The Chinese merchants OF Hong
kong made a remarkable representa-
ton TO Lord BeresfOTd. They stated
that those of their number who were
British subjects did not dare TO exhibit
any interest in public matters because
they were liable, if they did so, TO un-
lust treatment, if they visited Chinese
soil. and were not protected by the
British Government. They stated that
the Chinese subjects of other powers
were, as a rule, we'll protected,
but British Chinese subjects were
| not. The British officials in Hong
| kong insist that a Chinaman who
| becomes a British subject must
| cut off his queue. The reason for
| it is that it prevents complications,
in the opinion of the British officials.

one, but Great Britain demands some
compensation for the gift of citizen

The many and rich Chinese mer-
chants of Hongkong also declare that
the regeneration of their native land
is now impossible without the inter
vention of Great Britain, not for the
purpose of dividing up the area OF
China among different nations, but II
order to gather up and place it in th'
hands of the central government.
AS an evidence of the dangers which
attend trade, the merchants describe
the frequent acts of piracy which oC

ent that the central authority in China
is too weak TO enforce laws. The only
alternative left TO Great Britain is TO
seize the country and enforce the laws
and treaties. This she does not care
TO do, for many reasons. Her policy
is that of the Open Door, and the 9TH

that she should carry the burden Of
opening the door, and keeping il open,

advantage of it without sharing the

In writing to us to protest against
the readiness with which criminals are
pronounced by public opinion to be
mentally deficient, "B. A" tells the
following extraordinary story:
Personally" he says, Il am ac-
quainted with a case in which two sis
ters-the united annual income of
whose husbands is not less than $4,000
have for years been trying to per-
suade brother incapacitated by ill
health from work to commit suicide,
in order that they may be absolved
from a yearly contribution Of ESQ to-
ward his maintenance. At first abso-
lutely refused to believe that such
heartless selfishness actually existed,
until was shown letters from one of
the ladies in question, which left no
further doubt in my mind.
yet" he adds, eff these sisters were
to put an end to their brothers exist
ence, there would be hundreds to con-
tend that the motive of pecuniary ben
eft was totally inadequate to account
for such a crime, which must conse-
quently be attributed to mental aber-
ration."-London Chronicle.

WRITTEN ON BIRCH BARK.

The legend is that once when Orpheus played
Upon his magic lutte, the forest trees
Were so enamored of the melodies
They gathered round him charmed and unafraid.
But the trim birch, in sober suit arrayed,
Deeming a finer dress would better please,
Withdrew and while she tarried, on the breeze
The lute's last echo vanished from the glade
Expectant still, she patiently awaits
In silver silence through the long dim years
Those wonder waves of harmony again.
But, ah, the gods, with their large loves and
hates,
Their joys their cares, their tumults and their
tears,
Are gone forever from the paths of men,

THE ALASKAN BOUNDARY.

I nth the formal acceptance by Great Britain
\Aj OF the proposition OF Secretary Hay for the
temporary adjustment OF the Alaskan boun-
dary line, the possibility of any vexatous conflicts
among the miners and other settlers along the dis
puted border has been removed The provisional
line stands until the discussion the boundary is
finally seted by diplomacy after thorough study Of
the whole subject 1t is in fact probable the tenn
porary line will be confirmed and made permanent,
and that the old dispute will no longer be a Of
friction between ourselves and Canada.
While there was any likelihood that war
would grow out of the controversy there was risk OF
serious complications SO long the two govern
ments could not agree upon the line at which the
sovereignty OF the stopped and the other began.
The discovery of gold in the Porcupne district
within the disputed zone added to the apprehensions
of the statesmen OF both nations and undoubtedly
did much to hasten an agreement upon the modus
vivendi which has now gone into effect.
There is another cause OF qualification the set
tlement of the boundary dispute. 1t is well known
that the boundary has been the stumbling block in
the way OF the Joint High Commission appointed to
arrange settlement of all matters in dispute between
the United States and Canada Now that it is out Of
the way the commission resume its sessions and
proceed to the consideration Of the issues that
main 1t will moreover have bright prospect
of solving all the problems before and thus render
ing great service to both nations.
The American people have every reason to be salts
fed with the line agreed upon. In the final revision
it is said in the reports from Washington that the
temporary boundary the west by the Dalton trail
is placed twenty-five and quarter miles above Pyra-
mid Harbor which is regarded under the treaty as
tidewater mark so the Canadians not allowed to
reach any point on the Lynn Canal. Moreover there
is no permission given for free port or even for the
free transfer across American territory of Canadian
goods, except of miners belongings. These matters
may figure later when it comes to permanent
boundary line but they not touched upon in this
modus The line on the Chilkat River is twenty-five
and quarter statute miles from the head of naviga
ton on Chilkat Inlet of Lynn Canal, and on the
Klehni River twelve miles farther inland and the
whole valley of the Porcupine is included within the
American lines AS to White and Chkoot passes
the line is fixed at the summit, or watershed being
the points which for some time past have been OBJ
served by the customs authorities of the two cou-
tries
The line it will be retains for Alaska all that
our Government has claimed. 1t is not a compro-
mise boundary, and Canada does not get even tenn
porary possession of port on Lynn Canal. Secre-
tary Hay has once more proven his fitness for the high
office he holds and given reason for sangune ex-
pectation that he will yet be able to bring all our dis
putes with Canada to a satisfactory conclusion

PACIFIC COAST INTERESTS.

