Why Alexandra Dumas Did Not Sue
coed ns IA Publisher.
The MOusqnctaire, Partisan jour
nal founded by Alexandra Dumas,
grew and nourished for n short time
and then became extinct. 1t was car
ried Oil during a brilliant existence
with an astonishing disregard of bust
ness methods commonly in vogue. Its
staff was the largest and most varied
ever known. Persons would walk into
the office, propose working for the pa
per and find themselves Mt once ac-
cepted.
"What will you allow me" a new
man would ask.
"Whatever you like, my boy" Du-
mas would return. by the way" he
would explain to every new asprant,
1--WE must understand one thing: |
mean you to be handsomely paid. You
must have 1000 francs a month, and
if you should want a months pay In
advance now, don't scruple to ask for
it."
Everybody was dazzled, and Dumas
himself more than all the rest. No
business enterprise, however, could eX-
list on such n basis, and the Journal be-
gan to languish. Then n man named
Boulc proposed taking the speculation
out of Dumas hands, lie offered the
great man i0s francs a day, which
meant more than $1,000 year.
"IIere," said Boule, is checkbook
full of those little tinted leaves you are
SO fond Of Every morning you have
only to write your name ut the foot or
one, send it into the Office and touch
your 100 francs.
Dumas loved money and his face
beamed with delight But suppose"
said Inc, that some day | should want
300 or 100 francs"
"Well, all you have to do Is TO send
in three or -four of your checks. Moth
ing Is more simple"
The book lay on the authors desk, a
delightful and ready resource. Did

was paid. a poor woman was about TO
be turned out into the street. A few
more slips. and she was relieved. AT
the end of the week nothing was left

starts by washing the face of her com

vote. A plurality of votes cast for can
didates for senator shall elect, and the

CHINESE PRlNcEssEs OUT.
Ladies of the Court Entertained b,
Mrs. Conqer.


Pekin, March 15.-Mrs. Conger, wife
of the American minister and the sen :
Tor lady of the diplomatic corps, gave a
reception to nine Chinese princesses
and two ladies of the court. Some of
these had never before seen a foreigner.
The princess imperial. Yung Shou,
daughter of Prince Kung and adopted
daughter of the dowager empress, In
responding to a toast, presented the
dowagert empress greetings and her
prayer for the continuance of happy re-
lations between the hostess and herself.
The princess consort. Shun, and two of
the wives of Prince Ching and three of
his daughters We're present. The party
also included the ladies of the Ameri
can legation, four ladies from the
American missions and an interpreter.
The event is altogether unprecedented.
An edict issued yesterday says that
only one officer and one Annamite We're
murdered in the disturbances on the
Tonkin frontier. A statement from
Lien Fang. head of the foreign office,
says that these murders occurred in
French territory, but that the Chinese
are assisting in the capture of the
criminals.

RANFY HAGUE TREATY
Senate in Executive Session
Formally Approves Hague
Peace Treaty.
Important Feature Is the Prohi-
bition Of the Use Of Dunn
dunn Bullets.
Some Question as to Whether
Some Question as to Whether
Aeuinaldo's Capture violat.
ed the Treaty.

Washington March 15.-The senate
yesterday afternoon on the convention
growing out of The Hague peace con-
ference relating to the conduct of war
on land and sea, and finally ratified
the agreement without division. The
discussion turned entirely upon the
conduct of war in the Philippines and
related especially to General Funston's
capture of Aguinado.
Senator Teller inquired whether, if
this treaty had been in force at the
time. the method of Aginaldo's capture
could have been justified. He quoted
the conduct of spies, and said that he
did not mean himself, to say that Cen
eral Funston's course would not have
been regular, but merely desired to Sc
cure the opinions of senators who had
given attention to the treaty and who
also We're familiar with the details of
Aguinaldo's capture.
eociidtoi ouItoII replied 10 the inquiry,
speaking especially for General Funston,
and said that he was sure the pro-
ceedings on the generals part had been
not only humane, but in accordance
with the rules of civilized warfare. 1t
was true, he said. that General Funston
and his force had acted somewhat in
the capacity Of spies, but what they
had done had been in the line of hon
orable warfare.
Mr. Hoar also spoke at some length
regarding this provision In the treaty.
He referred to Aguinaldo's capture and
said that he believed the adoption of
the treaty would have tendency to-
wards elevating the conduct of modern
