Heine dependency of China, the
fate of Thibet la of conaiderable im
portance, especially to America, not
because Americana hare any Interest!

Us acquisition by any power would
mpsn a violation of the principle of
the integrity of China which is the
key note of Secretary Hay's Far
Ksien policy, to which Great
tfriuiu has given adherence.
Mr Hy. therefore, has watched
Witii the closest attention the
British treatment of the Thibetan
auction and it la believed through
Atni4sidor Choale has delicately pre
sented the possible bearing of the
Bri.ith military procedure on Chinese

-BritMi government frankly dlaavowed
tnf ulterior purpose regarding Thib
ettn territory, reiterating that it has
so intention to permanently occupy
Thibet and that Great Britain's mo
tives are those already proclaimed to
tbe whole world. In view of this
declaration the British government
announced that Brigadier General
MacDonald'a expedition expected to
retire soon as the purposes for
which It was organised have been
achieved.

. Jap's Torpedo Boit Exploit
St. Petersburg, July 6, 1:30 P. M.
A few nights ago Admiral Togo at
tempted to repeat the Japanese ex
ploit with torpedo boats at Wet Hal
Wei during the Chlno-Japanese war,
by sending- torpedo boat destroyers
into tbe harbor at Port Arthur for the
purpose or sinking ships at their an
chorage, but tbe attempt ended in dis
astrous failure. Four torpedo boat
destroyers succeeded in creeping into
the harbor, which was not protected
by booms, but only one escaped. Two
were sunk by the shore batteries and
one was crippled. The reckless bravery
of the Japanese In going to almost
certain deatructlon excites nothlnsr
but admiration here. The channel
at Port Arthur Is so. tortuous and
strewn with wrecks that evidently it
was regarded as unnecessary to use a
boom. On account of the difficulty of
getting Into the harbor the feat Is con
sidered !n naval circles to be .fully as
darine as that of the Japanese at Wei
Elal Wei where Japanese torpedo
boats In a storm and covered with ice
were jumped over the booms protect
ing that harbor and destroyed Chinese
warships. So far as known the Japa
nese torpedo boat destroyers did not
even succeed In launching torpedoes.
The exact date ia not ascertainable,
but it is said to have occurred Satur
day. No further details are obtainable,
though it is bellved other destroyers
participated in the attack, only four,
however succeeded la getting in. The
method whereby this Information
reached the authorities Is not disclosed.
A dispatch received here from Vladi
vostok this afternoon does not men
tion the Russian squadron.
The admiralty has no confirmation of
the report from Liao Yang of an en
gagement between the Vladivostok
squadron and Japanese warships off
lien San. There Is good reason to
believe that the squadron is safe back
in port.

FOR "THE LITTLE ONES.
At Out of Dior Academy Where John
C. Cali -3un Wai Educated. 1
The cd'ac:tior. of John C. Cal
houn is dc orib. I by Mr. G. ,M.
Pinckney as wholly remarkable. Be
fore he was fourteen years old he
had read Eollin's ancient history
and Locke's essays, besides many
other abstruse works. At this ago
bis mother took him away from
books and set him to hunting and
fishing and out of door sports. No
more is heard of books until five
years later, when it was decided that
young Calhoun must attend a sem
inary. The academy which his mother se
lected , was that established near
Calhoun's homo by Dr. Waddel. The
boys hoarded at farmhouses in the
neighborhood or lived in log huts
in the woods near the academy and
furnished their own supplies. At
6unrise Dr. Waddel was wont to
wind his horn, and horns answered
from several boarding houses. At
an early hour the pupils made their
appearance at the log cabin school
house. After prayers the pupils, each
with a chair bearing his name carv
ed in the back of it, retired to the
woods for study. The classes were
divided into squads, according to
individual preference. In the spring
and summer months these squads
scattered through the oak and hick
ory woods in search of shade, but in
cold weather the first thing they did
wa9 to kindle log heap fires.
Whosoever imagines . that the
boys did not study as well as they
would have done under the imme
diate eye of the teacher is mistaken.
Nowhere could there be greater as
siduity in study, nowhere greater
emulation and eagerness to succeed.
Quaint Sayings of Children.
The late Frederic E. Coudert, the
New York lawver and wit. hftd a
great fondness for children. He
collected mdefatigably the quaint
savintrs of children, and one of the
treasures of hi9 library was a small
manuscript volume filled with defi
nitions that children had composed.
This volume was called a "child's
dictionary," and these are some of
the definitions that Mr. Coudert
would read from it :
"Dust Mud with the juice
squeezed out of it.
"Snoring Letting off 6leep.
"Apples The bubbles that apple
trees blow.
"Backbiter A mosquito. ,
'Tan A thing to brush the warm
off with.
"Ice Water that went to sleep in
the cold."
The Boy and the Bee.
A little boy once caught a little
bee.
"What will you do with me?" ask
ed the bee.
"I will put you in a box and keep
you in my house," said the boy.
"That will be cruel," replied the
bee.
"Oh, no, that will be fun!" said
the boy.
"now would you like to bo caught
and kept in a cage ?" asked the bee.
"Jolly well," answered the boy.
"Well, then, I'll tell you what I
will do," said the bee. "If you will
let me go I will get my big brother
to come here and get you and put
j-ou in a cage and see how you
would like it."
The boy agTeed, and away flew
the bee.
Very soon the littlo boy saw a
mammoth bee coming toward him,

