Shanghai China, Sept ia com
petent authority on the Far East dc
elaros that the Chinese have mad,
more progress during the last fiv,
years than any other nation on oartl
not excepting Japan. He admits that
China has not made such advance In
iron and coal production as has the
United States, but he-contendS that
China has made a wider and more
profound change in her whole atti'
tude toward western civilization than
has any other nation
The latest proof that China's face
Is set toward progress is found in
the imperial decree issued last sun
day promising change Of laws.
While this decree does not promisc
constitution, rs careless readers
have inferred, nevertheless it points
in that direction
A more vital indication Of progress
Is found in the recent imperial &C.
cree making some mastery of west

ployment in the government service.
This decree does not affect existing
office holders, and does not apply to

decree Is found in the fact that II

years ago and which led TO the boxer
uprising It is significant that the
dowager empress, who then retired
he young emperor for his radical
ism, now issues in his name the iden-
tcsl decree which produced the rev.
olution.
A still more striking sign than
this paper decree is found in the fact
that Yuan Shh Raj, the leading vice
roy in the empire, has already estab-
lished more than five thousand pri-
mary and secondary schools in the
Chilli province in order to prepare
the young people of his province for
the new government courses. He is
attempting to introduce western
learning and indeed the English Ian

as possible. This creates strong

SUNDAYS GAME AT PENDLE-

Saturdays Game Comedy of Errors
and Strong Hitting by
Both Teams.

The Spokane Indians" have two
additional scalps dangling to their
belts, as the result of playing the Yel-
low Kids. Saturdays game was re-
plete with errors, especially in the
first inning when Spokane scored five
runs, only one of which was earned.
After that the Kids revived and in
their half of the 8th inning swatted
the ball for eight runs. The game
ended with the score of IL to 13.
Sundays game at Pendleton was
hotly contested and the following
account of it is given by the East
Oregonian;
Nearly a thousand people were at
the Matlock grounds yesterday to see
the Yellow Kids play the Spokane
league team in the best ball game that
has been seen here since the palmy
days when Pendleton herself was in
the base ball swim.
1t was good game, and the crowd
got its moneys worth, though it
would have liked it better had the
Yellow Kids won. But in holding
Spokane to the score of to they did
we'll. That they did not win was d ne
more to errors in the outfield than
anything else, for otherwise the play
ing was equal. Ike Butler, who
pitched for the Yellow Kids, was the
equal of Rush, Spokane's twirler,
though the latter's work looked better
because of superior support
1t was scoreless game until the
fourth inning, when Spokane made
two runs. But in the sixth by several
hits and some fortunate bunts, the
Yellow kids brought in three, thus
giving them the lead. 1t was then the
crowd showed its feelings However,
in the seventh inning Spokane took
the lead again by making two more
runs, and in the eighth they did the
same. In the last half of the ninth
hope again rose in Athena breasts
when Butler reached second and
another player made third. But the
game ended with those bases filed.

The beet sugar industry in Michigan

The fight was won in the senate com

termined fight on the part of the friends
OF the Industry who had been defeated
in the house. And the fight was no
easy one in the senate either. The need
of assisting in improving conditions ia
the Philippines is n need which appeals
10 everyone. No fair minded person
can but admit that this country has a
duty to perform there. The result was
that when the administration declared
that the free admission of sugar was
the sole panacea for the commercial re
lief of the islands and brought all the
enormous pressure Of which it is
capable under the lead of the President
to accomplish this end, the outlook for
the American beet sugar industry began
to look gloomy indeed.
