New York. Oct. 1.-EX-Senator Calvin
S. Brice sat at his desk in his Broadway
office one day this week and told me
al about his $4,000, 900 railway concession
in China. That is, Mr.. Brice told me
everything ] asked about 1t. He sand
wiched his answers to my questions be-
tween interviews with business men and
agents who came TO him with news of
the market in Wall Street. Most of the
time he swung q cane in his right hand,
sometimes emphasizing his remarks by
pointing with it, sometimes making it run
down his nimble fingers as the drum ma
1or manipulates his baton. Whatever he
said was said with the peculiar incisive-
ness which is characteristic OF Mr.. Brice's
speech.
As I talked with the ex-senator Z man
sent in his card. The messenger was told
to show him in. The senator paused at
the end Of the sentence, and looking over
my head TO the door. he said: Il can't do
H. But, Mr.. Brice, there's something
else I'd like to say to YOU" said the voice
from The doorway. Mr.. Brice smiled. IF
It will relieve your mind any to say it
ha said, "all right 1t won't change my
determination. I've looked into the mat
ter and made up my mind. Come in this
afternoon" Then he dropped his eyes TO
my level again and went on with what he
had been saying about China. There was
no break in the continuity of thought.
1t was as though there had been no dis
traction.
AnEio-Russian Complications.
Before he sat down TO the discussion OF
the concession which he holds, Mr. Brice
showed me Stanford's map of China. and
pointed out on it the different geographi-
cal points which have attracted so much
of the worlds attention lately
Briefly he explained the complication in
which England and Russia have been
involved. indicated on the map Port Ar

vance AS TO the amount of the thirty
or forty millions which would be spent
in this country he could not say; but he
was prepared to assert that not less than
thirty million dollars of trade with this
country would be developed during the
construction of the road
"As the railroad work advances" he
said, "and the people or the country see
what our people eat and wear, they are
going to want it. They use great deal
of our oil in China. They are going 10
use more, and so the Standard Oil Com
pany is with us in this enterprise. They
are going to want sugar. and so the
American Sugar Refining Company Is
with US. They are going to want coffee,
and so the Arbuckle Coffee Company is

London, Oct. 1.-Sir Claude Macdonald,

a lady, was insulted and finally attacked
by a Chinese mob. which pelted Mordmore
and his companion with stones and COW

Later some American missionaries were
similarly treated and Chinese secretary

Less than a year ago. capitalists in
this country would not have considered
an investment in China. One concession
was granted before to an American, but
it was revoked because he had not the

people TO the possibilities of trade in the
Pacific When he went to Manila and
smashed the Spanish fleet, the people of
the United States said: We never
thought of getting here; but now were
here, were going to stay And when
they looked at the map and saw where
the Philippines were, it opened their eyes
10 the possibilities of trade IN China.
