THE ATiCTRA. AT FAULT.
London Decision In the Case of the
Ancyro-Heatlifield Collision.
The worst disaster which any of last
season's grain fleet from Portland en
countered was that of the Ancyra, which
collided -with the British bark Heathfleld'
a few days after leaving the Columbia
River. Both vessels were seriously dam
aged, and put Into San Francisco for re
pairs. The case came up for adjustment
In London, and the last Issue of Falrplay
prints the following:
"ThlSK collision occurred In the North
Pacific. The bark Ancyra was bound

by the Weather cross-Jack braces. The
Hfeathfield's red light was brought well
clear ou the port bow, and the order as to
the weather braces waa countermanded.
Suddenly., however, the Heathfield opened
her greett light and shut in her red, and,
although loudly hailed to put her helm
down, sjhe came on, and with her Jib
boom struok the Jigger rigging and
spanker boom of the Ancyra, and then
ran 4n9 her poet quarter, greatly dam
aging her. It was contended that the
Heathfield was not keeping a good look
out, and neglected to keep her course and
speedJ and afterwards failed to- put her
helmdown. It was maintained In de
fense that a good , look-out was not kept
On the Ancyra, that she wrongfully at-tem-ptodJtoross
ahead of the Heathfield,
and at an Improper time ported her helm.
His Lordship (Mr. Justice Barnes) held
that the Ancyra was not keeping a prop

pronounced her alone to blame."

BEGGAR KINGS IN CHINA.
They Are the Head's of Guilds Whose
Petitions Are Commands.
London Express.
If you want to grow rich In China be
come the "head of a guild of beggars,
thieves, or lepers.
Nankin, Pekln and Tien Tsin are the
headquarters of the most powerful of
these guilds, and their rulers are wealthy
and respected. The "king" of a clan of
Chinese vagabonds of tnese classes de
rives his Income from a tribute rendered
him by his wretched subjects, and also
levies a sort of blackmail on traders and
merchants by undertaking to keep their
shops, stores, and houses free from the
particular pests which he controls.
From these two sources he realizes a
large Income, and is enabled to live in a
large house, and keep up great style In his
mode of life. Each clan nas a particular
utstrict of the city given over to Its oper
ation, beyond which Its members are for
bidden to stray.
Horrible self-mutilations are practiced
by the beggars of China In order that
their deformities may exclta compassion
ana leaa to profit. If you see a blind
man soliciting alms in a Chinese street.
it la 10 to 1 that he has himself destroyed
his sight. On certain days the beggars
go about In gangs of from 50 to 150. On
these occasions shopkeepers are only too
glad to comply with tne "king's" de
mands for blackmail, In order that his
subjects may De Kept out of their shops.
A king of Chinese thieves knows every
thing that goes on In his district. He
knows who committed certain thefts, and
where the stolen property Is. He, like
his brother of the beggars, has a double
source of income. A large percentage of
the profits made by his subjects is claimed
by him, and woe betide them If they at
tempt to cheat the autocrat. And, If
a foreigner is robbed, he generally can.
by paying the "king" a certain sum, re
cover his property. Property stolen from
Chinamen Is never brought back.
Every Chinese city has a leper house
outside Its gates, and most of them have
two or more. As In the cases of the beg
gars and thieves, there Is an executive
head, called the "king of the lepers,"
who controls all lepers and makes rules
and compacts, which must be observed.
xnese unfortunates are numerous through
out the empire. When in the first stage
of the disease they are brought to the
leper houses. Good carets taken of them
as long as their relatives can meet the
demand of the "king."
But no matter how wealthy their. fami
lies may De, the "king" eventually drains
them of every penny, and both the leper
ana his relatives often have to. turn beg
gars. The poorer lepers are assigned to
miserable, unclean huts, providing poor
shelter against bad weather.

