Keeping Out the Chinese.

The character of the objections to
Chinese immigration into this country
Is BRIEFLY set forth by The New York
Commercial. from which : it will ap-
Dear that 50 the man and the brother"
idea is in eclipse.
The entire west, voting the republi-
can ticket, is opposed to personal con-
tact with the Chinaman. The Chinese
coolie can outbid the white man for
work. ..Thus it is so," says The
Commercial, "that our own laborers
are supplanted by Chinese in shops,
on railroads, on ranches and in the
thousands other industries Of the west.
At the present time the situation is
not so bad, for the Chinese residents are
geIi settled to occupations that do not
come into such close competition with
our own workers. But the west knows
what wholesale immigration signifies.
It has felt the effects of it once and
It is not prepared to entertain another
multitude of the heathen.'' All this,
however, should be overlooked by a
missionary people who esteem 1t {,
privilege to raise the standing Of an
inferior race. But against this mis-
sion the west energetically protests
They claim that the Chinese can
never adopt our habits, tastes or cur
ambitions. Therefore they cannot be-
come good citizens Of the republic.
They have no desire to affiliate with
the American people, but herd to-
gether and maintain to startling de-
gree, the habits and customs Of their
own land. This mode Of living is
devoid of all the comforts an Amerl-
canI laborer of the lowest grade has
right to demand as his own. therefore
thew can and do work for less than ne
gets. The people of the west maintain
these things, and they are in favor OF
the exclusion act. y
There is in this argument much IN
common with what the people OF the
south have to say about the colored
question. We would suggest to The
New York Times that there should be
no discrimination against "coloreo
gentlemen of the Chinese race. a

TRAINS GAME TOGETHER.
Smashed Up and Burned in Mon
tana---i0 Killed % Hurt.

ST. Paul, Mimi, Nov. 18.-A special
to The Globe from Great Falls, Mont,
saws: A wreck occurred on the Great
Northern near Blair, Mont, So miles
east of here, yesterday morning IN
which 10 men lost their lives and IN
which 29 others were seriously lnJur.-
ed. An extra freight ran into work
train and it was among those on the
latter train that the havoc was
wrought. Forty-one japanese laborers
were aboard the work train which was
proceeding westward. It expected to
meet the freight at Culbertson. There
is a sharp curve near where the trains
met and each was running at a speed
of 25 miles an hour. So great was the
force of the impact that the freight
cars we're thrown upon the top ofsthe
work train, which was piled high IN
mass of wreckage.
Almost Immediately flames broke
forth and added to the horror OF the
scene. Those uninjured Immediately
began to rescue those imprisoned in
the wreck whose dying groans and
piteous appeals for help urged on the
workers. At the time the accident
occurred the japanese were at break
fast and before they were aware of the
impending danger the cars were smash
ed into kindling wood and the dead
and dying men buried beneath the
heap of wreckage. Of the entire num-
Der in the car but three escaped death
or injury. After an hours work all
had been accounted for and there were
10 dead bodies beside the track and
several men so badly injured that it is
likely they will die. It was impossi-
BILE to check the progress of the flames
and soon seven of the work cars and
three freight cars were in ashes. 1t
was some time before word of the
wreck could be sent to the outside
world. It was necessary to send a
man on to Culbertson, six miles
away, and he could not be spared for
this until everything possible had been
done to save those in the wreck.
Word was sent to Glasgow for a re-
lief train and doctors, and as soon as
they reached the scene the work of
caring for the injured began. Nine
teen of the injured were brought to
the hospital here this afternoon and
the other nine men were left at Havre.
Of those brought here all but three
probably will recover. Those at Havre
were not SO seriously Injured.

Engines of Destruction.

If the theory that the more terrible
war is made the less war we shall
have be correct, the prospects of peace
must be considered as improving stead
lily.
There is now no great waf, going on
anywhere and yet never before have
there been so many experiments upon
various devices for the destruction of
life and property.
Ingenuity and invention are exhaust
ing their powers upon efforts to devise
the means of Unprecedented terror and
devastation in siege and battle. Our
country is we'll abreast of this ad-
vance, if, Tin fact, it be not the leader
of the movement.
We have increased and improved
wonderfully in the last few years our
appliances for both offensive and de-
fensive warfare, but we seem to be
paying more attention to the former
than the latter. In the manufacture
of great guns we are especially enter
prising.
A series of experiments have been
made recently with q new dynamite
gun that has terrific effectiveness and
at every range came up to all the
representations of its builders. 1t
proved that it can throw accurately for
8, 900 Yards, or nearly mile and two
thirds, 500 pounds of nitro gelatin, an
amount of that explosive that would
destroy the most powerful battieshlE
adoat.
This gun can throw six-inch shells,
each loaded with 50 pounds of nitro
gelatin, 5000 yards, or even iour
miles and half.
One such shell if it struck its mark
would scatter death far and wide and
cripple severely the stoutest ship.
The gun can also fire with great
rapidity and accuracy smaller projec-
tiles at range Of 2, 500 yards.
1t can also handle its heaviest pro
jectiles with remarkable rapidity, fir
ing four dynamite shells, eacth weigh.
ing more than half ton, within |:
minutes.
Having thus constructed the most de-
structive gun in the world, American
ingenuity has also devised the gun Of
the longest range, now being com
pleted at Watervliet arsenal.
1t will be the largest gun ever made
and vet so simple that a child can fire
it. This monster will carry shell
twentv-one miles, a great deal further
than the gun of longest reach now II

RAILROAD RATES FOR THE EX
POSITION.

