China is the only country in the world
that has no national debt. The treasury
is very rich, and the resources of the gov
eminent for raising money are almost
limitless. 1t may be said, therefore, that
China can command all the money she
wants-a most important matter when a
country goes to war Another interest
ing popularity about China is the fact
that it is the only country in the world
in which every sane man can read and
write. Education, at least to a certain
extent, is compulsory, and has been so
for hundreds of years.

The wonders of the modern means of
communicating information were forcibly
illustrated in the MORNING News tele-
graphic columns yesterday and the day
before The news of the sinking of the
Chinese battleship Chen Yuen by the
Japanese navy on Monday, was received
in Shanghai on Tuesday morning. On
the next morning the people of Savannah,
nearly 5000 miles away, read the account
of the fight as they slipped their coffee at
breakfast. On Wednesday Japan de-
clared war; on Thursday at breakfast
time the news, in concise form, had been
placed in every regular newspaper
readers hands That is modern Journal
ism. Similar instances OF the efficiency
Of the newspaper system of collecting and
disseminating news from all quarters of
the world occur so frequently nowadays
that people have come to look upon the
achievements as matters of course. And
really, they are, under the demands OF
the day. Nevertheless the performances
are but little snort of miraculous. Time
and space are no longer considered, ex.
cept in so far as it takes time for a CORE
spondent TO write a dispatch and for tele
graph operators TO transmit it.

The intelligent people who mingled
with the mobs in Chicago during the re-
cent disturbance, probably shuddered
when they read the general orders to the
troops, just made public. to think how
narrowly great bloodshed was escaped.
The troops were cautioned against firing
into a crowd containing mere curiosity
seekers, who were taking no part in tho
riot, until fair warning had been given
but at the same time they were told that
the mobs forcibly resisting authority
were public enemies, and must be put
down. And that meant shooting.

WAS IT SET ON FIRE I?
Trolley Car Burned in the De Kalb
Avenue Stables.
The Entire Depot Narrowly Escaped
Destruction.
Supt. Heines Believes It Was an
Incendiary's Work.

Supt ]. l.. Helms, of the De Kalb Ave-
nue. Trolley line, to-day visited Brook
Ign Police Headquarters and asked Com
missioner welles to investigate what he
believes was a malicious attempt to burn
down the Company's stables at De Kalb
and Central avenues.
About $40 o'clock last night the watch
man in the stables discovered fire in car
No. $50. He Immediately turned in an
alarm, but before the engines arrived
the entire car was enveloped In flames.
The burning car stood on a track in
the middle of the depot with about one
hundred other cars around 1t. 1t had
not been in use for two weeks, and the
dry wood made good fuel for the flames.
For few minutes before the engines
arrived 1t looked as though the depot,
which occupies the entire block. would
be destroyed.
The firemen managed to keep the flames
confined to the car, and there was little
or no damage done to the building.
Supt. Helms says he has every reason
to believe that the fire was of incendiary
II have no idea who set the car on
fire." said he. II do not believe 1t was
any Of our employees, as we have had
no trouble with the men.
II am positive though, that the fire
was caused by some malicious person
a flrebug"
Capt. Kitzer, Supt. Helms said, was
asked last night to begin an Investigation
into the fire Immediately after 1t .was
put out, but as he had heard nothing
from the police he went to see Commis
sloner Weiles to-day and reported thu
matter personally.
Supt Campbell put two Central once

LONG ISLAND CITY. June 23.-The
grave-diggers and teamsters employed
In Calvary Cemetery met last night at
Laurel Hill and organized a union
to devise some means to prevent a
prospective reduction in wages.
The men have also a grievance against
Timekeeper Ryan. They say he Ia a
regular autocrat; that he fined Patrick
O'Burn two hours pay because he rested
few minutes after digging a grave 9
feet deep. They say Ryan dismissed
Hugh Clark, another grave-digger, be-
cause he drank a glass of beer with his
dinner. John Hart, who was the first
fined one-half days pay by Ryan be-
cause. he did not hurry TRY W, 70 work

said ne would rather work.
1t was decided to present the griev-
ances to Archbishop Corrigan, Chair
man Of the Board of Trustees of the

Of Ryan. The men will also ask the
Archbishop to prevent their wages being
