where one sees hung up the significantly
unique signs, Quick Lunch and sees
them struggling back in the evening TO

idea OF repose is not passing away from
our civilization, and If the art of enjoying
repose is not already lost.
Haste and speed do not necessarily imnly
genuine progress. Already in every branch
OF our literature and fine arts the ravages
being made by excessive haste are appar-
ent. There are many other things that
Oriental social missionaries might teach us
about. The Chinese might tell US of
their idea of the family as the pivot and
most important center of their Ife-of flial
devotion, where the father is considered
something more than a dollar-grinding
machine. and consideration and care for the
old-of commercial integrity and honor. The
apanese might preach to US of cleanliness
and of p~oliteness, and endeavor to impart
some of that wonderful artistic feeling and
genuine love of flowers and the beauty of
nature which Is instinct in the lowest as
well as the highest among their people.
They might lecture on the tea ceremonies
which elevate hospitality and the art OF
welcome to the level of a fine art in con-
trast to our social entertainments, which
are fast developing into astronomical COM
petitions whose success seems measured
by the amount of dollars expended on them.
WHEN RUSSIA GRABS MANCHURIA.
These are ideas we'll worth footing and
carrying back to lessen the vulgarity of our
vainglorious civilization. As we called to-
gether The Hague conference In a vain at
tempt to reach the standpoint from which
the Chinese with whom the pen is really
mightier than the sword) regarded war at
the end of the last century, so, before the
end Of the present, will we be vainly

raging torrent of material progress which
will then be madly sweeping us from the
cradle to the grave without pause for the

What Count Okuma. ex-prime minister OF

They were just beginning to come back to
what were. in the majority of cases, the
ruins of their homes, when the Germans,
late for the first march for the relief, came
up to enter upon their campaign of re-
venge, start their so-called punitive expe-
ditions, and spread fresh terror into the
already horror-stricken people.
Even with the offer of high wages it was
almost impossible to obtain servants. l
managed with great difficulty to secure
two. One l called Sapolio. because he
didn't wash clothes, or anything else; and
the other, Boxer. as he really had been
one, a young fellow of sixteen. who hal
been caught r~edhanded and was given over
to a soldier to be shot; but Boxer just
laughed in the face of his executioner, and
the soldier, being unable to fire in the face
or the laughing child, let him go.
1t was to the japanese quarter that the
people first began to come back in any
number. The American and British quar-
tiers also after a while became fairly pop
ulous, but in the Russian, the German
and the French districts the inhabitants
dared not return, and it is small wonder
that we read in the papers OF these out
casts forming themselves into bands of
outlaws. who roamed, maravding, around
the country.
Out of this vast scene of war and ter
rible rapine it would be an agreeable recol-
lection if one could think that some of the
missionaries at least raised their voices
in merciful protest to plead against the
outrages committed by some of the allied
soldiers, but no such pleading in the cause
of humanity and mercy was to be heard
from them. Perhaps it was because they
were too busy in the sale of loot for the
COMPENSATION of their converts and them
selves. The Rev. Mr.. -Ament was pre-
sented by his admiring converts with 3
magnificent umbrella, which presumably
was also looted.
One can imagine the three great teach
ers of mankind, Christ. Buddha and Con-
fucius. looking down and surveying the
entire prospect with pain and sorrow.
thinking how little the result of their teach
ings was to be seen in the actions of their
followers. and what deeds were materially
ing out of the maxims they had taught
them.
There is no question whatever that the
cause of Christianity in China has received
a severe shock by this campaign. The
hatred which the Chinese felt for foreign
ers is now immensely intensified. and slow
as.was any real progress being made by
Christianity in China before. IT will un-
doubtedly be slower still in the years i'm
mediately to come.
Staying now in New York-"the City of
Unrest'-after a ~sojourn in China and
Japan. 1T appears to me that there would
be an opportunity for some social mission
aries from the East to come and teach US
many things.

