made a brief speech, in which he said:
Il beg your imperial majesties to believe
that l fully appreciate the distinguished
honor you do me in granting this audience.
1t is not necessary for me to say that the
friendship of my country for China and her
hOnored rulers is sincere and lasting. Yet
may say that all my countrymen are
watching with deep interest and the great
est confidence the development of this
splendid empire under rulers representing
family that has governed for over go
years.
His imperial highness made a reply, in
which he said:
In coming to pay his respects to US in
this audience his eXCellency the admiral has
been most felicitous in his remarks, which
have given very great pleasure. The
friendship between China and his honorable
country has been unfailng and genuine.
and has grown closer with the lapse of
time. The present is one of critical impor-
tance to our prosperity in many ways. and
we more than ever desire to strengthen the
good relations with his honorable country,
so that China may attain to an equally
high position. and we hope that such re-
lations may be of mutual profit We also
wish for the honorable admiral constant
happiness and good fortune in all his un-
dertakings. Such Is our sincere DESIRE"

Conger and the ladies accompanying them.
They were then given a breakfast with the
princesses, during which their imperial
II ajesties again appeared and indulged at
great length in general and friendly conver-
sation. Everything possible appeared to
have been done by the court to make the
reception cordial as wen as impressive, with
all of which Admiral Evans seemed well
pleased" "

In the Natural History Department Of

1t belongs to wholly tropical species

ness OF the head and tail"
The reptile hitherto has been found in

moment he was feeling about with his
hands and moving his head from side to
side. trying to lift himself. while he would
murmur: What crowds What devotion,
My dear people!
Then, falling back inertly. he would sigh
and say: oh the weight of these robes,
Can l hold out until the end?" This was
followed by scraps of Latin verses and
prayers and then came an interval of
silence which would be broken by another
access of energy. in which the pope would
cry: The cons!story is over. They can
reproach me no longer, How many faces
of all kinds, How many foreigners! The
church is triumphant" and so ON over and
over again.
The words the pope addressed to Car
dinal Oreslia. and which may perhaps prove
to be his last utterance the last supreme
effort of that intelligence which has as
tonished the world are much commented
upon and ii is wondered whether the irr-
tention of Leo NH was to indicate Car

EXPECTED TO DO HIS DUTY.
Obligation Resting on an Army Of
ficer at All Times.


The President has approved the action OF
the court-martial in the case of First Lieu
tenant Leonard 7. Baker 1st Infantry, who
was convicted of neglectng his studies at
the general service and staff school at Fort
Leavenworth, Kan, result of which he
was found deficient in important military
duties and sentenced to be dismissed. The
President approved the sentence, but com
muted it so as to provide that Lieutenant
Baker shall be reduced in rank, so that his
name will be at the foot of the lineal list
of first lieutenants OF infantry, and to for
felt $50 of his pay a month Tor fifteen
months This is a reduction of thirty five
files and an aggregate loss of 500 in pay.
In announcing the Presidents action in this
case Secretary Root made the following
Endorsement:
In publishing to the army the action
taken in this case the Secretary of War
wishes to call the attention of officers to
the Importance of conforming their action
to the requirements of the department in
respect of military education.
1t is not the design of the War Depart
ment to give the study of theory precedence

of the army shall study their profession
diligently, and they will he required to do
failure in this respect will be re-
garded and treated neglect of duty.
Every officer is under the highest moral
obligation to his country to render himself
efficient an officer possible, and to
preserve himself from the mental. moral
and physical degeneration which inevitably
results from idleness. Although sys-
TEN of promotion by seniority relieves Off
GERS from the necessity of competing for
promotion, which rests upon the members
of other professions, they not freed
from the duty of unremitting effort, and a
recognition of that duty will be their title
to favorable consideration by their superior
officers whenever opportunities for distinc-
ton are possible or special advancement is
to be awarded"
