The Result of the Japan China War VIII
BE of Great benefit to Civilization.

he OF Great Benefit to Civilization.
WASHINGTON. May 1.3-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 eff
fected with China A provision is
made that China shall hereafter be
open to the introduction of all forms
of modern machinery, and that such
machinery shall be admitted free of
duty. American cotton machin-
cry should benefit especially
from the new opening pre-
scented. and also telephones, electric
lights, printing presses and many other
devices of civilization which hereto
fore have been kept out of China. The
emperor OF China has heretofore pro-
hibited the introduction of modern ma
ehinerv As a result the Chinese are
using wooden plows similar to those
used centuries ago. Modern tools are
included under the head of machinery
and mechanical devices, so that
the American pillow and all other
implements and tools will en-
ter China free of duty. 1t
is stated that cotton machinery
will be brought at once into extensive
use, thus enlarging the demand for
cotton from the southern states. The
Chinese use so much cotton that the
emperor granted a monopoly of using
cotton machinery to the viceroy of the
southern provinces of China. He has
since produced large quantities, and
has prevented the British and Ameri-
cans at Shanghai and elsewhere from
using similar machinery. Now, how
ever, the viceroy's monopoly is at an
end and American machinery is ex-
expected to be freely introduced

IART, MONTANA. NOVEMBER 30. 1895.
Fleet Nearly Stationary.

The annual report of the bureau
of navigation shows that the num-
bers and tonnage of our merchant
fleet for the year has been nearly
stationary. On June 30 it com
prised 23,24O documcnted vessels of
1876 800 tons. a decrease of 10000
tons since June 30. 1894. This de-
crease is attributable to business in
activity two summers ago, the pro-
duction of our shipyards in April,
May and June this year much ex-
ceeding the productions during the
same months in 1894.
The chief events have been the in
itial trips of the st. Louis and st.
Paul. Our fleet on the great lakes
alone outnumber the fleet of any ra-
ton except England and Germany.
The report is devoted chiefly to rec
concentrations for the appeal ofmany
of our navigation laws of the last
century, which were copied verbatim
