. Germany has always been anxious to
obtain territory in the far East. Her
citizens who have established - them
selves in China have been especially

Chicago, Nov. 23. American Chinese
and native-born Chinese will appeal to
congress for tne rigbtof suffrage and ask
that body to repeal the Geary anti-Cbi
nese law passed in 1832.
meeting will be held, at
ball next Saturday, and prominent Chi
nese from all over the country will ad
dress the meeting.
They will declare that . wrongs have
been inflicted upon them since they
have been refused the right of citizen
ship, 'and will ask the aid of the people
of the United- States to help them in
. their cause.
This, it is said, will be the first time
that the Chinese ehall have openly de
clared themselves. They have organized
the Chinese Rights Club of America.
Wong Chin Foo is president of the or
ganization.'
In an interview he said :
"We want Illinois, the place that Lin
coin, Grant and Logan called their home,
to do for the Chinese what the North
did for the negroes.
"Why, should we not have a voice in
municipal and national affairs the same
as other foreigners? There are 50,000
Chinese in this countrv desirous of be
coming citizens.
"In 1892 an Outrageous law was passed
by songress. By that law the rights and
liberties of nearly 230,000 lawful and in
dustrious citizens were swept away. We
will now ask congress to restore to. us
the sovereign rights we once enjoyed,
which are now held by every other race
who come here. . . .

New Yoek, Nov. 23. The prices of
green and roasted coffee are now lower
than ever before. Rio No. 7 on the spot
is quoted at 6J 'cents a pound. The
mark on futures has also gone down 15
points, owing to the steady increase in
thevisible supply in the United States,
which is larger than ever before In the
history of the trade, being more than
1,000,000 bags. The price of green cof
fee a year ago was 10 cents and that of
roasted 16 cents. The margin between
the two varities has therefore been re
duced from 5a to 2 cents. In other
words cut in two.
The price of roasted coffee in packages

rendered their residence in Cbinaalmost son Spice Company has fallen to 9 cents

New YOEK Nov. 24. A Washington
special to tbe Tribune 'says :
. The Cuban and tbe currency questions
will be the leading topicB if) the presi
dent's message. It is said that the die
cossion of the Cuban question will be
comprehensive. It has already .been ex
plained what the state department has
prepared in reply to the Spanish note
regarding filibustering. Whether the
president will incorporate tbe substance
ot this in his message or leave it to -go
in as part of tbe regular diplomatic cpr
respondence may be determined later,
but the mesaags will define fhe Cuban
policy ot the administration
Members of congress with whom the
preeident might freely have discussed
tbe'question, have almost without ex
ception said that this should be done,
and Mr.McKmley has apparently agreed
with them. ' '
Tbe reason given for the conclusion
is apparent. While a sincere hope is
entertained that the Sagasta Cabinet
may end be war at an early date, the
possibility of its failure cannot be over
estimated. In that event it is desirable
for the - policy of this country to be
known.
A strong intimation ' is given that in
case of failure of an end to the present
conditions in Cuba at an early' date no
hesitation will - be had in the United
States making known its position of ulti
mate intervention. Humanity and com
merce may both be made the grounds
for this action
The belief is that the Cuban problem
will be solved througt the good offices of
this country, but the expectation is that
these good offices will be executed with
in a reasonable time after congress
meets, and after the intentions of the in
surgents as to accepting or rejecting an
tonomy are Known beyond a question
If Cuba is actually pacific and industry
and trade are resumed, that condition is
expected to speak for its self,
The refusal of a few insurgent leaders
to lay down their arms and the con tin
nance a sort of bandit ' warefare wonld
not be interprited by the administration
as the failure of autonomy. On the oth
er hand, the continuance of the present
conditions would hardly be accepted as
evidence that the island has been pact
fied
' There is said to be a misunderstanding
in Spanish official circles regarding the
position of the administration if the de
cree of autonomy is gazetted. ' The ad
ministration would not under any cir
cumstances undertake to guarantee au
tonomy. That would be making ' itself
responsible for the Cuban colonial gov
ernment to the Spanish authorities.
. But the president's good offices are ex
tended toward giving the policy of an
tonomy a-fair 'trial. Tbe mersage is ex
pected to make this clear beyond the
possibility of misunderstanding.
It is the confident belief that tbe pres-
dent's discussion of the Cuban situation
will tend to strengthen the feeling that
Lousignont and Berger stationed the par
ty on runaways at the river, and then
took the. dogs up in the hills to hunt out
the game. The men. at the stations
waited until night, when Lousignont
and Berger sot returning, they went to
the cabin, but it was vacant. The two
missing men had not. been' found up to
Sunday last. As a terrible storm was
raging, it is thought they are either,lost
or have perished.
On Saturday last one of .the dogs re
turned with a suspender tied around its
neck. Some think the knot contained a
message, while others think the animal
went . to some ' homesteader's cabin,
where it was tied 'up, later breaking
away.