Bum. of 9101,600.
CINCINNATI, Nov. 19. The expert
who have been working today with Re
ceiver Tucker on the books of the Ger
man National Bank at, Newport, Ky.t
place the shortage of Frank W. Brown,
the mlsslngv assistant cashier and Indi
vidual, bookkeeper, at 8191,500. According
to reports from those who were with
Brown when he left last Tuesday night,
he had less than 8500 with him. Brown's
salary was only 81500 per year. 'Cases
are now cited where he spent more than
that amount In one day. His bondwas
for 810,000, and It is good as far as 'it
goes. United States District Attorney
Hill will arrive tomorrow from Paducah,
when it is said criminal proceedings will
be begun. The Federal detectives . have
cerjtaln persons under surveillance, and
there are reports tonight about arrests
that will follow on the arrival of District
Attorney H11L During the run on the
German National Bank last Saturday,
8200,000 was secured In Cincinnati to bridge
ovqr the trouble. This was returned to-,
day, and Receiver Tucker had other mon
eys and papers also transferred to Cin
cinnati. Brown's system required a wonderful
memory. The experts say he carried In
his head the figures that enabled him to
call on! correctly a lot of false entries in
a way to throw the clerks who were do
ing the "checking" with him oft the
track. A depositor would put in 83100,
Brown would enter the proper amount of
the deposit In one book and enter it as
8100 In another. He would take the dlf-.
ference, 83000, himself. Then, when it
came to checking up, he would handle
one of the books. Another clerk would
check and Brown would call off. Instead
of calling 8100, which appeared .as the
amount of the deposit on the book which
he was handling, he would call It as 83100,
thus making it correspond with the boot
in the hands of the other clerk.
He also, It Is alleged, worked it in an
other way. A depositor would draw out
8100. Brown, would make the proper en
try In one book and enter 83100 In anoth
er. When the depositor had his account
checked up, the figures were taken front
the book in which the correct entry had
been made. When the bank officials
looked to see what amount was due the
depositors .they were given their in
formation from the books, which showed
that 83100 had been withdrawn. Brown
had memorized all the individual ac
counts, and the experts found no private
marks of any kind on the books. The
general ledger was kept correctly, and
balanced with the cash, while the Indi
vidual ledger. It is alleged, was fixed to
suit Brown's purposes, the former being
the one that the bank officials examined.
StochJiolders' Meeting Called.
CINCINNATI, Nov. 19. The directors
of the German National Bank at New
port, Ky., Issued a call for a meeting of
stockholders Wednesday, at which time a
proposition will' be presented for such an
assessment as will Insure the re-opening
of the bank at ah early date, and, if
possible, prevent the appointment of a
permanent receiver to wind up the af
fairs of the concern. The heaviest de
positors have already agreed to withhold
all claims.
Appointment of a Receiver.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 19. Controller of
the Currency Dawes has appointed Oliver
P. Tu,cker, .National Bank Examiner, tem

Bank of Newport, Ky. Mr. Tucker tele
graphed the Controller that he had taken
charge, owing to the discovery of avde
falcaUon amounting to about .8195,000, and
thereupon the controller appointed him.
temporary recelyer. The ofllclals here
consider it astonishing that a defalcation
amounting to more than the reserve of
the bank, could have remained undiscov

tempt to offer no explanation, as Mr.
Tucker has not yet furnished any details.

