the Council to have legislative po-
wers in convection with a Legislative
assembly elected by the people, the
Governor to have veto, which
could be overruled by two thirds

had come to the conclusion that it
would be wise to omit the legisla-

After again urging che necessity

Recent mutterings against the
tax required to pay the government
bounty, the enormous increase in
production, and probably also the
brilliant success of the U. s. own
Sugar Trust in securing favorable
legislation have doubtless inspired the
German manufacture to "get toge-
ther" for the regulation of their in

The Chinese Question

In answer to an Interpolation in
the House of Lords, the Marquis of
Salisbury said not long ago in re
ference to the Chinese question that
whoever wished to know the truth
should try to investigate the doings
carried on at certain residence in
Peki9s and still better, on the ins
and outs = :. certain Island which
exists inside of the said residence.
The British Governments atten-
ton being so fully engrossed with
the South African War, Lord Sa-
lisbury was unable to check the in
fiuence of Russia near the Empress
DOwager who resides in the small
island mentioned above.
This is shown by the news co
ming from Shanghai and from Pc
Kin commented upon by the Anne
rican press, which declare that the
British Legation in China did not
know of the Imperial Edict declaring
Prince Pu-Chum the successor of
KWang Su to the throne until the pu-
blication of this Edict.
This is the work of France and
Russia and resuscitates the inter-
national fight of the powers in Eu-
rope for influence in the extreme
Orient.
The English mediation in China
has been always justified as being
imposed by the necessity of bringing
civilization in the celestial Empire.
Princess Tsu An, the Dowager
Empress has always been opposed
to the English influence and this is
not the first good service she has
rendered to Russia
For the last forty years the widow
of Hsien- -Tung has taken in her own
hands the reins of power in the ad-
ministration of China.
She has been compared to Cathe
rine of Russia; she provoked the war
with Japan and the conflict with
France in 1884 offered her the op-
portunity to discard from the Go
vernment Prince Kung, the uncle
of Emperor Tung Chi.
Not year ago the Pekin Gazzet-
te announced the illness Of Kwang
Shu and that the Empress Dowager
would take hold of the Government
of China. The oportun interference

Donald by calling the attention of
the Secretary of the Tsun-gli-Ya.
men on the Consequences which
might arise from the death of the
Emperor, was sufficient to restore
the health of the monarch, thing
that all the Chinese PHYSICIANS had
not been able to accomplish. Now that
the elimination of Hwang, Shu is
announced for the second time per-
haps the English Minister in China
may not be able to make the same
showing because of the cOncentra-
ton of England's attention on the
Transvaal War.

The southern provinces are stimu-

is a general necessity Ofregeneration
and life. One of the Cities that it
was believed would suffer most
trough the loss of the Colonies is San
tander and the revival of business
there is specially worthy of notice.
This effort of the people of Santander
really deserves praise.
One of the leading papers in that
city states that many millions of
"pesetas" have been subscribed this
year for enterprises of different kinds
and this shows that great lessons
are always learned from great mis-
fortunes. @
During the end of last year, the
Municipal loan of 2,5OO,O0O pesetas
has been concluded; sugar COM
pany with capital of 2.OOO,O0O and
the Mercantil Bank with 5000, ,O00
pesetas have been organized, besides
many other associations of all kinds,
making a total of from 50 to 40 mi
lion pesetas. For many years a
similar revival of business had not
been seen.

Dear Sir:


The political situation has moi
changed. The opposition is making
useless fight as it is without either
authority or a determined platform
and the Government is also in a
bad position owing to its parsimony
in undertaking works of national
interest. In word, the country is
better than its politicians whose
mistaken system has ruined the co.
untry for years to come and they are
now too old to be Of any service in
promoting the welfare of the people.

The rapid growth of our business
with Japan in rails and machinery
during the past four years is an in
dication of what may be accomplished
in that quarter in the future under
proper encouragement. Four wears
l ago American rails were unknown in
Japan. but at the present they more
than double in quantity the rails
which come from England. which up
to 1896 constituted the chief source
of supply. 1t is believed that Amer
leans have it in their power to prac-
tically control the supply of rails and
railroad material generally with
Japan during the next decade. As
an indication, it is cited that the
carnegie company signed a contract
at Kobe for 5000 tons of rails ot n
price of s3,2S per ton under the low
est English bid. The men who man,.
ufacture these rails contribute to tbe
well being of the farmers whose sun.

can hardly be understood by the Ia
dies of this state. He said to the An

ming: 1.-The women's vote is the cas-
lest thing to keep and the easiest thing
to manipulate of any element in poll
tics" 1t is for the women voters in
Wyoming to say whether this opinion
of Thompson's is the truth or wheth-
err it is a SANDER. Is his going over
the state now for the purpose of man
ipulating the vote of the wives and
mothers Of Wyoming? Is it possible
that his estimate of the female vote
of this state is correct?
