TO Offset ChristIanItN.

Is the Empress Dowager Of China at
tempting to check the spread Of Chris
tisnity, and perhaps Buddhism, by max
ing Confucianism a more vital force In
Chinese socitey2.
Secretary Root yesterday made public
letter from w w. Rockhill, Ameri-
can Minister to China, transmitting
three significant Imperial edicts which
are interpreted 10y the American dip!o-
matte representatives ut Peking in that
light. One of the edicts, dated Decem-
Der 80, 1906, raises the rank of Con-
fucius in the national Pantheon and
directs that the highest form of state
worship be rendered to his spirit. The
second edict, dated January c, 1907,
authorizes the creation OF 6 college at
Cheiu, in Shantung, the sage's birth
place, for the study of his teachings.
The third directs that special attention
be paid in all the schools to the teach
ing Of Coniucian ethics.

by STAFFORD White some years ago. The

ibis dinner was brough, out in the Tbaw

ministers throughout the country have
made requests that Bacon be removed.

president OF the New York Life Insur-
ance Company, aud now a member OF
the firm of j. P. Morgan & Co., has sent
to the New York Life his personal check

for the republican campaign contribution
made from its funds in 1904, in connec-
ton with which Mr.. Perkins recently
was made defendant On charge OF lar

advanced the money for the campaign
contribution in 1904, and says that when
the then president OF the company REIN
bursed him there WAS no thought on the

A Billion for Automobiles.

Automobiles, now so common, first de.
their practibility as road We
hicles about nine years ago. During that
time, according 70 the estimates Of NJ
Faroux, French statistician, about 55O,-
900 motor cars have been made and sold.
Until year ago France took the lead
in their manufacture. Last year, accord
ing to M. Foroux, the United States built
10000 of the machines; France, $4,000;
England, $4,000; Germany, $4,000; Italy,
10000, and Belgium, 12,001. In 1901 the
United States built only 3i4 cars, and
that same year France built 23,7l1.
There are 20,2i2 automobiles owned
within 80 miles Of the New York city
hall. NJ. Faroux calculates that a round
billion dollars has been paid for motor
ears since 1898, the year when one of
them, nayigated through the streets, at.
tracted almost as much attention as q
circus parade. 1t was natural that Yam
kee ingenuity should forge to the front
in this industry. but the race with
France was q strenuous one. Rochester
