a sea of flames and causing consterna-

the dwellings near by began hastily re-

A CHINESE VIEW OF EXPANSION

a CHINESE VIEW OF EXPANSION.
The Chinese minister to the United
States IS an exceedingly affable gentle
man named Wu Ting Fang. Mr.. Fang
was the principal orator at Washing
tons birthday celebration held in Phila-
delphia. and among other things said by
him was this:
"As the recognition of the open door
in China by the great powers mas recently
been brought about by your government,
the question now arises whether 1t lS not
time for this country to extend 5he MOI
roe doctrine to Asia. The Phlhppine
Asia and may be said to be at the door
of that continent. The Monroe doctrine
being the fixed policy of your government
the natural logic is that II snouiq pe apo
nIied To that part of the world where
fhis country has possessions. This poncy
is by no means selfish one. but as L
have already remarked, is founded on JUS
tice and self-protection, and Ii persistent
" carried out 1t will tend greatly 20 the
preservation of peace wherever 1T Is en-
forced"
II might be supposed by the casual read
ing of the above that this eminent China
| man does not fully comprehend the scope
and meaning of the Monroe doctrine, or
that this part of his speech was strongly
tinged with humorous sarcasm. But Mr..
WI Ting Fang is a great student and
diplomat of distinguished ability. He
probably has more thorough under
stand of what is meant by and involved
| in the Monroe doctrine than nine out of
| ten American citizens, and it is clearly
| apparent that this part of his address Is,
| and probably was intended as rebuke
| to the expansionist ideas and policy Of
President Mckinley and his advisers.
| His reference to "the open door" in
| China recalls the fact that, in the midst
of the Dragging and blowing of trumpets
by Secretary Hay over the alleged recog-
| milton by the great powers of Europe OF
| the '.epen door, Mr.. WI Ting Fang in
| his affable way drew attention to the fact
that the United States government had
neglected to mention the matter to China,
| the party of the first part, the inference
being that without the consent of China
any concessions made by European pow
| ers were valueless simply because they
/ conveyed no title; that they were in fact,
merely aaft-elaims. of contingent in
terest.
Now Mr. WI Ting Fang, in his inno-
cent Chinese way, asks if it is not time
for the United States to extend the
Monroe doctrine to Asia, and he sapiently
| draws attention to the fact that the Mon
roe doctrine is fixed policy of this gov
erDment and, as it must extend to all pos
sessions of the United States, 1t necessar-
lily must embrace the Philippine Islands.
It is barely possible that Mr.. Fang may
not have been sincere when he described
the Monroe doctrine as unselfish and
| founded on justice and seif-protection.
ard that if perslstently carried out 1t will
tend to the preservation of peace where
| ever 1t is enforced" It is probable that

THE DAYS OPERATIONS IN STOCKS.

Liquidation in the steel stocks at the opening
was responsible for selling elsewhere in the list,
and first prices therefore weak and under
Mondays last quotations. Federal Steel COM
mon sold down on the announcement that
no dividend would be paid in the current year
but the decline offerings were absorbed by
good class OF buyers Federal Steel common
paid dividends out of last years earnings early
in the year At the end of the current year
similar action will doubtless be taken, as the
failure 10 pay dividends in the course of the
year Will not be due to poor earnings, but to the
company's articles of incorporation. which do
not permit a dividend in any year on the COM
mon stock until the preferred stock has received
its full per cent for that year. The steel
stocks have according to bear opinion, received
a bad black eye by the movement of Federal
Steel but their actual worth has not been less
ened, and their speculative possibilities will
doubtless soon again appeal to Wall Street
Early declines We're followed by recoveries in
most issues which were well maintained until
the close In the afternoon the whole market
showed pronounced strength with noteworthy
advances in Baltimore and Ohio and heavy buy
ing in the coal shares. The business was we'll
distributed. and sentiment bush at the
close
Many accounts accumulated earlier in the year
and in the December market have been liqui-
dated at ruling prices. But there are many
strong accounts which have not been liquidated.
and, far as can be learned from good au-
thorities, stocks sold have not been lodged in
weak hands. OF course. some weak accounts
have been created, and technical market condi-
tons are therefore more susceptible to bear
attacks. bur the general position OF speculation
is not considered near the danger point When
the present enthusiasm begins to wane short
sales may be profitable Industrial stocks for
the moment are not in favor, because Of recent
developments in Sugar and Steel affairs. Rail-
road stocks, however. held in high esteem
by spectators and investors, and II is generally
believed that judcious purchases will result
in satisfactory profits. The increasing grain
movement in the West is helping the Granger
shares, and the favorable position of the local
coal trade and the scarcity OF coal abroad are
adding value TO the coal stocks. Railroads in
the South and Southwest and in Mexico are
making records of earnings. Traffic re-
ceipts all over the country expanding, and
dividends on many issues which a year ago were
considered doubtful are in view. All conditions
favor the railroads. and railroad shares will
sell higher.
