TRIP Ask OF THE NEWPORT. Interesting Details of the Run From Key West to Greytown. Interesting details have been received at the Navy Department of the recent trip of the gunboat Newport from Key West to Greytown with the Nicaragua canal sur- Li Hung Chang Discusses Germany's Ooou- pation of Kiso Chou. China, Struggling in the Throes Local Reformation, in No Post. . tion to Resent It. The Pekin correspondent of the New Yerk Herald sends the following interview with Li Hung Charg. The Chinese premier say “The forcible occupation of Kiao Chou by Germany is a direct violation of exist- ing treaties and of international law. “The pretext made for this act of war was the murder of two missionaries by robbers in the interior of the province of Shan-tung. The Chinese government of- fered immediate and full redress for this outrage—punishment of the criminals, dis- missal of the local officials and large com- persation for all losses. “Anxio.s to avoid hostile acts, the Chinese troops were withdrawn from Kiao Chou when the Germans landed, and in spite of strong public feeling prevalling throughout the country for the defense of Chinese territory against aggression, my government has not sent reinforcements to Kiao Chou. “Outlaws exist in China, as in all coun- tries. Neither treaties, law nor religion can entirely suppress crime anywhere in the world, though they condemn and pun- ish the criminals. There are places in every country where lawlessness abounds, and to such a place in Shan-tung the Ger- man missionaries determined to go, know- ing that the inhabitants themselves were often victims of these bandits. Tafortunately, China has not yet re- covered from the effects of the late war, ard ovr country requires a period of peace to carry out the work of reform lately be- cn. rot late years, from instruction and ob- servation, the Chirese have come to re- gard the countries of the western world as models, and even greater in justice than in arms. “Is it just to oppress us while we are struggling to emerge from the restraints of our ancient civilization, while improve- ment and progress steadily continue? Should China be distrersed by having her skores invaded and her territory occupied because of an cecurrence which western countries would deal with by law and not by war—an unexpected incident, deplored by my government and followed by full redress? Our desire is to preserve our territory intact and to steadily improve it as a fiekl open to ail countries equally for the de- velopment of commerce.” + e+ SOCIETIES CHOOSE OFFICERS.

Ar- riving at Greytown, the Nicaraguan gov- crnment sent off its representatives on a government tug, the San Jacinto, to meet Admiral Walker and the other commis- sioners. Their exit from the ship was made in the way so characteristic of the Central American countries, by means of a chair and tackle, each one being low- ered trom the side of the ship to the deck of the lighter below, a mode as disagree- able as it is novel. On the arrival in port Admiral Walker, Col. Hains and Mr. they were met by the command- and received with the greatest formal- nd ceremony, as well as cordiality. > heavy sea at the time would prevent the landing tne steam launches and other mate- of the expedition, Capt. Tilley decided of rial to leave on the 18th for Port Simon, Costa Ric to secure the necessary laborers for the working parties, arriving at the latter Place the same day. This mission did not prove entirely successful, it being diffi- eult to secure sufficient laborers, in con- sequence of which failure the ship will later go to Colon, hoping then without trouple to find the necessary men. On the evening of the 19th the captain and offi- cers of the Newport were given a recep- tion by the governor. A band from San Jose, the capital, furnished the music, and many prominent Costa Ricans were pres- ent. The morning following, the Newport fired a national salute to the port. In the afternoon the governor called,” and again the Newport's guns honored him. The ship returned the night of the 20th to Greytown in order to discharge the launches, coal and other freight of the expedition. Owing to the lack of laborers, the organization of the expedition is still incomplete #nd work cannot at once be commenced. There is a Rivas (the west coast) party, two San Juan parties, two river gauging parties, one boring party and a precise level party. Aside from these there will be parties made up of naval officers to do the sounding in the lake and river. The Rivas party will be under the charge of Mr. J. W. Walker, the son of Admiral Walker. Around ytown the land is low, swampy and malarious. At this time of year, however, no danger is to be appre- hended to any members of the exnedi- tion. ——___-es—_____. CUBA'S FIRST CABINET. The Spanish minister has received a tele- gram from Secretary General Congosta at Havana saying: “The first colonial cabinet has just taken the oath of office with sol- emnity, in the presence of all the foreign consuls and members of all political par- ties. The ceremony was very impressive. “Gen. Blanco delivered an address, the conclusion of which was received with vi- vas for Spain and fer Cuba-Spanish for- ever. This sentiment was received and re- echoed with enthusiasm. At this moment the first council of the cabinet is being held. There is great enthusiasm, which will increase every day. ——————-—2—___ The € ese New Year Day. ‘fhe Chinese minister, Mr. Wu Ting Fang, has announced that the 22d instant will be recognized as the Chinese new year. Here- tofore January 21 has been recognized as the first day of the celestial new year throughout this country, but such has been found to be an error, and it is to correct such that the announcement of the minis- ter is maie. Some time during the holiday seasor, beginning the 22d instant, a recep- ion will be held at the Chinese legation. —— Indians of Annette Isla The bill recently introduced in Congress having in view the segregation of the In- dians now occupying Annette Island, off the Alaskan coast, will shortly be returned to the committee on Indian affairs, with a report from Commissioner Hermann of the general land office, who, it is understood, will recommend the passage of the bill after the Indians now occupying the island are previded for. The Metlakahtla tribe now occupies the island, having been re- moved there from British Columbia under the direction of English missionaries. There are about 1,00v of them ali told, and it is said they have developed a marked degree of civilization. The island is said to be rich in mineral deposits, and the object of the bill is to open the country to settlement. 2a a A TEAEEEDE Ey GEEGED GTI oq Si Scz#E¢9/4E-dEEUGEIRPENPSI*TEpH QT 2 TULNETMELEY prelate, Richard Evans; master of work, W.

