THE FLowERY KINGDOM.
Lecture by Commander Webster Be-
fore Geographic Society.

The weekly meeting of the National Geo
graphic Society was held last evening in
the First Congregational Church, corner of
10th and G streets northwest. An audi
ence which filled all the seats on the main
floor and most of those in the galleries
greeted with applause the lecturer, Conn
mander Harrie Webster, United States
navy. when he appeared on the platform to
begin his address.
The subject was China, the FiOwery
kingdom-the Country and Its People," and
was treated in a manner which held the
close attention of those in attendance from
the beginning to the close of the lecture.
The address was properly illustrated with
lantern slides. the photographs of which
attached to the United States ship York
town, which, for a considerable period,
cruised in Chinese waters
There is much misunderstanding in this
country concerning the Chinese, the speak
er said. and this was demonstrated by the
pictures shown on the screen. One of the
most interesting of these was that of the
pupils in boys school. Both scholars and
teachers gave evidence of much intelligence.
A letter from one of the boys to Com
mander Webster, which was read by the
lecturer, created much amusement. Mr..
Webster exhibited a picture of rapid transit
in China, such was used by him. This
was sort of cab borne on the shoulders OF
three men. The speaker said he only
learned two words in the Chinese lam
guage, one of which translated into Eng
lish meant "gor' and the other stop
A picture Of market house in Shanghai
showed that the building there was very
much like structures used for a similar
purpose in American cities. This market,
the speaker said, was open for business
every day in the year. Numerous other
slides were shown, each of which served to
prove, Mr.. Webster claimed, that the
outside world knows scarcely anything
about the real character of China and its
people

make UP the magnificent total. The
Railroad Gazette has just published
the annual output OF locomotives and
cars. and il declares that the year just
closed Is the best since 1890. which
was the record breaking year up 10
that time. Last year. however, tops
them all.
The locomotive constructing shops.
outside OF the railroad shops. built
1,Si5 locomotives, against ] PSI the year
before. This Is an Increase Of GO, or
almost 80 per cent. The increase alone
cones whiting Il of the total output OF
1874. The total output OF cars was
lO5i5S, or which s9.S09 We're freight, G99
passenger and 1850 street cars. The
best previous total was in 1890, when
the output YVES 10000 cars.
The significant part OF these increases
In locomotives and cars is the fact that
Il large proportion is represented by ex-
ports. Our rolling stock is going TO
England. Russia, China and Australia.
and each order seems to bring Two new
ores on top Of It, Wherever the Amer
icGn locomotive goes it Is approved and
substituted for manufactures Of other
countries. This will cause 2 greater
growth in the future In this depart
ment OF industry than 1t has ever be-
fore. because The export trade in this
line is a comparatively new departure.

Exhaustion oCTradc.

The National Association Of Manufac-
turers. which has just closed its sess-
ions at Cincinnati. had some very I'm
portant matters before it FOR discus
sion. and not the least of the subjects
considered was the expansion OF Amer
lean trade. a summary of the opinions
Of the association is contained in the
report OF the president. The efforts Of
the manufacturers OF the United States,
individually and By united action. to
push their products into many places
where hitherto they have been I'M
known. have placed them in position
in the worlds markets from which they
cannot be dislodged. Those efforts con-
tributed much to the expansion last
year of our export trade by SEQ, 800 0s1.
OF which more than SIC 900 We're in
creased manufactures, over that Of the
preceding year. Further contribution
to this expansion, according to Presi-
dent Search, is in the results of the war
as 10 Cuba and Porto Rico, where, as
az Ss.S 'A|h!A+S i.Oli al
purely commercial standpoint, our
business interests have been enor-
mously the gamers, whatever may be
the future disposition OF the people and
the islands.
Turning TO the Philippines he finds IN
the islands possibilities of which the
present conditions afford no estimate,
although it seems apparent that there
is opportunity for very large increase
of our present commerce. Faint-heart-
ed Americans would do well to ponder
the following remarks by President
Search:
Without attempting to express IN 0rin-
ION upon the wisdom or cXped!cncy OF the
policy OF territorial expansion, feel NOV
cd 10 remark in passing that this nation Is
not accustomed to fail in anything that Il
undertakes. Since we first declared our
| selves n free and independent people moth
ing that we have undertaken has ever
proved TO be beyond our resourccs,and his
lCry affords an excellent basis for the be-
lief that we shall be abundantly able 10
accomplish anything that We may be
moved 10 undertake.

Changes inthc Senate.

The next senate will have comfort
able working majority OF Republicans,
the result Of the elections last fall.
With the termination OF the present
Congress the terms OF thirty senators
expire and many new faces will be seen
in the upper chamber after the fourth
OF March. Nine OF the outgoing Re-
publicans have thus far been reelected.
There are two states remaining, Penn

there can be Predictions. In four
states still 10 elect" says the Philadel-
phia Press, land having Republican

out and will be succeeded by Re-
publican. The Democrats have thus
far reelected four OF their outgoing
senators. They are: Bate, of Tennes-
see: cockrell, OF Missouri: Daniel, OF
Virginia, and Maloney. OF Mississippi.
Pasco, OF Florida, will doubtless be add
ed 10 this number. In the two other
states still 10 elect and having Demo-
cratic legislatures a Democrat senator
will succeed q silver senator.
In the elections which have taken
place the Republicans have gained six
senator's. namely in Indiana. New Jer-
sey. New York. North Dakota. Mary
land and West Virginia. In the cleo
tons still to take place the Republic
cans should gain three more senators
from the Democrats, namely. in Califor-
MIA. Delaware and Wisconsin. They
will also gain senator from the Popu
lists in Nebraska. The two gains the
Democrats will make in the next senate
are at the expense OF the silver party,
namely. in Montana and Utah. The new
men who will appear in the senate on
the Republican side and who have been
elected already are McComas. OF Mary
land: NcCumber, of North Dakota:
Scott. OF West Virginia, Depew. of
New York: Kean, OF New Jersey. and
Beverage, OF Indiana. Four more new
Republican senate will come from
