kERNAN'S LYCEUM THEATER.-
Clark's Royal Burlesquers are holding high
carnival at Kernan's this week, and big
audiences at both performances yesterday
gave them royal welcome. This is The
first appearance of this organization in
Washington this season, and it made a.
very favorable impression. The bill is put
together with an evident purpose of pleas
ing all tastes, and there is little of every
kind of vaudeville given. The Sisters Ber-
nard open the entertainment with an aero
batic terpsichorean specially, and are fol-
lowed by the Cosmopolitan Trio that ia
refined and good. Laura Comstock has the
proper cadence for rag-time songs and
rendered several in good style. Howard
and Emerson have everything their own
way for fifteen minutes, and give a good
performance. They are masters of the
moving picture business and gave a strik-
ing representation of the great Hotel
Windsor fire. The Brothers Mignan ex-
celled In new and unique musical act
which was in many respects the best ever
seen in Washington. They won hearty ap-
plause and made the hit of the show. Ten

sented new features of their ever-popuIar

The GEORGIAN Bay Canal

1t is announced that the company or
ganized to construct the ottawa and
Georgian Bay Canal has deposited 500,
900 in the Canadian Bank OF Commerce
at ottawa, in accordance with provisions
of the statute Incorporating the company
and that the Dominion Parliament viii
be called to aid the project. Whether the
assistance expected will be in the form of
an out and out subsidy, or Of a guaranty
Of the company's bo.lds by the Dominion
government, Is not as yet explained to
the public. But that an earnest effort is
on foot to connect Lake Huron, and the
St Lawrence by a canal from Georgian
Bay to Ottawa. and the Ottawa river is
| evident. The project is a large one, re-
quring a vast outlay, and how soon it
vii! materalize remains to be seen. The
immense advantages of such short cut
from the great lakes to the St. Lawrence
in the vicinity of Montreal are apparent;
but it will not be built in hurry. and
when built, it will be only another argu-
ment for the deep water route by way of
Lake Champlain. The Ottawa river, it
is to be noted, empties into the ST. Law
renee above Montreal, at a point nearly
opposite that at which st. Lawrence and
Lake Champlain ship canal will leave the
| river. Freight brought from the north
west by the Georgian Bay canal will thus
he brought virtually to the mouth of the
St Lawrence and Lake Champlain canal,
and can about as readily take the route
to tide water by way of Lake Chsmplan,
as the freight which comes by way OF
Lake Ontario and tho st. Lawrence. We
hope to see the canal from Lake ST. Louis
to Lake Champaign built before the Geor-
gian Bay canal but if the latter Is con-
structed first, 1t ought simply to hasten
the construction of the deep water way
from the St. Lawrence to the Hudson
through Lake Champlain.

Our Interests in China.

The strife between the various European
powers over the partition of China has i'm
pressed. eXMinister John Barrett, the we'll
known Nermonter who formerly repre-
sented our government in Siam, with the
desrability of our sharing in the spoils
of commercial conquest of the fiowery
kingdom. In an address before the New
York Chamber of Commerce he took the
ground that We must decide in the i'm
mediate future with reference to the
course which we are to pursue in dealing
with this problem, giving as a reason for
this statement the fact that unless We
are prompt our commercial rivals will Sc
cure all OF the advantages to be gained in
/ that direction.
! The course recommended for our gov
eminent by Mr. Barrett is TO. first, push
our commerce into China in every legiti-
mate way. and second, to stand for the
integrity of that empires territory, es-
pecially 10 the North where our chief ia
terests now lie. In the event of the failure
of our government to accomplish this end
he would have our representatives ex-
haust every resougce for the purpose of
INDUCING lnt nations tnBdBcu III
ing Chna's territory to grant us the same
rights as TO trade which we now enjoy
under treaty with the Chinese govern
ment.
II our diplomats find themselves unable
to accomplish any of the objects men
toned he would suggest that our govern
ment take immediate steps to acquire the
possession of an important port in Chine
which would place us on equal footing
with our European competitors and enabl,
us to push the sale of our manufactured
products into tho interior of the Chimes,
empire, and which would serve US as botf
a naval and commercial base.
! Mr.. Barrett can at once lay aside hi
proposition regarding the maintenance o
China's integrity, for that is plainly
, thing of the past. With Russia building
; a line of railway to the very foot OF thu
I Chinese throne in spite of the protests o
the Chinese government and with othe
European powers taking steps to offse
this advantage by acquiring additiona

been cut into generous spheres of inhu-
ence for the various European nations,
and to all appearances the wiping out Of
the Chinese empire is but a question Of
a short time.
Nor is it all likely that our administro-
ton will take steps to secure control Of
a Chinese port as naval and COM
mercial base. It is true that the argument
that the possession of the Philippines
would promote our commerce can be used
with equal force in favor of the acquire
ment of seaport on the Chinese coast as
well as a considerable sphere of inuence
within Chinese territory, but so far as the
Chinese situation is concerned that argu-
mcnt Is not likely to prevail. China's con-
cession of A port to the United states
would inevitably involve us directly In tho
partition contest now i'm progress among
the European powers and entangle us in
the quarres Of the old word--a possibility
which would not have been deemed posi-
bic fifteen months ago-and our govern
ment probably will fight shy of any such
contingency.
1t Is possible for this country to materi-
ally increase its commercial rights and pri-
vileges in China through treaty agree
ments, both with tho Chinese government
and other powers; and while it may be in
consistent for us to ask other nations for
trade privileges which we refuse to rcci-
procate in many cases, we shall probably
not be disposed to allow n small consdera-
ton of that character to interfere in tho
extension of our commerce wherever pos
sihlc, and particularly in China. If we
succeed in securing an open door for our
products in China without acquiring ter
ritory, however, it will be something of
a reflection upon the argument that our
possession of all the Philippines is essen
tial to the extension of our trade in that
quarter of the globe.

auspices of the State board of health dur
Ing the week beginning Monday, July TO-
is deserving of commentator; and it is
safe TO say that Director J. H. Linsley
has conceived Of no more practical plan
in relation to his work than this. The
protection of the public health has right
Ily come to be regarded as one of the most
important interests confded to the care Of
public servants 1t is impossible for
health officers to discharge their duties
faithfully and efficiently unless they are
fully informed in relation to the most
modern means employed 20 guard against
eridemics and to improve sanitary condi-
tons. During the progress of this school
of instruction addresses will be delivered
by some of the best authorities la the
country on the different subjects TO be
presented for consideration, and the gen.
erol discussions can not fail to confer
marked benefit upon all in attendance.
Few people who have not investigated
the subject have any conception Of the
magnitude of the work which is being
carried on by the State laboratory. Since
january the laboratory has made about
$50 analyses of water, while the total
number of examinations have aggregated
upward Of 1900 The people are calling
upon the laboratory for a great variety Of
service, and to the credit of Vermont 1t
should be stated that this institution occu-
pies a leading position among the State
laboratories of the United States.
