Relies on China's Promises.

Washington. D. c. (SpeciaD. .-inas.
much as the Chinese Government very
recently has expressed its willingness
to yield to the desire of the United
States for open ports in Manchuria,
the officials here are at a loss TO un.
derstand the communication sent by
Prince Ching to Minister Conger refus.
ing this concession. They have receiv-
ed no advices on the subject
The importance OF the communica-
tion, il it accurately reflects the atti-
tude OF the Chinese Government, is
realized in Washington. However,
impressed with the heretofore express
ed willingness OF China to open Man
churian ports, reinforced by the assur-
ances given to this Government by
Russia along the same lines, the officials
continue firm in their belief that the
situation ultimately will be clarified and
the efforts OF the United States re-
wardcd.
In some quarters the objections urg-
ed to the opening OF ports i'll Prince
Ching's communication are regarded as
a mere diplomatic quibblc, designed,
perhaps, to placate Russia. No mat
ter what fresh obstacle may intervene.
our Government firm in the conviction
that the principle of the open door in
China should be enjoyed by all nations,
will continue to exert its influence in
that direction.
1t is true, as stated in the London
dispatches, that Japan looks with sus-
picion upon the Russian pledges rela.
tive to Manchuria and has intimated
to the State Department that they are
not satisfactory, but so far the depart
ment sees no reason to accept that
view.

Increase 10 Real Wealth.

"Has the present great boom left the
country richer in real wealth." was the
question propounded to William B.
Ridgely, Comptroller OF the Currency.
"lf you mean by the great boom
the boom in the stock market" said
Comptroller Ridgely, II doubt if it has
had any effect on the real wealth OF
the country. 1t has doubtless greatly
affected the distribution OF wealth, but
it has not changed the aggregate
amount. If you mean the real boom,
which was the cause OF the stock boom,
and not its result, the figures show
what has been added TO the wealth OF
the country. In 1893 the local coin and
other money in the United States was
$1,000 900. In 1893 this had increas-
ed to S2,o73ooo, 900. In July, 1908, the
money in the country had increased to
s., ,6SS.oo 5000.
Il turn to the figures OF the cash
in hand as reported by the various
banks. In 1892 for the United States
it was S586,ooo, 900: in 1907 it had grown
to S628, 100000. In 1902 it has reached
the enormous sum OF $3.50 900 900, an
increase in 10 years OF S253ooo,ooo.
The most astonishing figures have
to do with the value OF farm products.
In 1890 these products were worth $2,-
400 ,ooo, 900; the production OF the year
1900 S4,73o, 100000. an increase OF $2,-
27o,oooooo Undoubtedly the farmer
has continued to expand in production
and prosperity"
