Uprising in China.

The present uprising in China has no connection with the Boxer move ment. The province of Kwang Ii, in which the rebellion. exists lies far to the south on the frontier of Tonking and with an adjacent province forms a division of the empire that is gov erned by the Viceroy at Canton.
 During the exciting events of 1900 that entire section and the middle provinces as well were unaffected, and the present trouble had its rise, ap- parently, in the discomfort of ex-sol- diers who have been clamoring in vain for their pay. Probably they could be bought off if there were money in hand for the purpose. but in default a,pf the much-desired cash they are pro- -1oiaiming their resolve to overthrow hthe Manchu dynasty and establish a Chinese dynasty in it's stead.
 This disturbance may amount to lit- tie more than riotous demonstration, but if it should spread it might have serious international consequences. The province touches upon the French possessions in Farther India, and even now a French officer is said to have been killed by the rebels. If that is true a French demand for satisfaction will follow as a matter of course, and :. this may result in certain coveted con- 2 sessions which will not please the rivals of France French subjects have been very active during the last two years with projects of railroad build ing through Kwangsi and the interior l. province of Yunnan, whose trade they hope to control.
 e.1 As regards the Chinese themselves there is certainly very little sympathy between the people of the south and those of the north. The Cantonese were favorable to the reform move ment inaugurated by the Emperor and distinctly unfriendly to the Dowagers s party at court. They have resented the Manchu privileges. and with such good effect that the Viceroy was in duced to curtail them considerably in an order which he issued about year ago. Formerly the Manchu quarters of the Chinese cities enjoyed an inde- pendence of the local authorities, but now, owing to this order, they are amenable to Chinese police discipline, the Tartar soldiers are forbidden to carry arms, except on duty, and all the Manchus are answerable to the ordinary tribunals.
 The change is due undoubtedly to the influence of public sentiment, but it is not a proof of disloyalty to the dynasty. which has many supporters among the southern Chinese, who con- tinue to distinguish between the Elm press and her unfortunate victim, the Emperor

New Works Hotels.

'"The hotels of New York were crowded, and in some of them 1t required scram- ble to get table" said Mir. c. H. Nabb. who returned recently from visit to the metropolis.
 "New York is city of elegant hotels. The Waldorf Astoria is as fashionable as ever and Is doing a great business. Mrs. Nabb and l stopped at the Imperial. which, as every one Is supposed to know, is splendid hotel. But there are so many fine places at which to stop in New York. that one cannot go amiss. Prices are high, but in a city like New York 1t could not be otherwise at first-class hotels and cafes.
 "we went to a new table dhote house for our dinner. The price was s2 for each person, and so great was the crowd that 1t was as much as we could do to get seats"

French Opera Arrives.

The French Opera Company of New Or leans arrived in Birmingham at o'clock last night. Like the f1rst-class troupe that it is, it never plays the night be- fore a matinee The artists came here to rest in order to be in good condition for this afternoon.
 A few of the principals are registered at the Hillman and many members of the orchestra and several of the singers are at the Metropolitan; but the the following great stars are at the Morris: Due the tenor, Henderson the tenor, Bouxmann the basso, Mime. Foedor, dramatic soprano Amalou. first director of orchestra.
 Some American music lovers always complain about opera not being sung in English. But the fact is they hear opera sung in English and can not understand the words So what Is the difference Carmen and Les Huguenots will be great performances; at least musical people who have heard this famous company in New Orleans say so.

