'* Three Men CarryV Flags While One* Carries a Gun-'The Uniforms and Ar maments of the Soldiery—sl2,ooo.- 000 Invested in Krupp Guns on the Canton River—How Offenders Are Executed—The Introduction of Tele phones. The Indianapolis Journal says: Lieut. James W. Graydon, who was for some time jn China was asked by a reporter yesterday as to the military establishment of that country. “The biblical quotation ‘aster riblo as an army with banners,’ ” said the Lieutenant, “could apply with special force to China. I ate dinner one day while I was there with the Viceroy of the Province of Canton. He asked me during the repast what I would recommend for tho better ment of his army. Out of every set of fours three men carry flags and only one a gun. That's a fact; so I told him through the in terpreter I would take away the flags, ex cept one for every thousand men, and each evening at dross parado and each morning I would have them, kneel down anil swear to defend that one flag, that I could recom mend him to put repeating rifles in tho hands of all the men who had formerly carried flags, and that Lieut. Graydon have tho contract for furnishing tho rifles. My suggestion tickled the Viceroy greatly. Tho Black Flags in Tonquin,o? whom you heard so much awhile ago, carry large black, flags with a Chinese character in white letters in the centre, indicating tho section of country thev come from.” A. listener was of opinion that it was a cheerful circumstance that the lato Confed erates were not so well provided with ban ners as the Chinese. Otherwise the Clove land, order for the return of captured bunt jug would havo created even more indigna tion. The lieutenant laughed at this suggestion, and continued: “The Chinese on the Canton river have $12,000,000 invested in the best Krupp guns mounted in their forts. They are beginning to pick up in the use of artillery'. They have foreigners, chiefly Europeans, as instructors, and they are quick to learn. The Viceroy of a (province is about the same iu the nation relatively as to rank as a Governor of one of our States to the General Government of the United States. But the Viceroy is a great potentate. He has his own army and navy. Tin .Chinese, in addition to Krupp guiis, hivtynejt of-war better than in the United is: ifesbavv. "Th 1 unfform of the Chinese soldier would hardly lie considered military in any civil hot country. It is a loose costume, much like the Chinese wear in this country, ex cept that the symbol that represents tho body of ttoops to which tho individual soldier belongs is placed on the front of the tunic and on the back so that the badge of the brigade to which they belong can be seen whether they advance or retreat. Offi cers wear the same badge and the same kind of a costume except that it is made of silk and is very' gorgeous. The guns carried by the Chinese are Remingtons, Springfields, the Manser, a German rifle, and some of the Berdan rifles the same as used by the Russians. They are all mixed up as to small arms and buy their cartridges chiefly in Europe. They have a battery of Gatling guns for each brigade, and these Gatlings they make themselves. Years ago Mr. Guiding sent an agent to China with two pieces to make contracts. Tho Chinese in sisted on buying those two pieces and the agent sold them. They never wanted to buy any more. Those imitative people with those two as models so injudiciously disposed of by Mr. Gatling's agent, have fully supplied themselves. Every mandarin who has a steam yacht has at least two Gatlings on his craft and they areas good as the sample. They are not yet equal to making shell cartridges, however. All the forts on the Canton river, as I said, have Krupp guns and they' paid well for them. They have them from twenty-ton pieces up to seventy tons. The Chinese, when properly armed and instructed, will make very good sol diers. “The Viceroy, after we had dispatched din ner, gave us what ho considered a great treat. Three men were to be executed and he in vited me and unother guest to go with him to see tho execution. We were carried to the place, where the poor wretches were to be disposed of, in sedan chairs. When wo cuine to tho inclosure wo found three posts abwitr twenty feet apart, and at each post was ouptof the men to be executed. Each miserable Chinaman was kneeling with his cue nfiH-J or tied to the post high abovo his head, while in his mouth hebad a pine filled with tobacco, at which he was pulling away with awful energy. Each <tf us, the Vice roy. and his two guests were seated in front of one of these poor follows. I was opposite the first one to