In the matter of the opening of the
Charleston exposition which is so rap
idly approaching, there is nothing
that the people are more anxious to
get the actual figures of than the
round trip railroad rates. frequently
announcements have been made that
cheap rates would be offered and IN a
general way an idea of those rates has
been given, but many inquiries have
been coming in as to the rates stated
in dollars and cents from this and that
town. It has therefore been impossi-
bic to give the figures owing to the
delay of the Southeastern Passenger
Association in getting out its exposi-
tion circular quoting the figures for
the leading points on the different
lines in the southeastern territory:
This circular has at last been issued
and the figures are now availabe Be
low are given the figures quoted for
the principal points in South Carroll
IA.
! All tickets will be restricted to con-
tinuous passage in each direction.
The Charleston terminal lines have
given notice that it will be impracti-
cable for them to park cars for occu-
pancy at the exposition grounds or at
their Charleston terminal stations.
The sets of round trip tickets ar
ranged are as follows, the round
trip rates being given:
Column A-Tickets to be sold daily
commencing Nov. 80, until and in
cluding May 81, 1902, with final limit
Of June 8.
Column B-Tickets to be sold daily
commencing Nov. 80, until and in
Guiding May 81; final limit of 10 days
including day of sale, except in no case
shall final limit exceed June 3.
Column C-Tickets to be sold on
Tuesdays and Thursdays of each week,
commencing on Dec. 8. and until and
including May %, with final limit of
seven days in addition to day of sale,
final limit in no case exceeding June g.
Column D-Tickets to be sold on
Tuesdays and Thursdays of each
week, commencing Dec. 8, until and
including May %, with final limit of
five days, in addition to date of sale.
Under this explanation the following
figures are given:

No shipment should be made with

for loss and confusion may occur, as
the amount of freight now being re-

and it requires every care to prevent
mistakes.

eINNERIES REPORT OF The CROP
CENSUS OFFICE INSTRUCTED
TO CANVASS ANNUALLY.

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE annual
report of Hon. W. R. Merriam, dlrec-
tor. of the census, was made public to-
day. Speaking of the prospect OF
meeting the legal requirement for the
completion of the four principal re-
ports bv July |, 1902, Mr.. Merriam
saws: aThe work of tabulating the
returns and results of the field work
of the enumerators and special agents
of the 18th census has progressed with
reasonable CELEBRITY. The law provides
that the four principal reports shall
be placed in the hands Of the publlc by
the lst of July 1902, and this require
ment has rendered it absolutely neces-
sary to maintain a clerical force ace
ouate to complete the work within the
prescribed period. The statisticians
made estimates of the time needed to
finish the particular branch assigned
10 each of them. The plans SO sub,
mitted have been greatly interferred
with owing to the absence OF clerks
from duty owing to sickness or annual
leave. It was hoped by the first OF
November large number OF demployes
could be dispensed with; but mas
nuch as the work has been retarded,
owing to the difficulty of maintaining
the clerical force at its maximum, II
NOT likely that there will be any
material reduction until after the first
Of the year. The officials OF the once
believe thatstheir allotted task Will De
completed in ample time. =
The director gives list OF prcsecu-
lions for violations OF the law IN con-
nection with the census work, saying
of them:
It was hardly to be expected that
ont of the large number Of agents en-
ployed in the field work-about 5000
in au-that there would not be some
Who would prove incompetent and IN
faithful to duty. The director has en-
deayored to enforce the census act TO
the letter and through the assistance
OF the attorney general has proceedeo
against all offenders. -
The report includes detailed state
nents from the different chiefs OF diyl-
sions in the bureau. Mr.. S. n. ID.
North, chief of the manufacturing
division, reports that the work of
his division is rapidly drawing to com.
pletion. Speaking of the success OF
The bureaus two reports on cotton,
Mr.. North says:
This Office has secured from cot
ION producers, cotton exchanges, cot

vices rendered by these repotrs. | am
therefore, led to recommend that con-
gress pass joint resolution autho1lz-
ing and instructing the census ofhce to
make a similar canvass OF the cotton
ginneries annually. Under its present
organized system of machinery this
Office will be able to publish this cot
ton report as early as the month OF
May or June in each year, or three to
four months in advance of their posi-
BILE publication through agencies of any
other kind. The commercial advan-
tages resulting from these earlier, more
accurate and detailed statistics as to
the volume of the annual cotton crop
are too obvious to be further ow9lt
upon.
