Attend Japanese Schools

An indication pointing to the grow
ing influence of Japan in China is
found in the fact that 11,OOO Chinese
students are now in Toxic striving to
secure from the government institu-
tions and private schools the western
learning.
The Young Mems Christian associa-
tion In Shanghai has seen the signif-
icance of this movement and has sen t
two American and three or four young e
Chinese Christians TO Toxic to keep in
touch with this group of Chinese stu
dents. AS some Chinese students are
returning from and going to Toxic
each month, at least $1,000 young Chi
namen will pursue their studies in the
Japanese capital in 1906.
AS these young men will furnish the
future Yuan Shi Kais. Chang Chic
tungs and Wu Ting Fangs of China,
one can readily see the influence
which the Jananese will acquire in the
Chinese empire. At least two or three
thousand of these young men would
have studied in the United States had
it not been for our harsh enforcement
of the exclusion law.
1t now looks as if Japan will become
the schoolmaster of the orient, as Ger
many has been the schoomaster of
| Europe and America. But the United
may lead the race after it is out of
! school,

PostoffIces Increased

Another sign of the times is the in
crease of the postoffces and the null
tiplication of newspapers, especially
along the eastern side of the empire.
The postolfices have increased from
about one hundred four years ago to
some eighteen hundred today.
The number is still pitifully small,
but the rate of increase is a just cause
of surprise and a striking indication of
progress. In Tientsln, four years ago,
three newspapers were published. To-
day tWenty-three newspapers are pub
lished in that northern port 1t is at
least significant that the only newspa-
per on earth published by woman and
for women Is now published In Pekin.
The Manchu court has always been
opposed to bound feet and Compara-
lively few women who gain access to
the court have submitted to this early
torture. few months ago, however,
an imperial decree was issued exhort
ing parents not to bind the feet of their
daughters. on the dowager empress
being informed the other day that the
decree relating to bound feet was haV-
ing no influence among the provincial
authorities, another decree has been is
sued saying that in the future no men
will be taken into the employment OF
the Chinese empire whose wives or
daughters have their feet bound
1t Is uncertain when this latest order
will go into effect and whether II will
be strictly enforced.
6arbarlsm Approaches End
Nevertheless, the fact that several
Viceroys are following in the footsteps
of the imperial decree and that the au-
thorities at Pekin are demanding that
the others comply with the imperial
mandate, leads to the impression that
this form of oriental barbarlsm may
be approaching it's end.
A more striking indication OF the
adoption Of not only western civiliza-
tion but of Christianity is found in the
decree just issued by Chang Chih Tuns
ordering the New Testament to be in
troduced into all the schools of the
Hupeh and Human provinces. over
which he rules.
The decree states that the perma.

BELIEVES INTERVENTION
IN CUBA INEVITABLE
2 Associated Press.

PARIS, Sept 16.-Lively interest Is
manifested here over President Roose-
velt's decision to send Secretary of War
| Taft and Secretary of Gtate Bacon to
Cuba and many of the newspapers jump
| to Il conclusion that this will sound
| the knell of Cuban independence.
In responsible circles, however the
right of the United States under the
| treaty with Cuba to restore order is
recognized but there is no disposi-
tion to impute to the Washington gov
| ernment desire to seize the occasion
to annex the island. Nevertheless, 1t is
thought by some persons that even If
| the wise counsel of the president is
| followed and the rival factions tempo
rarily bury the batchet. there will be
ar early recurrence of the insurrection
which will compel ultimately annexa-
tion.
The Temps. which frequently reflects
the views of the foreign office, says
that while American commercial inter-
ests, in the belief that they are injured
by the commercial treaties Cuba has
negotiated with other powers, undoubt-
edly hope the present imbroglio will re-
suit in annexation the position of the
government is very reserved.
Believes President Is Sincere
president Roosevelt is a man of
honor, who will keep his word" says
the Temps. He gave liberty to Cuba
and will not take the first opportunity
to withdraw it. Besides, he is a man
of experience and knows what possess
sion of the Philippines cost and con-
tinues to cost the United States.
"Cubans as citizens or subjects are
not easy to govern. Unless the unex-
pected happens it is safe to affirm
therefore that America does not con-
template laying violent hands on the
island. but only intends to safeguard
American interests and demonstrate to
the Cubans that it will be but a matter
of hours if it desires to impose its will.
1t probably will require the appearance
of American warships to induce the
Cubans to accept President Roosevelt's s
excellent advice.
But, unfortunately. a settlement of
the present difficulties will not be def
mite, and the Cubans, who, during four
years, have surprised Europe by their
prosperity and tranquility, will return
to their old vice.
"Such relapses are rarely isolated.
This is a grave feature of the stua-
ton and one we deplore in a people
who always have received French SYM
pathy and friendship"

SHANGHAI. China, Sept. 15.-A COM
petent authority on the Far East de-
clares the Chinese have made more
progress during the last fvI years than
any other nation on earth, not except
ing Japan.
lie admits that China has not made
such advance In iron and coal pr0duc-
tion as has the United states, but ne
contends that China has made a WIDER
and more profound change in her
whole attitude toward western civiliza- p
tion than has any other nation.
The latest proof that Chinas face Is
set toward progress is found in the I'M
perial decree issued last Sunday prom
Using a change of laws. While this de-
cree does not promise a constitution,
as careless readers have inferred new
erthcless It points i'm that direction.
A more vital indication of progress
is found in the recent imperial decree
making some mastery of western learn
ing condition of future employment
i'm the government service. This decree
does not affect existing office holders,
and does not apply to candidates for
office who have already completed the
prescribed course of Confucian learn
ing and have received the first and sec
OllQ degrees
But the significance of the decree is
found in the fact that it prescribes the
identical condition for future candi,
dates for Office which the young EN-
peror prescribed eight years ago and
which led to the Boxer uprising. 1t is
significant that the dowager empress,
who then retired the young emperor
for his radicalism, now issues in his
name the identical decree which pro-
duced the revolution.
Many Schools Established
A still more striking sign than this
paper decree is found in the fact that
Yuan Shih Hal, the leading viceroy of
the empire, has already established
more than five thousand primary and
secondary schools in the Chill province,
in order to prepare the young people of
his province for the new government
courses.
He is attempting to introduce west
ern Tearing and indeed the English
language into these schools as rapid
ly as possible. This creates a strong
demand for American teachers, but
the pay is too low to justify young
people coming from the United States
to accept these minor positions
In lieu of American and English
teachers the Japanese are being en-
ployed TO teach western learning and
in some cases the English language.
The "pidgin" English which is taught t
by some of the Chinese scholars would
indeed be laughable were it not for
the fact that the introduction of the
English language may possibly be-
come general, and if so may carry with
1T the introduction of western civiliza-
tion.
AS Alexander's adoption of the
Greek language enabled that con-
quered nation to transform the civiliz-
alton of western Asia; as the
adoption of Roman law and the
Latin language by the Mortimer car
ried with 1t Latin Christianity through
out Europe, so the prevalence of Eng
lish speech in China during the mex
few years will carry with it western
sciences and civilization.

Low temperatures brought ont
much business in reasonable lines of
wearing apparel and most reports from
wholesalers tell of the largest volume
of trade ever transacted. Shipping de-
partmeuts are limited in activity by
inadequate railway facilities and this
difficulty is aggravated by free move

advances.
In the leading industries it is i'm
possible to secure prompt deliveries,
even contracts for shipment during the
first quarter Of 1907 being difficult TO
place with steel mills, and the lassi-
tude in primary markets for cotton
goods has been succeeded by engerness