be executed as it proved. The executioner came along and showed to tii criminals throe swords of strange form nut) enjsJiVnnrp as a razor. One was shaped much Ijke a butcher's cleaver, with a larger blade and a handle long enough for two bauds. Another was of a half-moon shape u;i4 also with a long handle, while the third loflyri somewhat likoasaw, having a tooth lille edge. The men to be decapitated were, it suets, to bo allowed to choose the weapon they preferred .to die by. Two of them chose the clenver-liko blade and the other the half moon, none of them desiring the saw-edged knife. The executioner, picking up the chosen weapon, looked at the Viceroy who grunted something, and then quickly swung the blade in the air. The culprit "■as puffing away on his pipe with might and main. lie received tho stroke without flinching, anil as his head came off it was hit dangling by the cue against tho post. Tho blood spurted almost to my feet. It was a most sickening sight, but I was curious to see the effect on the other victims. They never winked, and smoked to tho last. Indeed, smoke curled out of the mouth of one of the heads after it was detached from its trunk. I feit ex tremely squeamish, but the Viceroy con templated the execution with immense satis faction and doubtless thought in his hos pitality that he was affording me a great treat. The men executed were soldiers, and their crime was theft. China has between y,OOO,000 and 4,000,000 soldiers, I was told, "•ion the Chinese soldier finds out that ho can kill an enemy at a long distance as well us a foreigner, tho Celestial Empire will be come a dangerous military power, China could overrun Europe with soldiers. To give an idea of tho immense population of tiiat Empire, there are 50,000,000 people— nearly as great a population as wo have in file United States—-who live iu boats upon the rivers. “Tho Chinese navy is coming on. They bought of Europeans lihrti fourgnu ‘"'•'its armed with modem rifled guns — lutnvorths, Armstrongs, and Krupris. It 1 railed tho ‘Alplfabct’ (leet.ns each vw,-. 1 > named after a letter in the Chinese alphabet. As fh.it alphabet has iilniiu 000 letters, they arc going, when it is (filed up, to have a Z.'Ty re;.portable number of iron-clads. they do not make os good sailore as tho Japunese. The latter uro plucky little fellows and naturally maritime. Yet there are great possibilities in tho China man. “You can have an idea of the thickly pop ulutod country by this: One day I" went upon a hill outsidu of the City of Canton mid there, within a radius of twenty miles, 1 saw six villages (they oull them villages), each containing about 500,000 jieople. On my ('rut trip up the river, 17 mile* to Mhunghai, I saw a great lot of liaystncks, us f thought. They were all along tho rout*', and so numerous tluii I called the attention °f n gentleman to them. ‘What in the world do you supiioso,' I asked, ‘areffbey going to do with nil that hay;’ He laughed, and told we those were Chinese burial places. They are earthem mounds, at| d [he grass upon them, Iming then dry and burned, iravo them Me- apparauoe of hoysUcktt. Vhgy are family wounds, and .when a member of the family..dies a hole is uug m the side and lie i$ / Stuck in with his JSfesten, They are so plentiful they gave trollble some years ago when- English engineers ran a railroad through many of tnem. Railroads have to Fun in something like a straight line, and they couldn’t dodge the cemeteries. The government built a railroad from the Woosong forts at the mouth of the Shanghai river to Shanghai, a distance of 17 miles, and destroyed so many of these mounds that the populace ros ® frenzied at the desecration, tore up the road, and the government never dared put it back again. The English who built it made a handsome profit, as they were paid about $340,000 a mile for building it. Cars, locomotives, and everything were destroyed. From that time until within the last two years there was no attempt, I believe, to build a railroad in China, but now they are building a road from Tien-Tsin to Pekin, 124 miles, which will soon be completed. European railroad men sent out to China beautiful models of oars, track, and engines. Ihe little models of engines being nickel and gold plated. Americans sent out a lot of blue drawings, so, of course, the Ameri can company' got no contracts for building railroads in China. “Li Hung Chang, the CliinesePrime Min ister , is the iqan of whom Gen. Grant said he was the brightest man in China. All the royalty at Pekin is afraid of him. Ho lives at Tien-Tsin. The Empress Dowager tele graphed for him