FREELAND, PA., JULY 11, 1895.
A New Danger.
From all cities comes the complaint
of fast riding or "scorching," as it is
called. The man or woman on tho bi
cycle is become the bane of the pedes
trian. Crossing streets in the resi
dence parts of the cities bus become
the art of dodging two-wheeled vehicles.
In New York city they have a law
which forbids riding at greater speed
than eight miles an hour. But how is
a policeman to judge of the speed?
And how is he to arrest violators of this
wholesome regulation? The Tribune's
advice is a bicycle-mounted police. Tho
men for this service must be expert
riders. In many places the bicycle
riders have special paths or roads set
apart for their use. Excursions into
the country have also become regular
features, and, strange to say, the inns
which went out when the railroads
came in are being reopened.
FARMER WHITE, of Michigan, has a
racing cow. Iler favorite pastime is to
jump the fence and run along the
highway like a blooded colt. One day
it occurred to the farmer that he ought
to put such talents to use, so lie re
marked to a neighbor that ho had a
cow that could outrun his horse. The
result was a match between the equine
and bovine—half-mile, straightaway.
The cow had a clear lead up to the first
half of the distance, but just then a
dog appeared in a side lane and barked
furiously. The cow jumped the fence
and gave chase to the canine, and the
equine trotted in an easy winner. Ilad
it not been for this diversion, it is be
lieved that the cow would have won.
A MIND reader was showing off before
a party of Chicago men. "Can you
read an alderman's mind and find out
how much money he got for his last
vote?'* asked one of the spectators.
"Certainly," replied the mind reader
with a smile. "All right, try it on my
friend here," indicating an alderman
who sat beside him. The alderman be
came very red in the face, looked at the
mind reader distrustfully, murmured
something about his friend being "too
gay" and then retreated.

JAPAN ACTED SQUARE
Mr. Foster Talks About the
Recent Oriental War.
Good Reason Now To Expect Per
manent Peace—Tho Policy Main
tained by tho United States Ap
proved Germany's Intervention
Was a Surprise.
Washington, July 9.—ln conversation
with a reporter for the United Press Mr.
Foster, who was Li lluug Chang's ad
viser in the Japanese-Chinese peace ne
gotiations, was asked for his opinion of
tho prospects of permanent peace be
tween China and Japan as the result of
the treaty of Sliimouoseki. lie replied:
"There is good reason to expect perma
nent peace between tho two empires.
The terms demanded by Japan may,
under the circumstances, bo regarded as
reasonable, especially in view of the re
trocession of tho Liao Tung peninsula.
The treaty has been observed aud carried
out by China with scrupulous good
faith, ller conduct in this respect has
created a very favorable impression in
Japan."
Germany's Intervention a Surprise.
In regard to the attitude of the pow
ers towurd the parties to the recent con
test Mr. Foster said: "The intervention
of Russia, on account of the terms of
peace, was not unexpected, aud it is not
unnatural in view of her predominating
interest in the Orient, especially on the
north Pacific coast of Asia. That France
followed the lead of Russia created no
surprise in the 'east; bue that Germany
should unite with them in u display of
force agaiust Japan was entirely unex
pected and is not yet understood.
British Residents Bitter.
"British residents in China and Japan
are very bitter in criticism of their gov
ernment for its übsleiition in the matter.
They allege that its failure to join with
the otiier powers in rearranging the
terms of peace, lias lost for their country
much prestige aud has left Russia a free
hand iu its influence and control at
Pekiu.
Our Policy Approved.
"Of all countries diplomatically con
cerned in the contest, the United States
has come out of it with better grace than
any other. From the first her interest
hits been recognized by both belligerents
as purely disinterested, her only desire
being to render such service as would
bring about an honorable and lasting
peace. The conduct of the state depart
ment in its very delicate relations with
both combatants has been marked by
good judgment and few mistakes, and
the good offices of our ministers and con
suls in China and Japan, where they
represented the interests of bath govern
ments, have beeeu very useful aud
highly appreciated by both nations."
Tired of Residence Abroad.
Mr. Foster was asked why he declined
to accept the oiler to remain iu China as
the adviser of tho government, the first
ever made to any foreigner to euter into
the councils of that nation. He answered
that during the past twenty-live years he
hud spent the greater portion in foreign
lands, and that while his residence
abroad had been generally pleasant he
had found no couutry equal to his na
tive land, and he desired to spend tho
rest of his days in his own country and
own home.
Concessions Granted by Japan.
The Tien-Tsiu Times in and editorial
review of tho peace negotiations as
finally promulgated, says that the docu
ment showed an abatement of one-third
($144,400,000) of the amount of the in
demnity claimed; tho reduction by one
half of the area of territory claimed on
the mainland; the reduction of the pay
ment to be made by China of the cost of
the Japanese army of occupation pend
ing the performance of the treaty of obli
gations by China, from tho whole esti
mated sum (1,000,000), to one-quarter of
the cost ($100,000); the restriction of oc
cupation of Chiuese territory by .Japan
ese troops to one post, Wei-llei-Wei.
There was also a complete abandonment
by Japan of the claim for special privi
leges to her subjects trading in China,
that immunity from certain taxation
imposed by China upon other foreigners
doing businesss in her territory, and the
right of Japaueso traders to pay for their
purchases iu China in the currency of
Japan. This illustrates to China tho
value of Mr. Foster's services.

