As an instance OF the raise in
value OF lands can be- mentioned the
reported purchase by Minister
Cooper of the Pearl City property
OF w. III. Rice. 1t is understood
that Mr.. Cooper paid $4,000 for the
land which Mr.. Rice was willing
few months ago to sell for $4,000.
What Mr.. Rice paid originally we
do not remember but it is evident
that there is boom in Pearl City
property.

While the city is as rule in total
darkness during the nights when
the gentle moon is not at work, the
halls and rooms used for assemblies
are brilliantly illuminated by the
Washington lights. These lights
don't "go out" while an earnest
patriot is addressing an audience,
but it keeps on burning as long as
it is necessary, and it takes very
short notice to have the lights
placed in position. Now, why can't
we have the city lighted by Wash

scarce? If the Minister of Interior
possessed an iota Of energy he would

A NAVAL DEMONSTRATION
Will Be Made at Some Chinese Port NeaI
Seat OF Discord.

Washington. March 1.-THE cablegram
from the American Association has been
received At the state department.. 1t has
not been acted upon but is under serious
consideration. At first reading ii is not
clear Just what connection exists between
the attitude OF the Chinese Empress Dow
dger toward the reform clement in China
and the ''open door policy III which the
United States with the remainder Of the
civilized world is interested. 1t is re-
called. however. that the Empress Dow
ager is prosecuting with relentless hatred
the reform party, going 50 far as to re-
sort T. the barbarous practice Of offering
large sum Of money for the assassina-
ton of leading reformers.
This reform "ienItnt in China is be-
lieved to include nearly all Of the Chinese
who are disposed To elevate China into a
civilized nation following n the footsteps
Of Japan. They realize that this can
only be done with the help OF foreigners,
and are therefore disposed to elevate
China through the Introduction of foreign
capital and foreign methods.
1t is assumed that the basis Of this rep
reStntation from the American AsSucia-
ton is an apprehension that the con-
scrvatiVe party surrounding the Empress
Duwagrr, in satisfying their luminosity
against the rrformcrS. Will excite the
dormant anti-fuIoi4n feeling among the
masses of Chinese to "A degree that will
make tn" open door Impossible Of at
tdinm-nt.
Ii is a curious fact that our minister to
China. Mr.. COngtr. has 50 far made nu
represents IONS 10 the state utlibTlllltl III

t. the department that serious attacks
have been made upon the American mis-
sion in Sguntung by the BOXERS A

Upon the minister's representations. the
stat" department has decided That an

press Duwager's party and the r"formers,
for this may be regarded AS 4 matter Of

A BIG ICE DEAL.
American Company Buys Out
the Knickerbocker.
Purchase Completed, Yesterday, in Au'
gusta--Price, $l0,OOO,O0O.
One Of The Largest Transactions in History o.
the Business.

Rumors We're current, yesterday
the taps. These rumors gained cur
rency, in part, from the presence in
our city Of Mr.. Robert A. Scott, the
secretary Of the American Ice Com
pany. and in part from efforts in this
direction which We're known to the in
itiated to have been in progress for
some time past.
Late in the afternoon, a representa-
tive of the Journal succeeded in secur-
ing an interview with Mr.. Scott. When
questioned on the subject, he said:
1t is true. The deal is completed
and our company has come into full
possession Of the properties and bust
ness of the Knickerbocker Ice Com
pany. Negotiations which have been
in progress for some time past were
brought to close, today. The price
paid was $4,000. GOO
This is. undoubtedly, one Of the
largest ice deals ever made in the his
tory of this country. Through the con-
solicitations Of 1895 and 1898. the ice in
dustry on the Kennebec came under
one general management, under the
local direction of Mr.. George \. Law
renee Of this city. At the same time
the three great companies represented,
the American. the Consolidated. and
The Knickerbocker. retained their or
CARNATIONS, and separate sets Of books
were kept tor each.
The knickerbOCker Company. which.
by this deal. has been permanently
merged in the American was one of
the oldest and best known in the coun-
try. 1t has for many years controlled
the bulk Of the output of natural ice in
the cities of Philadelphia, Baltimore
ana Washington. 1t has expended mil
lions Of dollars in developing the ice
industry of the KenneEeC and its i'm
mense plants along the river, are
among the finest in the country.
The deal OF yesterday will involve
no changes in management
AS is Wen known the American Ice
Company owns controlling interest
in the stock of the Consolidated Ice
Company which finds a retail market
for its output chiefly in New York
City. 1t is probably only a question
of time. therefore. when this company
also will be merged in the American.
