LONDON, July 30.-The English mer-
chants having dealings with the Chinese
evidently do not iutend to allow the
commencement of hostilities between
China and Japan to pass without trying
to make the most OF this opportunity OF
incr easing their bank accounts.
London firms alone, during the last
fortnight, have offered China several
bargains in torpedo boats and they have
also proposed that the Peking govern
ment shall purchase number OF fast
English steamers which. their owners
claim, can readily be converted into
cruisers.
In addition these English merchants
have offered China nearly a thousand
guns of all sizes and makes, as we'll as
fresh lot OF 1000 Mannlicher rifes, with
almost any amount of cartridges. When
these offers were first made the Chinese
government took no notice of them, but
today seversl OF those enterprising En-
gliah firms have received communica.

livery will be the condition OF the sale

TO INCREASE THE ARMY.
GENERAL HOWARD FAV0RS THE
IDEA-HIS PLAN.
He Wants Each State to Have 1000
Additional Regulars Assigned to
1.-THE President Is to
Have Discretion.

New YORK, July 30.-"I am in favor
Of almost any plan to increase the regu-
lar army" said Major-General Q. O..
Howard, in speaking of General Scho-
fields proposition to increase the army
by 10000, $4,000 or 10000. "The gen.
erals idea to give the president power
to enlist large force at his discretion
seems to be valuable one and the re-
suit of mature thought. l should think
it would meet with general approval. l
believe that a hill should be passed by
which each state should have an sddi.
tional 1000 regulars assigned to it. As
General Schofield says, here in the east,
we have fine militia. The efficiency
of the New York regiments is well
known and | want no better drilled
troops than | saw in camp in New Jer-
aey a few days ago.
"But out west the situation is entirely
different. Then, too, the members of
the militia have the.r daily work to do,
and it is great hardship both to them
and the their employers that they
should be called upon so frequently.
When it is considered that it takes fully
10000 men to guard the governments
property. one realizes how insignificant
our force really is. When the first an
srchist outbreak was made in Chicago,
even Fort Sheridan WAS practically with
out garrison. AS the mob at that
time numbered $4,000, the general, his
staff and the governmental buildings in
Chicago were absolutely unprotected.
"There is another point which must
ha +ok- 80 n,,r -,
inal classes are steadily increasing, as
we'll as our foreign population. Estimate
the number of convicts who serve their
time and are uniformly unable to get
work. Then assume that this class
should organize. and there should be an
uprising on their part at such time as
during the recent lawless troubles. New
York city could hold its own, but what
other city could? Please quote me as
favoring an increase in the size OF the
regular army"

Mr.. Harris Presents Supplemental
Statement to the Reilly Bill.
WARRINGTON, July 30.-Mr. Harris of
Kansas. member OF the house COM
mittee on Pacific railroads, has submit
ted the following supplemental state
ment to the minority report against the
Reilly bill:
fully concur in the foregoing views
of the minority. except go far "a the
opinion is expressed that the govern
ment should, in the event of foreclosure,
proceed to sell or transfer the prope rty
acquired to some other corporation or
company, as indicated and suggested in
the Pattieon report.
The agents of thc state, for the pur-
formance OF public duty, have, as
rule, proven incompetent in protecting
the rights and interests of the public
and dishonest in using the power en-.
trusted to them wholly for selfish ends
and for the purpose of building up vast
private fortunes at the expense of the
people.
In the case of tie Pacific railroads,
The object of the original act was stated
to be to promote the public interest and

believe that foreclosure OF the gov
ernment lien should at once follow de-
fault in payment in thvt complete
transccntinental line should be acquired
and operated by the only competent and
legitimate power-the people-through
their government.
Such will be the influence of this
action that probably no further changes
in the transportation system OF the
country will be necessary, but that
everywhere the public duty to bs per-
formed will be recognized as paramount
and that capital honestly invested will
be satisfied with a fair and reasonable
compensation, honestly and justly earn.

About Widening Those Streets.

About Widening Those Streets.
To THr EprroR OF THE NEWS.
SIR-In a recent issue of your valuable
paper there appears an item in which it is
stated that at the last meeting OF the
Board of Trade that body discussed the
matter Of widening certain streets in the
center of the city, and that resolution
was,passed declaring, "That to secure the
needed improvements the cost of such
improvements be - equitably dis
tributed, and toa avoid the hard
ship of obliging property owners
to pay large assessments the Board OF
of Trade recommends that the improve
ment, when deemed necessary, be carried
out under the highway act"
The item referred to goes on To state that
this scheme will not probably b. adopted
without opposition. Well, we should
say as much! Commissioner Smith states
the objection to the plan very succinctly
and very clearly when he says that "the
men who receive the benefit OF
these improvements should pay for them"
This is exactly true. Under the present
methods of assessing property for taxation
the owners of land reap the whole advan-
tage of highway improvements and they
should pay for such improvements. OF
course under a sensible system of
taxation, under which the value
created by the community should
be taken for community expenses, the
plan OF the Board of Trade would be the
only just plan, and would be so recognized
by everybody, but, unfortunately, we are
not living under sensible system of taxa
ton. II is very evident, too, from the
tenor of the resolution quoted above
that its promoters are owners OF
lots on "certain narrow and
and crooked streets near the centre ofthe
city that are unable to accommodate the
traffic upon them," and would not object
to having said lots increased in value
without expense to themselves. Well, il
the people are so stupid as to permit this,
enc can't blame the lot owners. No one
ever wasted any sympathy with the cat
who permitted the monkey to use her paw
to pull the chestnuts from the fire.
= Commissioner Smith Is right, however,
and should be supported in the position
that he has assumed In relation to these
betterments and thes writer hopes, Mr..
Editor, that the commissioner will have
the powerful aid of The NEWS in the
stand for justice that he has taken.

Living I'm England and America.
PROVIDENCE, March s,


To THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS:
SSIR-I have read few articles by XXX
Englishmen. One gives long price list OF
articles of necessaries in England, show
ing bread, butter, cheese, etc, are
dearer there than in America. He
wants to make out another list show
ing that orsnges are as cheap here
as in Florida, and California fruit
is, IL anything, just little dearer in that
State than in Boston, and that this latter
result is due to the munificent Mckinley
BILL Protection cqualizes nii such little
things as transportation expenses, wages
for picking. packing, boxes, etc. That
beautiful nbominatiop, known as Mckin-
leyism, gives us Americans and we ex-
Englishmen cheaper hes, cheaper Shoes
etc, and gives us larger wages. Isthis what
Ex-English means? Docs he mean that
the duty on WHEAT decreases the price OF
wheat? Republicans 90 calm that pro-
lection reduces the cost OF the article
protected TO the consumer, but they
usually draw the line on wheat.
IL seems a trayestv on common sense for
-Englishmen TO say workingmen get
less wages for growing wheat, making
clothes, shoes, etc, and yet the product OF
their labor is dcarcr there than here. III
labor is cheaper and just ss good over
there, aud the product ot labor dearor,
ex Englishman must have come here for
n sinecure. Like other imported articles,
he must be precious.
