Boyd, the United Stales Minis ter to Sium, has not tendered his resig nation to the President as a result of the nublicatioii of a is-rsonal letter which lie wrote to Mr. Holdcrman, expressing views on the Siamese situation in very undiplomatic language and reflecting ujsin Secretary ( iresham. While Colonel Boyd will not Is asked tt resign, it is understood hit tenure of office will be ended by the apjsiintmeiitof a successor. Mr. Holilerman called on Secretary G res ham to explain why he made the Boyd letter public, but tlie Secretary declined to hear him, stating that he was w holly indiHeroiit on the subject. Mr. Boyd was appointed Minister to Siam October 1, Ih.iO. Tho salary of the jiosition is $5,000. Secretary (iresham of the State De partment needs $100,000 to pay the ex penses of his office. A good part of this deficit is due to the expense incurred in the entertainment of foreign visitors, notably the Duke of Veragua. While the Duke was in Chicago being luxuri antly provided for, he w rote to the Pres ident expressing his regret that he would Isi delayed in reaching Washington to pay his respects to the chief executive. He was informed in reply that the Pres ident would release him from any obli gation he might feel in that direction. He was further advised that arrange ments had liecn made for his return to Spain. Of course the Duke was left to lix the date himself, but there was no mistaking the anxiety of the department to have bit visit come to an earl vend. The expense of the entertainment of the Duke w ill not fall short of $40,000, not to mention the entertainment by private persons.

The most sigulicant bill introduced in the Senate perhaps was ono by Senator Hill of New York. The measure he pre sented leaves no doubt of his position on the financial issue. hue repealing the purchasing clause of the Sherman act, it unqualifiedly pledges the country to bi nietalisni. h is "A bill to repeal certain sections of tho act of July 14, 181H), en titled an act directing the purchase of silver bullion nnd the issue of Treasury notes thereon and for other purposes.5' This repealing act, however, " is not to be construed as abandoning bimetalism, but it is hereby declared that the policy of using both gold and silver as standard money of the country shall be estab lished, and to the accomplishment of that end the efforts of the government shall be steadily and safely directed." The Western people are felicitating themselves on the position assumed by Senator Hill. They are pleased that he should have so unqualifiedly pledged himself to bimetalism as to indicate his willingness to favor subsequent legisla tion looking to the restoration of Bilver as money metal. CHICAGO EXPOSITION. World's Fair Managers are devoting much attention to schemes to increase the attendance. The Duchess of Marlborough expects to revisit her native land in September, and will attend the World's Fair. What is claimed will be the largest flagstaff ever erected is to be dedicated to the World's Fair by the Stale of Wash ington in September. Governor Levelling of Kansas will soon appoint a commission to lay his gulf transportation scheme before for eign representatives at the World's Fair. The British government has sent Ma jor Cragie to Chicago to report on the agricultural statistics accumulated by the various governments at the World's Fair. It is now conceded that the stockhold ers of the World's FW will not get any of their money back. It is also conceded that in addition to their $5,500,000 the citv of Chicago will not get anv of its $5,000,000 back. At a meeting of the National Commis sion Commissioner Goodell of Colorado precipitated a lengthy and heated de bate by a resolution reducing the sala ries of Commissioners St. Clair and Mas sev, members of the Council of Admin istration, to $2,500 a year. Now they are getting $500 per month. The matter was finally referred to a special commit tee. Some of the officials and directors of the exposition have a scheme to charge 25 cents' admission to the fair after 6 o'clock in the evening. The matter has been under discussion for several days, it is said, with good prospects of being carried through. It is believed that by doins this the increased attendance will be large enough to more than double the receipt taken in after 6 oclook. FOREIGN FLASHES.

The financial returns of the Australian colony of Victoria for the year ending July 30 are expected to show a deficit of about 1,008,000 in addition to a debit balance of 9t0,000 brought forward from last year. A modern postal system is soon to be established in China. The imperial gov ernment has approved a plan, drawn up by Sir Robert Hart, under which the native postal organization will entirely disappear and will be replaced by an im perial postoffice, with branches through out the country, under the management of qualified foreigners. An imperial ukase issued recently for bids the killing or capturing of fur" seals on Russian land without special permis sion from the goverment. Persons vio lating this decree or engaged in unlawful pelagic sealing will render themselves liable to imprisonment from two to six teen months and forfeiture of ships, equipments and the sealskins already taken. All cases of unlawful poaching on seal lifu in Russian territory will be referred to a district tribunal sitting at Vladiwtoek. SHREWD CHINESE SERVANTS.

