played, but unhesitatingly awarded the palm of victory to Commander Kurnor of the Meteor. The whole combat last ed exactly one hour, and was most stubbornly contested. The Meteor lost two men killed and three wounded, the loss of the Bouvet being one man killed and nine wounded. A public funeral was given to the German dead, and a dinner and reception was rendered bJ the German residents of Havana to thd officers and crew of the victorious yess sel. On the Meteor's return home her crew were everywhere lonized and honors were heaped on Commander Ku. mor and his officers. Captain Franguet of the Bouvet also won promotion foA the gallantry displayed by him in tha action which but for the unlucky shot which went through his boiler might have had a different termination. The emperor can wish no better fortune to his splendid new yacht than that her peaceful victories shall be as brilliant as was that of her immortal prototype.--J. R. Caldwell.

THE SETTLEMENT WITH C1

l THE SETTLEMENT WITH CHINA. !. l The root of the difficulty in our | relations with China lies in the fact that we impose upon her by force the | obligations of a sovereign state in the | family of nations, and at the same time withhold from her the rights of such a state The western powers say | to China: You must allow our people to live among you: you must allow our merchants to trade and our | missionaries to proselytize; you must allow us to navigate your inland waters and participate in your coast ing trade, although we ourselves do not accord such privileges to the foreigner; you must allow us to send you opium, although you declare that it is in furious to the health and morals of your people, and that you could stamp out domestic production if importation were stopped: you must allow us to fix the amount of customs tariff we shall pay on your imports from us, although we ourselves regard the right of taxa ton as the most sacred of sovereign rights you must allow our mission aries to reside in the interior of your country, but you must not exercise any authority over them although their residence is so remote that our officials cannot control them; you shall not enjoy the full reciperocity which obtains between Christian states in the exercise of jurisdiction over the sub iects or citizens of each other in their respective territories, for your laws are barbarous, your judges
 
 loathsome; we will not admit you into the faimly of nations on terms of equal ity, but We will, nevertheless. compel you to act as if you were so admitted; you must discharge the obligation of civilized intercourse, however ignorant you may be of them; in short, you shall bear the burdens of civilization but you shall not enjoy it's privileges.
 If there is to be lasting peace, if greater rising than that of the boxers is to be averted, there must be radical change in this attitude of the West toward China. If we were asked to outline an ideal policy for the powers, we should say Respect the national life of the Chinese people and the integrity of their territory. Allow the Chinese themselves to determine the conditions of their own life, and the course and direction of their develop ment as long as they do not withhold the right of civilized intercourse For differential treatment substitute reel prOcal treatmen For arrogance, con- tempt and intimidation substitute con- sideration, conciliation and forbearance. Restrict, rather than enlarge, foreign rights differing in kind or degree from the rights which you yourselves grant

That is the Mission of Good Food
 There is an abundance of proof that food can be selected that will build up a brain as well as body.
 One case is that of a boy and the de- scription is given by his mother. She saws. "This particular son has always had delicate stomach, and when he was an infant had cholera infantum two or three seasons in succession; he was exceedingly hard to raise, and was not we'll neough to go to school when he became old enough.
 The mother says, Finally we con- cIuded to put him on Grape-Nuts eX- chnsiyely and see what the food would do for him We did, and to our aston jshment our boy improved daily. He is now hearty and getting along in school unusually we'll He still depends upon Grape Nuts for a goodly share of his diet.
 Whenever children are hungry at bed time it is always safe to let them eat Cfrape-Nuts and let them go to bed. l came to know of the value of Grape Nuts by using it myself, and found that I was unusually well nourtshed and gained rapidly in strength.

MAN AND HIS. LEGS.

There are many indexes to the mind but I learned of q new one the other day when I called to see a busy man at his office down on Broad street When l entered the outer office. it was quite evident that he was in. for I could see him through an open door leaning over his desk quite intent on papers that lay in front of him. I spoke to the clerk in attendance, whom I know real well, and asked that he announce me. He glanced into the other room before speaking.
 Wait minute or two" he said "It will be better, for he will have you come in the moment l say you are here"
 I didn't quite understand what he meant, but I took a seat to wait a minute or two I waited five of them and then spoke again.
 Wait until he crosses his legs" an- swered the clerk
 What has that to do with it?" I asked.
 Everything" he replied "He doesn't like to be disturbed when he is busy. and I know he is very busy be- cause he has his legs out straight A man never thinks hard with his legs crossed. As soon as his mind lets up a little, then he straightens, crosses his legs and is ready for visitors and a chat. When his legs go down again, it is time for the visitor to take his leave Just bear that in mind and see if I am not right"
 As he finished speaking up went the legs, and I was announced and re- ceived at once, New York Herald

The Reply.

London, Feb. 1.-The British govern ment replied to Dr. Kuyper, the Dutch premier, in relation to the Dutch gov ernment's proposals for bringing about peace in South Africa, that if the Boers in the field desire to negotiate for peace, negotiations can be entered into; but only in South Africa, The British goV- ernment adheres to it's intention not to accept the intervention of any foreign power. Following is the text of the re- ply of the British foreign secretary, Lord Landsdowne, to the communica- ton of Dr. kuyper:
 ''The Foreign Office, Jan. 29.
 "Sir: You were good enough to lay before me, January 25, a communica- tion from the Netherlands government in which it was proposed that, with the object of bringing the war to an end, his majesty's government might grant a safe conduct to the Boer delegates now in Holland, for the purpose of en- abling them to confer with the Boer

THE NAME METEOR.

