thing of all to him, he says, was the spread 5f western education. In all important towns, and often in villages, he found schools with foreign equip ment. Many temples are being con verted into schools. The education, though still defective, is an immeasur- able advance on the old methods. The desire to learn is widespread, especial ly the desire to learn English, and any one who has a smattering of English can make living as a teacher. In Kwci-lin he found classes which were taught by @ Frenchman singing English glees to a Japanese harmonium. Eve ry school teaches physical and military drill Outside the metropolitan pro- vince there was no sign of the enforce ment of the opium regulations.

Boston Is encouraged Not that she was discouraged, for she we'll realizes her proud position. But she Is encour- aged because she is going to add to her importance as "a manufacturing cen
 tre." Eugene N. Foss, the Boston cap italst and tariff reformer, is planning
 the construction in East Boston of q number of large cotton mills which will require an investment Of $4,O00,000 or more and give employment to several thousand persons. Mir. Foss says: We are going to start. on a large scale, the manufacture of one of the few staple articles Of trade which remain to us In New England, I mean the manufact- ure of cotton goods, and in East Bos- ton, on the waterfront, where we can get our raw materials by water from the South, and also our coal. The ques- ton of railroad rates and unjust dis- crimination in them, in favor of Phil adelphia and Baltimore, wont trouble us to any alarming degree. We don't believe that the future manufacturing of cotton cloth will be done in the South, and we are willing to invest our capital to testify to our belief. We be- lieve that New England can and will be able to compete with old England, We want some of the foreign trade, and we expect to get it. And the port of Boston will profit largely if our belief proves to be justified by results,

4 LOBBY INCIDENT.

It appears that there is lobby con nected with the Massachusetts legisla- ture, or, at least, around where the leg islature is. IA member of the upper branch of the legislature told the other day how one of the lobbyists worked, or got worked. Refusal to state how you stand on an issue beforehand does- mt necessarily imply that you haven't made up your mind, remarked this member If you make a canvass of conservative members of the legislature you will soon discover that they are very reluctant to advertise their views relative to anything of importance which is pending The reason? Why there are keen lobbyists always hover ing about, who as soon as they hear of your avowed position will run to some corporation that may be interested in bit of legislation and get a fancy price for your vote. Only recently a senator was astounded to learn that $500 had been paid to him through an embassy who acted without authority, and he probably would never have dis covered the trick if he hadn't voted just opposite to what he had told a man in the lobby he would vote.
 This indicates what can happen, and very likely more of 1t has happened than the unsophisticated would think. The statement made by the Massachu- setts senator Is a pretty frank one.
