However,, that has happened, and it is time for me to speak up and stop the inquiries if 1 can. for letter writing is not restful to me. and I am not having so much fun out of this thing as I counted on. That you may understand the situ ation I will insert a couple of sample in quiries. The first from a public instructor in the Philippines: "Santa Cruz. Ilocos Sur, P. I. "Feb. 13. 1002. "My Dear Sir 1 have just been reading the first part of your latest story entitled A Double-barreled Detective Story,' and am much delighted with it. In Part IV, Page 2)t. Harper's Magazine for January, occurs this passage: 'Far in the empty sky a solitary "oesophagus" slept, upon motionless wing; everywhere brooded still ness, serenity and the peace of God. Now, there is one word I do not understand, namely, 'oesophagus.' My only work of ref erence is the 'Standard Dictionary.' but that fails to explain the meaning. If you can spare the time I would be glad to have the meaning cleared up. as I consider the pas sage a very touching and beautiful one. U may seem foolish to you. but consider my lack of means away out in the northern part of Luzon. Youth very truly." Do you notice? Nothing in the paragraph disturbed him but that one word. It shows that that paragraph was most ably con structed for the deception it was intended to put upon the reader. It was my inten tion that it should read plausibly, and it is now plain that it does; it was my intention that it should be emotional and touching, and you see, yourself, that it fetched this public instructor. Alas, if I had but left that one treacherous word out. I should have scored! scored everywhere; and th- paragraph would have slidden through every reader's sensibilities like oil, and left not a suspicion behind. The other sample inquiry is from a pro fessor in a New Kngland university. It con tains one naughty word (which I cannot bear to suppress), but he is not in the theo logical department, so it is no harm: "Dear Mr. Clemens 'Far in the empty sky a solitary oesophagus slept upon mo tionless wing.' "It is not often I get a chance to read much periodical literature, but I have just gone through at this belated period, with much gratification and editication. your 'Double-barreled Detective Story.' "But what in hell is an oesophagus? I keep one myself, but it never sleeps in the air or anywhere else. My profession is to deal with words, and oesophagus interested me the moment I lighted upon it. Put as a companion of my youth used to say: 'I'll be eternally, co-eternally cussed' if I can make it out. Is It a joke, or I an igno ramus?" Between you and me. I was almost ashamed of having fooled that man. but for pride's sake I was not going to say so. I wrote and told him it was a joke and that is what I am now saying to my Springfield inquirer. And I told him to carefully read the whole paragraph, and he would find not a vestige of sense in any detail of it. This also I commend to my Springfield inquirer. I have confessed. I am sorry partially. I will not do so any more for the present. Don't ask me any more questions; let the oesophagus have a rest on his same old motionless wing. MARK TWAIN. New York city, April 10, lix.C. Comment by the Republican. The "Double-barreled Detective Story." which appeared in Harper's Magazine for January and February last, is the most elaborate of burlesques on detective fic tion, with striking melodramatic passages, in which it is difficult to detect the de ception, so ably Is it done. But the Illusion ought not to endure even the first incident in the February number. As for the para graph which has so admirably illustrated the skill of Mr. Clemens's ensemble and the carelessness of readers, here it is: "It was a crisp and spicy morning in early October. The lilacs and laburnums, lit with the glory-fires of autumn, hung burning and riashing in the upper air, a fairy bridge provided by kind Nature for the wingless wild things that have their home in the treetops and would visit together; the larch and the. pomegranate flung their pur ple and yellow flames in brilliant broad splashes along the slanting sweep of the woodland: the sensuous fragrance of in numerable deciduous flowers rose upon the swooning atmosphere; far in the empty sky a solitary oesophagus slept upon motion less wing; everywhere brooded stillness, serenity and the peace of God." The success of Mark Twain's Joke recalls to mind his story of the petrifcM man in the cavern, whom he described most punc tiliously, first giving a picture of the scene, its impressive solitude and all that; then going on to describe the majesty of tl;a figure, casually mentioning that the thumb of his right hand rested against the side of his nose; then, after further description, ob serving that the fingers of the right hand were extended in a radiating fashion, and. recurring to the dignified attitude and posi tion of the man. incidentally remark d that the thumb of the left hand was in contact with the little finger of the right and so on. But it was so ingeniously writ ten that Mark, relating the history years later in an articl which appeared in that excellent magazine of the past, the Galaxy, declared that no one ever found out the Joke. and. if we remember aright, that that astonishing old mockery was actually looked for In the region where he. as a Nevada newspaper editor, had located it. It is certain that Mark Twain's jumping frog has a good many more "pints" than any other frnij. X Independent Steel "Combine." PITTSBFIIG.

