OUR TRADE IN CHINA
DISCUSSED BY AMERICAN
 ASIATIC ASSOCIATION.
Secretary Foord of Opinion That Russia Should Be Compelled to Carry Out Agreement to Evacuate Manchuria.

New York, Oct. 1s.-The following of- ficers were chosen at the annual meeting of the American Asiatic Association to- day: President, Silas D. Webb. New Pork; Vice. Presidents, Lowell Lincoln, New York; John H. Converse. Philadelphia; Everett N. Bee. San Francisco; s. G. Hopkins, Washington; John B. Cleve- land, Spartanburg. s. C.; E. c. Potter. Chicago and Ellison A. Smythe, Pelzer s. C.; Treasurer. James s. Fearon, New York; Secretary, John Foord, New York.
 President Webb in his address called attention to the completion of the Pacific cable and the signing of the new treaty with China. Both events he said, are of great benefit to the country. In con- nection with the Chinese situation, he said that the attitude of some of the European power, Russia in particular. should be at present cause of much solicitude and he advised an emphatic ex- pression of views on this subject to the administration.
 The commercial situation he thought was generally disappointing. the political uncertainties in Japan tending to mako merchants and financial interests eau tious, while in China political confusion
 with the advance in silver had made mer- cantile ventures too much of a lottery for the careful investor.
 The report of the secretary, John Foord also laid emphasis on the Manchurian

THE HARTMAN LINES.

A Hundred Millions Spent Upon
 Betterments in Three Years. New York special to New Orleans Pica- < yune.
 More than s1o4.ooo, 900 has been spent within the last three years upon better ments, line changes and equipment for the aggregate Hartman Railroad Sys- tenn, according to an official estimate made by J. c. Stubbs. traffic director of the system. Mir. Stubbs, speaking of these expenditures said
 The aggregate expenditures of all the companies-more than $4O0000. .0O0-will be greatly increased by appropriations for work now under way. and is more than the total estimated expenditures for the completion of the Panama canal
 Despite the fact that more than $40,- 000, 900 has been spent in the last threee years for new locomotives and cars, the volume of traffic is greater than the fa- cilities of the Hartman Lines for hand ling it. This is especially true of the Southern Pacific. The Union Pacific is perhaps in the best shape, so far as equipment is concerned, but 1t has no surplus of cars or engines.
 Trafic and operating officials of the Hartman System have been conferring recently as to methods to be employed to get the best results possible from the vast expenditures. A standard has been adopted for all equipment to be used by the Hartman Lines. that there may be no trouble or delay in the interchange of cars with through traffic.

 The nature of the demands formulated as conditions precedent to withdrawal" the report continued, Suggests that they have been purposely made impossible of acceptance. in order to justify a continued occupation.
 "The time has evidently come for the government and people of the United States" MT. Foord said, "to recognize and accept the full measure of their responsibility in dealing with this aues- tion. That the substitution of Russian for Chinese sovereignty in Manchuria simply means the beginning of the parti- ton of the Chinese Empire does not ad- init of doubt; that the United States has nothing to gain, but very much to lose from the ports of China among the great powers of Europe needs no demon stration. The question immediately be- fore our government is the preservation of an open market for American products in Manchuria and it has been intimated that so long as our commercial rights | there, secured by treaty with China. are respected by the power in possession. we DTOIRAE But the Manchurlan market, existing

 The acquisition of the Philippines and the construction of the isthmian canal would be meaningless If the trade of Asia Is not to figure largely in calcula- tions for the future commercial develop ment of this country"
 Mir. Foord declared that his government must act now with unmistakable decision If its interests in eastern Asia are ever to be held worth action.
 He recommended that these considera- tions be brought to the attention of the government and also the various prose- cution of popular education on the sub ject. To the condition of political un- certainty and suspense due to the policy of Russia in the far east, he attributed the protracted depression in the American export trade with China.

Reductions on Many Roads.

A dispatch from New York says:
 Tt is expected that between now and Nov. 1, nearly every railroad in this country will discharge some of it's em- ployes. Such action. it is explained. is not unusual at this time of year, but a larger number of men will be dismissed this fall because the railroad companies have been working abnormally large forces since early last spring. A natural falling off in traffic is the reason gener- ally assigned for these railroad dismiss sals.
 Easing their estimates on the reductions already announced, experienced railroad men say that between 15, 900 and 10000 men will probably be laid off by the railroads throughout the country this fall There are about 1.250.000 railroad employees in the United States. Vice President Brown, of the New York Central. thinks that about 2.500 men may be dropped from the payrolls of that sys- tenn this month. About 1,500 shopmen. trainmen and trackmen will be discharg- ed on the Pennsylvania system. The Atchison. Topeka and Santa Fe operating department will lay off about 1,500 men this month.
 Not less than 5000 employees will be dispensed with on the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific system between now and December It Is probable that all or the tTanSCOntlne0tdI lines VIII cut down their working forces soon after the crop shipments are over.
 The Illinois Central will curtail it's op- erating force anywhere from 600 to l. SO0
 The Lake Shore will dismiss nearly l. 900 men this month. and the Michigan Central about half of that number. About 300 of the Lake Erie and Western employees will be laid off on Nov. l. The Erie management has already dismissed several hundred men. and there will be a still further reduction. The West Shore will lay off about 300 men, and the Boston and Albany an equal number.
 New York, New Haven and Hartford about 1,0OO The Missouri Pacific and oth- CT Gould lines will reduce their working forces 6lightly, but there is to be no cessation in works of extension and im- provement The Wabash expects to in- crease rather than diminish the number of its employees on Pennsylvania improve ments.
