INTERVIEWED IN LONDON.
Views of Leader of the Chinese Com
missioners.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
LONDON, May S.-Duke Tsai The, the
leader of the Chinese commissioners, now
In this country. has been interviewed for the
first time since his arrival. During the
course of his talk he said:
ut Is well known that the mariners COM
pass was invented in China. Gunpowder
and guns had also their origin In China-a
very harmless beginning there 1t might
have stayed. But on the occasion of our
recent visit to Woolwich arsenal we noticed
how greatly our germ had developed, and
the Idea suggested itself whether We had
benefited mankind In making the discovery
our object Is to study at the fountain
head such foreign methods as may be ap-
plicable to our country, and in the pur-
suance of this object we have the advan-
tage of profting by your mistakes and of
making start at the point you have
reached after many expensive experiments.
I'VE may have lost something through
our hardness. but we shall gain by the ex-
perience of others.
I'm the matter of railways, for example,
our Investigations have brought to our
knowledge that some railways pay II per
cent. This is the sort of railway that is
eminently suited for China. There are other
railways, on the contrary, that pay nothing
at all. The construction of that sort of
railway may for the moment be left out of
consideration.
ing the constitution of your country. and a
visit to the houses of parliament has en-
aLbled to see the machinery. of govern
ment in motion. In China. at present, there
is no direct way of gauging the opinions
and wishes OF the people. Some day the
means of learning their opinions will come,
and some method for giving expression to
their wishes will be evolved"

SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT.
Vtceroy of Canton Making Tour of
Inspection.

Special Cabiegram TO The Star
HONGKONG, May 8.-The Viceroy Ts'en
left Canton last week for the ostensible pur-
pose of making a tour of inspection of the
province The real reason, however, for his
departure affords an instructive example OF
tho Chinese system of government. Under
orders from the throne, the Marking vice.
roys delegate arrived in Canton with in
structlons to inquire into and report upon
the causes of the recent friction between
the viceroy and the merchants and gentry
with regard to the provision of funds for
the proposed railway between Han-kau and
Canton under native control. The viceroy
does not condescend to meet the delegate
and therefore absents himself. Meanwhile
official views and public opinion in the three
provinces concerned continue to disagree
and the whole question Is in a state of
hopeless confusion.
The viceroy proposes to memorialize the
throne to remove the capital of Kwang- 81
from Kwoi-lin to Manning, and prepara-
tons are now being made TO establish a
settlement and to open a custom house at
the latter place. Exports report that the
prospects of steam navigation of the river
above Wu-chau are not promising. Never
theless the proposed change viii evidently
be beneficial so far as commercial and ad-
ministrative purposes are concerned. 1t IS
noteworthy that Manning was declared an
open port by imperial edict in February
1899

Fight on British School Bill.

In the House of Commons in London yes
terday Augustine Birrell president of the
board of education. moved the second read
ing of the education bill. Although twenty
two hostile amendments had been prepared
precedence was given to the amendment
proposed by George Wyndham. conserva-
tive, who. on behalf of the entire opposi-
ton, moved the rejection of the bill. Mr..
Wyndham said the bill. with It's five parts
and forty clauses, opened UP a field OF acute
controversy. He offered uncompromising
opposition to the measure 1t was. he said,
fiagrantly unjust and violated the princi-
plies of religious equality. Sir Henry Fow-
Ter, liberal, said Mr.. Wyndham had avoided
the true construction and meaning of the
bill The speaker protested against the
language used outside the house of COM
mons against the bill by former Premier
Balfour, Mr.. Wyndham and others. t. P.
O'Connor, Irish nationalist. on behalf of the
Catholic schools, referred to the profound
apprehension the measure had caused. Cath
olfcs he said, felt that 1t would extinguish
the Catholic character of their schools.

LONDON, May San unusually interest
ing instance of second sight has just
been reported from Accrington, Lancashire.
A young woman on her deathbed not only

TO PROTECT HIS THRONE
RUSSIAN LAW PUT
INTO EFFECT.

