In the orient. He has been visited by many
merchants and manufacturers anxious to
gain information respecting the possibilities
of opening up trade with China.
To reporter Mr.. Gefferds said: THE re-
suit of my visit in Chicago has been the
formation of syndicate for the purpose of
establishing an American-Chinese chamber
of commerce, or permanent exhibition for
the introduction of American goods and
wares at Shanghai, the principal mart of
China, and where samples of Chinese pro-
auctions suited to our markets can be seen

can thus be established to the benefit of
both nations
There is a vast field of commercial en-
terprise for us in China and the orient,
which is now being opened, where we can
have unin Interrupted commerce with one
half of the human race, but the history of
our business relations with China for the
past few years is deplorable. The principal
reason for this is that our industries have
not been represented in China by Ameri-

A GIL g A TIC M A P
NJ Cannon Shoots Off q New Idea in the
Senate.
He Proposes q Typographical Model of
of One Foot to the Mile.

Senator Cannon Of Utah today intro
duced joint resolution the final effect of
which. IL 1t is enacted into law, will be to
give to the city of Washington one Of the
most gigantic attractions for tourists and
curiosity seekers possessed by any city in
the world. Mr.. Cannon proposes, In short.
to have constructed In this vicinity a mon
strous map of the United States, showing
every physical feature of the country,
every hill, mountain. valley and plain,
every lake. river. duck pond and fishing
pool, every hamlet, village, town and city,
probably every railroad, canal, towpath,
bicycle track. and perhaps every base ball
park. All this Is to be done in miniature
of course, but on such a scale as will give
a map, IL 1t may be so termed, no less than
half mile in length by one-third of mile
in breadth. The cost Of such project
may DE imagined.
The joint resolution introduced by Mr..
Cannon provides for the appointment Of a
commission of five persons. who are to
serve without compensation, three being
appointed by the President. one by the
President of the Senate and the other by
the Speaker of the House. whose duty 1t
shall be to inquire into and report upon the
advisability, practicability and the cost Of
establishing such a map. which Mr.. Cam
non describes as a ground map OF the
United States, to present our country In
miniature" The map is to be constructed
on such a scale that one foot Of map sur
face will represent one square mile of
actual area.
This would give, as stated, a map ap-
proximately one-half a mile in one dimen-
sion by one-third of mile in the other
dimension, for in round numbers the
United States extends about $500 miles
from east to west and about half that
distance from north to south. This would
give a map $500 feet long by 1.750 wide.
There are about 5 $50 feet in a mile, which
explains the enormous proportions Of the
proposed map.
That Mr.. Cannon is serious in his propo-
stion is indicated by the fact that in pre-
senting the Joint resolution today he an
nounced that in few days he would ad-
dress the Senate on the subject.

HOpes That the Hot Wave May Be

There was nobody sunstruck yesterday,
although any quantity of people imagined

When the sun came up this morning
there were not many evidences Of a very
considerable diminution Of it's force, but
the signal corps promised lots Of nice
things in the shape of probable fall of ten
degrees during the day. At half-past l to-
day the report from the signal office stated
that IT was eight degrees cooler today than
1t was at the same hour yesterday. OF
course, that was very gratifying but not
sufficiently encouraging to make an in

his duty to the American people; that

would not work successfully in the Unit

What darlington Could DO if He Only had
a Mind To.

New York, Feb. 24-The Press TO-
morrow viii have the following: r. c.
Alexander, attorney for Ballington
Booth, ex-commander of the Salvation
Army in the United States, declared
yesterday that his client would not
turn over the American property of the
army to Booth Tucker, the new chief
now coming from London to take
charge of the American army Mr.
Alexander said further that Mr.. Booth
might proceed to reorganize the army
on an independent and distinctly Amer
lean basis
THE Salvation Army is not organized
as a corporation" said Mr.. Alexander
land cannot hold property in its own
name. Nor can a foreigner hold real
estate in this country unless he has de-
clared his intention to become citizen.
and so the army prpperty-all the real
estate property at any rate, has been
acquired in his name.
Legally he is the absolute owner of
property valued at more than 500. 600.
There are no restricting clauses about
holding in trust, or as trustee, in any
of the title deeds. The War Cry be-
longs to him also. He may do with il
exactly as he pleases. Neither his faith
er nor anyone else has a legal right to
interfere with its management or TO
claim penny of what the paper earns. "
Darlington Booth realizes where his
obligations lie and he will not fail to
meet them, but he knows what is in
justice due to him as well. and he will
be guided as we'll as his wife. by the
best interests of the army in this coun-
try. The result of the trouble will be
good. The United States may have its
own army An American army, the
best in the world
The following dispatch was posted
on the bulletin board of the army head
quarters tonight:
Toronto, Ont, Feb. 24-Comrades:
The press has been misinformed con-
corning my visit TO New York. Have
done my duty, with prayers and tears
as a brother, to prevent breech in the
family, hitherto unbroken. and pre-
serve from irrevOcable calamity a
brother unspeakably precious.
Can do no other than leave conse-
Quences with God and time. You have
my truest sympathy this hour of trial.
You may be relied on, l know. TO main
tain a worldwide union OF the Saliva
ton army which is as dear to Ameri-
can Salvationists as is the union of thir
beloved land. Eph. s; 43.
