AWAKENING
OF THE CHINESE

Pekin, Sept. 28.-The Chinese have
| recently established school of polit
ical economy, which has been called
the school of learning The Chinese
show activity in all educational
schemes, especially those relating to
industry, and are clearly bent on self
management and the execution of
their own regeneration.
Ii Hung Chang has about recovered
his normal health. He has resumed
his administration of provincial and
other affairs and yesterday he sent a
representative to inspect the railway
by which the court will return to Lu-
kOachoa, from which place chairs and
carts will be used to bring the en-
peror and dowager empress and their
retinue to the west gate of Pekin. Ii
Hung Chang says that the court will
| arrive on the Chinese new years day
which falls in March
The barracks for about half of the
men who will guard the railway be-
tween Pekin and Tientsin will not be
finished before winter. The English

buildings. The Germans, who will re-
tain eight men as guards, will have
portable buildings.
The postoffice system of the foreign
ers, especially the Germans, is rivaling
the Chinese imperial post system and
means are being considered for ex-
tending the latter. 1t has been sug-
gested that the Chinese undersell the
foreigners and reserve for the exclu-
sive use of the Chinese imperial mails
the steamships subsidized by the gov
eminent. Recently these vessels have
been allowed to carry the mails Of the
foreign postoffices established here.
Sir Robert Hart, imperial commits
sioner of maritime customs, has again
asked authority for absorbing native
customs after November Z, which the
Chinese say is the beginning of new
year, from which time the accumula-
lions Of money for the first payment of
interest on the indemnity are to be-
gin. About thirty ports are involved.

After the reading Judge Day and Mr..

LAND OF FLOWERS.

Japanese jealous of the Dignity of
Floral Favorites.
With the beauties of his countries
fresh in his memory, and coming from
land where the arrangement Of
flowers is part of the education, it
must be something of shock to the
japanese visiting this country to hear
the prosaic names we bestow on our
chrysanthemums.
He appreciates that as nation we
are much less fond Of flowers than are
his people, and how little they mean
to us in life beyond the pleasing SEN
sations produced by their beauty In
Japan the arrangement Of them is pu---
sued as an art, being profoundly stu
died by men Of rank, philosophers and
priests, besides learned and literary
men. aides of the aristocracy are al
lowed to practice the art as being
likely to inspire such estimable virtues
as gentleness, self-denial, forgetfulness
of care and spirituality. A lifetime is
indeed not too long for the japanese,
either man or woman, to devote to an
of the subtle meaning
conveyed by flowers, and the rigorous
rules necessary to observe in produc-
ing with them the best artistic results.

WAR NOT
YET OVER

London, Sept. 2S.-According to
General Wesley Merritt the war in the
Philippines is far from over. The
American commander recently re-
ceived long communication from a
staff officer in the islands. General
Merritt said:
THE present situation is source
Of great anxiety to the authorities in
the field. There is a strong feeling
among them that the real facts in the
case have been kept back by the
Washington government.
"The United States is in possession
of rich but small area of the whole
territory. The insurgents are likely
to maintain guerrilla fighting for an
indefinite period, thus seriously retard-
ing the final conquest of the islands.
The enemy is Matchmaking the native
towns and villages without difficulty,
obtaining all necessary supplies,
since a native can live on a handful
of rice day.
DOUBTLESS the American people will
be sorry to be assured that a perma-
nent army of 10000 soldiers will be
required to hold the Philippines, but
conservative officers on the spot are
convinced that this view of the situa-
ton is correct.
'In the opinion of my correspondent
the policy of civil government for the
islands is an absolute mistake. The
Filipinos are thoroughly dishonest and
unreliable, according to his view, be-
lieving with a celebrated diplomat
that language was given to conceal
thought, so that it is impossible to
place the slightest reliance on their
promises.
''The idea of appointing such men
to official positions he thinks dis
tinctly foolish, since it only serves to
impress the natives with the belief
that the United States is weakening
and inclines them to show their teeth
accordingly"
