Delaware, barring the mistake referred
to. Some of the senators elected succeed
themselves, others have been prominently
before the people for nan years. But It.
is known that in the new senate there will
be at least twenty-five men without any
previous national legislative service
| whatever.
Clark of Montana, Foster of Washing

TALLY business or professional men with
out extended experience in deliberate
! bodies. If the deadlocks be broken this
| number may be increased. 1t is said that
| one-fourth of tho new senate are men OF
! great wealth. one-half are men o Ibusi-
| ness experience, and the rest are pro-
f~essionals. Shoup of Idaho, and Clark OF
Montana, are classed among the "busi-

The Talk OF the Day.

About 1O,OO0, 900 feet of brentwood will
be sent to England and Scotland this
year for spools. The wood is cut in small
logs in winter, sawed at mills near the
forest in spring, and piled up for season
ing until warm weather, about the MID
die of June. Then the bars are bundled
and sent to Bangor by rail, where they
are loaded generally into steamships for
the European market. This has been
one of the most important industries In
northern and eastern Maine, and it's ex-
pected revival is welcomed by all classes,
from woods laborers to shipping mer-
chants. In the fruitboN trade also a re-
vival is expected this year. There are
now bound to Maine ports, with cargoes
of salt from Sicily, five Italian barks, and

That money seeks a warm nest is an
aphorism as true today as it was when
first the trend of capital was observed.
At present it appears that the warm
nest enter is located at he copper
mines in the great northwest. Capital is
not afraid Of a copper mine, nor does it
turn up it's royal nose to the red metal
In or out of the ground. In fact it delights
to come in close contact with the metal.
As an instance of its confidence in the
paying qualities of copper the recent sale
of the Gagnon properties to an eastern
syndicate for 50, 500, 900 may be noted. The
| sum paid may not be regarded as an ex-
travagant one. but hat it has found a

LORD BERESFORD'S PLAN.

Lord Beresford has a great big plan
which he wishes to exploit before an ad-
miring world, or rather before those
parts Of the world which will take cred
ulous stock in his great "open-door'
scheme. Lord Beresford recently landed
in America direct from China, to which
country he went from England in the in
terest of Bri fish trade. What time he
was in this country he largely devoted to
newspaper interviewers and writers, to
whom he confided his plan for the set
tlemen1t Of nflee China question. The plan
is a wonderfully simple one. warranted
to wash, and all wool and a yard wide
on paper. 1t is this:
England. the United States, Germany
and japan, the countries most interested
in the Chinese trade. are to form an ALI
ance, offensive and defensive, guarantee
ing the independence of China, and at the
same time keeping permanently open the
door to the celestial kingdom. For these
favors bestowed, China must abolish the
old restrictions against the opening OF
her mines. That nation must also per-
nit the allied powers to help her re-
organize her army and put her in a po-
sition to defend herself against enemies
from the outside, and to maintain order
at home. From Lord Beresford's point
of view the scheme may appear feasible
and eminently practical, but from the
Chinese standpoint it is devoid Of both
those elements.
In the first place China is peopled by
a very crafty, if not a very courageous
people. They are initiative and cunning
to a remarkable degree and will venture
sse them some tangible benefits. The
Chinese themselves will offer the greatest
opposition TO LORD BefeSLord pan
Then there is France and Russia, and,
possibly, several other European powers,
which may object to such a disposition
Of China. Russia in particular has long
entertained designs upon the integrity
of Chinese territory, and will not tamely
submit to be left out in the cold when a
plum or two may be grabbed from the
Chinese pie. And then, again, Germany
and Japan, one of the proposed uar
tette, are not on the best of terms, be.
cause the latter blamcs the former 70,
aiding Russia and France to rob her o
the richest part of the fruits of her vic
tory over China.
1t is possible that some sort of an agree

of action toward China, but no allianc
in which such an ill-assorted couple a
Japan and Germany must lance togethe
