The Crime of Sneezing.
Even so late in the century as the
time of the marriage of our Queen it
was looked upon as a gross breach of
good manners to sneeze in company.
In the time of that bluff tailor-king,
William IV., the then Duke of Nor
folk was referred to as “something of
a boor,” and only for sneezing violent
ly at a state banquet when the King
was present. Sir F. Hastings Doyle, In
his autobiography, relates how, early
in the ’sos, Lord Halifax was walk
ing with Lord Duudas when the
latter suddenly began to make hideous
faces to such a degree that Lord
Halifax became seriously alarmed and
gasped out: “Shall I run for the doc
tor?” Lord Dundas gave a peremp
tory “No,” as far as he was able. When
he had recovered from the paroxysm,
he said: “I was only In the agonies of
trying not to sneeze. The awful Court
etiquette in regard to this matter has
made me really ill many a time. Now
adays I cannot, from long habit, really
sneeze; but the sensation that brings
about sneezing simply agonizes me.
And I know many elderly gentlemen
who suffer the same.”
The same rule applied and still ap
plies in some cases, in an even greater
degree on the Continent. The late
Czar of Russia, the father of the pres
ent ruler, once hazarded the opinion
that a certain distinguished French-
Englisbman was “much wanting In
polish and good manners,” because he,
poor man, sneezed at a Russian Court
reception. Even the late Napoleon 111.,
free-and-easy as was his court In cer
tain matters, looked upon sneezing in
his presence as a great liberty.—An
swers.
A Clever Trick.
The Correo Cutalan, of Barcelona,
vouches for the following amusing

for travelling expenses. Tbe Ottoman
Consul at Barcelona was instructed to
pay the money, and to promise S4OO

Spaniard took his SI,OOO, but he has
not yet reached Constantinople. Some

stomach remedy, and has a record of over
fifty years of cures. Try it also for malaria,

TREASURY REPLETE
The Annual Export of United
States Treasurer Roberts.
INFLUX OF REVENUES BREAKS RECORD
Amount Taken In tlie I.arumt In Ifliforj
of the Country For the Fiscal Yesr
Just CoinP to it Close.
A Washington special says: The
annual report of the treasurer of the
United States, Ellis H. Roberts, on
the operations and condition of the
treasury, was submitted to Secretary
Gage Monday. Mr. Roberts says the
growth aud prosperity of the country
and the general activity of business
are reflected in the transactions of his
office.
The net revenues of the government
for the fiscal year were §567,240,852,
the largest in the history of the coun
try, exceeding those of 1866, the next
highest., by §47,291,388. The increase
of 051,280,332 over the preceding year
was contributed from all the general
sources, but chiefly from customs and
internal revenue. On the side of the
expenditures there was a net decrease
of 8117,358,388 in comparison with
1899, so that the deficiency of $9,111,-
560 for that year was converted into a
surplus of $79,527,060 in 1900.
Promptly on the enactment of the
new financial law the divisions of is
sue and redemption therein provided
for were established, aud to them were
tranferred the records and accounts
relating to the issue and redemption of
United States, gold certificates, silver
certificates and currency certificates.
Up to October 1, 1900, $22,530,854 in
United States notes aud $3,594,708 in
treasnry notes were redeemed in gold
out of the reserve fund of $150,000.
Each day the notes so redeemed
were exchanged for gold from the
general fund, so that the reserve was
kept intact in amount and character.
Besides this reserve fund, tho trust
fund, consisting of gold coin, silver
dollars and bullion and United States
notes held for the redemption of cer
tificates and treasury notes, amount
ed, on the day the act became a law,
to $723,069,283, and increased l>y No
vember 1, 1900, to $740,965,679.
The aggregate amount of money of
all kinds in circulation on October 1,
1900, is estimated at $2,113,294,983,
an increase of $180,810,744 in fifteen
months, of which $94,440,930 was due
to the enlarged nse of gold and gold
certificates. The increase per capita
was from $25.38 to $27.01, The per
capita of gold at the latter date was
$10.50, which is greater than that of
all the currency in 18G2, while the
total of gold i8 greater than all the
circulation at any time previous to
July, 1879.
On October Ist 39.24 per cent of
the total circulation was in gold and
gold certificates 26.45 in silver dol
lars, silver certificates and treasury
note*, 15.36 per cent in United States
notes aad 15.11 per cent in national
bank notes. It is a significant com
parison that on June 30, 1890, the
percentage of United States notes was
22.58. Two years earlier it was as
high as 32.07. While the volume of
United States notes, treasury notes
and silver certificates is limited by
statutory provisions, the stock of gold
is constantly growing.
The metallic stock of money is
estimated for October 1, 1900, as
$1,059,288,820 in gold, $566,355,367
in silver dollars and bullion and $86,-
000,748 in fractional silver coin, an
aggregate of $1,711,644,935.
LITTLE MOROCCO DEFIANT.
K*fa** to Meet Demand of the United
State* For Indemnity.
A Washington special says: The
government of Morocco has again
declined to meet the demand of the
United States for the payment of an
indemnity on account of the killing
by a mob of Marcus Essagin, a natu
ralized American citizeu.
The last request was made by
United States Consul Cutnmere, and
the latest declination of the govern
ment of Morocco was accompanied by
an intimation of its freedom from lia
bility under the terms of the conven
tion between Morocco and Spain.
The state department has concluded
that th# consul’s representations will
be more effective if he is supported
morally by the presence in Morocco
waters of a United States warship, and
it is probable that he will make his
visit to Fez to agaiu present the case
as passenger on a vessel to be elected
bv the navy department for that pur
pose.

