NEW YORK, Jan. Negotiations

Population Of China.

FROM the tnllauelpnlA hecOru
Some doubt has been thrown by recent
travellers upon the correctness of the ac-
cepted notion that China is land of tenn
ing population. 1t has been asserted that
the human hives along the seaboard and
the great rivers of China ought not to be
taken as basis for estimates: that in those
parts of the empire which lie off the main
routes of traffic Cthe natural and artificial
watercourses) the population of China IL
comparatively thin. census recently
taken by the Picking government for the
purpose Of assessing taxes to meet the In
demnity payments seems, however to prove
the accuracy of the older estimates. The
census shows that the eighteen provinces OF
China proper contain 407, 1877 3O5 inhabi-
tants; that Manchuria has S50O,OOO and
Mongolia, Thibet and Chinese Turkestan
little over 100000. The total population
of the empire is 426, AT 325, according to
this enumeration. The absolute reliability
of Asiatic statistics is questioned; never
theless, the agreement of the results of the
census with the accepted estimates is so
close as to invite confidence. The state
ment that the Chinese empire contains one
third of the human race will hereafter be
regarded more than ever as an approx
mate truth.

The Englishman has none of that all

the American. He knows only one thing

does not desire to know anything else; far
less is he ashamed Of not knowing it. A
London policeman, If you ask him about
some distant street or building of import
ance, will reply civilly, but unabashed, IT
can't tell you. sir; that is not in my beat. "
An American policeman would know the
fact, and If he did not know it he would
feel called upon to apologize for his ignor-
ance.

History of the Lance.
From the Chicago News.

FROM the chicago News.
Abolition of the lance in the British army
has brought out many comments on its
history. Prince Raymond Montecucoli, one
of the most brilliant military commanders
of his day. called the lance the queen of
weapons and also the most ancient. 1t was
used by the Greeks and Romans. and later
by the knights of the middle ages. Charles
VIII Of France seems to have been the
first to introduce regular lancer regiment
into his army. The corps was abolished by
Henry " owing to the difficulty Of finding
men to serve. So lancers disappeared from
the French army until the NapoleOnic wars.
In the meantime Frederick the Great, hay
ing seen the excellent use made of the
weapon by the Poles had armed part of
his cavalry with the lance, and had ulti-
mately formed a regiment of uhlans. After
the partition of Poland in 1907 many Poles
entered the French service. and body of
Polish light horse was formed, which Ma
poleon in 1909 made into a regiment of
lancers A year later Napoleon formed
second regiment of lancers out of part of
the royal Dutch guard This arming of
cavalry with the lance proved SO success
full that Napoleon created more lancer reg1
ments and attached one to each division
Of cavalry. England did not make any
lancer regiments until after Waterloo.

Razing Manila's Wall,
from the Manila American.

From the Manila American
The walls are going. They are to be
pulled down at last. The eye sore of the
city of Manila has been condemned and
the disease and pest-breeding moat will in
the near future be but part of ancient
history. The walls of the walled city along
the river are to be torn down. In place
will be put a road and the land improved
The moat alongside of the walls will be
filed in after drainage pipes have been laid
and Passig river will be dredged and a
strong river wall put in place.
This was what the civil commission de-
termined upon last night They passed an
act late yesterday that a part of the wall
should be taken down and improvements
made. From the Almacen gate (the
arsenaD to the Santo Domingo gate the
walls are to be RACED and a plendid river
wall Is to be built at the edge of the
river. An outline of the plan has already
been prepared. The plan shows the great
amount of land that is to be reclaimed.
This land will be at the disposal OF the civil
commission and it is understood that after
the roadway has been widened the river
wall will be used landing place. The
street running past the Intendencia build
ing and the Ayuntamiento Is to be widened
and the wall facing the bay of Manila is
to be cut so that the street will pass
straight through from the bridge of Spain
to the Malacon driveway.
