Haltiriioie.
Tbo Chicago 1'ouuy Havina nocicty,
operating through tho ruhlio school
teachers, last yo;ir rcceivod from tho
school children of that city over $70,
000. This ineaua that at leust$lP,000

dren are becoming capitalists at tho
rata of live cents a diiy.
"An old ago pension" means that
every wage earner shall by public au
thority bo insured, ho that vheu ho
leaches an age when ho cau do no
wore work he and his wife san lead an
existence worthy of human beings,
without baing compelled to go to tho
poorhouso. Is this not worth the at
tention of Americans? Should we not
at least begin to thiuk of this and
discuss it? asks tho New York Jour
ual. The gnards at Joliet, (111.) penitou
tiary have been armed with mauser
rifles carrying dum-dum bullets. Tho
only excuuo offered for the uso of
these bullets in warfare h that, iu
meeting a charga of overwhelming
numbers of savages, it is necessary to
have a bullet that will produce shock
enough to stop tho rush of any man it
hits. There is no such emergency to
bo met in shooting a runaway convict
in tho back. Tho usa of a dum-dum
bullet in such a case is simple bar
barism, without tho excuso of neces
sity. There is no land iu tho world,
tho United States not evou ex
cepted, whero such a rapid central
ization of population in the towns has
taken place as in Japan, say.i tho Lon
don Mail. Within the last decado To
kio ha3 doubled its population sinco
1883 viz., to 1,300,000; Yokoliaraa
and Kobe roso respectively from 89,
000 and 80,000 to 180,000 and 185,000;
Osaka from 360,000 to 510,000 inhab
itants, In 188(5 there were iu Japan
117 towns with more than 100,000 in
habitants; now there are 220. Japan
numbers now 45,000,000 souls.
One of the oldest bridges in Europe
is soon to disappear, under the de
mand for better navigation of the river
it spans. This is the stone bridge,
with fifteen arches and a total length
of 994 feet, built across tho Danube
at Eegensburg (Rati3bou), in Bavaria,
by Dake Henry the Superb, iu 1135
'40, The piers rest on piles, protect
ed by stone riprap and heavy ' ice
breakers; the roadway is very narrow,
and the footways allow tha passage of
only onepetsoa at a time. So far as
its stability is concerned, it would
probably stand for another 750 years,
but it interferes with tho passage of
steamboats.
For the past few months the mem
bers of the Woman's club of Jersey
city have voluntarily davoted them
selves to overseeing tho street sweep
ers and inducing them to perform their
work pvoperly. So successful hava
these wonenbeon iu their self-appointed
task that it i suggested that they
be officially engaged to superintend
this department of public works.
Undoubtedly there are mauy kinds of
municipal work which women could
do much better than men, and this is
one. Their genera! ions of training
iu housekeeping give them peciliar
skill in attend n; to tho details of
oleanliness. The oversight of streets,
library buildiugs, public baths, and
even the walks, drives and lawns of
our park is but housekeeping on a
larger scale, for tho city is simply our
larger ho ne. Attention to its clean
liness, sanitation and beauty involves
the bo me order of abilities as is re
quired in keeping u house in good or
der. Great Britain and Ireland and Ger
many were for many years tho great
est sources of our immigration stream
but now it Hows mo.e largely from
Italy and liussia.
KRUGER'S REPLY
c miviEi nma
England Momentarily Expects th
Boers to Attack.
WAR NOW SEEMS A CERTAINTY
London Papers Indicate Serious
ncss of CrisisText of
Krugrr's Reply.
A London special under date of
Sept. 18th states that the Transvaal
situation still remained practically
unchanged. The general apprehen
sion in regard to (ha outcome was re
flected by tho decline in consols and
stocks on the stock exchange whero,
although all stocks continued dull,
there was not the slightest approach
to excitement.
The text of Tresident Krugcr's
reply was issued by tho secretary of
state for the colonies, Mr. Chamber
lain, Monday afternoon, but it added
nothing of importance to the summary
cabled to tho Associated Fiesi. The
language in many places is taken to
indicate a firm, unyielding position.
The reply, however, concludes:
"If her majesty's government is
willing and feels able to make this de
cision a joint commission, as at first
proposed by Mr; Chamberlain, it
would put an end to the present state
of tension. Race hatred would.de-'
crease and die out, and the prosperity
and welfare of tho South African re
public and tho whole of South Africa
would be developed and furthered, and
fraternizing between the different
nationalities would increase."
