CHINESE BANKING METHODS.

Consul Anderson, in the Daily Consul lar and Trade Reports, says that the banking system of China is based upon foreign and native capital, both pro- fitable, but not intimately connected. He says it is hard to get good idea of the banking business before one has obtained a good idea of the empires monetary system in general. His re- port follows:
 It may fairly be said that there are two systems of banking in China, both of them very profitable. One is the native system, which is represented by banks of foreign origin, financing and support The other is the native bank system which has existed for centuries and which does business to-day in much the same manner as did Chinese banks a thousand years ago, There are more or less connection between the two systems, but they are not closely identified. The native banks do Ia discount and loan business and have

M THE NEH SEDAN.

An English newspaper correspondent has been talking with slatin Pacha, the British inspector-generaI of the Sudan. The latter declared that the general conditions and prospects of the coun- try are highly satisfactory. He said that soon after Lord Kitchener's vic tory in 1898 the revenue of the Sudan was estimated at eS,0OO. and e35,Ooo was realized. The budget of 1904 showed estimated revenue" G469,COo, while the realized revenue" was e576, 000 The rule of Lord Cromer was observed that low taxation should be the keystone of the political arch" At the time of the reoccupation of the ter ritory there were only 1000 water wheels, now there are 10000. On rain land the increase of cultivation has been enormous. There are more than 2, 900 acres of cotton. Herds and flocks are numerous. The great problems now are irrigation and communica- tions. A railroad has been begun from the Red Sea to the Nile, joining the Halfa- -Khartum railroad about twenty miles south of Berber Lord Cromer refused to import Indian laborers and insisted on the employment of natives of the country. The lazy blacks have now learned to work steadily. and even nomad Arabs give a certain amount of help. The line, over 92O miles long, will be finished after two and half years work, and opened next spring. There will be two ports-Old Suakin and the new Port Sudan" formerly called "sheikh el Bargh'ub," a splendid har- bor. The connection with the sea will develop the export of gum, corn, cotton, etc. A future work is a canal to con- meet the Blue and White Niles, which would bring S,OOO,OOO acres of the finest soil into cultivation. Slatin Pacha as-
 serts, that, except for the danger aris- ing from wild beasts,a traveller in the Sudan would be as safe as in Europe

4 MEAL.

What is meal? Some people think that a big enough piece of pie is a meal. Others want much more and no pie. Few people would call the ordinary sandwich of commerce meal. A New York judge seems to agree with those who wouldn't. An interesting case to test the requirements of a neal as furnished by saloon keepers, to enable them to sell liquor on Sun days, by making the claim that they are hotel or restaurant keepers, and therefore well within the law, came up the other day in Brooklyn before Su- preme Court Justice Kelly, in the trial of the suit of State Commissioner of Excise Cullinan, to revoke the license was adduced showing that two inspect ors visited the place on two successive Sundays in April last, and ordered whiskey. A sandwich was on the table at the time Loef1er testified that the inspectors ordered a meal and then re- quested drinks, but left before the meal was served. As the jury was in doubt as to what constituted a meal, the judge had them brought into the court room and said: You ask the question, What is a bona fide meal?" That is hard to answer. A sandwich might be a meal for one man, while another would not consider it such. A hotel keeper is justified in serving drinks with meals if it is done in good faith. If a meal is ordered in good faith by customer, and the order is taken in good faith by the hotel keeper, and the customer leaves before the meal is served, the hotel keeper cannot be blamed. Another question you ask is regarding the requirements of hotel to be able to serve meals. Liquor is only incidental to the meals. Because the hotel keeper has 8 well-stocked kitchen that does not give him the right to sell liquor on Sunday without meals. You also ask if a sandwich on table constitutes bona fide meal. I answer ''No.'
 The jury rendered a verdict in favor of the plaintiff, and probably no injus tice was done by the verdict.

THE THTsT PARTIES.

