Extent of our Postal Operations in

WASHINGTON, April 5. Some idea
of our postal operations in China is
given in the first formal report which
has just reached here from Superintend
ent Robinson, of the United States Mlll
iaiy Postal Service- in China. It COVers
the period "between September 18 and De
cember 1, ,1903. The report says that
during the period covered there were $22,
219 worth o money orders Issued, but
only two paid, these aggregating $145.
Stamp sales aggregated $2239, mostly at
Pekln. All registered matter to and from
the United States forces in China is re
ceived, recorded or dispatched by the
Tien Tsin station. Of the registered
malls so dispatched, 547 were first- class
and 3425 fourth class. The large amount
of fourth class matter indicates the lib
eral manner in which the American sol
diers took advantage of the special rates
for sending gifts and souvenirs to their
families in the United States. The total
amount of all mall received at Tien Tsin
was 102.O4S, and dispatched, 169,282. Only
130 letters had to be sent to the dead let
ter office.

A LAWYER'S FIRT CASE.
He Lost It and Felt Bad, but Later
Was Happier.
The Philadelphia Record.
This Is a true tale of the Budding Law
yer and his First Client: Their meeting
was quite by chance. The Budding Law
yer had not yet hung out his shingle. The
First Client had been accused of stealing
and pawning a watch, and his employer,
who was a neighbor of the Budding Law
yer, sent for him and explained the situ
ation. "He has been my coachman for 10
years," said the neighbor. "He is perfect
ly honest." The Budding Lawyer took the
case, and had a long talk with the First
Client, who was a colored man. The
Judge was much pleased with the Bud
ding Lawyer's earnestness, but he be
lieved the prisoner guilty, and did not
hesitate to tell the jury jfo. The First
Client went to jail for three months, and
the Budding Lawyer felt that his 'career
was blasted.
Day and night the terrible miscarriage
of justice haunted him. He did not hang
out his shingle. Three months passed
slowly, and he was walking dejectedly
through a public square the other day.
when he came face to face with the First
Client, looking prosperous and well fed.
A terrible suspicion revolved itself into a
ray of hope. The First Client tried to
dodge him, but it was too late. "I s'pose
you am aftah yoah fee, MIstah Lawyah,
but you see" "Never mind the fee;-It is
nothing," said the Budding Lawyer." "But
tell me this: Did you steal that watch?"
The First Client was silent for a moment,
and then said: "MIstah Lawyer, de less
we say 'bout dat de bettah." A great
load seemed lifted from the breast of the
Budding Lawyer. He became a new man,
hung out his shingle, and is now cheer
fully waiting for the second client