TOPSY-TURVYDOM.
China Is the True Land of "Through
the Looking-Glass."
London News.
One canont help feeling that W. 8.
Gilbert, with all his genius J or evolving
topsyrturvy ideas and impossible situa
tions, has missed , a fertile field of- ob
servation in China, for in that land of
eccentricities and surprises everything
Is "contrariwise," as Tweedledee would
style it- I had. not been many days in
Shanghai before I discovered that China
Is indeed an empire of the dead Instead
of the living, as a recent author has
pointedly remarked. Its glories are all
In the past Instead of In the present tor
future, and It rejoices In the fact. Al
though China gave- birth to the man
who first produced gunpowder, the in
ventor of the marlner'B compass and
the discoverer of movable type, none of
these inventions was ever profitably util
ized. It was proper for awlse man to
make the discoveries, but It was entire
ly Improper for a wiser man to im
prove upon them. J. D. Ball, a humor
ous and caustic observer, remarka that
a -Chinaman laughs when he tells you
his fathers or mother," brother .or sister
Is dead. On the other hand, a bride that
did not wall throughout the ' marriage
ceremony as if she were the chief mourn
er at a funeral would be considered a
fraud.
I remember its being Impressed upon
mo when in China that Kipling was per
fectly right when he said that you must
never "hustle In the East." You may call
a dozen times on a man with whom,
you 'wish to do business, and he will talk
about the weather" and the health of
your relatives and a score of trivialities,'
without once approaching the real sut
Ject-matter at issue. Suddenly, in the
dead of some night, he will eagerly re
quest the honor of your presence and
fix up your deal then and there. When
your are merely chatting with him, your
Chinese friend will ask your age and
compliment you on being old; he will
want to know your salary, income or
what you are worth, and make various,
other polite inquiries which we consider
impertinent. On the other hand, it Is
better for you not to ask after his wife
or daughter. He will trot out his sons
with pride for your inspection, but he
ware of complimenting him on the
shubby cheeks and healthy appearance
of his baby boy, as any accident or ail
ment happening to befall the youngster
would infallibly be laid at your door.
You have doffed your hat on entering,
but he has put on his to receive you, and
places you on his left as a mark of
honor. He locates the Beat of Intellect
In the stomach, and If there is some
thing that he canont recollect, he will
tap or scratch any part of his anatomy
rather than his head. He will perhaps
show you With pride the set of coffin
boards presented to him by his dutiful
son. He shakes his own hands Instead
of claspjng. ypura, and in lieu of speed
ing his parting guest his farewell to you
Is, "Walk jslawly," y v
I remember traveling .from. Shanghai
to Soo Chow and the great Yahgtse
Kiang River by way of the ,800 Chow
Creek and the Grand Canal It is an
extraordinary fact, but though the flow
oU the former, is indubitably southward,
and we proceeded up stream, the further
we ascended the river the wider it be
came I cannot explain it, except on the
hypothesis that China is the true land
of "through the looking-glass," where
everything is contrariwise. Lewis Car
roll would have been much interested to
learn that one of his whimsicalities, the
cleaning of boots with whiting Instead
of blacking, as with us, 'is religiously
observed in principle in the Flowery

soles are carefully whitened. As a gen
eral rule the women wear socks and the
men stockings. Battledore and shuttle
cock Is played by us with both hands, but
a -Chinaman uses his foot and kicks the

In Chinese books the end is the begin
ning, and the beginning is the end; tho
lines of printing are perpendicular In
stead or horizontal, as with Western na
tions. Footnotes are on the top margin
(except the Irishism), or occur, in the
body of the text, and, the title Is on the
edge. The Chinese compass points to the
south, not to the north, and instead of
talking about northwest, northeast, south
east and southwest they say westnorth,
eastnorth, eastsouth and westsouth.
Fractions with them are turned upside
down, and Instead of f our-sevenths a Chi
naman will say sevenths-four.
Lastly, we may note that -man is the
beast pf burden in a great part of, China,
and not only does the coolie carry his
fellow-creature, but will even perform the
same office for his pig.
Hunting: Bir4s With a 'Camera.
The World's Work.
Only at first did the twners of the war
blers' nest object-to my Intruding, and by
various mefihods did they try to coax me
away from their home. First one and
then the other would feign broken wlnga,
and, half rolling, half scrambling, they
would make their way dpwn the .steep
hillside, in the hope of luring me-away.
Then, finding that I was not to he tak
en in even by Euch anartful deylce, they
endeavored to accomplish their object by
scolding at me. In less than two hours
they quieted dTVn and simply looked on
in silence. The next time T visited the
nest they made no objection, and JL ini
eglned they recognized me, and realized
that I meant "no harm, either to them
selves or to their young, for these 'had
hatched1 since my last visit Day by day
I came to watch the little fellows, and
they grew rapidly, as all young birds do.
Finally they were ready to make their
first vinture into the great world that,
.should no accident befall them, was to
be their feeding- ground for many years
to come.
As I looked into the nest the family of
fledglings scrambled out, as though they
had been scattered by-some- Invisible hand,
so nearly simultaneous was their action,
and In less, time than It takes to tell It
each little nilte of down and rust-colored
feathers were hidden among the dead,
crackling leaves, with which , the ground
was .strewm Though I had tried my best
to watch where each bird had concealed
itself, it was some time before I collected
them all, preparatory to photographing
them. Of course the parents were greatly
excited birds always are when their
young' first leave the-nest and when they
saw fh'e entire brood captured by one
whom they had considered a friend tjiey
seemedto regret, having placed so much
confidence 1a me. But only for a very
short time did their doubts continue. As
soon as I placed the youngsters on a suit
ableperch they both ceased to utter that
lisping 'note of anxious protestation, and,
toshow that they no longer fearedAme,
they chopped . about-on -the camera while
I "was-'arranging it. , .

young' man was made comfortable In the
absence of surgeons, by the trainmen
bandaging up his leg and placing him on
tho Albany local for Portland. Quite a
fall of snow and sleet made the ground
quite 'slippery, which was no doubt the
cause of the accident.