~ S the movement started by the Traffic Associa-
I \ ton to bring about the appointment OF a rep
resentative OF the Pacific Coast to the Inter
state Commerce Commission is designed for the
benefit of all the interests of the coast it follows there
is no point Of the issue over which there be any
reasonable antagonisms 1t is movement in which
all the forces of the States OF this section OF the
Union can unite and work in harmony.
So great is the solidarity Of the Pacific Coast in
erests in the contest with Chicago and St Louis in
the fixing of freight rates that not the railroad
which so frequently opposes itself to the welfare OF
California can find any ground for antagonzing the
movement. Rates fixed to protect the commerce and
the industries OF the coast would not be unjust
improbable to the railroads. 1t is easy to adjust
them in a manner fair to the coast to fix them &C
cordng to the schemes of the big cities of the Missis
sippi Valley Between the contending claims the
railroads can at least be impartial and it is prob
able that if a comprehensive view be taken of the
question the railway magnates may see it will be OF
advantage to them to build up the business OF the
State and the coast generally rather than weaken
in the interests of other sections
AS the maintenance and extension of the trade OF
the coast do not entail any loss upon the railroads
that carry the goods that handled in the trade,
neither would the appointment of Pacific Coast rep
resentative on the Interstate Commerce Commission
imply any antagonism to the welfare Of the trans
portation companies 1t would OF course, be objec-
tionable to have a rank demagogue on the commits
sion using his official power harass the roads, just
as it would be Objectionable to have in the Office
rank railroad tool using his official power to support
exortionate rates or unfair determinations 1t is not
at alikely however that either deagogueo ora cor
pOraton attorney will be recommended for the place
or would receive the appointment ii recommended.
The movement has been started in behalf of par
ticuaf Individual and it is certain the promoters Of
it will not give support to any who is unworthy
OF it either by defect OF personal character by
son of his affiliations.
We have then an issue on which for once all the in
luential forces OF the coast can be united. 1t is
matter which concerns the welfare OF every city west
OF the mountains and every class OF people, Wash
ington Oregon and California stand side by side in
this emergency. Merchants and farmers have
common cause. 1t is moreover a movement ami
mated by good motives and seeking only justice 1t
is right that this section OF the Union should have
representative on the Interstate Commerce Commits
son it is right that the commercial interests Of our
cities should be duly considered in every question OF
rates that affects them

CHANCES FOR INVESTMENT.

= OMMENTlNG upon the changes which have
been wrought in the industrial conditions o
- the Eastern States by the development and ex-
tension OF the trust system of managing indus
tries, the New York Post says: 1T is an extraordi-
nary fact that while everybody says that the coun-
try is prosperous there are good many places in
which manufacturing has fourished where men are
being thrown of work and the local outlook for
the future is dscouragng." After citing several
cases OF the kind, it adds:
In some OF the smaller places which have expert
enced similar adversely the action of trust is respon-
sible In other cases the result is due TO the same
primary cause if there no trust in the industry
afected-the fact that the aggregation of capital in
large places and its superior efficiency there have rem
dered it impossible for the manufacturer in the small
town longer to carry on his business proitably"
How far that statement may be true of the Eastern
States have no means of knowing but the Post
is in when asserts that similar conditions pre-
vail all over the Union 1t says
"a business from city east of the Mssissippi
who going to San Francisco was asked by three
four friends to look around and see if there was an
opening for them to invest some spare capital in a
promising industry-$I5ooo to $4,000 apiece. They
could not discover a good opening at home and
thought that probably conditions must be better on
the Pacific Coast. The investigator brought back a
most discouraging report. In California as east OF
the Rockies, the tendency strong toward the doing
of business by great aggregations of capital and a
which once seemed quite large enough to estab-
lish industry seems now too small and weak
for consideration
1t would be interesting to know in what part oil
California the Investigations of that expert were made
and what kind of investments he was looking for
1t is safe say there is not county m California
where investments of $4,000 to 900 in some kind
OF manufacturing enterprise could not be proftably
made if the man who undertakes the factory under
stands his business There are all kinds of openings
in the State for business with moderate amount
of capital, and the skilled men of the East who can
not compete with the big trusts of that section can
find ample opportunities here for doing an independ-
ent business and making profit out of it
That the industries of California have suffered
something of handicap by reason of the unjust dis
examinations of transportation rates is true but all
prospects now encourage the belief that much of that
evil will be unknown in the future In the first
place there Is to be transcontnental freight com
petition which was not enjoyed in the past and ir
the second place the people of the coast are now
more earnest in standing up for their rights than
they have been Taking all things into consideration
therefore safely invite the Eastern manufacture
ers to come West There is plenty of room and GOOD
profits for an almost unlimited amount of $4,000 in
vestments in California
