CHINA IS CERTAINLY SLOW.
When Two. Cart Drivers Stop and

A very interesting letter in the New

roads Of North China are in a wretch
eddy neglected condition. The trav-
eler's cart often disappears from
view. the roadway being worn far be-
low the level Of the adjoining fields. If
two carts chance TO meet in such de-
preston. hours may be consumed in

And it ID not inconceivable that

In brief it was a plea for reform in the
currency. The speaker advocated a
national bank similar to the banks of
England and France. He said it was
the restoration of credits, compelled
by the present law, which brought on
panics; that the extension of credit at
u time of great financial excitement
would tend to avert panics.

TROOPS IN GOOD HEALTH.
The Condition Z the America" Army un'
der Gen. Otis AstOnishingiy Excellent,
All Things Considered.

Washington. June l7.-The state
ments to the effect that men around
Manila are dying like flies and that
the war department ha been COM
PEELED 10 suppress the regulation health
reports, which IL was formerly Gus
tomary to make public. turn ont to be
false, but serve the good purpose of
bringing out the fact that the health
conditions in the American army UNI
der Gen. Otis are not only astonish-
ingly excellent, but have probably
never been equalled in any army in
tropical countries. Compared with that
of last summer in Cuba, the compare.
tive immunity from death or serious i'll
ness of the American troops fighting
outside of Manila seems little short of
miraculous. From the landing of Gen
Anderson's first military expedition
near Cavite June 30, last year,
up to tLe last weekly report from
Gen. Otis, dated June s, there
have been only 364 deaths from dis
ease, although his total force has been
10000 men. In the same period 50 pen
have died from wounds. In view of
the notorious inSalubrity of Manila
and its environs these figures are al
most incredible. They challenge con-
trast with the best English experience
in Egypt or in India. and they surpVs
even the excellent conditions that exist
in Cuba, where there is no fighting and
the men are not exposed to the ele-
ments, but have comfortable garrisons.
