eight gates. Like Picking, the town
possesses a drum tower and a huge
bell. The streets are broad and well
laid out. and the shops are we'll sup
piled with both native and foreign
goods. The population is estimated at
about 100000, including that OF tn
suburbs, the richest and most extern
sive of which are ON the western ara
southern faces of the city. Leaou-
yang, which was once the capital O..
the country, also stands in the PROVING,
of Leaou-tung, but it is not now z
place of much Importance. The pop
ulation of the whole province of Leaou-
tung is estimated to be about Is. 900 900.
The province Of Kirin, or Central
ManchoOria, is bounded on the NORTH
and northwest by the Sungari, on the
south by Leaou-tung and Corea, on the
west by the line of palisades already
spoken of, and on the east by the
Usuri and the maritime Russian prov
inces. 1t contains an area of abou'
1885, 900 square miles, and is entirely
mountainous with the exception of ?
stretch of plain country in its north
western corner. This plain produces
large quantities of indigo and opium

building yards, which, owing to the
abundance and cheapness of wood
have been established there, and from

population of $4,000; Petuna SINCE

of the Sungari and Hurka; La-lin, 120
miles to the north of Kirin, population

principal cities in the province.
Tsi-tsi-har, or Northern Manchooria,
which contains about $4,000 square
miles, is bounded on the north and
northeast by the Amur. on the south
by the Sungari, and on the west by the
Nonni and Mongolia. This province
is thinly populated, and is cultivated
only along the lines of its rivers. The

hope that the United States could be
deceived into regarding Russia's neces-
sary measures in Manchooria as hos
tile to it's interests.
Our State Department promptly de-
MED secret negotiations with any
power regarding China.
By the Chinese Manchooria is called
the country of the Manchows, or Man
chus. an epithet meaning Pure" chos-
en- by the founder of the dynasty
which now rules over Manchooria and
China as an appropriate designation
for his family Manchooria as 1t has
existed for upward of two centuries
that is to say, since it has had an b: y
torical existence-is a tract of country
wedged in between China and Mon
golia on the west and northwest, and
Corea and the Russian territory on the
Amur on the east and north. Speaking
more definitely, it is bounded IN the
north by the Amur, on the east N the
Usuri, on the south by the Gulf of
Leaou-tung, the Yellow Sea, and Corea,
and on the west by the river Nonni and
a line of palisades which stretch from
kwan-chung-tsze to the Great Wall of
China The territory thus defined is
about 500 miles in length and 500 miles
WluIu, anu CONTAINS ABOUT oSU,UUU
square miles. 1t is divided into three
provinces, viz, Tsitsihar Or Northern
Manchooria, Kirin or Central Man
chooria, and Leaou-tung or Southern
Manchooria. Physically the country is
divided into two regions, the one a
series of mountain ranges occupying
the northern and eastern portions of
the kingdom, and the other a plain
which stretches southwark from MONK
den, the capital, to the Gulf of Leaou-
tung. Speaking generally, the noun
tains run in a direction parallel with
the lay of the country, and are inter
persed with numerous and fertile val
leys, more especially on the southern
and eastern slopes, where the summer
sun brings to rich perfection the fruits
of the soil fortified by the showers of
the south monsoon.
Moukden, or as it is called by the
Chinese Shing-yang, the capital city
of Manchooria, is situated in the
province of Leaou-tung. 1t occupies a
fine position on the river Shin, an
affiuent of the Leaou. and is a city
with considerable pretensions to grand

the proposal that this compact super
sede the Clayton-Bulwer treaty.
England, SO far as can be learned,
rejects our proposals on the following
grounds:
1. That as trustee for all maritime
nations she cannot consent to a canal
in whose naturalization all nations do
not join. This is, to speak plainly,
simply a pretense and may be dis
missed as SUCH
2. That the Davis amendment is
Objectionable because it gives us the
right to control the canal completely.
AS the canal will be essentially a part
of our coast line we must SO control it.
8. That in the Clayton-Bulwer
treaty England surrendered for a GER
tain consideration vested rights in
Central America. and that our pro-
posals destroy the consideration with
out restoring the rights surrendered
in exchange therefor. -
In this last is plainly the gist of the
whole matter. England most likely
hopes that the United States will offer
concessions of American soil in Alaska
o. elsewhere in exchange for her
rights in Central America
In a word, England fails back upon
the Clayton-B ulwer treaty, sits down
ON the canal route. and demands to be
bought on.
AS the Clayton-Bulwer treaty Is
still in force the United States is thus
confronted with the alternative of fore

81 am no longer young" said an
Alaska pioneer the other day. but ]
expect to live to see a continuous
line of railway from New York to st
Petersburg by way of Boring Strait
In fact. work on one of the connecting
links will be begun within a year." The
line he referred to will extend from
Port Valdez on the sea to the Yukon
river at the mouth Of the Tanana
From this point another road is pro-
jected to Nome, and If that should bt
built. a railway across the strait tc
Siberia might become at least a posi-
btlity. If expanding trade should de-
mand such road, neither the en-.
cheering nor the financial difficulties
would be insurmountable. 1t is ar
interesting thing to speculate about
at any rate.

Near Rio Grande City, Texas, an i'm
mense deposit of an unknown gaseous
substance has been discovered. Pieces
Of it ignite quickly and give out a
strong flame, which lasts for a remark
ably long period. 1t is said by scien-
fists that the substance is either an
unknown mineral or ordinary clay
highly charged with gas. In either
case, the value of the deposit as fuel
is immense, as it covers many thou
sands of acres, and is of immense
depth.
