CONGER ON SITUATION IN CHINA.

He Says Next Meeting of ENJOYS VIII
Settle Differences.
A dispatch from Pekin, dated November
IT, via Shanghai, November 1S, says: The
belief that the note of the powers to the
Chinese commissioners, Prince Ching and
Ii Hung Chang, will be completed soon is
strengthened by the results of the recent
informal conferences of the ministers of
the powers.
Mr.. Conger, the United States minister,
said today:
THE situation is apparently very favor
able to the early beginning cf negotiations
for a preliminary settlement. l believe
that the next meeting of the foreign ENJOYS
will virtually settle all points of difference
between the representatives of the powers,
who will lose no time in presenting the de-
mands.
What the result will be 1t is impossible
to foretell. Events have placed China in
a very critical position. Whether she will
be able to preserve her integrity and to
save her trade relations with the rest of
the world will depend upon what the pow
ers demand in the final settlement, and
upon her willingness to accept promptly
the conditions proposed.
'It 10 quite unlikely, II not impossible,
that the Chinese court will return to Pekin
before next spring, but do not anticipate
any serious delay In the progress of the
negotiations with the Chinese commission
ers. as they are in te.eyrcpS.c co-G-n;.l..ca-

GOVERNOR DOLE'S REPORT
RAPID DECREASE OF HaWAII.y
RACE CHECKED.
Annexation Likely to Influence Native
character Very FavOrably-Legis-
lntion Recommended.

according to the report of the governor
OF Hawaii, Sanford B. Dole the decrease
OF the Hawaiian race has been steadily
growing less rapid for the past several de-
cades. especially the female population.
The increase of part Hawaiians tends to
keep down the number of the pure Ha-
waiians. While the figures show race
progress the census reports as to surviving
children are discouraging. In both the CEN
Suses of 1880 and 1856 the pure Hawaiian
percentage of survivors was the lowest of
all nationalities represented in the islands.
An encouraging outlook for the Hawaiians
exists in the fact that out of 632T owners
of real estate in 1896, 3.9a5 were pure IIa-
waiians and I'D part Hawaiians. The facts
are significant as showing the ownership of
holdings by so large number of pure Ha-
waiians, and the evident tendency of the
race to acquire homesteads. Governor Dole
reports that there is reason to expect that
annexation Is going to influence Hawaiian
character very favorably through the
changed conditions effected Their old de-
Pendence on their chiefs has ceased and
they are forced to rely more uDon them
selves. and their footing with the white
men in the future will be equal. The no
Etical privileges they enjoy in common with
other American citizens, he says, will tend
to educate them in public affairs.
The total valuation of real and personal
property in Hawaii subject to ad valorem
assessment in 1909 Is SaT 49l .5S4. The re-
ceipts from taxes are estimated at $l.3i1,-
go The commerce of Hawaii is shown for
the period between January and June II,

ports, 1l. l.4Oi. .!9i; customs revenues, $591,
S9I With the exception of the production
of sugar, rice, tirewUod. fertilizers and live
stock and the promotion of irrigation the
development of the natural resources of the
Hawaiian Islands is stated to have scarcely
begun.
Recommendations are submitted for leg
isation thoroughly revising the Hawaiian
corporation laws in view of some deficien-
cies and questionable features in the same
and conditions since anneXation: legis-
lation for appointment of various oommis
sioners for the protection of food fishes:
provision for education of children unable
to pass the required medical examinations;
for irrigation legislation and for a general
act covering municipal systems.

Jones' Manifesto.

The Hon. james X. Jones of Ar
kansas, rainbow chaser-in-chief of the
Democracy, has been delivered of a
new prophecy, which compares favor
ably with some of the finest of his
predictions in 1896. In the latter year.
it will be remembered, he predicted
that the Democratic-Populist nominee
would sweep every state in the Union.
In this new manifesto he prophecies
that the American people will rise up
as one man and condemn the course
of the administration in regard to the
Philippines. Here is the full text, as
reported by the Associated Press:
Il believe that every people have a
right to govern themselves in their own
way. The American people will rise
up as one man and condemn the course
of the administration as criminal ag-
gression. The next Democratic conven-
ton will reatfirm the Chicago platform
and nominate Bryan. 1t will declare
against trusts. 1t will declare in favor
of establishing freedom everywhere.
What our fathers believed in we be-
ueve in, and have no doubt about the
result My idea about the Philippines
.s that it is our duty to restore order
there and then allow those people to
make a government of their own and
let them manage their own affairs in
their own way. The government of the
United States should say to the Fill
tablish peace. We should treat the
F'ilipinos with the same good faith as
the Cubans. Whether we will keep
faith with the Cubans, / have my
doubts.

