not the value of their shares, but sim

their shares, that is 100 per cent Of the
par value instead of 400 per cent which
Is the value of the property. The pro-
posal to issue decorations and orders
as l understand 1t is represented as an
act of grace on the part of the EN-
press showing her appreciation of those
Chinese subjects who advanced their
money for the promotion of an institu-
ton which has been of such signal benz
eft to the empire. 1t is a very polite
way of saying thank you,' although of
course it does not pay the shareholders
the interest on their money which they
have had invested for twenty years,
and from which in it's enlarged and ex-

they choose to pay out profits in divl-

received handsome dividends.
AN effort was made to get the Homo

to discuss the matter, but some OF

clusions, if any, it will come to. 1 do
not know"
While Yung Chu Him would not ex-
press any opinion on the subject con-
timing himself simply to a statement Of
the facts connected with the company
and his information as to the Empress
proposal to seize its property, other
Chinese interested in the matter. said
that protests not alone from the share
owners in the company, but from mer-
chants all over the Empire, against the
proposal, were being sent to the EN-
perur, and in all probability one would
be sent from here. The feeling is that
the scheme originated with the official
class as a ready means of raising funds
using the need of money to pay the in
demnity to the Powers as an excuse.
There has always been a chasm be-
tween the merchant and the official
class, and this it is said is aimed by
the official class at the merchant class,
and is likely to widen the chasm be-
tween them.
OF the hundred shares or thereabouts
held in Hawaii, a considerable proper

erican citizens, and it is felt that they
have a right to the protection of their
government against contiscation of
their property by another power, and
it is practically decided that an appeal
will be made to the State Department
at Washington. ry

ODD T4RI4BLE STARS.
Tzro That Are Unprecedented an
Some I'm mpOrtdnt Particular.

Hundreds of stars are known whose brightness
undergoes more or less perceptibie change from
time to time. These differ among themselves IN
many ways The dissimilarity may relate TO
their normal brilliancy, the total amount OF
alteration the abruptness of the rise and fall.
the length OF the period required for one whole
cycle. the regularity of the fluctuation or to
some other popularity. Hence there are proba-
bly no two that are exactly alike, and new dis
coveries add still further to the variety already
observed.
One of the most important points of difference
between variables is the inequality of the inter-
walls between their minima. Algol, one of thd
best known stars of this kind, because it can
be seen with the naked eye, has a period of
little less than three days, while Mira, also
visible at its maximum, takes eleven months
for one complete rise and fall. Plenty of varia-
bles require several years. and some Of them
more than century.
Until recently only few stars were know

Farmers and the Trusts.

The cattle men held their annual con-
vention at Kansas City a few days age.
and the question of the beef trust cam.
before them, and the result of the pro-
posed merger of all the packing houses
was stated TO the convention as fol-
lows:
THE raisers Of live stock in this
country would, if such merger cor
poration were formed, be compelled to
sell all their products to one purchaser,
and that purchaser would fix the prices
to be paid, the number of live stock to
be purchased, and the places at which
they would purchase and pay for the
same"
The farmers, in the aggregate raise
ten times the number of beef cattle
that are sent TO market from the free
ranges of the West. The farmers are
therefore interested in controlling the
beef trust, for they will be more at the
mercy of the trust when they market
their stock. A large shipper of cattle,
like the great cattle barons of the
plains, may probably be able to ar
range the prices they will receive be-
fore the steers are shipped; but the
farmer who sends a carload 70 the Chi
cago or Kansas City stock yards is, and
will continue to be, entirely dependent
upon the price that the beef trust die
tates. No class of citizens are more in
terested in trust busting than t farm
ers. and yet a majority of them con-
tinue to vote for the political party
that is allied with the trusts.

CONVICTED OF HIGH TREASON.
British NJ. p. Who Aided Beers Is Com
demned to Death.

Brit1s n M. +. who AIDED Beers As Con"
demned to Death.
Col. Lynch was found guilty in London
on the charge of high treason and sell
tence of death was Immediately imposed.
In the course of the trial of Col Ar
thur Lynch, member of Parliament for
Galway, on the charge of high treason,
there was no attempt to deny that Col.
Lynch supported the Beers, but counsel
contended that his naturalization was in
no way prompted by reasonable intent
and was solely for the advantage he
would thus secure for journalistic pur-
poses. Subsequently the defendant &C
lively supported the Boer cause i'll the
belief that he was a legally naturalized
burgher.
Replying for the prosecution the So
licitor general Sir Edward Carson, main
tanned that Col. Lynch joined the Boer
army as a discontinued Irishman, there
by committing a most cowardly and nest
serious act of treason" His naturaliza-
ton, continued the solicitor general, was
only fimsy pretext.
Col. Lynch is an Australian b. birth.
but an Irishman by nationality and
choice. He is an author, an engineer, a
journalist, soldier, and an ardent poll
tician.
After an education received at Mel
bourne university, at Berlin. and Paris,
Col. Lynch took up practical engineering
In Australia. He then went to Ireland
and became a candidate for Parliament,
but was defeated. After a short resi-
dence in Paris he visited the United
States. While here he called on Presi-
dent Roosevelt, then Governor of New
York, and was in consultation with the
radical leaders of the Irish movement
in this country. He then returned to
London and became journalist, varying
the monotony by accompanying Sir Gar
net Wolseley on the Ashanti expedition.
When the Boer war began Col. Lynch
left for the scene of action.
With President Kruger's permission
he organized the Second Transyaal Irish
brigade of rough riders. swore allegiance
to the Transvaal. and saw much active
service. After the defeat of the Beers
and while the colonel was in Paris, he
was elected by his Irish friends to repre-
sent Galway in the House OF Commons.

CANAL PACT SIGNED.
UNITED STATES GETS PANAMA
WAY BY TREATY.
Lease In Perpetuity on Route and Pow
er 20 Police 1t Granted by Colombia
Signatures Are Affixed at Home of
Secretary of State Hay.

The treaty between the United States
and Colombia for the construction of the
Panama canal by the United States was
signed Thursday afternoon at the home
OF Secretary Hay in Washington No
details of the signature of the treaty
were obtainable, but at the presidential
reception at the White House in the
evening the news that the treaty ut last
was an accomplished fact was told and
later was confirmed autboritatively on in
curry in official quarters.
Fears had been entertained that Co
lombia would not be willing to eccede to
the wishes of the United States in the
canal matter and that recourse to the
Nicaraguan canal project might be fore
ed on the government Of the United
States. But events have taken a more
favorable turn and Colombia transmitted
instructions and authority to Dr. Herran,
Its representative in the United States,
that made possible a conclusion of the
long negotiations.
The principal obstacles for some time
to the conclusion of the treaty, it is I'M
derstood, was the price that the United
States was to pay in the way of annual
rental for the strip of territory along
each side Of the canal right of way.
Some time ago there was a hitch over
the question of the extent to which con-
troll By the United States over this strip
Of land should go, Colombia objecting
on the ground that the provisions re-
Quested IN the treaty by the United
States would mean a relinquishment of
sovereignty by Colombia over part of her
territory.
This matter, however. was amicably
adjusted, as was a difference ms TO the
length of the lease of the strip of land in
question, the final result being a prac-
