that Russia has every right to build
through the valley or to take any action
she may please looking to the develop
ment of Russian trade. 1t is over the
valley of the Yang-tse that battles of
the future may be fought.
Impinging upon the British sphere"
to the south is the French sphere"
Russia has gained its foothold through
diplomacy and promises of aid France
has fought for hers. French diplomacy
in China has not been success. The
French have been compelled to find ex-
cuses for wars and to take with the
strong hand. Years have been spent
by the Gallo government In endeavor-
ing to increase its holdings in AMMAN.
1t has succeeded only in obtaining con-
cessions to build two railways. 1t is
contemplated that one Of these shall go
north to point on the Yang-tse River,
where 1t is to join Russian road run
ming south from Pekin. If the scheme
Is carried out the Yang-tse valley, now
dominated by England, will be pierced
through and through by road, one
end Of which will be owned by Russia
and the other by France. This road
would be the future grand trunk line
of China: 1t would be dominated by
French and Russian officials; It's tar
IFS would be fixed by France and Rus
sia; its trains would be run to suit the
convenience and purposes of those
countries.

The nondescript tongue known as
"pidgin-Engllsh" is almost the only
medium of communication between for
eigners and the Chinese, and nine
tenths of the enormous business done
in China between the English, Germans
and Americans and the Chinese is done
through this grotesque gibberish. Ches-
ter Holcombe, in his Real Chinaman,"
gives two amusing anecdotes to show
how absurd 1t is. A young foreigner
who called upon two young ladies, also
foreigners. was Informed by their Chi
nese servant, '"That two piecey girlo no
can see. Number one piecey top side
makee washee, washee. Number two
piecey go outside, makee walkee,
walkee." He meant to say that the
elder Of the two was taking bath up
stairs, and the younger had gone out.
When King Kalakaua, of the Hawaiian
Islands, visited Shanghai, he occupied
a suite Of rooms up one flight of stairs
ut the Astor House. Two American
gentlemen called to pay their respects
one morning, and meeting the proprie-
tor, inquired If the king was in. Al will
see" replied the landlord, and shouting
to Chinese servant at the head of the
stairs, asked, boy! That piecey king
top side, had got?" "Hab got" laconic-
ally answered the servant. Gentle
men, his majesty is in. Pray walk up"
said the landlord.

powerful friend was still aiding him.
Mr.. Pavloff, Russian representative

privileges, changes in customs and any

Until last year not one of the Euro

ton the British right to control this
valley. Russia now denies it absolute

no guaranteed rights of possession have
been granted to England by China and

"HE fall Of the Chinese empire
and Its actual partition among the
= western peoples have furnished
one Of the most dramatic spectacles to
be found in the history Of the nations.
1t came about through the Chinese
Japanese war. The pretensions of a
vast empire We're exposed within three
months. The war demonstrated that
China was made up not of one people,
but Of many peoples-peoples who
spoke different languages, had differing
customs, entertained differing beliefs,
held differing ambitions. In general
way, it had been known that man
from Canton could with difficulty make
himself understood In Hong Kong, but
the world dreamed of nothing like the
racial separation which existed within
the far-reaching confines of the tlowery
kingdom. All Of these interior and ex-
terior peoples believed in IL vague way
that the emperor was the son of the
sun, but they We're not willing TO fight
for 1t. The generals were venal. cow
ardly or incompetent. The navy was
sham. The army was not above the
ridiculous. The state was rotten
through and through. Japan accom-
plished the exposition, but was held Off.
1t wished to seize Corea and n large
part Of the Chinese mainland. 1t got
only some money and the Formosan ISL
ands, which have been white Gle
plant. Russia, Germany and France
interfered. England was appealed to,
but failed to interfere. England fights
only its own battles.
The vast Chinese kingdom was left
open and palpitating. The emperor's
head rolled uneasily on his shoulders.
Rebels were to the north, south, east
and west Of him. His revenues were
stopped. Anarchy threatened. His
family had been taught by more than
fifty years of experience that it costs
money to appeal to England. He knew
little Of Russia, beyond the fact that 1t
had proved friendly in Tending off ia
pan. He turned to Russia. That coun-
try acquiesced promptly. The price
paid has been greater than Britain
would have eXacted. Russian agents
swarmed into Manchurln. Russian
troops followed them in thousands and
are still there. Russian ships prowled
along the coasts, the waving black lines

Its contents were fierce and threaten

PLANTATION of his conduct in regard to
melting discomfort among certain en-
ployes of the Frenchman's with the in
tent to induce them to enter Roose-
velt's employ, which, the letter said,
had been represented to the writer on
good authority.
"Teddy read the letter. NO answer
said he to the messenger, who rode
away surprised Mt the apparent indif-
ference of this endangered ranchman.
But Roosevelt Immediately mounted
his horse and rode to the De Mores
ranch, arriving there soon after the
Frenchman's messenger had reached
home with his report of his errand's
result. De Mores, raging over the auda-
city of the American, was nevertheless
amazed to hear Roosevelt announced.
Teddy did not dilly-dally. Holding the
letter in his hand, he said:
ga man wouldn't write letter such
rs this unless he was looking for some
thing!
"De Mores stood speechless for mo-
ment, then bowed politely and replied:
"'Ah! Your explanation is all right
and satisfactory. l am sure l have
been misinformed"

dy remounted his horse and went
home."-New York Sun.

We sometimes speak of this as n
skeptical age, and laugh hugely over
the stories of medieval charlatans who
bamboozed the public, but 1t is doubt
full whether the era of Jernegan, of
Hooley and the Keely motor has any
reason to boast of Its sagacity. 1t is
safe to say that If there were any
money In squaring the circle the proc
ess would be the basis of stock COM
pany to-day. 1t is rather curious in
deed to see how the world has moved
from its incredulous position of fifty
years ago. Science is sometimes spoken
of as unsettling belief; 1t is just to say
that 1t has shaken the foundations of
unbelief. Twenty-Five years ago the
idea of flying machine was Invariably
ridiculed; Its eternal impossibility was
regarded as demonstrated. To-day vast
fortunes are being spent in the effort
to make practicable airship. Then
the medieval notion of the transmission
of metals would have been scoffed at
by the most ignorant. Now Professor ,,

ed French and Russian line through
the Yang-tse valley, thus placing a
railway owned by third inimical pow
err in the territory supposed to belong
to England. If the French claims for
an extension of sphere" are allowed
the French will cut the British line of
communication between Central China
and British China. This is made clear
by glance ut the map.
The difference in the policies of the
three great powers briefly stated is:
Great Britain, confident in Its CONNER
cial prowess and the value of the foot
hold 1t has obtained by half century
of occupation, wishes to throw open 10
the world the trade of the 400000,000
subjects of the Emperor. Russia, Ger
many and France have wished to par
tition China commercially among them
selves, reserving certain portions for
their own trading and barring out COM
petitors by means of customs regula-
tions, local taxes, railway tariffs, etc.

her Sphere" and that her trade with
China Is three-fourths of the entire
trade of the empire with the outside
world.
The accompanying map marks the
portions of the empire which have been
grabbed by the contending Western
powers. ard 1t is common prediction
in European circles that the world war
of the future is to come from the clash
Ing Of these spheres" The militaires
of England declare that If their coun-
try fails to preserve her domination of
the great river of the Yang-tse she will
be forced to fight to preserve her intiu-
ence from utter ruin; If she does final

be forced TO fight over u matter of
boundary lines.
