Chinese Officials
Commit Suicide

A Chinese paper published in Pekln
has obtained the following details rela-
tive to the deaths of the high officials
Chauchuchiau, Yung-nien and Prince
Chwang, who committed suicide on
command of the emperor. 1t is impos-
sible to give the full report, as the de-
tails of the actual suicides are given
with true Chinese barbarity and una
Gorned lucidity. The whole account,
however, bears the stamp OF truth, and
the statement of the Chinese court that
the three officials had paid the penalty
for their crimes, hitherto improved.
may hereby be considered as confirmed.
The report runs:
Grandchildren ate gold leaf, which
is the distinguished method of taking
ones life among well-to-do Chinese
Death is caused not by poisoning. as is
generally assumed, but by asphyXia, as
the thin gold leaves stick in the air
passages. Hoping against hope, how
ever. that the empress would have
mercy on him, he took too little. and.
as he still lived when the time pre-
scribed had elapsed, he took opium

ROYALTIES as Admirals.

1t is rumored that Rear-Admiral the
Prince of Wales, p. N, will shortly
be promoted to the rank Of vice
admiral He is still on the active list
of the navy 1t is said that this is
the first time that a prince of Wales
has SO figured. but it is certainly not
the first time that duke of York, be-
ing heir to the throne, has been on
active service. James II. before his
accession to the throne was duke OF
York, and as admiral of the fleet he
did good service, proving better
sailor than he did a monarch. He sig
nalized himself by defeating the Dutch
at Solebay and was again victorious
over the same enemy in 1872.

Flying Days Near.

In deciding to issue a magazine deal
ing with aerial navigation we make no
attempt at prophecy, but there is no
question that flying by human being
is nearer realization than many peo-
pie imagine, and when we reflect upon
what has been done in other branches
of engineering it requires very small
effort of the imagination to realize
what may transpire in the develop
ment of aerial navigation in the near
future.-London Flying.

come into prominence it has developed
that many of these Celestials, not wish
ing to incur the wrath of their ortho-
doX brethren and thinking their
chances better for consideration at the
hands of Americans, have represented
themselves as Japanese. Their hair IS
coarser than that of the japanese, how
ever. and their features are quite Diff
ferent to one familiar with both races.
There are comparatively few Japan
csc in the United States. There is no
disposition on the part of the Japs to
emigrate to the United States as the
Chinese DO.
The japanese do not take kindly to
the sorts of work to which the Chinese
are adapted. When they do remove to
America. however, the Japanese take
up American ways and make 1nteln-
gent and progressive citizens. This is
said by Consul Toshiro Fuiita to be
due to the fact that the Japanese are
educated and broad-minded. Nearly
all educated Japanese have a knowl-
edge of English. and government docu-
ments and treaties are printed both In
japanese and English.
