The second purpose may not even be
realized by the governing powers, but
Il is potent factor In German COM
mercial thought.
II is this which makes the Chinese
situation so all important TO us with
the immense manufacturing strides
that we are making at present, the
trade with the orient is all important
to us. In open competition We can out
strip our competitors. our cottons. our
woolens, our flour, our oil, our watches
and clocks, our agricultural imple-
ments stand unrivalled. and the fig
ures of our growing oriental trade
show how these goods have been APP
preciated. But it would be a serious
blow to our prosperity to suddenly find
that vast areas of what is now. or has
been up to the present, an open mar
ket, closed against us.
We have great prosperity. We find
our prosperity in giving good wages
to our laboring classes, a well fed, well
paid man is a better workman, be-
his congener who is paid starvation
WAGES and works like an automaton.
We see other less happy countries
suffering in the race of material pro-
gress. We want to do all in our power
to protect our Industries, and give
them an ample market This brings us
into intimate contact with the rest of
the world and We have to let the world
know that we intend to hold our own.
If there is to be any partition of Chi
ma, the United States must have a very
strong word to say in the matter.
The United States wants no Terri
tory in China, it seeks to garrison no
fortified harbors. But it wants peace
IN China, and the ability for it's mer-
chants to trade in every part of the
empire, unmolested. With other coun-
tries jealous of her prestige, with other
countries feeling a coming commercial
depression, we will need the skin of
our ablest to protect ourselves. Thank
goodness among McKinley's advisers
are the ablest men of the age.

Having reached these Islands sur
reptitiously, the San Francisco leper
Pratt finds some difficulty in getting re-
turned whence he came. The steamship
company was quite willing to make ar
rangements to ship him back in the
no de Janeiro, but the passengers had
big kick coming, and it was deemed
advisable not to take the unfortunate
man on board. When the China re-
turns she will have to take Pratt,
whether she wants to or not, and it is
probable that the doctors upon the
steamships will employ a little more
vigilance in the future over those who
take passage on their vessels.
But this is by no means the end of
the incident. There is much light
which is needed. Pratt may be the
prevaricatOr that some claim, and UNI
doubleday he has given cause for such
an opinion, but there is also every rea-
son to think that he was sent as a
sort of feeler, to see what our health
authorities would do. Had the Health
authorities shown themselves in the
least degree vacillating, there would
have been an inroad of leprous patients
from California and in all probability
from other parts of the mainland as
well. However the firm front shown
will have a very Statutory effect
That there is an idea of using Molo-
kai as dumping ground for lepers from
the mainland is a fact. Suggestions in
this direction have appeared in the
Coast press and even in papers farther
East 1t is a fact that one member of
Congress at least promised his consti-
tuents that he would get lepers re-
moved from the mainland and placed
on MOlokai We have every reason,
then, to be both careful and Vigilant.
We not only want to keep any adven-
turous lepers out of the Territory, but
we want to meet anv legislative ac-
ton which may be sprung upon us.
We don't want to have the name of
the Lazaretto of the Pacific. 1t is
bad enough for us, and expensive
enough, to attend to our own patients
and sufferers, we surely do not need
any addition to our cares.
The matter of a leper coming down
from San Francisco is not as simple
as it looks, and it behoOves us to take
the greatest care, and at the same time
the keenest forsvision, in order to save
our good name from obloquy and our
Territory having a most disagreed BILE

AN UNFORTUNATE CONSIGNMENT

A serious circumstance with regard
to American double barrelled breach
loading shot guns came under the notice
of Consul Marshal Halstead last month.
whole shipment of these guns haV-
ing been offered at Birmingham for
proof all either burst or bulged. The
matter was so important that Consul
Halstead investigated and found there
We're certain legal requirements which
the American manufacturers were not
complying with.
1t is a legal requirement that guns,
before they are sold or used in Great
Britain, shall have withstood two pres
cribed tests of strength. This affects
double shotguns only. The British
maker before putting shotgun barrels
together sends them to the proof house.
where they are subjected to a very Sc
we're explosive test, and if they with
stand this, the maker may feel assured
his material is all right; each barrel
having received the proof-house mark
to indicate that it has withstood the
preliminary Called professionally or
severer test. When gun barrels have
been finished and the action attached
(of course, in the finishing process the
size of each barrel has been lessened
and its strength reduced corresponding
ly), a final test is made which is not so
severe as the first, and each barrel and
the action then receive the final or de
ables the manufacturer to sell the arm,
and the purchaser to use it anywhere
in Great Britain.
In Germany and Belgium similar
tests are used and guns so marked are
saleabe in England without any addi-
tional test. In the United States, there
are no corresponding legal test require
ments, and the result is, that guns ship
ed to Great Britain in their finished,
and therefore weakened, state must re-
ceive, in accordance with the law, the
severe primary test as well as the final
test. American rifle, pistol, and many
single breech-loading shot barrels, even
in the finished state, are still so strong
they pass the great ordeal; but 1t Is al
most impossible for any finished double
shotgun barrel of ordinary weight
wherever made, to stand the primary
test which must be given.
Mr.. Halstead points out that it is not
discrimination against the American
gun, nor is 1t any inherent fault IN
American manufacture. but that the
fault lies in not having the prelimi-
nary test. This 1t Is impossible to do as
there are no governmental American
gun-proof tests. This may lead to leg
islation and the establishment OF such
places. II this were 30 the cheap and
dangerous gun Of the mainland would

thing of beauty and feature that will
long be remembered. The arena scene
will contain living animals. and will reach
the height of realism.
The play is not one to make the spectator
laugh as IL is devoid of comedy, but
rather play to make people think, show
ing as 1t does the downfall of Paganism,
the uprising of the cross and the triumph
of the Nazarine over the proud and vol
uptuous Caesars The character of Nero
will be played by Mr.. Lincoln Plummer,
an actor whose splendid voice and fine
physique fit him expressly for this great
