THE FUTURE IN CHINA.

The sailing of a German fleet for Chinese waters has been followed by series of stories, largely speculative, concerning the future of the Chinese empire. It is getting into the heads of the people everywhere that Ger many, France and Russia have some sort of an understanding in the matter of partition of Chinese territo y, with Great Britain left out of the mat ter entirely and with Japan receiving no more recognition than if it was never heard of and did not occupy a spot on the map of the world.
 The United States, by virtue of its long established principles and gen. orally accepted policies, is only indi- rectly concerned in the events that are now being foretold. This country is in no sense a land-grabber and it has nothing to do with the policies of the European powers so long as we are left alone and so long as no e1croaahments are attempted on this continent
 According to the indefinite pro- gTammes outlined it is to, be none of that any European power would have the impudence to tread upon our na- tional toes or attempt to interfere with our rights and privileges. We are world unto ourselves, in perfect har- mony with the rest of the earth We have made every effort to attend to our own affairs, while expecting her countries to keep out of our way. We have commercial relations with the rest of the world that are more profit able to them than they are to us. We have always been liberal in that re- spect, and today the United States is the one market that the manufactur- CTS of every nation hopr to enter with profit to themselves.
 The partition of Africa. was no cen cern of ours, and the partition of China will be no concern of ours, so long as our jurisdiction is not en- croached upon. At the same time we may be indirectly interested as a re- suit of complications that are pos sible. The covert threats now made of a plan of action by Germany, Russa and France against China are inter esting. Great Britain finds itself without an ally, and it is not the dispo- sition of the English to let the other European countries have their own way without let or hindrance. It is to be doubted that sincere combira- ton of European countries can be made, especially combination in which Germany and France are to op- crate together. France and Russia have made a compact and it is pos s1ble that the recent movement of Russia at Port Arthur is to neutralize or to match the German movement a, Kiao-Chou bay.
 The next few months will probably be filled with interest conce- ming movements in Asiatic waters. In the meantime the United States should lay low and put it's affairs .n the best pcs sible shape There may be some seri- ous problems to discuss; hence minor matters should be relegated to debat- ing societies in the backwoods.

Horse and Man Both Surprised.

A trolley wire in Brooklyn got caught
in trolley pole one evening, recently,
and the wire was torn down. One end
of it struck a hanson cab which was
in motion, wound round it, paralyzed
the horse, and scared the driver into
a conniption fit. The horse started TO
run, tearing the wire down with it, and
was knocked down by the shock only
to rise again and again. receiving a
shock which knocked him off his feet
every time. The arrival of repair
wagon saved any serious damage ex-
cept that the horse was badly bruised
from falling on his head and nose, dni
the cabman quite severely shocked.
The accident occurred in front of the
Clarendon hotel and as it occurred
about II O'clock at night, 1T was wit
messed by a party Of electrical guests
who. We're aroused ont of bed by the
unusual, noise. among them being a
well known wire manufacturer, who
was greatly shocked to find that any
bare or insulated electric wire would
cause so much trouble.-Electrical

GREAT OPPORTUNITIES
IN STOCKS AND WHEAT.

This bull movement is based on facts,
and needs no manipulation to help II or
sustain 1t. Stocks go up because there Is
a steady and growing demand for them.
Buying the shares of a Corporation is
the most direct. simplest and best way to
become interested in business and to be
a sharer and a factor in the advancement
and prosperity of the country. Prices of
shares of all well managed Corporations
will go higher than ever known. Rail
roads can be operated cheaper. their fixed
charges are less and their physical con-
dition is better than ever before In their
history. Many stocks, like Union Pacific,
are very low and show good margin for
substantial advance. Four per cent. IN
terest on First Mortgage Bonds Is the
rule, even on reorganiZed properties. This
inures to the benefit of the stakeholder.
Profitable operations can be made with
both Stocks and Wheat. They Will be
higher next week, next month and next
year.
WHEAT.
Wheat is the cheapest, safest and most
promising staple article in this country
for investor or SPECTATOR, and offers
great opportunity for handsome profits.
A small risk with large possibilities.
Fifteen to twenty-five cents IA bushel
should be made on this years crop.
