BEGGARS OF THE WORLD,

Wherever there are men there are
0eggars. Every nation has it's n,endi-
cants, and, although some people hold
them to scorn, there are others who
venerate them and recognize their
business as legitimate.
Strangely, the greatest nation of
beggars in the world adjoins that
which has, perhaps, the smallest, or
one of the smallest, percentages OF
beggars-and these countries are
Italy and Switzerland.
That beggary is result of indol-
ence is shown by the fact that the peo-
pie of every warm climate are over
run with mendicants. Egypt India.
and Italy are the worst examples.
Among civilized nations heggary has
taken on form of criminality The
professional beggar begs, not for want
or privation. He has reduced his
whines for help to a fine art which
yields riches in many cases.
Werever charity and pity exist there
will be found beggary. The people
with whom the fight for existence is
bitter and productive of selfishness
have few who beg, while wealth and
luxury breed hordes OF parasites who
su5sist upon the kindness of those
who have to give.
The most picturesque beggar in the
world, perhaps. holds 4 place of power
and big "pull" at Loong Wah, in
China. Covered from head to foot
with rags, this man controls the beg
gar industry of province and has
scores of others working for him.
Blindness draws more pity than
anything else, annd most of the beg
gars of Cuba and Porto Rico eitht~
are blind or feign blindness.
The Egyptian beggar often is pat
riarch, possessed of money, grown ol I
and distinguished in plying his trada.
Beggary in Egypt is the greatest
trade, especially along the Nile, where
tourists frequently are forced to use
whips or clubs. or hire guides to use
them, to drive away the swarms of
mendicants, who even swim out to
the boats to beg.
Beggary in Siam has drawn the at
tentiOn of artists to the picturesque
features. These travellers are as
roaming in instinct as American
tramps and wander all over the
country, being admitted as guests to
almost any household

EARLY RAILWAY ADVERTISING.

MORE RIOTING IN LODI.
Troops Shoot Down Many Strikers
in Russian Poland City-Martial
Law Will Be Declared.

A dispatch from LodZ, Russian Po-
and, uader date Of June %, is as fol-
lows: "Since early this morning this
:;ty has been in a state OF panic.
ine strike is general and all the fac
tories and shops are closed. Barn..
LADIES' have been erected at many
points. Rifle volTeys and revolver
,nots are heard continually. Many
persons have been killed or wounded.
out it is impossible at present to as
certain the number with any exacti.
sude, owing to the general character
Of the disturbances. The mob sacked
4 nus Der Of liquor stores and broke
street lamps. Street railroad traffic
is interrupted"
A later dispatch says: Troops have
stormed the barricades erected in the
principal streets by the strikers. Fifty
persons have been killed and two hun
dred wounded. Martial law will be
declared"
According to advices received in st.
Petersburg the situation in Poland is
again exceedingly serious. Censored
dispatches from Lodz, though, giving
few details, indicate that fierce street
fighting was in progress Thursday be.
tween the military and the striking
workmen, who baricaded the thor
oughfares in various quarters Of the
city and offered resistance, which the
troops met with volleys. The list Of
dead and wounded presumably is
heavy, but not even an estimate has
yet been received, Russian CORE
spondents telegraphing that the
streets are entirely in the hands OF
the military and the mob, and tha-
it is unsafe to venture out to obtain
details.
Lodz has been in turmoil for sew
eral days. The strike, which en-
braces 10000 workers, appears to have
entirely lost it's economic nature, ana
is now vast political manifestation.
All forms Of public business activity
have been suspended, the peaceful In.
habitaants remaining indoors In fear
of their lives. The political zeal Of
the manifestants has become inHamed
by intoxicaIts from the vodka shops,
which were broken into and pillaged.
At Warsaw a strike has commenced
and disorders are looked for and the
trial of Okrjey, who threw q bomb
at police station March rs, will prob
ably result in other bomb outrages.
A man was arrested Thursday morn.
ing, armed with bomb, which was
evidently intended to be used in court
during the trial.

INDIAN OFFICIALS INDICTED.
It is Alleged They Are Concerned In

or johnson Of the Chicxasaw nation;
United States Marshal Colbert, Bank

McMurray and Cornish and others
have been indicted for re-issuing
school and general fund warrants OF
the Chickasaw Iation.
The school warrants were issued
in lieu of immediate payments for va.
rious educational purposes. A consid'
erable amount Of these had accumulat-
ed, and congress at it's last session
appropriated $s30,0Oo Of the Chicka.

terror department is that so far as is
now known about $4,000 Of these

MOVE TO PACIFY CHINA.
President Issues Order Which,, He
Hopes, Will Have Deterrent Effect
On Growing Boycott.