Duties of Street Car EmpIoyes,

Birmingham has reached the sky scraper age We are upon the thresh- hold, it is hoped, of the clean local government era, but the day of the day of the street car employe who knows his business thoroughly has not dawned Thanks to President Jemison and the other men who man. age the affairs of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power Company, we have a well equipped street car system. The schedules are well ar ranged, the cars, many of them are new, and the old ones are kept in good condition. There is but one thing lacking-better trained conduc. tors.
 The objection in mind is the way passengers are allowed to get on and off cars. Board a trolley in Birming. ham and one is jostled and showed by dozen persons trying to get off at the same time. A woman may have spent hours preparing for the theatre but to present crumpled up appearance because she got off the trolley just as the fat man was get ting on.
 The custom in other cities is for the conductor to stand on the ground, assist every one of who desires to alight before allowing any one to get on. This is economy in the way of time for the company and saves the temper of its patrons. Another ob- jection is that conductors are not careful enough in calling out the streets Cars run fast and at night 1t Is next to impossible for passengers to locate where they wish to stop. The street car company is progressive. The management needs but a hint to school its employees.

sALuTEs THE AMERICAN FLAG.

Chicago Dispatch to New York Sun.
 Prince Henry's first act as he stepped on Chicago soil was to lift his hat to the American flag. A smile lighted his face at the cheers of the German army vet erans; then. with a dignified stride, he moved toward the welcoming party As he stood on the platform of the train his eye had caught a large American flag hanging just ahead of him. above his path. He paused, slowly raised his hat, and bowed. A ripple of hand-clappinE could be heard from the crowd back of the police lines, and five or six country men of the prince shouted enthusiastic ally.

Birminuham's Need.

Birmingham, like every other city in this country, needs many things, but nothing so much perhaps as high school with an adequate building and large equipment in which a depart ment of technology would be the pre- dominant feature.
 There is hardly a city of any size that is not dependent to great ex- tent upon mills and factories. Com munites that formerly thrived on gen. eral trade alone have in recent years acquired important industries and have come to be known to the manufactur- ing world for one or more specialties in the mechanic arts. Such cites have, as a rule. appreciated the necessity of establishing mechanic schools, where intelligent boys, with a turn for tech nical knowledge, might be educated on special lines of practical advantage to themselves and indirectly of great benefit to the community.
 Now, If this demand for the techni- cal school is felt in the average city, how much greater is the demand for such an institution in Birmingham, the center of mining and manufacture in the South
 Boys and young men whose fathers have means can go to Auburn and get an excellent technical education. They can there learn mathematics, physics, chemistry, geology, civil engineering, mechanic engineering, mining en- gineering, electric engineering, metal lurgy and practical mechanics from blacksmithing to carpentry. This is all well and good, but there are hun dreds of boys in this district who have aptitude for science as applied to everyday work who have not the means to go to college. They should have the opportunity of receiving technical education right here in Bir- mingham.
 This city should have a public high school open day and night, where young men could learn to be mechanic engineers, mining engineers, and as- sayists. Those who were not occupied in the shops could study in the day time, and lusty apprentice boys could study at night Some of the best edu- cated men in Pittsburg and other industrial centers have got most of their book learning by attending night schools.
 Dr. J. H. Phillips, superintendent of public schools, has been agitating for a department of technology in connec- tion with high school. He has the support in quiet way of a number of prominent citizens.
 It is said that MT. Andrew Carnegie has become interested in this move ment. He may contribute largely to- ward the establishment of a school of technology here, under Dr. Phillips plan. Whether MT. Carnegie does this or not, the public spirit of Birming- ham should be aroused and before the end of this year high school building commensurate with Birminghams s needs should be financed and depart ment of technology organized.
 Until something like this is done, Birmingham must go away from home for it's trained men for furnace and mill work.

New Stamps.

Postmaster General Payne has decided on a new stamp particularly designed for the foreign mail service" said a postal official.
 Tt Is to be of a denomination new to the postal service-13 cents. At present 1t is impossible to send a registered letter through the foreign mails without using two stamps-one of cents to pay the postage and one of s cents to pay the cost of registration. When the Recent stamp Is on sale this will, of course be obviated by the use of one stamp. The design of the stamp provides for a portrait of President Harrison, which is an excellent likeness. Mir. Harrison is shown seated at his desk in the executive mansion"
