of the American representative in China
who vised the papers as of the Chinese
official who issued them The English
version recited that they were mer-
chants, but did not state what kind Of

The Chinese official representatives in
the United States tried hard to secure
the landing of these people upon some
kind Of an arrangement whereby they
would not be put to the loss and incon-
venence or returning to China merely
to have such a small defect corrected.
But the department was memorable, ig-
noring all former decisions and prece-
dents No regard was paid as to how
much these intending purchasers in
American markets lost by the delay, nor
was there any doubt expressed as to
whether or not they had come to this
country to buy their goods. They were
compelled to return to China, and the
reports received from them state that
they will make their purchases in Eng
land.
Nor is this harshness confined to the
visitors from China. 1t Is extended
with even more severity to resident Chi
nese merchants who go to China, in
tending to return to their business in

merchants of the United States are ex-

to go there once in few years to look
after their affairs. Under a recent rul-

That was an interesting and ingenious
speech which Prince Hohenlohe made
on the last days session of the German
Reichstag. In it he maintained that
the demand for a strong navy prima-
rily originated with the German people
themselves, and was more than half a
century old. The governments of the
German States had formerly hesitated
to follow the popular movement. No
doubt in the days of the Bundestag the
idea of, a strong navy had slumbered.
In those days, said he ave were quiet
and harmless. We were comfortably
off, had no debts, comparatively light
taxation and no Agrarians, although
the landed proprietors, especially eighty
years ago, experienced very bad times.
We had no Social Democrats then, and
above all we had no anxieties with ref
erenee to foreign policy, at least in the
middling and petty German States
These states were quite content to

If the words Mr.. Bryan uttered in

of infamy for him to now compromise

of soberness and truth, if he was only
playing with the arts of the denagogue
and appealing to the prejudices and
passion of the people, he is dishonest
and unfit for tho Presidency. If he
was honest and sincere in 1896, but now
willing to acknowledge himself in error.
he is so lacking in Judgment and so de-
ficient in reasoning powers as to be
utterly incompetent to be the Chief Ex-
ecutive of the great republic.
So says j. Sterling Morton, who was
Cleveland's Secretary of Agriculture, in
telling why Gold Democrats will not
support Bryan. And Mr.. Abram S..
Hewitt says that man who denounced
as government by injunction" the per-
Torrance by the judiciary of the duty
imposed upon it by the Constitutional
law of the land; who denounced the
Supreme court, the bulwark of liberty
and order; who sought to overthrow
the Judiciary of the country, is man

also show that some of them wont have

TILE pENSION LIST.

1t is not encouraging to read that dur
ing the fiscal year just ending a gain
of about 1000 pensioners was made
over the record of last year, bringing
the total up to within a few hundred
of the high water mark for the United
States pension list. 1t is expected that
the close of the fiscal year will find
about 992, 500 pensioners on the rolls, as
against 991, $40 for last year There
were more pensioners on the rolls at the
end of the fiscal year 1898 than at any
other time In the history Of the coun-
try 993714 being the exact number. At
that time Commissioner Evans stated
that he believed the high water mark
had been reached and that the list
would thereafter decrease in size and
value. His prediction was borne out by
the events of the succeeding year, for
there was a falling off in the number
of pensioners to the extent of more
than 1000. The Spanish war and the
long durat ton of hostiltes in the Phil
ippines, however, upset Commissioner
Evans calculations. The gain in this
years figures is due solely to the adj
dtional pensioners. placed on the rolls
as a result of the war with Spain.
Seventeen hundred pensioners have
been added to the list on account of
the war in Cuba and in the Philippines,
and of these 400 were pensioned dur
ing the current fiscal year. If these
had been left out of the count another
decline i'll the roll would have been re-
ported for 1900, but as 1t is, 1t jumps
up to within few hundred of the big
gest year in the history of the govern
ment. A surprisingly large number of
claims for pensions has been filed by
the soldiers anG rela tives of those who
served in the war against Spain. Up to
date, more than 10000 applications have
been received, which amounts to 10 per
cent. of the total number of regular and
volunteer troops that We're under arms.
Doubtless In another year or two the
pension list will be bigger than it ever
