TRADE OF TIEN-TSIN.

At TFen-Tsin, which IS centre OF dis
turbance the imports Of American goods have
been rapidly increasing. All these goods have
TO be transhipped through Hong Kong and
Shanghai T1en-Tsin is the point Of accumula-
ton and distribution Of all the merchandise in
tended for consumption in the northern provinces
Of China. It contains population Of million.
and the province Of Chilli. in which
Picking. only eighty miles distant. IS situated.
contains a population OF about eighteen million,
although its area is the same that OF the
State Of Georgia. Tien-Tsin is the terminus or
two Government railways-Gne to Peklng, when
has been partially destroyed since the beginning
OF the existing troubles, and the other running
ncrtheasterly 10 Shani-Kwan, also on the Gulf
Of Pe-Chee-Lee.
An elaborate railway is projected from Ten-
Tsin southwark through the provinces Of Shan
Tung and Kiang-Su TO Shanghai. a distance OF
about seven hundred miles. Shan-Tuns has a
nouulation OF thirty-fve million and the pOpu-
iatiop OF Kiang-Su IS twenty-one million. The
three provinces mentioned nave about the same
population as the United states; although their
combined area is only 16soo3 square miles,
about the same that OF NeW-England, Penn
svlvania and Georgia.
If the existing disturbances in China shall be
settled within reasonable time and with suit
chic and satisfactory guarantees for the future
preservation Of public order and protection Of
the lives and property Of foreigners the rail
way development OF the country will undOubt-
edIy be rapid from that time forward and
larger market created for many kinds Of Amer
loan manufactures. American locomotives and
other railway supplies and materials found their
way into China last year Tor use on the Gov
eminent railroads which radate from Picking
and comprise a length Of about $50 miles.
MANY RAILWAY PROJECTS.
Among the railway lines projected. several
Of which are already in course of construction
is one from Canton TO Han-Kow. on the Yang

surveyed by a corps of American engineers and

REINFORCEMENTS BY THE GRANT.
THE TRANSPORTS DESTINATION MAY BE
CHANGED FROM MANILA TO TAKU.

CHANGED FROM MANILA TO TAKU.
Washington. June 2O-The Government is in
a position 10 forward reinforcements TO China
from San Francisco without the loss OF much
time as arrangements already have been COM
pIeted for the dispatch Of two squadrons Of the
9th Cavalry numbering about nine hundred
men, and a battalion OF marines numbering
900 men to Manila by the transport Grant,
which is scheduled to sail from Sar Francisco
about July l. The original intention was to send
this force to Manila for the relief Of volunteer
troops to be brought home for discharge on
June 30 next
In case II IS desired. IT VIII be simple mat
ter TO change the destination Of the Grant from
Manila to Taku, and by doing place
thousand we'll drilled troops at the disposal
Of the officer IN command Of the American
forces in China. The Grant Is a fast ship and
make the run between San Francisco and
Taku In about thirty days.
Such an assignment would serve double pur-
pose. It would augment the strength OF Amer
lean forces in China, and at the same time serve
to render unnecessary n further depletion of
the garrisons IN the Philippines, course which
it is said would be somewhat embarrassing TO
General Macarthur in the execution Of his mill
tary plans for the preservation of order in the
islands
The impression prevails in the Paynaster-
Generals office War Department, that the 9th
Infantry, which is to proceed from Manila TO
China. will incur substantial money loss in 50
doing. BY the act Of May % last Congress pro-
vided that United States troops duty In the
Philippines Porto Rico and Cuba should ba al
lowed 10 per cent additional pay for the officers
and 20 per cent additional pay for the prvates.
Up to that time the Pay Department had been
paying the men the same bonus under the act OF
April 20, 1895. which permitted pay TO SOL
diers serving outside of the United States The
pay officers regarded this latter act as taking
the place completely Of the former; So as China
is not one OF the places specified where addi-
tional pay may be given. the 9th Infantry will
lose a substantial sum of money by being called
into extra hazardous service. AS it is evident
however. that this not the intent OF Con-
gTess. the Controller Of the Treasury to-day was
called upon by the War Department FOR a
formal construction of the law in this case in
the hope that he may find some means of nre-
venting this injustice from being worked

sOLICTTUDE FELT BY THOSE INTERESTED
IN TRADE IN THE ORIENT-RAIL-
ROAD PROJECTS.


