Suggestion of Building With a
Mammoth Auditorium.

mammoth Auditorium,
To the Editor Of the Globe:
Please allow me to suggest a plan for
a market house:
The city of st. Paul should have mar
ket building Of such proportions as will
do city of enterprise credit
First, let the grounds be central, at
least two blocks in size
Have the market heated in winter, and
cooled (cold storaged) in summer, saving
time, cost, work and preserving the ma
ter1al to producer and consumer.
The market should be for the whole
people and not for any class.
Locate the market right and all conten-
tions will be adjusted.
The building should be built so as to
contain mammoth auditorium in the
central part with other halls adjoining.
so arranged that they could be used in
connection with main hall for conven-
lions, national and political If necessary,
and by the chamber Of commerce. Jobbers'
| union, Commercial club, manufacturers
exhibit, Labor Assembly and other kind
red organizations. This could best be ar
ranged by the city issuing market bonds
or authorizing by charter a company to
build the immense building at so much
| interest upon the capital invested, or
otherwise satisfactory, under the control
Of the board of managers to be appoint
ed or elected by the people, arrangements
to be made for payments to investors mu-
tually; at the completion of the payments
the property to be the proud possession Of
a deserving people
Let St. Paul give the world an ex-
ample for a market house
If the honorable mayor will appoint a
committee or commission to promote such
a proposition it may be possible that the
market question will terminate in the
city and county securing IT'S need: or
the mayor and council could call a public
mass meeting in the auditorium. Let the
people express themselves, or set apart
some ten days for, the people to vote a.
proposition, casting their votes before
commission at the city hall. This will. at
least give our officials an idea of the neo-
pies desires. Scott Macdonald

SUI AT CHEZ FOO

Such Marvellous Strides as to
Cause General Comment - Needs
OF America Are Dflated Upon.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.-The state de-
partment has received a valuable renort
from the United States consul at Che
FOO showing the general strides made by
american trade throughout China. 1t is
IN line with the views expressed by Pres
1dent Schurman since he returned from
the Tar East, and gives much additional
information as to how this American
trade must be directed, if it hopes to con-
tlnue control of the markets of China. as
against Germany, Russia and japan.
summing up from numerous tables he
says:
1t will not be long, at this rate. before
the United States and Japan will supply
the market entirely, unless we are shut
cut when Germany and Russia get their
ports in ORDER
lie SHOWS that American trade in China
Increased throughout the list of articles
except kerosene. Japan's trade also
showed marvellous strides, and japan now
sells considerably more than one-hthird
OF the entire foreign imports and over
$l'OVOVoC' gold more than the United
states. The consul says that should give
tood for thought as Japan is beginning to
be a formidable competitor, not only of
the United States but of all Europe and
of Great Britain.
MT roster brings out the fact that the
RUSSIAN authorities have now practically
taken possession of the territory back
or Port Arthur. The consul also shows
the manner in v hich Russia is developing
the steamship service between Port
Arthur and Europe and Asiatic Russia,
He speaks also of the gradual control
which the Germans are obtaining of the
whole province back Of Che Foo.

PRESS COMMENT.

PARIS, Aug. 1.-The refusal of the
court-martial to comply with tha rao,,aet
of Capt Dreyfus and M. Demange for an
adjournment is variously commented IN
on by the Paris evening papers. The
Droits de PHemme declares the decision
''dastardly'' and protests, in the name
Of the accused, against an act (which di-
minishes his chance of justice"
The Temps says: zone canont suppose
that the judges are unanimously 1Infavor-
able to Dreyfus. The unanimity rather
proves that they are guided by consider
atoms of public ORDER
The Journal des Bats says: ct would
have been extremely regrettabIe had the
trial been interrupted, as termination Of
the present situation is of the highest

Gen. ROget's Bitter Attack Upon
Capt. Dreyfus.

LONDON, Aug. 1.-THE Rennes cor
respondent of the Times, describing the
proceedings before the court-martial yes
terday, says.
"Gen. Roget proved a most eloquent
and influential adversary of Dreyfus.
For two hours, with singular ease and
in effective rhetoric and judicial style.
he held the attention Of the judges. in
teresting them by rare conversational
pow ers, and surprising them by the in
sidious and wicked suggestiveness of his
methods. Unlike his predecessors, Ro-
get had steeed himself to meet the
steady gaze of Dreyfus. His manner in
this regard was startling and dramatic
Evidently he was trying to provoke the
accused, and wanted a scene In court
Dreyfus was frequently on the point of
replying, but Maitre Demange held him
back"
