but during the past year or two he has

In describing the situation Secretary
Taft made public brief statement of
the facts leading up to the present
status. He said:
The moderates determined to force
American Intervention by the resigna ton
of government officers, thus leaving af-
fairs in our hands. President Palma
chose to regard our suggestions as de-
mands and he rejected them emphat.cally.
We acquainted Alfredo Zayas, the lib

undertook to induce his associates to con-
sent to the original proposition of the
moderates- namely. that the insurgents
lay down their arms and submit the en-

part of the government and declined

on retaining their arms until peace was
assured. Zayas' report is indicative of

CHINA TO THE FORE.
Advanced More than Any Other
Eastern Nation I'm Five Years.

Eastern Nation In Five Years.
No eastern nation, not even excepting
Japan, has made greater advances toward
western civilization than has China DUR
ing the past five years. A recent imperial
decree makes some mastery of western
learning incumbent on those who hold
Office. More than 5000 schools have been
established to enable the youths of the
land to comply with this decree. This
creates strong demand for American
teachers. Eleven thousand Chinese stu
dents are now in Toxic striving to obtain
from the government institutions and
schools the western learning. At least
2,O00 or 5000 of these students w,uld
have come to America TO study had it not
been for our immigration laws. Another
sign OF the times is in the increase in
postofhces and the multiplication of news
papers. Four years ago there were only
100 postoffices; to-day there are 1.SOO
In the city of Tien-Tsin four years ago
there were three newspapers. To-day
there are %. An imperial decree has for
bidden parents to bind the feet of their
girl babies. The New Testament has been
ordered into all the schools of at least
one large province, thus putting Christian
ity within reach of at least $4,000. 600
persons. A recent royal decree makes the
Christian Sabbath a holiday. The only
danger now in sight is from the reaction
which may follow these tremendous
changes in the policy of the government.

ChicdUO.

nb;o,ro Autumn activity has
UlllGdQU been entered upon with
the aggregate volume of
commerce making substantial advance.
A temporary drawback is the high tenn
peratures, which prevent seasonable
stimulus in the leading re,iil distribu-
ton, but more satisfactory conditions
mark the industrial and wholesale
branches, production and new demands
making favorable comparison with
those Of year ago. A notable improve
ment appears in the markets for food
stuffs. The greatest activity has deyel-
oped in the buying of fall and winter
merchandise, and shipping departments
are taxed to the utmost upon goods for
the interior and the gulf and PaciIic
points.
Transportation difficulties have be
come more widespread. and accumu.at-
ing delays are placing manufactures
and jobbers at much disadvantage
Railroad managers again are confront
ed with the problems of inadequate
rolling stock. Other factors imposing
hindrances to operating departments
are the intricacies of new freight t.ir-
IFS and cramped terminal facilities.
Lake traffic steadily expands, iron ere
moving in enormous tonnage, while
lumber and grain carrying show better
than a year ago.
The absorption of raw materials Is
undated, and surplus stocks are bat
little in evidence for the customary
winter storage. Factory and building
requirements rapidly reduce lumber
supplies and other construction mate
rial maintains high average cost. The
improved demand for provisions il.
creases activity in the packing indus
try, and factory work remains vers
brisk in heavy hardware, machinery.
electric power, furniture and shoes.

trict numbered twenty-five, against
