undertaken in advance of the general enum-

The United States has not only the
largest and most luxurious hotel in the
world, but there are more magnificent
hotels, ranging in cost from 81 200, coo
to S12,OOOOOO, here than in any other
country.
Nowhere else is so much money paid
for hotel accommodations as in New
York City either by individual guests
or by the hotel population collectively
Moreover, the most luxurious hotels
are by far the most prosperous. The
present effort is not to build econOpo,-
caIy, but extensively; to crowd as
much luxury as possible into hotel
building; for the rich American can

borders already dwell one-thlrd Of the
entire human race. Its haIf-biIlion OF
population promises a trade that is
recognized os the grand prize of f11-
ture commerce All other markets fade
into insignifcance beside it. It is not
strange, therefore, that the powers
have been striving by threats and CO.
ercion TO bring it under their control
and that they have jealousy watched
each other while seeking to secure ad-
ditional concessions for themselves and
TO enlarge their own spheres Of fnfiu-
ence. One reason that the Chinese
government has apparently favored the
demonstration of the Boxers is that
it has been hoped that it might at
ford an opportunity for repudiatiner
some of the concessions that have been
granted TO foreigners in recent years
The common people in China are
peaceable and hOspitable, and not Cd

inventions It is a sight never to be