Another of the Kaleidoscope changes in
the political situation to which Russia is be-
coming accustomed occurred at St. Peters
burg late last night, when. with utter I'M
eXpectedness. the draft of the fundamental
law, which was supposed to have persisted
with the Witte reimge was officially prom
ulSdted ana made the permanent basis OF
The Russian state unalterable except on the
initiative of Emperor Nicolas or his sue
cesSors.
Though the fundamental law has under
gone numerous minor changes, in essence It
remains Identical with the project tele-
graphed on April "a, which evoked a storm
OF anger and condemnation by the domi-
nant liberal party. Published at the pres
ent instant, when the people had been led
to believe that the unpopular draft had
been dropped. and when the dismissal OF
the old cabinet was accepted as an indica-
ton of the desire on the part OF the gov
eminent to join hands with the national
parliament, the news. will arouse still great
er indignation and threatens 10 undo all the
work of Prof. Milukoff and the other constl-
tutional democratic leaders in the cause of
moderation.
The only modification in the constitu-
ton" as published which meets with favor
is the elimination of the provision empow-
ering the emperor 10 fix salaries and PEN
sions of officials, thereby suhjecting even
the judiciary to the possibility of undue
financial influence All the other changes
are in the direction of further buttressing
the imperial power, protecting the crown
lands and properties from interference by
the parliament and giving the emperor
power to conclude loans independently.
should the parliament refuse to pass the
budget.
The Peasant Land Proposal.
The constitutional democrats are deter
mined to win the support of the peasant
members of the national parliament AL
though no bargain has been made, the con-
stitutional democratic congress has made
several notifications of its original agra
rian scheme to satisfy the more radical
democrats OF the peasants.
The project as ii is at present taking
shape Is briefly, not only to supply land to
all landless peasants. but to round out and
make adequate the land of those who rent
or have sufficient land. For this purpose,
IL is proposed to take lands belonging to
the crown, the emperor personally, the
church and private owners In excess of the
fixed acreage.
The question of financing this gigantic
undertaking, involving more than $1,000.
coo 000 OF credit operations. has not yet been
approached in detail.
The amount of land which IT is proposed
shall be distributed can be Judged from the
present holdings. In forty-nine provinces
the crown holds 406. 0s0, 600 acres, the i'm
perial family 19,9S0.G00 acres the church
% $50 coo acres and the big land owners
$50 $50 600 acres, while the peasants, num-
bering about 5000. 600, have 354, s90. 600
acres, an average of about eight per cap
tia.

We must remember that these corpora

but, swept away by the most astounding

THIS CAT ATE CUCUMBER $.
Animal with Strange Tastes Has Bee
Living i- Wells.

A cat t eats cncumbers and
souasbes has inst been discovered IN
the town of Wells ID so far as
known tlere IS not another like it in
York county. The animal has been
living on Elm farm, nich is owned
by Mrs. Ves0 2. Hammond, and for
some years the PEG living on the
place have been troubled by some
animal eating into the cucumbers
and squashes and running a great
many of them. Only the very out
side of cucumbers were left and the
sauashes were faring about as badly.
1t was a long time before it was
discovered what was doing the work.
The cucumbers and squashes were
harvested and it was thought that
they would be all right in the barn.
One day Charles Graves, the hired
man, went into the barn rather
quickly and there found the cat eat
ing away on a ripe cucumber and had
already put one of the squashes out
of business so far as its ever being
made into pies was concerned. Fur
Their operations along this line were
then prevented by the disposition o.
the cat that preferred cucumber
without any vinegar, salt and peppe'
to pure country milk without an.
water in it.
The cat is now in his last resting
place as a reward for being a faith
full mouse catcher. -Biddeford JouI

$500, 900. 900 IN Farm Products.

A bulletin issued by the Department
of Commerce and Labor shows that
the total value of agricultural products
exported from the United States for
the eight months of the fiscal year 1906,
ended with February, was 800, ,000, 900,
as against $57O,OO0.OOO in the same
period of 1900, 1864. 900. 600 in 1902 and
$56s ,OOO, 900 in 1905.
The growth in the exports of agri.
cultural products, says the bulletin,
occurs in all the three great groups
which form the bulk of agricultural
exports, viz: Breadstuffs, cotton and
provisions, the latter term including
meat and dairy products. The gain
in breadstuffs was $40 900 900; in provi.
sions, $39, 900, 900, and IN cotton, $780,
100000. The increase in the exports of
breadstuffs occurred chiefly in the
movement to European countries.
While agricultural exports are larger
in total value than ever before, the
percentage which they form of the
total exports in the eight recorded
months of the fiscal year 1906 is small
er than in any earlier year in our his
tory, except 1905.
The percentage which manufactures
form of exports in the eight months
ended with February, 1906, is 32.S
while they formed but y per cent. of
the total exports in the corresponding
months in 189S
