THE PACE THAT KILLS.
Dangers Incurred by College Wen in
Aquatic Contests.

From the Springfield Republican,
A big boat race like that at New London
yesterday is generally accompanied by the
physical collapse OF some member of the
rival crews. This time it was Harding OF
Harvard. These four-mile aquatic events
must be regarded as the most question
able on the list of college sports because
Of the terrific strain they impose Upon
the physiGues OF the contestants. The
effect upon the heart is liable to be very
harmful. One of the magazines is soon to
print an article by an expert, in which he
traces the career of old college oarsmen
who have reached middle life: it will be
surprising il his report does not show
tendency to impaired vitality on their part.
A few weeks ago the great Yale coach
in boating, prior to Robert ]. Cook. died
( consumption in New York. and he had
scarcely passed the central period OF life.
We know of another fine oarsmsn who is
now fighting consumption in the West.
and he is not yet fifty. few years ago
a former Yale crew man said privately that
the public would be surprised 10 learn
the exact facts as 20 the after condition
Of many of these college athletes. Those
concerned in college sports ought 10 find

Ancient Paper Making.
(From the Chicago Chrnicle.)

Paper making is a very old industry in India.
In the wear 1873 the attention of the English
Government was called to the remarkable quality
OF the paper made in the State OF Nepal The
fibre Of this paper was tough that a sheet
doubled ON itself could scarcely be torn with the
fingers The paper was so pliable and Durable
that il did not wear at the folds during twenty
years. whereas EnngliSh paper. especially when
eight or ten sheets were folded up in packet
could not stand keeping in this state uninIured
than four five years. copy o. San
skirt work, though $50 years old, was in perfect
preservation. having all that time wthstood the
rsyages OF insects and the wear and tear OF use.

Thc DipIomntic Qucstion I'M Chin

n.
There is only too much reason to credit
the Chinese story of the butchery of our
own and other civilized people in Pekin
The latest dispatches this morning may or
may not corroborate it, but it is probably
true. iIasmuch as it rests upon num-
Der of statements made by natives who
have escaped from the capital, and as they
all essentially agree.
Hideous as the cause may be, its eff
feet is distinctly to draw the civilized pow
ers together and to make them forget their
individual feelings, ambitions, and jeal-
ousies. in the face of a diabolical assault
upon all. From this point of view We are
satisfied that the position of the United
States, notified to the powers that this
country will aid in restoring order and in
protecting American citizens and then re-
tire, will be productive of good results.
1t will offer a rallying point around which
all the States interested may gather in
honest and fraternal determination to
avenge the outrage upon humanity which
was perpetrated in Pekin, and to adopt
such joint measures on the Chinese main
land as may forever prevent the recur-
renee of recent conditions and crimes.
There is no doubt that our State Depart
ment is in active correspondence with the
Foreign Office of Europe and Japan. with
q view to common action In regard to the
situation 1t will be drastic The whole
civilized world is involved in the necessity
fer giving the brutal Chinese lesson that
they will never forget. The initiative of
our State Department may lead to an in
ternationai agreement to keep China open
to all, under joint control. The butchery

A FORECAST.
The Railroad News and Great
Probabilities of Good Times.

Probabilities of Good Times.
We note by the press that Senator
Clark and associates have commenced
work on the short line between Salt
hake and Los Angeles by starting at
Los Angeles to build to San Barnidino.
Conservative railroad men high In
station and worthy Of belief have said
that should the Clark road be built, the
Southern Pacific would be compelled
to meet the move by building a short
line practically between the same points
to shut off dangerous competition. We
are also advised by the press, inter-
view with Mr. II. E. Huntington, that
such short line construction is in abey-
ance. This Is an admission that the
road will be built. If press reports are
true 1t Is in abeyance because the new
management would like to declare a
dividend on Southern Pacific. Mr.. C.
P. Huntington did not think dividend
could be paid until 1902 or 1908.
The great foresight Of that great flnan-
cier was remarkable inasmuch as 1t
was generally correct. The prosperity
of the country for the last four years
has caused on labor larger demand
than can be supplied, and under such
conditions delays must result What
ever the cause of delay 1t is certain
there is delay. In the course Of events
the Southern Pacific will build short
line and took initial steps when It ac-
qured the Carson & Colorado. When
the short line Is built the indications
are, and those high in authority have
said, 1t W Il make connection with the
main line few miles east Of Wads-
worth. With this construction work
in view and the straightening Of the
main line almost at hand, we cannot
see how Wadsworth can avoid the good
times coming. We should be happy
and give thanks while getting ready for
"msry Christmas"
