WHERE THE SHOE PINCHES.
The People Who Feel Most Kcenly
the Continued Business Depression.

tFrom the Wall street Journal)
The people who are beginning to
feel most keenly the effects Of the
failure of business to revive are those
who depend upon the payment Of
stock and bond dividends for their
income. The par value of stocks of
into receivers hands since Jan. ag-
Eregates nearly 100000. 900, proba-
bly, half of which had up TO that time
been paying some rate or other Of
dividends to their holders.
Then there Is a considerable list of
bonds which have defaulted in their
regular interest payments during the
past seven or eight months for one
reason or another. Such is the Cen
trail OF Georgia bonds, on which so
many people in years gone by de-
pended almost as comfortably as up
on State security. The failure of
the Pennsylvania Coal & Coke Com
pany, with s13.0o0.OOo of bonds de-
faultad. strikes at another point of
the financial system where weakness
Is revealed. When commercial and in
dustrial activities lag. the fuel COM
panies suffer because their demand
make them think hard to meet fixed
charges.
| Another quarter exhibiting signs Of
distress Is the passing OF one Of the
great Northwestern -four milling COM
panies into receivership. The hour in
dustry has for two years or more had
to do its business on the hand-to-
mouth plan. buying wheat at high
prices and selling flour with difficulty
at any considerable advance. In this
as in other Industries 1t has been
found harder to reduce costs Of manu-
| featuring materials than to raise
prices Of manufactured products to
cover exchanged material costs.
The food product industries which
consume oats and corn have found it
economical to import, In an expert
mental way at least. both corn and
cast These instances illustrate the
hard task to which manufacturer
with proper exceptions has been put
under existing conditions of prices.
Meanwhile. however, prices for pro-
ducts are gradually recovering, and
this may save some concerns which
have yet to give account Of them
selves as earners of income for
| estates, individually and other invest
ors who have laid by their savings In
the form Of stocks and bonds in In
dustriai and commercial establish
ments. Failure to pay regular fixed
charges materially reduces the pur-
chasing power OF this class OF inter
ests, and their loss of commercial
capacity will be increasingly felt until
business revives and restores divt-
dends.

THE CONGO QUESTION SETTLED.

(From the Springfield Republican,
The Congo question enters new stage,
with the passage by the Belgian chamber
Of deputies of the treaty OF annexation.
It is pious wish that the question Is
finally settled and that It may never more
bother the civilized world. The substitu-
ton of the Belgian government, re-
sponsible ruler, for King Leopold. who
has hitherto been able to assert n per-
sonal proprietary ownership In the entire
Congo Free State. Is step that ought 70
have important and benehcent results.
inasmuch as Belgium Is neutralized
State in the European system and there
fore more than the ordinary sovereg n
nation Is amenabe to the influence ~
the great powers II atrocities and malad-
ministration continue IN the Free State.
moreover, Belgium could more easily be
brought to account through the action
of public opinion upon constitutional
ministry, than can dictatorial proprie-
tor like the king. The world is not likely
to see the Congo suddenly transformed
into a Central African paradise, for it Is
possible TO crticise the adjoining colonies
Of the French and Germans, and the Bel
CLANS are not likely to improve much ~
on French and German colonial admin
lstration; but undoubtedly the worst 10
over.

orr FLEET IN AUSTRALIA.
(From the Manchester (Eng) DIS
patch.)


patch.)
This fraternizng of Anglo Saxons he
meath the southern cross is a matter wor-
thy of every Englishman's consideration,
for there are linked UP with 1t all kinds
of questions Of foreign and colonial pol
lev. and one question. at least which Is
as wide as the world itself-the future
position Of the yellow races.
First and last. 1t Is question Of the
yellow races, OF the Chinese and the
Japanese. Rightly or wrongly, our Aus
tralasian brothers detest these two races,
and more than that. they fear them. AS
vet their own numbers are scanty. and
they know quite well that the vast tracts
Of Australia are infinitely attractive TO
both the Chinaman and the Jap. To us
the yellow peril is phrase with very
little meaning; to them It is a real and a
h!deous thing. And America shares the
hatred. IL not the fear. ANY one who has
any knowledge of the Western States Is
well aware of tho feelings with which
the Japanese In particular arc regarded.
Here. then, Is common ground upon
which our sons and our cousins may
meet, which leaves us right out In the
japan. and the weakening Of our Pacific
fleet. The fact that the japanese are the
allies Of tho old country does not make
them one whit the less detested In Aus
tralia, and that the alliance is the source
of a deal Of trouble. IT Is not to bt
wondered at that the colonists should
under the circumstances. feel almos
more akin to America than to the coun-
try from which they both sprang.
The obvious conclusion would seem tc
be that the most desirable thing for thi!
! nation IL an Anglo Amertcan alliance
when our agreement with Japan termin
ates. Such an alliance, coupled with thu
growing power of the colonies, would in
sure Anglo Saxon supremacy on all thu
seven seas, and would be no small steI
| toward securing the final peace Of the

STEVENSON SURPRISED.

D. J. Stevenson of FL Paso, brother
of Mrs S. w. French of this city, rep
resenting the n Paso Foundry & Ma
chine company, has been in Douglas
for several days visiting patrons OF
the company on his annual winter
trip through the lower part Of Arizona
and Mexico.
NJ Stevenson left yesterday after
noon for Bisbee, his next stop, and
said that his visit in Douglas had been
more productive than he mad expected
Owing TO the depression in business
which Is said to have been felt SO
Eeenly in Douglas, he said he was
afraid his orders for machinery would
be light. He was very agreeably sur
prised. however, to make number of
large contracts, and for that reason
he is very sanguine that the dull sea-
son which has settled over the city
for some time is about at an end, at
least he thinks 1t must be in sight by
those hign up in the commercial
world. He says that if he does as
well in other cities Of the size he will
be more than satisfied. He will remain
about ten days in Bisbee, returning to
Douglas again before starting out on
quite an extensive tour Of Mexico
