of the punishments.
No War of Conquest.
Berlin, Nov 2O.-In the reichstag
Monday, on the occasion of the pres
entation of the supplementary credit
for China. Count Won Buelow, the i'm
perial chancellor, emphatically de-
MED the assertion frequently made
abroad that the China imbroglio was
traceable to the German occupation
of Kiao-Chou.
The count said further:
what Germans desire is, not political
adventure. but the assertion of our inter-
ests, our rights. and our honor as great
people. We are waging no war OF con-
quest on China. We only wish for atone
ment for Chinese misdeeds and guaranty
of reforms. We especially desire atone
ment since. otherwise. such things might
occur again. We desire that the influence
accruing to Germany in the present move
ment shall be preserved to her. We desire
our share in what is to be won from China.
We will not overreach anyone and we will
not let anyone overreach US. We have
nothing to gain by partition of China
and do not desire it. We shall fare best
sible., under the best-ordered administra-
!tion obtainable. and remains solvent"
Talk About China.
Washington. Nov. 21.-The Chinese
situation was the main topic under
consideration at Tuesdays cabinet
meeting. The administration is not
disposed to join with the other gov
ernments in making demands upon
the Chinese imperial authorities
which the Chinese government can
not comply with
To Prepare for War.
London, Nov. 21-"It is credibly re-
ported" says the Shanghai corre-
spondent of the Daily Telegraph, un-
der Mondays date, "that the empress
dowager has telegraphed secret de-
cree warning all governors and vice
roys to prepare for immediate war
against the allies everywhere"
ENJOYS Don't Agree.
Washington, Nov. 22.-Advices from
Peking say the meeting of the foreign
ENJOYS has unexpectedly developed a
point of difference which has brought
the negotiations to a temporary
standstill, and the matter will be re-
ferred to the home governments. The
United States will decline to take
part in any partition of China. Gen.
Tung Flu Hsiang, condemned to death
by edict, is reported at the head of
an army ripe for rebellion in China.
A Waiting Policy.
Washington, Nov. 23.-The admins
tration has adopted waiting policy
in the matter of the Chinese negotia-
tions Mr.. Conger, in accordance with
his instructions, will advocate at Pc
king that the powers adopt demand
which the Chinese government will
be able to comply with.
Hay to the Powers.
Washington, Nov. 24.-Secretary
Hay has addressed an identical note
to the powers, suggesting steps lead

the longer to philanthropy and other
work for the benefit of humanity in
general. If it proves worth while to
set that up as Il social principle, tho
next step will be the emancipation of
man himself from conditions which en-
slave him so that he may act as his
own philanthrOpist and what not. A
change of work is all that is offered to

him, it will be none the less so for the

should follow the rut. Ignorance is
bar to progress, and the sigh of the
lowly for knowledge is only natures
cry for onward movement. Even day
labor requires skill. The woodchopper
must know where to strike the grain in
order to cleave the log. Even SO little
skill is an earnest of more and higher
if the woodchopper is given a chance.
New Social Conditions.
At the beginning of the new century
the mass of humanity is eager to be in
the progress which formerly attracted
the few. If the prize isn't exactly In
sight. the excitement of striving pays.
There are at least new pulsations of
life in place of former stagnation. No
body minds toll which is congenial.
The compleXity of modern life in
creases every day and multiplies the
forms of activity. The farm boy goes
back to the land from college knowing
that what he formerly called stone and
ore and soil are not merely clumpS of
dead matter, but mineral and chemical
combinations which he can analyze
and understand. All that is worth
knowing of the properties of matter
and the uses to which mere things can
be put will soon be part of the univer-
sal folklore of America. In the TWEEN
tieth century man will be studied and
analysed and given his place in the
universe. Under new conditions he
will work over the old puzzle to see
whether life is not really worth living.
AS the nineteenth century has capped
the climax of material achievement, so
its successor should be the dawn of the
golden age of man.
Recently some philosopher has figur-
ed it out that men of affairs should be
urged to retire early from their money

