COLONIAL MAIL SERVICE
KICKS OVER SUBSIDY DEMANDED
FOR WATTS.
wellington Trying to be Selected as
Calling Port-Statements of New zea-
land and Samoa Papers.

Judging from the statements of Sa-
moa and Auckland papers there seems
to be brewing over the mail sub
sides from New Zealand and New
South Wales. The Samoa Weekly He
raid has the following:
$50 far as we can learn nothing as
yet has been decided as to which port
in Samoa the new Mail Boats of the
Oceanic Steamship Company intend to
make their port of call; in fact by our
late files we notice that their is a dan
ger of the whole service being stopped.
Under the existing contract the pay
ments received by the San Francisco
mail service are, from the United States
f2S, 000 for New Zealand, nearly
100000; and from New South Wales,
about $4,000. In the case of New Zea-
land, the amount is recouped by post
age, but that has not been the case in
regard to New South Wales. 1t Is I'M
derstood that under the new proposals
which Mr.. Spreckels submits for the
continuance of the service, double the
present subsidy will be required to be
guaranteed by these colonies. New Zea-
land would have to pay some 100000
per annum, and New South Wales G1O,-
| 900 per annum.
1.-THE Wellington morning journal
voicing the opinion of the Empire City,
would seem to regard the prospect of a
VI lIle Odu FIdUClSCO
route with a certain amount of pleased
satisfaction. 1t AYERS, which is quite
true, that the 100000 asked by SprecK-
els is a bigger sum of money than we
feel inclined to pay and proposes, in
place of the San Francisco line, the re-
newal of the Vancouver service, which
was discontinued some time ago
"The "Times" says that by arrange
ments with the Union Company the
boats at the present plying between
| Vancouver and the Queensland could be
/ induced to touch wellington, thus es-
tablishing a triweekly service between
New Zealand and British Columbia. 1t
| also says:
"a rumor has been current in the
Empire City that the Oceanic Steam
! ship Company is favorably disposed to
the proposal to make wellington the
alternate port of call with Auckland.
We place no reliance on the statement,
but it's existance indicates clearly
enough the probability that the Well
| ington members will demand as the
price for their supporting the increased
subsidy a recognition of the claims they
urge"

the Mings have dealt back dagger thrusts
and insults for every kindness showered
upon them.
1t is the general sentiment among white
people who have lived among the Chinese
and who claim to underst and some little
about their motives and their ambitions.
that China will never be in a settled con-
dition until this Ming dynasty has been
exterminated or banished once ana for all
and the old Chinese line Of Emperors seat
ed on the throne. The great Province OF
Szechuan is the head and trent of the
TAPPING power, power that is steadily
growing and patiently making for its vi
innate object-the overthrow of the line
that usurped the throne $50 years ago
The Chinese who stand for a return of
the old Kings occupy vast stretch OF ter
ritory covering an area of 10000 square
miles, with its northern boundary extending
ESQ miles along the Yangtse and running
south in an irregular breadth of from 300 TO
$50 miles The provinces embraced in this
section OF the Empire contain from 90. 000,
eco to 100000 people. And these mill
lions ever keep alive the belief that some
day they Will be able to rise again and
DO away with the Manchu dynasty
These people are intelligent fatalists;
they never quarrel with facts And their
patience is as deep as the sea. They will
wait for the opportunity, and when il
comes they will strike.
Till that time China will never be at
peace.-Chicago Times Herald.

PEAT MAY BE SUBSTITUTED.
English Consumers Looking for "A
FneI to Replace Coal.
CFrom the London Daily Mail)


The London "coal ring" although 1t rules
the metropolitan market. is not unasSaila-
bic. There are more ways than one Of
beating the ring" and there is shortly TO
be introduced to the English market fuel
that promises to be considerably cheaper
and equally good for heating and illumi-
mating purposes. This material is peat,
not as peasants use it, in soft and bulky
form, but chemically prepared and COM
pressed into blocks that will ignite readily
and burn slowly, giving out great heat, with
a clear. bright faIne, and producing very
little smoke and ash. And the supply OF
peat is practically ilexhaustible. There are
millions of acres OF this fuel in Great Bri-
tain and ireland. the latter country alone
having 100000 acres of peat bogs.
The "distressful country has an ade-
auateIy developed source OF wealth in
these boys. Germany has shown how these
marshy tracts can be turned into verlt-
able gold mine, for there fourishing IN
dustry is maintained in the manufacture
of peat fuel. despite the fact that the
German boys are only from nine feet to
twenty feet in depth, while in these is
lands the depth varies from twenty -fve
feet TO forty feet. There have been many
attempts to utilize the peat lands OF this
country but success has not until recently
crowned these efforts. The great difficulty
has been in drying the peat-whch, when
taken from the bog, contains from 20 10
50 per cent of moisture-without cracking
the blocks.
Now, however, the obstacle has been
overcome An economical method of pre-
pairing the peat has been discovered, and
works are in course of erection on a large
peat moss in the north of England, with
the object of putting the fuel on the mar
ket before the winter.

the country that La between them and
their own native land not only under sub
lection, but enjoying fairly good govern
ment. There never was any more DELHI
crate or better planned conquest in the
history of the world. Before the Man
chus advanced from captured district it
had been practically made a part of their
own nation. II they could not accomplish
this change in one year they waited Eve.
In front of Pekin the invaders halted
for two months. One night traitors opened
the gates Of the city. and for twenty-four
hours the .horoughfares ran blood. The
palaces and all vestige of Chinese author
ity were swept away, and before the year
was ovec Cnina's first Manchu ruler
assembled the throne.
The dynasty has remained there from
that day TO this Instead, however, Of
stamping its impress on the country or
bringing with it any changes in the life or
methods of the Chinese. it's Marchurian
customs have almost completely lied out
and the Chinese literature, religion and
habits have thoroughly transformed the
conquerors. And more than that, the
Chinese have actually overrun Manchuria
and so stamped it with the Chinese hall
mark that the Manchu nation. as a ma
ton, has been practically wiped off the
map.
Though China has obtained this mild
hammered revenge on the invaders, the very
great mass of the people have never been
reconeiled to the conquering dynasty, ana
the whole southern and southeastern part
of the Empire, with its teemtng millions
of people, may be likened to & smoldersns
volcano, ready at any moment TO break
out into rebellion and place a Chinese
family on the throne. In the whole 2aG
years since the Ming dynasty began TO
rule. this determination has been kept
steadily alive.

all the terrible charges that were laid at
the door of the rebels and generally be-
lieyed was treated by the European Gov

not conscious of making the movements,
and is unaware he is putting his muscles

with the idea of the independence of the
spinal cord. We see that consciousness
