THE STORM CENTER IN ASIA.

The dark clouds over eastern Asia
are becoming more ominous daily.
There can hardly be any doubt now
that an the foreigners at Pekln. in
Guiding the Americans, have perished
in their vain struggle against over
whelmIug numbers. The rumor also
seems confirmed that the Emperor has
been murdered and that the govern
ment is ln the hands Of Prince Tuan,
who o. said 90 be a most fanatlcal op-
p0nent OF foreign influences.
The poisoning Of the Empress Dowager
would seem 90 indicate that the trouble
IS rebellion. for which the recognized
government was not responsible But
O. short time ago this Prince Tuan was
made president OF the Tsung-l- Yamen,
Instead Of Prince Ching. II was well
known 20 the Empress that Prince Tuan
IS o representative OF the reactIonary
interests That he was promoted TO
the presidency Of that body will be
regarded as an evidence that the En-
press herself was. IN part at least, In

But whether the government Is. or
is not responsible for the massacres.
The fact remains that the world IL now
facing a crisis the outcome Of which
no statesman can foretell Neither this
country. nor any OF the interested
European countries can shirk the re-
spous.1IIity which the murder OF
their official representatives has placed
upon them. The destruction Of the
Maine 30 O. Cuban harbor was no more
das.ardly than the assassination and

WESTERN EXPANSION

The expansion Of this country west
ward during the century that Is now
rapidly passing away Is nothing short
Of marvellous. It has often been the
theme lately Of writers Tor magazines
and newspapers, suggested by the fact
that this is census year.
During the last year Of President John
Adams. there were but two States,
Kentucky and Tennessee, west Of the
Alleghanles. They had $4,000 lnhablt-
ants. Now there are twenty-elght
states In the West. with 45.OOO,OO0, not
counting the Indians. The West has
grown. It appears more than the East.
for Notwithstanding the immense addi-
ton 70 the population Of the Eastern
States. not far from two-thlrds OF the
entire population now live on the west
ern side Of the Alleghaules.
But this expansion viii continue The
West has only commenced TO give the
world a faint idea Of lts possibilities.
with the Increase In population, and the
increased knowledge OF the secret COM
bnations by which nature guards her
most choice treasures. this country viii
become the granary Of the world, the
Egypt Of modern times. There is no
reason why. In the next century, the
West should not become the center OF
the commerce, the wealth and the arts
and sciences Of the world The center
Of grayltatlon IL perceptlbly shifting
from Europe. and when the Pacific be-
comes what the Atlantic is today. this
region will naturally be one OF the most
important stations on the high road be-
tween the ola and the new world.