One of the most dramatic episodes of the Prussian war furnished by the solitary naval combat of that great struggle, is commemorated by the se-
 lection by Emperor William of the name Meteor for his new American yacht. It will be recalled that this name was also given to the unsuccessful challenger for the America's Cup This tie, when she was purchased by the ern- peror several years ago. It is quite natural that the emperor, enthusiastic as he is on all matters pertaining to his navy, should desire to perpetuate in his own private vessels the name of the most illustrious ship in the imperial na- val annals, the little cruiser Meteor, who won the glory of being the first German man-of-war to meet and beat an enemy's ship in fair and square yardarm to yardarm duel. What the name Kearsarge is in American naval annals that of Meteor is in those of Germany. In fact, there is the very closest possible resemblance in the sur roundines and conditions of the fieht in which the little Prussan ship won her fame and the immortal duel of the Kearsarge and Alabama which took place half a dozen years earlier.
 In each instance the challenge to a duel was delivered in a neutral port and the combat was fought out in the presence of ships of neutral nation. In the case of the Meteor no less a per sonage than the captain general of the Island of Cuba, commanding a squad ron of Spanish vessels, not only wit messed the fight, but actually acted as umpire and referee and awarded the victory to the German after her French had turned to retreat.

President Kilties' Band Tour

A story of the cratic doings of Don aid MacCormack, the drum major with the Forty-eighth Highlanders' band, now touring in the States, which origi- mates in Fl Paso, Texas, furnishes spicy deading
 The story is founded on the failure of MacCormack to appear with the band at it's concert in Fl Paso. During the week the band spent at the Pan, MacCormack became enamored of Sen orita Aurora Mendez, in the Mexican village.
 When the 'Kilties' came to Fl Paso the first thing MacCormac did was to run over to Juarez, which is just across the river in Mexico, to visit his inamo- rata, who. after the Buffalo fair, had returned to her home there. 1 "The manager of the band was great | ly displeased when his big drum major l did not return in time for the concert and at first thought he had deserted. | Both the British and American repre- sentatives of the City of Mexico were l called up to try and find him, but to no purpose and the 'Kilties' continued their tour of the country minus Mac Cormack.
 A SORRY SPECTACLE.
 Yesterday he turned up here, most sorry spectacle. All the snap and gin ger seemed to have been taken out of him, as the outward badges of kilt and tartan of his semi military calling had been taken from him.
 He said that after he had spent pleasant couple of hours with Senorita Mendez, in the bosom of her family, he had signifed the necessity of his re- turn to El Paso, when he was immedi- ately set upon by his sweetheart's brothers and friends, who, after a hard fight, bound and secured him in an out house.
 As near as MacCormac could under stand the reason for his harsh treat ment was that he had in some way, probably through his lack of acquaint- ance with the Spanish language, com mitted himself to an immediate mar riage with Senorita Mendez
 MADE HIS ESCAPE.
 While he said that he would be only too glad to marry the girl in fact was most anxious to do so he could not un- til he had obtained his discharge from the British army.
 ''The fact that worried MacCormack most was that his inamorita should have taken such drastic measures. It knocked all the sentiment out of the af- fair, he said
 After being confined in the outhouse a couple of days the big fellow, by using his enormous strength broke his bonds and literally carried away his prison on his shoulders until he came to the river. where he crossed in a skiff to the American side.
 After being fitted out with clothes MacCormack left Saturday night to re- join his band, thoroughly cured of his infatuation for Mexican senoritas

THE KILIIES BAND.
THE BIC DRUM MAJOR SAID TO
 HAVE BEEN KIDNAPPED.

Letter Received Denying the story The Famous Scotch Band In Kilt and Plaid Expects to Visit This City Some Time in March.
 The famous band of the Forty eighth Royal Highlanders, under the direction of Bandmaster Slater, which appeared at the Hyperion year ago, expect to visit this city on their second tour some time during the month of March. The following amusing story about the big drum major, which is taken from the New York Telegraph, is reported in letter from the president of the band as being fake;
 "The Kilties' , Touring Address,
 Belleville, Canada, Jan. 15, 1902.
 Dear Sir:-So many have read the fol- lowing about our big drum major and so frequent are the letters asking If there is any truth in the yarn, that l take this means of emphatically deny ing the story Neither ''The Kilties" nor the big drum major have been in Texas and have not missed appear ing at a single concert throughout this tour.
 "The big Hielan' man." towering to a height of nearly seven feet, and weigh ing three hundred and ten pounds, seems to have melted jealousy in mana gers of rival organizations; not strange that it should but the Kilties' growing popularity and success are based on merit, and attempts like this will not stay the rising tide, silly stories to the contrary notwithstanding.
 Barring some more tangible attempt at abduction, the big man will positive ly be with us all the season.
 Yours sincerely,
