THE WAR IN CHINA.
Washington, July liO, The effect of
tbe '. day's new v from China was to
freshen tbe hope that the government
can "noon get in direct communication
with Minister Conger, Tim mass of
testimony as to his being alive as late
as the 22d iuBt. is now so great as to
warrant Ihe department in resuming
consideiations of projects lit the future
With U i(9 anxiety to get Mr, Conger
and tbe AmericBns in Pekio safely away
thft department is -proceeding with
P roper precaution, and fa bv no means
disposed to accept any proposition that
Would unduly Jeopardise their, lives.
Such might be the xesu.lt, of an, off hand
acceptance of the proponal o have i the
Chinese government deliver the foreign
ministers at Tien Tsin, for it is realized
that the escort, mieht ,be overpowered
by superior proea,. of Bo?ers oo t,he Jhe
nay i-y mo oca.
. Vt. Fowler'a Uiopateh
Washington, July 30 -The Secretary
of State received at midnight from Mr.
Fowler, American Consul at Che Foo,
a dispatch, dated July 20, which says:
"A letter from . the German Legation
kated 21st, received at Tieu Tsin, says
the German loss is 10 killed and J2 int
jured.. Chinese ceased their, attack on
12th. Baron von Ketteler's body is said
to be safe. the Austrian, Dutch and
Spanish . legations,, destroyed and the
French partially. ' " ' ' ,
"A letter from the Japanese Legation,
dated the 22d arrived at Tien Tsin on
the 25th. Ten battalions of Chinese
shelled the legations consecutively from
the 20th of Judo and stopped on the 17th
of July, but may renew. The enemy
are decreasing. The German, Russian,
American, British and half ther Japanese
and i French, , legations still defended.
Japanese Bay they have food for six
days, but little ammunition, The Em
peror and ; Empress are ; reported, at
Pekin." ;" : '::!. "
Expects to Hear From Concrr.
Washington, Jutv 3Q Now, that the
London Foreign Office' has beard from
Sir Claud McDonald, the officials, here
confidently expect that,, within a yery
short time something , will come from
Minister Conger if he be still alive. This
belief is basfd upon assumption that
Mr, Conger's facilities for communica
tion to his government are at least equal
to those possessed by his diplomatic col
leagues, and that he will avail himself
of the 8rst oppbr'tunity'0toTet the "people
of. the United States know he is alive
and what are the real conditions in Pe
kin. Some disappointment is expressed
here because of the absence of any date
to Sir Claude's dispatch, the message in
its shape leaving uncertain just up to
what time it brings events in Pekin. It
was pointed out tonight, however, that
the probability is that the date July 21,
at the end of the message, is the day on
which it was sent, as the body of the
communication says an armistice has
been in existence since Ju'y 16.
People are horrified at the great num
ber of persons who have been killed and
wounded, and say that when the day of
reckoning comes, China will have a big
account to settle with different nations.
Held as Hostages- .
The fact that the Ministers at Pekin
are held as hostages, perplexes the
allies. It is feared that, if the inter
national forces advance , the Chinese
will, if defeated, retreat to Pekin and
put all the remaining foreigners todeath.
A dispatch received at Rome says the
Chinese government is holding UOQ
Europeans as hostage.
AUv Bui Benelgru.
Washington, July 31. Doubt baa
given way to a feeling akin to certainty
that the Legitioners at Pekin and tbe
gallant marines who managed to reach
tbe Chinese capital just in the nick Of
time were not only alive July 22, bat in
all probability are still alive, and likely
to remain so until thy are releaxed
from their state of seige.

GAVE HIS WIFE AWAY.
The famous romance of Buskin's
friendship for the great artist, Sir
John Everett Millais, late presi
dent of the Royal Academy, has
been a subject of no end of discus
sion tbe world over. In youth
RuBkin had experienced a hopeless
love for a Freiicb girl who only
laughed at him. Bat the greater
romance came several years 'after
he had become a famous writer,
when he met at Bower's Well,
Scotland, Eupbemia Chalmers, a
beautiful and talented young wo
man. Be gave her his whole love,
but on a highly spiritualized plane.
While she greatly admired him
she demurred at his marriage pro
posal, but finally accepted on pres.
sure by her parents. The honey
moon was cut short by Ruekin's
illners, and tbe condition of his
health for soma time gave cause
for serious uneasiness. In 1854
Millais came to Scotland. He and
Ruskin were intimate friends. He
painted the portrait of Buskin
standing beside the Falls of Gleu
finlas and Ruskin invited bim to
paint a portrait of his beautiful
wife. Millais was tall, fall-chested,
of vigorous presence, and he was
as well known to fame as was Bus
kin. Millais and Mrs. Ruskin fell
in love. She left her husband; a
decree of nullity dissolved the
marriage, and in June, 1855 she
was married to Millais at Bower's
Well. Buskin had known Millais
so well that when the painter had
brought his first picture to him, a
portrait of Chas. Beade, to ask
what he thought of it, Buskin said
it was not a failure, but a fiasco,
and kicked a hole through it.
When the painter won his wife the
friendship was not broken, Buskin
standing up in church with them
at their marriage. He had been
the first to urge it.
CORN FED.
At the Paris xpo. the American
corn propaganda seems to afford
the French some amusement. A
kitchen has been established to
prepare corn bread, corn fritters,
etc., as a free lunch, and thus rec
ommend the use of corn and in
crease the demand for it. At the
exhibits of all the countries there
is a guard or soldier standing or
walking in the uuiform of his
country. The nations have not
forgotten to select soldiers of good
appearance for this service. Hugo
Krause, of Milwaukee, a veritable
Heroules, six feet five inches tall
in his uniform, ruddy and hand
some, is on guard at the American
corn bread kitchen, and if any
foreigner is skeptical aa to tbe
effect of corn as a diet be is point
ed to this corn fed American, and
Mr. Kranse can tell them in good
French what corn has done for him.
PARI3 HUMBUG.
Why do people go to expositions?
Because expositions are tremend
ously advertised, and because the
human heart and foot is always in
pursuit of sensation; always seek
ing the will-o-the-wisp novelty.
Because the world lovea to be
humbugged a great many times,
vowing after each deception it will
not be caught again, . but ever
hungry for the next thing. The
Paris exposition, like all tbe rest,
is a mammoth advertising scheme,
and France has of course the hog's
share of the advertising and Paris
will profit immensely by the show.
The part played by tbe U. S. is, in
enmparisou, far fiom conspicuous.
It appears only here and there by
an exhibit marked by an American
flag and there is nearly always ad
joining or across tbe aisle an ex
hibit of the same class by another
country, it may be Italy, Hungary,
or Belgium. Of course this means
nothing to those who think, or
know that tbe United States ex
hibit is nothing more than the
"lay-out" of some firm or firms
that strive to find or increase tbeir
business oo that side of tbe water.
But to tbe average tourist from
rnral France, Germany and Bel
gium wbo make the bulk of those
who see the exposition and who
know as little about tbe United
States as a horse does of astronomy,
the impression is that Belgium and
Italy have more taste and better
things than the United States, aod
that franco has everything.

