AT latest dates it seemed possible that
the Shans might intervene and convert the
conflict into triangular duel. Ihese
Shans are ten tribes of warlike noun
talneers who have maintained an indepen-
dent existence for thousand years, more
or less. They are far from the seacoast
and the European world knows little
about them. But tAey spread from Man

accustomed sagacity Ii Hung Chang has
coveted their alliance. He realizes the
value OF buffer state.
Siam is one or two stages in advance OF
Korea. The people are still practically
slaves, and there is no check on the
authority Of the King. The consequence
is that there is no popular initiative, and
the soil does not yield over one-third OF
whatit might produces. The French inva-
sion reused no popular resentment, and IN
the absence of public support the late
King was compelled TO accept the terms
offered by the French, arbitrary and I'M

THE FlTniAN FREE SHIP BILL.

There are two measures the Dem ocrats
propose apparently to put off until the No.
vember election. One is the Reilly fund
ing bill, the other the Fthan frees hip
bill. The Hthisn bill is designed to bring
about free trade in ships. There is some:
provision made to protect the coastwise
trade from the com petition Of cheap for
eign vessels, but it is not clear how an.
American. vessel or foregn-built vessel
that is naturahZed by American registry
is to be kept from participating in any
trade in which Its owners are engaged,
There is n halfway house on the road to.
free ships: The only way TO protect
American hip-buiding is to deny foreign
built vessels American registry. The
friends OF tbs Fithlan bill say that the new
tariff act will add largely to our foreign
commerce. 1t is urged chat If we import
goods from. Europe which vie have been
m manufacturing under the protective policy.
the least we can do is to do the work of
carrying ourselves. But they admit that
we cannot get the carrying job unless we
buy cheap foreign ships they propose
therefore to open our. market to the own
ers of tramp steamers. who have looked
for long time upon the rich coastwise
trade of the United States; The propos all
to destroy the ship building Industry in the
United States comes at an uDpropitious
time. We have just established our ability
to build as fine vessels as float, either for
peace or..war purposes. We have plants
that have cast millions Of dollars and are
able to do all the building there Is TO
be done in the United States. But at the
present rates OF labor an American vessel
costs somewhat more than foreign built
vessel. The Fithian bill proposes 10 render
these plants valueless and to throw those
employed out of job in the interest of
foreign ship builders. =

SUGAR.

Free-trade Democrats are calculating on
Republican votes in the Senate to pass the
separate bills the House has sent to that
body. They will try to make it appear
that a Republican Senator who votes
against putting sugar on the free list is
Influenced by the sugar trust. In point of
fact, however, Republicans favor free
sugar only when the home sugar industry
IS protected by a bounty. Sugar would
not have been made free under the Nc
Kinley bill withoutsthe sugar-bounty feat

be considered. When the Mckinley bill
