HOTEL AND CORRIDOR.

George E. Burgoyne. junior member OF
Weiser & Co., the largest tea and wooden
importers at Shanghai, China is return
in@ TO the land of his adoption, after an
absence OF nearly a year, which has been
passed in England and the United States.
The traveller related some astonishing
things about the future of the Monaghan
empire. He predicts that il will nearly
destroy the commerce of the civilized ma
tions before another century has gone
The extent of its resources, the adapt
ability of its varied soil and climate, and
the frugal cost of production are pitted
against the combined production of other
countries.
China has awakened from her sleep of
centuries said Mr.. Burgoyne last night,
and when 1 make that statement l mean
that the men in power have come sud-
denly to realize that railroads and ma
chinery will do more toward the up
building of fabulous fortunes than
millions of human hands. Our firm has
just arranged for the construction of a
cotton mandatory, with 5000 spindles.
We have enough cotton abori Shanghai
to supply the markets of the world at a
price with which no other section can
compete. Other factories are in process
of construction. and they can duplicate
your best sheetings.
"A large portion of the wool imported
into America comes from China, where
it has grown TO be a vast industry. The
suggested change in this particular con-
temolated by the proposed new tariff
measure is going to almost ruin our trade

tax of cents is made the duty for these
goods. the merchants of China cannot
afford to ship here 1t has given wooden
merchants of the country a great scare.
Neither do you do well in the matter
of teas. The green teas sent to America
from China are one of the most inferior
qualities. Russia has gobbled all of the
fine black teas and the Indian and Cey-
Ion teas have spoiled the trade for China
tea in Europe.
Speaking of Russia, it may be news
for you TO learn that Russia controls all
of Manchuria and Korea-I mean posi-
lively that eight battalions of her troops
occupy these states. The fleet she now
has in Chinese waters is larger than that
of Great Britain. Korea is wealthy in gold
mines which will astoniSh the world be-
fore long. Mines of coal, iron. silver and
other metals abound in China. so that
professional men who go there within the
next few years will fare as well as those
who went to South Africa

Two long railway lines will be con-
structed right away, one from Hank Cow
to Pekin, distance of 1000 miles, and
the other connecting Newchwanly with
the Russian terminals at Tient Sin and
Port Arthur move that strengthens
Russia's hold on the empire. Ii Hung
Chang has nothing to do with either OF
these lines; in fact he is small potatoes
in China, He met with royal reception
while travelling, but he was met on his
return to China by fourth-class man
DARN and a file of antediluvian soldiery,
who escorted him to the presence of the
emperor. He was met by a request to
pay a fine of LOCO TALES for not divesting
himself of the yellow jacket as he passed
beneath a particular arch. Chang is not
of the nobility and is constantly snubbed
by those who have the royal ear.

Anaconda Standard. and E. d. Mats of
