AMERICA GREATEST WORLDS POWER
HEADS THEM ALL.
Sir Robert Griffin, the Celebrated English
Statistical Expert Bcstows This Tile
Upon the United States.

One Of the most notable speeches OF
last week was delivered by Sir Robert
Giffen, the noted statistician and form
er president of the Statistical society
before the Manchester Statistical soci-
ETY., upon the European population OF
the world. He declared the growth of
the United States compelled her recog-
milton as the most powerful state III
the world so far as population and re-
sources were concerned. He pointed
out that the United States really had a
greater European population than any
European state, for Great Brtain's
strength might be considered to be di-
minshed rather than increased by the
possession of large territories, while
the units of the Russian population were
so inferior that the pre-eminence of the
United States is not questioned. Ac-
cording to Sir Robert, there are now
only four great world powers, the Unit
ed States, Great Britain, Russia and
Germany, with France a doubtful fifth.
He expressed the belief that the "Ycl-
low peril would vanish, as the yellow
races were quickly being outnumbered
by the European, which, in another cen
tury, should number nearly two thou
sand millions.

How Captain Shields and His Men We're
Captured-Their Rescue.

Full details are now at hand as to the
capture OF Captain Devereaux Shields
and his party by the insurgents in the
Island OF Marinduque last month and
their experiences prior to their rescue
by General Luther X. Hare.
Captain Shields and his party, while

but became subjected 70 the enemy's
iour-sided fire, Captain Shields being
shot twice and badly wounded.
Alter four had been killed and five
wounded, being out OF ammunition, The
command surrendered through mis-
understanding of themselves to IS insur-
gent riflemen and 1000 Bolomen. The
rebels separated their prisoners into
small parties and conveyed them, heavily
guarded, to impossible volcanic noun
ta;ns.
General Hare gave the rebels one
week to surrender the prisoners and the
latters' rifles. The rebels perceived
that it was only a question OF time
when the release OF their prisoners
would be effected, and they opened up
communications with General Hare
which resulted in the handing over OF
the captives.

The Compact Is an Outcome Of the Policy
Outlined by the United siates-Dlp-

Great surprise was created in foreign
diplomatic circles when the announce
ment was made that England and Ger
many had formed an alliance to main
tain the open door in China and pre-
vent the dismemberment of the great
empire. II is generally admitted that
Lord Salisbury, who has hitherto taken
little part openly in the Chinese ques-
ton, was instrumental in bringing
about the agreement.
On every hand the move is admit
ted to be rational and helpful. II is cx-
pected TO clear away the cloud of inter
national suspicion which has hindcred
a clear view of the cxigencics of the
Chinese situation and threatened 4
peaceful settlement OF difficulties. Ger
many, by the agreement, comes in for
an equal share OF good intent in China.
There has been no attempt to dis
puise the fact that the alliance is direct
ed against Russia, whose actions in the
continued occupation of Manchuria have
aroused suspicion.
The United States first declared for
the preservation Of the Chinese empire
as an entity. One after another of the
powers has come TO our position. The
japanese legation approves OF the step
and Minister WI is enthusiastic. lie
says: This is most important move
ment, and / hope il will lead to a com
plete settlement. The agreement is ex-
actly in line with the American position
to which all OF the governments gave
their adherence. But coming at this
time from two such powerful nations
the agreement ought TO exert strong
influence toward settlement.
