Washington News.

Washington News.
Washington, May 1G.-Large oppor-
tunitieS for the introduction OF Amer
lean machinery and the investment of
American capital are offered by the
peace agreement japan has just affect
ed with China \ provision is made
that China shall hereafter be open to
the introduction of all forms of mod
ern machinery and that such machin-
cry shall be admitted free Of duty.
American cotton machinery should
benefit especially from the new open
ing presented and also telephones,
electric lights, printing presses and
many other devices of civilization
which heretofore have been kept out Of
China. The emperor of China has
heretofore prohibited the introduction
of modern machinery. As a result the
Chinese are using wooden plOws, sim
liar to those used centuries ago. Mod
ern tools are included under the head
of machinery and mechanical devices
so the American plow and other i'm
PIGMENTS and tools will enter China
free Of duty. 1t is stated that cotton
machinery will be brought at once into
extensive use, thus enlarging the de-
mand for the raw cotton of the south
ern states. The Chinese use so much
cotton that the emperor granted q
monopoly of using cotton machinery to
the Viceroy of the southern provinces
of China. He has since produced large
quantities and has prevented the Brit
iSh and Americans at Shanghai and
elsewhere from using similar machin-
cry. Now, however, the viceroy's mon
opoly is at an end and American ma
chinery is expected to be freely intro
duced there.
The privileges secured by Japan are
enjoyed by the world at large, as the
most favored nations clause compels
China to give other countries the same
favors extended to Japan.
MARINE POSTAL SERVICE.
The postmaster general has decided
to establish a marine postal service at
Detroit, Mich, for the free delivery and
collection of mail matter of the YES

Of $500 to 5000. More tonnage passes
Detroit than any other port in the
world. During the season of navigation
on the great lakes, a vessel passes De-
troit every seven minutes during the
day of twenty-four hours. The new
mail service will, therefore, be continu-
Gus and will be conducted by means of
a steam launch which will be used by
the postal employees. The new service
