San aug - The Levrald- by E. Kiley. GRAND RAPIDS - MINNESOTA, the czar is going to give them the free- dom of Alsace-Lorraine’in a gold box; but it is impossible for his majesty to be up to that kind of snuff. : The Rey, Frank Vrooman of Chicago, who says he has been frozen out of one church and starved out of another, and that therefore he will go to the Klondike, is evidently fascinated with precisely that kind of misery. ered The story goes that the emperor slap- ped the face of a seaman and the sea-~ man struck back, and blacked the im- perial eye, and that thereupon the sea- man drowned himself. Let us hope the story is untrue. The'loss of a good seaman is a serious thing. Bui the theory that the black eye came from a rope’s end is certainly unfortunate, be- cause that ought naturally to have been applied to the imperial back. London has a crusade against hat- Pins.

The spe- cial embassy sent by the czar to Pekin is the most in evidence, but fully as significant is the removal of the Russo- Chinese Bank at Pekin to palatial new quarters. These will also house the Eastern Manchurian railway and along- side will be the mansions of the Rus- sian president and the Chinese vice- president of the railway. All these are intended to lavish hospitality, and as the Chinese are much impressed by the splendor of a nation’s representative, Russia will be easily first at the court of the middle kingdom, Russia’s diplo- macy has always been oriental, and this appeals far more to the Chinese than the inflexible but just policy of the English. In connection with diplo- macy, the Russo-Chinese Bank is a very important feature. The Manchu- rian Railway Company is about equally divided between Russian and Chinese officials, but all their quarters are equally palatial. The Chinese govern- ment has deposited 5,000,000 taels in the Russo-Chinese Bank, part of which will no doubt be applied te the payment of its share in the cost of construction of the railway. It is said also that the bank is an active competitor with Sheng Taotai for the projected railway line from Tien-Tsin to Pekin, and that it ‘has also offered to loan 500,000 taels to the government for the improvement of the Peito. with aged On flesh from ny. each Caps fifty The governments of Europe will do well to sequestrate anarchists on some small island, as proposed.
