A flatter of Grave Concern to Powers. He Could Not be Replaced. Pekin, March 17.-The health of Li Hung Chang is again a matter of grave consideration to the ministers of the powers. Mr. Rockbill, the American special commissioner, who visited Earl Li yesterday, says he is a wreck an apparenty in a state of utter collapse although mentally as brilliant as ever. Mr. Rockhill would not be surprised to hear of his death at any moment. The removal of Li Hung Chang by death or any other cause at the present moment would be very unfortunate. M. de Giers, Rus sian minister, said to-day: "Li Hung Chang is a great diplomat, and his influence with the Chinese court is absolutely unique. No other man approaches him in this respect. His influence is not temporary, but it is par ticularly effective at important moments in the history of China powers object to his political methiods and regard him as es sentially a trimmer, nevertheless they realize that he is the best e possible man to represent, China in the present emergency." Orders have been received by United States troops to depart next month, leaving behind only 150 infantry. The Germnan headquarters staff f assert that their instrtections are I "a great mistake," alleging that, it is necessary to retain a large ti body of foreign troops in the a country for at least two years. Most of the ministers, however, -1 take a different view of the mat- e ter, believing that the best course 1I is to retain a few of the troops of ' eaeh nation and to withdraw the t rest. C ENGLISHt PAPERS COMMENT. ~ Russia Reminded That Their Fleet is as Potent as Ever. London, March 18.-The Tien Tsin correspondent of The Stan- g dard says: "The~ railway dispute here is another* of the attempts of the b Russian admiral, Alexieff, to e create trouble and unless he is ti renmoved .there will be constant j friction, which will eventually ti lead to hostilities. He loses no e opportunity to thwart the Eng lish." Commenting editiorially upon b its Tien Tsin advices The Stan dard reminds Russia that "the r British fleet is as potent as ever * and Japan is burning to second ~ the efforts of any one ready to oppose the annexation of Man- * The morning papers recognize the gravity of the situation at Tien Tsin and counsel the govern- t ment to be firm, but they express z themselves less aggressively. "A grievous blow has been in- I flicted upon our reputation in the far east," says The Daily Mail. ga "Our weaknesses and unpre paredness for war are well known to our enemies and there is rea son to expect further surprises i in the diplomatic line. Before, however, we can put our foot down, the ex ire must be placed in8h i o fer.o od ai ury going to war with Russia >r a good or a bad cause," says 'he Daily News. "Russia is a t object for graceful concessions, nd not a small republic to be ullied and provoked." Iritsh Do no, Wish to Capture Gen. Dewet. London, March 16.-A special ispatch from Durban, Natal, ays the Boer commanders are old g a meeting at Petersburg, n nortlern Transvaal, to discus he position and the advisability f a continuation of the war. Nhatever the result of the peace egotiations between Gen. itch er and Gen. Botha it is tolera ly certain that the rumors of the nelusion of Gen. DeWet in any orm of amnesty are not based on act. Gen. Kitchener's personal -iews of the Boer leader are not known in parliament but if the war office was consulted the of cials there would rather see DeWet killed in action than taken alive. One of the officials re apnsible for the direction of the Xirs-of the army said to a top resentative of the AssociaMed Piess; "I cannot see how Kitch ener can possibly accept DeWet's surrender. If he ever gets him he will be obliged to try him for his recent alleged murders of prisoners. I have no doubt that the verdict of either a military or a civil court would be death and if such a verdict was carried out there would be a horrible howl on the continent and in America. And, indeed, one would be sorry to see such a brave fighter meet such an end. Therefore, we can only hope DeWet will either got out of the country or be shot in battle."

After somf coach ings, however, he was fairly started on his academi'career. Meanwhile he had entaed for the Brackenbury scholaship in modern history at Ball ~college. The "field" for this aholarship is always a large and sfong one. From the Scotch uliversities, sometimes from the provinical universities in Englan , and al ways from the publi schools, great and small, come the best youthful historians of the year. Against such competit it was hardly to be expect . that the 'extension scholar fro Dldham" sould hold his own. B k to the delight of his friends, - Owen was elected.

CASTOR I ior Infants and Childre iT Kind Ysu Have Alwas B gbt Sgatr. of, TEN THOUSAND BOOKS RE . One of the best circul bing ichool libraries in the South a in fewton county, Georgia. T'he story of its inception is as 01l During the spring of 189 he ounty board of euainp ropriated $230 for a circula~ng ;chool library. To hold ithe rolumes County Supt. W.) 0. Vright had constructed libiniy oes, each strengthened with ron braces and provided with itout handles in addition toi a ock and key. This cost only $25 Vith what remaind of the srna ppropriated one thousand books 'ere purchased, making fity rolumes to a bo!. Twenty printed lists of booksi 'ere then gotten ready togetherl ith rules to govern teachers in he distribution of books. These , ere pasted on the inside lid of' he boxes. Teachers were noti-I jed that they could get boxes for heir schools, could keep them rom one to three months and hen could secure a new' box in ~xchange. Before the boxes were sent-out ome statistics were gathered re Lready done by the children. In me school of sixty pupils only ight had ever read a book other han a text-book. In that same ;chool, three weeks after a box iad been sent, it was reported hat seventy-five books had been ead. By the end of the school erm of less than six months, up wards of 970 books had been ead by the pupils of this school. [n the entire county over 10,000 were read in one term. Mr. Wright contends that $230 in vested in books was the best out lay of money ever made in the county. The average cost of the books for the first year, including freight and drayage, was only twenty-three cents per volume. For the second year the board of education appropriated $275 in addition to the original $230. With this sum eighteen new boxes, each containing thirty books, were started on their way. Observations on the preferences of these Georgia children show that they care for biography more than for any other subject. Lives of Washington, Lee, and Stone wall Jackson are in special de mand. Such books as Samuel Smiles' "Self Help" are very pop ular.-School Journal. 0 r C30 '' 2 A.. Ban ith. T Mhid Yo RanAM~ IN* A Prize for Communication With Other Planets.

The Academy at first did not care to accept such a curious bequest, but finally it did so in the following words: 'Madame Veuve Guzmann, a friend of as tronomy and a believer in the plurality of inhabited worlds, ha left to the Academy the sum ol 100,000 francs to be given as a prize to the person who shall firsi enter into communication of a' astre other than the planet Mars. The will wisely further stipulatef that each time the prize has nol been awarded for a period of five R ounder will be scrupulously fol wed. Astronomers naturally wonder why Mars was debarred.
