WORKING THE ROAD ROLLER.

mire. What does this mean to the
"The load" says q report of the de-
partment of agriculture. that one
horse can move on iron rails on n level

level asphalt pavement. 81 horses on
the best Belgian block pavement. 7
horses on -cobblcstoncs. 20 horses on

cant. Of course, for the: Kew. York
farmer as for his brethren south and
west. but they are pregnant enough to
make him ponder. They should be dis.
played on every siSnpost in the rural
parts.
General Stone Of the United States
roads bureau has complied some tig-
ures bearing on the good roads problem
which are Illuminating and even star
tling. He estimates tha, il costs the
farmers OF the country every year: the
enormous sum of $J4G000,000 to haul
their products to rail and water, n sum
which exceeds the operating expenses
OF all the railroad companies. Two
thirds Of this sum might be saved. he
believes. by constructing good roads.
This is conclusion that must be prov
ed to the satisfaction Of the farmers Of
each district. which is not an easy un.
dertaking. since many of them are so
poor that present outlay seems to them
OF greater moment than prospective
advantage.
A man who is engaged in struggle
to keep the wolf from the door can
hardly be expected to burden himself
with an increased road tax. Life Is
too short and uncertain, he thinks. 1t
has been pointed out with much force
that the farmer complains loudly about
an increase Of fraction of a cent a
mile by a railroad company. which he
denounces as plundcring monopoly.
but he keeps on I'm his old imbecile way
OF wearing out his horses and wagons
on exccraDle roads. General Stone tells
him that If he would have the courage
to face the cost OF reasonably good
roads the farm property OF the country
would appreciate probably SIJ.000.OD

Commenting on the good roads con-

the New York Sun says:
There are no worse roads In the
country than are found in the southern
states. The proof is furnished by the
department Of agriculture, which has
investigated the cost Of transportation
on roads Indifferent parts Of the coun-
try and makes this estimate: "In the
the Northern and eastern states, where
the average wagon haul Ger farm prod
uce ranges from 80 to 60 miles, to

and the southern states generally,
where the average haul is S.S miles, 1t
costs $2.T2, and In the cotton states

the cost is $305."

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-The Senate

the House provision relating to the abo :

votes could be mustered in the Senate
in favor of the canteen; 81 were cast
against it,

THE LoorING IN PEKING.
A Var Correspondent Makes Charge
Against Missionaries.

VICTORIA, Jan. 10.-George Lynch,
the war correspondent of the Mail and
Express, in an interview given to the
Kobe Chronicle shortly before he sailed
for San Francisco, en- route home,
makes an indictment against some
missionaries at Peking. He says:
The private looting that took place
was most successfully exploited by the
missionaries. When an effort was made
TO stop promiscuous looting, every
British officer was on his point OF hon
or to give an account of any loot that
he had, and to return everything except
one or two things of trifiing value
which he was allowed to keep as SOU
venirs. The looting stopped from that
time among the soldiers-that is, pri-
vate looting. But the missionaries
were not stopped by this at all. Thev
took possession of big Chinese houses
where they carried on sales OF every
thing they could seize, engaging their
converts to bring them in fresh articles
from private houses as purchases de-
pleted their stock. L purchased a sable
coat myself from a missionary for $125,
after bargaining with him for some
days sent home a photograph or one
of these gentlemen, taken in his shop,
with piles of furs and Buddhas round
him, and his converts assisting in the
selling. He stood amid the Buddhas
like poulterer selling his pheasants
He had a Chinese there yaluing the
things. The Chinese put on the full
value. and the missionary sold them

UNCLE SAM TO
DEFEND PANAMA

WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-There is
reason to believe that the United States
Government will adopt vigorous line
of action in case the city of Panama
it attacked or there is any interruption
of the transit facilities of the isthilus.
According to a treaty arrangement
with Colombia, the United States has
been given certain measure of rro-
lection over the peaceful conduct OF
traffic across the isthmus.
When Consul General Jager few
months ago reported that the revolu-
tionfsts would lombard the city of
Panama, Acting Secretary of State Hill
promptly sent a dispatch announcing
/ in unusually vigorous terms that the
Government would not tolerate any ae-
ton likely to prejudice or interfere
with the rights which this Government
had assumed. The dispatch became
known in Panama and had the effect OF
putting an end to the plan of lombard
ing. Mr.. Gudger's present dispatch
does not indicate that the city itself
is about to be attacked. but If 1t de-
ivelops by later information that there
is any prospect of bon1bardment, the
vigorous procedure of few months
ago will be repeated. st present he

