PARCELING OUT CHINA.

The proposed dismemberment of China
by Germany, Russia and France is as yet
a very nebuious scheme. but there is
enough of probability about it to justify the
diplomatic ferment it has raised in Europe
and the surprise it has created in England.
A scheme of such tremendous import cam
not long remain a secret, as the first def
mite steps towards it's accomplishment will
disclose the plan. Although England has
not appeared in the recent demonstrations
it is safe to say she is very much on the
alert and will keep weI posted as to what
is going on. The idea that Germany, Rus
STA and France can partition China with
out consulting or reckoning with England
is absurd. Her interests in China are much
greater than those OF all other powers COM
bined. She has a strong foothold there al
ready, and ships and money to maintain
It, If the other powers think they can leave
her out in the proposed partition or occupa-
ton of China they are greatly mistaken.
When it comes to a proceeding of that kind
she is not easily left out. When the carv-
ing begins she will be at the table,
Great Britain has already secured a
larger part of the worlds surface which
will support people than either Of it's COM
petitors can possibly grasp. OF this same
country China, Great Britain has held
disputed sway over several of the best
ports and the territory adjacent. BY threat
of war years ago Great Britain forced an
opium trade deadly to the Acknowledged per-
son, but immensely profitable to the thrifty
British trader Great Britain was a past
master in land-grabbing before these
threatening competitors were thinking of
the business of subduing heather lands.
1t may go against John Bulls grain to have
Russia & Co. threaten to shut him out of a
great land DEAL but ]. Z. is not so much of
a fighter as he once was, yet what he
has lost in capacity to kill he has made
up in adroitness, alertness and threaten
ing ships
To-day the British merchant is more
anxious about the aggressions of business
competitors in his own and the general
markets of the world than about any
British government out of the occupation of
subduing and capturing undeveloped coun-
tries. We are threatening competitor in
the iron BUSINESS while Germany and
France are gradually capturing other lines
of trade which England monopolized few
years ago. These are the things which are
troubling the Briton. But, even with this
competition, it must be remembered that
John Bull was not born yesterday.

A dispatch from ottawa says the Cana
dian government has official information
that the Boring sea arbitrators have
awarded Canada $464,OOO on account of the
seizure of Canadian sealing vessels by the
United States. The news will be a source
of some surprise and perhaps Of chagrin to
Americans, for the British government once
agreed to take $426 900 in full payment of all
the claims, and the State Department
agreed to pay it, but Congress refused to
ratify the agreement. But this has nothing
to do with the present situation. If the
arbtrators have awarded Canada the sum
named the United States is bound by every
consideration of honor and good faith to
pay it, promptly, cheerfully and without
quibbling. AS long as the arbitrator had
not fixed the amount of damages the re-
peated statement of English newspapers
that the United States government was re-
fusing to pay an honest claim was unde-
served, but if the award has been made the
government should lose no time in paying 1t.

There is no effort for the improve
ment OF the people that has taken
more prominent form than that show
ing itself in the establishment anG
maintenance OF public libraries The
multiplicity of books. their low cost
and the natural love there is of reading
have led to the popularizing of pub
lie Libraries until few villages of any
respectable size are without collections
OF books to which the people have free
access. Men of wealth have devoted
their money to the establishment OF
large libraries and two OF the very best
of these In this country are in Chica-
go. the gifts of public-spirited citizens
who left their wealth for that purpose.
States generally have provided for
the support of public libraries, al
though the average state legislator has
about as much use for books as duck
has for an umbrella. OF all the states
Minnesota has exhibited the best judg
ment in its laws relating to libraries.
There is an annual appropriation made
OF $4,000 to encourage the establish
ment of public school collections OF
books. The law provides that $50 shall
be given the first year and $40 annually
thereafter to any school that raises an
equal or a greater sum for a library.
the stimulus Of which donation has
r,Sulted in a large excess of individual
giving over the amount donated by the
state. This plan has been in operation
for the last ten years and since It be-
gan over 1900 public school libraries
have been established, having an aver
age OF sixty-five volumes each, making
a total OF more than l17.o00 volumes.
This number OF books, large as 1t is.
is not SO significant OF public interest
in the plan as the fact that the growth
of each library is continuous. while the
number OF them is steadily increasing
The plan pursued in the state is not
to purchase books at random or ac-
cordlng to the whims of any one indiv-
idual but to purchase years. quota of
books devoted to one special subject.
so that the result is the formation of a
library especially adapted to reference
purposes. which supplements the edu-
cational work of the school proper.
While popular works of romance and
travels are not omitted the body OF
the DOORS may ue SohSiueieu as sup
Elementary to the text books and the
work of the teachers.
1t is not probable that any equiya-
lent sum appropriated for any other
purpose brings the state of Minnesota
so large a return as the $4,000 donated
to the purchase of books for the pub
lie school libraries and the example
of that state might profitably be fol-
lowed by any other, especially at the
west, where large cities are infre-
uuent and technical libraries are rare.

Prof. William NJ. Watts OF 81
Pond, Md. has novelty in the fora'
of a cold stove The stove is for use
in the heated months of summer for
reducing the temperature, Just as
stoves heated by fire are used TO raise
the temperature in winter. BY ths
use of salt, small quantity of ice ami
a patented chemical the most intense
degree OF cold is secured. So great is
the cold that it is as dangerous L

of and painful injuries are the resuf

states that during the hottest weather
the temperature of room may be run
down and made pleasant by the use
of this novel device. The new process
was dicovered by college mate OF the
teacher of the Still Pond school. The
cost OF operating the stove is very

The former says that while on a hunting expedition in the Northwest terri tory of Canada some years ago, on which occasion he was accompanied by Mrs. Brodie and many members of the British military service, this former officer of the American army demonstrated how effectively we can handle firearms and how accu- rate is the aim of the average American at either chipmunks or caribou, long range not figuring. Colonel Brodies skill in "piling his meat at the first shot and over 300 yards distant, was admirably com mented upon in English military channels, and after months of red tape proceeding was permitted to bring the head over but few weeks ago. 1. was the largest Caribou ever killed and weighed over HOO pounds.

 miles an hour and in crossing the frog at Jordan switch left the track. The engineer had the presence of mind to shut off steam and apply the brakes. but the engine continued at a terrible pace tearing up the track and blowing the ground for seven hundred feet before going in to the ditch, The tender went Tn an opposite direction and the bag gage car was thrown across the track. The two day coaches were crushed together and the Pullmans were also derailed but escaped with but little damage. Engineer Carol was hurled fifty feet and seriously injured, while Fireman Baird was pitched seventy five feet into a field and internally injured. Baggage Master McGowan was badly bruised by being pinned between the trucks. All the passengers escaped with slight injuries.

Competition With Limited Trains.

The limited train service to the coast to be instituted by the Texas and Pacific in connection with the Iron Mountain and Southern Pacific in competition with the Santa Fe, which was announced yesterday, is likely to be extended so that the competition will cover the whole Santa Fe territory. The Texas & Pacific had in view only a competi- ton between the Mississippi river points and the coast, and as early as six months ago began banasting its road, strengthening its bridges and substituting 70-pound rails for the lighter one. which had been in use. rhe Chicago X Alton, it was learned yesterday, will probably be drawn into the conspiracy against the Atehisop, so that the eastern termi- nus of the limited service may be Chicago instead of St. Louis. The Chicago x Alton people have not yet decided to enter into the ar engagement, but conclusion will be reached in time to put on through service by November 1, if it is put on at all east of St. Louis.-Repub- lican.