The leaders of the House expect to see the Cuban reciproc ity bill passed by the rrescnt week, but they admit the debate may be prolonged so that the final vote will not bo reached until next week. Proceeding, as the debate is, without a rule, it can be drawn out practically as long as anybody desires to speak, but the leaders believe the general debate will exhaust itself by Thursday at the latest. Mr. Dalzell will close the gen eral debate In favor of the bill when the measure is thrown open for amendment under the five-minute rule, and a great number of amendments will be offered by the Democrats with a view to opening up a way for amending the schedules of the Dingley tariff law. It is known in advance that all such amendments will be held to be not germane to the bill whose title pro vides for reciprocity with Cuba, and that only arrvndments raising or lowering the amount of the proposed concession will be held to be in order. Appeals will be taken from the rulings of the chair on the general tariff amendments, but it is certain that with possibly one ex ception the appeals will be unsuccessful. That exception may bo the amendment to take the differential off refined sugar. It is admitted on both sides of the chamber that the real tight will come on that amendment. A number of Republicans who are opposing the bill have announced that they will vote to overrule the chair on that proposition, and the Democrats expect to be able to cast a solid vote for it. The weakness of the position of the friends of this proposition is that the test will not come directly on the amendment, but on the ruling of the chair. If a motion to recommit with in structions to report back such an amend ment is made it will be held not to be in order, under the general theory of par liamentary law that the House cannot in struct the committee to do what It itself cannot do. The Republican opposition to the bill, hs shown last Tuesday on the mo tion to go into committee of the whole, is in the neighborhood of forty. Added to the Democratic vote. If solidly cast, the opposi tion would have a clear majority of ten. But the Republican leaders profess confi dence in their belief that not enough of the recalcitrants will go to the length of vot ing to override the chair to make, with the Democrats, a majority of the House. More over, they assert that some of the Demo crats themselves will hesitate to adopt this method cf getting a vote on a proposition which they contend is plainly not germane. If the danger involved in the amendment to abolish the differential Is passed the bill will have plain sailing on its final passage, as a majority of the Democrats will vote for it. In accordance with the agreement reached on Friday last the Sena(e on Wednesday will vote on the Chinese exclusion bill, and the present understanding is that the Phil ippine government bill will be taken up im mediately afterwards. It is probable, how ever, that the Philippine bill will be soon broken in on by the calling up of the river and harbor bill. Being an appropriation bill, which is a privileged measure and can be taken up at any time, it is not the desire of the committee to have it considered un til there shall have been a chance afforded to make further amendments in the com mittee. That opportunity will not be pro vided until Thursday following the vote on the Chinese bill. The opponents of the Chinese bill will press their right from this time forward, and if they find that they cannot secure its recommittal they will concentrate their efforts on proposed amendments. Especial efforts will be made to secure the adoption of the Piatt sub stitute. There will be a number of short speeches on the bill Monday and Tuesday, and. in addition to these. Senators Foraker and Mclaurin. of South Carolina, have given notice of set speeches for Monday. A portion of the day Saturday will bo de voted to eulogies on the late Senator Kyle, of South Dakotas GROWN LWDER CIIKLISK CLOTH. ! Tobacco Raised In Connecticut nn Good nn Imported Sumatra. WASHINGTON, April 13. rrof. Milton Whitney, chief of the Bureau of Soils of the Department of Agriculture, has returned from a trip to Hartford, Conn., New York and Philadelphia, where he went to learn the feeling in regard to the Sumatra to bacco grown under cheese cloth covering by direction of the department's tobacco experts. Ho reports that the interest in this tobacco leaf is increasing among the tobacco trade, and says it is believed that it will become a sharp competitor of the Sumatra tobacco. The leaf has improved very much since it was packed, taking on a gloss and finish that is considered very desirable. It is a well-known fact, pro fessor Whitney says, that all such leaf improves very much by standing for at least six mon'hs in bales. Boxes of cigars .wrapped with this tobacco after being "packed two months were opened in Hart ford and the gloss and finish of the wrap pers were very much finer than when the cigars were packed, showing that the color is permanent. The tobacco is to be sold at auction in Hartford on May 1. It has been classified and a catalogue of all the bales is being prepared for distribution among the trade, especially the cigar manufacturers. THEY SHOT TO KILL.