and decay covered everything like a STROUD.
The pattern in the rich, soft. yellow carpet

tographed a pretty American girl OF the
party seated on the Emperor's throne
Thrones are very becoming to American
girls. We have the example of how grace
fully one is filled in India, and we are
shortly to have another coupled by an
American girl in Dublin Castle. 1 suppose
their adaptability TO this position is due
to the fact that. more than any other
woman in the world, the American girl Is
used TO keeping her foot on the neck OF
man things. and the foot is such a pretty
one that the man things like to have it
there.
There was a strange and striking con-
trast between the private apartments or
the Emperor and Empress dowager and the
rest Of the palace. The latter showed ev-
cry sign of neglect and decay, but in these
imperial private apartments everything
was kept in the most exquisite order. Great
bronze ornaments of beautiful workman
ship stood under the trees in the court
yard, plate glass windows filed the front
and back of each set of rooms. and along
these windows were ranged the most beau
tiful of green and white jade,
which were in such a position as to catch
the sunlight and show to the best advan-
tage the chaste artistic delicacy and refine
ment which is alone to be found in jade
stone.
There were a large number of costly
ornament of Western manufacture, which
were evidently presents which had been
made to the Emperor by European poten-
tates, or possibly by concession hunters.
All these looked vulgar in the extreme in
comparison TO the native works of art.
Both in the Emperor's and the Empress
dowager's rooms there were an enormous
collection of clocks-clock of every design
and description, from those richly orna-
mented with diamonds to the commonest
painted description which may be seen in
any saloon. If they were all kept going
they must have been the only thing TO NAL
the delightful repose of these tree-shaded
courts, for in all else there was a delicate
atmosphere of refined rest and repose, cush-
Toned with every adjunct of Oriental lux
ury.

NO RIGHTS SURRENDERED.
The Canal Treaty Question Will Bear
 Easily on Both Sides.

Washington, Oct 9.-There has been no surrender by England to the United States in the matter of the new -sth- milan canal treaty, according to the best authority possible. It is said to be equally true that the United States has sacrificed no principle in these ne- gotiations, and the effect of contrary statements is deprecated as likely seri- ouSly to jeOpardiZe the chances of the consummation of the convention which shall finally and peacefully settle an issue that has been a source of danger for the past fifty years.
 It is said that what actually has hap pened is that each side has preserved the underlying principle of the Clayton Bulwer treaty and the new convention will provide for a waterway, neutral at all times, and open to commerce Of the world. The Clayton -Bulwer treaty, however, drawn half century ago. is proved to be defective III mechanism for giving effect to this purpose. The new treaty simply provides this nle- chanism. England is relieved from the guarantee, which in her case was only troublesome and which, being as- stunned by the United States in toto, is quite as effective
 As viewed from the American point of view even, there was no surrender on England's part in seeking this re lief. inasmuch as the above mentioned principle is reiterated and affirmed as binding upon the United States. AS for the form of the treaty, it may be stated that, it embodies, in substance, the amendments to the Hay-Paunce- fote treaty which were adopted by the senate and beyond that, the changes are believed to be textual rather than substantial

for First Honors.
 New York Oct 9.-Bright sunshine and summer-like breezes and large gallery greeted the contestants in the women's national golf tournament on the links of the Baltusrol golf club to- day. The sixteen winners of yester- days qualifying round were paired to play at match play. The match which carried the largest gallery was that of Miss Margaret Curtis and Miss Pauline Mackay. Miss Curtis drove the finest ball of the morning from the opening tee carrying it nearly to the bunker, POO yards away.
 Another gallery went out after Mrs E. A. Manice and Miss Louisa A. Wells. Mrs Manice also drove a beau tiful ball. Some of the players were palpably nervous and Miss Emily Lockwood and Miss Harriet Curtis both drove out of, bounds.
 The reason for the attention paid by the gallery to the two matches men tioned was that either Mrs Manice or Miss Curtis was expected to be the Boston representative in the finals.
 When all the pairs on the champion ship had started. the 16 who qualified for the consolation cup offered by the United States golf association went out in order