Origrin of "The Garter."
London Chronicle.
Now that the Order of the Garter has
after the lapse of centuries been con
ferred again upon a royal lady, it is not
uninteresting to recall the origin of the
proua title. Regarding this there has been
almost as much controversy as the date
of its foundation "The vulgar and more
general story." as Ashmole calls It, re
lates to the Countess of Salisbury's gar
ter, but commentators are not agreed
as to which particular Countess of Salis
bury was the heroine of the supposed
Incident. The gentle Ashmole himself
does not altogether reject the popular
origin, for he writes: "The King may
have picked up a garter at some solemn
ball or festivity, the Queen's garter, as
some have said, while, she, and not he
made use of the memorable words, 'Hon!
solt qui mal y pense "
But the nobler legend, which Is not
derogatory to the founder of the order
or "too trifling a foundation for so great
a building," as one historian puts It, is
that contained in the preface to the reg
ister of the knights, compiled In the reign
of Henry VIIL It recounts that Richard
I, while his forces were employed against
Cyprus and Acre, as a means of animat
ing with renewed courage, his fatigued
soldiers, tied about the legs of a number
of his chosen knights a leathern throng
or garter to make them marked men,
whom his forces might follow to victory;
probably a suggestion of the war office
of that day. At any rate, this incident
Is supposed to have been in the mind
of Edward III when he fixed on the garter
as the emblem of the order which has
ever since been the climax of British
knighthood.
NEW TORK, April 5. A dispatch to
the Herald from Paris says:
An Interview with Mr. Kruger appears
in the Matin. The ex-President of the
Transvaal was seen in a modest little Inn
at Utrecht, where he Is staying for the
moment. His eyes have been very much
Improved by recent operations, and he
can now dispense with spectacles. Sit
ting In front of a table with a Bible"
under his left hand. Mr. Kruger deliv
ered himself of an Important statement,
to which further significance was given
by the- presence of the Orange Free State
Delegate, Herr Fischer.
Mr. Kruger began by announcing that
Saturday next he proposes retiring into
the country for complete rest. The little
village of Hilbersum, not far from
Utrecht, has bperi selected for his abode".
Nothing has jn, been decided regarding
his trip to .America. Mr. Kruger will
undertake the journey if his strength
permit? and' if" there Is any hope of
gaining advantage for the Eoer cause.
Pointing to iiHerr Fischer, the aged
Pres.ldenti declared that the two repub
lics are indlssolubly united.
"Htrr ischer,'he said, "is fighting for
the ame .cause.as my heroic friend Pres
ident Sreyn. 'The two Presidents and
the' twoc Commanding Generals, Botha
and Dewet, -wlll share the same fate."
On being Questioned regarding the re
liance he placed on the Boer official tele
grams, and statements In Parliament, Mr.
Kruger, half rising from his arm chair,
declared:
"The British Government, British tele
graph and the British press always try
to make this much" and he measured his
little finger "look like this much" and
he extended both arms.
"I am persuaded everything is going
well there precisely because our enemies
continue to dissimulate and travesty
facts. As regards General Botha's nego
tiations, the public knows from the blue
book and by reading General Botha's last
dispatch that it was the British General
who first made proposals. Never did the
Boer General refuse to listen. We do not
fiehfc. except for peace. We are not con
querors, but, although General Botha
listened to the British proposals, he never
uttered a word of equivocation on the
subject of independence. Independence
is the only treasure we cherish, even if
we have to sacrifice all others. It is for
this reason our citizens forsook their
farms and sacrificed their lives, and our
women and children now suffer tempo
rary servitude' in the enemy's camp.
'And," added the President with still
more emphasis, "if the English were not
blind, If 'they considered their own inter,
ests well, if they were not hopelessly en
slaved by error and Injustice, they would
recognize the Independence we demand
because In the hope of safeguarding it
we shall be ready to make many conces
sions and sacrifices, and moreover it
would assure peace forever in South
Africa."
The subject of arbitration being next
broached, Mr. Kruger expressed his en
tire readiness to submit all questions to
the arbitrament of an impartial tribunal.
not even excepting the question of In
dependence "We would sacrifice our liberty, he
said. "If tht, verdict of arbitration de
cided, that one or th'e, other., o'f the, repub
lics hajl done anything to forfeit it. But
on that point we are at ease'."
Here the Bible was invoked, Mr. Kru-,
ger reading a passage from the Psalms
In which David calls upon the Lord and
asks if there be any spot or blemish in
him or whether he had committed any
misdeed.
"But, like David," he said, "we have
known that we are less impure than our
aggressors, and that our cause Is holy
and Just, Therefore, we fear not the
judgment of the just, and rely on the
mercy of God."
British atrocities was the next topic
of conversation. Mr. Kruger expatiated
on the terms of the manifesto issued by
Steyn and Dewet.
"I have myself witnessed the bru
tality with which tlfe British have waged
war against us," he said, "they have
acted like savages, and on their own con
fession have been assisted by savages
whom they had armed.
"They have once more merited the re
Droach heaped upon their fathers by old
Chatham at the time of the war of Amer
ican Independence. Our enemies have
violated all the laws of war between civ
ilized nations. They have outraged lib
erty without regard to the lives of non
combatants, and pillaged ttnd burned pri
vate property. They have treated as reb
els men who were known to be citizens of
the belligerent country. They have not
even spared women and children, those
sacred beings who are declared neutral
and inviolate by all International codes.
They have slavishly imitated the proceed
ings which excited universal indignation
when practiced In Cuba by a Spanish Gen
eral, for which Spain was cruelly pun
ished. "Everything that has been said respect
ing the horrors of war as waged by the
English legions Is far below the truth. I
declare and history will bear . me out
when It ceases to be falsified that peo
ple will shudder when they learn the de
tails of all the atrocities that we have
suffered. The South African War has
been on the part of the English a perpetual
defiance of the Geneva convention. To
a much greater extent than their refusal
to accept any Intervention is their de
fiance, of The Hague convention."
Referring to General Dewefs raid Into
Cape Cplony, Mr1;. ,Kruger denied that it
-was ever hoped to'1 provoke a general ris
ing, j'
"We,knofr perfectly well that this will
be Impossible, because, of the lack of
munitions and "arms, as well as the diffi
culty of combined action over such
enormous distances. But the invasion
demonstrated that the Afrikanders were
everywhere favorable to our cause and
ready to afford any heip within their
power.
"President Steyn and General Dewet had
however, a different object In view, and
they attained it. They were able to obtain
plentiful supplies of food and horses.
Moreover, these brave allies operated 'a
diversion which allowed General Botha to
escape from a tight position in the east
of the Transvaal. They compelled the
English to spread their forces over the
enormous distances and to recognize the
fact that the Boers were masters in the
field. These results are surely not to be
despised. The English' cannot be masters
of the two republics; they fare not even
undisturbed at the Cape and In Natal."
Mr. Kruger next dealt with the question
of the mines, where work is now said to
have been resumedr ..He declared that so
long as he was master In Pretoria .the
mines were safeguarded and work was
continued.
"It Is only since the British occupation
that the property has deteriorated and all
work has ceased. Everybody should know
that as long as we could we remained.
faithful guardians of this International
trust, carrying our scruples so far even
as to respect the mlcs which arej the
cause of all our misfortunes.''
In 'conclusion, Mr. Kruge declared that
far from being .exhausted the Boer 'com
mandos were able to go on fighting in
definitely. .
"We haye combatants, arms and am
munition in sufficient quantities. It is
useless to hope to reduce lis by lassitude
or extermination."
' He ended by expressing thanks to Prov
idence for the manifold complications
with which the British Empire is now be
set at other points of the globe, which
one day will compel them to release their
prey.

