LAND VALUES.

Some of the recent sales of resi-
Dental and agricultural property
show an extraordinary and rapid
rise of values. 1t is impossible to
ascertain the average rise, which
would furnish the means of form
ing some opinion about its real
character. 1t has certainly an I'M
healthy look, if the course of real
estate in other countries is consid-
cred. The valuations of residen-
tial property in American cities,
with the same population as that
of this place, and where there are
many diversified industries, are, on
the whole less than they are here.
In very many cases, remarkably
less.

tial property in American cities,

of this place, and where there are
many diversified industries, are, on
the whole less than they are here.
In very many cases, remarkably
less.
The prosperity of a place, soon
er or later, expresses itself in the
values of business and residential
property. But it is the current
prosperity of all classes, especially
the wage-earners that fixes these
prices. The millionaire cuts a
small figure in it. 1t is the rents
that give value and the wages de-
termine the rents.
The surprising rise of values is
caused, not so much by the increase
of population, as by general pros
perity.
What is our prosperity as it APP
pears in public and official docl-
ments!
The political economists say,
with partial truth, that the exports
of a nation determine its wealth.
If the exports of the United States
are compared with the number of
the inhabitants, it will appear that
if the value of last years exports
were divided up among the 49,
100000 of men, women and chill
dren. each one would be credited
with $12. If the exports of Ha-
vail for the last year were divided
up in the same way, between the
10000 inhabitants, each one
would be credited with about $3.50,
or about II times as much as each
American gets. Deducting the
debts due to the buying countries,
leaves the balance of trade. Only
estimates of this can be given, in
either case, because there is no pub
lie record of many items that vary
this balance, such as commissions,
interest and dividend account. The
Customs returns are misleading
and insufficient.
The statement of our export
trade indicates, beyond question,
the great prosperity of the Islands,
even when the figures are reduced
by our foreign Indebtedness. This
prosperity finds it way into land
values for business and residential
objects. Mere speculation has, of
course, something, but compare
lively little, to do with it.
But we have here, no diversified
industries, which are intrinsically
stable, excepting that of coffee. We
are gambling on American legis-
lation. Our making or breaking"

gentlemen in Washington, who fire.
auently act on their whims. So
long as we are dependent on them,
our commercial life, and our pros
perity, is a protracted gamble" If
we lose on the turn of the cards,
the number of our inhabitants will
not sustain high real estate values.
Contract all wages and their values
tumble in. We have seen land
values in the city of Philadelphia
with a population of 100000,
fall in some places, as low as they
were hundred years before, when
the place was a village.

TARGET WORK ON THE TEXAS.
Marvellous Action of the BattIeship's
Turret Guns.

Fort Monroe, Va, May 13.-The battle
ship Texas INDUCED in target practice
with her turret guns yesterday that
showed extraordinary results. Five
charges were fired from the forward 12-
inch guns in the morning, and q like
number from the guns in the turret aft
in the afternoon.
The target was placed 1,500 yards from
the ship and efforts were directed to-
ward speed in firing and accuracy of
aim The result was most remarkable.
Nine out of the ten shots fired would
have blown to pieces an ordinary-sized
ship lying where the target was. The
forward turret gun, under Liuet. Bristol,
fired five shots at an average of one min
ute fifty-five seconds between shots
Lieut. Haesler fired the gun in the tur-
ret aft with an average of one minute,
twenty-one seconds between shots Only
sixty-six seconds elapsed between the
firing of the first and second shots. Both
were practically bullseyes.
The object of the practice was to test
Lieut.. Kaeslers new appliances for
handling and loading the big guns and
the results were considered almost mar
velous, when it is remembered that eight
minutes between shots has been the usual
time heretofore.

Roads last night the news of Ensign
Bagley's death caused great sorrow. Bag

VIEWS OF A MISSIONARY.
Story by DIR. Allen of His Obserya-
tions in China.

Baltimore, May 13-This year Is the
fiftieth anniversary of the establishment
of the Chinese mission by the Methodist
Episcopal Church, South, the general con-
ference of which is now meeting in the
new Fourth Regiment Armory, Fayette
Street, near Paca.
This event was celebrated yesterday at
the conference by an address on China.
Japan, and India by Rev. DIR. Young j.
Allen, the famous Chinese missionary.
DR.. Allen, who is member of the con-
ference, has been connected with the
mission in China for the past forty years.
and has achieved considerable reputation
as a Chinese scholar. His literary work
attracted the attention of the Chinese
government, which employed him to
translate works on history and science
into the Chinese. DR.. Allen has also
written history of the recent war be-
tween China and Japan in eight Volumes
under the auspices of the government.
According to DR. Allen, the Chinese
know nothing about God, as understood
by Christians Not knowing a God. he
said, the inhabitants have descended TO
the worship of creatures. He said they
could not understand how an arc light
could burn without oils, and without be-
ing lighted They call these lights moons,
thereby displaying their primitive ideas
and credulity. Women are treated little
better than beasts, and polygamy is incul-
Gated.
The Indian people are very religious
and devout. They worship 800, 100000
gods, but they know nothing about moral
ity. France England. and the United
States have concessions in Shanghai, in
which there are about three thousand
persons not amenable to Chinese laws.
Whenever riots occur in the city many
of the inhabitants take refuge in these
concessions, and the 1900 Christians gov
ern 300 OO0 Chinese. He said there had
been great progress in Japan in the past
two decades, and the country is now
fastly becoming dominated by Christian
| influences. In a certain sense, he said
| that China is a literary country. The
| schools. colleges. and universities are well
! patronized, but these institutions are not
| ur to date. One of the principal reas-
| ons for this is that the country has not
| caDable men a the head of these institu-
| tions, and the government is beginning
| to look to the missionary, who holds a
| pre-eminent position. DR.. Allen said that
| the opportunities of the church are very
! great. but more men are needed in the
/ field. He concluded his address with a
| strong appeal to the conference to send
more men into the work and to Increase
| the appropriations. He laid much stress
on the Importance of establishing a
! printing house at Shanghai as has been
| proposed at the conference.
