eight gates. Like Peking. the town
possesses drum tower and 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 the
suburbs. the richest and most extern
sive of which are on the western and
southern faces of the city. Leaou-
yang, which was once the capital of
the country, also stands In the province
of Leaou-tung, but 1t Is not now

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 tho
Usuri and the maritime Russian prov
inces. It contains an area OF about
$4,000 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.
The local trade is considerable, and is
benefited by the presence Of large junk
building yards. which, owing to the
abundance and cheapness of wood.
have been established there, and from
which the place mas derived its Chi

houses and shops are gayly decorated
with flowers brought from the sunny
south. Ashehoh. on the Ashe, with its

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

is thinly populated, and is cultivated
only along the lines of its rivers. The

Nearly one-fourth OF our exports to
China go TO the province of Man
chooria. In 1899, the latest year for
which complete figures are obtainable,
we sent to China products valued At
$230l3,013. of which % per cent went
to Manchooria. American goods, espe-
cially cottons. are in growing demand
there To that province in 1893 went
fully 80 per cent of our exports OF cot
ton goods to China These facts show
why the United States would neces-
sarily oppose any such closing of the
Mancboorian market.
There is, however. no reason to be-
lieve that Russia has any such inten-
tion. AS matter of fact Russia had
begun negotiations for the cession OF
MaDchooria year before the Pekin
riots begun. The transfer of the terri
tory is therefore matter that con-
Germs only Russia and China. The
Cars government has given positive
assurances that the occupation of
Manchooria, made necessary to protect
railway and other Russian interests
during the Boxer outbreak. is tempo
rary and solely for the purpose of re-
storing order. The folly OF the Lon
don reports that Russia has bribed
the Chinese court to consent to the
permanent alienation of Manchooria is
evident upon the slightest considera-
tion of the facts.
Russia's interests In Eastern Asia
demand that commerce with and
through Manchooria be stimulated by
every possible means Supplies of
every kind are needed for the devel-
opment Of Siberia. Traffic from the
east as well as from the west is
needed to make the Siberian railway
pay expenses. For these reasons Rus
sia was the first to agree to our re-
quest that. no matter what the future
political control of any part of China.
our treaty rights should remain unim-
paired. 1t was evidently to Russia's s
interest that commerce across the Pa
cifc be facilitated. Unable herself to
supply the growing needs of Eastern
Siberia and North China, Russia had
to rely on foreign supplies. For these
reasons Russia guaranteed our access
to the Manchoorian market, and also.
gave many of our products free entry
to Siberia.
The sugar complication evidently in
spired Russia's traditional foe with the

ing England OFF or buying her off. As
We are not ready to risk a war with
England, our obvious policy is, while
steadily preparing for the other alter
native, to try to buy England off.
No surrender of the Monroe doctrine,
no territorial concessions in Alaska,
however, can wisely be included in our
offer.
The Senate has greatly assisted Mr..
Hays future negotiations by making
it plain to all the world that the
American people will have an Ameri-
can canal or none. The belief that the
American people would ever abdicate
their supremacy in this hemisphere
must now have been dispelled from
the European mind.
To have that belief dispelled is an
advantage which Mr.. Hay should ex-
ploit promptly. In the meantime an
impression is given out from Sandow
to the effect that Britain's chief OBJ
lection to the canal comes from the
fact that vast financial resources in
our transcontinental railways Chiefly
held in England) would be greatly
depressed by the assurance of canal.
Or to be brief England is not aiming
at the American canal but is merely
carrying out the time-honored
Britain policy of protecting British in
vestors by seeking to delay a program
which when assured will iniure the
market value of their holding.-Inter-

The Springfield herald., 1901-03-22

Although England has refused our
proposals for Nicaragua canal, the
problem in hand is visibly nearing
solution. For this progress in great
cause the American people are indebted
to the United States Senate, which, by
its action on the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty, has made clear to the world the
following vital points:
l. That the American people will
never consent TO the abrogation OF the
Monroe doctrine by admitting the Eu-
ropean concert to partnership in a
purely American enterprise.
2. That the American people under
stand the canal will be in fact-what-
ever the territorial sovereignty Of its
shores-a part of their coast line and
must be treated as such
8. That the American people. while
perfectly willing to guarantee to all
nations equal commercial privileges
with their own in peace. will never
consent to a naturalization of the canal
that will open it to their enemy in
war.
A. That the American people will
not accept England as a partner in the
control of the canal.
The first and third of these four
points the Senate made clear by strik-
ing out Mr.. Hays invitation to the
European concert to Join in the guar
antics of neutrality. The second and
third it emphasized by the Davis
amendment. The fourth it declared in

England. so far as can be learned.
rejects our proposals on the following
grounds:
l. 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 part
of our coast line we must so control it.
8. That in the Clayton-Bulwer
treaty England surrendered for GER
tain consideration vested rights" in
Central America. and that our pro-
posals destroy the consideration with
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
or elsewhere in exchange for her
rights" in Central America.
In a word. England falls back upon
the Clayton Bulwer treaty. sits down
on the canal route, and demands to be
bought off.
AS the Clayton-Bulwer treaty is
still in force the United States is thus
confronted with the alternative of fore

It makes the present generation smile
10 read the accounts which have come
down to US concerning the prejudices
which were formerly entertained
against certain articles which are Of
everyday consumption.
For instance, 1t is said that when ceal
was first used in England the prejudice
against 1t was SO strong that the house
Of commons petitioned the king to pro.
hib:t the use Of the "noxious" fuel.
A royal proclamation having failed to
abate the nuisance, commission was
issued to ascertain who burned coal
within the city Of London and Its neigh
borhood, to punish them by force for
the first offense and by the demolition
Of their furnaces IL they persisted in
transgressing. A law was finally pass
ed making it Il capital offense to burn
coal in the city and only permitting it
to be used by FORCES in the vicinity. 1t
Is stated that among the records in the
Tower of London document was
found according to viii III man was
hanged in the time Of Edward l. for no
other crime than having been caught
burning coal. 1t took three centuries
to entirely efface the prejudice.

The game Of cards was first played
In the east and seems to have had a
military origin. Cards were introduced
from Asia into Europe at the time Of
the crusades and We're first used by
necromancers to foretell fortunes. They
soon became popular amusement in
the south of Europe, where the Sara
Gems and Moors taught the people how
to use them, and card playing spread
to all parts Of the continent The state
records Of Germany mention the fact
that Rudolph L., in 1875, was fond Of
the game and played with his court
iers.
After the invention of paper the man
ufacture of cards became extensive,
but declined somewhat when card play
ing was forbidden by several of the
German states and by the English gov
eminent on account of the supposed
immoral tendency. Before the era Of