Free Trade a Remedy for Trusts.
LONDON, April 6. The Dally Mail, in
the course of an extended article on the

and declares that J. Plerpont Morgan has
appropriated 5200,000,000 to crush Ameri
can Independent concerns. "The opera

"may induce general tariff legislation by
Europe and will certainly consolidate the
British steel and iron trades, which will

Pipers of the Pools.

Pipers of the chilly pools.
Pipe the April In;
Summon all the singing hosts,-
All the wilding- kin.
Through the cool and teeming damp
Of the twilight air.
Call till all the April children
Answer everywhere.
From your cold and fluting throats,
Pipe the world awake.
Pipe the mold to move again,
Pipe the sod to break.
Pipe the mating song of earth.
And tho fecund Are
Love and laughter, pang and dream.
Desire, desire, desire.
Then a wonder shall appear,
Miracle of time;
Up through root and germ and sapwood,
Life shall climb and climb.
Then tho hiding things shall hear you
And the sleeping stir.
And the far-off troops of exlla
Gather to confer;
Then the rain shall kiss the bud.
And the sun the bee
Till they all, the painted echlldren,
Wing by flower get free;
And amid the shining grass
Ephemera arise.
And the wlldflowers in the hollow
Open starry eyes;
And delight comes in to whisper
"Soon, soon, soon.
Earth shall be but one wild blossom
Breathing to the moon."