and his heart began to sink. It did
not seem to be such a good thing to
be imprisoned after all, and he de
cided to try to get away.
Turning on hi3 h'eels, he ran as
fast as his little legs would carry
him, with" the big bee right behind
him.
Faster and faster the boy ran, and
faster and faster the bee flew. When
the boy found that he could run no
farther he gave a loud scream and
well, what do you think ? He woke
up, for this whole story was a
dream.

ho to himself, "for that little bee

Tha Origin, f a Vitticjsnvt the Ex-

TS at h: ton- 'repents K elf was
brought c.t in the senate debate
last winter on breeding stations,
when Senator Bailey, Democrat, of
Texas, alluded to Speaker lCee.d's-
bonmot at the expense of Judge
Holman of Indiana, "the watchdog
of the treasury." Mr. Bailey said
the wittiest and bitterest thing
Reed ever said was when, an ap
propriation - that came very near
Holman'B home was up and the old
judge was remarkably silent about
it and Iteed said; "The watchdog
never barks at home folks."
"That was said," interrupted Sen
ator Hoar, "in 1869 or 1870, when
I first came into the house."
Mr. Bailey was sure the remark
had been made later, while he was
himself a member of the house,
which was many years after Mr.
lioar went over to the senate. The
Texas senator appealed to Senator
Lodge, who wa3 a member of the
house at tbe time. Lodge nodded
his head to confirm. Bailey's story.
1 hen Senator Hoar arose and said
the witticism originated when E. B.
Washburn was a member of the
house. He, too, was a "watchdog."
He had not objected to a bill passed
by his brother, Gadwallader,-who
was a member at the same time from.

MacMahon'i Simplicity.
The French cynics never knew just
what to make of Marshal MacMahon's
simplicity and candor, bnce while he
was president tho council of ministers
were divided on a question in the afs
urinative side of which MacMahon him
self felt the deepest Interest. When
they came to vote on it they found
themselves tied five voting "yea" and
five "nay." "Well, gentlemen,", said the
president, with a sigh, "I confess I am
sorry, but the motion is lost" .
His five opponents exulted in their
victory. His five associates looked re
spectfully astonished,- but sal nothing.
After the meeting one of the latter call
ed the president aside. "M. le presi
dent," he whispered, "we were amazed
at the fesult of that vote, but held our
peace out of regard for you. We had
supposed that you were of the same
mind with ourselves."
"So I am," answered MacMahon.
"heartily."
"Then why did you not assert your
right and cast the decisive vote?"
"Upon my faith," exclaimed the hon
est old soldier. "I never once thought
of it!"
Plnylnac Carda.
The Chinese, who, according to their
histories, invented everything before
anybody else, claim the merit of having
first designed playing cards and devel
oped the mimes arising out of them.
The Emperor Soun Ho had many
wives, who naturally found time hang
ing heavily on their hands, so the em
peror devised amusement for them by
inventing cards that is, if we are to
put any belief in the words of the Chi
nese historians. There were thirty
cards in each of Lis packs three suits
of nine each and three .extra or superior
cards. Tho Chinese cards were oblong,
as ours are, while those of the Hindoos
were round.
Surprising though it may seem, it is
nevertheless true that the queen in our
suits is a comparatively modern inno
vation. The picture cards were at first
entirely military kins, knight and
knave. The Italians were the first, it
is said, to give the lady a place in the
pack.

market during a greater part of the
session showed a firm undertone.

bear pressure and toward the cloie
the market was easier, being finally
quiet and steady at a net advance of
nine to thirteen points. Sales were
estimated at only 250,000 bales. The
nre at firemen was said to affect some
17,000 bales, of which 8,000 bales were
said to be either destroyed or consider
ably damaged, and the buying to undo
hedges that had been out against this
cotton in Liverpool and the local mar
ket probably started the advance.
The weather reports were favorable
