LONDON, November 30, 1898. The political atmosphere of Europe has cleared considerably lately, and, despite the existence of suspicions and grumblings on the part of various statesmen, things seem to have quieted down enough to in- sure a peaceful and comfortable Christ- mas season.

Russia has been working quiet- ly, but surely, as ts her way, and her in- fluence has already made tremendous changes in China. At Port Arthur the Russians have relaxed no effort, day or night, to put the place In a thoroughly for- tified condition, and have lately sent there numerous heavy guns. Their diplomacy bas gained many vietories over that of the British in China supplying Russian troops to the celestial until the latter's army is efficient may be faid to be the crowning feat of all. land thus far has done little to improve her possession at Wetl-hai-w ei. a miles across the Bay of Pechili from Port Arthur, but is now making a beginning. One of England's first answers to Russia fs the enrollment of a regiment of Chinese officered by whites, and more are to follow. If trouble should occur in the far east {i might be possible to see the Chinese, led by the rival powers, fighting against each ner for their foreign masters. There is quite as much danger here as tn Egypt. So e does not have far to go to see why it is good policy to maintain pleasant rela- tions with the United States, and why even the new interpretation of an “open door,” #s evolved in Washington, is accepted with equanimity in England. When tt was thought here that the United States meant to inaugurate free trade in the Philippines, delight knew no bounds and columns were filled with praise for America’s new policy & sudden tempering came when it was learned that the “open door” meagt s tariff and the latest scheme of ; Eng- | hundred | Where there is a community of in- | | were ob for all, including America. Excuses have been found for us, however, and the policy accepted. Another wrench was the news from Washington that the United States had secured permission from Costa Rica to erect a fortified coaling statton on the coast of that country. This is in distinct contra- vention of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, which is still in force, and which was framed with the object of preventing such control, by a single power, over an isthmus cana) as the propored station wili give the United States. However, Great Britain is disposed in her present state of good feel- ing for us not to insist upon the strict reading of the treaty, but it is quite likely that something will be expected in return. Indeed, the proposal ts already advanced that the cession to England of the Sulu archipelago would be a proper return tor such a concession. Still Ido not think that any compensation would be insisted upon. Some idea of the state of mind in England regarding wars and rumors of wars, to- gether with the new condition of friendship for the United States, may be gathered from a letter that went the rounds of the London press yesterday. A Novel Proposition. The letter is from a British ship owner, and I give the portion under consideration in the writer's own words: “ ‘Hands Across the Seas’ is the favorite sentiment accord2d to our American offspring, and the chord reverberates throughout the British sov- ereignty. It is, I think, desirable that the American government should have th? loan of £20,000,000, at 24 per cent, repayable in sixty years, for the purpose of expending this sum in building up a navy to co-oper- e with us under certain conditions to be defined by th> cabinets of Great Britain and America. The advantages are appar- ent. Continental nations would carefully consider and review the actual position, while we would have a navy as our aliy ready for any emergency without any sp2- cial efforts on our part. This navy would be leased to Great Britain, but it would be manned and maintained by Am ‘a for her defense. By the expenditur: of this money we would receive full value, and it would create a bond of union and mutual self-interest. between the two countries which will tend to promote international amity between all other nations, heralding the time of peace and goodwil! This is reducing the “alliance” to a com- mercial basis with a vengeance. The London Sunday. is greatly disturbed at present action of the county council in certain Sunday concerts, which had become very popular and afforded great relief to the poorer Londoners who have little leisur2 except on Sunday. The mus! ven at these concerts was of the highest ass, and was valuable, in its way, as an lucater, but the county councillors, in pursuance of an old blue law on the sub- London over the stopping ject, have stopped this form of Sunday recreation. The dreariness of a London Sunday is proverbial. Travelers and writers have condemned it over and over again. Perhaps Dick indictment of it will be remembered. Sunday in London—gloomy, close . Maddening church bells of all s of dis sharp and_ flat cracked and clear, and slow, made t brick-and-mortar s hideous, Every thing was bolted rre that could by possibility furnish relief to an overworked people. N tures, no unfamiliar animals, ho rare plants or fiowers, no natural or artificial wonders of th+ ancient world—all with that enlightened strictness that the ugly Scuth Sea gods in the British Museum might have supposed themselves at home again. Nothing to see but streets, strests Nothing to breathe but stree reets. Nothing to change the br ov raise it up. Nothing for the spent toller to do but to compar the monc f his seventh day with th monotony of his six days; think what a weary life h» led, and make the best of it— or the worst, according to the probabili- les."