CHINA MAKING PROGRESS.
xaAnst1ael and comnsreial Growth
OF Asaa's Greatest Country 10
N Assured Thd14.

Europeans and Americans who have
lived long in China are quite unani-
nous in the opinion that the greatest
country of Asia, taking account of
area, population and natural resources,
is making steady progress Industrial
ly and commercially. apd the general
belief is that more rapid gains are as
sured for the next few years. Statis-
tics of exports and imports tell the
same story. So does the development
of railways and telegraph lines. The
worldwide Importance of this progress
is not easily exaggerated. 1t promises
to insure the existence of the Chinese
empire as an immense independent
state, for it lessons the force OF such
pretexts as might have been discovered
or invented for dividing or selling the
country. It also makes the interna-
tional Importance of China so evident
and SO great that no one European
power is likely to find the way open for
the absorption Of SO rich an empire,
while the more progressive the Chi
nese become the less chance there will
be for an agreement between the lead
ing nations Of the west as to the terms
OF possible partitioning Of the mid
die kingdom.

A letter. received in Paris from

Mile. Cambaceres. descendant of the
famous French general and member
OF one of the leading families in the
Argentine capital, under most dis
tressing circumstances, says a Paris
correspondent of the New York Her
aid. 800
The unfortunate young lady had just
turned 18 years of age, and her birth
day was celebrated by grand recep-
ton. All her friends came to offer
their congratulations and brought
presents.
In the evening Mile. Cambaceres
went up to her room to dress for the
opera. She was in the act of putting
On her hat, when she fell to the
ground, apparently dead.
The funeral took place within "a
hours, as under municipal law corpse
must not be kept longer, on account
of the heat and the danger of decom-
position.
A few days afterward someone start
ed the theory that Mile. Cambaceres
had been poisoned, and the authorities
ordered the body to be disinterred and,
a post-mortem examination made.
When the coffin was opened it was
found, to the horror of every one, that
the veil which covered the face OF the
unfortunate girl was torn and her face
scratched all over. From these facts
it appeared clear that Mile. Cambac-
eres had been buried, alive and had
torn the veil and scra tched her face in
her struggle to get out of the coffin.
The case, though not reported in
the press, has produced most painful
impression in Buenos Ayres, the more
so as Mile. Cambaceres was very pretty
and beloved by all who knew her.

is about 21k feet; therefore 1000 PAGES
must be 10000 feet; consequently Ba

Father Calmet says the tower was 3d..
600 feet high, and that the languages
