THE FALL OF CHINA is NEAR.
Manchurians Welcome the Japanese.

SHANGHAI, Nov. 9, 1S94.-The STAN
pede of the Chinese throughout Man
churia continues. Since the advance
of General Nodsu's force to FengH u-
ang-Cheng and the dispersal of the
Chinese there, the japanese troops
have searched in vain for an organized
body of the enemy.
The Japanese are now marching
westward and southwark unopposed.
They are everywhere welcomed with
enthusiasm by the entire population
excepting the officials-who find
themselves relieved from the oppres-
sion of the mandarins, under whom
they have suffered patiently SO long.
Likewise in the province of Chilli
there will be no stand made by the
Chinese against the japanese until
Pekin is reached. which Colonel Han
neken is fortifying with all haste.
At meeting of the Emperor, Prince
Kung and the Grand Council, held
yesterday, it was determined that the
court and the personnel of the govern
ment shall leave the capital before it
falls into the hands of the Japanese.
1t is believed that an entente exists
between Viceroy Li-Hung Chang and
Japan. 1t is even said that he has
gone to Port Arthur to watch the oper-
ations there, instead of following the
command of the Emperor to proceed to
Pekin. Many of his relatives have
vanished, quietly taking with them
their valuables and personal effects.
The humanity of the Japanese, which
has caused the people of Manchuria to
welcome them as friends and deliver
ers, and the unexpected display they
have made of splendid statecraft, have
created CONSERVATION in Pekin.
Two Children Perish in Burning Barn.
Just as this paper goes to press tele-
phone message from Timberville brings
news of an awful catastrophe near
that village.
The barn belonging to Daniel NJ.
Beam, ESQ.,, is in flames and two chill
dren lost their lives. One was the son
of Mr.. Beam, Il bright little fellow
about five years of age, and his COM
panion was the child of Stuart Lawson,
who lives with DIR. Vaughan.
From the meagre particulars obtain
able it appears that the two children
were at play in the barn, and it is sup
posed that they in some way set fire to
the building. 1t is also supposed that
the ire spread rapidly In the nay and
cut off their escape.
Mr.. Beams son was an only child, to
which he was very tenderly attached,
and his numerous friends throughout
Rockingham county will sympathize
deeply with him in this terrible affiic-
Rockingham Register.

The London Mining Journal of date
of Nov. "a, gives an extended account
of the meeting of shareholders of the
Poorman Mining Company, convened
to reorganize the company by taking 1t
over from the New Jersey Company
and putting under an English directory
as the Poorman Mines, Limited. The
plan will doubtless be carried out which
contemplates exchanging the present
shares for like number of shares in
the new company which will have q
capital stock of 9250,000, representing
], 100000 shares of FIVE shillings each.
Debentures will be issued to the amount
of e25, 900 for he construction of a new
mill ana other improvements.
In its "Notes and Comments" the
same Journal contains the following:
Mr.. Grothe's report on the condition
of the Poorman Consolidated Mines is
written with temperance and judgment
not always to be met with in literature
of the kind. There is about it an al
most ostentalious avoidance of exager-
ated encomium, which clearly marks
the author as a man of cold aud delib-
crate opinions. No hopes of phenom-
inal dividends are held oot, but pro-
ceeding upon reliable premises, 'it is
clear that not only will the expenditure
required for the building of new mill,
which l estimate at $4,000, be fully
justified, but the shareholders may also
look forward to handsome return on
the capital already invested in the un-
dertaking.r Shareholders could hardly
wish to be spoken too in less emotional
terms. Then there is the similarly
coldly-reasoned remark that "a very
careful investigation of the mine has
produced the impression upon my mind
that the property may be called very
valuable one, well opened up, and cap
able of producing at once, and for sew
eral years to come, about 60 tons of ore
per day-t that is, suffi cent to keep 80
stam4 mill going" Clearly, these sem
tences justify the hope that, under the
changed conditions, and with the now
mill, the concern will ultimately be-
come successful one.

The Poorman Mines.

Everybody in Owyhee is pleased to
learn of the negotiations of that COM
pany, or at least will be, if it should re-
suit in the rebuilding of the mill and
the working of that great property on
its merits. The draw backs, disasters
and manipulations which has kept this
great group of mines so long from sue
cessful operation that those who have
not actually examined them have be-
gun to loose faith in their value. But
Mr.. Grothe an expert whose opinion is
valuable has confirmed what has many
times been said in the NUeGT that this
property had great reserves of valuable
ore, and now it is confidently expected
here that under the reorganization re-
suits will be attained as soon as mill
can be built, which will bring the prop
erty into greater prominence than ever
before.

1t would be amusing were7it not Of
SO much imporrsnc, to the American
people, to read the schemes Of the
Bankers in regard to placing the 6nsn-
ces Of the country on a firm basis.
Since Mr.. Carlisle has opened up bis
plan to forever place the issuing OF pa
per money out Of the power Of the
Government and into the hands Of
these patriotic ~ gentlemen, they
have been almost breaking their necks
in their haste to offer suggestions to
our Lawmakers. A comparison of their
methods leads person to wonder what
the difference is between twiddldee
ard twiddledum. The same motive Is
at the bottom Of the whole thing. Re-
tire the Government paper, issue bonds
to the amount of such paper, some
$500. 900, 600. thereby increasing the
bond interest SIS. 1000 annually.
Give the Bankers power to issue an al
most unlimited amount OF paper money
and they. think they would be reason
ably satisfied, providing the Govern
ment will not remonatize silver. Holy
Moses Did any one ever hear ofsuch
gall? They ownihe earth already and
will not be satisfied until they have q
fence around it. The Carlisle bill, in
some form, will no doubt be passed.