LORD DUFFERIN TELLS WHY
HE WAS in A BANKRUPT BANK


LONDON, Jan. 9-Amidst cries of
tile Interruptions, the Marquis of Duff
ferin and Ava, chairman of the sus-
pended London & Globe Finance Cor
poration, Ltd, at the extraordinary
general meeting of the company called
for today, succeeded in at least tenn
porarily appeasing the wrath of the
shareholders.
The hall was packed, and the direc-
tors were evidently supported by a
large faction, as warm cheering min
gled with Kisses. and hooting. AS a
result of the explanations of the direc-
tors. the shareholders voted an ad-
journment until Monday, when a
scheme for the reconstruction of the
concern will be submitted.
Lord Dufferin spoke with evident
emotion, as he explained his personal
relations with the corporation, and the
result of the meeting was largely a
tribute to himself. During the course
of his remarks he explained that he
was induced to accept the chairman
ship at the solicitation of the late Lord
Loch and Sir William Robinson.
His lordship added that he felt that
when two such eminent men were con-
nected with the concern he could legit-
imately join. He soon discovered he
had bitter opponents who desired his
resignation, hoping that depreciation
of the securities would follow. But he
stuck to his position and investments,
and though greater sufferer than
most of the shareholders he had no
regret. If he had, ne hoped to convince
them of his good faith. Later he found

FIVE THOUSAND
BOERS ADVANCING

interviewed today by representative
! of the Associated Press regarding the
curious trend of events in South Africa,
and the possibilities of peace, and the
action the war office is taking to meet
matters, said:
AThe condition of affairs in South
Africa absolutely forbids prophecy.
You cannot call it war, yet in some
respects this it worse than war. 1t is
well-nigh impossible to fight in the or
dinary way against a people who have
no uniforms. For week, perhaps a
month, a Boer goes out to fight. Then
he says, / am sick of this, buries his
gun and becomes in all respects a
peaceful farmer. Yet the very next
week the spirit moves him and he digs
up the gun and rejoins the commando.
1t is terribly hard TO deal equitably
with such a character. The secret of
the whole thing consists in horses.
We have enough men there, but not
lenough mounted men"
THE GLOOMY NEWS
LONDON, Jan. 9.-This morning s
news from Cape Town is again unsatis-
factory. Martial law has been pro-
claimed at Malmesbury and would have
been proclaimed in other districts but
that the Cabinet meeting called on Sat
urday was unable to agree to its ad-
visibility. The vagueness of the in
formation concerning the movements
and position of the invaders has sent
IA fresh cold fit over the colonies, and
Cape Town calls loudly for strong re-
endorsements from England, on the
ground that the greater part of Lord
Kitchener's available force is employed
in protecting the dimes of communica-
ton and the Rand mines, the latter
extending for distance of fifty miles.
1t is asserted by one Cape Town cor
respondent that unless the forces in
Cape Town are increased a most unde-
sirable state of affairs may result, as
the success in arms of the invaders,
however slight, might be the signal for
a Dutch uprising.
AS it is, many British residents have
had to leave the Dutch villages near
Cape Town, their lives being made un-
bearable.
According to native report. 100 men,
either Beers or local farmers, have just
passed through Clan William district
in the direction of Malmesbury.
The Cape Town correspondent of the
Daily Mail, who calls for 40. 900 fresh
troops, says:
Prominent Afrikander loyalists de-
clare that the rebellious colonists will
construe the colonial call to arms as a
challenge and that the ominous silence
of the pro-rebels, combined with the
fact that members of the pro-Boer
junta in Cape Town have been touring
in the disaffected districts, emphasizes
the necessity of martial law. The ne
cesity was never more acute for de-
spatching re-enforcemet IS. Already
there is proof that colonlals are leading
one commando"