No revisionist demonstrations have oc curred and in order to avoid collisions be tween the strikers and the police, the Socialist committee has countermanded the orders for the monster meeting which it was intended to hold to-morrow in the in dustrial suburb of Molenbeck St. Jean. The authorities are anticipating to-morrow with anxiety, as the Socialist commit tee has definitely decided to proclaim a general strike in Brussels and its environs. A large majority of the metal workers and factory hands are expected to come out. though it is doubtful if the better class of workmen wi!l participate in the movement. A proclamation by the burgomaster, writ ten in French and Flemish, has been posted on the walls. It apptf.ls to citizens not to encourage the disorderly elements by form ing in groups upon the streets. A thousand civic guards were mobilized at 1 o'clock this afternoon and quartered in the Bourse and oth-T ruhlic buildings. There was no show of military or police upon the streets, however, until late this evening, when a body of police and gen darmes assembled in the vicinity of the Maison du Peuple and prevented gather ings. An extensive ambulance service has been organized to be in readiness for ( mrgenck s. There was considerable effer vescence around th? Maison after 8 o'clock this evening and the gendarmes, who In sisted that all windows in private houses be kept shut, were constantly occupied in dispersing groups. Several "persons were arrested for resisting the police. As M. Von der Velde left th Maison he was fol lowed by a crowd of Socialists, but he ex horted them to remain calm. The Soclalit deputies have decided to close the Maison du Peuple. in the future at 7 o'clock in the evening to convert thu evening" demonstration into a day demon stration, and to issue a manifesto urging the people to avoid violence. At a meet ing of delegates from the trades unions the order for a general strike was confirmed. The newspapers published to-day de scribe a ghastly struggle which occurred Saturday night between some of the work men, who desired to carry a wounded and dying in?n to the Maisor. du Peuple. and the police, who were trying to convey hini to a Red Cross ambulance. The wounded man had nearly all his clothes torn off him before th police prevailed in their effort:? and he died Immediately.

Schnnr Family Helonel When a Youth Retnrncd from America. NEW YORK. April 13. Dr. M. Neustaed er, of this city, to-day received a cable gram from Vienna giving notice of the re lease from prison of the Schnur family, ten members of which have been confined near there for some time, on the charge of having murdered Sehulin Schnur. The story of the charge, as told by the doctor, is that the young man supposed to have been murdered was about to become a Christian convert, and to marry a Chris tian girl, notwithstanding that he came from a well-known Jewish family of Dom brow, Galicia. His parents, to avoid the consequences of his proposed change of faith, sent him to a brother in this coun try, and after his disappearance were ac cused by the Christian peasants of the neighborhood with having murdered him. They were arrested and taken in chains to the nearest Jail. News of this reached the brother here, and a committee of twelve was selected to arrange to send the young man back in order to prove that he had not been murdered. The committee, of which the doctor was chairman, raised enough money to carry out its purpose, and an nounces that young Schnur has already left tills country in the care of an Amer ican. BOYS SOLD AS SLAVES 31 AX Y KIDNArMD AND SF.XT TOTIID PLANTATIONS OF YICATAN. Fntleed from the Street of the City off Mexico to n House and Se cretly Shipped Awity MKXICO CITY, April 12. The police of this city have broken up a gang of kid napers, who have been enticing j-oung boys to a house in this city, where the lads were kept prior to being shipped to Y'ucatan to work on the Henequln plantations. Com plaints have been coming into police head quarters of missing boys and the detectives surmised that there was systematic kid naping going on all over the city. The de tectives, in following up clews, found a house in Peralvillo street, on the outskirts of the city, where eleven boys who had been enticed there were discovered. They were kept under guird day and night and insufficiently fed and amid foul surround ings. The men in the house were arrested and taken to prison. They denied they were anything but clerks of ono IZnrlque Inglesias. a labor contractor engaged in securing men and boys for work In Y'uca tan. where the demand for labor is very pressing. The eleven boys secured from these traffickers In human beings were to have been immediately sent to Vera Cruz and thence to go to their long slavery in Yucatan. Subsequently the guards at the Peralvlllo-atrtet house confessed they were employed by Iglesias to entrap boys and confine them in the house till a convenient opportunity arose for sending them to Yucatan. The boys were met on the streets and promised food, clothing and spending money If they would accompany their ab ductors. A large number of boys are missinrr and the police believe they have been stolen in a similar manner. The authorities will carefully investigate the atrocities. The boys so captured arc said, on reaching Yucatan, to be held practically slaves, re ceiving nothing but their food and main tenance. Iglesias, said to be the head of the gang, is still at large. NEW YORK WASNOT "DRY" THIRSTY