WHAT OF TH|BET2

plies John Bull to
Uncle Sam.
(By the Associated Press.)

London, July 6.-The Associated
Press learns from a high British
source that exchanges of views are
taking place between America AID
Great Britain with respect to Thib~<.
Being a dependency of China the
fate OF Thibet is of considerable in2~
portance especially to Americans, nos
because Americans have any interests
of value in that country but because
its acquisition by any power WOULD
mean a violation of the principle az
the integrity of China which is the
keynote of Secretary Hays Far East
ern policy, to which Great Britain
has given adherence. Mr.. Hay.
therefore, has watched with the clos
est attention the British treatment Oh
the Thibetan question and it is be>
lieved through Ambassador Choate
has delicately presented the possible
bearing of the British military proce-
dure on Chinese integrity.
1t is understood that the British
government frankly disavoWed any
Interior purpose regarding Thibetan
territory, reiterating that it has no
intention of permanently occupying
Thibet, and that Great Britain's mo.
tives are those already proclaimed to
the whole world. In view of this dec
laration the British government an
nounced that Brigadier General Mac
Dona4d'S expedition was expected TO
retire as soon as the purposes for
which it was organized have been
achieved.

MOORE SUES FOR $4,000.
For Possession Of Mountain Park
Hotel and Alleged False Arrest.
fSnncinI 70 Nn1uS and Ohaarua,

Asheville, n. c., July &c. 3.
Moore, proprietor of Kenilworth Inn
of this city, and until recently of the
Mountain Park Hotel at Hot Springs
has brought suit against j. G. Rum
bough and other members of the
Rumbough family for $4,000 dam
ages and also a suit in the sum of
$40 600 for false arrest. 1t is said
that the Rumboughs, who own the
Mountain Park, had brought suit
against Mr.. Moore for possession of
the hotel, but before this suit could
be tried and while Mr.. Moore was in
the North, went to Hot Springs and
took possession. 1t is also charged
that when Mr.. Moore returned aud
attempted to enter the hotel he was
ordered off the premises and was
later arrested without a warrant. The
suits will be tried before Judge Prit-
chard in the United States Circuit
court, and will come up at the fall
term. In the meantime MI. Rum
bough is in possession.

MOUNTAIN OUT OF MoLEHILL.
The Attack on Foreigners by the Hal
tien Palace Guard in New Phase.
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, July 6.-Mr. Leger, the
Haitien minister here. has made an
explanation of the recent internation-
al episode at Port Au Prince, inVolv-
ing an attack on the French and Ger
man ministers and the presence of
Warships in consequence to procure
reparation, which throws an entirely
different light on the affair, depriving
it of any such anti7foreign animus
as was at first attributed to it.
The minister's advices, just received
from Hayti show that the incident
occurred as follows:
Before the executive mansion at
Port Au Prince there is a road which
is closed after dark to all pedestrians
and carriages. On the evening of the
21st of June two carriages were seen
on that road. 1t was dark, the sentry
could not see the occupants of the
carriages and could not then know
if they were foreigners or natives.
The coachman, not hearing or not
taking any notice of the warming OF
the sentry, the latter, to avoid using
his rifle, thought fit to throw a stone
in the direction of the carriages.
When, the next morning the report
was made that the occupants of the
carriages were the French and Ger
man ministers, the officers of he
guard and the sentry were punished,
and the Secretary for Exterior reIa-
tons called at both legations 10 ex-
press regret and apologize in the name
of the government.
Minister Powell has since reported
to the State Department that the incl
dent has been satisfactory closed.

Loyalty to the MikadO.

1t is tolerably certain that bu, for
the generation in which the emperor is
held, Japan would long ago have been
at war with Russia, or there would
have been a revolution in the couu-
try. Happily, the intense patriotism
of the people is kept in check by a
reverence for the ruling sovereign
which it is scarcely possible for the
western mind to understand. The jar
anese people are not religious in a
conventional sense. Their religion
takes the form of childlike belief in
the "son of heaven" If the mikado
were to issue a decree tomorrow that
all the Russian demands should be con-
coded, the nation would acquiesce
though many would commit suicide,
just as happened when Japan was
robbed of the fruits of her victory over
China.-L0ndon Chronicle.

THE UNHEALTHY TRADES.
Fatalities of the Various Callings and
Observation-Disclosures
Most Common.