General Buller, accompanied by his
wife and daughter, arrived in London
Monday and reported to the war office.

After American Money.
A syndicate of Danish and fcwedisb

POWERS DIFFER
AS TO POLICY
Chinese Trouble Seems Far From
Amicable Settlement.
UNCLE SAM’S STAND CRITICIZED
Proposed Vindictive Action of
r
Germany Threatens To Break -
Up the Peace Concert.
The London morning papers are
again agitated concerning the stability
of the concert of .powers in China.
The attitudes of Germany and the
United States meet with disapproval,
the former because Count Von Wal
dersee has sent a column to destroy
the Ming tombs, an act which is re
garded as needlessly vindictive, and
the latter because it threatens to break
up the concert.
The Daily Chronicle comments
strongly upon the American attitude
as a “feeble compromise which it is
impossible to accept.”
The Moruiug Post says:
“It would be unreasonable of the
United States to break np the concert
because they do not desire indemnity.
The powers would probably be willing
to consider America’s objections. If,
however, the United States have in
view some new oombihation of powers,
it would be neecssary for Great Britain
and Germany to agree upon a common
policy to be pursued in the absence of
a general agreement.”
The Standard, which dismisses the
subject with a mere reference, says:
“An American opinion on the Chi
nese problem is too uncertain to be
considered seriously.”
Dr. Morrison, wiring to The Times
on Sunday, expresses the opinion that
China will readily accede to all the
terms of the conjoint note except the
execution of the princes and officials,
which it will be impossible to fulfill
while the court i9 in the hands of these
very officials.”
“Considerable curiosity is felt at
Tien Tsin,” says the Shanghai corres
pondent of The Times, “as to the
whereabouts of the Japanese forces,
which, though not leaving the coun
try, are disappearing from Pekin and
Tien TsiD, it is not known whither.”
Referring editorially to the present
stage of the negotiations, The Times
says:
“The United States accepted the
Grmau note demanding the punish
ment of Prince Tuan aud the other
guilty officials; and it will not be
harder to secure the punishment of
eleven officials than of the three whose
names were originally indicated by
the state department. Therefore, it is
difficult to see how America could jus
tify iu her own eyes a refusal to join
with the ether powers in steps needful
to secure this result.”
INDEMNITY WILD HE ENORMOUS.
A dispatch to The Herald from
Washington says: Secretary Hay is
mnch irritated over reports from Pe
kin showing that the ministers are de
termined to punish every influential
Chinaman who they thiuk is responsi
ble for tbe resent outrages, and show
ing also that the indemnity to be de
manded will reach $600,000,000. The
secretary is anxious that the powers
shall submit demauds that can be ac
cepted by China.
Officials at Washington held that ex
amples should be made only of those
conspicuously guilty, and that the
amount of indemnity should certainly
be not more than $200,000,000. It is
pointed out that if all the leading men
are sentenced to death, they will, in
self defense, organize a resistance,
which will necessitate further mili
tary operations, the end of which no
one can foresee.
The president and Secretary Hay
are anxiously awaiting the result of
the deliberations of the ministers. It
is plain that the ministers are not
pleased over the developments of the
last few days.

