The sultan of Morocco, though only
% years old, is already quite portly.
Notwithstanding the opposition Of his
subjects, he persists in his quashi-Jap-
anese preference for everything that ia
foreign and ultramodern. Automobiles,
bicycles, photography, take up much
Of his time. He has formed band Of
over 100 musicians and has a piano,
which had to be transported from Lar
rash to Fee on the back Of camel. He
even prefers, 1t is said, the members Of
his harem imported from Constanti-
nople to the native beauties. His at
tempts to persuade his wives to wear
corsets and Partisan gowns have, how
ever, so far failed.

A MORTGAGE ON TIBET.
Britain's Treaty with the Isolated
Country Will Render 1t Helpless

London, Sept. 1.-THE Times Pekin
correspondent gives at great length
the text of the draft of the treaty be-
tween Tibet and Great Britain, which
has been sent to Pekin by the Chinese
representative at L'Hassa. The arti-
cles bind the Tibetans to establish mu-
tual trading between British and
Tibetan merchants; Tibet to pay an
indemnity of $2,5OO,0OO in yearly in
stallments. 1t is stipulated as secur-
ity for the performance of the condi-
tons of the treaty that British troops
shall occupy the Chumtsi valley for
three years and until the indemnity
is paid. One article provides that
without Great Britain's consent no
Tibetan territory shall be sold or leased
to any foreign power and no other
power shall be permitted to concern
itself with the affairs of Tibet or to
construct roads, railways or tele-
graphs or open mines in the country.

EMPHATIC FOR The ARMY CAyTEEB
Men MUST Have Places Of Amuse-

ciety That Debauches.

Denver, COL, Sept. 17.-Brig. Gen.
Frank D. Baldwin, commanding the
department of the Colorado, has for
warded his annual report to the sec.
rotary of war. The report says that
saloons and questionable resorts near
the barracks are responsible for the
large number of assertions from the
regular army In the department of the
Colorado. The total assertions dur
ing the year closing August IL were
1888. The report says: Those deser-
lions can be in large part attributed to
the malign influences of saloons and
brothels situated near the reservations,
seducing enlisted men from the paths
of decency. This is only another OF
the many arguments in favor of restor-
ing TO the army the canteen, which
provided places of amusement and So
cial intercourse where men could get
light refreshments under restraining,
decent and orderly influences. trust
the sale of beer and light wines, under
proper restrictions, may be again al-
thorized in the post exchanges. II men
are unable to get glass of beer In a
decent and orderly manner in the gar
rison, they will resort to the brothels
which cluster around the borders OF
the reservations, where they drink all
manner of alcoholic beverages and
often sink into debauchery and ruin"

EXPECT A VICTORY.
Cattlemen Fighting Against Higher
Freight Rates and Poor Service.
WANT TO co BACK SIX YEARS
Cnder the Old Car-LOt Tariff stock
shippers Allege They Had More
Accommodations for Much
Less Money.

Denver, COL, Sept. 1.-THE inter-
state commerce commission has con-
Guided a hearing into western live
stock rates which has been in progress
here for several days. The hearing
was at the instance of the cattle grow
ers' interstate executive committee,
representing all organized cattlemen.
Testimony was also taken In the Texas
cattle raisers' case against the south
western lines, alleging unreasonable
rates and poor service. The cattlemen
produced evidence to show that rates
were generally higher than they have
ever been and service very much worse
than when rates were lower. 1t was
shown that from Denver common
points and southwestern points to the
northwest rates were advanced, while
west Of the mountains rates were prac-
tically unchanged. The advance has
largely came about through a change
in the method Of charging from dol
lars per car to cents per hundred
pounds. The railroads practically ad-
NIT the poor service and promise
amendment. They admit the increase
in rates, but claim that rates have been
too low, that they provide special
service for live stock and are entitled
to more money. Stockmen Insist that
they get no such service, but the bulk
of the live stock is handled on freight
trains with dead freight Where spe-
cial service is given is where enough
stock is shipped to make a trainload,
and the railroads will do the same for
any other commodity providing sufti-
cient tonnage.
The commission decided to CONSOLE
date the two cases into the Texas cat
tie raisers' case and the railroads will
put in testimony at further hearing
to be held in Chicago about the middle
of November. There was large at
tendance of prominent railroad trafic
officials and some of the largest stock
raisers in the west were put on the
witness stand. Stockmen are confident
that they will ultimately get an order
from the commission putting back the
rates complained of to what they were
six years ago under the old car-lot rate
tariff. Should such an order issue,
stock shippers who have paid the ad-
vanced rate will be entitled to recover
many thousands of dollars thew bpvo

