At Washington.

1t is believed that the hitch which is
said to have arisen at Pekin over the
proposition to increase the Chinese Gus
tom duties to meet the indemnities de-
manded by the foreign powers is caused
by the broaching by Mr.. Rockhill of his
plan for the abolition of the Likin duties
as condition for his acquiescence in
the customs increase. Minister WI
says that the present per cent rate is
totally inadequate to provide a sinking
fund for new loan.
Secretary Root has issued an order
abolishing the arsenal at Augusta, Me.
The property at the arsenal will be dis
posed of by the staff department and
the men serving there will be assigned
to duty elsewhere.
Another increase in the circulation
per capita of all forms of money, and
another increase in the gold reserve
upon which it rests, were the features
of the monthly report on circulation
prepared by Chief Huntington, of the
division of loans and currency. The
total money in circulation increased
about $1,000, 900 during April, and stood
on May 1 at 81, 1916 ,304, 235. The total
gold money in the country on May / is
put by the Treasury at $1.129, 267, 647,
or considerably more than so per cent
of the total mass outstanding. The re-
ported money in the country is larger
by S288, 220, Ais.

The Kennebec Arsenal.

The ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the Kennebec
arsenal at Augusta "a report of which
has gained some currency In the State
press-is not question of local interest.
1t Is a matter that concerns not Augusta
alone, but the entire State and the eoun-
try at large.
The arsenal might serve an important
use as a government plant for certain de-
partments of army construction. But
more than all this Is the fact that Maine
is a border State and occupies a position
of great risk and jeopardy. We Join II
foreign nation along several hundred
miles of land boundary, from st. An
drews to Megantic, across which an arm
ed foe could step almost any moment the
occasion called for such action. We are
now at peace with that foreign nation
and far be the day when any other rela-
ton exists between US than that of peace
yet for international safety we should
not treat the subject indifferently. No
nation, other than the United States.
bordering another power as Maine bor-
ders an English colony, but would arm
and protect its border, even in times OF
peace, to greater degree than we are
protecting our boundary, for we are posi-
lively Indifferent to the fact that this
State joins foreign nation for hundreds
of miles.
1t is of the greatest importance for
reasons of international safety and good
will that the government arsenal in Il
State as exposed to foreign invasion as i
our own, should not be dismantled. o.
the other hand there are the gravest and
best of good reasons why the arsenal
should be enlarged, made an arsenal oil
construction, a greater force maintained
there, and that it should be put upon and
kept upon a more active, vigorous, de
fensiye policy. We are in no fear of wal
with Great Britain, but there are tht
best of reasons why Kennebee arsenal a.
safety-p point of national defense should
not be abandoned.-Bdngor Commercial
