GOTIATIUNS
WITH CHINESE
tnvoys Ask That Exile be Substituted
for Death as Punishment.
II HUNG CHANG VERY FEEBLE.
His Mind. However. Appears as Clear

Very Anxious to Come to Terms
With the Allies.
II HUNG CHANG VERY FEEBLE.
(By Associated Iress.)

FEKIN. Feb. 5.-The Chiness plen.po-
tent.arIes, Prince Ching and Ii Hung
Chang, had protracted meeting this
morning with the foreign ENJOYS Twelve
names of prominent Cn.nese officials were
submitted with the request that China
keep faith with the Powers and punish
the persons named comrensurately with
their offenSeS.
Inc Chinese plenipotentarses replied
that Chinas earnest hope was to carry
out fully the demands of the Powers and
That she feat sure the punishment which
would be inflicted would be satisfactory.
It was discovered that two out OF
twelve OF the persons named were already
dead In certain cases the Chinese
pieEirotentiaries gave reasons why the
punishment inflicted should be banish-
ment and not death, asserting that in
these cases they particularly desired
Punishment only because the persons in
question were so closely related to the
Throne.
DRAW UP 4 LIST
After 4 long conversation on the Sub
ject of punishment, it was decided that
the foreign ENJOYS should draw up full
list of all accused officials, both national!
and provincial, with indictments specify
ing the guilt of each and a statement of
the punishment req Iired which would
then be presented to the Chinese plenipo-
tentiarIes for definite consideration.
Ii Hung Chang. who is very weak from
his recent illness. had TO be carried in and
out of the British legation. He is unable
to walk, but his head seems a.s clear as
ever.
The foreign envoys were impressed with
the evident desire of both Prince Ching and
Ii Hung Chang to come to terms. Prince
hing asked whether, provided China
showed by every means in her power. a
desire to carry out the terms Of the joint
note, the foreign troop would leave Pek.n.
Tie foreign ENJOYS replied that this was
a subject they could not discuss beyond
saying that if everything were satisfac-
tory they believed the Powers would be
gin to withdraw the troops early in the
coming spring, but that depended largely
upon the Chinese themselves

Farewell, farewell. long farewell,
To you. my dearest friend;
The hour has come when we must part,
Our friendship now must end.
You've cheered me on my darkest days
When everything seemed blue:
You've Frightened me a thousand ways
The one friend that was true.
But now to-day we needs must part,
To give you up I've sworn;
O. woe the day I met that girl,
Would she had ne'er been born
She made me give you UP. dear friend,
She parted us for life;
But do not grieve. we'll meet again,
When she becomes my wife.

The late Flavius Josephus Cook
lacked sweetness, generosity, sincerity
the qualities that win mems lasting
confidence in a preacher. He carried
an audience of non-thinkers by storm,
but the scholars distrusted him. For
ten years he was the laundering cham
pion of orthodoxy. He rode down
science and discussed dogmatically, in
"preludes," all things in heaven and
earth. AS Barrett Wendell put it:
HE said things with bang" That
was lifelong characteristic. Walking
through the college yard with the pres
emit writer one day, Cook suddenly
stopped, seized his astonished compan-
ion by the arm, glared at him and
cried: do you see that blade Of
grass? It is a miracle. Buffalo Com

A well-known insurance man in
New York recently had some amusing
experiences in Paris. At the Cafe
Ritz, seeing fine basket of fruit on
the table, he persuaded his wife to eat
a peach while waiting for luncheon to
be served. When the bill was rem
dered there was charge for fruit, Is
francs" He protested. One peach for
SO was a little more than he thought
an American should stand. The man
ager was summoned. "You have de-
stroyed the decoration of the table"
he explained. you should not have
eaten the peach. You will see there Is
no fruit ON the bill of fare" well,
when fruit isn't eaten, why don't you
put a fence around it and hang out a
sign? l refuse to pay that charge. 1t
is an outrage" In a very short time
our fellow-countryman had broken a
walters nose and kicked him into the
street, for which display Of valor a
gendarme hauled him to the police sta
ton.

London ices for the London boy!"
That is the motto of British COM
pany which has been formed to sell
penny ices, guaranteed pure and OF
wholesome manufacture, from clean
barrows, attended by clean British
statesmen in clean white coats. Every
ice will be served in a paper cup with
metal spoon, both intended to be
thrown away when once used, so that
the propagation of disease by repeated
washings of Eyeglasses in water that
is far from reputable may be avoided.
1t is no testing matter, this selling of
unwholesome ices by peripatetic
Italian vendors. AS each summer
comes around the same warning is
given by medical officers against the
half-penny ices Of The streets, the same
neglect Of the warnings by careless
children, the same record Of deaths
traced directly to the ice-barrow. This
new and recent supply of ices for
the boy" is a direct outcome of the
forceful admonition of the health
officers concerning this kind Of IRE
FORM"

Especial letter.

(OpcCidl LCttCi.J
The fact that many Mexican chill
dren are sent to the States and Eu-
rope for an education does not reflect
upon the schools of Mexico. In nearly
all cases they receive the foundation
of their education in their native
country, but seek other parts to per-
feet themselves in their work In the
different languages.
That education is one of the prin-
cipal efforts Of the government Is seen
at once in the many fine schools and
colleges where all classes may receive
free learning that enables them to
enter into any profession or business,
these schools and colleges being not
only for boys but for girls as well.

His Honey Was Missing.

The Kansas City Journal tells this
story: Frank Anderson was for years
well-known commercial traveller who
made Galena He was passionately
fond of honey, and the proprietor of
the hotel at Galena, at which he al
ways stopped always had some on
hand for him. On one trip Anderson
took his wife along, and as they APP
preached Galena he mentioned to her
that he was getting to place where
they could have some honey. When the
pair were sitting at the supper table
that night no honey appeared, and An
derson said sharply to the head waiter:
Where is my honey? The waiter smil-
ed and said: You mean the little
black-haired one? Oh, she don't
work here now"

sLIMKlNs' FIRST EFFORT.

"You never can tell what kind OF a
shot you're going to get from the
crowd when you're campaigning" said
Jake" Kemple, veteran spell
binder" at the Fifth Avenue Hotel the
other night.
THE State committee sent a kid
speaker along with me In Stanton
street last October 1t was a trying
out process for the youngster, stu
dent in Columbia and the son OF rich
lawyer. Just for fun, call him Slim
kins. Slimkins wore long Prince
Albert coat, and over that a light,
short, fall overcoat that lacked about
seven inches of covering the Prince
Albert. Add to this a skyscraper col
lar, a pair of light colored tan gloves
and plug hat. and you have line on
Slimkins' getup. The chairman of the
cart tail meeting knew me. and as soon
as hove in sight with Slimkins he got
hold of me and said:
Say, Jake, wot's dis yer springin'
on us. If de gang gifts after dis pictur
plate wunst dey'll make him look like
t'irty cents
81 said l guessed the young fellow
wouldn't make any bad break. but the
chairman looked apprehensively at
him and at his fine clothes. 1t was
arranged that my college friend should
follow the chairman. who made a good
short talk. When Slimkins got up he
was badly ratified. but he removed his
overcoat, tossed his gloves into his tall
hat, and said:
'Fellow-citizens and Republicans

down, an let the fat lobster spake his
piece said a Loarse-voiced man on
the far edge of the crowd.
THAT settled SlimSins," added Mr..
Kemple. HE seemed to shrivel up.
Soon his short light overcoat faded
away in the darkness toward the Bow
cry. The fat lobster referred to was
myself, and l had hard time getting
started. l told the State committee
about it afterward, and Slimkins was
scratched off the speakers list