about two years ago to come to Pekin for consultation. He tele graphed back for them to prepare quarters lor 10.000 soldiers and he would be up. He was telegraphed to that he need not come. Their idea is supposed to havo been to get him to Pekin alono and there poison or as sassinate him iti'some way. He is 56 or 58 years old and six feet and seven inches high —a most tremendous man. “My first contract with the Chinese gov ernment was to run eight lines of torpedoes across the Canton river in twenty-one days. The torpedoes were moored to cables, and run by power engines ashore somewhat on the principle that cable cars are run, the torpedoes being kept beneath the surface of the water as run out. They were arranged to he fired by electricity, and run on end less cables, so the firing could be kept up all day, if necessary. I received $160,000 for the work before I did a stroke. I was fur nished all the lari irers and soldiers I desired. There were 500 laborers and 20,000 soldiers, and I was the only foreigner there—foreign devil, as they call it. I completed my con tract in seventeen days by working about twenty-one hours out of every twenty-four in that time. Then tho Viceroy came down to inspect the lines and see me fire the tor pedoes. They brought a brand new junk that cost about $5,000 down there to be blown to pieces, when any old craft would havo done just as well for the experiment. This was at the Bogon forts, forty four miles south of Canton, about 50 miles from Hong Kong. After the Viceroy in spected the engine-houses, cables, etc., I began to send out torpedoes? The Viceroy asked me to show him how to work the levers. I did go. About that time a boat load of coolies came down tho river with an officer aboard. He caine ashore at the en gine-house, and the coolies remaining in tho boat began to look for a place to tie up. Beneath the water one of these innocents saw the cable and tied the boat’s painter to it. It was the Viceroy pulled the lever. The boat with its frightened load of China men started out. Its bow went under the water and the Chinese were struggling in the river. It was then a very funny sight and the Viceroy lay back and laughed until I thought him in danger of suffocation. The Chinaman who tied the painter to the cable was afterward, I learned, taken out and soundly bambooed. The explosion that de stroyed the junk was made by 260 pounds of dynamite, and the force was felt up and down the river a mile and a half in each direction. For several hours Chinese were at work picking up the thousands of killed fish. A CHILIAN “SHE.” Isidora de Consino, the Monte Cristo of South America. From the San Francisco Examiner. A flashy dressed young man of medium height, with a large diamond in his shirt bosom, stepped off the barkentine Alda via a few days ago when it arrived from Chili. There was something so sharp and shrewd in Iris appearance that the attention of a reporter was attracted to him. "That is Mr. Jenkins, the grand secretary lo the richest woman in South America— Mine. Isidora' jdo Consino—commonly known as the Monte Cristo of South Amer ica,” said'an officer of the vessel. “So you would like to know something of the niadame,” observed Mr. Jenkins, stroking his moustache, on being intro duced. “Well, there is lots to tell you. I could talk about her possessions and her ec centricities for a , week and the subject would not be half exhaust ed. It's a curious thing that she was not discovered long since. She'is known all along the South American const and is almost a queen over the people. In fact, there is no one who disputes her iu anything she says or doei, and she revels in the luxuries that her enor mous wealth can surround her with. About fifty years have passed since she was born, anil, though few women have dissipated us she lias, she is well preserved, and goes out and has her nice little time tho same as ever. “No, she is not fair. Her features are coarse, like a servant-girl’s, but she has had many lovers. “She has a partiality for the French, and a few years ago when a gentleman from France happened around she invariably in vited him and fell iu love with him. In late years her sons have been watching her and * using their efforts to keep her from scandal, which she fails into very easily. “The society people of the city repeatedly vow that they will nover visit her again, but her receptions are so elegant and rich that they never fail to attend w hen they re ceive an invitation. “Isidora is a native of Chili and a widow of the late Luis de Consino, u gentleman of French origin. She claims to havo Castilian blood