"Civilizina' Asia.

There are more ways to kill duck
than to choke it to death with butter
Germany is now illustrating this
historic truth in Kiao-chow. Ac-
cording to the London Times, the
German authorities are endeavoring
to shut out the rest of the world
from all mining operations in Shan
tung, and according to our Yankee
Judgment they have pretty well sue
eeeded. They first persuaded the
mandarins to make them this con-
cession for belt ten miles wide on
each side of the railroad, on the sole
condition that those Chinese who
opened mines should be allowed to
continue working them. Germany
accepted these conditions and the
mineralogical representatives of her
foreign Office went to work.
Then the Ethiopian jumped out OF
the woodpile. 1t was perfectly true
the Chinese were to continue working
their mines, but according to the
German reading Of the agreement
they were to continue using their old
methods. The effect is that in their
own country the Chinese are prac-
tically excluded from competing with
foreigners and other foreigners are
excluded from competing with the
Germans. No wonder the London
Spectator exclaims:
What a fate Europe would prepare
for Asia # she really conquered it,"
