The case Of the $1,000, 100000 pay
ment by France to Prussia, after the
war Of 1870, is familiar. France issued
bonds for the amount, offered them to
her own people, who forthwith sold
their investments In foreign securities
and subscribed for the new "rentes."
This French liquidation Of other bonds
came at the moment when London, and
Berlin itself, were also trying to buy
the new French rentes. The odd result
was that those two money markets
suffered the consequent depression
more than Paris. Something like this
is possible II Paris agrees to finance the
indemnity this year for Russia
1t is often asked, cannot Russia meet
the indemnity from her home reserves?
She possesses, 1t Is true, $500.000,oo0 to
$500. 100000 in her home gold reserve
and her European credit balances; but
a note circulation Of 00.000,000 stands
against It. Russia would certainly hes
itate to denude herself Of her coin cir
culation. That plan was tried with
China, after the Boxer outbreak Of 1900,
and with bad results. The powers fix
ed, as the terms for Withdrawing their
armies from Pekin. Q money penalty

In gold, in thirty-nine annual install
ments after 1901. All Of China's Gus
toms revenue unpledged in former
loans was devoted to this purpose.
China fioated no new loans; she sent
out to gather up her silver curren-
cy, sold It and bought with the pro-
ceeds sterling drafts to pay the pow
ers. Within a year Europe's Oriental
trade was so badly deranged by the
consequent break In silver that the
whole plan had to be revised.-New

A BILLION DOLLAR INDEMNITY,
Who Will Raise the Money For Rus
sia, and How.


II $1,000, 100000. or half that sum. Is
imposed by Japan as the terms of
peace with Russia, where will the
stupendous sum be raised? The ques-
ton would have baff1ed conjecture half
century ago; 1t Is easily answered
now. China in 1895. after the Japanese
war, was worse off financially than
Russia Is today Most of her revenues
were pledged in part already against
earlier loans. and Japan demanded
$40, ,OO0,0 indemnity. This Is what
followed, as told by the London Ecor =
omist. that year:
Great financial houses are scramb-
ling and intriguing for the purpose OF
acting as China's agents for the issue
OF new loans, and something even of
international rivalry Is introduced into
competition. And the Chinese govern
r,e mt. entering into the spirit of the
thing, are acting as IL, in consentinS TO
borrow, they were comforting special
lavor upon the lenders. lf Paris and
st. Petersburg are permitted to lend
e 20, 100000, then, as a consolation to
London and Berlin, they are being
given an opportunity Of lending anoth-
of 915,OOO.OOO."
In the end the Russian government
actually lent China its endorsement on
f16, ,OOO, ,OOO-a real stroke Of political
humor, considering what has happened
since.

sELApANe SHOOTING.
A Sport That Calls For All Of the
Hunters Skill and Nerve.

Called bison Incorrectly in India,
seladang in Malaga, slang In Burma
and gnudang in Siam, the gaur (Bos
gaurus) is the largest and fiercest OF
all the wild cattle with hoofs small
In proportion to its height and Of deer
like rather than oNlike character. Its
sense of smell Is as acute as that OF
the elephant and it's vision much
keener. When you seek one Of these
cattle you need all your hunters skill
and your nerve, for next to the ele-
phant and bracketed with the Cape
buffalo of Africa I believe its natural
temperament and the character OF
country In which II Is found make the
seladang In the Malay peninsula the
most formidable quarry on earth.
In India, where the range Of the
gaur Is the hilly, wooded districts,
they are more apt to be found In herds
of some size and. because Of the more
open sections, less difflcult OF approach
and less dangerous to the hunter than
In the Malay peninsula, where the jun
gle ia the densest that grows, and al
most invariably the quarry has the
man at a disadvantage. In Malay 1t
is snap shooting, where the game on
being wounded turns hunter, and con-
cealed. awaits the sportsman. who
must approach with infinite caution
with senses always alert and hand
ever ready II he would stop or turn
aside the vicious charge. You may
never in this jungle survey the feid
OF operations from some vantage
point, but In the close growing angle OF
vines and canes and thorn bushes and
heavy coarse weed Of grasslike mass
through which you can never get even
dim sight for over twenty yards ana
most Of the time can scarcely see that
many feet ahead, you must follow the
tracks of the seladang you have
wounded, never knowing at what In
slant the maddened beast may burst
from the jungle practically right on top
of you. One seladang was fortunate
enough to finally get was only just al
the other side Of bamboo clump when
he started his charge full at me. THIS
is the dangerous and the unavoidable
feature OF hunting the beast In Malay.
Luckily for the hunter, the seladang,

EXCLUSION OF JAPANESE.
Americans Should Think Twice Before
Adopting Policy.