For centuries the tailor has been the
subject of jesting pity because his trade
was supposed to make him physically
weak, while the stonecutter has been
usually represented as the image of
strength. So sailors and miners are
supposed to follow dangerous trades, as
indeed they do, says the Chicago Inter
Ocean, if the chances of external injury
alone be considered, while bookkeepers
and statesmen are supposed to be in lit
tie danger from their occupations.
Disease, however, kills scores where
accidents kill one, and of all diseases
consumption kills the most adults. And
with regard to deaths from consump-
ton life insurance expert has recently
prepared chart, from official mortality
returns, which upsets many popular no.
lions as to the relative healthfulness or
unhealthfulness of various trades. 1T
covers 80 leading trades, and shows
the percentages of deaths from con-
sumption to deaths from all causes of
workers in each.
In the middle stand the painters and
gr0cers, with percentages of 234 and
24.2 From grocers the figures rise
through liquor dealers, molders, long
shoremen, potters, cigar-makers, silk
workers, hatters. statesmen, plumbers,
bookkeepers, brassworkers, glasswork-
ers, printers, and stOneworkers, of
whom 45.1 per cent die Of consump-
ton.
From painters the figures go down
through brewers, bakers, policemen,
weavers, iron and steel workers, ma
blacksmiths, merchants, sailors, brake
men and miners, of whom only GA per
cent die of consumption.
1t is certainly something of a sur
prise to learn that the most widely fatal
of maladies is less likely to kill the pro-
verbally weak tailor than the proven
bially strong butcher, and that sailors.
who must endure the most sudden and
violent changes of temperature, are less
subject to consumption than printers,
who can hardly work at all except in q
reasonably even temperature.
In this connection it is interesting to
note that large employers of labor are
being convinced with increasing ease
and rapidity that provision of clean,
we'll ventilated, and properly heated and
lighted shops is an investment that paws
good dividends by increasing the con-
tentment and preserving the health OF
their employees, and that in this manner
"a mortality IF h4
trades may be sensibly diminished.

BEFORE THE START.

Stay, you that proudly plan to dare
And you that seek to do:
Before you hurry forth to try
TO proudly plant your standard high,
An honest word with you.
Who seeks to raise himself above
The level of the crowd
Must drag through many slough Of woe
And suffer many binding blow
And oft sit humbly bowed.
For every little gain he makes
Who tries to take the lead
A hundred disappointments leave
Their impress on him; to achieve
The heart must often bleed.
Stay you that plan to gain renown
Or play a splendid part:
Ten thousand sore discouragements
Upon your heart shall leave their dents
Before you get a start.

MAYA CADETS q JAPAN.
Certain Mental, Physical and F1nan-
cial Qualifications Are De- y
manded of Them. =

Japans system of selecting naval
cadets is altogether unlike the Amer
lean system of appointment by con-
gressmen. If Japanese boy wishes
to become naval cadet he must first
graduate from the public schools. Then
he must pay his own expenses at a
naval preparatory school. These ex-
penses are equivalent, in American
money, to about six dollars a month.
Having graduated from the prepare
tory school, says Teiichi Yamagata's
"A Japanese Mildly in st. Nicholas,
he forthwith enters the naval college,
and from that time on his expenses
are borne by the government. Any
Japanese boy who has the necessary
mental, physical and financial quail
fications can thus become a naval ca
det
1t was very proud moment for the
writer, you may be sure, when he first
donned the uniform of the Kanda
school and became one of the four
hundred students there. The uniform
was plain, consisting of a simple blue
jacket with single row of brass but
tons, plain blue trousers and naval
cap of English pattern.
Our arms we're not calculated to
strike terror to even the most timid
heart, since they were nothing but
mock wooden guns. Yet we boys must
have fancied that the martial spirit
of the old:time sumurai dwelt in those
harmless make-believe muskets, for it
would have been difficult indeed to
find fiercer looking lot of youthful
warriors than we were at drill.
What did we study? First Of all
the Japanese and Chinese languages,
delving a little into the classics of
both. Then we. were obliged to write
compositions in Japanese and Chinese,
and disliked the task just as heartily
as American boys do their English and
Latin compositions. We were taught
English also, and compositions in that
language were added to our other tor
lures. Arithmetic, algebra, short
course in japanese history, short
course in geography and free-hand
drawing, including map work-surely
this was enough for boys of 13 or IA
years of age! l feel sure that all of
my young American readers will
agree with me on this point. Elemen-
tary military drill and instruction in
rowing were elective branches; but
there were few boys who did not take
them up.
Five days and a half every week
were devoted to these studies. The
discipline was not unnecessarily
strict, and on the whole our life was
even jollier than American boarding
school life. We were fun-loving lot
of boys, and many were the FRANKS we
played upon each other. Even our in
structors did not always escape. But
''hazing," as the term is understood
in this country, is unknown to Japan
csc students.
