ITS DISPOSITION.

When an animal is killed on an English railway the nearest station master is required to send to the headquarters of the company a re- port of the accident. This is made out on a printed form, with blank spaces to be filled in by the station master. On one occasion a newly installed sta tion master found himself confronted with the necessity of making out his first report. Although it was a new experience, he described the cow and the circumstances accurately. and all went well down to the last line, when he discovered that he had neglected 60 question the owner of the COW con cerning one important point. It seemed safe, however. for him to rely on his own judgment, and he did it. The line was headed: Disposition of Carcass" Underneath he wrote with

The Chinese Exclusion Order.

President Roosevelt has taken prompt and effective measures to remedy the abuses complained of in the administration of the Chinese ex- clusion laws. Reports of undue harsh ness in the treatment of Chinese sub jects applying for admission at our ports have been spread abroad. and have led to talk in Chinese trade cir cles of reprisals against American merchants and American commerce. Chinese susceptibilities have been wounded, not so much by our purpose to bar out the coolie laborer Cfor that feature of our national policy has been more than once assented to by the Chinese government, as by the over rigid entry tests applied to travellers, merchants, students and others clear ly entitled to admission. Under our present laws persons belonging to the exempt classes can take out certiff- cates, vised by the Chinese govern ment and by an American consul of ffCer, and on these certificates they have d prima, facie right to enter our ports and travel freely within our bor- ders. But the trouble has been that many fraudulent exempt certificates have been issued to Chinese who were really laborers. and officials in the irn-

selves against such substitutions, have been forced in many cases to go be- hind the applicants credentials and insist on his giving more thorough and satisfactory proofs of his identity. It is easy to see that overzeal to de- tect fraudulent practices might lead to abuses from which the bona fide ex- empt would unjustIy suffer.
 The presidents order goes to the root of the difficulty. It puts the blame for the traffic in bogus entry certifi- Cates where it belongs, on the shoul- ders of the officers who issue the en- try papers. Greater care in the en- dorsement of certificates taken out in China would save the inspection off ciaIs here a vast amount of anxiety and labor. The president, therefore, directs American consular officers in China to make it their business to dis cover the true character of every ap- plicant for an entry permit. Undoubt- edly there has been much laxity in the past, identification papers being often signed as a matter of routine and
 
 Consular officers in China must un- derstand hereafter that the viseing of exempt certificates is one of their most important functions. and that careless ness in approving entry papers will be considered a gross breach of duty. Hereafter, too. the Chinaman who presents a duly signed certificate will be held to have a prima facie right of entry-a right which will not be challenged by the immigration inspec- tor unless there is strong counter evil dence to show that the paper has CT is an imposter.
 No possible objection can be made to this new arrangement. It relieves the government from the embarrass- ment of seeming to contest credentials issued by its own agents. It estab- mission, and puts the burden of proof. not on the applicant who has fulfilled the letter of the law, but upon the in specting service which challenges his identity and standing. Under the pres ident's order bona fide Chinese trav- eIers. students and merchants need not fear to be treated as blockade run ners and suspects. They will enjoy the rights and privileges accorded by law to travellers, students and mer- chants of any other nationality. We have undoubtedly been doing our Chi nese visitors a certain amount of in justice. The system they complained of was illogical and negotiable, and the president has found a common sense way of amending it. Better re- lations with China are certain to come the abatement of needless and long standing cause of friction.

THE COST OF WIRELESS"

Estimates would show that a wire less system can be established, operated and maintained at from 1 to 5 per cent of the cost of telegraph and cable sys- tems. Even after construction the tel egraphs and cable cost tremendously for maintenance, while the current ex- penses of wireless are extremely light The annual cost of cables is $100 per mile; the cost of land wires S30; of wireless $5. "In three years" says Professor Fessenden, the cost of a wire line will amount to more than the total cost of installing a wireless sys- tenn. ."-The Worlds Work.

The Awakening of Asia.

A correspondent of the New York Sun gives the following facts about the impending yellow peril:"
 The effect of the continuous success of the Japanese against Russia is spreading so widely among men of color the world over that a general revolt against the domination of the white races in some form is a thing to , be looked for. As an instance, the college at Lahore. in British India, founded by the Arya Samaj in memory of Swami Dayanada Saraswati, has 7 opened classes for technical arts and physical science, and for the teaching of French and Japanese. For in struction in the latter language the services of a professor in the Impe- rial university of Tokio have been en- gagged, while a stimulus has been giv- en to the sending of young Indians to Japan to qualify for positions in fac tories and mining industries in India. :; At the present moment a number of Indian students are in this country working in establishments, perfecting
 
 trical machinery and various arts.
 But it is not the more highly de- Veloped intelligence of Asia only that is preparing to enter into the material field in competition with the white man. The relatively undeveloped Af- rican is beginning to assert himself. and the cry of Africa for the Africans
 
 first manifestations of the revolt are in the development of what is called Ethiopianism in the Christian com munities. in the rejection of white con- troI in the administration and services of the churches. This movement is strongest in South Africa, but is spreading into West and East Africa.
 It is asserted that from one of the stations of one of the American mis- . sionary societies a request was lately received for the withdrawal of it's missionaries and the closing of it's eS- tablishment. In rather plain language Vte signers of the request made it un- derstood that they had enough of the white man. The same spirit is show ing itself in the Cape Colony, where one of the most influential native pa peFs arraigns the churches for throw ing their influence into politics; and in West Africa the people are called on by some of their leaders to leave the missionaries alone, as their in nuence has not been in any way con ducive to their material political pro gress; and the wonderful development of Japan, a non-Christian nation, is held up to admiration.
 Even among Mohammedans there is a tendency to come out of their shell and to study the literature of other people. remarkable instance is the translation of the Iliad of Homer into Arabic by one of the students of the Gordon college at Khartoum. The work is said to have created such furore among Arab and Egyptian stu dents and others that the copies of it have been sold as fast as they could be turned out
 Who can tell what the effect of all these new movements, generated by the outstanding of an Asiatic race against the lordly European and the dissemination of new ideas. will be in a few .-ears?