By direction of President Roose-
Welt, action has been taken by the ad-
m;n;strat!on which not only will IA
cilitate the landing in this country
o. Chinese of the exempt ciISses, but
will also eliminate from the e;nigra-
ton bureau such administrative fea-
tares as have been the subject OF crit
icism by Chinese. Ii IS the declared
intention of the president to See taat
Chinese merchants, travellers, students
and others of the exempt classes shall
have the same courtesy shown them
by officers Of the emigration bureau
as is accorded to citizens of the most
favored nation.
Representations have been made to
the president that in view of the
harsh treatment accorded to many
Chinese seeking a landing in the
United States, the commercial guilds
of China have determined to insti-
tute boycott on American manufac-
lures. The representations, backed by
the authority of the American-Asiatic
Society and commercial bodies
throughout the country, induced the
president to make an investigation Of
the situation.
AS a result Of the inquiry orders
have been issued to the diplomatic and
consular representatives in China by
the president himself that they must
look closely to the performance OF
their duties under the exclusion law,
and see to it that the men Of the
exempt classes coming to this country
are provided with proper certifcation.
These certificates will be accepted at
any port Of the United States and will
guarantee the bearer against any
harsh Or discourteous treatment. Such
treatment, indeed, will be the cause
of the immediate dismissaI Of the Of
Tending official, whoever he may be.
In addition to the presidents Or
ders, Secretary Metcalf issued instruc.
ton tc the immigration officers. It
is expected that the prompt action
taken by the government to meet the
objections made by China will elimi.
nate a possibility of a serious trade
difficulty letween China and the
manufacturers Of this country.
The text of the official correspond
ence and orders On the subject was
made public Sunday by authority of
the president. The orders to the dip
lomatic and consular officers of this
country in China were transmitted
through the state department.
A certificate vised by diplomatic
or consular representative becomes
prima facie evidence of the facts Sc;
therein. The immigration officials
have been specifically instructed to &C.
cept this certificate which is not to
be rejected unless good reason can
be shown for so doing. Unfortunately
IN the past it has been found that
officials of the Chinese government
have recklessly issued thousands Of
such certificates, which were not true;
and reckiessness also has been shown
in the past by representatives of the
American consular service in vising
certificates. The diplomatic and con.
sular officers must not issue a certifi-
cate unless they are satisfied that the
person to whom it is issued is enti.
tied to receive it, and they, will be
held to the most rigid accountability
for the manner in which they perform
this duty.

PEACE SEEMS ASSURED.
Both Russia and Japan Tentatively
Name Their Principal Represen-
tatives 20 Conference.

A Washington special says: Russia
has gwen reassur2nces OF its ilteI-
tons in ;he peace negotiations by piac-
ing President Roosevelt in posses
sion OF the tentative selection OF hec
plenipotentiaTies as follows:
VI. Nelidof, the Russian amGassa-
dor at Paris, and Baron Rcsen, the
re/ly appointed Russian ambassador
at Washington.
Russia, thus having taken the ini-
tiative, it is believed that Mr.. Taxa
hira, the japanese minister, during his
call at the white house Monday, in
formally told the president that ia
pans selections, also tentative, were
Baron Komura, the Japanese minis
ter for foreign affairs, and Kogoro
Takahira, the Japanese minister at
Washington.
Official announcement Of the names
of the plenipotertiaries is withheld
health may not permit him to make
the trip, and pressure of official work
may necessitate the presence in To-
kio of Baron Komura. MIR. Takahira
and Baron Eosef are regarded as the
certainties and the belief is that un-
less something unforeseen should oc-
cur, both Russia and Japan will con-
sent to the official announcement OF
the personnel of the Washington con-
ference within a few days.
In any event, both missions will
consist of many advisors, including
ny and possibly naval officers, and
cials from the foreign offices in
Toxic and st. Petersburg. 1t is ex-
pected that altogether each mission
may number ten or twelve. Should
six plenipotentiaries be chosen, both
Russia and Japan, it is learned, have
names under consideration, which will
enable them to announce their third
plenipotentiaries without delay.
As to an Armistiee.
Interest regarding an armistice has
largely diminished in the last few
days because Of the receipt of infor-
nation that the rainy season is begin
ming in Manchuria It is believed in
Washington that this will serve the
purpose Of an armist.ce in preventing
a clash before the convening in Au-
gust.
Moreover, the unofficial soundings
initiated by the president at Toxic
and st. Petersburg did not yield much
hope for successful negotiations look
ing to an armistice until after the
plenipotentiaries meet. If Japan is
then convinced of the serious desire
of Russia for peace. she will readily
consent to an armistice.
The president has expressed a wish
to the Japanese and Russian govern
ments that the plenipotentiaries meet
in the United States on August /, and
if not on that date, then at the earl,-
T. est date thereafter The following
statement regarding the meeting OF
the plenipotentiaries was made pub
iic at the white house Monday:
"The president has received from
both the Russian and Japanese gov
crnments the statements that the
plenipotentiar;es of the two countries
will meet in the United States dur.
ing the first ten days Of August.
and the PRESIDENT has expressed to
both governments that the meeting
should take place if possible on the
fst Of August and II not on that date
hen at the earliest date thereafter" :"

COUNT LAMsDoRFF IS ILL.

Consequently Roosevelt Has Not
Heard from His Latest Note.
President Roosevelt so far has not
received an answer from Russia to
his latest representations regarding
peace. It is believed tha tthe illness
Of Count Lamsdortf may account for
this delay. While there is no off,
cial announcement on the subject the
general understanding is that these
representations concern an armistice.
