Very few new books are appearing at the
-.reseat tine, though all the publishing
nouses are premising a number for the
star future. Attention hat already ben
raleld to many of the attractive titles
announced. During the present eek
a few new volumes hare put In as appear
ance. Carman F. Randolph of the New York
bar, and author of "The Law of Eminent
Domain," has written a new work which
he call "The Law and Policy of Annexa
tion." The annexation of the Philippines
U the Immediate reason for this book.
hlch. in dealing with the event Itself, ad
vecates withdrawal of our sovereignty from
the Island and suggests a method for its
accomplishment. In the larger and per
manent purpose of the book the Philippine
question is but the text for a general dis
cussion of annexation with regard to the
policies proper for the guidance of the
United States in the matter of enlarging
its territory, and to-he obligations that
go with their sovereignty. The author br
lleves that in theory of law the constitu
tion is supreme throughout the Jurisdiction
of congress, and he further holds that It Is
the true policy of the republic to discour
age any assumption of sovereignty over land
and people that tends to weaken American
institutions or lower the quality of our
civic body, or dull our sense of Justice. The
volume Is one that must prove of value to
every person Interested in the Philippine
question, or in the broader questions of
territorial expansion The author being a
lawyer, has written from the legal stand
point, and what be has to say on the sub
ject Is certainly orth hearing, even If tht
reader does not entirely agree In all cases
with conclusions reached. Longmans,

The Abbey Press has brought out a vol
me that is something out of the ordinary,
in that It is a reprint of a book published
In Connecticut in 18IS. It tells the story
of a mutiny on board the ship Globe of
Nantucket. In tbe Pacific ocean in l$U.
The captain and all the oSleers were killed
y the mutineers, who took command of tbe
hip, steering it to the 'Mulgrave Islands,
here stores were landed and preparations
made to abandon and burn the ship Pome
of the sailors who were not concerned in
the mutiny had no notion of remaining on
the Islands forever, away from their homes,
and succeeded in escaping with the ship,
leaving the ringleaders and the balance of
tbe crew on the Islands. The mutineer,
treated the natives with great cruelty pro
voking them to such an extent that they
massacred the whole party, with the ex
ception of two sailors, who were prstectrd
by natives whom they bad at different times
befriended. These two sailors were eventu
ally picked up by an American war vessel,
which was sent out as soon as tbe Globe
reached the United States and reported the
circumstances of the mutiny The tmo