W’ARTHUR REPORTS
Shows Status of Military Affairs
In Philippine Islands.
OLR CASUALTIES FOR NINE MONTHS.
Americans I.ose Over a Thonnaml I u Kill.
ed, Wonmled and Captured—Fillpi.
nos Lute Nearly 7,000.
Major General Arthur Mac Arthur
commanding the United States forces
in the Philippines and military gover
nor of the islands, has submitted his
report to the war department.
Every question in the Philippines is
treated, and the inference drawn bv
many of those at headquarters is that
if the United States are to conquer the
Philippines it must be by sheer force
of arms.
While, according to the report, Ag
uinaldo and his band voted to discon
tinue war November 12th, 1899, as a
matter of fact it continued. By their
ability to doff the habiliments of war
aud assume the garb of peace, Filipi
nos have successfully kept in the field,
but at a tremendous loss. Fifty-three
stations occupied by Americans on
November Ist, 1899, had on Septem
ber Ist, 1900, expanded to 413. While
the Americans had lost 1,073 in killed,
wounded and captured, the Filipinos
had lost 6,785. The report says:
“The Filipinos are not a warlike or
ferocious people. Left to themselves,
a large number would gladly accept
the American supremacy, which they
are gradually coming to understand
means individual liberty and absolute
security in their lives and property.”
General McArthur says the exten
sive distribution of troops has strained
the soldiers of the army to the full
limit of endurance. He says the ap
parent desultory work has demanded
more of discipline and as muoh of val
or as was required during tho period
of regular operations against concen
trated field forces of insurrectionists.
General McArthur’s report says that
the troops amidst all labors aud hard
ships are content.
The Filipinos, the report says, left
to themselvep would gladly accept the
American supremacy. The Americans
are making as many friendly overtures
as is compatible with the conditions.
MCABTHUB TO TAEB THE FIELD.
A Wa i hington special says: In
pursuance of the plan to make an ag
gressive campaign iu the Philippines
during the winter, it has been arran
ged that Major General McArthur
shall personally direct the military
operations against the insurgents.
While he is in the field Major Gener
al Bates will be assigned to duty in
Manila, as exectuive head of the mil
itary government of the island.
General MacArthur does not propose
to lay himself open to the criticism
which was made against his predeces
sor, General Otis, who occupied him
self with office detuils while his subor
dinates led the fighting. General
MacArthur’s determination to lead the
troops himself is warmly approved by
the president aud the secretary of war.
SCHOONER WRECKED.
Six oT Those Aboard, Including; Two
Women, Perished Miserably.
A Boston special says: The three
masted schooner Myra B. Weaver was
wrecked in Vineyard sound early Sat
urday morning and six lives were

Miss Mary Emerson, aged about
twenty-three, of Mobile.
Miss Ella Deboe, aged fifteen, also
of Mobile.
Miss Emerson was a sister-in-law
of the captain and Ella Deboe was her

were iearned upon arrival at Boston
Saturday afternoon of the City of Ma
