ENGLAND AND THE sHIP-sUBsIDY
RIEI,.

The impression is conveyed by Wash
ington dispatches that there is not much
probability that the Senate will pass the
ship-subsidy bll unless England approves
the amendments which that body made
to the Hay Pauncefote treaty. In other
words, it is in the power of the English
government to prevent the passage of the
ship-subsidy bill
The situation seems to be about this:
Many of the opponents of the ship-sub-
sidy bill are ready to withdraw their OPP
position to that measure provided it's
friends are willing to assist in passing
the Nicaragua canal bill. The friends of
the ship-subsidy bill in the Senate are,
as a rule, friends of the administration.
The administration is opposed to passing
the Nicaragua canal bill until Engand's
objections to the building of the canal in
accordance with the provisions of that
bill are removed. The purpose of the
Hay-Pauncefote treaty is to remove Eng
lands objections. That treaty abrogates
the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, which is still
in force, and which binds this country to
consult Englands wishes before under
taking to construct an isthmian canal
! If, therefore, England agrees to the
| Hay Pauncefote treaty in its amended
! form, it is thought to be probable that
both the ship-subsidy bill and the Mic
aragua canal bill will be passed by the
! Senate without any further delay. There
Is no reason to think that England would
withhold her approval of the Hay
Pauncefote treaty in order TO prevent the
passage of the ship-subsidy bill. 1t is
true that it is not to her interest that
this country shall increase her ship-build-
ing facilities, but she is wise enough prob
ably to see that American sh,pbuilding
interests are more likely to be hurt by
subsidies than helped. If she refuses to
approve the amended Hay-Pauncefote
treaty it will be because she is opposed
to the United States having certain rights
in respect to the Nicaragua canal which
they are claiming.
The impression in Washington, however.
seems to be that she is going to approve
the amended treaty. If she does then
both the ship-subsidy bill and the Nicara-
gua-canal bill are likely to pass the Sem
ate Immediately thereafter.
In that event. however, the Nicaragua
canal bill would be in a better position
than the ship-subsidy bill, because the
former bill has already passed the House
while the ship-subsidy bill has passed
neither branch of Congress. But Senator
Hanna is quoted as saying that If the
ship-subsdy bill is passed by the Senate
it will not take more than three days to
get it through the House May 1t not be
that the Senator is little too sanguine
as to his power In the House?

STARVING CHINA.

The reports that in some parts Of China
the people are actually starving appear
to be well authenticated. The situation in
the provinces of Shensi and shansi is es-
pecially bad. There the famine is so Sc
we're that cannibalism is practiced.
In Shansi there is a popula ton of about
100000 and I'm Shensi of about 1900 900.
The Empress Dowager and the Emperor
are in Shensi, and with them are all the
members of the government and an army
of about 10000 men. 1t is a difficult mat
ter to find sufficient food for the members
OF the government and the army.
The crops have failed for three years
in succession, the failure for the last year
being almost total. 1t is stated that the
people have consumed most of their cat
tie used for working their little farms in
trying to keep from starving to death and
that they are gradually burning their
houses in their efforts to keep from freez-
| ing, the winter being of unusual severity.
| The appearance of the people is re-
! ported to be simply appalling. Thousands
| of them are too weak to make an effort to
sustain life, and consequently the death
rate is unprecedentedly large. Men sell
wives and children in order to get means
to keep other members of the families
alive, and it is common occurrence for
parents to kill their children rather than
to see them die slowly from starvation
No doubt an appeal will soon be made
to Christian nations for aid. If conditions
are as bad as reported there is need of
help at once. And yet it does not APP
pear that any progress is being made by
the Powers toward bringing the trouble
with China to an end. They are permit
ting negotiations to drag along as if it
made no difference whether they got out
OF China this year or ten years hence.
And all the while. not far from China's
capital a great tragedy is being enacted.
Thousands of people are actually dying
for the want of sufficient food to sustain
life.

A LITTLE DAYLIGHT.

