During the administration of Presi-
dent Mckinley great and important
changes have taken place in the gen.
eral estimate put by the Orient upon
the United States Of America, says j..
Sloat Fassett, the distinguished New
York Republican leader.
Previous to 1896 there was prevalent
only vague notion Of our wealth and
our power as nation. 1t was general
ly understood that we were great
money makers, manufacturers and
traders; that we had q small and in
efficient army and a small and untried
navy. Compared with the military and
naval strength and display of European
nations, and compared with the diplo-
matic equipment Of these nations, the
United States suffered in the minds OF
most Orientals, who are profoundly i'm
pressible by the outward and snowy
demonstrations of wealth and power
and the disposition and ability to use
them.
Since the resurrection Of industrial
activity, due to Republican policies

General Linevitch asserted that the dis

ment that ell the powers were adopting
the same policy. The other generals re-
piled that they had received no orders of
that nature.

sylvania during 1899 was 1908, 3,4S5 net
tons, an Increase over 1896 of 1886, ,415
tons, or nearly SO per cent
The value of this enormous produc-
tion was s233. .377 .126. an increase over
1896 OF $114,347, 1854, or over 96 per cent.
LABOR WAS BENEFITED.
The number of workmen in 1899, in
dependent of those employed in the
rolling of black plate. was 1882, an in
crease over 1896 of 16,409, or 30.6 per
cent.
The average earnings of the 1882
workmen, skilled and unskilled, was
$3.50, as against $444.S9 in 1896, an in
crease Of $114.11, or 25.6 per cent.
Pennsylvania had 81 black plate
works in operation during the whole
or part of 1899, of which IS turned out
a timed production. 1858, ,600,734 pounds
of black plate were made, as against
15S. 400 pounds in 1896. an increase
of 210,294 PA pounds, or 1928 per cent
Pennsylvania increase in timed
production for 1899 has been equally
as satisfactory as her increase in black
plate. the aggregate of the black plate
works and dipping works combined
being 331 .082,734 pounds. as against
139. .588.703 pounds in 1896 an increase
of 1871 .494,031 pounds. or 1872 per cent.
Pennsylvania's share of the entire pro-
duction of the United States of tin and
terne plate for 1899, which has been
placed at 891 100000 pounds. was about
81 per cent. Comparing this produc-
tion of the United States for 1899 with
her production in 1894, of 166, ,343 400
pounds, 1t will be seen that the increase
in the United States for the past five
years has been 724.656,59l pounds, or
435 per cent.
The number Of workmen employed
in the black plate works for 1899 was
1852, an increase over 1896 of 4,488, or
140.5 per cent. and the average daily
wage for all workmen was $2.36, an in
crease of Sc cents per day.

and other antiforeign leaders for caus-
ing the trouble in which China has be-
come involved. He received also tele-
gram from Mr.. Conger at Peking which
contained information that may call for
important action by this government.
Mr.. Congers dispatch tells of the ap-
pointmeDt Of the Chinese peace commits
sion, and among tthe commissioners nam
ed is General Jung Lu, who commanded
the imperial troops in Peking during the
attacks on the foreign legations and
stands accused by Minister Conger and
others of being a participant in the at
tacks.
Unless that accusation is disproved and
Jung Lu is shown to have been, as he
asserts and the Chinese government pro-
fesses, consistent friend of the lega-
TONERS during the period of their ordeal
Of shot and shell the United States will
hardly consent to accept him as a pleni-
potentiary to negotiate a peace arrange
ment. This government has declared
that 1t will have no dealings with any
Chinese concerned in the antiforeign out
RACES, and Jung Lu stands accused of
being in that category
Jung LUIS absence in the interior is evil
IDENTIFY measure of safety on his part
He probably does not dare show himself
in Peking until the powers have declared
that he is acceptable. Tin Kun vi and
Chang Chih Tung, named with Ching. Ii
and Jung Lu as peace commissioners, are
the viceroys Of Marking and Wuchang.
They are acceptable to the United States
and it is believed, to all the other pow
ers. During the period of the antiforeign
excitement in China they co-operated
with the foreign consuls of the southern
Chinese ports in maintaining order in
their provinces and showed pronounced
proforeign tendencies Prince Ching and
Earl Lii are acceptable also, SO that Gen
eral Jung Lu is the only Chinese plenipo-
tentiary to whose appointment there is
likely to be any objection.

GREAT BRITAIN LEFT BEHIND.

GREAT BRITAIN LEFT BEHIND.
These figures are very significant,
when 1t is reflected that in 1894. just
six years ago, Great Britain produced
nearly IL per cent more pig iron than
was produced In the United States,
and that In 1899 Great Britain's in
crease In production over 1894 was but
little over rs per cent, while the in
crease on the part Of the United States
was over 100 per cent.
The market value of Pennsylvania 9
production of pig iron for 1899 was
close to hundred million dollars, the
realized value being $98. 8.203. .803. As
compared with 1898 the increase was
$44.872.575. or 841 per cent, and as
compared with 1896 the increase was
$5S,03l ,764. or 1174 per cent.
An average of 15.347 workmen were
employed in Pennsylvania In the max
ing OF pig iron during 1899, an increase
over 1896 Of 3.767. or 325 per cent.
The average earnings In 1899 for
skilled and unskilled labor was nearly
500 in excess of 1896, the average for
1899 being 3495.1s. and for 1896. $396.30.
Pennsylvania produced 6.446.l59

an increase Of nearly 80 per cent over
1896. The production OF the United
States for 1899 was l0.6s9.S57 gross
tons. and OF Great Britain about 5.000.-
900 tons. Pennsylvania consequently
produced over 60 per cent Of the pro-
duction of the United States and about
20 per cent more than Great Britain.
The increase In production of steel
In the United States for the past Ave
years has been III per cent. while
