The conclusion of the paper is Indicative
of the whole.
In the meantime" says Minister VIZ.
China observes with interest that the
painting of the stars and stripes in the
irhilippine Islands will make the United
States her neighbor in the future as She
has been her friend In the past. Ii is her
earnest hope that the United States will
make no attempt to bar Asiatics from her
new shores, but that she Will seize this
opportunity to strengthen friendly relations
OF mutual helpfulness between the two
countries. No other nation has a stronger
claim to the confidence of China than has
lae Ohloed states. The very first article
OF the nrst treaty concluded between the
TWO nations provides that there shall be
peace and friendship between them and be-
tween their people.
Through a half century of intercourse
no untoward circumstance has Interrupted
those am1cable relations. More than once
the United States government has used its
good offices to promote Cn.nasa interests
ana welfare. Nations, like individuals, ap-
preciate favors. and. like them Also resent
indignities. The sentiment of good will
entertained by the government and people
of China toward the government and peo-
pie OF the United States Is strong and pro-
found because of the long, unbenishcd
past, but underneath 1t all there is l am
sorry to say, a natural feeling of disap-
pointment and irritation that the people of
the United States deal now less literally
with the Chinese than with the rest of the
world.
IF the best guarantee Of friendship IS
self-interest. surely the friendship Of a ma
ton of 400,0OO,O0O people ought to be worth
cultivating. China does not ask for much.
She has no thought of territorial aggran-
dizement. of self-glorifcation in any form.
All she wants is gentle peace. sweet friend
ship, helpful exchange Of benefits and the
generous application of that golden rule
which people of all nations and all creeds
should delight to follow"

ume OF about 7o0 pages, with many dia-
grams and illustrations. Pictures are in

aeronauts and a naval lieutenant. He ex-

The balloon, which is decorated with the
tri-color. carries accumulators for electric
signal lamps and an electric pump to draw
up sea water for ballast whenever neces-
sary, by tubes immersed in the sea. Count
de la Vaulx intends to keep about 40 feet
above the water.
Count Henri de la Vaulx's proposed route
from Les Sablettes to Algiers is 49S miles
long. This Is less than half the distance
covered by him last year, when he went
from Paris to Riev, Russia, in thirty-six
hours without a break.
His trip this time. according TO plans an
nounced some time ago. was to be a combl-
nation Of aerial and marine navigation. for
his balloon was equipped with steering ap-
paratus floating on or submerged in the
water.
The balloon by night was to show an
electric light visible ten miles of. In case
the aeronaut required assistance this light
was to be Intermittent. The basket of the
balloon Is constructed so as to float like q
lifeboat and can be detached from the ball
loon in moment. The balloon is of the old
fashioned spherical shape.

Men are being sandbageed and robbed
In board daylight, when caught In lonely
places. Sluicebox robberies are frequent
and several miners have been relieved of
from $500 to $1,000. Business houses have
been robbed and even women walking In

September 26 and continued for three days
with increasing fury. As a result every

the government tug Captain Warden are
ashore. While the storm was almost as
severe as the memorable visitation of last
year, the most serious damage will result
from the delay in getting lighters afioat

In time for the vessels to get out before

Subjects.

MINISTER WI CONTRIBUTES

Advance copies have appeared of the an
nual report of the Smithsonian Institution
for the year 1900. AS the period covered
in the report marks the close of the cen
tury. considerable space has been given to
reviews of the progress in various branches
Of science during the past one hundred
their various fields. The fields of science
thus reviewed are astronomy, chemistry,
geology, physics, electricity. geography, BIZ
oiogy. medicine, psychical research and the
contury's great men of science. Aeronaut-
les. which only in the last decade has been
growing to be considered a science, has
several articles from the pens of M. JAMS
sen, Lord Rayleigh, Secretary Langley and
others. China is given special prominence.
among the half dozen articles relating to
that kingdom being one by the Chinese
minister-"Mutual Helpfulness Between
China and the United States Thirty or
more other articles are comprehended in the
appendix, of which may be mentioned as
indicating the variety of subjects treated a
paper on the transmission of yellow fever
by Surgeon General Sternberg, essay
on Huxley by Professor Brooks of JohnS
Hopkins, and paper on incandescent man
ties.
Minutes on the proceedings Of the board
of regents, at the last meeting of that
body-January "A, 1900-the report to the
board submitted by Professor IS. p. Lang
ley as secretary of the institution, and re-
ports on the National Museum, Bureau of
American Ethnology, Bureau Of Interna-
tional Exchanges. National Geological Park,
AStrophySical Observatory and other sub
ordinate bureaus, precede the general ap-
pendix of popular papers above indicated.