Several of the stirrirg songs of the war were rendered, ard the veterans who are employed in the building came out of their rooms and lis- tened with expressions of satisfaction at the songs of other days.

Program for Week of Prayer to Be Observed by Churches—Gen- eral and Personal, ar Bureau, 29 King Street. Bell Telephone No. 106. ALEXANDRIA, Va., January 3, 1898. Several days ago Sergeant Smith applied to Mayor Simpson for a definition of the duties and rank of the lieutenant and ser- geant, respectively, when on active duty. In response to the request, the mayor this morning read the following order to the men at police headquarters: “Lieut. Smith and Sergt. Smith are al- ternately in charge of our police, both offi- cers being directly responsible to Chief Webster. When the lieutenant is on active duty, the sergeant is not, and can in no sense direct the men without the voluntary request of the lieutenant, and the same immunity from interference is p ssed by the sergeant when he in turn takes charge. It is both necessary and courteous to the officer in charge that all directions to the men should go through him, emergency alone justifying a departure fron: this rule. “Our rules and regulations for the gov- ernment of the police force say that officers are always on duty. No one, however, is likely to concede for a moment that this duty is a synonym of the active duty to which officers are subject , for example, a well-remembered rule prescribes severe punishment for sleeping when on duty, and if an officer is always on duty, logi- cally he never sleeps. I conclude, therefére, that one duty is simply the Hlability to be called upon at any moment, ind the other an active service through a ted number of hours. Now, when the lieutenant takes control of the men, it is tor a_ specified duty to be performed in a specified time, and as long as that service remains unfin- ished his control is to be uninterrupted, ind the sergeant in his turn posses the same undisputable rights. “If, however, some extraordinary occasion should bring into active service both offi- cers at the same time, then rank superior- ity will be recognized. The laws creating the police force fail to mention the Quties of officers, and, by implication, at least, leave the question to executive discretion, and I am quite sure that an impartial cx- ercise of this discretion will neitaer disturb harmony nor destroy discipline, and I can safely assure you that this thought accom- panies my decision today.” This order meets with the approval of the officers generally, and is thought to be a perfectly just one. Among the Churches. The churches were largely attended yes- terday, and in all of them the resident rectors officiated and preached morning and evening. Tne holy communion was celebrated in the Episcopal churches. Commencing tonight, the annual week of prayer will be observed on the following schedule: Baptist Church—Subject, “Con- fession and Thanksgiving,” Rev. J. Ernest Thacker, Rev. L. I. McDougle, Mr. F.

This is the consummation of the deal by which the George R. Hill Company enters the cracker trust. Ev le si No. Fire Alarm Last Night. Shortly before 9 o'clock last night an alarm of fire was turned in from the fourth ward, occasioned by the burning of some blankets in a house at the corner of Prince and Patrick streets, but the department did not go into service. While responding to the alarm both of the rear wheels of the truck broke off at the hub, but no one was hurt. Police Court. In the police court this morning the fol- lowing cases were disposed of: Alex.