TOLD BY WASHINGTON POLITICIANS
Why Bryan Was Defeated, and tho
Future of Democracy.
OLYMPIA, Nov. 16. Governor Rogers,
Assistant Attorney-General Vance and
Supremo Judge W. H. White were asked
for their opinions as to William J. Bry
an's defeat In the recent Presidential
election, and, as prominent members of
the Democratic party, what, in their
opinion, should be the policy of that par
ty in the future.
Governor Rogers' reasons for Bryan's
defeat are as follow: "The cause of Bry
an's defeat is the fact that he was too
radical in the stand taken. Morally and
ethically, he was right, but It is now a
proven fact that he was far in advance
of the majority. In order to be successful-at
the polls nothing can be advocated
which does not meet with the approval,
not only -of advanced thinkers, but of
that great majdrity easily Influenced by
immediate surroundings. Burke, the
English statesman, long ago laid it down
as a fundamental proposition that" in the
government of a people not abstract right
but expediency must be followed. When
Iflrst read this I was disposed to doubt
its correctness, but sorrowful experience
has convinced me of the substantial truth
of the statement"
Attorney-General Vance gives the fol
lowing reasons for the losing flght of
the Democratic candidate: "A general
belief among the voters that any change
In the Federal Government might Inter
rupt the comparatively .prosperous con
ditions existing. A determined combina
tion of capital to prevent no Individual
of avowed opinions against trusts to be
elected President. A disinclination of the
general public west of the Missouri Riv
er to throw down a war Administration."
Mr. Vance believes the future of the
Democratic party should and will be a
steady adherence to Its policy in oppo
sition to imperialism and militarism In
any form, from the importation of AsIaU
lc labor to combinations of capital in
trade. He is also of .tne opinion that tho
monetary reform as announced in the
Chicago and Kansas platforms will con
tinue to be a paramount issue."
Supreme Judge White said: "I think Mr.
Bryan'B position on the question of the
retention of the Philippine Islands lost
him many thousand votes In the State
of Washington and throughout the Na
tion. On this question the old soldiers
and their friends they could Influence
were against Mr. Bryan and the Demo
cratic platform. As to the policy of the
Democratic party in the future, I think
it should drop all this talk about free
silver and wbrk for live issues."
IDENTITY OF OMAHA SUICIDE.
An Alaska Mining: Man How He
Came to Have Seattle Banlc Drafts.
SEATTLE, Nov. 19. Acting Chief of
Police Meredith today ascertained the

bank, and had certified checks for the
amount In his- possession when he ended
his life.
. George McCord, of this city, knew tho
suicide, and met him while he was quar
tered at the Hotel Northern. McCord has
no idea what prompted Wilson to self
destruction, as his business affairs ap
peared to have been In excellent shape.

I The Pet Coyote
Helena Huffaker In St. Nichols
The coyote-wolf, prairie-wolf, or cofftey
as it is often called, burrows la th
ground, where It lives and stays through,
the day, and there the young are rared.
When this little wolf referred to was
caught, the Indian, boys killed ita-saethe
and then dug up this little fellow, to
gether with three or four sisters a&d
brothers, and brought them In for Mia
as pets. v My jllttla- playmate's parent
bought this one, and my little playmata
and myself had great times muffing
friends with It and teaching It how to
drink milk. Of course. It was very tlml4
and shy at first, and for two or three
days would eat nothing at sUll but W$
would dip our fingers in warm ptflk &&&
then let it suck our fingers, and In thl
way It became very friendly, though)
when we first attempted to go near It It
would snap and snarl at us, and dlsplaywS"
a very "vicious nature. Soon It cam to1
know my little playmate, and afterward,
became a very affectionate pet; but to
stranger and to the. other domestic pets
It would-never be friendly and woM
rather-sneakj away by itself than, to stay
around and be sociable. It was always
very fond of fresh meat, and finally be
came very mischievous, catching and kill
ing little chickens. It also bit my play-'
mate once or twice, though not severely;)
so- it was. decided best to give him away.
This waa done, and we. learned that sooa?;
after It. died. Wa did not grieve over lx
very much, because It was not nearty the
comforjt that a great soany other wild
pets are.