Fff it were true in all cases that the
future could be judged by the past, it
might well be predicted that the TWEEN
fieth century must surpass the nine
aeenth in marvellous achievements. AT
the dawn of the new century the mind
Is staggered in the effort TO compre
hend the resources which nature and
human genius combined have brought
TO the use of mankind within the last
hundred years. Looking backward TO
the dawn of the cycle just completed,
1t IS almost inconceivable that from
beginnings so simple or from no be-
ginniDgs at all there have sprung de-
Yelopments so wonderful.
The years of dragging changes which
link the two periods, the then and the
now, what was-or, rather, what was
not-and what is, battle all attempts to
portray a contrast. One may think Of

THE MAP OF THE FUTURE.
Possible Changes In the Next One
Hundred Years.


Hundred Years.
The dawn of the twentieth century
finds the map of Europe very much
as it was n hundred years ago, when
Napoleon 1 set out on his war of con-
quest. y German empire, it IS true,
has taken the place of the several
small states of 1901, but it is more in
the form of federation than a con
solidated realm. Russia has expanded
her territory, but Austria, Italy, Spair
and England remain the same.
In the new world NapOleon's short
sightedness added an empire to the do
main of the United States, and the
growth of this country into realm
spanning the continent has been the
one striking phase of national develop
ment in the nineteenth century. The
south Pacific islands and India have
added to England's greatness for the
time being.
Perhaps the future has in store
changes now undreamed of, but the
present indications are that the United
States, Russia and Germany alone are
destined to widen their borders.
The neighbOrs of the United States,
north and SOuth-that is, Canada and
Mexico-may find it to their advantage
to join the strongest power on the
American continent. Annexation with
the United States has for years been
the hope of many Canadians. 4 day
may bring forth n crisis which will
compel this country TO settle the ques-
ton on the merits OF expediency.
In the south the control of the Mica
raguan canal will introduce a new
power on the isthmus. and on that side
weaker states, eventually Mexico pos
sibly, being progressive republic, will
seek alliances first and then union with
the United States.
The decay Of Austria points to an
absorption by Germany. and eventual
~ the Teuton will push eastward and
southwark, driving the Turk from Eu-
rope and absorbing the smaller states
to the shores Of the Black sea. Hol-
land and Denmark may go to Ger
many, while Sweden and Norway will
join Russia. Russia will extend her
borders southwark, but the English
and German alliance, IL perpetual. will
check her ambition to absorb China
and reach the Persian gulf.

Judge A. w. Moore arrived in

has had q rich and varied expert
ence in mining, went east for the
purpose VI interesting capital in
the rich Salmon river copper
district.
Asa result of Judge Moore's

Mining and Smelling Co. filed
articles of incorporation with the
Secretary Of State ut st Paul,

Judge Moore, vice president and

Immediately after the incorpor-
alton Judge Moore left st. Paul
for Chicago, where he purchased
a Sullivan drill. The drill outfit
weighs l6, 900 pounds, cost $4,000
and will be shipped at once to
Stuart.
The company is capitalized at.

value of $1.OO, 300, 900 Of which
60 into the treasury. The articles
OF incorporation set forth that it is
the intention of the company to
develop copper mines on Salmon
river and to carry on q general
mining business in Idaho county.
Judge Moore will first turn his
attention to the Indiana group of
copper claims, comprising the
Indiana, Ohio and Mineral Point.
and located about five miles below
Whitebird on the opposite side Of
the river. There are splendid
surface showings ON these claims,
particularly on the Indiana, where
the company as soon as two miles

install the drill and thoroughly
explore the claim. II conditions
are favorable they propose to drill
1900 feet on the Indiana big cop
per vein.
The Salmon river copper district
as is generally known has splendid
surface showings, and the result of
the diamond drill test will be
