1T is REPORTED high CHINESE
OFFICIALS FEAR REVOLUTION.
Forbidden City Now in Hands of Rifle
men-Packages Of Dynamite Found
In Street-Heir to throne May BE
Cause Of Trouble-Troubie In Pal
ace ls Denied.

Pekin. Feb. 26.-The guards around
the forbidden city have been doubled,
and all the palaces and residences of
high officials are especially guarded.
The police. who have hitherto carried
batons. are now armed with rifles. ALI
the officials that are accessible either
refuse any information or profess ig-
norance of the reasons for the precau-
tons that have been taken. and as a
result many rumors are afioat.
Possibly the only cause is the alarm
OF the dowager empress over the pre-
valence Of revolutionary rumors.
The Chinese minister at Toxic a few
days ago telegraphed the government
warning it against several revolution
airy students who were departing from
Japan for China. Two packages Of
dynamite have been found in the
street. outside of the gate leading to
the palace. Apparently they were
dropped by some one afraid to carry
them. A report finding credence is
that quarrel is afoot within the pal
ace between the partizans of the en-
press dowager and the emperor over
the selection of an heir to the throne,
but 1t is not confirmed.
Only Precautionary"
All information obtainable indicates
that the military measures at the pal
ace were only precautionary, and were
taken because of the widely circulated
rumors that there would be trouble
here Saturday. The finding of the
packages of dynamite outside the pal
ace gates, which is somewhat mysteri-
GUS, probably caused uneasiness, as
the court had been nervous since the
outrage in the Pekin railway station
on September "a of last year, when a
missile was exploded inside a private
car on the track carrying one of the
four missions ordered abroad to study
foreign political methods, killing four
persons and wounding 20 others.
The reports Of trouble WITHIN the
palace can not be corroborated, but
they probably are founded on gossip,
for which Pekin 10 always hotbed, or
are based ON the Strengthening Of the
palace guards.
The city was never quieter. There
has not been the slightest sign Of
feeling shown against foreigners, nor
have the foreigners here any appre-
tensions. Several parties from the
foreign legations are taking advan-
tage of the mild weather to make long
excursions into the country.
The kilograms describing the mill
tary preparations of the American gov
eminent for trouble in China have
been widely published in the Chinese
newspapers and are considered as de-
cidedly unfriendly.

BREAKS BY CONGRESS-
Peculiar Mistakes Due to Tremen-
dous Amount of Work Transacted
Just Before Adjournment.

In the hurry and hustle of get
away day in Congress. a few errors
slipped in to upset the calculations of
party leaders. One of these was the
signing Of the agricultural appropri-
alton bill by the President before that
contained the signature of the
Speaker of the House of Representa-
tiveS. OF course this oversight was
corrected. but the question then arose
as to the Importance of having the bill
signed by the Speaker and the Vice
President. Their signatures merely
certify that the bill has passed their
respective houses. the important fact
being that they have been passed by
the House and Senate. For this red
son ii is not regarded as being abso-
lutely indispensable that a bill should
be signed by the presiding officer of
the House. All that is necessary is to
establish the fact that it has been so
passed.
Another "break" was the presiden-
tial approval of the sundry civil bill
containing an item "appropriating
$3.000.000 for Il site for Il new de-
partmental building in Washington.
This item had been dropped out of the
bill in conference but the enrolment
clerks failed to notice he omission
and so included this item in the copy
of the bill laid before the President for
his signature. When the error was
discovered. IA resolution was adopted
by both houses of Congress repeating
the feature of the bill making the
$3.000,0o0 appropriation.
1t is not strange that these mis-
takes occur. as all of the employees of
both the Senate and House during the
last few days of Congress have an
enormous amount of work showed upon
them, so that when Congress actually
adjourns many of them are ready to
take TO their beds for several days in
order to recuperate.

bouche" to be presented to a lady.
There is also, it is said, a demand for
sugared rose petals, which is being
catered to by some enterprising artists
in sugar. 1t can hardly be pretended
that flowers made into 'sweets" are of
any medicinal efficacy. though damask
rose leaves have long held n recog-
nized place in the materia medica.
Whether the violet has any thera-
peutic qualities does not appear,
though the leaves (not the tiower)
have Just now some reputation-out-
side the medical faculty-as a Ire
for cancer. The best that can be
hoped for, if flowers are to be eaten
as we'll rs to be seen and smelled, is
that they may in all cases prove to be
i%nnocuouS. 1t is Il nice question
whether the perfume is always IA safe
guide.
Perhaps the modern craze is, after
all. only a form of luxury. A candied
violet or n dish of rose leaves cum
ningly prepared for the tea table could
not possibly enter into the category of
cheap sweets for the millions. and ii
is understood that the sugar trust is
not interested.

CANADIAN RECIPROCITY.
Northern Sister Would Like Such
Arrangements; But is Waiting

4 letter from Ottawa, Canada,
states that the question of reciprocity
between Canada and the Unite.
States is by no means deau, as was
clearly shown by the recent debate on
the Canadian budget in a number of
speeches. which, while they admitted
that the United States did not appear
to care for reciprocity, ii would II 1t
could be brought about on mutually
advantageous terms, De a good thing
for both sides of the line. Many of
the crown ministers and even Sir VIII
frid L.aurier himself, the premier, and
described in England as the foremost
statesman in the British Empire, are
favorable to OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES re-
ciprocity, if it Il be had. Sir
Richard Cartwright, minister of trade
and commerce., said recen,-y that there
could be no better British policy than
to do everything possible to encourage
good relations with the United States.
Senator Lougheed, the conservative
leader in the Senate, stated that he
thought no higher work could be found
by King Edward than to promote the
good relations of the two peoples. and

happier way of Strengthening the bond
between the Anglo-SaXon peoples on
the North American Continent than
for the King and Queen to visit the
shores of North America at the pres
ent time.
If reciprocity is not visibly to the
front to-day it is because public
opinion in Canada reg rds reciprocity
as unattainable and the position of
the anti-reciprocity men who are for
the moment supreme, as unaSSallaDle
Hence, and for no other reason, re-
ciprocity sentiment is put on the shell
until called for again, and an ostenta-
tious appearance of Indifference is
manifested in Canada which will be
| stiftly maintained as long as the
| United States government makes no
forward movement that public opinion
in the Dominion can accept as sincere
and based on IA spirit of reasonableness
and fair play.
To those who are able to read be-
tween the lines. the announcement of
the finance minister that the changes
to be made in the Canadian tariff,
when revision takes pace next session,
must depend upon such new conditions
as may have occurred, is obviously
meant for the people at Washington
who stand in the way of reciprocity.
and those in London who have blocked
a mutual preference between the
mother country and Canada. 1t is a
warning and may mean much, or little,
as circumstances or conditions dictate.

figures that while we used last year
more that a billion pounds of coffee,
and while about 250,000,00O pounds
were supposed to be Mocha and Java,
there were actually imported into this
country last year only a fraction over
100000 pounds of Mocha and 10000
900 pounds of Java, or approximately
less than 1~3,000,000 pounds, n only =
per cent of the popular blend. 1t IS
staggering to know % per cent. of the
people who think they drink Mocha
and Java every day have been de
ceived, and yet the facts seem TO be
rather plain.
Figures like these, however, al
though ordinarily impressive and con
vincing, did not attract so much at
tentiOn in the House, because the
members were SO absorbed in the prac-
teal demonstration of the extent to
which fraudulent manufacturers of
food products have been willing to
go in the way of swindling the public.
