was to keep the edge of the burning pier
drenched and prevent the fire from
spreading.

the subject of lengthy interview which

those relating to indemnity AMI COM

New York, Jan. 9.--A despatch to the
Tribune from London says:
Earl Roberts has been closely occupied
at the war office and it is believed that
reinforcements will be ordered on large
scale for the moral OBJECT in convincing
Kruger and the Beers in the field that
resistance is futile and that Lord Kit
chener's overtures should be accepted.
The rapidity with which the details of
the favorable military operations at Ma

picion that affairs are not going equally
well in other quarters whence no au-
thentic news can be obtained. General

SCHOOL OF CHINESE POESY.
Mandarin 20 Found a Branch of the
"Guild of the Luscious Neotarine."

| Mandarin 20 Found Branch of the
"Guild of the Luscious Neotarine."
Happiness Is at last within the reach
of the British public. Chinese man
DARN has arrived In our midst TO found
a branch OF the Gould Of the Luscious
Neetarine," thus proving conclusiyeiy
that his countrymen are capable OF do
ing more than killing English mission
aries. The objects of the new society
are set forth as follows: 1T is estab-
lished In the writings of our matchless
elder brother, Wang-Ch'ang-Ling, that
the tree Of poetry fourishes In the gar
den Of friendship, and the goldfish OF
delight haunt the waters OF agreeable
conversation. OF late years. however,
the pavilion of pleasant voices has been
disturbed by the saucy exultation Of the
cookoo, and the spice gardens Of the
east have been profaned by the poison
flower devils of western bad manners.
On this account the dusty scholars OF
humanity have ventured to form the
benevolent Guild of the Luscious Nee
tarine as a bower of delight for the
lovers Of gentle intercourse. And as,
without the solaee of composition
there Is no outlet for the pent-up soul,
II Is ruled that the exalted stranger
who performs the condescension OF
desiring to be acquainted with our con-
temptible regulations shall be Informed
that, before we permit ourselves to
taste of his honeyed conversation. he
Is requested to crafty us with a speci-
men Of his exquisite skill as the poet
of the luscious nectarine. Should, how
ever, any member of our groveling as
ISOLATION, carried away by the madness
Of presumption, pretend to discern a
flaw in the august composition sub
mitted, we shall then despair OF intro
ducing the illustrious author to be-
stow upon us the fuller perfection Of
his sublime company. Let us, there
fore, lay bare the integrity of our own
hearts, and prevent the operation of
any possible intrigue by adhering
closely to the principles of honest
friendship" Chelsea has been select
