Foul Play Feared.

Word from Baviacora, on the Sonora
 river, about one hundred miles east of
 Hermosillo. received this week, con-
 veys the intelligence that the Ameri-
 cans in that vicinity are greatly
 alarmed over the disappearance of
 Dr. w. c. Wunschow, who left that
 place on the sixteenth of August and has not since been seen. At the time he left the camp at Baviacora the doctor had with him some $2,OOO in Mexican money, which he said he was going to take to Santa Elena to send to his wife in Berkeley, California. where her address is given at 2205 University avenue. The money was in large valise which he carried in the vehicle in which he travelled. As Santa Elena is only sixteen miles away the doctor expected to return upon the following day. When after sey- eral days he was still absent from Ba- viacora, his friends at the latter place O>>"hbS oIai tDCQ duu S6uI to Santa Elena to see if te had been de- tained there. Word was returned that he had not reached there. Search was at once institu, throughout the surrounding rNgion, but without re- suits. 1t is feared that the missing man has been murdered and robbed.
 His friends at Baviacora communi- cated at once with his wife, convey ing the narrowing intelligence, and letters received show the poor woman to be almost distracted. She was but four or five months a bride, having been married to Doctor Wunschow at Bisbee last spring, and was with her husband at Nogales upon their wed- ding trip. When he went southward she went with him as far as Hermo- sillo and Guaymas; but when he went out into the mountains upon a profes- sional tour, she returned to Califor- nia and h as since made her home at

emigrants to China remain any
more unfamiliar with it's things
than they can help. Their friends
and relatives, or at least many of
them, will be there, and the talk
of "China' will be on all lips.
But beyond these things even, or
any consideration of present ma
terial or social interest, there is
the subject itself, too long neglect
ed, commanding the study of all
who are really DESTROYS of know
ing what the best of mankind was
like before the era of written his
tory began. So far as can be fig
ured, the Chinese, if the most I'M
progressive of modern people, were
the most progressive Of the an
clients, and more than among the
Egyptians even, their monuments
remain to tell US this. The differ
ence has been that to Egypt the
searchers of antiquity have had
access, but to China not; a differ
ence that is rapidly passing, and in
fewer years than most of us dream
will be entirely done away

REMEMBER THE MAINE.

The representative in Congress
from this district has introduced a
bill to authorize the reimbursement
of officers and men of the army and
navy for medical expenses incurred
during leave or furlough. The
representative has sent copy of
the bill, together with a stereotyped
interview to all of his postofice pa
spers throughout the district, who
have been publishing it in double
loaded articles, as the most impor-
tant news of the war.
The bill is undoubtedly a meri-
torious one, but in view Of the rep
resentative's interview justifying
the blowing up of the Maine in Ha-
wanna harbor, Immediately after
that actsswas committed by theSpan
iards, and 269 American sailors
were sent to their graves, this in
PRODUCTION by the Second district
representative has all the faint of
Legislative irony that generally falls
to the lot of congressional measures.
When the Second district repre-
sentative gets the two reliable cor
respondents, who heard his Maine
interview, to recant, gets the Wash
ington Post to deny it's authenticity,
gets the other members of the Min
nesota.. delegation to say that they
did not admit the interview to them,
we will begin to believe that Mr..
McClearys has some American feel
ing in introducing this bill in the
lower house of congress.

GETTING THE NEWS.

The New York Sun secured an
other phenomenal SCOOP" on it's
contemporaries on the fight at
Manila, the Sun and it's two or three
feeders being the only papers to
contain the news on Sunday morn
ing. It is another demonstration of
the Suns ability to secure the
news. According to that paper the
Suns dispatch was fled in Manila
at 9 o'clock Sunday morning. That
was 8 o'clock Saturday night in
New York. It reached The Sun

Office at II o'clock Saturday night,
or in three hours actual travelling
time. It travelled over the land and
under the sea, diving and rising
above the surface of the water like a
fish and a bird combined. For
14,311 miles it hummed on it's
crooked way, and at last flashed the
news of the fight into The Sun
Office. From Luzon to Hong Kong
is 529.11 miles beneath the China
sea. Thence the despatch travelled
over another China sea cable 46O
miles long to Saigon, in Cochin
China, Another cable, $50 miles
long, carried it toSingapore, whence
it was relayed around the Malay
Peninsula to the island of Penang,
on the western coast of Siam, dis
lance of 288 miles long. Across the
Bay of Bengal from Penang to
Madras it was repeated on a cable
l, 498 miles in length.
In India the message reached the
first land line after leaving the
island of Luzon. Across India to
Bombay the message, ran over 800
miles of wire. Then it was put on
cable by which it ran under the
Arabian sea to Alden, on the Gulf of
Alden, distance of 1851 miles.
Under the Red sea to Suez it went
by cable 1,403 miles further.
Again the message went overland
on 200 miles of wire from Suez to
Alexandria. The Mediterranean
has no direct cable from Alexandria
to Gibraltar, so the message was
sent over a 613-mile cable to the
island of Malta, and thence was re-
peated over the Gibraltar cable,
1,126 miles further. From Glib
raltar it was relayed via. a 337-mile
cable to Carcaveltos, near Lisbon,
whence it was taken along by the
856-mile ocean cable to the cable
station at Lands End. England.
Here the Western Union got hold of
it and put it on the cable direct
from Sermons Cove, near Land s
End, to Dover Bay, Nova Scotia,
2, 531 miles. From there it was re-
peated into New York over 888
miles of coast cable.

CHINESE EMPIRE AND AMERICA.

Owing to the present squabble
between the great European powers
over the partition of China, all the
indications are that during the
next quarter century that country
will become the theatre of the world S
greatest activities. That the par
tition will take place, either with or
without war, is a foregone conclu-
sion, and the consequent opening
up to communication with the rest
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1899-02-15

of the world of a country having
four hundred millions of people, who
have hitherto been excluded from
the things of civilization, is the
greatest thing yet among the under
takings of modern progress. China
and the Chinese become atthis time,
therefore, subjects of special inter-
est for the study of thinking people
the world over, and especially in
America. For from US it is, in the
very nature of things, that the en-
ginery of that remoulding of the
Monaghan customs, laws and man
ners, which is the prospect of the
near future, must be most largely
drawn The demand on us, on the
one hand, will be for thousands of
professional men of all descriptions
teachers, doctors, lawyers and
the like; while on the other, the
field for those who desire to engage
in business and commercial pur-
suits will give more than an outlet
for our surplus energies in those
directions for many years to come.
Many of our young men (and
young women, too, for that matter
are studying up with reference to a
successful fortune seeking among
our new possessions in, the West
Indies and the islands of the far
East. and it is well that thew are
doing so; but high above these, and
to the same end, looms the possibil-
tiles Of the great Chinese empire so
soon to be opened to the invasion of
every interest in a professional or
commercial way that one can name.
Some of the brightest and most far
seeing of our citizens, and notably
the men of Wall street, have already
seen this and have been making
their investments accordingly.
Indeed, from the money point of
view alone, American interests have
already been planted in China,
which in a few years will require
the presence there of thousands of
American trained employees to care
for them. But who will be the
chosen ones for these lucrative
positions? Evidently, those who
have learned the most in advance
concerning the country, manners
and traditions of the people with
whom they will deal. Nor even
should those who have no thought
