This railroad is being pushed by all
the mighty power of the Russian gov
ernment, and is opening vast forests,
mineral. coal and agricultural lands,
while the country is being systematical-
ly settled by the transplanting of whole
villages Of Russians to favorable locali'
ties along the line.
For 100 years Russia has vainly
sought an open road to the sea by way
of the Dardanelles. She is now achiev-
ing that object by way of the Pacific.
Within the past year she has obtained
right of way from China for a Sec
ond terminous to her railroad at Port
Arthur, port that is never frozen up.
Therein is foreshadowed the absorp-
ton of northern China, for the Russian
bear never let's go its grip.
''Three years ago Japan was q COM
paratively upimportant group of is

her lines of subsidized steamers are
running to the four quarters of the
globe, her commerce is increasing by
geometrical progression, and her 43.-
100000 of people have awakened to the
possibilities of the future. With the
shaking up which China has received
from Japan it's soo,ooo,ooo people must
soon open to western methods and
commerce. The Australian colonies
and the hundreds of Southern Pacific
islands, now all under European con-

South American republics are the grea,

of the world to which Americans must
send their products IL this country is

Fighting Fire with Sand.

FIG. Cantose, of Boston, Mass. has in-
vented fire engine that will cast sand
instead of water in burning buildings,
He claims that more damage is done, in
many cases, by water than by fire,
Only very small quantity of sand is
required to smother a fire, and the
building is not injured by it. The in
vention consists of horseless wagon
on which is platform resting on posts
capable of extension. On the platform
a cannon for shooting sand is placed.
Compressed air supplies the force re-
quired to throw the sand. A gasoline
engine propels the machine and elevatea
the sand from the carriage body to the
cannon. In case of fire the platform is
elevated to the level of the fire. and the
sand discharged. 1t is expected that
the engine will help solve the problem
which has SO long puzzled firemen,
how to handle fires in skyscrapers.

interests.
Especial Correspondence.l


The expansion of the market for
goods of American production and
manufacture is considered by the is
landers one of the natural sequences
Of the annexation of the Hawaiian is
lands. This was set before the Manu-
tacturers' club of St. Louis by Lorrin
A. Thurston, eX-minister from Hawaii,
in the following language:
81 submit 10 you that no one in this
country has more direct interest in an
neXation than the manufacturers. Up
to five years ago the United States de-
veloped and progressed while paying
very little attention to its foreign re-
lations and it's foreign commerce. If
prosperity and development are to con-
tinue, you must find markets beyond
the present boundaries of the union for
both your agricultural and your man
ufactured products. Where are you to
find these markets? In England and
Europe? Perhaps, to a limited extent;
but they produce the same manufac-
lures that you do. They are your nat
ural competitors, not your natural Gus
toners. The one great undeveloped
natural market of the world for the
products'eof the United States is the
islands in and the countries bordering
upon the Pacific ocean.
Nearly so years ago William Fl.
Seward said, on the floor of the United
States senate. that the Pacific ocean,
its islands, its shores and the vast re-
g'ions beyond will be the chief theater
OF events in the worlds great hereafter.
This prophecy is being rapidly fulfilled;
but ten years ago the Pacific coast OF
Siberia was an ice-bound wilderness,
and Vladivostock an unknown village.
To-day Vladivostock is a city of 10000
people, with wharves, dry docks and
warehouses, and with fortifcations
equal to any port in the world. The Pa
cific terminus of the trans-Siberian rail-
road to st. Petersburg, it is the grow

ing immunity to the Pacific coast and
it's commerce.
ALREADY six of the seven trans-Pa-
cific steamship lines make Honolulu
a way-station. AS soon as the isthmian
canal is completed, thereby opening up
the countries of the Pacific to the trade
of the Mississippi valley and the Gulf
states, all of that vast and growing
tide of commerce will flow past Ha-
waii. Can the United States afford
to take any chances as to any other
country obtaining control of Hawaii? :?
The strategical key of the Pacific, the
commercial crossroads of the Pacific,
can now be had for the taking. Is it
worth having?
"None of US expect to die to-mor-
row, or that-our houses will burn next
week; and yet we insure ourselves and
our houses. No one expects war be-

tween the United States and any Pa
cific power; but is il, not the part of
wisdom and craftsmanship to forestall
the future as well as to take account of
the immediate present, and by now Sc
curing the control of Hawaii to there
by expand the shipping, the farming,
the commerce and the manufactures of
the United States, in and upon the Pa
cific, and also to insure it from the
possibility of hostile attack?"
Mr.. Sanford B. Dole, president of the
Hawaiian republic, favors annexation
because, in his opinion, the people
would never again submit to a mon
archy. In reply to the question: why
do they not desire to continue as an
independent republic" put to him by a
New York World correspondent, the
president said:
'As the islands are so far away from
other countries and as the Asiatic pop
ulation is fast increasing in numbers
it is serious question, II they are left
alone, whether the republic could sur
vive with the willing consent of the
foreigners. Besides. il the United
States has constantly to protect the is
lands under the present government,
why should not the United States take
them altogether? This is great coun-
try for commerce. It is the natural land
for American ownership. To all intents
and purposes it Is an American colony
anyway, as far us business, capital and
industry are concerned, and it should
be part of the body polite of the
United States"
