is believed at Hongkong that efforts are

can build its line thither from Hankow.
Both the British and Hongkong govern

has been spent and the money which the
Bslgians were to furnish is net forthcom-
ing. The large staff of Belgian engineers
found itself without funds in the interior
of China, and is now being employed by
Sheng. Under the original arrangement
this contract will revert to an American

folio will soon change hands and opinions
are divided between Count Inouye and Ba-
ron Ito Miyoji B Viscount Aoki's probable
successor. Hcshi Toru is said to be un-
willing to enter the cabinet as the present
time and the constitutional party is, there
fore, supposed to be advocating Baron
Ito's appointment. Ever since certain
members of the Liberal party preferred
malicious charges against ount Inouye in
the lower house the relations between the
party and that statesman have been
strained. and II the count were now to as
sumo charge Of the foreign office the lib
erals could scarcely continue to cooperate
with the ministry.
They also tell of a new political party
that is about to make its appearance In
Japan. 1t is believed by many that this
party will have prominent religious plank
and an anti-Christian one at that The
fostering and promoting Of Japan's old
creeds. Shinto and Buddhism, were very
much talked Of at first. The native news
papers sided against the ambitious new
party men on this matter and the religious
plank has been dropped until the new par
ty gets started. In a manifesto issued
early in April the religious plank Is not
mentioned.
Until the party holds its initial general
meeting on July l 1t will not be in po-
sition to make any clear announcement Of

A statue of NJ. Pasteur.
(From The Sketch. J

Pasteur is not to share the common
fate of prophets and to go unhonored in
his own country. On April q at Lille. a
statue Of the great bacteriologist was inau-
gurated with appropriate ceremonial. The
work has been executed by M. Cordonnier
the distinguished sculptor. and the funds
for its erection have been raised by sub
scription. The site chosen is in the Place
Philippe-le-Bon. Pasteur was dean Of the
Faculty Of Sciences at Lille. and In that
town began his memorable researches
which led to such important results. On
the same day the new Pasteur Institute
at Lille was also inaugurated. The foun-
dation Of this institution is due to the
liberality of DIR. Cafmette. the learned di-
rector Of the establishment, who has al
ready rendered very important services to

The AeeI RenOrl.

It is to little purpose to wade through
the long and dreary report of the Beer
Court of Enquiry made public this morn
ing. In effect it declares that the aliega-
rions of General Miles and of the several
hundred credible witnesses who supporter
him in the position he assumed, are prac-
tically without foundation. but inasmuch
as someone had to be blamed for the scan-
dals of army administration the Court
scolds all who had knowledge OF them-for
not reporting Immediately to Secretary
Alger any abuses they may have discov-
cred.
General Miles, we are told, was not
warranted in the declaration that rcfriG-
Grated beef was "embalmed, and he Is
censured for using that expression. Be-
cause the packing houses have not pro-
duced plants showing that it is their GUS
tom to chemicalize their beef We must
necessarily believe that no such process
has ever been adopted. Just as though the
packers would find delight in advertising
with brass bands any chemicals which they
may secretly employ. The fact is motor
ious that they constantly use salicylic and
buracic acids and other Ingredients found
in the army beef, and some OF them have
admitted this 10 be the case; but not
word has the Court TO say on this import
ant point. Il calmly reaches the conclu-
sion that whereas comparatively few peo-
pie knew that the beef was "embalmed''
the vast majority had no knowledge of
such a state OF affairs, and therefore the
poisoners Of the troops in the field must
be exonerated from all blame.
The report Will occasion no surprise
considering the composition of the body
from which it emanates. and the manner
in which it conducted its proceedings. The
whole country was convinced that the
charges of General Miles were more than
sustained by the evidence, the almost
universal belief being that the canned roast
beef supplied to the troops was nothing
more than so much pulp from which the
nutriment had been extracted This i'm
preston will not be altered by anything
the report contains. On the contrary the
more closely it is scanned, the greater
will be the disposition TO regard it as
cne of the most unsatisfactory. if not con-
temptible, documents TO which an official
body has lent the authority OF its name.

