Springfield Republican,: His remarks
about the Importance of missions in the
West to overcome rowdyism and
drunkenness, said to be prevailing
there, has given serious offense to a
great many people. A senator from a
state which is as far West as a person
can get on this continent says there is
nothing like the necessity for moral re-
generation there that there is in the
tenderloin district of New York, a few
blocks from where Mr.. Cleveland was
speaking. There is some excuse for
Mr.. Cleveland, though. He has never
been West. He has probably gathered
his impressions of the country of the
setting sun from the cowboy and dia-
lect stories of the space writers. who
do not find the plain facts market

fully evident that Mr.. Rich is grooming

CHINA SINCE THE WAR.
Minister DENLY Says Its Trade Has
StendfIy ExInuded

Under the title OF Trade of China for
1895" Mr.. Charles Denby. United States
minister at Peking, has furnished the State
Department with valuable and interesting
information relating 70 the commercial cor
ditions OF that kingdom following the close
of the war. Notwithstanding the ceSSion
OF Fornosa and the closing OF the New
Chang custom house for several months, the
trade OF China with both Western and
AsIatiC countries increased and expanded.
The trade with the United States, while
less than for 1894, was greater than for
any other year in the preceding eight. The
exports TO the United States in 1898
amounted TO l 3. 5.3S3. ice taes: the imports
from this country 10 5.G93. 80 taeiS of
which more than 5000 600 taeIs were for
Kerosene oil. 1t is EOticeabIe from the
figures given that in 1895 the import of
Russian Oil exceeded that of American oil
in quantity and value for the first time in
the history OF the trade. This is accounted
for by the large stock of American oil i'm
ported in 1894 and held over the year.
The close of the war said Mr.. penby,
was looked forward TO as the date from
which China was TO depart from her
traditional policy is TO ointernalimprOvemen
and development. While the views OF The
most enthusiastic have not been realized
and China has shown a cautious Conser-
vatSn, there has been no want OF progress.
Some railroads have been built but as TO
the general problem of railroad constrEc-
tion the Chinese government stands com
mitted TO the policy of using Chinese
money only
Mr.. Denby thinks, however, that this
policy will not avail for lines OF any great
extent and he predicts that China Will
resort eventually TO the aid of foreign
syndicateS.
The railroad development of China has
attracted the attention OF American Imam
ciers and builders of rolling stock and
equipment. Many agents of American
firms are now in that country awaiting the
adoption OF some definite plan by the
ir}perial government At least two com
binatiOnS of American capitalists repre-
sented there by agents are prepared to build
ana equip from heginningtO endany railroad
system which China may desire.
Mr. DENLY adds that the high standard of
excellence recently attained by Americans
