World's Greatest Diplomat Passod Away at 11 A. M. Last Thursday. Poking, November 7.-Li Hung Chang died at 11 o'clock this morn ing. Tho physicians who visited him at 10 o'clock Tuesday night found him in good spirits, though extremely weak as tho result of sitting up and working in defiance of their instruc tions. When they called in the morning they found bim unconscious and sinking rapidly. It was an nounced at noon that Li Hung Chang could hardly live three hours longer. At 9 o'clock last evening Earl Li was still breathing and w?s display ing unexpected vitality. Tho physi cians, however, said he would proba bly die in the morning hours. Tho burial clothes had alroady been put on. The court yard of the yamen was lilied with life-size paper horses, and chairs with coolio bear ers, which his friends aro sending, in accordance with Chinese custom, to be buried with him when he died, in order to carry his soul to heaven. This Year's Pension Bill. The estimates for tho expenditures of the interior department during tho fiscal year beginning next July, to bo sent to Congress this session, aggregate $170,000,000. Of this amount a total of $142,161,200 is asked for pensions and tho adminis trative work of the pension bureau.

"It seemed that nothing short of a miracle could save my little daughter from an untimely death," says City Marshall A. II. Malcolm, of Cherokee,Kan. "When two years old she was taken with stomach and bowel trouble and despite thc efforts of thc best physicians wc could procure, she grew gradually worse and was pronounced in curable.

In tho Schley court of inquiry last Wednesday Mr. Rayner, counsel for Admiral Sohley, spoke for three hours in defense of his distinguished client, moving tho spectators in tho court room to tears at times, and at times convulsing them with laugh ter by his sarcasm. Nearing the close of his minuto rehearsal of tho evidence Mr. Rayner discussed tho testimony of Heilner and Hodgson, and in this connection ridiculed the chart prepared by tho navigators of the ships in tho' battle. "That navigator's chart," said he, uis a thing of joy forever. It is like thc obliterated epitaph upon an anti quated tombstone. Six navigators met and after three months of unre mitting labor they resolved to give the world a chart of tho battle of Santiago, which, for all purposes of historical accuracy, might as well bo a ohart of tho battle of Thermopylto or the fiold of Waterloo. As a dis astrous failure tho chart is a magnifi cent success." RIDIOULKD POTTS. Mr. Kayner then returned and took up tho first specification-Ad miral Schloy's conduct during tho campaign. "Now wo como to Mr. Wood and Mr. Potts,"-ho began. "Mr. Potts and Mr. Wood; Mr. Wood and Mr. Potts." (Laughter in oourt^. After reading tho testi mony of several officers as to the splendid bearing of Admiral Schley, Mr. Rayner read the testimony of Mr. Potts to the off cot that tho ad miral appeared nervous ; that ho got up and sat down. "Lieutenant Potts," wont on Mr. Raynor, "has covered himself with renown. His name will echo through tho ages of undying fame. When Manila shall bo forgotten and Santi ago will bo buried in oblivion, tho nama of Potts shall live. Whenever an admiral or a commodore or a cap tain is engaged in tho carnage of mortal conflict, beware of Potts. lie ware of your looks. Bo careful how you walk. Bo careful how you sit down. Bo reserved and reticent in your speech. Modol your entire course and conduct of action accord ing to Potts, that precious child of tho kindergarten, who confosses that ho was always scared when ho was in battle, but who, unfortunately, was never engaged in any battle sufficient enough to arouse hie timidity." * BRILLIANT PKRORATION. Mr. Rayner thon closed as follows : "I H?ve now briefly presented this case as it appears to mo in "ita gene ral outlino. Such a trial as this hat never, to my knowledge, taken place in the history of tho world. It seemed to my mind that this case had bardi) opened with tho testimony of Capt Higginson before it commenced tc totter, and from day to day its vis ionary fabric dissolved from view. "When Capt.

No word to thia offer has evor gono forth from him to th American people. Tho val?an Cook, tho hcroio Clark, tho lamente Philip, the intrepid and undaunte Wainwright and all tho othor oar tains and every man at every gun and every soul on board of every ship are equal participants with Ad miral Schley in tho .honor wrought upon that immortal day.

'Well done, congratulate you on tho victory,' was the stroatner that was bent from tho halyard of tho Brook lyn, and from that day to this no man has ever heard from Admiral Schley tho slightest whisper of inti mation that he has usurped tho glory of that imperishable hour. Tho thunders of tho Brooklyn as sho trembled on tho waves have been discordant music to the ears of onvi ous foes, but they have pierced with a ringing melody the ears of his countrymen and struck a responsive chord at tho fireside of every Ameri can homo.