T would rather see my daughter en- ter a gambling saloon than an after noon whist party is the rather start ling remark attributed to one of the la dies Of the ". c. T. U. convention which has just met in Waterbury. While the wave caused by this remark was r6lling over the auditors the speaker went on to say: T make this statement freely because know that my daughter and your daughters would find no attraction in gambling den. while the attractions of afternoon whist are many and great. Whists are made so to lure young women on."
 The testimony of women who know about whist parties increases, and it is not in favor of the parties. It seems to be true that many women play whist as fervently as they love, and cynic might say that they both play and love for money. But of course that isn't so. It is bad enough and dangerous enough for them to play cards for gain
 without loving for gain. When they do
 both it will be time for radical action. And even now it seems time for action against the gambling done by them. The discouraging feature of it is that
 whist parties are thought to be quite respectable and are also quite exciting. Respectable excitement is pleasing to many women, and they will seek it while their lamps hold out to burn. If it should get around that women's whist parties are not respectable most
 of them would stop. But how is it go- ing to get around and get itself be- lieVed?

PRoSPERoUs AND HONEST.

The whole of the new South is pros porous, but all of it isn't as prosperous as Alabama. Notwithstanding the de- crease in the tax rate, surplus is accommodating in the State treasury at the rate of $20O00O year. This sur- plus now amounts to nearly a million dollars, and it is urged that it should be used to pay bonds of the State which mature about January l. Seven or eight millions of debt falls due about five months later. This debt bears 5 per cent, and it is proposed to refund it at 31s per cent. After this financing it is estimated that the present tax rate will produce an annual surplus of SS75,000, which, it is urged, should be appropriated to the public schools In order to accomplish all these things an extra session of the legislature is necessary to make the appropriation to the payment of the public debt, etc
 The rapid increase in the wealth of Alabama is indicated by the growth of the assessable basis. In 1900 the basis was $266,OOO,OOO. In 1905 it is $34O, 100000, and it is growing so con- stantly that if the tax rate is fixed to produce enough revenues for this year, it will produce too much for next year. But the most curious thing about the States finances is the method of keep ing the funds. The States money is not deposited in banks. It is kept in vault in the Capitol, which is guard ed by two watchmen. Although the sum in this vault ranges from $S0O,0OO to $2,OoOO0O, the treasurer who is re- sponsible for it, is required to give a bond for $150,00O only.
 They must be pretty honest in Ala bama. Apparently they haven't yet learned high financiering as it is un- derstood in New York.

The labor element in the cost of garry ing on the business of foreign banks also is large. 4 large number of na- tive clerks are employed b. most of than; but there must be foreign super intendenCe of all this help. and this su- pe-intendence is done almost invaria- ply by men trained in banking in their own country. Such labor costs not only as much as it does in the rsspec- tive countriss from which it comes, but costs enough in addition to make it worth while for the home banker to come to China. Most of these foreign CTS employed in banks in China come out under contract for number of years and when their time is up they return home. Their contracts are libe- raj as rule, both in salary and vaca- ton periods with pay-vacations home being 8 necessity for foreigners. in China. There is a remarkably small amount of embezzlement and theft in the banking business of China when the lack of restraints is considered.

Dr. Baelz, who was a professor in the medical department of the Tokio uni- yersity for quarter of century, and who is now back in Stuttgart, gives an instance of the espionage which pre- walls in Japan. One of his best friends in Tokio was the Russian ambassador, who one day, summoned him to his house, as he was ill. Dr. Baelz re- lnained with him two hours. A few days later war was declared. From that moment the Mikado and his cour- tiers treated him with icy politeness in place of the former cordiality. He finally succeeded in discovering the cause. A local journal had denounced him as a spy. He went straight to court and explained the matter. The Mikado, convinced of his innocence, promptly begged his pardon, and sum- lnoned the editor of the journal re- ferred to, who also had to apologize to the professor.

 Now it happened a few weeks ago that the young married man was ab- sent for about a month from the office and during that time his desk was used by a gay young bachelor in the same department. That was all right, too. But here is where there ap- peared small cloud on the horizon.