iu her veins, and most probably she has. She is owner of about four-fifths of the coal mines of Lota, a small seaport in the southern part of Chili, tho inhabitants of which are entirely dependent for their liveli hood upon the mines, and besides this, she lms the controlling interest in the Campania Ksplotadoru de Carbon do Lota i Coronel. These mines supply all vessels of the Pacific Steam Navigation Company with coal, and also all steamers plying oh tho southwest coast. * “At I/Ota she has removed what was a handsome building and isrebulldingn pulnco to eclipse anything in South America. Its cost will bo more than $2,000,000. The palace is to be situated in the most beautiful park country, a veritable Eden, where it, will be surrounded by the most magnificent trees and plants that money can procure. In San tiago, the Capital of Chili, she lias a resi dence that for grandeur has few equals. It is situated in a garden of five acres teeming witti tropica! plants and birds. “Her stabios contain fifty or more thoroughbred English racers; the nmdumu was the first patroueoa of horse-racing in Chili. Her turnouts urn equal to thoso of any Princess. “Isidora caros little for money. Her in come is enormous, but she manages to spend about as much. In 1885 her brother died. In her liereavement slio made donations to hospitals, cburclies, convents, etc., to the amount or 9000.000. She was left $8,000,<|)0 by liim. Included ill her estate was a hand some rinideuceononeof the principal streets ol .Santiago. The dwelling was built and owned for a time by a former Californian, Don IJju-jquo Muiggs, who hail all the ma terial anil workmen brought from the States. “Bho has three daughters.

It Lies Close by a Vast Basin of Pure Balt, and Seems a Paradise. From the San Francisco Argonaut. In the middle of tho Colorado desert there is a curious depression in the earth’s surface, through which the Southern Pacific rail road runs. The lowest point is 260 feet below the sea level, and here is a great body of salt, more pure than any known to commerce, and in an abundance that may supply the world if all other resources should be exhausted. From a point on tho road called Indio the descent is rapid to this place of salt. It was once an inland sea, from which the waters have apparently passed away by evaporation, leaving a s;iit deposit that resembles ice. Standing upon its margin, we look upon a perfectly level and white crust of salt some 30 or 40 miles in length by perhaps 20 in width. A tram way is laid over the crust to a distance of more than a mile, over which a steam dummy and train of freight cars run to the mill where the salt is ground. Beyond the mill a smaller engine pushes its smaller care further out upon the salt crust where the salt is gathered. The process of collecting is very simple. Laborers, pro vided each with a wheelbarrow, shovel,and adze, go out upon tho salt field, pick the surface to the depth of au inch or two, gather barrow loads and wheel them to the care. This salt crust varies in thickness: in soma places it is but a few inches above the mud and water, and some places nearly five feet in thickness. Liverpool salt must bo kiln-dried before being ground. Nature sends this to the mill so dry that it may be ground as fine as flour. At the mill it is bagged and marked for shipment, and is ready for table or dairy use. This salt is 99 per cent, pure, and is placed upon the market ns “New- Liverpool.” It is un doubtedly the purest salt in the market. It is on the rising slope from this salt mine, some twenty miles away, and in tho very heart of the greqt Colorado desert, that the Southern Pacific people have struck artesian water. At a depth of 450 feet a flow of 1,800 gallons an hour has been brought to the surface. Tho bore is being pushed downward for further demonstra tion. Tliis discovery of artesian water has caused tho location of about two townships of land, which is of good soil, being covered with a growth of mesquite shrubbery and weeds. At tho station, Indio, where the company had found water for train use by pumping, there is a growth of pepper, locust, cotton w ood, and palm trees, all doing well and attaining great growth. Grapes, watermelons, tomatoes, roses, geraniums, and morning-glories are there seen in flourishing condition. Grapes and water melons ripen in June. Tho gentlemen who have located this tropical Eden will experiment in the direc tion of tropical productions. Already they talk of cotton, coffee, and tobacco. That it will produce better oranges than San Bernardino or Riverside they do not doubt. Sau Francisco is