OUR INTERESTS IN CHINA.

Tien Tsin, Newchwang, and Che Foo, |
which are mentioned as the points of |
greatest activity and danger, aside from
Pekin the capital, in the present trou- |
bles in China, are especially important
in relation to American trade in that
country. They are in the northern part
of the country and it Is in them that
American goods seem to be in the
greatest favor. The growth of our trade
in that section is described somewhat in
detail by a recent publication of the
treasury bureau Of statistics, which de-
scribes Tien Tsin as the most important
city of northern China, being located at
the head of the Gulf of Pechih and but
so miles from the capital, Pelkin, with
which it is connected by water and by
railway line. Another completed railway
line runs ENTHUSIASTICALLY to Shanhai-
kwau, and an elaborate railway system
IS projected southwark from this point
through the populous provinces Of
Shantung and Kiangsu to connect
Tien Tsin in with Shanghai. In addi-
tion to these, the Grand canal the most
important Of the great artificial water
ways Of China, has for centuries con-
nected Tien Tsin in with the Yangtse-
Kiang and Shanghai It's population is

ports, which in 1888 were less than 30
100000 haikwan taels, We're in 1897 more
than $4,000 900 haikwan taels, having
thus nearly doubled during the decade.
The commissioner Of customs, Mr.. Al
fred Hippisley, writing in 1898 of the
1897 trade, calls attention to the import
ance Of American trade at that port,
and adds that it is the only trade which
Increased in 1898 over that of 1897, say
ing that American drills, American
sheetings and American kerosene had
especially increased in imports during
the year, while the cotton goods from
other countries were showing a de-
crease. Another interesting fact to
which he calls attention is that the new
railway line recently built to connect
Tier Tsin with Pekin is already proving
extremely popular with the Chinese. On
this subject he says: 1T is astonishing
how speedily Chinese, despite their re-
puted conservatism, adapt themselves
to a new environment and make the
most Of increased transport facilities Of
fered them. Already Pekin fruit is sent
direct to TalSu for shipment south, and
PelSin is similarly supplied with south
ern fruit, and traffic generally develop
ed 50 rapidly that 1t soon became neces-
Safy TO double the line"
Consul Reade, Of the United States,
says that Tien Tsin ranks in CONNER
cial Importance next to Shanghai and
Canton, and in a report to the state de-
partment, says: "Tien Tsin, by its geo.
graphical position. is the point of ac-
emulation and distribution of all mer-
chandise destined for the United States
or intended for consumption in the
northern provinces of China. Direct
shipments from the United States to
Iien Tsin are impracticable, it being in
all cases more advantageous to ship to
Shanghai or Hong Kong and then trans
ship to the steamers Of light draft that
ply between those ports and Tien Tsin y
Che Foo is considered an extremely

Importance to American interests Is pic
tured by Consul Fowler in a. report to

TT is satisfactory to see that during the
six months under review the following
American goods show a gain over the

pieces; sheetings, III. 04O pieces; kero-
sene oil. 942,O50 gallons"
Newchwang, while a comparatively
small city Of but $4,000 population, is of
especial Importance to the United States
as a treaty port. 1t is located at the ex-
IRENE north of the Gulf of Pechii, con-
siderably farther north than Tien Tsin,
and is Of especial Importance to the
United States because Of the demand
for goods from this country in that Sec
ton. American cottons, oils. and Amer
lean manufactures generally are in
great demand in the province of Shing-
king, of which Newchwang is the treaty
port and most important city, and goods
reach the interior by the Muren river,
which is navigable nearly to the north
ern border of the province. The pro-
posed Russian railway line, which is
projected through Manchuria and the
province of Shingking to Port Arthur,
passes near Newchwang, and is to be
connected by a short line. Another. a
British line, will connect Newchwans
with Shanhaikwan, which is already in
railway connection with Pekin.

BAD FOR L ROADS.
Court Awards Damages to a Com
planning Property Holder.

Chicago, June 26.-Judge Hancy today
overruled motion for new trial in the
case of Coll versus the Metropolitan
Elevated railway and entered judg-
ment for 81, $50 against the road in favor
of Mrs. Coll who alleges that the road
has lessened the value of her property
adjacent to the road.
This is the first case which has result
ed in the entering of a judgment against
the Metropolitan on these grounds and
should the supreme court uphold the
finding of the lower court it will, it is
claimed, mean heavy loss to the ele-
waited roads of the city, as there are
scores of similar suits pending already
to be entered against them and in each
heavy damages are asked.

Hours.

Mobile, Ala, June ga cloudburst
occurred in Mobile early today, followed
by tremendous downpour of rain Ev-
cry street in the city was submerged.
Business in the city is practically sus-

ent to estimate the losses.
The rainfall from a. m. to noon was
12.7 inches and the downpour continued
in the afternoon. The rain seems to be
confined TO the gulf coast. It is report

TODAY WAS HOT.
Thermometers Registered as High as
100 in the Shade.

The stereotyped phrase hottest of the
season. is appropriate today At 2
o'clock this afternoon various thermom-
eters in shaded places on Kansas avenue
registered temperatures from SO to 100 de-
grees above zero. Up to this afternoon
% degrees above has been as high as the
temperature has been registered this year
The heat today is of a sultry character,
although an occasional refreshing breeze
makes painting and perspiring pedestrians
long for the cool air of the mountains or
seashore. However the breezes are not
frequent enough to have any effect other
than that of causing people to be dis
satisfied with their surroundings.
No sunstrokes were reported.

ONE THOUSAND MEN.
That Number Got Work in Harvest
Fields Through Labor Bureau.

Labor Commissioner Lee Johnson has
been making a tour. over the western
part of the state looking into the con-
ditions Of labor and also making an
effort to supply whatever demand for
harvest hands that is now existing in
that part of the state.
I'VE have furnished 1000 men en-
ployment," said Mr.. johnson. THE
wages paid average from $3.50 to 81
per day and had it not been for the
fact that squads of men came from the
east and settled in the wheat belt to
await the harvest the wages would
have been higher. The preference by
the department was given to Kansas
men and I believe that large ma