GOTIIAMITF.S COULD NOT BUY LIQUOR IN COMMON SALOONS, lint They Und No Difficulty in Getting All the Boose They Dealred in Haines Law Hotel. NEW YORK, April 13. The New Y'orker who wanted a drink of intoxicating liquor to-day discovered that the enforcement of the excise law, through the combined efforts of the uniformed police and the members of the State Liquor Dealers' As sociation, had assumed several new aspects. The first was that while it was much harder than heretofore to get a drink in a saloon holding merely a liquor tax, a cer tificate, It was much easier to obtain one in a Raines-law hotel. The buyer also found that while last Sunday he was served either with a plate of cheese and crackers with his drink or was given a sandwich to eat or not, as ho chose, to day he could not buy a drink without also buying a sandwich. Saloon men who were seen during the day seemed to think that the police activity had much to do with the saloons being kept closed tightly, for the most part, and ar gued that the hotel men were doing more business because they had been studying what they could and could not do with impunity. The Raines-law hotels through out the city were, as a rule, exceedingly well patronized. In the Tenderloin district there were very few places without a hotel license that made any attempt to do business. The district. It was said, was closed tighter than had been known in years. The plan of selling in rooms overhead the saloon and similar ruses were done away with, seemingly for the reason that the dealers thought the trouble too great and the com pensation loo small. The police of this dis trict were very active as well, anil there was but a small attempt to do business. I'p to 7 o'clock in the evening there had not ben an arrest in the precinct for violation of the excise law. In the Ye?i Thirty-seventh-street dis trict, where the trouble started two weeks ago, the same condition prevailed. The police were active, the saloon closed and the Raines-law hotels doing a big business. There was bi;t one arrest in daylight hours. In the other parts of the city somewhat similar conditions prevailed. At 11 o'clock to-night police headquar ters reported forty-one arrests in (Jreatrr New York for violation of the excise law. as against 111 for the twenty-four hours of last Sunday. 3lr.

Consul (ienernl Gltt iner ay.i It In Worth Keeping;. WASHINGTON, April l.l.-The United States enjoys more of Canadian custom than the rest of the world put together. Attention is directed to this fact in that portion of "Commercial Relations of 1901" (now in press), which deals with United States trade with Canada, an extract of which was given out for publication by Mr. Emory, chief of the Bureau of Foreign Commerce, to-day. It is pointed out that so closely allied are trade conditions in this country and Canada that prosperity or depression in the United States Imme diately finds echo in the trade of our north ern neighbor. In. 1877 Great Britain lost to us her lead in the matter of goods sent into the Dominion, and from that year forward, with but a slight interval, this country has steadily lengthened the gap. It is not as widely realized as it should be, says the report, that Canada is the best customer we have, excepting only Great Britain and Germany. Consul General Bittlnger, at Montreal, in a report on the subject, says: "The United States docs more business with Can ada than with the whole of South Amer ica; as much as with Central America, Mexico and West Indies together, and nearly as much as with Africa, Asda and Oceanica." Our present tariff policy to ward Canada," says the consul general, "causes the building up of great manufac turing interests to compete with our own. If we seek trade in other countries we must not deny them the opportunity to sell some of their products to us. Canada wants to send to the United States her lumber, wood pulp, hay, barley and minerals. The United States consumes more lumber and paper than any other nation in the world, and she shouid be glad to admit lumber and wood pulp free. If the United States would take off the duty on Canadian coal (which could profitably be sold only to a very limited extent along - our eastern coast) our coal would be admitted into Canada free, and our sales of coal in the Dominion would be double what they are at present." Canada's total importation for consump tion in the last fiscal year amounted to $1$1.23S,00. Imports from the United States reached the splendid figure of 110,4s5,0). an increase of some JOoo.ooij over the pre ceding year. Figures are given to show that the preferential tariff has failed to affect seriouslv trade movement hi.tiu j goods from the United States showed a de crease oi aooui feAxi.uuu last j-ear, but this is attributed in part to the growth of Cana dian industries. As a curious instance of how industries may be throttled by legislation, Mr. Bit tlnger relates that the British preferential tariff enabled British exporters last year to send to the Dominion woolen goods to the value of JlO.inooo. As they are con sidered of better quality than and as cheap as the home product, many Canadian mills have been obli.rfd to close down. Consul Shepard. at Hamilton, in his re port, calls attention to the interesting fact that the big dry goods houses of Canada send their milliners and modists to Ww ! York several times a year to observe and copy styles, and have practically turned their backs on the Kuroptan modes for merly so popular.