Americans Should Think Twice Before
Adopting Policy.
We note with apprehension that on
the Pacific coast-of all parts Of the
land-there Is a small but perceptible
attempt at agitation for the application
to the Japanese Of the outrageous
treatment we have accorded to the
Chinese. 1t has almost exactly the
same basis, jealousy and fear OF race
which Is very efficient, pretty numer-
Gus, always saving and willing, espe-
cially at first to work for low wages
or low profits Stories are current OF
farming industries embarrassed by the
refusal Of natives to work with the
Japanese and of organized efforts to
boycott the employers or patrons OF
Japanese. If the movement takes
shape In the elections there Is some
reason to fear that it may produce ex-
tremely disagreeable results.
Probably few Of our readers UNDER
! stand completely how far our anti
Chinese policy has gone or to what
ridiculous and shameful denials OF the
principles of common justice and OF
what we have been used to regard as
fundamental constitutional guarantees
of freedom we have been committed by
our legislators and our courts. In the
current number Of the Independent so
conservative a statesman as Mr.. John
Will
recent decision of the supreme court
as to the exclusion Of a native Ameri-
can, born Of Chinese parents, who was
refused admission to the United States
at San Francisco by the immigration
officer on the ground that he was
Chinaman seeking to unlawfully enter
the country. The fact of his birth In
the United States was not disputed.
A writ Of habeas corpus was issued to
him by the district court Of the United
States on this specific ground. But
the supreme court decided that the
Judgment of the immigration officer
was final under the law Of August IL,
1894, and could not be reviewed through
the courts. The further fact that the
Judgment of the officer contravened the
provision of the constitution guaran-
teeing the citizens Of the United States
trial by jury and the security Of per-
son unless deprived Of 1t by due process
of law was considered by the supreme
court as of no weight. The blunder of
the officer, the possibly corrupt decis-
ion reached by him. Is more completely
the supreme law of the land than Is
the constitution Of the United States.
Now, 1t is bad enough In all con.
science to enforce such wicked and
atrociously unfair rules against ma
tion like the Chinese, who are practi-
cally helpless, or have seemed so un-
til recently. But 1t will be a very DIFF
ferent matter to undertake like treat
ment Of Japanese, a people marked by
keen sense of self-respect and with
a government quite willing and quite
able to defend their claims to justice
and a decent consideration. Ameri-
cans who look to the revival or the
sand lots" movement directed against
the Japanese would do we'll to think
twice of their project.-New YORK

LEGENDARY DEVICES.
How Strange Animals Appeared In
: HsraIdry In Old Days.

Horaldry IN Old Days.
Early writer's on natural history sub
jects make mention Of many strange
creatures that never could have exist
ed save in the superstitious mind Of
the age In which they wrote, and Of
the many that did exist the accounts
Of their structure and habits are so
ludicrous that one may really wonder
II 1t was possible, even In the middle
ages, that people could be 30 credulous.
Many of these strangely garbled rec
ords of the animal world were, no
doubt, due to travellers tales and prob
ably had a certain foundation in fact
but II Is difficult indeed to account for
the creation Of such things a. the phoe-
nix. the cockatrice, the wyvem, the
griffin and the dragon. The belief In
tho existence Of the unicorn may have
originated from the fact Of some Of
the early African travellers meeting with
certain antelopes that had ost q horn,
for It is a popularity with most ante
lopes that their horns are never shed
and II injured or broken never grow
again.
The horn. growing out Of the fore
head, betwixt the eyelids. IL neither
light nor hollow nor yet smooth like
other horns. but hard as iron,. rough as
any file. revolved into many plights;
sharper than any dart, straight and
not crooked and everywhere black, ex-
cept at the point.
Bartholomew asserted that there
were many varieties OF unicorn, and
this would be feasible II this creature
had been created from those horned
beasts that had accidentally lost one
of the horns.
How the phoenix was called into be-
ing It would be impossible to hazard Q
guess. 1t was popularity supposed that
there was only one such creature ex-
listing In the whole universe ana that
there was only one tree In which It
built it's nest. We find mention Of the
phoenix as fa- back as Pliny, who
says. "Howbeit, cannot tell what to
make Of him; and, first Of all, whether
1t be tale or no. that Is never but one
Of them In the whole world, and the
same not commonly seeii."
In the fifteenth century we find Bar
tholomew writing Of this imaginary
bird:
Phoenix is large bird, and there is
but one that kind In all the wide world,
therefore lewd men wonder thereof.
Phoenix Is bird without make (nnate)
and liveth 500 or 500 years. When
the which years be passed she feeleth
her default and feebleness and maketh
nest of sweet smelling sticks that be
full dry, and In summer when the
western wind bloweth the sticks and
the nest be set on fire with burning
heat of the sun and burneth strongly"
The bird then allows itself to be re-
duced to ashes in this fire-on this
point all the writer's agree-and In due
course rises again from the ashes In
the full glory Of renewed youth "and
is the most fairest bird that II, most
like to the peacock In feathers. and
loveth wilderness and gathereth his
meat Of clean green's and fruits"
The basilisk or cockatrice, was re-
puted to be some strange mixture Of q
bird and serpent, able to slay with his
breath and his sight, which power was
accredited by some to dragons.-West-
minister Gazette
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1905-06-30

