In the August issue of Everybody's Magazine the delightful autobiography of Stuart Robson grows in fascination. The lights and shades of a great actor's career stand out vividly. It is a human document,?a confidence, and the reader shakos hands, as it were, with many famous figures of that day. The title for the nonth, in the serier of Great American Industries, is "Where We Get our Salt and How" and ihe k'Sinij>le Explanation" is of 'Tides, Trade Winds and Tornaioes." Elementary ? Very likely but everybody cannot explain >flfiiand?as Everybody's does? lie theory of the tides, for jo dance. The short stories are all ;oinplete and peculiarly well ihosen. The articles on "Britlin's Fighting Elephants," "Wl at i Bicycle Can Carry," "How Italy Hobs Her Poor", "Deaf and Dumb >oldiers" and "A Town Slipping nto the Sea" are well worth readng, in fact there is entertainment in every page of this issue and otnething more?intense interest, HOW'S THIS?

London, July 23.?Sir Chih Jhih Chen Loh Feng, the Chinese minister in London, took the un jsual atep yesterday of paying a Sunday call at the foreign office. As Lord Salisbury was absent, the visit was without special re* lult, but its importance may be gathered from an interview with IIih hoornl ary ot the Chinese legs* lion, Sir Halliday Msccartuey in which the legation officials set m to have assomed at last something like person*! responsibility. Sir Hallidav admitted that zoinmunication had been pracn sally reopened with Pekin and that messages from Sir Claude Macdonald, the British minister, ilia me oiner lareign envoys might be expected almost immediately. H? said he hoped the trouble would soon be over, since the Chinese government was do ing its utmost to overcome the difficulties and to control the law less element. In his opinion the Americans had taken the most common sonse view of the situation, and he insisted that China ought not be misjudged. Against the suspicion that Li Hung Chang hap any but a sincerely pacific ob;ect in view he protested warmly, declaring that nil stories about the perfidy and treachery of Earl Li were "absolutely baseless," With regard to the prospects n the southern provinces, the lecretary admitted that there might he small outbreaks but he laid there would be nothing seri)us and that Europeans would be luite safe in treaty ports. The otig silence he explained as "due irohablv to the rebels, who h?v? :ut the (wires and blocked the oads." Thus according to the secretary if the Chinese legation, a few lays more should bring a golulon of the great mystery. Neverheless no one in England >elieves that the alleged dis latches and edicts are anything >ut subterfuges to hide the real ituation as long as possible and o avert retribution by sowing liscord among the powers. ^ HMPRE88 DOWAGER MOVING. From Shanghai comes a report hat the empress dowager and he court are moving to Hsiao "u (?), in the province of Shan >i, to which large stores of rice ire being sent, and that, when hese arrangements are completid, the remaining viceroys will leHare against foreigners. CHINESE DISHEARTENED. According to the Che Foo corespondent of the Daily Mail the he fall of Tien Tain has so disleartened the Chinese that they ire seeking terms of peace. He ay that several attempt* have >eeu made to send message* to i'ekin but so far without anv mown results adds that rumois ire agaiu current that the Kus lians are reaching Pekin from he north. It in impossible to con Irm or deny these statements; )ut either one might explain China's effort to gain time.

We hope that it hai been general all over the county the Daily Mail declares thai the Chioeee officials are thoroughly frightened by the fall of Tien Tain .and desire to open nogotia lions. "'Therefore," he continues, "although all are aware of the horrible Pekin massacres, every official down to the humblest re tainer has been sworn to secrecy upon tho penalty of wholesome executions should the detail? leak out.. Thev hope, if the powers once begin negotiations, to stop the military operations and that matters might, cool down." There 11 the usual crop of Shanghai rumors at hand th 1 e morning. One is that Prince Tuan has been abducted and that the empress dowager is again supreme. Another is that the notorious Kang Yi, president, cf the board of war, has been appointed viceroy of Canton. FIOHTINO RRRKL8 ONLY. The Tien Tain correspondent of the Daily News says the allies have issued a proclamation announcing that they are not fighting China, but only the rebels who have been guilty of attacks upon the foreigners. The decision to keep the Indian division at Hongkong is supposed to be due to the disquieting pro ceedings of the "black flags" at Canton. It is reported that the Bogue forts are being rearmed by the Chinese with quick firing Krupp* and large stores of am munition and that the Chinese are mounting guns and laying torpedoes at various advantageous points between Woo Sung and Wu Chang. The foreigners and Japanese traders have evacuated Niu Chwang, where the roads are now guarded by Jap anese marines. Li Hung Chang's visit tc Shanghai seems to be a complete failure. Except the Chinese cus torn official?, no ono has visited him. Sheng, the chief magistrate, gave the consuls a cordial invi tation to meet him at luncheon but all declined. The Shanghai corespondent ol The Daily Express pretends tc have authority for the assertior that (ireat Britain will repudi ate any credentials Li Hung Chang may bring from the em press dowager, and he adds "Russia, however. is willing tc make terms with Li Hung Ohane whose real mission is to sow diR SCHEDULE STATE CAMI PAIUN 1900.