ROYAL BAKINO POWDER CO.,
FOR COUNTRY WOMEN.
Still another outlet has been
found for unemployed energy
through . the efforts of a voung
woman at Pequaket, N. H., in es
tablishing the Abnukee rug indus
try. Urged by a desire to give
employment to the women of that
remote mountainous district, and
finding tbey could do nothing ex
cept make the common hooked rug,
which as usually executed is ugly
of pattern, crude iu color and un
pleasant under foot, she set herself
the task of elevating the hooked
rag, for she saw possibilities of
artistic results that tbeir rude
methods had not developed. She
bought new all-wool materials, fur.
nished original designs, dyed the
goods in tbe warm, neutral tones
seen in Oriental rugs, and trained
her workers after a method of her
own. The result was a complete
metamorphosis of the hooked rugs,
constituting a distinct departure in
American industry, as they are un
like any product before oiTored. Iu
texture they are thick and soft as
the heaviest velvet carpets, and
have considerable sheen; and as
they are hand-made they can be
varied in color, pattern or size to
meet any requirement. The work
speedily grew beyond the original
plan of making rugs for floors.
Crests and coats-of-arms upon wall
rugs are executed as well; also
wall rugs with jeweled effects in
borders, portieres, couch covers,
and chair covers are made to order.
POOR JACK.
Tbe trannport City of Pekin
brings news from Manila that
Harvey L. Jackson, a trader of
Malolos, who succeeded in having
f 40,000 of insurgent coin turned
over to the United States, is a beach
comber in Manila, without funds to
return to this country or start
again in business. Jackson did
well as a trader at Malolos till the
war came. Then the insurgents
looted his store and took him pris
oner, dragging him around from
place to place. When Law ton
captured San Nicolas, Jackson es
caped to the American lines and
in revenge promised to reveal tbe
biding place of tbe Spanish com
mander's treasure. Under bis guid
ance soldiers recovered $40,000 in
coin, but they found much more
in coin and jewelry, which was
divided among themselves. Sev
eral soldiers wore diamond rings
and all bad abundance of money
Jackson got nothing of the plunder
and his part in the recovery of the
treasure was never reported to
headquarters.

SENORITAS.
Love and religion are the only,
subjects with which a senorita is
expected to concern herself. Hap
piness is thus made to hang on a
chance. Even where a Spanish
girl wins her crown of wifehood
and motherhood, her ignorance
and poverty of thought tell heavily
against the most essential interests
of family life.' Girls still marry
too young, though not, as a rule,
so young as their mothers married.
I remember one weary woman of
torty, with eighteen children in
their graves, and the three who
were living physical and mental
weaklings. She told ua of a friend
who married at fourteen, and used
to leave her household affairs in
confusion while she stole away to
a corner to play with her dolls.
tier husband, a grave lawyer in
middle life, would come home to
dinner and find his helpmeet
romping with other children in the
square.
The Spanish girl is every whit as
fascinating as her musical, cloaked
gallant confides to her iron-grated
attice. Indeed, these amorous
serenades hardly do her justice,
blending as she does V rench ani
mation with Italian fervor. Iu
AndulaBia she dances with a grace
that makes every other use of life
seem vain. And when she bargains!
there is nothing sordid about it.
Her haggling is a social condescen-
tion that at once puts the black-
eyed young salesman at her mercy.
Ibe average Spaniard is well
satisfied with his senora as she is.
tie did her extravagant homage as
a suitor, be treats her with kindly
indulgence as a husband, but he ex
pects of her a life utterly bounded
by the casa. " What is a woman?''
we hpard one say. "A bottle of
wine I" And those few words told
the story why, with all her charms.
home-love, and piety, tbe Spanish
women have not availed to keep
the social life of the peninsula
sound and sweet.
