THE OPEN DOOR POLICY.
Secretary Wilson ON Its Advantages
10 the United STATES.

10 the United STATES.
Washington, Jan. .b.--Seeretafy Wilson
b. an interview emphasized the great COM
nlercial significance Of the open door"
concert Of the powers respecting China.
Responding 70 an inquiry, he said that
but for this notion the United States
would have been shut out from trade adj
yantages In any provinces Of which other
nations might see fit 70 take possession.
lie said
Anything produced in the United
States will now permanently find its way
into all parts of the Celestial empire.
Dur trade relations there ID the future
are secured Not OF the least impor-
tance il the fact that the permanency OF
the cotton market in China is secured
The trade In cotton goods has been very
heavy in Manchuria and other northern
provinces. Our interests generally, our
dairy, poultry and other products from
the farms OF the United States, now have
assurance Of permanent markets in all
the provinces throughout the Chinese em-
pire where such things are in demand,
and this demand ID growing and will CON
tinuc to grow.
The work Of Secretary Hay in this re-
gard supplements and compliments the
work Of our army and navy. a year ago
no nation would have listened to propo-
sition Of this kind, but the whole world
listens TO the United States now. The
white mans burden came with the is
lands. Secretary Hays work brings the
reward for lifting the burden. Some idea
Of the yastness Of the interests involved
may be- gained from the fact that, while
en- years ago our exports from the Pa
cific coast to all countries aggregated
s26,000,000 and five yenrs ago $4,000
100, the steady Increase in Pacific coast
exports has raised the aggregate to $13,-
1000 year ago.

The pe1agoa bay Award.

London, Jan. 5.-The latest informa-
ton possessed by counsel for the Della
goa Bay railroad claimants is that the
award will be made at the end Of Janu-
AIRY. One Of. the chief parties to the
claim said: There are rumors current
that the award will be a compromise
agreeable to no cue. But ] attach no
value to these reports. The story Of the
claimants getting S10O,000,o00 is ridicu..
'lous. The total Of the American and
British claims does not exceed $15,oOo,'
600. The arbitrators are not likely to
award more than is claimed. The vari'
GUS reports are based purely on con1ec'
ture. The parties to the suit will be the
first to hear the result, and no word on
the subject has yet reached them"

Chicago, Jan. 5.--A dispatch to The
Tribune from Cleveland says: "The
Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen has
given notice of withdrawal from the Fed
Grafton OF American Railway Employees.
The withdrawal Of the trainmen. it is
said, will disband the federation, as other
organizations have grievances which they
have,been unable TO settle with roads be-
cause or the failure Of the federation
unanimously to sanction strikes, as Is
required by the rules of the order. 1t is
asserted that the firemen and telegra-
piers have grievances in the east, which
are serious, and that there may be gem
eral disturbance as a result of the with
drawals, which are effective Jan. 16. The
executive officers held meeting in Chi,
cago Jan. 3, at which the Withdrawals

smaller than in any other year of the

'inown in any year, but smaller than II

The failures for 100000 or more in
he past six years have ranged between
S31, ,522, ,1S6 in 1899 and $98, ,503,93 in
1896, the decrease being more than two
