Few-Line Interviews.

Mrs. J. K. Jones, wife of the Senator who is perhaps better known as the chairman of the Democratic national committee, in answer to an inquiry regarding her opinion of womefi in politics, said, among other things: "I think woman’s place is at home, ministering to the comfort of husband nnd children. My sphere has always been home. I do think, though, that all women should read and understand as much as they can about leading questions, so they can 1* interested in what interests their husbands. I am not a member of any club or organization. The money question doesn’t bother me at all. So long ns there is plenty of money I don’t care what kind it is. Besides, I am for whatever my husband wishes, whether it is right,or wrong.” 110 Yow, Chinese consul general in San Francisco, a diplomat only second in Importance in this country to the Chinese minister in Washington, says of the Chinese: “The Chinese are well armed. They are well supplied with Weapons of the latest pattern, many of them manufactured in our own great arsenals. Shantung province is notable for its men of fine physique and stature. This province could probably place in the field a large force, all closely approaching or exceeding six feet in height. Whatever China may hove been in the past, she is no Insignificant enemy to cope with to-day. Her strength is formidable, and if it is to be underestimated by invaders the result will be terrible slaughter.” Minister M u has revised his opinion of the “lo<’al disturbances" in China. He now says: “My Government has its hands completely tied. They arc unable to handle inobo, as many of the soldiers they send to attack them become dissatisfied, or nre r.lready so for some reason, and desert to the enemies of the Government. What could one possibly do under the circumstances? I am deeply grieved, nnd most sincerely trust that the information contained in.the press dispatches is not true. If it should prove to lx- so my worst fenra are realized, anti I nm unable to tel) what the outcome will be.” Capt. T. C. Pearce of the national ftsb commission says about fish in Illinois nnd vicinity; "If we make any distribution In Mlinoin this year, we doubtless will fnrninh the sanitary canal with its share of fish. In my judgment the several varieties of bass would be the best fish to place In Illinois stream*. We have s; ent most of tho winter in northern Michigan and western ludinna, ami have distributed trout, whitefish and white perch in Lakes Michigan, Huron nnd R.iperlor.” I*l We goes before a punctured tire.
