is CHINA WINNING?

A London Paper Thinks So, Owing to the
Attitude of United States and Russia.
The London Spectator in n striking
article dealing with the Chinese crisis
expresses the opinion that the most re-
cent occurrences Mt Pelsin foreshadow
Chinese victory over the allies.
1.-The quarrel has been brought to
the test of force" it says, land force
on the civilized side has proved INSULT
cient. This result is mainly due to the
attitude of Russia and United States.
If China escapes with the payment OF
small indemnity and many promises
on paper, as seems not unlikely, since
Germany and Great Britain may not be
willing to incur the expenditure and
risk involved in persisting in their de,
mands, it will be victory for China
for nothing has occurred that will con.
vince the Chinese that their mighty
Empress has been defeated or that Eu.
rope can avenge any future massacres.

ISTHMIAN CANAL ROUTE.
NiCARACUAN ROUTE RECON-
MENDED.
Canal Commission Reports-Compietion of
Canal Will Require Expenditure
of $500, 100000.

The report of the isthmian canal
commission which was submitted by
the president to congress Tuesday
gives as the unanimous conclusion of
that body that ''the most practicable
and feasible route for an isthmian
canal under the control. management
and ownership of the United States is
that known as the Nicaraguan route"
The commission estimates the cost
OF this route at 5000, $40, 900. This esti-
mate is much In excess of any hereto
fore made and Is due to increased di-
mensious and other features not here
tofore considered, The commission
also estimates the cost OF canal by
the Panama route at Sl42, 2,342, ,579, ac-
cording to one route, or $l56,37s,2 1858,
according to another route.
As between the Nicaragua and Pan
anna routes the commission sums up a
number of advantages favorable to the
former. 1t states also that under tho
concessions given by the government
of Columbia to the Panama Canal COM
pany that government is not free to
grant the necessary rights to the
United States, except upon conditions
made by the company.
After going over the several routes,
the commission considered the dimen-
sions of the canal to be built. Having
In mind the increasing size Of ocean
going vessels, it was determined to fix
upon depth of thirty five feet at mean
low water, and a bottom width of 1bC
feet, with some increase of dimensions
at certain points. These dimensions
are larger than those proposed for any
previous canal scheme. While they
may seem excessive today, the COM
mission says that the canal is not likely
to be opened within ten years, during
which time the increase in maritime
dimensions is likely to continue. A
width of $50 feet will allow all but the
very largest ships to pass each other
in the canal, while the locks are of a
dimension to permit even the largest
ships atloat to be Unanswered. The
size Of locks is 74O feet in length, 81
feet in width, in the clear, with q
depth of IS feet.

British offer TO rransvaaI.

The London correspondent of the
Leipsiger Tageblatt has received from
a highly-placed parsonage in England
the following communication: IF the
Beers should now surrender, England
will permit them to create a new Boer
republic in the northern half Of the
Transvaal 1t is in order TO keep the
possibility of this open that England
has not yet officially announced to the
powers the annexation OF the Trans
vaal.
lone of the first conditions, however,
is that the announcement of surrender
must come from Kruger. There is
every prospect that he will soon be in
clined to this course. His visit to
France has taught him that any num-
Der OF empty assurances OF sympathy
will not result in the slightest practi-
cal help. Germany will make fur
ther contribution to the education of
Mr.. Kruger, and it will be to her alone
that the Beers will owe thanks IL Eng
land makes them concessions.
This statement acquires some inn
portance by the fact that the semi-of-
fetal Post reproduces it and adds that
1t does not sound improbable, and that
England has every incentive to erect a
strong bulwark against the warlike
tribes of Central Africa in order to as.
sure the possession of the territory
they have just conquered.

One of the experts, DR.. Darcus Hamil.
ton, who will examine large number

will patrol the Boer country, said thai
1t was remarkable the satisfaction
American bred horses had given the
British military authorities, and that
he did not know what his government
would have done il it had not been for
the dependence that could be put upon
the American horse market, especially
in the west.
Good horses are scarce in Europs
and Asia" he said, "and even then the
few that can be procured in those
countries cannot be relied upon to dt
the work required as well as the Amer

Effects of New System.


Effects of New System.
Postmaster General Charles emory
Smith has submitted his snnual report
to the president. In it sbe financial
operations of the department for the
last fiscal year are shown briefly in the
following statement of revenues and
expenditures:
Ordinary postal revenue. 800, 500, 4s3;
receipts from money order business,
s1,455, Jas.
Total receipts from all sources, s1os,-
asa, 4,579.
Total expenditures for the year, s1o7,
74O,2
Excess Of expenditures over receipts
s5, 1885, 6ss.
The deficit for the year 1s99-19oo is
shown to be sl,225,o ,oss Less than the
previous year.
The estimated postal revenue for the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1902, is
Sll6,633, ,o42, and the estimated expendi-
ture, s12l, l,276, 349, leaving a probable
deficiency of $4 ,634, 30s.
Rural free delivery, the report says
has proved to be "the most salient, sig
nifcant and far-reaching feature Of
postal development. Besides swelling
the postal receipts, the values of farms
are enhanced, through the necessity
for good roads, and the opportunity
afforded the farmer to keep abreast OF
the times by being put into closer com.
munication with the outside world.
The isolation and monotony which has
been the bane of country life is sensibly
mitigated through the effect of rural
free delivery in placing the farm with.
in daily range of the intellectual and
commercial activity OF the world.
