trated by large number of stereopticon
views made from negatives taken by Mr..
Carpenter in China. The lecture last night
contained a vast amount of news facts,
and gave the audience a new view of the
Chinese question. Beginning with the as
sertion that the great danger to be appre-
hended from the Chinese is through their
immense Industrial possibilities. Mr.. Car
penter took his audience through some of
the most crowded parts of the celestial en-
pire anu showed them how these millions
of people will work a day Of ten hours for
10 cents He says the Chinese are the
equal of any people in the world as me-
chanics. He described his visit through
their great factories and arsenals and ex-
hibited photographs which he made in
these establishments just before the war
began. Ordinary mechanics get about %
cents a day and a foreman in charge of
machine shops is paid SIS month. The
same men in America would receive from s.
to So and upwards day. During the latter
part of the talk Mr. Carpenter told some
thing of the wages of the railroad men
whom he met during his ride on the new
Chinese railroad. Car makers and painters
are paid about So a week and brakemen get
about Is cents day. In the mines he
found three thousand miners were working
for about 63 cents week each, and station
agents along the line were getting . cents
day. Mr. Carpenter says there are vast
deposits of coal and iron All over China:
that the country is filled with undeveloped
material resources, and il is only ques-
ton Of time when its people will be shipping
all kinds of goods TO ever part of the

Carpenter met many of the Chinese mobiles

nese capital. He took them through its
its filthy streets, its shabby public buildings
and then paid his respects TO the Chinese