to receive from this para dise its early watermelons, its berries, ad sweet potatoes. Only a few miles from tho line of the road is a grove of 1,000 date palms, reaching a great height, and bearing the real but very small and inferior date. The foot hills are skirted all along with these palm trees. Iu these mountains, it is said, are productive valleys well supplied with water, but it sinks when it touches the level of the plain. This is a marvellous and wonderful land, and nothing caused the writer greater surprise than the soil and water discoveries constantly being made in these desert places. Places that are very inaccessible, that are embedded in mountain canons and away from civilization, are be coming the luxurious homes of industriojis and enterprising people who have the nerve to go somewhat Ix'yond the confines and boundaries of present genteel life. What a God’s blessing it would be to the members of Henry George’s Anti-Poverty party if some kind, powerful genie would clothe them ali, and then lift them up out of the city slums, tenement houses, politics, gin, idleness, and crime, into these mountain and desert homes where poverty is only known and destitution only felt by those who are unable or imwilling to toil. “MASK, I KNOW YOU.” Frederick the Great Punishes a Diso bedient Cavalry Captain. The days of the historical “Long Bridge,” leading from Berlin to Potsdum, are num bered—a bridge which played an important part in the career of Frederick tho Great. In the days of that King'all travelers be tween the two cities were compelled to pass over the bridge, and few escaped tho mon arch's notice while sitting iu the study of his neighboring palace. Here ho was ac customed to keep strict account of his of ficers who tried to escape their duty now and then by a .jaunt in tho neigh I siring capitul. He, of course, did not wish to be observed. So lie placed a mirror in the room, which accurately reflected what oc curred upon the bridge. Olie day, in the evening of which it masquerade was to take place in Berlin, ho sut as usual at his desk, when glancing in the mirror he saw u cavalry Captain in tho act of crossing. He concluded at once that the object of his ride was tho masked ball, which his majesty also intended to visit, hut had forbidden his officers. A few hours later he also started for Ber lin, and appeared in the opera house at the proper time. His sharp eye soon recognized the sinner iu the mask of a noble Venetian, and iie followed him, step by step, until he was thoroughly convinced that he had made no mistake. .Stepping in front of the cul prit, and gazing at him with a transfixing glance, he thundered, “Mask, I know you!’’ The officer, who immediately recog nized tho tones of the King, was frightened for a moment. He know that a heavy pun ishment, possibly dismissal, would bo meted out to him. Bat he collected himself and replied: “Mask, I do not know you.”- “Mask, you are Cavalry Captain - With a resolution of despair the officer an swered: “Yes: but I am hero without a loave of alis. nco. He is a scoundrel who bo frays me.” The King hit his lips. The an swer was unexpectedly collected and impu dent. But presently he said: “Upon my word, it remains our secret.” The officer left the masquerade, hurried to his hotel, sprang upon Ins horse, and gal loped bock to Potsdam. On the following morning at 8 o’clock he appeared punctual ly for duty in the Lustgaiten, whither his regiment had lieen commanded. The King soon began to review, staring strongly at the captain as ho lMissod down the tile, but saying nothing, ail being in excellent order. Suddenly he halt si at the centre. “Caval ry Captain 1" resounded his stentorian tone. The officer, now certain of his dis missal or long ari'est, rode forward in strict est military fashion, saluting the King, ns lie thought, for the last time. “Nearer,” commanded his majesty, us tho captain stopped ut the customary distance. He obeyed. “Mask, you are a major: but be is a scoundrel who betrays it.” "Upon my word, your majesty, it remains our secret,” answered tho officer, relieved now of his heavy heart. A year went t.y, and the promot ion re mained nn unrevealed secret, the Captain doing his duty as hitherto. On tho anni versary of th.* event, when again presenting Ills regiment to the King in tuo Lustgarten, the following parole orders were read: “Cavali-y Captain is promoted to tho rank of Major, his patent dkting from a year ago to-day, aud has four weeks’ leave of absence for tho carnival in Berlin.” Scarlet Fever and Dlptheria are spread by contagion, by the transfer of living matter.