They arn ax numerous there a are neiroe In certain ot the southern cities, and no one would think of hiring a white servant, because they are not to he had. A "tenderfoot" family, she say, buht to set the price of tlielrjlrnt servant M moderate an possible, foi, should ther payhiui twenty-five dollars per month to tart on, fhey will never be able to hire an other for a cent less. The Chinese servants of Vancouver are not organized Into a union. They don't need to be. They all know each other aod all work together to the common end to get a.4 much as they can of the good things. The minute a newcomer strike the town he la shown around. That, he will be told by his yellow skinned breth ren, Is a twenty-five dollar house; this twenty dollar bouse, and so on, and he readily promises to do aa the rest do. Mrs. McF tt-lis of a servant she had. She bad let a former servant, to whom she was paying twenty-five dollars per month, go, and hired in his place a celestial from a "tweutly-flive dollee" bouse. Tlie latter was the incarnation of stolidity and stu pidity. He could do only the simplest tasks and cook only the plainest dishes. Disgusted with him the lady went to see bis former mistress, to whom she told all. "He has simply been fooling you," nn swered that lady. "Ling was the best servant I ever had a good cook, who knew all about the choicest dishes, willing and active. But how much do you pay him?" "Twenty dollars." "Ah, there's the secret of his laziness. He Is merely ganging his work to make it commensurate with his pay according to his idea of the fitness of things." Mrs. McF raised his nay five dollars, and now gels the latest dishes, etc. She has come to the conclusion that the Chinese, especially the servants, are not foois. Tbey never steal, she says. But they will lease the household belongings just a though they owned them. She Went to a birthday dinner at a frier:!'.-, house one day and was astonis!:-- j tu see three of her teaspoons and two damask napkins, ail handsomely nionogramed, on the table. Her friend fortunately caught her eye at the critical moment, aud noting the rising flush on Mrs. McF 's face, took her aside and explained matters. She was sat isfied and resumed her seat at the table, once more marveling at the mixture of shrewdness and independence in the Chi nese character and honesty, too, for these thlnRsare all reliunously returned, cleaned, to their rightful owners. She bad reason later on to thank ber stars that this was the Chinese custom. She gave a 6 o'clock dinner in honor of the visit ot an eastern friend. She wanted to invite thirty guests, but hadn't the requi site amount of tableware from which to feed them all at a table. In her dilemma she remembered the old trick aud ac quainted Ling with the facts. "Allee light, me sabe. Me gettee him," promptly responded that worthy. She and her guests entered the dining room that evening, and of a verity Ling had kept his word, for upon that table was the most varied assortment of knives, forks, spoons, dishes, etc., she had ever seen. Tlfe ludicrousuess of the scene fl-Ucd upon her, and, laughing outright, she ex plained matters to her eastern visitor, while the rest of the company looked on and laughingly nodded approval. Detroit Free Press. fill the Lungs Dally. Cultivation of deep inspiration in breath ing is of the greatest value wherever tbera is a predisposition to any lung trouble. Half of the world never use the lower part of their lungs at all, thus lessening very materially their chances of resistance to any disease of the respiratory organs. In such dangerous and sudden illness as pneu monia, for instance, a celebrated physician has affirmed that the chances of life would be much greater if the patient had been in the habit of fully filling all the lung a-lls when in health. A little daily breathing practice will do much to teach the proper use of the lungs and have invaluable re sults in the future, and is certainly well worth t he ten minutes devoted to the exer cise dally. There is a little Instrument called a "spirometer," which is used for the pur pose, but an ordinary quill of straw, or a glass tube, is about as eflicacious. Draw in the breath slowly until you count a de liberate fifteen, aud exhale the air for the the same length of time. At first a de cided sensation of fatigue will be experi enced when ten times are counted. In crease by degrees until you are able to take twenty deep inhalations without diffi culty. This done every day will surely broaden aud deepen the chest, and greatly increase the power of the lungs. New York Tribune. The Siberian Register. There is an administrative regulation In force in most Siberian penal settlements requiring political exiles to appear at the police station daily, semiweekly or week ly, and sign their hames in a register. The intention, apparently, is to render escapes mo're difficult by forcing the exile to come, at short Intervals, to the local authorities and say, "I am still here; I haven't es caped." And as a proof that he hasn't es caped they make him sign his name in a book. It is a stupid regulation; it affords no security whatever against escapes; it is Intensely humiliating to the personal pride of the exile, especially if the authorities happen to be brutal men; and it causes more heartburning and exasperation than any other regulation in the whole exile code.