Walking Three Hours Without Ma’ ing an Inch of Progress, From the Spokine Spokesman. We staried out in the early morning from the hotel, the majcr carrying a pair of field glasses, a light overcoat, an um- brella and a book describing the glories of California. I contented myself with car- rying a small hamper, and more than once found myself wondering how my compan- fon dared attempt the trip. “Pooh, pooh!” he said in answer to one of my questions concerning his ability to get through the performance creditably. “Pooh, pooh, sir! I have scaled the Him- alayas and the Mountains of the Moon. I ascended Popccatapetl, and have crossed the Sahara en foot. Why, sir, I could run up a little hill like Tamaipais blindfolded, and not even pause to wipe my forenead.” We said no more on the subject, and finally reached Larkspur, where we began to make the ascent. At the station the thermometer registered 70 degrees, but by the time we had finished the first quarter of the ascent it seemed abcut a thousand. Presently we arrived at a point about half way up the mountain, and the major suddenly came to a halt. He again waved his arms abcut and then sat dow “It is too great for speech, he said, mopping his brow. “The incline?” Tyentar sir; ed. the scenegy!” he thundered, ing pufts,between each word. “A little walk like this occasionally is what @ man needs to keep.him healthy, sir.

As far as the eye cous See there extended a mighty bed of ss flat as a mirror, and without a sin; el object on it to relieve the. monotony. ter walking for three hours it dawned over me that I was mak- ing absolutely no progress, though at first J es at a loss to understand the reason. DY PaReanr however, to stand stil for cone moment, I found that the glacier was sicwly slipping from beneath my feet, and that, although I had been going through the motions of walking, in reality I aad made no progress whatever. I therefore commenced walking in_ a direction at a right angle to the one I had been taking, and after a short while succeeded in get- ting, not on terra firma, but on glacier firma again But that was the toughest walk I ever had.” The major had no sooner finished his story than he gently dropped off to sleep, a@pparentiy with a clear conscience. Bay State Abandoned Farms. Fiom the Springfield (Mass.) Republican, Our abandoned farms, as advertised by the state, continue to find purchasers. But there are many yet in the market. The state board of agriculture’s annual report mentions the sale of twenty-seven of these properties during the year, and eight more were withdrawn from the public catalogue published by the state. Some 236 abandon- ed farms were described in last year’s cata- jogue. Of the twenty-seven reported sold, fourteen were bought for general farming Purposes, and the others for special ob- jects, like poultry and stock raising, sum- mer residences, and for the timber and pasturage. Six of the purchasers are resi- dent outside of New England; Florida, Ohio and New Jersey contributing one each, and New York three. Massachusetts furnished fourteen of the purchasers. Gradually, no doubt, this abandoned land will be brought into some use. It is rather surprising, though, that more of it is not being taken for sheep raising and grazing.*The tax assessors’ reports for the year show that the number of sheep in the state continues to decline. The farmers say that there are too many dogs in Massachusetts. —+e*-—. The Symptoms of “Buck Fever.” From the Marquette Mining Journal. A Marquette citizen tells the Journal his experience with “buck fever.” He had never tried to shoot a deer, and hunting them was new to him. After spending a few hours tramping through the woods, feeling tired, he sat down an a log to rest for a short time. Now, like most hunters, he had taken his pipe and tobacco along. Filling the pipe, he smoked for a time with- out interruption, when, happening to turn his head a little to one side, he saw a large buck coming straight toward him. As luck would have it, he had sat down to smoke near a deer trail. ‘The deer kept getting nearer and nearer, until he got nearly ‘opposite the place where the hunter sat concealed. While the hunter was watching the approach of the deer he forgot that he had a gun and that the deer was “his meat.” He began to tremble and shake in every limb and joint, and it was a difficult matter for him to re- strain a yell of fright. He watched and trembled until the deer was passing his hiding place and into the thicket beyond. Then feeling for his» pipe, he discovered that it lay on the ground near his feet. By the time he had picked it up the deer was out of range, and then he discovered that in his excitement he had bitten the mouthpiece of his’ pipé‘in two. He was greatly relieved to see the deer move on, as it seemed to him that he was the game and the deer the hunter. ‘The First'Clock, From the London Standard. The first clock, in our sense of the word, seems to have been (for we are not sure as to what clocks they were which, in 872, the Venetians invented, of which they sent a specimen to Constantinople) one made in 1374 for Charles V of France. It was a very big one, weighing several hundred~ weight, and made by a converted Arab named Henry de Vic, and those who are curious may find full details in Froissart. ‘The clock was put up in the round tower of the palace, and for months vast crowds assembled to watch the novelty’s action and details.