Mr.. Harlan lifted paper-knife from
the table, tried its edge absent-mind-
.edly, and then sat silent, bending the
blade back and forth between his
fingers. McMannis watched him with
broad grin on his shiny face, but
spoke no word.
What Is your job?"
The question was sullen and disdain-
full.
"A snap-a soft snap. Chief OF tho
walking delegates you might call IT,
though it's known as assistant high
workman. Say, but that's good liquor,
Josh! Funny such good hand at
buying it don't have no real taste for
It. And since you press me so cor
dial, Josh. | guess I'll take one more
teaspoonfu'."
He poured out another deep drink,
and gulped 1t down with a heres
howl" and a shuddering exhalation OF
breath like a man in bitter-cold
wind. Then he rubbed his hands to-
gether struck a match on his trouser
leg. started to relight his cigar, but
burst out laughing as he noted Har-
lan's bored and contemptuous glance.
Say, what's the matter with you,
JOSH" he exclaimed. you're as huffy
as hell, and look as glum as Dolan's
goat when she swallered the tin-can
crossways. Take drink. Have one
on me, and stop chewing the rag for
five minutes anyhow. Gosh, but you
do look silly!"
McMannis broke into another spasm
Of merriment, Quieted down, wiped his
eyes, and then glancing at Mr.. Har-
lan's solemn, unmoved countenance.
burst forth again into peal upon peal
of laughter, until the tears ran down
his face and he had to seat himself
for very weakness.
What Is the-er-the chief Of walk
ing delegates expected to do?'
The question was asked contemptu-
ously and with weary Indifference, but
McMannis In his social mood welcomed
it eagerly.
What does he do?" he responded,
jocularly. What won't he do when
I'm It? That's the question to ask.
Josh Harlan. I've been waiting for
chance like this for years, and now
I've got it, I'll work 1t, you bet. Say,
do you know how many men's-how
many men there are in our associa-
tion?"
Mr.. Harlan shook his head.
We'll, I'll tell you" McMannis drew
his chair closer to his host and leaned
forward confidentially, pouring out an
other drink of whisky as he talked.
"Thersh-there's more than $4,000 in
1t, and not more than ten or a dozen
ahead Of me. Now d ye see where
I'm at? Maybe you think the organ
ization won't take care Of me now?
Maybe won't control bunch OF votes

the market value of 'em. neither.
They thought they'd stall me at Phil
adelphia for up the state-but not
much! New York city's my mound,
and I'm here to stay"
He paused to swallow another
drink, and then proceeded in an uglier
tone, mis- language coarsening as his
tongue loosened.
"Yes, and I'm goin' to make some
Of these companies set up and count,

NO PCULTIcEs FOR SOLDIERS.
Revolutionary Decision Made by Army
Physicians.

Linseed and linseed meal have been
dropped from army medicines. and
the army physicians have been noti-
fed that it is the opinion of the sur
eeon generals Office that poultices
have no place in modern therapeutics,
all the good results obtainable from
them being got in a much more clean
ly way by hot wet congresses.
The prohibition of the time-honored
linseed meal, the best material for
poulrlces, seems to interfere with a
method practiced by large number
of physicians, who would be inclined
to testify that without it our soldiers
would not receive the best care.
There is surely much to be said on
both sides. The psychological effect
at least of poultice is entirely too
great for successful family physi-
clan to ignore, and why deprive the
soldier of this old fashioned comfort