Washington, June 2O.-The keen soIicitude felt
by the commercial and manufacturing interests
Of the United States IN the news, or lack Of
news, from China is indicated by numerous in
Quiries received by prominent officials OF the
Government IN Washington These inquiries, It
is understood, are only less urgent than those
made by persons and societies in regard 70 on
Gals OF the Government and the missionaries
who stationed in the FIowery Kingdom
and whose lives may be in danger
Some OF the most earnest demands for infor-
nation come from some OF the Southern States
where within the last few years a considerable
trade in cotton goods with the Orient has been
developed. Any blow struck at this trade
such would result from a state Of war or
even Of prolonged and general internal disturb
ances IN China. would be very seriously felt.
Similar effects would be felt also by the manu-
facturers and exporters of -four mineral oils
and other commodities, including railway ma
terials and supplies and many other articles
for which there has been a large and steadily
increasing demand in the Orient, as well as by
Americans who are interested In railway min
ing and other projects.
GROWTH OF EXPORTS TO CHINA
The export trade Of the United States with
China has been making rapid strides in the last
few years. and It's volume has already reached
large proportions. Ten years ago 1t amounted TO
less than 100000. and last year 1t had IN
creased to about S145OOO 600, and had more than
doubled in the previous four years. In 1899 the
direct exports Of cotton manufactures from this
country TO China amounted TO 50, SOS ,253, which
nearly At per cent Of the total exports OF
such goods from the United States to all coun-
tries in that year. and eight times the total
ports OF cotton goods from this country TO China
IN 1890 This trade has increased by leaps and
bounds since the cotton factories Of the United
States, especially those in the Southern States,
entered the field OF competition with the Man
chester mills for the Chinese trade in the
cheaper and coarser grades Of cotton piece
goods.
In addition to the exports from the United
States direct TO China II estimated that from
40 TO go per cent Of those to Hong Kong found
their way into China, increasing the total from
S14 800 600 to 81, 900 600 to S19,50000O. or the
81 637 600 worth Of goods exported to Hong
Kong last year about four-sevenths consisted
Of breadstuffs. The exports Of breadstuffs to
China direct last year amounted TO only $114,-
331 while those to Hong Kong amounted to
$4,000 900. three ffths OF which would be

The common or domestic goat was
originally native of the highlands of
Asia. Naturalists generally regard it
as having descended from an animal
found in the Caucasus mountains and
the hill country of Persia called in the
Persian language the pesang. Its legs
are longer than those of the common
goat, and it's horns are very much lar
ger. The common goat has existed as
a domestic animal in oriental countries
from the very earliest times. From
there it spread all over the world, man
ifesting a remarkable adaptability to
climate and circumstances. In this di-
versity of surroundings great diversity
of breeds have appeared, such as the
mere goat, the Guinea goat of Africa
and many others. No quadruped, eX,
cept the dog, has shown such suscepti-
bility of variation. These differences
show most markedly in the quality and
quantity of the hair and in the relative
abundance of the two coats, the long
silky outer covering and the softer
woolly hair beneath it.
Among the Greeks and Romans the
goat was sacrificed to Bacchus because
of its tendency to injure grapevines by
eating the young tendrils and leaves.
All the species Of goats are natives of
the old world. The Rocky mountain
goat. so called, of North America real
ly belongs to the antelope family.

An Unlocked For Answer.

The Boston Transcript tells a story
of a man who has a class of boys in
natural history. One of the subjects
which he took up was butterflies and
moths, and he told the children a good
deal about the chrysalides and cocoons.
After he had got the boys we'll instruct
ed he showed one of the smallest of
them. a very nice, attentive little boy,
one of the cocoons and asked:
what butterfly is this the cocoon
off,"
Then the little boy looked up and
said slowly and respectfully:
my papa says that all cocoons look
alike to him.