PARIS. Feb. SI. The correspondent here
of the Associated Press has excellent au
thority for the statement that Field Marshal
Cost von Waldersee expedition will not
start, as it is believed a decree will be
published In Pekln today accepting the de
mands of the ministers. The expedition,
therefore, will not be necessary. Should
the above Information prove untrue it can
be said upon the same authority it la
most certain Franee and Russia will not
participate in any punitive expeditions, as
those nations have consistent!?, with the
United States, opposed any military
reprisals beyond those necessary to relieve
the legations. The correspondent of tht
Associated Press is Informed that the
French minister of foreign affairs, M.
Dekasse. Is strongly opposed to the pro
posed military expedition.
China Accede to Demands.
PEKIN, Feb. SI. Prince Ching and Li
Hung Chang have received telegraphic In
structions from the court to notify the min
isters of the powers that an edict has been
Issued regarding the punishment of Chinese
officials, confirmatory of the demands made
by tbe ministers, as follows:
General Tung Fuh Slan, to be degraded
and deprived of his rank.
Prince Tuan and Lan to be disgraced and
exiled.
Prince Chuang. Ylng Nien and Chao Shu
Ctlio. to commit suicide.
Hsu Chen Yu, Yu Hslen and Kl Haln, to
te beheaded.
This Is net exactly what tbe ministers de
manded. but It is considered advisable to
agree to It. as the demand for lives has been
agreed to except In the case of General
Tung Fuh Slan, whom the court is power
less to molest There Is a private under
standing that his life will be claimed when
It Is possible.
Think China Has Gained Victory.
The European and Chinese secretaries of
legations and others ho have lived In
China for years consider that China has
gained a victory, as the only man the
court has to behead Is Yu Hslen. The
other two are In the hands of tbe Japanese
and could be beheaded when their execution
is wanted. Suicide is no disgrace whatever
in the eyes of tbe Chinese. No one be
lieves General Tune Fuh Slan will ever
suffer punishment.
People here say Chinese Imperial edicts
are very unstable documents, especially
when private edicts to the executive offi
cials accompany the public edicts. A re
cent decree ordered all Indicted officials to
commit suicide, yet it Is evident a seeret
edict was sent instructing the persons Im
plicated not to obey. What proof. It is
asked. Is there now that the terms of the
decree will be carried out?
Prince Chine ! Alarmed.
Prince Ching is greatly alarmed at the
preparations for the military expedition
into the interior. He asks why they are
not countermanded, now that China has
agreed to the demands of the powers, in
stead of which the preparations continue.
Mr. J. Fowler, the United States consul
at Che Foo, has sent Minister Conger
proclamation Issued by Yuen Shi Kal. the
governor of the province of Shin. Tung,
giving protection to the missionaries and
offering a reward of ZOO taels for tbe cap
ture of any of the ringleaders of the re
cent disturbances, and offering a reward of
100 taels for the capture of others than
those actually committing outrages. The
civil and military authorities will be held
strictly accountable for the good order of
their districts. When outrages are com
mitted they will be disgraced and reported
to the throne. Where no outrages occur
for three years the civil and military au
thorities will be rewarded by a merit tablet
and button.
Tbe merchants of Tien Tsin have sent a
memorial to General ChaSee asking him to
resume the occupation of tbe Formoslas
concession, long ago given up and unoc
cupied, though both the German and the
British commanders talk of annexing it.
The merchants point out that they will be
badly handicapped without tbe concession,
as they would have to pay wharfage to a
foreign power, as well as to tbe Chinese
officials. The general desire is that the
matter Be referred to Minister Conger for
decision.
Pnnlaninent Prescribed.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 21 A cablegram
has been received at the State department
from Minister Conger stating that the
Chinese plenipotentiaries have Informed the
foreign ministers that the emperor has

It is still uncertain whether Mr. Conger's
message marks the passage of this Im

the questions of indemnity and guaranties.
All depends upon whether the foreign min

burn of Iowa used exceedingly strong lan- ,
guage while inveighing against tbe prac- i
tke of hazing, declaring feat the I
large number of desertions from the army
and the lack of men in the navy were due
to the fact that American cltlxens refuse to
serve under men "schooled In tyranny and
oppression." Mr. Hepburn said he had a
list of twenty-five vessels of the United
States wrecked by Incompetent officers since
the close of the civil war. He declared
that oScers stood by each other and with
but a solitary exception the commanders
of these vessels were let off with slight
punishment. He denounced hating In un-
measured terms and said he wanted to see
a fixed and certain punishment for It

Mr. Caunon of Illinois and Mr. Dayton
of West Tlrglnla warmly defended the
navy.
Tbe stir caused by Mr. Hepburn's speech,
however, was mild compared with the row
which was kicked up later over some items
In the bill for extra compensation to em
ployes of the house. Mr. Dinsmore of Ar
kansas exposed the fact that one of the
employes of the house while occupying one
position was drawing salary for another.
1 and that the difference between tbe salaries
was to be made up in one of the items in
the bill.
This led to a general ventilation of the
domestic affairs of tbe house, during which
Mr. Bailey of Texas declared that the
situation was a scandal upon tbe Integrity
of the house. He charged that there fere
employes of the house who were dividing
their salaries with others who performed
no work and challenged anyone on the
other side to deny his allegations. He
offered to produce sworn testimony In sub

Rheumatism
Rheumatic pains are the cries of protest
and distress from tortured muscles, aching
joints and excited nerves. The blood has
been poisoned by the accumulation of
waste matter in the system, and can no
longer supply the pure and health sustain
ing food they require. The whole system
feels the e5ect of this acid poison : and
not until the blood has been purified and
brought back to a healthy condition will
the aches and pains cease.
Mrs. Jttses Ke'-l, of T"7 Nioth street, N. E
Washington, D. C writes as follows: "A few