Senator Bon Tillman, of South Carolina, was in the oity several tiours yesterday on his way home from a leoture tour of the West, where ho has been delivering his lecture, "The Race Problem from a Southern Standpoint." In the past ihroo weeks ho has boon heard by iiudienoes in Missouri, Kansas, Okla homa and Nebraska. Senator Till man said he was going homo for a week's rest, when ho will start on a leoture tour of Illinois, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Iowa, continuing on ihe platform until about December I, when his prosonoo will be required n Washington. Speaking yesterday of his experi ence as a platform orator, Senator Tillman said : "I find there is a greater demand or lectures on tho race question than iny thing else. The aotion of 'Presi leut Roosevelt in inviting the negro, 3ooker T. Washington, to dine with dm has aroused tho interest of tho leople everywhere, and they aro inxious to hear tho views of a gemi ne, bona fide Southerner. "Whilo I have found some negro-^ iholists who wore very much out aged at my discussion of tho race [uestion, in the main I have found ny audiences very sympathotio, his being especially true with tho romeo. "I have also been disoussing in my ectures the South Carolina liquor aw, that is, tho dispensary system, md also the conditions and tenden tes of United States politics, '"bis B something whioh everybody recog lizes as perplexing and disgusting ind surrounded by dangerous oondi ions." Asked about the rocont contro versy between himself and Souator dcLaurin, he said : "Oh, that matter is too stalo to bo evived-it haB died out. I do not bink MoLaurin stands any moro ihance of being eleoted to tho Sen ate again than I do of being eleoted ^resident. I do not believe tho peo >le of South Carolina aro going to brow away all of tho spirit and .onor that they have fought for and ..ved and cherished for so many rears for tho sake of tho almighty tollar. "MoLaurin is simply masquerading is a Democrat. He claims to be a democrat whon ho is a Republican rom the ground up. Tho 'whole mrden of bis song is, get money. Sentiment is no good ; honor is no ;ood. It is simply got on tho band yagon and ride. "Ho has got to moet this Roose velt business of dining negroes with lis family, too, and it is too much or him to carry, for if there is ono bing wo stand for in tho South it is vhito supremacy." Senator Tillman was asked to ex iress his views of the Atlanta dopot. Iolding his hands aloft ho said : "It is tho abomination of abomina ions. I have just come from St. jonis, where they have tho finest de >ot probably in tho country. You ?an't begin to realizo the effect it has in a porson to come from such a sta ion as that to tho kind you have in Atlanta.

Boys and Cigarettes. Tho Georgia Legislature has taken up the oigarette question again. A dispatoh from Atlanta reports that tho House of Repr?sentatives has passed "by an overwhelming vote" a bill prohibiting tho sale of cigarettes and oigarette papers in tho State, and it is oxpeotcd that the Senato will pass the mcasuro as soon as it ronches that V, "dy. There is no ground, we think, to doubt tho wisdom of saoh legislation so far as it applies to minors, and in the absenoe of information to the contrary we assume that tho Georgia bill applies only to that class of per-1 HODS. It is well known to all medioal mon that smoking tobacco is injuri ous to boys, when carried to excess, and a very moderato indulgence for a man is excess in thoir case. The effect of the praotico is to weaken thc heart and disturb its functions, and how very many young constitu tions in every community are so im pairedjis sufficiently shown whenever physical tests aro required in examina tions for competitive places. Ruled out for a "tobacco heart" has bocomo a familar story in tho country. The cigarette is responsible for most of tho harm done, as it is the mode of smoking most in favor with boys. Comparatively fow men in dulgo in it. It is, therefore, well to strike at tho practice, either generally or specifically with reference to young smokers. It should be prohibited, in in their interest. Tho objection is urged that the Bale of .cigarettes "oan not bo prevented." If so, then smok ing in public should also be forbid den under sharp penalty. Boys do most of their smoking away from their homes and places of employ ment. If they cannot smoko else where except in fear of polico atten tions the evil will bo greatly abated, and it should be abated as far as practicable. The leorgia Legislature is doing a good work, and it should have many imitators.-r-News and Courier. --? ? ?

There is a, slightly larger proportion, ot females now: than ten years ago. There is a dif ference in favor of males at tho pres ent ceusus of 1,815,097, as compared with an excess of males for the equivalent area in 1890 of 5,160,370. Thore has been an inoreaso in total population of 13,233,031, or 21 ;>er oent since 1890, made up of 6,744, . 179 males and 0,489,452 females, representing an increase in males of 20.9 per oent and females 21.1 per cont.

Notwithstanding English sympa thy 1 >r tho negro race everywhere, save within British dominion, race prejudice is as strong there as it could possibly be in tho South. Tho now Australian Parliamont has taken prompt stops for tho re pression of the colored races. A labor bill passed prohibits the immi gration of people who cannot speak some European language At first it was proposed to limit the immi gration to those speaking English, but it was finally decided to extend the privilego to people speaking any European language. As tho bill was intended to difforontiato betwoen whito and black, this requirement was deemed effective. As to gov ernment work, employment is given to whites only, and in all tho mail contracts, whether overland or marine, there is a stipulation that colored labor is not to be used.