The London evening papers all in
dicate the seriousness of the crisis,
but The St. James Gazette soys:
"It need not bo imagined that any
thing will bo done on our side in a
hurry. Tho cabiueT has first to recon
sider and secondly to formulate fresh
proposals. Therefore these comment
ators on tho crisis who assume that
fighting will immediately commence
are obviously a little nervous. Of
course, it is quite possible the Boers
may begin hostilities, in which case
our troops will have to defend British
territory. But unless the Boers take
the offensive, tho negotiations will be
prolonged until the reinforcements
now on their wav to South Africa
reach their destination."
Text of Kruger's Ileply.
The text of Kruger's reply, as pub
lished officially, is in part as follows:
"The government deeply regrets the
withdrawal, as the government under
stands it, of the invitation contained
in the British dispatch of August 23d,
and the substitution, in the place
thereof, of an entirely new proposal.
"The propof als, now fallen through,
contained in the Transvaal dispatch of
August 19th and August 21st, were
elicited from this government by sug
gestions made by the British diplo
matic agent in Pretoria (Conyngham
Greene) to the Transvaal state secre
tary (F. W. Reitz) suggestions which
this government acted upon in good
faith and after specially ascertaining
whether they would be likely to prove
acceptable to the British government.
This government had by no means an
intention to raise again needlessly the
question of its political status, but
acted with the sole object of endeav
oring by the aid of the local British
agent, to put an end to the strained
condition of affairs.
"This' was done in tho shape of . a
proposal which this government
deems, both as regards its spirit and
form, to be so worded as, relying
upon itiinations to this government,
would satisfy her majesty's govern
ment. "This government saw a difficulty
as to the acceptance of those proposals
by tho people and legislature of tho
Transvaal and also contemplated pos
sible dangers connected therewith,
but risked making them on account of
a sincere desire to secure peace and
because assured by Mr. Chamberlain
that such proposals would not be
deemed a refusal of his proposals, but
would be settled on their merits."
ASK JUSTICE FOH SCHLEY.
Fromlnent Marylanler Protest to Presi
dent Acalnst Admiral'! Assignment.
Governor Lowndes, Senator Wel
lington, Mayor Malster, of Baltimore,
and General Felix Angus, called upon
President McKinley Monday and for
mally protested against the assignment
of Bear Admiral Schley to command
the South Atlantic station on the
ground that it was not commensurate
Avith his dignity and the services he
had rendered during the Spanish war.
' The protest was made voluntarily
and without Admiral Schley's knowl
edge. The president listened atten
tively to what tho Maryland republi
can leaders had to say, but gave no in
dicatioa of whui, he would do.
CONSPIRATORS ON TRIAL
Trench Senate Organize as a
Court to Try Twenty-Two
Prisoners.
A Paris dispatch says: Tho French
senate met as a high court of justico
Monday afternoon for the purpose of
trying twenty-two politicians, includ
ing MM. Dcmonicourt, Dcronlcde,
Marcel-IIabcrt, Thiobaud, Baron de
Vaux and Jules Guerin, on the charge
of conspiring against tho government.
Tho procurator general, M. Bernard,
read tho long indictment. Not one of
tho accused was present or in tho
palaco at the time, but nine cells were
fitted up for them in. tho library.
President Fallicres opened the pro
ceedings amid general sileuco by read
ing tho decree of the president of the
republic constituting tho nenate, on
tho report of the minister of justice,
into a high court to try tho charge
against the accused of making an at
tempt on tho security of the state.
M. Fallieres tbon declared the sen
ate constituted a high court and the
clerk of the court called the roll of
eauators, who answered with the word
"present."
The indictment commenced by re
citing the facts of tho arrest of MM.
DeRoulede and Marcel-llabert, and
said tho inquiry had shown tho exist
ence of a conspiracy to change the
form of government, to which tho dis
orders of last February, it was added,
were due and in which MM. DeRou
lede, Marcel-IIabcrt and some mem
bers of the League of Patriots, M.
Guerin and some members of the Anti
Semite league, M. DuBac, and some
members of the Society of Anti
Semitio Youth, MM. Buffet, Godcfrey
and Shevilly, and members of the roy
alist party were inculpated.
The indictment gave a few particu
lars of the provincial organization.
Referring to tho Provincial League, it
said it was worthy of attention because
the idea of monarchic restoration ap
peared inconceivable, it had played a
preponderant role in the recent events,
its leader being the duke of Orleans
himself and its managers his accredited
representatives. All the leagues, it
was asserted, seek to change the form
of government by street risings.
