Washington, Feb. 25.-Representa-

Count Cassini, regarding the increas-
ing seriousness of the situation in
China, in the hope that the United
States will cooperate with the other
powers to stop the illegal importation
OF arms, which has reached an alarm
ing stage of activity. Similar repre-
sentations have been made through
the Russian representatives to Bel
gium, Germany and Great Britain. The
Chinese officials claim they are power
less TO stop the practice and the Rus
sian government, in the interest of
peace, has called the matter to the at
tention of the powers. The Belgians
are the chief offenders in this illegal
practice, though it said many arms
are entering China from the United
States. Germany and Great Britain.
Reports received at the state depart
ment also indicate that mischief is
being wrought by the importation of

There is joy in the hearts Of the
Anglomani;cs. King Edward has just
bestowed an unspeakuble favor OH his
American subjects, says the San Fran
cisco Leader. His Majesty was not
content with letting us keep Il part of
Alaska with adjacent islands and seas
that we purchased from Russia. He
has conferred still greater honor on
the trusty and well beloved citizens
Of these United States. Edward has
transferred his ambassador ut the
Court of Madrid to Washington. Sir
Henry Mortimer Durand is the first
ambassador ever promoted to the
United States. Hitherto some uncon-
sidered minister to the Ahkoond Of
Swat or the Ameer of Afghanistan was
accounted good enough for us. 1t is
said that Sir Mortimer is sent to
Washington because he is great
lawyer. But really what is needed is

An ingenious railway official, in st.
Paul, Minnesota, has invented what he
calls an "electroscope," by means OF
which it is claimed Il person convers,
ing through the telephone can, at the
same time, see the party with whom
the communication is being held, says
the Irish-American. At first glance,
this would seem incredible: but, the
scientific explanation is given by the
inventor; and when it is remembered
that the long -distance telephone has
made possible oral communication
over hundreds of miles of land, while
the telegraph carries Ineligible mes
sageS under three thousand miles of

acle Of scientific achievement must be
regarded as within the compass of hu-
man ingenuity. This is truly the age

Of the best features of its progress is
that every step in advance, so taken,
helps to knock the Darwinian mudders

then the Protestant ministers have
failed in their duty. Ministers of the
gospel should preach the gospel, and,
preaching the gospel, teach right liv-
ing in private and public life. Evil
IDENTIFY many have failed to do their
duty, if these ministers are to be taken
at their word. The trouble with these
preachers seems to be that they crave
notoriety, which the plain preaching
Of the gospel does not afford, there
fore they prostitute their callings and
the pulpit to mere political rostrums
from whence they hurl forth cum
ningly-devised and sensational allit-
erations such as greed, grab, and
graft" "loot, lust, and larceny" To
the great credit of Catholic priests
let it be said that they are never found
engaged in such abortive work
Their preaching is confined to the
gospel and their teaching is that
of Jesus Christ. They work for the
salvation of men and not to please
rich congregations that they may re-
ceive large salaries. If ministers of
the gospel would live by the gospel,
teaching the gospel instead of living
by politics, pleasing their rich hearers,
the character Of citizenship would be
higher than it is to-day. But it is by
no means true that the majority of
the people of any city is in favor of
bad rather than good government.
The preachers with political pulpits to
the contrary, the people did not vote
for greed, grab, and graft" nor for
''loot, lust, and larceny" but certain
it is they do not receive their religion
or their politics from these sensation
alists.
