The downfall of Ii Hung Chang,
which seems to have been very com
plete, says the Chronicle, may prove 10
be an advantage in the development OF
China to American capital. A staunch
friend of the British, the old viCerOy
gave them the right Of way in business
enterprises and dealings throughout
the open districts of the empire. His
successful rival, SheDg, q rich agd pro-
gresSiVe mandarin. di4likeS the Brit sh
ana is anxious to secure American aid
in opening mines and building the rail
roads from Picking to Haukow and
from the latter point. which is in
Central China, to Shanghai and Canton.
According TO the Shanghai correspond
ent of the Philadelphia Public Ledger,
Sheng is well aware that no Chinese
| capitalist will subscribe money to an
enterprise that is to be controlled by
| Chinese, owing to the certainty that
their dividends would be absorbed by
the managers. For this reason he
wants foreign control for the syndicates
he is about to organize. Sheng objects
| TO Englishmen, because they demand
both the golden egg and the goose
| that laid it. Americans, on the con-
| trary, are satisfied with Il moderate
profit and have no political ambitions
! which would menace the autonomy of
the Chinese empire. 1t is said that a.
| the present time a mum Der OF Amer
| lean business men, headed by eX-Sen-
| ator Wa-hburn of Minnesota, are in
China examining some of Sheng's pro-
positions.
Owing to this unexpected chance to
build up an Asiatic trade it would
seem to be highly important that in
selecting minister and cOnsuls to
China, President Mckinley should be
mainly guided by business principles.
The British representatives in the far
east are acute commercial men of long
experience, and they will make as
strenuous efforts to get all Chinese con-
tracts as they did to obtain the con-
tracts which Japan entered into for the
building of war ships. Even Sheng ;
antipathies may he overcome in time
if the United States is officially indif-
ferent to his custom or lets itself be
outwitted in the competitive game.
The choice of mere politicians, there
fore, for the diplomatic and consular
posts in China won d be most unfor-
tunste. In business IN alters, which.
rather than politics, is our chief con-
Germ in the orient, they would be at
once outclassed. What is wanted are
men who can make the most of Sheng 5
friendship and adapt themselves. COM
mercally, to al the varying conditions
of Asiatic trade.

DUBLIN is soon to be Ia ken by the
Irish, and the approaching event is
creating considerable alarm in EGG
land. 1t appears that the Dublinites
are going to celebrate the centenary
of the Irish revolution which began in
1898, and which cost the lives of 100. 600
Irishmen and 10000 Englishmen before
it was suppressed in the year following
According to the story, the police have
learned from their agents in the United
States that Irish Americans who SYM
pathize with the movement intend to
take part in the celebration, and it is
feared that the two steamer-lOads who
are to leave this country for that pur-
pose will iuaugurate trouble.

this country at an early day, Japan

Some Interesting Facts Regarding

ing the demand for one OF the most popular
bicycles made. The Western Wheel Works,
Chicago, makers of the Crescent wheel, have
the largest. and without doubt the most
complete, bicycle factory in the world, and
can turn out, when running to fullest ca
pacity, 72J finished Cresrcnts in twelve

They used during 1896 $50 miles of tub
ing. OF enough to nearly reach from Chi
cage to st. Paul if placed in a straight line
The spOkcs were made in their own fac.
tory, and required $50 miles of wire, or
enough to reach from Chicago to Lincoln,
Neb; 50 miles of brass rod was required
for spoke nipples. If the spokcs, spoke nip
pies and tubing were placed in a straight
line they would reach from Chicago to the
Rocky Mountains at Denver. The cranks,
il placed end to end, would cover a distance
of - miles. They used 50 miles of steel for
crank axles, wheel aXles and pedal axles,
and 10 miles Of steel for seat posts. If the
inns that were used in the Manufacture of
Crescents in 96 were placed one upon the
other they would make a pile 1880 feet
high, 5000 feet higher than Pike Peak
and about the height of Mount Elias in
