Worth Working For.

If the big new vessels which Presi-
dent j. J. Hill of the Great Northern
Shipping company is building meet
with the success hoped for, they will
open new and most valuable market
for American products. The Boston
Herald, after abiding to the trium-
phant way in whi;h MIR. Hill built uD
Il great railroad business in the face
Of what seemed insurmOuntable Oh
stacles, says of this latest venture:
1t is believed by most persons who
have studied tt e problems of Asiatic
trade that 10 will be long time be-
fore the Chine Sc and the japanese cap
be persuaded to abandon tie use of
foods they now live upon for the pur-
pose of taking up those with which
our great northwest can supply them.
Mr.. Hill has apparently come to the
conclusion that the human nature in
Asia is not greatly different from hu-
man nature in other parts Of the world
and that, if the Japanese and Chinese
find that they can get the food ele-
ments they need from America wheat
and corn at lower prices and under
more favorable conditions than they
now secure these by the almost IN
iversal use of rice, they will tai q
wheat and corn in preference to the
latter, and, in consequence of their
number, will take them in almost
unlimited quantities. 1t is on the
basis of this belief that he has plan
ned and built these enormous freisI t
carrying steamers, and the use that he
can make Cn them will be watched
with great interest for the reason
that, if his expectations are realized.
an immense eastern market will be
open to the farmers residing west of
the Mississippi River.
The experiment is worth trying,
and if it works all right, will be
another illustration of what can be
accomplished by American enterprise
and energy. 1t is said that man is
benefactor of his race who makes two
blades of grass grow where one grew
before. If Mr.. Hill and his ass oc iates
can succeed in inducing the Asiatics
to use American grain and flour where
only rice was known before they will
have given big boom to American
industry"

ROYALTY INTERESTED.
Wright Has Powerful Protection in IN.
fluentiai Quarter.

London, March 17.-John Flower,
chairman of the shareholders commit
tee which tnstigated the prosecution
of Whitaker Wright, the director OF
the London and Globe Finance cor
poration, who was arrested Sunday on
his arrival at New York from France,
says:
81 see Wright is quoted as saying
he had a powerful protector TN an eX-
allied quarter. That statement is not
new to US. 1t is the keynote of the
whole case. Prior to the failure of the
London and Globe certain persons
maintain Wright had in his possession
letters from leading members of the
English royal family showing they
were mixed up in his transactions.
We have no documentary proof of this.
Wright himself is probably the only
man in the world who could prove it,
If he has such letters they ought now
to be in the possession of the New
York police, as we suppose they
searched his effects, and Wright IL
not likely to let such a powerful weap-
on of defense out of his personal keep
ing. Within few weeks the chief is
sue in the Wright case will be the
wise, of the most exalted personages
in the empire in Wright's financial and
other schemes. We do not anticipate
any difficulty in obtaining his extradi-
ton, but if what Wrights friends
maintain turns out to be true his gen,
uine prosecution will become
An Extremely Delicate Matter.
We believe, however, that the lawyers
at present engaged will shift the matter
to the bottom regardless Of any cou-
siderationS."
Referring to the interview with
Wright published in the New York
Herald Mr.. Flower said:
81 quite sympathize with Wright
when he says the failure of the London
and Globe was due to the treachery Of
others. There is no doubt of that.
But it must be remembered that for
three months prior to the failure,
which Wright says was directly due
to treachery, the London and Globe
had not cent in its locker, yet it
was doing over half million pounds
sterling in speculation at every settle.
ment. The governments decision that
the directors as body could not be
proceeded against does not prevent
Wright, as the prime factor in the
rotten conditions which existed before
the failure, being made to take the
responsibility"
Attorney General Finley, in the
house of commons, said the crown
would pay the cost of the extradition
of Wright and the payment by the
crown of the whole expenses of the
proceedings would be considered. His
prosecution, however, would be left in
the hands of the official receiver of the
London and Globe corporation.
