The Chinese Minister at Washington
has n dispatch from Shanghai, said to
have been sent there from Peking two
days after the reported massacre, say
ing that the legations were then safe.
Naturally the United States Govern
ment does not believe it. Were the
way open to send news from Picking to
Shanghai something would have got
through from the ENJOYS, assuming
them TO be alive. DESTROYS as the
Tsung Ii Yamen is to have the foreign
powers cease sending troops into Chi
ma, IL would not have overlooked the
value of reassuring kilograms from the
foreign diplomats. The lack of a sin
gle word points to the worst conclu-
sions and justifies the belief that the
Chinese Government ia merely playing
for time so as to gain a military adj
kvantage.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1900-07-27

The tragedy of Picking is the most
appalling one since the massacre at
Cawnpore when Mana Sahib shot down
the English officers in the presence or
their families. then butchered the
women and children and threw them
into the Martyrs Well. In more than
one respect these scenes were kin.
Doom was swift both in the Indian city
and the Chinese capital; terrible in its
blow, inhuman in its spirit. There was
no pity for the helpless; IT Is story or
the keen descending sword, of fiendish
tortures, Of ignominious death, of
bloody and charred wrecks of human
ity lying underfoot. To-day China
stands arrayed against civilization;
and there rises to the mind that pro-
phetic picture, painted by the hand of
the German Emperor, in which the
Christian powers in full panoply of
mail and with unsheathed swords stand
watching the savage apparition, yellow
of face and slant of eye, that looms
among the dun red clouds of the Far
Their East.
The hour has come for Christendom
to mass it's soldiery and force the great
barbaric empire to its knees. Other
wise the continent of Asia, catching
the lust of blood and mutiny, may be-
come hell of revolution from Siberia
To the Bosphorus. A retreat from Chi
ma would mean retreat from Asia and
the destruction on that vast continent
OF every good thing that civilization
has erected there since the days of
Marco Polo. Christianity. commerce.
trade. education. human life itself
await the issue appealing to the moral
world to save them from the hoof of
the beast.
In this great work America must do
its part. Say what one may about i'm
perialistic conquests; about the danger
OF Old World complications for a New
World power, the fact remains that the
duty OF the United States to restore
peace in China is as great as that of
England. or Germany or Russia. Am
erican missionaries and traders were
among the first to penetrate the an
cient empire; our people have given
freely of life and treasure to plant their
religious and commercial customs
there; IL alien presence caused the up
rising then Americans are responsible
with the Europeans; and blood calls
from the ground to us as it does e
others. America must stand shoulder
to shoulder with all champions o.
Christendom until China, bowling to thu
inevitable, yields right of way to thu
civiliziDg powers.

Stream Measurements" is the title Of a
volume just issued by Frederick II.
Newell. the photographer Of the Geology
cal Survey. The publication is a report
upon the highly important work OF gaug-
ing streams which the Survey has been
doing for several years in all parts Of the
country. The recent development OF cleo
trical power from waterways has caused
a careful enquiry from capitalists as to
The scream capacity. during low water
periods, data which il has been very diff
cult to acquire. and there has been great
demand for official figures Of the Govern
ment.
Mr. Newell states that in the South At
lantic States particularly. instances where
the power from small mountain streams
can be brought to 2 central point for
operation. capital. before investing cent.
requires figures Of undoUbted accuracy as
to the capacity Of streams.
The particular feature of the publica-
ton consists Of figures and diagrams Gov
ering periods of four six and in some
cases eight years Of consecutive stream
measurements. showing the variation OF
flow during the years and from year to
year. and in some cases a steady de-
crease in flow, year by year. thus afford
ing valuable statistics for proposed man
ufacturing plants
The difference in flow between flood and
law water periods in some Of the rivers
is startling. Taking for example. the
comparatively small Black Warrior River
in Alabama. Mr.. Newell shows in this
case that in March. 1898. she flow reached
SIS. 600 cubic feet per second. while BY the
LIST OF May it had receded to about
