Chairman the military affairs commltte, In presenting the army appropriation bill to the the house Wednesday urged of complete preparedness necessity as to our army and navy, for trouble In the Orient. He declared that any nation not prepared to defend Its position In China might as well haul down its flag and quit the Pacific. Incidentally Mr. Hull pronounced Minister Rockhill guilty of an Indiscretion in indicating to Chinese officials that the United States intended 20,000,000 sterling returning the Boxer indemnity paid. Statements of this kind, he said, will be taken by the Chinese as an Indication that the United States was afraid rather than liberal. Mr. Hull scouted the Idea that Japan was Interested In stirring up trouble In China to injure the United States. Japans interests In China, he laid, were Identical with those of the United States and preservation of peace there was the only manner In which they could be maintained. Speeches on tariff, immigration and ;he Payne customs house bill consumed the balance of the day. The army appropriation bill under Jebate carries a total appropriation of IC9.C78.927, which is less by $1,521,158 than the amount asked for by the department. WEIGHING THE MAILS.

BY IgARY EEVEREUX Toulon, on the Mediterranean, was at this time the great military depot Its Inhabitants numbered about twenty-fivthousand; and more than fifty frigates and ships of the line rode at anchor in Its harbor, while within its spacious magazines was collected an Immense quantity of military and naval stores. Scarcely a day passed during the fall and early winter of 1793 that did not bring to the city families and Individuals from all parts of France, seeking protection from the Revolutionists cureltles outrages which the Committee were either unable to control, or to which they were indifferent. At Toulon, the friends of the old monarchy argued among themselves that the violence with which their land had been filled was too terrible to be longer endured; and they began to discuss the Idea of surrendering the city, its magazines, forts and ships, to the combined English and Spanish fleets lying outride its harbor, and thus help to bring about a return of law and reason to Insane France. Among those In Toulon who heard of the proposed surrender was Margot, who, with Jean and Pierre, safe under the humble roof of their new home, had for these many bionths enjoyed a security she had never before known. In a measure her own mistress, and removed from the dread of Etienne, she found reliance and peace in the kindly guidance of PeFe Huot, to whom the boys went each day for instruction, his abode being some distance from Margots small house, which was In a retired part of the city, near the suburbs. A surrender suggested to her the possibility of bringing scenes of bloodshed and violence; and the very name of English was to her as also to most of her compatriots the syn- - of France. e slp at the various eating and drinking places frequented by them. One of these was called Le Chien house situated Heureux, a down near one of the quays. Lights were blinking brightly from its small windows, and inside several stoves were burning, where Thiel, the landlord, and his one assistant, were preparing supper for several civilians and soldiers who sat about, talking and drinking, at the various small tables. Sitting near the fire, two soldiers and a citizen, together with Jean and Pierre, were listening to a man in their midst, who, from his talk and appearance, seemed to have been an extensive traveler. This was Laro, an habitue of Le Chien Heureux when on shore from the Algle, a rakish-lookin- g brigantine, of which he was owner and captain. Jean listened with an attention which, for some reason, appeared to amuse Laro, who, now and then, with a quizzical smile lighting his black eyes, glanced askance at the boys enraptured face. Laros story had been listened to by others seated around the tables, who occasionally reminded Thiel to hurry two-stor- y their suppers. The next minute a man came In, the uniform of a petty soldierly-lookin- g officer showing as be unclasped and threw off the heavy cloak that had enveloped him. After demanding supper as speedily as possible, he seated himself some distance away from the group at the fire. But Pierre had been staring at him; and now the sound of his voice caused Jean to Btart, and turn his bead quickly In the direction of the shadowy corner where the soldier was seated. he breathed.

Goldfield, the terminus of the Toonpah road from the north, Is also seventy miles from Bullfrog, making the hauling distance the same.

Her fears were realized when the surrender was accomplished, and the English ships sailed triumphantly Into port, landing five thousand of their own troops and eight thousand Spaniards. This proceeding was regarded with the greatest alarm and Indignation by the Revolutionists, who, considering the surrender an act of treachery, resolved to retake Toulon, and drive the allies from the soil of France. Two armies were marched upon Toulon; and a siege was begun which for three months made but little apparent progress. Affairs within the city became unsettled, and were soon almost demoralized; and Pere Huot having fallen seriously ill, Margot's heart grew heavy, as Jean, seeming to throw off all restraint, wandered day after day Must Die for Murder. about the streets, associating with Springfield, 111.
