from China indicates that events
are rapidly drifting in the direc-

vantage of Germany's position
as a belligerent, he will proceed
to seize everything available with
the German forces and fleet.
sit is expected that Germany
will take the WI Sung forts and
the Kiangan arsenal, thus domi-
mating Shanghai. 1t is also be-
lieved that she will attack the
Kiang Win forts on the Yang Use
from the land side; and endeavor
to seize the Chinese feet, in,
cluding the valuable new cruis

EASY TO GET FREEDOM.

Appropos of the proposition of the comptroller of the currency to limit the borrowings by the national bank directors of the funds of their own banks it is noticeable that numerous bank officers in New York are report ed to be highly rebelious. One bank president declares: I've have alto gether too much of the Washington end of this business" Others are quot ed as saying: We ought to be left freer than we are" and you can't make bank officers honest and of good judg- ment by law"
 It is true that you cannot make bank officers honest and of good judgment by law. But by a supervision thor oughly enforced you can limit the plunder and bankruptcies caused by those who are dishonest and of bad judgment.

TBOTTING CHAMPIONS PRICE.

The sale Of The Abbot yesterday is likely to produce some surprise and a good many conjectures as to the fac tors that fixed the price. The Abbot is the fastest trotter of the world up to date. Horses of no better established supremacy and decidedly less notable record for speed have in the past sold at private sale sold M, prices ranging from $4o,o0O to $1OO,OOO Yet at this w-ll-advertised sale The Abbot within a few months of having lowered the worlds record brings but $22 300.
 The question is whether this indi- cates a decline of interest in the trot- ting horse, or shows that auction sales, no matter how much publicity is giv- en to them, do not comand the prices to be obtained by private negotiations Probably both are true. But it is clear that if the rate of valuation es- abolished in the cases of Dexter and