TAKE THIS WITH SALT.
MysteriOus Russian Statesman Pre-
diets That War VIII END Through
"Mutual Concessions"

London, Sept 1.-THE Daily Tele-
graphs st. Petersburg correspondent
declares that a Russian statesman,
whose name If revealed would wing his
utterance with lightning rapidity over
the globe, asserted Friday that 1t was
his impression that the war might end
sooner than people imagined, not
through mediation. but through mu-
tual recognition of the ruinous nature
Of the conflict which would lead to
negotiations that would result In q
Russo-Japanese alliance. He contend
ed, the correspondent says, that al
though Russia in the end could ex-
Saust and crush Japan, yet Japan could
hold out long enough to place an In
tolerable and useless strain upon Rus
STA Russia, therefore, was confronted
with the alternative Of either Japan's
ruin purchased by ruinous sacrifices
or Of q truce of cordial friendship, fol-
lowed in the fullness Of time BY that
offensive and defensive alliance which
for years constituted the ideal Of the
Japanese government.

NOT THE ONLY COUNTRY.
The United States II beginning to
Realize That There Are
Others.

Up to q few years ago we. the peopis
Of the United States, thought we had tn<
greatest country ON earth (which w
have), but we were % swollen BY a vair
and unjustifiable overestimation OF our
selves that we did not give proper credit
and consideration TO other people. say
the Kansas City Journal. We looked
upon ourselves as great beyond compar'
ison in the exploits Of war and the
pursuits Of peace, and nothing quite sc
much tickled our vanity and concei'
as to sit and listen by the hour to
politicians making the eagle scream
and extolling our achievements an sucf
as never had been and never could be
rivaled in the world.
But a very meritorious change has
come over us. We have begun to ex-
anime and compare ourselves with other
people, and we take no offense when we
find that what we have done has been
equaled and sometimes surpassed by
the deeds of quieter and less boastful
nations.
Japan has done in 30 years many
things which It took US 200 years to
do. Russia has constructed railroads

WHEN STAMPS WERE NEW.
Postmasters Had Trouble in Getting
People to Stick Them on
the Envelope.

when postage stamps first came
into use," said veteran postal clerk
"the public didn't know how to handle
them" relates the Galveston Tribune
"You remember how, when tea and
coffee first appeared among us. the peo-
pie fried the tea leaves and the coffee
berries and served them with salt and
pepper? Well, the people treated their
stamps as absurdly in 1854.
Some folks would put the stamps
inside their letters, out of sight. Here
is the official notice that we issued to
stop that practice"
The clerk took from the drawer an
aged bulletin that said
"The stamps upon all letters and pack
ages must be affixed on the OUTSIDE
thereof, and above the address thereon"
He put back this bulletin and drew
forth another one.
People would pin the stamps on
their letters, instead of cumming them, "
he said, land when they did gum them
they would not do 1t right. Hence this
second bulletin" and he read:
"'Persons posting letters should af-
fix the requisite number of stamps previ-
GUS to depositing them in the letter re-
ceivers, as when posted in damp state
the stamps are liable to rub off and
thereby cause the letters to be treated
as unpaid. Do not pin on the stamps
"Still," said the clerk, "the public
didn't understand. Think of TIT
didn't understand the simple matter of
sticking postage stamp on letter. So
we got out third bulletin"
The third bulletin, in big, impatient
letters, said:
1.-THE simplest and most effectual
method of causing stamps to adhere
firmly is, first to moisten well the out
side of the stamps and afterward the
gummed side slightly, taking care not
to remove the gum"
The clerk said that philatelist had
offered him $12 apiece for these three
queer bulletins.
