abundance, but no native ever studies improvement in their culture. Wheat, millet, maize. sorghum, sweet potatoes, peanuts, indigo and great variety of pea and bean crops are produced with ease, while rice is, of course, almost uni- versally found in cultivation. But in nearly every province the output. not withstanding the indefatigahle toll of the people, is far short of what might be at- tained under better management. while the quality of the foodstuffs is deficient in nutritive power. Vast tracts of soil have been impoverished through >entu- ries of uninterrupted production without any. adequate compensation. Enriching material is poor in quality. Grazing is unknown, and in most of the provinces the land never lies fallow. the natives never having learned the secret of the TO- tation of crops. Yet the land Is still forced tp produce three crops in two years without intermission.
 The Chinese poverty problem is com plicated. Its secondary causes are man. fold, but after all they are only exagger- ations and aggravations of the main factor, the agrarian stagnatdon. One of my friends residing for a time in the in- terior asked an official how many beg gars he was feeding. He replied, 1900. These" he explained, ''are all tenant farmers from the north. Few people who entirely own their land are so mis- erably poor" Thus at every point the agricultural question recurs. In the pro- vince of Wuhu last year 6 large relief work was initiated by foreigners. Here also the starving sufferers were chiefly of that same large class in China, the tenant farmers. Many of them were from the immense estates of the late Ii Hung Chang. Where a man gives half he raises to a landlord he can, even in a good year, save little or nothing, and a poor year means famine.
 Whether the great Hdn system of in- terior taxation can speedily be extir- pated, as some seem to expect 1t will now be, Is very doubtful One of the chief producing causes of distressing poverty lies just here. A COW crossing the river at Nankin Is taxed 60 cents, a pig about 1-2 per cent, a chicken 9 1-2 per cent, etc. This is the climax, for all along the road before nearing the great city they have been taxed at various points, and they will be taxed again when entering the city gate. When a boatman earns a fee for rowing people across a river he must pay 40 per cent. tax. Imagine what an English workman would think and say If compelled to pay in one tax 40 per cent. of his wagesl Some of the customs stations on the great roads of travel and trade are exceedingly lucrative, but the mischief of the system lies in the fact that none of the receipts go into the off, cial treasury, for as a rule the collector has to buy his position. He has to let the ofnicals and their runners go through free. The rest Is profit for himself.

 Their Letter.

Washington. Jan. 6.--'Swine who eat swine" Is the latest complaint rendered United States troops by the Sultan of Bacoiod and the Panadungan of that place.
 These two Filipino ...hrases'' of the Moro tribe have caused the American troops no little annoyance since the cc- equation by their guerrilla warfare. The following Is an example of the letters received at the War Department in the last Philippine mail It was sent to the American office in .Mindanao bearing the seal of the Sultan and the nanaduAgan of Bacoiod: SS.
 we want war If you do not get out of here and go back to the sea. because neither the Sultan of Bacalod nor the nanadungan wants to be your friend. Within this month we want the war to begin and If you don't want It you are . lot of cowardly rascals.
 Follow our Mohammedan religion.
 Do not look for the mausers for we have them. They were captered by Ban- tuas and Buaresing. people of the Sultan four generals and their aides. If you don't care to go from here come to this place and the sultan and panadungan will take care of you. for you are a lot of hogs. that eat hogs and in presenting yourselves at Bacoiod look out for we shall go to fight you
 Thes advices show that neighbors of the Bacoiod chief are quite friendly to the Americans. the sultan of Uato having visited camp Vickers.

WHY IS CHINA PooRp
Natural and Artificial Causes Of a
 Great Nations Poverty.

Natural and Artificial Causes Of Q
 Great Nations Poverty.
 Pail Mall Gazette.
 One of inc greatest disabilities under which China labors as a nation is as sim ple as 1t is sad. An immense proportion of its population very rarely get meal sufficient either in quantity Of nutrltive mower, Hundreds of benevolent foreign CTS both of the mercantile and missionary orders, are constantly seeking in scat tered spots throughout the vast realm to mitigate the chronic distress of the poor est sections. Especially has philanthropy been effective in relieving the abnormal pressure consequent on drouth and floods Obviously, however, external help can do next to nothing to meet normal con- dition of insufficient aliment extending over a very extensive land and involving an enormous population.
 One of the cases of Chronic and mas sive indulgence in China throughout most of the interior is the utter stagnation for ages of civilization. The development of this mighty race was long since arrested, and though the nation is not decadent it's conditions are stereotyped, and China is in a state of permanent childhood Every linguist we'll understands that this accounts for that colossal pathological curiosity, the Chinese language. It has never got beyond the monosyilahic stage and Is mere language of overgrown ba- bies. This condition of arrested develop ment lies at the root of the appalling pcy- erty of the masses In a country which nature designed to be incalculably veal thy. China Is not, like central Asia, land of savage. bowling wastes. It Is one of the most fertile and flowery part of the earth's surface almost throughout the entire area. And, moreover, it's peo- ple are the most industrious agricultur- ists in the world. and have been so for many centuries. Fruit and vegetables are much more abundant and exist in much greater variety than we are favored with In our own country.
 Notwithstanding these magnificent nat ural endowments, what Is the state of things in the "Flowery Kingdom?" From lack of anything like scientific cultva- tion the quality of nearly all fruits is exceedingly poor, and only the splendid sunshine and the atmospheric conditions compensate for the lack of skill. Apples, pears, aprIcots. peaches. nectarines. plums. cherries. grapes and persimmons are almost everywhere grown in immense

GRAY IS NoN-co1E1GrTTALA
Birmingham Man May or May Not
 Ask for Place,

blrmlngnam Man nay or may Not
 Ask for Place.
 IT. B. Gray of Birmingham, who has haen mentioned as a probable applicant for appointment on the Alabama Railroad Commission was in Montgomery yester- day. While here Mir. Gray saw Governor Jelks.
 Mir. Gray on being asked said he was not prepared at this time to say whether he would or would not be an applicant for a place on the Railroad Commission. There was ample time in the Future. he said. for an announcement of his intsn- ton to be an applicant for membership on the Commission should he so decide.
 It Is capitol gossip that Jefferson Coun- ty will probably have three applicants for membership on the Commission. It is said that Hon. Robert J. Lowe Judge J. !. Banks and Colonel H. B. Gray, one or all. may ask Governor Jellks for an appoint ment on the Commission. None of them has formally done so, however.
 The number of possible candidates from Jefferson County 1t is said, have left the local leaders in an embarrassing position.

GERMAN WAR ESTIMATES.
What Will Be Spent on the Army

Berlin. Jan 6.-The army estimates show a recurring expenditure of Sli2.o4o. .2o3. The naval expenditures show 23.349. o42, aga nst Si46.342. 332. The n6n-recurring naval expen- ditures include S26. le5, ,25o for ship building and nrmaments, an increase of S4i2,250 com pared with 1909.

 The increase in the army estimates is to bs devoted to improving details of the service. Twenty-Five thousand dollars has been got apart for experimenting with field automobiles.

 Next to the rugs the silver industry stands conspicuous. but while the women in most cases do the weaving the silver smith is always a man. All of his tools are of the most primitive sort, but under his skilled fingers rings. bracelets, belt buckles, buttons. trappings for brides and saddles and necklaces with wonder CTS burst into really radiant bloom. Many of the designs are artistic in the extreme. Turquoise and silver is a favorite and happy combination. the beautiful blue of the gem showing most effectively against the rich, warm bronze of the skin.