Industrial Progr. IS.

The Richmond Times speaks of the
South and expansion. 1t notes that
fifty-seven new cotton factories were
set in motion in the South last year,
and to those who fear that the busi-
ness will be overdone, it says:
THE new way is to increase our
manufacturing output far beyond the
needs of home consumption, and then
to seek foreign markets for the sur
plus. That is what expansion means,
and expansion in that sense is the live
lest issue of the age" And it notes
the fact that very much of the manu-
faetured cotton of the South found its
market last year in China, and the
Times adds: Therefore, these cotton
manufacturers said to the representa-
tives in Congress that they wanted the
government to stand by the open door
in China and keep it open;' that to
close it would be disaster to the
manufacturers of the South. 1t says
further that the South can easily pro-
duce twice as much cotton Us it now
does. The final conclusion is that the
time is rapidly approaching when there
will be no such thing as over-product
in this country.

and setting OF the sun. Our sympathy
goes out to those poor fellows in a
way that words cannot express"
The Tagalogs in the Philippines have
the same right to rule those islands
that Colorow had to rule Colorado, or
Geronimo had to rule Arizona, and no
more. If Aguinaldo's followers have a
right to govern themselves in their
own way, then the Utes and Apaches
have similar right. Why, under these
conditions, it should be our duty ito
restore order there does not appear
in Mr.. Jones remarks.
But this is not perhaps the most re-
markable part of Mr.. Jones' statement.
He adds g new plank to the Democrat
ic platform. He says 1.-The Beers are
making votes for us dhe Democrats)
with every rising and setting of the
SUM- 1t appears, therefore, that while
1t is our duty to keep out of the Phil
ippines, it is equally our duty to en-
courage and assist the Dutch in South
Africa. This does not seem exactly
consistent, but. then, consistency is not
looked for in Democratic platforms. If
Mr.. Jones has his way, the next Demo-
cratic convention will declare that 1t
is our duty to let Aguinaldo alone, and
TO help the Beers to beat the British in
South Africa. Perhaps the American
people will rise up as one man in sup
port of such a platform-just as they
rose up in support of Mr.. Jones' candi-
date in 1896.

At the dinner of the New England
Society Friday night the Hon. John
Barrett, formerly United States minis
ter to Siam. read this letter written to
him by General Lawton in November:
Il would to God that the truth of
this whole Philippine situation could
be known by every one in America as
l know it. If the real history, inspira-
ton and conditions of this insurrec-
lion, and the influences, local and ex-
ternal, that now encourage the enemy,
as well as the actual possibilities of
these islands and peoples and their re-
lations to this great East, could be un-
derstood at home, we would hear no
more talk of unjust shooting of gov
eminent into the Filipinos, or of haul
ing down our flag in the Philippines.
If the so-called anti-imperialists would
honestly ascertain the truth on the
ground and not in distant America
they, whom | believe to be honest men
misinformed, would be convinced Of
the error of their statements and con-
clusions and of the unfortunate effect
of their publications here. If 1 am
shot by Filipino bullet it might as
we'll come from one of my own men,

tirmed by captured prisoners that the
continuance of fighting is chiefly due
to reports that are seus out from Amer
lea"
This may be regarded rs the last
message of General Lawton to his
countrymen. He fell in var prolong.
ed by the American sympahizers with
the insurrection. Their inspiration di-
rected the bullet that toot him from
his country in his prime Df strength.
A war is indeed accursed il which the
enemies of America find their chief
encouragement and support among So
called Americans. By General Law

BY means Of the electrical discharges
from steel wires attached to tailless
kites of the Eddy type William A.
Eddy, the kite expert, believes he has
proved that a storms location can be
determined, whether it be in the east
ern or western hemisphere. A recent
experiment made by Mr.. Eddy at
Bayonne, N. j., showed the intensity
and direction of a storm several hun
dred miles north of Chicago. Mr.
Eddy, as a result of this investigation,
believes that the moment storms
gather, either in Manitoba or Siberia,
the great storm incubators, they can
be instantly detected in New York
John Milne, the earthquake expert,
can tell the instant an earthquake oc-
ours, whether it is in Hawaii, Indi2
or Mexico. Mr.. Eddy proposes to dc
the same with storm centers. Eddys
discovery means not only Chat mari
ner can determine the atmospheric
condition of his course before leaving
port, but that while en- route he can
detect and steer clear of severe storms
1t also means the elimination of such
losses of life as recently depopulated
Porto Rico, because the inhabitants
could be warned long before such a
storms approach and could prepare to