The culminary point of the royalist
conspiracy was reached February 23d,
when M. De Roulede made his noto
rious attempt on the Plaoede la Nation
to induce a brigade of infantry to
march on the Elysee palaco. Every
thing, it seems, was prepared to carry
out the royalist plan that day, but M.
Do Roulede's failure spoiled all, and
the duke of Orleans, who was awaiting
at Brussels the signal to come to Taris,
received instead a telegram from M.
Buffet saying:
"Useless to come. Send you fur
ther news tomorrow."

CHASED BRITISH SHIP.
American Commander DUcorered III
Mistake and Apologized.
. The American gunboat Pampango
chased the British uteamer Yuen-Sang
from Manila to Hong Kong. The gun
boat sighted the steamer during the
night about thirty miles off the north
coast of the Island of Luzon, and sus
pected that she was a filibuster.
The Pampango fired three shots,
which the Yuen-Sang disregarded un
til the third shell exploded near her.
She then stopped and the commander
of the gunboat boarded the Yuer.-Sang,
found he had made a mistake, and
apologized.
PROTEST PROM CHINA
Against Eiclusion of Celestials
From the Philippines.
COUCHED IN THE POLITEST TERMS
Otis' Action In lUrrlnt Them Out Will !'.
Looked Into Itjr the (internment
At Washington.
A Washington dispatch says: Tho
imperial Chinese government, through
its minister at the national capital,
Mr. Wu Ting Fang, has lodgod with
tho state department an emphatic pro
test agaiust tho military order of Gen
eral Otis, excluding Chinese from the
Philippines. Neither the state depart
ment nor the Chiceso legation will
give any informatiou concerning the
protest, but from entirely reliable
quarters it is learned that it insists
that General Otis' action is contrary
to international law, in violation of
existing treaties, and complete disre
gard of the friendly relations which
have been so long maintained between
tpe two countries. Minister Wu called
at tho state department last Friday
and it is believed ha submitted the
protest in person at that time.
The matter was promptly brought to
the attention of the president, as the
protest was of such a character as to
give tho subject an international aspect
considerably beyond the purely mili
tary questions involved. It is said
that China points out that she has
welcomed tho recent advent of the
United States into the affairs of the
far east, and ha3 hoped that this step
would prove a further bond and would
extend the relations between the two
countries, particularly in the neigh
boring possessions. Furthermore, it
is understood that among the specific
points of the protest submitted by tho
Chinese government, i3 one to the
effect that such an order is a departure
from the announced purpose of the
president of the United States to main
tain the present status of affairs in the
Philippines until congress had deter
mined a permanent condition.
The military phases of the question
have been referred to Secretary Root.
Owing to his familiarity with interna
tional law, he proba'dy will consider
the subject broadly, both in its inter
national as well as its military aspects.
General Otis' order was issued some
time ago, without direction from
Washington, and apparently as a mil
itary necessity, although the Chinese
protest urges that there is no such
military necessity, but, on the contra
ry, that the Chinese have rendered
valuable militaiy assistance.
General Otis' order is signed by
himself as military governor of the
Philippines, and by Brigadier General
Charles A. Whitaker, as collector of
customs, having a supervision of
Chinese affairs. It says:
"The laws of the United States which
prohibit the entrance of Chinese will
be enforced here."
The decree then excepts such Chinese
as have previously lived in the Philip
pines, and who hold certificates show
ing this fact. It also excepts Chinese
officials, travelers, etc., excepton un
der the treaty between the United
States and China. Provision is made
for registering the Chinese in the
Philippines, and their deportation to
China in case of failure to register.
As very few Chinese other that those
now in the Philippines come within
tho exceptions, the effeet of the de
cree is to make tho exclusion practi
cally absolute.
General Otis made a report to the
war department on April 1st last on
the execution of the decree.
It is understood that the Chinese
government regards the outcome of
this protest with much apprehension.
It is pointed out that the Chinese have
long been established in the Philip
pines, and that a considerable branch
of tho industry of tho islands is con
ducted by them, and that this com
plete termination of a long-established
communication between China and the
Philippines injures these people both
personally and materially.
The Chinese protest is said to be
couched in most dignified and courte
ous terms, but to be bo pointed that
no doubt is left as to the deep um
brage the Chineie government feels
over this order of General Otis.
