The Welhaven. which is n small fruitet,

According to the veracious skipper,
about thirty-five miles southeast OF Cape
Hatteras. the Welhaven experienced Q
shock that shook the trim little vessel
from stem to stern. There were no Ice
berGs in sight, and it was too far south
and too near land for them anyway. the

was that the Welhaven had struck q

ENGLAND AND CHINA.
SAM'L ELMORE,
Proprietor.

England has more views about China
than any other great power with the
exception of Russia. The Russian EN-.
pire overshadows the Atlantic side of
the North Pacific. The commercial In.
terests OF England In China are enor.
nous, and they have been under very
intelligent supervision. The row in
this country about Chinese immigration
has played into the hands OF England.
The general imperial British policy has
been to have huge market in China,
and they have regarded the vast and
ancient Oriental Empire as a rich
prize to be taken as might be found
profitable. 1t has been the European
impression that China had gigantic
military and naval resources, and that
II she advanced In the arts and sciences
and discipline, the habit of arms and
facility OF transit by land and sea, she
might become formidable and aggres-
slve. when there is no telling what
might happen to the world. The events
of the Japanese and Chinese war have
been under careful study, and the
blank astonlshment at first touching
the energy of the Japs and the leth-
argy of the Johns, has been succeeded
by apprehension. China appears to be
thoroughly beaten and her capital in
danger, and she wants to surrender
and pay indemnity. The mighty
rulers are ANNOYED by the war, and
want to stop It so as to enjoy their
peace of mind. This Is an advertise.
ment to the armed nations that China
is ripe for robbers. She is the biggest
watermelon on the face of the earth |
TO be cut In slices. England, being
modest nation, is willing to take the
core Tor her snare. she wants the con-
querine Japs checked In their wild ca,
reer while the stealing remains good,
ami It win never do to allow the Japs
to get a foothold on the continent and
apply their executive ability to the
Chinese raw material, Hence the pious
commercial solicltude of England that
this cruel war should soon be over,
and she Is as anxious TO be the chief
peace-maker in Asia as william OF
Germany is to be the head mourner
at the funeral of the Car OF course
It Is personal benevolence and personal
sorrow all around.

The chrysanthemum show which
takes place in Portland on the 2ist.
22d, and Esd of this month. reminds one
Of the fact that this years chrysan-
themum season witnesses the two ma
tions which are the most successful In
the cultivation of this remarkable
flower. engaged in waglng bitter
war against each other. The ehrysan.
themum is the national flower OF Jap,
an, and the Order OF the Chrysanthe-
mum the most highly esteemed Of any
conferred by the Mikado The Chinese
are not much behind their rivals in
cultivating the flower and some Of
their achievements In this line are
among the most remarkable In the de-
partment Of horticulture.
The popularity OF chrysanthemums
is due TO their great beauty. wonderful
variety in form and color. to the fact
that they keep fresh longer than al
most any other flower, and that they
bloom when almost an other blossoms
have faded from the garden beds. To
say that chrysanthemums are popular
is a wholly inadequate statement II Is
nearer to say that the flower arouses
an enthusiasm which increases year hy

year. This has stimulated growers to
renewed efforts. until the result has
been series of surprises which ap-
pear to be almost without limitation.
It is one Of the pleasing peculiarities
OF this interesting flower that It does
not require the skilled hand Of the
professional gardener to bring 1t to a
high state Of cultivation, but the anna,
teur, with reasonable amount of at
tention can achieve a gratifying amount
OF success. For weeks the blossoms
will retain their perfect form and brill
liant color, resisting ordinary inroads
Of Jack Frost, and only succumbing to
the severe attacks. The latter may be
guarded against by shielding the plants
with an awning or covering them with
newspapers. With careful attention of
this kind, some of the most beautiful
blossoms may be kept until Thanks
giving, and those having greenhouses
manage to preserve flowers until
