as the battle-ground for the future control
of the Pacific, the United States enters
with the peaceful rivalries of trade. Ninety
per cent of all the exports of American cot
ton cloths to China find market in the
three treaty ports of Chefoo, Tienstin and
Newchwang. situated on or near the Gulf
of Pechili. The port of Chinwantao. close
to the seward extremity of the great wall
of China at Shanhaikwan, is the only other
treaty port within this area.
On the eastern side of the. Liaotung pen

Dalny, formerly known as Talienwan,

trade.
In the northern blight of the Bay Of Corea,
and at the mouth of the River Yalu is the
scene of the great naval conflict of 1894 be-
tween China and Japan. About twenty
miles up the river is the port of Antung
designatedsas a treaty port in the new com
mercial convention between China and the
United States. Anfung has no immediate
commercial Importance, but as il will form
the future terminus of the Chinese rail-
roads which converge at the Corean from
tier and join the Corean railroad still
awaiting construction, which VIII traverse
the entire length of the country from
Wiju to Fusan. the future of the place has
enormous possibilities. Mukden. from which
will start the branch of the east Chm Sc
communicating with Antung, is the other
new port provided for in the American
treaty, and is a place eminently suited TO
the development of trade. The af1iuent of
the River Riato, on which Mukden is sit
uated, is navigable for boats for light
draft, and this is an important considera-
ton for the future of the sea-borne trade
which finds entrance and outlets at New

PRACTICAL CHRISTIANITY.
Rev. John Van Schaick Commends
Work of Jacob Riis

Rev. John Van Schaick, pastor of the
Church of Our Father. Universalist, at 18th
and l. streets, last night delivered the sec
ond of his series of sermons on the general
theme Practical Christianity. or Social
Service in Washington" Mr.. Van Schaick's
topic last night was For every house is
buided by some man.. Hebrews iii:4. In
the course of his remarks the minister
praised the work of Mr. Jacob a. Bills in
the reclamation of the city slums. Mr.. Van
Schaick said:
Every house. howell and shanty in Wash
ington is builded by some man. Every shack
or rookery has owner or landlord For
every dollar invested in alley property,
there is a steward somewhere. What we
need to understand is that somebody is re-
sponsible for slum conditions in Washing
ton. What we need to ascertain is how to
reach this somebody and in a spirit of
justice and equity compel a change"
Suggesting remedies for existing condi-
tons. Mr. Van Schaick continued:
What, then. do we want? First-A law
that will enable the Commissioners to open
up every hidden court and blind alley in
Washington; the conversion of these into
minor streets. where possible, and their
complete destruction where this is neither
practicable nor wise.
'.Second-A law authorizing the health
officer or some other agent to condemn or
pull down insanitary dwellings.
'Third-An act designating the minimum
amount of air space in cubic feet that shall
be required for each sleeper in tenement,
and providing for sanitary inspection by
day and by night for tenement conditionsS
"Fourth-Light, water. sewerage; Ventila-
ton in every building offered for rent in
Washington.
Let us for once catch thespra ctical spirit
of the Master and take Christmas into some
of the homes about us: For every house
is builded by some man When we can
reach the owner. let us reach the victim.
But for one believe that the day of the I'M
scrupulous extortonate landlord, whether
it's a church corporation or private usur-
or Is passing away.

PROJECT ABANDONED
WASHINGTON NOT INCLUDED IN
MODEL CITY EXHIBIT.
Differences of Opinion Among Citizens
Regarding Matter-Re-
suit of Inquiry.

The city of Washington will not be repre-
sented in the model city exhibit at the
Louisiana purchase exposition at st. Louis.
This information is contained in motion
made today with regard to the matter by
Commissioner mcfarland. who states that
because of the differences of opinion among
the citizens relative to the proposition, and
for other reasons. it does not seem adv.sa-
bic that Washington should be represented
in the exhibit by a typical building The
subject has been under consideration by
Commissioner Macfarland for several
weeks. and his decision is arrived at after
thorough investigation as to the wishes
of the citizens of Washington.
About two weeks ago a conference on
the subject was held at the District build
Ing, when representatives of the Board of
Trade and the Business Mems Association
gave expression to their views on the mat
ter, and since that time the personal opin-
ions of prominent citizens have been solic-
tied relative to the proposition. Commits
sioner Maefarland,s motion to his asso-
ciates on the Board of Commissioners is as
follows:
Il move that the invitation of the Louisi-
ana purchase exposition, that the Commits
sioners exhibit in the model city at the
worlds fair a reproduction on a smaller
scale of a typical municipal building of the
city of Washington, be declined with CRATE
full Acknowledgements. 1t is estimated that
the cost of the construction of a structure
suitable to represent the national capital in
the model city and of it's maintenance
throughout the period of the worlds fair
would be not less than $25, 900, which is
about the average amount appropriated by
those cities which are to be represented in
this manner at st. Louis
Developed by Inquiry.
Careful inquiry among citizens of the
District shows, first, that it would be i'm
practicable to raise this amount of money,
any considerable amount Of money for
this purpose, by popular subscription; sec
ond, that there is wide difference of opin-
ion as to the advisability of asking Con-
gress to make an appropriation for this
purpose, even on the half and half basis
and practically unanimous opinion that
the appropriation should not be made
wholly out of District revenues. 1t is ap-
parent that public opinion is so divided on
the subject that it seems inadvisable to ask
Congress for an appropriation.
Besides the general representation of the
national capital at the ST. Louis worlds
fair in the United States government build
ing (and Congress has appropriated over
million dollars for the United States gov
eminent exhibit the District of Columbia
will be well represented by it's public school
exhibit, for which the Commissioners are
making arrangements"
Commissioners West and Biddle will APP
prove the recommendation of Commissioner

The Corean Strait.
AS the Corean strait is a vitality important
part of the line of communication between
Vladivostock and Port ANhur and as the
Island of Tsushima, in the middle of the
strait, belongs to Japan, the Russian de-
sire for footing on the mainland of Corea
is, apart from other considerations, quite
Ineligible. In May, 1900, piece of land
was actually acquired in the harbor of
Masampho opposite Tsushima. which it was
announced was to be used for a coaling
station by Russia. The acquisition of this
territory constituted breach of the under
taking given by Russia in 1886, never to
occupy any portion of the soil of Corea.
This promise was extorted after the occu-
patton of Port Hamilton by British fleet
act prompted, in return, by the an
nounced intention of Russia to occupy Port
Lazaref, the eastern shore of Corea

which meant that the steamer must

have two libels aggregating $4,000 and
