The Midland Railway Company Of
England has administered cold
iouche to our pride Of industrial con-
huest by announcing that the Ameri-
Fan locomotives tested by the road
have cost from 20 to 25 per cent more
than the British in fuel. so per cent
more In OH, and 60 per cent more in
REPAIRS. Against these fatal defects
are to be counted only the trifling or
Bets that the American locomotives
were delivered in few months in
stead of in three years and that their
price was less than that Of the Brit
fish by $1,000 apiece. 1t is explained
that in American railroad practice en-
{gines are made to be worked to death
and thrown on the scrap heap. Eng
Dish locomotives are expected to become
lheirlooms. But there is probably
something more than that behind the
|Midland's figures. In all neutral mar
kets the American machines give per-
feet satisfaction and are crowding the
English out. That is the case even
on the state railroads of British colo
MES. Before our manufacturers ad-
init that their products are failures
on English roads they would probably
like to see them tested by American
engineers and firemen.

Pope Leo a che.. Player.

Pope Leo XIII. finds his chief recre
alton in the game of chess, and he is
said to be one of the best players in
all Europe. A Roman priest, Father
Guila. has the honor OF being his
usual fellow player, and he has full
filled this high function for thirty-flve
years, or since long before vicenzo
Gioacchino Pecci became Leo XIII.
When the cardinal mounted the pom.
tiflcal throne Father Guila was in
Florence. The new Pope called him
to Rome and even gave him his lodg.
ing in the palace of the vatican. His
skill at chess is marvellous, but he is
credited with strangely irascible
temper. At times when the contest is
going against him he works himself
into terrible passion. On these oc.

Girls can think and study better away

from study the mind must be kept

alone tells against "co-education," and

CHINESE COMMENT ON
AMERICA MARU CASE

The treatment of Japanese lay passen-
gers at Honolulu, to which our Yoko-
hama correspondent refers, does not re-
fleet any credit upon the health officers
at that port. We cannot understand why
Japanese, Chinese or any other Asiatics,
should not be treated with & 4 as much
consideration as European, or do we
see why any special treatluet ihould be
prescribed for cabin as ainguiShed
from Storage passengers. OF course we
could not grumble at little less perfect
accommodation being provided for ster-
age passengers. The mere fact of their
being steerage passengers would make
this just and right. 1t is not to this that
we object What we do say is that any
woman, whatever her nationality, is en-
titled to a certain amount of considera-
ton on account of her sex, and must, at
all costs, be protected from insult We
trust that the whole matter will be we'll
thrashed out by the Japanese authori-
ties, and that If any insults have been
imposed upon the Japanese women pas
sengers, be they steerage or cabin, full
reparation will be demanded. We use
the word women and not ladies, because
the terms are synonymous. As Kiphng
truly says, 1.-THE Colonels lady and Judy
O'Grady are sisters-under their skins, y
and any woman must be protected from
the least suspicion of insult in any
country where the people profess to be
and call themselves civilized.-Hongkong

August 18th
The Japanese Foreign Office has now
intimated that the newspaper reports
regarding the Honolulu scandal are much
exaggerated, though it is quite correct
that the Japanese passengers received
different treatment from that accorded
to Europeans. The authorities further
say that full particulars will be made
public later on. A vernacular journal,
YorodZu, however claims that a member
of its staff was among the passengers
travelling by the America Maru, and
letter written by him confirms in the
main what has been published The jour
nal mentioned contends that it is scarce
ly credible to suppose that ladies would
make such dispositions containing details
of an incident of the most disgraceful
character in the absence of facts. There
have been many instances, it is alleged,
of insults being offered to japanese won-
en- by health officers and other American
officials, but matters have been hushed
up on account of the persons insulted
being of the lower classes. In the pres
ent case, however, ladies of good family

BUSES EARLY START.

In his recently published biography of
Eleonora Duse, Luigi Rasi notes that
although she began her theatrical career
at the age of 4, she was not child
prodigy and did not attract attention
as a promising actress till she was
20. Her father was an obscure actor,
and the family was so poor that once,
when Eleonora's mother was lying in a
hospital, the hungry child used to go
there daily to eat the food which her
mother was too i'll TO take herself.

were concerned, and in consequence
much indignation has been aroused.
The Gazette reports that at a meeting
of the Cabinet Council held Tuesday the
Foreign Minister made a minute report
of the Hawaiian scandal and various
Ministers gave their opinions on the mat
ter. 1t is stated that although the re-
suit of the council is not known, the
Japanese authorities will address the
United States government IN regard to
the alleged ill-treatment of japanese pas
sengerS, in a few days. 1t is also re-
ported that the American Minister in
Tokyo recently sent a long telegram to
the home government relative to the af
fair Hitherto, japanese and Chinese
passengers have been suffering treatment
different from that which is accorded
Europeans and Americans at Honolulu
and other places, owing to racial preju-
dice, and the Japanese government wish
es to effectually remove these discrimina-
tons exercised against the Japanese by
the American authorities.--Y okohama
Advertiser.
In explanation OF the above the Amer
lean chief health officer has written to
the Japanese Consul as follows: THE
incident seems to have been occasioned
by the misunderstanding of my subordi-
mates of instructions. The usual course
of health inspection is to be applied to
japanese and Chinese steerage passen-
gers only. In the recent case however.
l gave instructions to my subordinates
to go through the inspection of cabin
passengers as well, owing to the d.scov-
cry of a suspected case of plague. The
incident must have been caused owing to
the misinterpretation by my subordinates
of my instructions, in the sense that the
same method of inspection should be ap-
piled to the cabin as well as Storage
passengers. The responsibility of the
whole affair rests on us, not on the ships
men. If we committed any fault in the
discharge of our duties we shall offer
an apology to Mr. and Mrs. Okabe and
other passengers
This, 1 think, is scarcely sufficient. E,v-
cry possible precaution should, of course,
be taken to prevent the spread of the
plague, but there can be no excuse for
the gross conduct imputed to the officials
at Honolulu. Also, granting that the
ladies in question were mistaken for
steerage passengers, it is hard to see why
even Storage passengers should be sub
jected to the outrages alleged to have
been committed. 1t is sincerely to be
hoped that the affair will be thoroughly
sifted and the culprits duly punished