ALL HOPING FOR PEACE narrows tiiimv Tin: oiti.ook ix SOI'TH AFRICA IS FAVORAIJLE. Cabinet Official Hnay Considering Dlnpa tcliCH from Kitchener, nnd Chamberlain Vintta the King. LONDON, April 13. The announcement of the presence at Pretoria of the. Orange Free State and Transvaal leaden- and gen erals who have been at Klerksdorp con sidering terms of peace has caused a de cided increase in the hopefulness of the public concerning the possibilities of peace. The expectations aroused by the confer ence at Pretoria have been further height ened by the movements of Mr. Chamber lain, the colonial secretary, and other members of the Cabinet in London, and evidences that important dispatches are passing between Iord Kitchener and the government. A conference of members of the Cabinet was held last midnight in Mr. Chamber lain's house. Mr. Chamberlain, Mr. Brod rick, the war secretary, Sir Michael Hicks Beach, the chancellor of the exchequer, and the Duke of Devonshire, president of the council, were present. The conference terminated at 1 o'clock this morning, and to-day Mr. Chamberlain and several of the colonial officials were in their offices. Mes sengers passed between them and Sir Michael Hicks-Beach at his residence. At half past 1 o'clock this afternoon Mr. Chamberlain drove to Buckingham Palace and remained with King Edward for two hours. During the afternoon messengers carried dispatches from the Foreign Olfice to Lord Salisbury, who, with Mr. Balfour, the government leader in the House of Commons, was at Hatfield House. These outward signs of Sunday activity have not been supplanted by any authentic or official statement. The question most discussed thus far has been whether the Ieace negotiations would affect the gov ernment's financial proposals, which prom ise to be submitted to Parliament to-morrow. The fact that Sir Michael Hicks Beach was engaged in his office nearly all of to-day is taken in some quarters to in dicate a modification of the budget state ment. There appears to be no doubt that the Boer leaders have communicated the results of their deliberations to Lord Kitchener. Attempts will be made in Par liament to-morrow to draw out what in formation the government has on the South African situation, and to learn its inten tions; but it is not expected that the gov ernment can forecast the probable outcome of the negotiations. Whatever instructions have been sent to Lord Kitchener are be lieved to be only provisional In character. The comparatively brief duration of the conferences at Klerksdorp Is regarded as an inds-ation that the Boer leaders found little difficulty in agreeing upon some basis of negotiations. The transfer of the ne gotiations to Pretoria, where both Lord Kitchener and Lord Milner, the British hign commissioner in South Africa, are at pres ent, is interpreted by the morning papers as meaning that the Boers are prepared to make formal peace proposals. The latest reports received here from the Boer headquarters at Brussels and The Hague declare that the delegates will raise no opposition if honorable terms are grant ed, and that the Boer leaders in South Africa have agreed to accept the maxim obtainable. MR. HOLLOWAY MAY WIN QLEEIl COIILICATIOS OVI'.Il THE CONSULSHIP AT WARSAW. Campbell lie t Iren from the Fl lit nnd Leave the Field to the- Indlnn nnoli .Mnn'i Choice. ST. PETERSBURG, April 13. Consul Campbell has gone to the United States, declaring1 he intends to place his resigna tion in the hands of Secretary of State Hay. This brings to an end misunder standings which have lasted six months. On the death of Joseph Rawitz, for many years American consul at Warsaw, his nephew, Yladistaw Rawitz, the surviving head of the Rawitz banking house, signified his desire to succeed to the Warsaw con sulship. W. R. Holloway, the United States consul general at St. Petersburg, with the assent of Charlemagne Tower, the United States ambassador to Russia, recommended that Yladistaw Rawitz be given this post, saying the office had been excellently man aged by Joseph Rawitz and that the Raw itzes enjoyed an excellent reputation. Jeremiah Curtin, formerly secretary of the United States embassy here, caused the first complication by requesting that Herr Wolff, the publisher of Sienklewlcz's works, be appointed consul at Warsaw. H. H. D. Pierce, the third assistant secretary of state, wrote Mr. Holloway and asked him if he insisted on his recommendation. Mr. Holloway did insist on the appointment of Vladistaw Rawitz. and Mr. Tower under took indiscreetly to sound the Russian gov ernment regarding the acceptability of that gentleman. This inquiry, by some mistake, caused the issuance of an exequateur for Rawitz. As the consular position at War saw is highly esteemed. Rawitz Immedi ately received congratulatory visits from the local ofiicials and the ether consuls. At this stage of the proceedings Rawitz be came greatly embarrassed, as etiquette' re quired that his first visit be paid the gov ernor general, and this was impossible without American pajers.