The first ray of light in the otherwise
gloomy Philippine situation is that which
comes from The Island of Anndoro. Ac-
cording to Manila dispatches published
yesterday the natives of that island have
risen against the insurgents and kiHed
the insurgent governor. That would seem
to Indicate that the people of Mindoro are
so well satisfied with American rule that
they are ready to fight for it.
If some of the other islands will follow
The example of Mndoro it may not be
very long before the insurrection viii be
ended. Gen. OILS reported 1t practically
ended before he left the Philippines, but
ii turned out that he was not well in
formed. If Gen. Macarthur can get ma
lives to make stand against the in
sursents his work of pacifying the islands
viii be virtually ended.
1t is also worthy of notice that in
Bataan the natives have taken sides
against the insurgents in sufficient num-
bers to justify the conclusion that the in
surrection in that province is so lacking
in vitality as to be of little consequence
popular with the people of this country
he has but to send reports frequently in
dicating that the Fihpinos are showing a
disposition to assist the Americans in
pacifying the islands.
Whatever the opinions of the people of
the United States may be as to the policy
that should be pursued in respect to the
islands, there is no doubt of their desire
that the war in the Philippines shall come
to a speedy end. They want the sacrifice
of life and the expenditure of money to
stop. The question as to whether the
Islands are to have their independence or
are to be held as colonies can be fought
out in Congress just as well with peace
prevailing in the islands as with war. In
fact it is probable that more acceptable
conclusion is likely to be reached if peace
prevails while the question is pending than
II the war is continued.

WHICH IS THE BErTERs

The proposed paving of parts of Thirty
eighth and Jefferson streets is for the
purpose of providing hardened roadways
for the fire apparatus that is to be placed
in the new engine house at the corner of
Thirty-eighth and Barnard streets. IL is
good idea, of course, to provide I'M
proved connection between the fire sta
ton and the paved streets. in order to
facilitate the movement of the apparatus
in response TO alarms. when minutes
count. But a question that should be con-
sidered in respect TO the paving proposed
is this: Could not the same end be ac,
complished and more roadway be paved,
at no greater expense by a change OF
the plan?
For instance, Thirty-seventh street is
to be parked through the center. Taking
into consideration the area that will be
thus deducted from the width of street
to be paved the cost of improving, it
would be little IL any greater than the
cost of paving Thrty-eighth street. Fur
thermore. Thirty-sevehth street is con-
tinuous on one line. while Thrty-eighth
street is not.
There is another argument in favor of
Thirty-seventh over Thirty-eghth. 1t
may not be considered good one by some
persons. but 1t is worthy of attention.
1t is that the property on that part Of
Thirty-eighth street which it is proposed
to pave is owned by people who are pay
ing for It in loan companies, and who are
lily able to stand a paving assessment.
And then as TO Barnard Street, versus
Jefferson: The former is street that Is
being rapidly built up with tine resi-
dences. A good pavement would make II
a very handsome thoroughfare If the
area occupied by the railway tracks were
left out and the roadways on either side
paved that paving would be no more ex-
pensive than the paving. of jefferson
street. The space occupied by the car
tracks could be Grassed over; indeed, il
would perform that service for itself with
a very little assistance. And that would
make the street more attractive. Aber-
corn street might well be improved in the
same manner.
The paving Of streets r a matter that
should be considered from broad view
point looking to the paving of all Of them
within the next ten years.

nEspoNpENcY IN ENGLAND.

/ Tho Respondent tone OF the English press
! is beginning to attract attention and ex-
cite comment 1t might be supposed
from what many of their leading papers
are saying that the people of England
! think the empire has reached the limit of
its power and greatness. If in fact il
has not already begun 10 decline.
II may be that this tone of the news
papers is due to the feeling of sadness
that has naturally followed the death OF
the Queen. Besides, her reign was an
exceptionally splendid one, and English
men accustomed to look into the future
cannot see how it can be equa.ed.
1t is true there are no visible signs of
decay, end the people on the extremities
OF the empire seem to be as loyal now
as they have been at any time In the
past The nations army and navy are as
strong as ever and there does not appear
10 be any lack of patriotism. The new
King is popular and it is believed that
he wiz make an acceptable and able ruler.
Nevertheless there is a feeling of de-
pression--an apprehension that the future
of the empire will not be as glorious as
it was during the Victorian reign.
1t may be that the feeling is due largely
to the enormous cost of the South African
war and the doubt there exists as to the
outcome of that war. Besides, large
percentage OF the British people believe
the war is an unjust one, and that it is
going to cause the nation a vast amount
OF additional trouble before it is ended.
Perhaps the things that causes the Eng
lish PEOPLE the most apprehension is the
extraordinary commercial competition OF
the United States. They have reason to
fear that their commercial and financial
supremacy is passing to the United
States. The growth of the exports of
this country in the last year or two has
been something enormous, and England
has been its largest customer.
How long can England stand the COM
petition in industrial production which
the United States are forcing upon her?
That is a question which is making Eng
lishmen uneasy. If the United States
undersell her in the markets of the world
the foundations of her empire will cease
TO be safe.