AN IIISTOIIIC STEAMER SOLD.
Tho Alert To Bo Broken Up or Used
as a Sealer.
Montreal, July 9.—An historic vessel
has just been sold at Quebec —the Do
minion government steamer Alert. She
was built in Eugland in 1850. The re
markable strength, solidity and com
pleteness of her construction and equip
ment indicate that she was expressly de
signed for Arctic expeditions, her tim
bers being of the stoutest oak and finest
teak, and everything about her of the
most substantial order.
Used in the Crimean War.
She was first used toward the end of
the Crimean war to help iu the work of
carrying buck British troops from the
to England. Her next commis
sion was to the polar seas under com
mand of Lieut. Nares in his famous ex
pedition. She next figured in the Greely
Arctic expedition, for which purpose she
was loaned to tho United States. She
subsequently saw service as a training
ship for the royal navy at Portsmouth
under the command of captain, ufter
ward Admiral Stephenson.
Presented to Canada.
When Canada undertook several years
ago to send an expedition to Hudson bay
for the purpose of ascertaining the navi
gability of the straits, the imperial au
thorities presented the Alert to the Do
minion government, and she was again
employed ou that mission under the late
Commander Gordon. Since then her
commission has been more common
place. Her purchasers intend, it is said
by some persons, to break her up for the
sake of her copper and equipments,
which are all of the and by others
to use her as a sealer.
THE MEN MAY FIGHT.
Judicial Opinion Declares the Rig
Mill Legal in Texas.
Dallas, Tex., July 9.—Judge George
Clark of Waco has submitted au opiuion
as to the legality of the proposed Cor
bet t-Fitzsimmons glove contest. The
opinion is very exhaustive aud lengthy,
liis conclusions are: That the original
act of 1891 was wholly inoperative.
That when its provisions were re-enacted
in the penal code of 1895, it was still in
operative for want of some court to try
the offense. That tho law was repealed
by the revised statutes, which go iuto
effect on September 1, 1895. That there
is now no law upon the statute books of
Texas preventing pugilistic encMnters,
and that upon a payment of tendeff of
the license fee charged for snch exhibi
tion, there is no lawful power in the
state under present laws to interfere
with the exhibition. Judge Clark gave
the matter at issue careful study aud a
palieut research and his opinion is most
sweeping.
YACHT PUZZLE FOR SALE.
Mr. Flint Denies That Slio Was Used
as a Filibuster Crult.
New York, July 9.—The steam yacht
Puzzle, which arrived here Sunday from
Brunswick, Ga., consigned to Flint,
Eddy & Co., has been taken to Tebo's
basin, where she is to be sold. Mr.
Flint said that lie had been greatly an
noyed by the leports that he had been
south on filibustering business, and as
a result of a report in a morning paper
he had been put to some trouble with
the insurance people. The Puzzle was
formerly owned by 11. B. Claflin and
was sold to a party in Trinidad, who
proposed using her in exploration of the
Orinoco river. She subsequently went
to Hayti, where, being provided with
hunting implements and ammunition,
the government sought to purchase her.
The offer was refused. Arriving at
Brunswick, the crew libeled her for pay.
Mr. Flint ussumed the debt and took the
yacht in satisfaction of his claim.

Foreign Adventurers Responsible.
Paris, July 9.—The Gaulois publishes
an interview with the Spanish premier,
Senor Canovas del Castillo, in which he
is quoted as saying that the climate of
Cuba prevents decisive operations against
the insurgents for the present. He said
that the rebellion was entirely tho work
of foreign adventurers, but ho was glad
to say that the insurgents' supplies of
arms and ammunition, coming chiefly
from the United States and neighboring
countries, had diminished, owing to the
correct and energetic action of the
United States government.
FIERCE BATTLE REPORTED.
Insurg nts Boat 2HO Killed and Gov
ernment Troops Fifty.
Havana, July 9.—Advices that have
reached hero from Santiago do Cuba art
to the effect that Major Sanchez, com
manding a government force, Uisovered
1,500 insurgents under command of the
rebel chief Habi strongly posted near
Manzanillo. Major Sanchez thereupon
sent a message to Major Aznar inviting
liiin to join forces aud attack the rebels.
The insurgents captured the messenger
and bunged him
Led Into a Trap.
They then sent a reply to Major
Sanchez's message, signing Major
A/mar's name to it, directing that an
attack on tho insurgents be made at an
other point. Major Sanches fell into the
trap and advauced as directed in the
forged message. His force was sud
denly attacked by the rebels in a nar
row defile. The insurgents charged on
the Spanish troops in the most plucky
manner, wielding tho deadly machete
freely.
Troops * Escape.
The troops were unable to manoeuvre
owing to tho lack of space. Two ser
geants, one at the head of thirty and the
other at tho head of twelve men, gained
commanding positions and succeeded in
checking the insurgents, shooting all
that came within range of their rifles.
I'lieir fire was so deadly that the rebels
made no further attempt to charge aud
1 lie troops were enabled to escape from
the defile in which they had been am
bushed.
Heavy bosses on Both Sides.
The government force then attacked
the main positions of the rebels and
compelled them to retreat. Tho insur
gents lost 2NO killed. The government
loss was fifty killed and wounded.
