lomats. At the time of the boxer out
break in China he was successful in
obtaining justice for the Chinese and
preserving the integrity Of China.
In 1899 he directed the United States
ambassadors at London, Berlin, st. Pc.
tersburg and Paris, to propose that
each Of these governments make dec
laration of the "open door, policy in
China. They were invited to give as
surances, first, that there would be no
Interference with. any treaty port OF
vested interest; second, that the exist
ing Chinese customs tariff would be
continued without discrimination and
administered by Chinese officials; third,
that there would be no discrimination
in the harbor dues and railroad rates.
Italy and Japan were afterward in
cluded in the negotiations. No treaties
were exchanged, but all the govern
ments approached pledged themselves
by definite promise to the "open door,
policy.
He aslo negotiated the Hay Paunoe-
fote treaty, and several reciprocity
treaties, including one with Cuba;
gave support to The Hague conference,
and induced the powers demanding in
demnity from Venezuela to refer the
question to The Hague tribunal; and,
in 1908, signed within 48 hours Of each
other treaty with the Colombian gov

Panama canal and q treaty with Great
Britain providing for the submission
Of the Alaskan boundary question to

On several occasions, owing to i'll
ness, Secretary Hay has proposed TO
tender his resignation, but owing TO
the large number Of important matters
connected with his department, he has
BEEN prevailed upon to remain. Il was
definitely stated in the early part Of
April that Secretary Hay had deter
mined not to return to the state depart
ment, but to retire from Official life.
The same pressure that had been
brought to bear upon him before was
again exercised, and yielding to tho
solicitation Of the president and his
friends Secretary Hay again yielded 70
the earnest demands upon his rare in
telligence. On June 10, Mr.. Hay ar
rived in New York from Europe. and
his condition was reported AZ having

resigned and returned to the United
States, but was sent almost immediate
y to Madrid az secretary Of legation,
where he remained till 1870. During

BILE knowledge not only Of the language
and literature Of the chief European
nations, but also Of foreign diplomacy

United States he took up journalism

staff Of the New York Tribune, and

Recently compiled statistics show
that the loss of life and also the mum.
Der Of persons injured through col
lisions on railroads is greater in COM
parison than from any other cause.
The desire of the officials Of the larger
railroad lines to establish records for
high speed, whether for long or short
distances, is primarily the cause OF
these accidents and the consequent
loss of life. Safety Is sacrificed for
speed, as the breaking Of record
means a good advertisement for that
particular road. OF course, all rail-
roads have specific rules to cover any
possible chance Of accident, but to
break records and arrive at the des-
tination on schedule time it often de-
wolves upon the engineer to overlook
a danger signal purposely and take the
chance of coming out safely. A New
York man has invented an appliance
for railroads which was designed es-
pecially to prevent accidents from
negligence of this kind. II consists
Of signal apparatus having a lever,
much smaller. but similar to an or
binary railroad signal. When this sig

Self-Possession One Of the Most Use
full Of All Traits.
The cool head conduces to a sue
cessful meeting of emergencies with a
feeling that everything is going to
come out all right. The feeling Of
quiet, self-control in itself makes one
the better able to work toward the
good result.
To mother this self-possession is
invaluable. In a large family small
events calculated to upset the domes-
tic machinery constantly occur. To
the mother 1t seems to be a law of
nature that children should continu-
ally have hairbreadth escapes and
come out within an inch of their lives.
But is is equally a law Of nature
that they should escape. And when
ever the critical moment arrives In
her own life or in the life Of another.
1t is important for woman to remem-
Der that the worst thing she can do
at that moment is to lose her head;
the best thing she can do Is to keep
her mind in control. To keep her
head cool means that she Is a help
instead of hindrance, an assistance
instead Of drag.
In an emergency It is better to
seem heartless than to be inefficient.
Better the one person who stands
coolly by the sufferer and sees the
way to help him than the ten persons
who are ready to cry out and faint and
shed tears over his calamities and
pains. Affection and sympathy are
sometimes best proved by ignoring
them, particularly when the moment
arrives for action, not tears.-Philadel.

Electric Traction Wins.

-
Since the worlds fair test in Chi
cago, when steam engine in tug
of war contest succeeded in dragging
an electric locomotive back, the de-
velopment of the latter has steadily
progressed until it has reached a stage
where the electric locomotive assumes
superiority. 1t has been SO greatly
increased in size, weight, and power
that recent tests prove 1t to be more
than able to hold its own. Between a
specially selected Pacific type steam
passenger engine and the latest model
of electric locomotive the latter came
out we'll ahead in all Of the trial runs.
In addition the weight Of the trains
behind the locomotives was fifty-six
tons greater for the electric factor
than for its competitor, although the
greater weight of the steam locomo-
tive made the total weight of the
trains approximately equal.
Gas the Cheapest iIiuminant.
Since the introduction of the in
candescent gas burner new lease Of
life has been given to gas undertake
ings, according to the chief engineer
of the Manchester (England), gas
works. These gas works are owned
by the municipality. He says that
gas has now been placed in the front
row as the cheapest illuminant. The
Manchester engineer shows that elec-
tricity, light for light, is eight times
dearer in Manchester than is gas
light. He demonstrated that to pro-
duce light of 1,000-candle power it
would cost 3.72 cents if gas were used
and 30.1 cents If electricity were the
illuminant.
