The Oriental liner Mogui Is on the way
down the river and Is 4ue here any time
this month. having left Portland Sunday
morning. Her draft Is q feet inches and
she is probably getting stuck on and on.
as otherwise she would arrive here sun
day evening. Another reason for the de-
lay is that large steamer like the Mo-
gul. heavily laden. can only round the
sharn curves In day time until she gets
well down the river. and, therefore. has
10 lay over and cast anchor during the
night. When the steamship Athenian.
which left this Dort a few days ago for
Vladivostock arrived from Portland she
made the run in two days and half
being compelled TO anchor over night on
the way. and then had much trouble In
navigating down the river. The Mogul.
although Of lesser length and lighter
draf, than the Athenian, can round the
blur and keep In the channel only dur
ing daylight. which Is partly the cause OF
her nonarrival here. The Mogul Is -four
laden. but will finish her cargo By taking
on 1000 sacks at this port.

PEACE rs ONLY A DREAM
Last Fifty Years Clearly Show That
Man Is Fighting Animal

Man is fighting animal. After 1000
years, according to biblical chronology
two highly civilized nations have been fly
ing at one another's threats. The most
enlightened nation in the world the Unit
ed States of America, has been engaged
in a war, var.ously stated to be for 1.-The
paciticat!on of Cuba" 1.-The freedom OF
Cuba" 1.-The annexation OF Cuba" "a
war for humanity" "a war to drive Spain
out of the western hemisphere and "a
war to revenge the Maine -.s..., 3D..
Universal peace is a dream of the student
and the scholar. That amiab BILE person. AL
bert, the prince consort-who was imported
from Germany into England to continue
the royal Hanover.an, line--believed in.
peace. AT the opening of the Crystal palace
exhibition, nearly half century ago, he
told the world that this exhibition herald
ed the dawn of peace; that thereafter the
dogs of war would never be let loose. This
was in 1851. Yet in 1854 England waged
war against Russia; in 1856 she weged war
against China in 1856 she waged war
against Persia; in 1857 she made blood run
like water in India, crushing the mutiny
there: In 1886 France Italy and Austria
became engaged in war; in 1861 the United
States entered into the bloodiest civil war
ever known to the world in 1866 Prussia
vanqu.sEed Austria; in 1867 England began
her war against Abyssinia; in 1870 France
and Germany engaged in their bloody
struggle; in 1874 England waged war
against the Ashantees; in 1877 Russia and
Turkey went to war; in 1879 England began
her Zulu war; in 1882 England bombarded

An impending consolidation of Boston
banks is among the important financial!
news of the week. The plan involves the
virtual consolidation of some dozen ma
tional banking institutions in that city
and the creation in their place OF one large
bank with a capital of from $S,OoO,OOO to
s. 900 900. 1t is stated. according to Brad
streets, that controlling interest in the
various banks which are to be included
is owned by savings banks which have
assented to the plan, and that price
scmething over the current market quota
lions is to be offered to holders for their
stocks. A syndicate. including powerful
financial interests, is named as being iden-
fed with the proposition. the governing
idea, 1t seems, being that the present low
range of interest rates has reduced bank
ing profits to such an extent th1e small
institutions are at decided disadvantage
compared with those of larger capital and
which can conduct a correspondingiy large
business at a smaller ratio of expense,
principle which at present Is being applied
in many departments of the business
world.
