ROLE OF UNITED STATES
IN PROTECTING CHINA
Diplomats Cnvious About This Country
in Sending Squadron Into
Oriental Waters.

] How far win the United States go IN
its effort to preserve the neutrality and
INTEGRITY of China?
| Diplomats are anxiously making this
inquiry since the announcement that
Secretary Hay has written notes to
| Russia ana japan offering the good Of
! fees Of the United States to effect the
neutrality of Chine and to limit the
sphere of the war between Japan and
Russia.
! Answers have been received from 9TH
er neutral nations to which the State
/ Department appealed for concurrent ac-
ton in keeping. the war within linn
tied bounds These are known to be
favorable.
Replies Awaited.
No attempt has been made yet to da-
fine the exact limits within which hos
tilities will be confined, and this will
probably be done as soon as replies have
been received by Secretary Hay from
Japan and Russia.
proclamation of neutrality on the
part of the United States has not been
issued as yet. The question OF neutral
ity was discussed at yesterdays Cabi-
net meeting but no decision was reach
ed as to when neutrality shall be pro-
claimed. In fact, 1t was said by a MEM
her Ct the Cabinet after yesterdays
meeting that n proclamation OF neutral
ity is not necessary until the CONNER
cial interests Of this country are af-
fected. and may be delayed indefinitely.
1t was intimated several weeks ago
! by prominent Government officials tlp Z
proclamatio of neutrality would be
issued as soon as war actually began be-
tween Russia and Japan. Now that
hOstilties are on. however, the Admin
istration does not adhere TO what was
supposed to be its original plan.
Naval Etiquette.
The Navy Department has, explained
with great care that the cruiser squad

ordered into Chinese waters. will not g.
anywhere near the scene of the fighting

In some parts of China the natives
are In dread of the bloom of the bam
boo, at which season all kinds of dread
full disasters are predicted and conf
IDENTITY looked for. Like some other
superstitions, this one has a slight
foundation. The fact is that the bam-
boo only flowers once and then dies.
and as rule the whole lot Of plants,
often covering large areas, bloom to-
gether. The reason of this is that the
individuals of species are commonly
gregarious and all are Of the same age,
having taken simultaneous possession
of ground rendered vacant perhaps by
a similar depopulation. A somewhat
analogous case is presented by some
of the strobilanths of tropical Asia.
These plants live about seven years,
then all burst out into glorious mass
of blue flowers and then die away,
leaving, it may be, hundreds of acres
of ground destitute of the luxuriant
vegetation it previously supported.

Deer and horses rank next to bears
in swimming powers. Deer swim
rapidly and gracefully, and it is not
uncommon for them to cover Il dis
lance of ten or even fifteen miles in
the water. Horses are powerful swim
mers and have none of the aversion
toward entering the water which is
often shown even by animals which
can swim we'll when forced to. a
number of horses that were pastured
on the American side of the Niagara
river once swan in company across
this broad stream in order TO return
to their old stables. 1t may be useful
to know that in crossing body of
water with horse the best method,
If the horse is expected to swim any
considerable distance, is to slide over
his back, hold the animal lightly by
the tail and allow it to tow you across
This relieves the horse of the weight
of the body and enables him to swim
faster and much farther than other
wise would be the case.

the close Of the late session of congress,
at the request of friends and perhaps
others, I gave out an interview on this
subject. This was done after full con-

which stated iH substance that / con-