* A Backward Step. The National Sunday League has done a great deal to chan he conditions Dickens wrote about, a of late Sunday has been improved by the op-ning of picture gal- leries and museums, music in the public parks and elsewhere. The action of the county council fs distinctly retrograde, and is condemned by people of modern ideas us @ monstrous pi of cant. The lives of a large section ¢ » British public, he ever, are so humdrum that they are en- tirely governed by habit. Thetr lives are ruled something like their food—bacon and eggs for breakfast, cold eof for lunch or supper, roast ribs of beef or leg of mutton for dinner, early or lat Such are the limitations of the culinary horizon of thousands of worihy families. An annual dinner par a Christmas fam- ily gathering, the theater perhaps once a month and church always on Su make up the round of life for them. They go to Sunday concerts and see no of them for others. The singuls is that, though concerts are forbid- trinking saloons are open for a short me during the day and all the evening. Corporations With Souls. The old saying that “corporations have no souls” finds many exceptions in Eng- land, especially In the treatment accorded to faithful employes and public servants. | The civil service pension lst is a lengthy one, and shows fair sums given to indi- vidual Banks pension off old servants and private houses afford many instances h consideration for services rendered. The Times has a pension list, too, but two recent cases of generosity on the part of proprietors are worthy of mention. The first ts that of Mr. Henry Callaghan, a well-known Californian, who for some time past has been managing engineer for a London syndicate at their mines in Aus- tralia. On leaving for a holiday Mr. Cal- laghan was presented with a check for 40 by the syndicate as an honorarium bove his salary and expenses. This, I imagine, is very rare, but instances where lesser amounts are given are of frequent occurrence in this country. he second case is that of a newspa correspondent who acted for a London paper in the Soudan. Herbert Maxwell was sent out to the Soudan by the Standard, and just before he went he told me that ‘it would be his first experience as War cor- respondent. and he had some fears as to his ability to cope with the veteran specials like Charles Williams of the Daily Chron. ‘le and Knight of the Times. He started June, and after Kitchener's campaign S over was sent to Palestine to report kaiser’s movements. His paper was so 1 pleased with the work he did that on his return home a few days ago he received a check for £2.000 as honor: um. A few years ago Mr. Maxwell was reporting for & provincial newspaper, and for about a year before he adopted the more dangerous calling of war correspondent undertook spe- The newspaper fraternity is not nearly so fluctuating in this country as in Amer- ica. Men secure positions on papers and, as a rule, keep them until old age or death tnakes a change necessary. And old age here means the armchair period with we, The tendency here, as in America, runs to unger men in ‘responsible places, but many more old men are employed than it is usual to find in similar positions in the United Sta It is, however, becoming harder for men over sixty to find employe Tent if they ever get out. But it is the ex. ception to find anywhere in Great Britain men under sixty managing bank, insurance or newspaper properties or any of the tm. portant industries. L. H.

MEXICO’S ORACLE. Rales Over a Trihe That is Centuries Behind the Times. From the Two Bepubjics. As is well known to all who have looked into the matt cafefully—for instance, such men as Lumholiz, Starr and Soville—there are in remote parts of Mexico today to be found portion’ of tribes of Indians who are practically ag much given to Idolatry, su- perstition and witchcraft as were their for- bears in thé vamished years when the gieaming banner df Castle and Aragon glanced amid‘the peaks and valleys of Mex- ico, announcthg the advent of a stronger race and more victorious falth. The other day, While making a Mttle trip over the Interoceaiiic, that runs through so many pictutesqué Indian towns, I hap- be to meetin one of these villages a very intelligent Indian, who told me the follow- ing. Whether it ‘Is true or not I do not know—"T tell the tale as ‘twas told to me.’ He said that on the northern slope of Popo- catepetl, near the foot, there is a large cave almost unknown to the outside world. In this cave lives an old white-haired Indian who is the oracle of a small tribe of In- dians in that vicinity, whose language 1s unlike that of any of the nelghboring towns. This little tribe has never been conquered either by the Spaniards or by the chureh or by the modern government of the repub- Mc. ‘The Indians have preserved all their old customs and traditions until this day, and are practically as they were 400 years ago. One of the very curious Institutions among them Is that of the oracle, or seer, who-dwells In the above-mentioned cave all alone. He is always the oldest and wisest man of the trihe, He Is looked upon with the same superstitious reverence as were the oracles of Dodona and Delphos In the boyhood of the world. In that cave are pre- served rare gems of curiously carved emer- alds, such as the great “‘Malinche” sent home to Spain; idols of gold and silver and copper and stone, pearl necklaces from the far-off Gulf of California, and strange robes of feather work, of which but very few ex- amples are known today outelde the pages of Sabagun, Prescott or Clavigero. ‘There are also ranged In fitting order the ancient gods of this strange people, of whom this old man is the high priest. Once a month a commission of the oldest men of the tribe visits the cave and takes with It, in the name of the people, offerings of frult and flowers and entables and incense in honor of the gods and their oracle. Upon all affadrs of importance to the tribe this old man is consulted, and his judg- ments are as those of the Medes and the Persians. I asked whether it would be possible to visit him or not and was told no one, not even members of the same tribe, outside the before-mentioned “commission,” had ever seen the inside of that strange and Tuys- terious cave. My Informant told me that at a certain point all persons are stopped by a guard and told that they can proceed no further upon pain of death. And this is not a tale of 400 years ago, but cf to- day. ‘The tribe and the cave are at the north side of Popocatepetl and every Saturdoy In Atlixco members of this tribe are at the rket to buy and sell their simple ni t Is enough to see th the great difference m: saries of life. realize at once be- tween them and the other Mexican Ind:ens who are to be seen there at that time. only is their style of clothing very atfer- ent, but alsu their language. se = ee The achievement of a Strasburg lady who has just accomplished a cons ble moun- nascent at the age of seventy-five recalls the fact that the first of all the lady moun- taineers (Mile. d’Augeville) continued climb- ing almost equally late in life.
