in some quarters as too optimistic, II may
be we'll to point out that the report dealt
with the condition and prospects Of the
commerce as affecting Chinas national
interests and prosperity, and not from
the pniot of view Of the individual foreign
merchant who finds the volume of trade
tostricted for the amount Of competition
encountered. 1t is true that the trade.
when the possibilities are concerned, is Of
small dimensions; but the future Is dis
tinctly bright, If the results to he exnected
from the coming railways are calculat-
ed. The Chinese, from the highest to the
lowest, are traders by instinct and are
prompt to take advantage Of every oppor-
tunity Of profit. To form an idea Of
what future prospects are it is fair to
make a comparison with India. The
areas of the two empires are almost iden-
tical and their products very similar. But
China has a larger, a more Industrious.
and more Intelligent population; while.
more fertile and posses greater mineral
on the whole the country is probably
very much better and has more
resources. In the former country trade is
assisted by good roads, railways and light

poste conditions The result Is that the
exports from India are worth three times

tupities, which the building of railways

49,7S5 to 59100 piculs and realized most
renumerative prices Both importers and
native dealers have made profits The
reason for this remarkable increase in
trade which has been steadily dying
out was probably due to bad crops of the
native drug. The Chinese government has

WASHINGTON, JULY 1.-THE fo.eist
trade Of China In 1899 and especially the
effect of the railways upon business In
the section where the present didstur-
Dances are in progress is discussed in
tn annual report of the imperial customs
services of that country, just received
by the treasury bureau of statistics.
The following are extracts from the re-
port
Foreign trade of China during the year
1899 was characterized by an astonishing
development and merchants, both for
eign and native, made handsome profits
in almost every branch. The political
situation, although still unsettled, gave
rise to no immediate fears; exchange
crop was abundant; the spring weather
during the critical period for the silk
worms was unusually favorable; and ex-
cept for the occurrence of piracy on the
West river, there was no disturbances
to check the trade The gratifying re-
suits was that the year beat all previous
records and showed an advance without
precedent The total trade was valued
at haikwan taels 460,533 2SS, a rise Of
haikwan taels 81, ,916SO5 on 1898, and more
than double the figures for 1890. The
internal trade Of the country was also
unusually brisk, and the important
changes which will be brought about by
the extension Of railways have already
been proved.
New Chang and Tien Tsin promptly
responded to the stimulus Of better
means of communication, and the trade at
these ports has leaped forward. although
the former suffered from a severe out
break Of the plague. 1t is found that
Immediately trains began to run, districts
through which there was comparatively
little traffic sue has between Paoting and
Pekin suddenly commence to hum with
life and activity. and there springs up a
f1ourishing trade which as fwormerly un-
dreamt of and impossible for want of
cheap transport The Russian line has
been completed as far north as Moukden,
and the extraordinary richness of Man

said: There was time when the hu-

enlargement to those in Mourning. The

Coalvile, May 5.-The special funeral
train bearing the remains of the eleven
Coalville victims of the catastrophe at
Winter Quarters arrived here at 11:2O
last night, and Notwithstanding the
latenesS Of the hour nearly the whole
population Of COalville and vicinity was
out. Willing hands were there to care
for the mOurners and their friends and
to look after the dead.
About sixty pallbearers were on hand
and with all possible speed removed
the collins TO the vestry of the large
tabernacle, where a guard of willing
friends watched them through the re-
mainder of the night. In addition to
the dead there were in the neighbOr-
hood Of sixty mouTners and friends, all
of whom were made as comfortable as
the circumstances would permit
Another striking feature accompanied
the remains, in the profusion of beau
tiful flowers, the gift of friendly sym
pathizers at Salt Lake and other places
along the route, which nearly half filed
the car. They were arranged in floral
designs Of every description, and for
this tribute of love all gratitude and
appreciation Of the bereft and their
friends in this sad hour is truly felt
and extended.
The funeral viii take place at 2
O'Clock this afternoon, and the largest
funeral that ever took place in Sum
nit county viii be held. People from
all parts Of the county are here and
more coming to attend. and the capaci-
~ of the tabernacle will be taxed to its
utmost and then not accommodate more
than half Of those desiring admission.
Elder B. H. Roberts will be the princi-
pal speaker, and in addition there has
been arranged a most impressive and
appropriate programme for the cere-
monies

Once a coal miner always a coal

Keeper at the No. 4 mine at Scofield at
the Kenyon last night. After the aver
age miner has passed through an acci-
dent he generally says that he has dug

only a matter OF few days before he is
back at his old occupation again"
Speaking in regard to the average earn
ings OF miner who works on contract or
piece work, he said: 1T is generally
supposed that a coal miner earns a very
small wage This however is not the
case, for good man who understands
his business can earn from 800 to $40
month, and in a great many cases this
held good at Scofield."
