GREYHOUNDS.
They Are the FIrctcst of All Four
Footed Animals.

Rooted Animals.
Comparatively few people realize Of
what remarkable speed dogs are capa-
bic. Some remarkable statistics in re-
gard to this have been gathered by NJ
DuSOlCr Il French scientist.
After pointing out the marvellous en-
who follow their masters patiently for
hours while the latter are riding on bi-
cycles or in carriages. he says that even
greater endurance is shown by certain
wild animals that are akin to dogs
Thus the wolf can run between 30
and 60 miles in one night, and an arctic
fox can do quite as well. if not better.
NanScn met one of these foxes on the
ice at a point more than 40 miles north
west of the Sannikow territory, which
is $50 miles from ;hc ASiatic coast. ES-
kim0 ana Siberian dogs can travel ~
miles on the ice in five hours, and there
is one case on record in which team
of Eskimo dogs Travelled O. miles in
% minutes.
According to NJ. DuSOlicr. the speed
of the shepherd dogs and those used in
v a.
second. English settlers and pointers
hunt ut the rate of IS TO 10 miles an
hour, and they can maintain this speed
for ut least two hours.
FoNkoundS are extraordinarily swift,
as is proved by thc fact that Il dog OF
this breed once beat Il thoroughbred
horse, covering four miles in Gla min
utcS, which was at the rate of nearly
IS yards Il second.
GrryhnundS are the swiltcst of all
four footed creatures, and their speed
may be regarded as equal to that Of
carrier pigeons. English grpyhounds,
witch are carefully selected and which
are used for courSing. are able to cOv-
cr nj full gallop Il space between IS
and - yards every second.
How great an achievement this is
may be- judged from the fact that a
thoroughbred horse rarely If ever eX-
cccdS 10 yards. Moreover, it is said
that hare ut its greatest speed never
goes faster than ut the rate Of Is yards.
These interesting statistics are cX-
citing much comment among sports
men and other lovers Of dogs, and the
opinion is unanimous that NJ. DuSOlier
has fully proved the right Of the grey

Ten Thousana French Troops to
Leave In May-TAetr Departure
Causes Alarm.
PHKIN. April 22.-Gen voyron. the
commander of the French troops in
China, has informed Gen. Chaffee that
ten thousand French soldiers viii leave
China next May.
Ii Hung Chang believes that the
Chinese troops, under Gen, Liu, will
he withdrawn over the boundary mark
ing the territory defined by Field Mar
shall Won Waldersee as the sphere of
operations for the allies as the COVER
nor Of Shan 81 province received tele-
graphic instructions nearly a week
ago ordering their withdrawal.
The numerous appointments of Chi
namen with pronounced anti-foreign
tendencies is causing comment at Pc
kin. Even the foreign ministers admit
that so many appointments of this
character are ill-advised. while the
missionaries and other civilians are
alarmed for the future.
1t is the opinion of Mr.. Rockhill, the
American special commissioner that the
foreign troops may now commence leav-
ing China with perfect safety; on the
other hand. the announcement that ten
thousand French troops are to leave in
May, causes fear among the French resi-
dents and this fear is greater among the
French native converts TO Christianity
who inform the priests that they are daily
threatened with what will happen to them
when the foreigners leave.
The views of the foreign ministers on
the withdrawal of the troops is not shared
by the great majority of the foreign resi-
dents.

What the Democratic party needs.
says Mr.. Bryan, is not advice to sur
render, but courage to resist the attacks
which are being made upon American
doctrines and Democratic principles. :
Nothing is to be gained from
q party standpoint, and everything Is
to be lost from the standpoint of prin-
ciple by Mr.. Watterson's method Of
dealing with the questions at issue He
expects the Democratic party to en-
dorse the colonial system, and then
promise to send better carpetbaggers TO
Manila than the Republicans have sent.
Such course would make our party a
laughing stock
Truly, the Democratic party can
never hope to defeat the Republican
party by endorsing the Republican par
tvs principles and practices. Yet this
is what Mr.. Watterson advocates, if he
advocates anything. Far better" says
Mr.. Bryan, that his voice should COM
mand charge upon the Republican
strongholds than that it should call a
retreat in the midst of battle which
must determine, not only the fate of
this Republic, but the fate of all Re-
publics for years to come"

Arrangements Made for Taking
Fifty Million of 1t In the Untted
states.
NEW YORK. April 22.-The Evening
Post says:
Fifty million dollars of Great Brit
aims new loan has been placed in the
United States. The National City
Bank, J. P. Morgan & Co., Barring, Ma
goun & Co., and the New York Life
Insurance Co, comprise the syndicate
that has taken the loan. American
subscriptions with probably aggregate
much in excess of the $50, 0O0, 900 ar
new consols place the loan in the front
rank of high class government invest
ments. 1t was announced this after
noon that most OF the loan had been
placed by the syndicate.
'sOf the amount subscribed the New
York Life Insurance company has
bought outright 100000 of the new
bonds. Besides this it put in a separ-
ate subscription to-day for 5000 900
more
1T is understood that besides the
s50,000,000 contracted for, syndicate
members have put in provisional bids
for several millions more. This was
done to provide for the overflow sub
scriptions which were expected as soon
as details of the loan were announced
The Mutual Life Company was reported
to have subscribed for s5,0o0,000 of this
loan, but this could not be confirmed.
The British consols offered in this
country at 941a per cent, payable at
various dates up to December next to
bear interest at the rate of "a per
cent. annually up to April 5, 1903, and
afterward at 27s per cent. per an
mum.
