There is another factor in the transatlantic
passenger service which requires careful con-
sideraton This is the emigrant trade. EN-
igrants take the place of cargo TO a large ex-
tent in the westward voyages of the big liners
and may be roughly described as the principal
export from Europe TO America The German
lines have the most convenient bases for col
lecting emigrants In Hamburg and Bremen. and
by making Southampton and CherbOurg ports
of call they are enabled to compete with rival
lines in the same trade. Liverpool, with direct
communication with Hull is also favorably sit
hated for the embarkation of emigrants. Bris-
tol would be a most inconvenient port for this
branch of the transatlantic business. and as
liners going from to ii would be out of reach
of a French port there would be less favorable
conditions for competition in the first class traf
c. 1t is at least problernatical whether the deep
water works so admirably planned and so en-
ergetcally constructed by the municipality will
ever be used by the largest and fastest liners
crossing the Atlantic. and the difficulty of COL
lecting and distributing freight in overseas trade
apparently excludes the big cargo steamships.
II the taxpayers are to be relieved from the
heavy charges which they are now paying for
the enlarged docks and improved shipping facil-
tiles it is likely to be through the growth of the
city, tho establishment or special Industries ana
the development of commerce outside the main
transatlantic routes TO New York. The Lust
tanias and Kaiser Wilhelms may never be seen
in Bristol Channel. but there will probably be
a gradual revival of maritime and mercantile
enterprise IN consequence of the construction of
these costly works. The municipal authorities
have taken serious risks, like the Elizabethan
merchant adventurers In their time. and they
may be justified by the ultimate results.

THE NEW ARMY SCHEME

London, Oct. 26-King Edward, while taxing

occurrence so exceptional as to be unique Inc
territorial army scheme Is the most eApell-
mental feature of Mr. Haldane's ambitions ana
it has either not been understood the revival
of the authority of the lords lieutenant IN the
various shircs has been distasteful to them
The preliminary steps have been taken IN war
wfclssblre and few other counties, but Mr
tJoIdara has found It difficult to interest the
1ocaI authorities and the inertia of conservatism
has NOT been overcome. The King, considering
il a vital element OF the reorganized scheihe Oh
home defence, has commanded the Iuhcueo'
partv. so that his own interest in Strengthening
the territorial army may be known and some
thing like unity may be impaired to the neou-
lous arrangements for the coordination OF the
forces.
1t is a fresh illustration of the skill ana tact
with which he takes advantage OF his oppor-
tunities and sets a new precedent when one is
needed Mr.. Haldane needs the stimulating
effect Of the Kings example. The veterans do
not like the general shaking up which all
branches of the military organization have re-

the old days when there was no army council
and the Duke of Cambridge, with a small force
around him, succeeded in accomplishing the
necessary work without endless consultations
and red tape.
The mysterious disappearance of the crown
jewels from Dublin. where they have not YET
been found after a still hunt. has warned the
Transvaal representatives not TO reveal the
present hiding place of the Cullinam diamond.
It is concealed either in the Bank of England or
some other stronghold. 1t will be presented TO
the King early next month by Sir Richard Sol
ONION and the Transvaal delegation. and the
heavy insurance now paid upon it will be re-
leased
This will be of the most interesting Incl
dents of the reign, since it will be token of the
gratitude Of the Boer colony for the restoration
of the right of self government. AS the King
was largely instrumental in bringing the in
South Africa to close before his coronation,
the diamond is TO be a tribute to a real peace
maker.
The process of turning South Africa over 10
the Dutch will probably be completed at the
next elections in Cape Colony. Meanwhile Lord
Miner has turned active tariff reformer.

back to the Chinese government all it's hold

cry by China of the Hankow-Cant Railway
which was an American concern. and the how
cott Of American goods. Since that time
ceaseless warfare has been waged by the gov
