-
litical or commercial Evidently the
Novoe vremya's article was written before
M. De Witte retaliated.
Americans here have long been con-
vinced that one of the most formidable
obstacles to the development of America
export trade with Russia is the lack OF
sufficient return cargoes to make a direct
steamship line between New York and St
Petersburg profitable Therefore, they de-
plore any action that would tend to ag-
gravate the difficulty

MANUFACTURERS CONCERNED
Conference of Makers of Agricultural
Implements to He Held.

CHICAGO, Feb. 17-Stirred to the sense
of the necessity for immediate action, the
Illinois Manufacturers Association will
endeavor to assemble the leading manu-
facturers of agricultural implements in the
United States in Chicago at an early
date for the purpose OF discussing the re-
taliatory tariff which the Russian
government intends to place in effect on
March /. The directors of the Illinois Man.
ufacturers Association will hold a con-
ference tomorrow, when arrangements will
be made to send out notices to all manu-
facturers interested in the Russian trade
asking them to attend the meeting. The
chief object In calling the manufacturers
together will be TO canvass the situation
with a view to its correction. 1t Is UNDER
stood that the manufacturers will endeavor
to get a sugar importer to protest against
the tariff imposed on beet sugar from
Russia and thus carry the question before
the directors in the hope that the tariff
may be changed.