The ease with which the Incorporation
of companies is effected in New Jersey and
the paucity of the questions asked has led
the agents of several concerns with enor-
their charters by the payment of the
smallest fee receivable at the secretary of
states Office, namely, $25.
Everyone Of the attempts, however
proved failure. John Brooks. the cor
poration clerk, who Is himself a lawyer
checked the game. The modus operandi
of it is illustrated by an incident which
occurred few days ago when an agent
presented a charter for company having
capital stock of 100000. Concealed amidst
dense growth OF legal yerbiage. however,
was a cleverIy worded clause empowering
the board Of directors to increase the capital
stock at their discretion to $35, 100000.
This clause was SO phrased that had the
charter been accepted the company could
have made the huge increase OF capital
stock without the payment OF any addi-
tional fee. Corporation Clerk Brooks re-
fused both the document and the $25 fee
and the agent a day later appeared with
another charter empowering the holders
of the common stock to make the increase,
but this charter was also rejected. The
agent made a strong argument to prove
that his charter was properly drawn and
Clerk Brooks submitted il to Attorney
General Grey. who acknowledged that it
was skillfully drawn and might be all
right. but advised Brooks not TO accept 1t

KILLED BY A VICIOUS HORSE.
Child Who Offered the Animal Flow
ers Fatally Kicked.

New York. May S.-James Walsh, two

and Bulls Ferry Road, West New York.

lots near his home yesterday merning.
when he was kicked on the head and in
stantly killed by a horse which was graz
ing nearby.
The boy held some of the flowers up to
the horse. inviting it to eat. when it sud-
denly turned around. and, throwing out its
hind legs. caught the boy on the head with
its heels. The force of the kick sent the
led several feet in the air, and when picked
up he was dead.
The horse had been grazing on the lots
for some days, and its owner cannot be
found. Subsequently 1t was shot by resi-
dents of the neighborhood.

Chicago's Patriotic Outburst.

Thousands Of people hTayed pouring
rain in Chicago yesterday to express their
endorsement of the policy of the Admins
tration in the Philippines and in the whole
conduct of the Spanish American war. The
demonstration was planned as an answer
to an anti-expansion meeting held in the
same city on the preceding Sunday, when
resolutions were passed denouncing the
Government for conducting a cruel and
unjust war of aggression" Not only in
point OF numbers. but in the character of
the attendance and in the enthusiasm that
was shown. the answer was complete.
There has never been any doubt of the
sentiment of the vast majority Of the
American people regarding the policy of
expansion. They have regarded it as a
settled fact. They have realized that
while the consequences Of the war could
not be foreseen, they could not be shirked
or evaded whatever they might be. If
they were apathetic in going to the
record to this effect it was only be-
cause they did not deem it neces-
sary to do so. Comparatively speaking,
the anti-expansionists, the opponents of
the policy of the Government, and the re-
vilers OF it at every successive step. have
been so small in numbers as to be beneath
contempt. But what they have lacked in
multiplicity they have made up in noise,
in venom. and in the yilest kind of treason.
They have prided themselves on being
educators of the masses" while preach
ing a gospel of despair They have sought
in every manner OF way to undermine the
Administration and paralyze the patriot
ism of the nation.
If they had not gone to such extreme
limits, if men like Atkinson with his pois-
onous pamphlets had not appeared on the
scene, there would have been little dispo-
sition to answer them. But when they be-
gan to hold meetings for the purpose of
denouncing the Government as they did
in Chicago. and when they were found to
be using the mails for the circulation of Sc
ditious matter In direct violation OF law,
it was time for some sort OF response.
The sedition and treason Of the antrim
perialists'' have aroused the ire OF the
masses. and henceforth they propose to
make themselves heard and felt.
Chicago has started the ball rolling, a
fact which ought to settle the whole ex-
pansion business. No doubt every big city
in the country will follow its example, and
hsnceforth expansion and patriotism viii
be popularity considered synonymous. 1t
will be . dilgrace to admit that one IL not

Down in the darkness OF bunkers, shoveling and
