WRITE
THE OPENING UP
OF China Hay Lead to Domino
ton By Yellow Race.

From the Philadelphia Times.
Let US take a look at China.
Her area is 4,46S.75 square miles,
or rather more than one twelfth of the
whole land surface of the globe.
Her population IS given in round
figures at 4OO,OOO,0O0. If we add the
population of the North and South
Atlantic continents, white, red, black
and brown, to that of Great Britain.
France, Germany, Austria, Turkey,
Italy, Norway, Sweden, Spain, Greece
and Denmark we still have place for
the 100000 people of Australia and
New Zealand before a sum is reached
equaling this vast nation.
1t is true that some parts of China
are vastly overpopulated, but this by
no means is true of it all. With three
times the area of British India, China
has less than twice as many people.
With a population per square mile
equaling that of India, China would
contain over 700,O0O,O00 souls. Yet in
India there are vast juugles and unoc-
cupied lands. If it were possible to
conceive of China being populated on
the same scale of density as England
| - 81, 900, 900 to $1,000 square miles
the population of that country would
number 2, $50, 900, 900, or nearly double
the present estimated population OF
the whole world.
Should the country be opened ur
with railroads the present population
would undoubtedly vastly increase, but
apart from this the opening up of the
country could easily result in ways I'm
thought Of at this time. Equipped
with means of intertransit and the
modern armament and methods of wal
las is the wish of the Caucasian so t
equip her-and her present population
informed as to their strength and re
sources, she could realize her power
put fourth the energy of her countless
millions, and burst like an avalanche
upon Europe and engulf it.
Then the yellow, not the white, race
would reign.
The partitioning of China would per
haps lessen the yellow danger, but b,
embroiling the white nations it coulC
bring it nearer. No Monroe doctrine
could save us then.
And yet this is the country and pee
pie that the administration is using a
political plaything.

CONDITION OF COTTON CROP
AyERAGEISLOWER THAN FOR
ANY JULY ON RECORD.
Ir Georgia, Alabama and Missls-
sippi the Condition Is Lower
Than for "a Years.
In Georgia, Alabama and Missis'
Than for 81 Years.

The monthly report of the statlstl-
Gin, Of the department of agriculture
at Washington shows the average con-
dit;on of cotton on July 1st to have
baan 758. as compared with S2.2 last
month. 878 on July lst, 1899, 9l'2 at
the corresponding date in. 1898, ana a
ten-year average OF o1.9.
The condition in the principal states
is renorted as follows North Carolina
80 South Carolina 10, Georgia "a, Ala
hama TO- Florida IS, Mississippi "a,
Louisiana 81, Texas Is, Arkansas 49,
Tennessee 76, Oklahoma 81, Indian
Territory &C.
While there was some Improvement
during June in North Carolina, Texas,
Oklahoma and Indian Territory, which
amounted to three, seven, seven ana
twelve points respectively, there was
a decline of six points in South Carroll
ma, seven ia Louisiana, ten IN Iennes-
see. thirteen in Arkansas, fifteen IN
Georgia, seventeen in Alabama and
twenty-one in Mississippi. With the
exception of North Carolina, where the
average condition on July lst was two
noints above the mean of the July av-
eraoes in that state for the last ten
wears, and Indian Territory, where the
figures available for comparison cover
only three years, the condition through
the entire cotton belt compares unfa-
vorably with the ten-year averages,
Louisiana being seven, South Carolina
and Tennessee ten, Arkansas eleven,
Tennessee twelve, Georgia thirteen.
Alabama eighteen and Mississippi
twenty-four points below their respec-
tive ten-year averages
Not only was the condition on July
1st for the cotton region as a whole the
lowest July condition on record, but IN
Georgia, Florida, Alabama and Missis-
sippi it was the lowest in the entire
period of thirty-fOur years for which
records are available, while in Tennes-
see it was the lowest with one excep-
ton, and in South Carolina, Texas and
Arkansas the lowest with two eXcep-
tions in the same period of thirty-four
years.
Excessive rains, drowning out OF the
crops, followed by an extraordinary
growth of grass and weeds, are report
ed from almost every state, and The
gravity of the situation is greatly IN
creased by the general scarcity of la
Dor. In South Carolina, Georgia, Ala
bama, Florida, Louisiana and Texas
considerable areas will have to bt
abandoned.

SHE ORDERS HIS CLOTHES.
and Takes Great f'nins TO Have Her
Husband Properly Dressed.

And Takes Great Pains TO Have Her
Husband Properly Dressed.
The wife of a man who served with
distinction as q cabinet officer during
a recent administration entered tailor
shop near Fifth avenue a week ago
and said to the proprietor:
81 am Mrs So-and-so, and l don't sup
pose that women come into your shop
very often"
"A good many women help their bus,
bands to select their clothes" said the
proprietor.
"Well l am glad to hear that" said
the woman. ~ have bought my bus
bands clothes for him ever since we
were married. and if did not look out
for them he would not have any
clothes. He never thinks of them.
Didn't even when he was in Washing
ton, though he was always properly
dressed. Now l want some spring
clothes for my husband. I will select
the samples for three suits, and Will
tell you just how to make them. When
nv husband comes to get measured
don't pay any attention to bis ORDERS
about the clothes if he gives any. II
he ordered his own clothes, he would
not be suited anyway"
The proprietor found that this wo
man knew as much as the average
man about mems clothes. and he ac
cepted her directions. On the follow
ing day, when her husband came IN
the proprietor recognized him from MS
pictures and said:
"Mr. So-and-so, your wife selected
goods for three suits Of clothes for yot
| Yesterday, and if you will step back
will show you the patterns"
Young man." said the ex-cablne
officer. 81 would not dare to interfere
with my wife's selections. Just taS'
nv measure as quickly as you can ah'
make the clothes as directed"
After the measurements had peer
made the ex-cabinet minister hurried
out without asking what style or SUIT
had been ordered for him.-New 1ori