the missing hunters. '

Asks Russia to Help Her.
New York, Nov. 23. A . Washington
. special to the Herald says-:
China has appealed to Russia to oust
Germany from her territory as a result
of occupation by tbe German force of a
part of the Shan Tung peninsula. As
the Russian secretary, Count Cassini,
the minister . has been transferied to
Washington as the diplomatic represen
tative of Cussia, the negotiations on tbe
subject are being carried on in St. Pe
tersburg. - It is hoped by tbe Chinese
that the influence exerted by Russia
which prevented tbe rehabilitation of
tbe Turkish navy 'will be exercised on
Germany with equal success in tbe mat
ter of the occupancy of the Chinese ter
ritory, -
Notwithstanding tbe efforts of the
Chinese government to get Germany to
' name a date when she wonld withdraw
ber forces, the German government bas
taken no step in the matter, and the
fear is expressed in Eastern and Euro
pean diplomatic circles that her occu
pancy, if not permanent now, is simply
i preliminary to such an end.
A diplomat - thoroughly conversant

One afternoon last summer I wu
standing . on . the great suspension.
Bridge just below Niagara falls look- -ing
at the gTeat cataract and admiring'
the wonderful colors of the green and
blue river 200 feet below. Several work
men were engaged in : painting - the
bridge, and I became interested in their
operations. It required no little , en
gineering skill to rig up an apparatus
by which to enable a painter'to traverse
the giant guy rope cables which -radiate
from the center of the bridge, fan
shape, -toward cither end of the struc
ture. : A painter's platform four feet
square wars suspended from .cue of these
cables by a trolley r-rrangement, a
grooved .wheel running on the cable.
By means of a rope attached to this
Ti'hecl a man on the bridge could draw
the platform from the river bank the
terminus cf the cable to'tbc bridge
above; and as the platform passed along
the cable a;workn:an sitting on a com
mon chair on the rlatform. would paint
the great iron rof-c above his head and
behind the "trolley wheel. '
I -was especialiy interested in the
work of a Swede, who, perched on a
small ijlatformwas painting one of tho
Canadian braces. 1'c had begun at the
end of the cable en ilie Canadian shore
far below, ai'd had been pulled up the
cable's steep incline toward the bridge
until perhaps two-thirds of his journey
bad been completed.- There was abso-'
lutely nothing but air between him and
the seething river 200 feet below; but"
there he sat, on ?. cw.hi "inn- platform, ,
methodiealh- plying- his brush and com- ;
plaeently r;inol:ir:g a elicrt clay pipe .
How it happened I don't know. But
the man on the briilge suddenly let the
rope slip out rf hie hards. There was a "
sharp cry of alarm from the ctartlfed
painter as the plctfcrm began to spin
down the incline, v.ith constantly: in- .
creasing lrtorne-itiira-.. It seemed as if
the poor fellow, must inevitably be
dashed against tlie .raeky precipice and '
tumble into the river a cengled corpse.
The slack of the rope on the bridge,
however,' became entangled around a '
brace and the perilous descent came to .
a sudden end. The flyrig platform
stopped witK' a jerk. The chaira pail
.of paint, a brush and a clay pipe went .
sailing into space. The painter caught
a corner of the platform just in time to '
save himself from following them. -
Two minutes later the platform had
been pulled "up to the bridge, and the
Swede was given a chance to stretch -his
'legs again in safety. The man on
the bridge had not a word to say. He
was as pale as a corpse and trembled
like a leaf. But the Swede did have
something to say, and he said it with
out the slightest tremor of emotion in
his voice. "You," he remarked. :"Ay

Almost at first glance one woul-1

she stalked into the grocery with her.
little white hands firing- closed over a
brand new poeketbook, a eclf-satisfied '
smile hovering cbout the corners of
her pretty mouth arid a general air of
self-confidence about her; everyone took
time to gaze upon the fair creature.
But it was apparent that the role was
an entirely new one to her. She had
assumed a matronly look, but it did not
harmonize with ber real self. . '
She was not attired in a way to lead
one to think that she had recently been
led to the altar. - There were no grains
of rice in ber hair, nor were there any
old shoes attached to her person; still
there was something that plainly
stamped her ' "bride."
She wanted very-much to conceal ber .
new position in life, and even had
she succeeded in doing so by her action '
her visit to the grooer's would have
given the snap away.
The nnmatronly-looking young wom
an stumbled partly through her order,
and then she came to the item of ham.
She told the accommodating clerk tbatj
even though most people preferred ham .
a little fat, she did not want it that way,
because she "did not like fat beef in any'
shape."
And not a soul in tbe entire establish
