Abolish Bear TRAPS.

Williamsport sportsmen intend to
circulate petitions to the legislature
looking toward the abolition Of bear
traps. The only persons using traps
are those who hunt bears for mar
ket, and sportsmen are anxious that
the bear be more fully protected
than under the present laws. 1t Is
pointed out by those back OF the
movement that the catching of bears
in traps not only tends to exterminate
the species of game but is a cruel
practice, as the animals frequently
free themselves by leaving parts Of
their legs In the trap.-Philadelph

Many Chinese Sailors Employed.
Forty-five thousand Chinese and Las
car sailors are employed on Britich
ships. During the past two years TO-
600 Chinese sailors have been brought
into this country and the number in
creases every year. These are the
figures published by the Seamans'
Union. Havelock Wilson, the head Of
the union, declares that British sailors
must fight this Oriental competition.
He does not believe in an appeal to
parliament, for many of the Chinese
and practically all of the Lascars, are
British subjects, a fact which makes
legislation against them impossible.
His plan is to have the labor unions
combine to prevent any ship employing
Oriental hands from being loaded or
discharged in the ports of the United
Kingdom.
on the part Of the ship owners the
arguments are urged that Chinese
sailors are more faithful, more amen
able to discipline and-a point which
the English Sallormen resent bitterly
are more efficient That they will work
for lower wages, and that their cost
for food and other necesaries is below
that Of white sailors is unquestion-
able, but those are points upon which
the owners, from motives of policy,
put as little stress as possible

who complained of the clause in the
Manchurian loan agreement providing
that future loans should be awarded to
the same parties. This Japan and Rus
STA construed TO mean a monopoly. It
has now been decided by the three
powers named, and France is expected
also to comply, that either clause
an endorsement will be made thereon,
giving in detail the purposes for which
the loan is to be used and assuring
Japan and Russia that the clause COM

nopoly in Chinese loans.
The corporation of the city of Lon
don has had its own way in the mat
ter of the construction of a new bridge
across the Thames river, just below
ST. Paul's cathedral, which in view of
the fact that the city is supplying the
money seems right and proper. When
the city decided that another bridge
was necessary to handle the ever in
creasing traffic between the north and
south of London, a bill was presented
to parliament asking the necessary
permission.
Simply a Business Proposition
The city's proposal provided that
new bridge should be constructed and
that the streets behind st. Paurs
should be widened to allow of the
free passage Of triffic. 1t was simply
a business mans proposition. The
architects and artists, and others who
pretend to a knowledge of art, arose
and declared that If the scheme was
carried out as suggested by the city
a great opportunity of identifying
London would be lost
They proposed that the bridge should
be so built that 1t would approach
opposite the south transcept giving a
new vista OF the dome. Everybody
thought that this would be an i'm
provement, but as it would cost S10,-
100000 more and the corporation did
not have the 100000 900 to spare, they
opposed It. With the powerful support
OF A. J. Balfour, member for the city,
the corporation bill was passed and
the bridge will be built as originally
arranged.

A Word About Reyes.
General Reyes, the candidate for
presedent-wel, what do we know
about him? He was governor of the
state of Nuevo Leon and minister Of
war during the past regime. The gen.
eral impression Of the masses con-
corning his former administration is
very bad one. He has proved one
thing sure and certain, that he was
against the revolution; else, why did
he not show his, hand in time of need?
He never opposed the old regime OPEN
ly, and his patriotism is second only
to his ambitions. The fact that the
Cfentifico party endorses him should
in itself be sufficient reason why we
should avoid him. We have reason 10
fear in him a military despot, who
would not hesitate to attempt a repro
duction of the past.
In regard to DR.. Vasquez Gomez and
not accept the nomination of the presi-
dency, because in so doing they will
show bad faith. and weaken the re-
volutionary aspirations.
Praise for MaderO.
AS to Madero we know his past, his
untiring energy to aid the provisional
government to pacify the nation, and
to give the people their rights We
should stop to reflect what an arduous
task Madero had before him. He had
to respect president de la Barra's
prerogatives as chief executive of the
country, and help the regeneration of
the nation. Had he a greater ambition
than the welfare of the people, he
would have taken advantage of the
times and been eletced president long
ago. He has proved during the trying
days of the revolution, on the battle
field and otherwise that he believes
in a square deal for all And If he
has not befriended indeed those who
were associated with him in the past,
1t is not that he does not intend to
do SO at the opportune time, but
rather, because he does not want any,
one to say or think that he ever
bought or unduly Influenced a vote.
Great men have breat souls. They have
but one way, and that is to act and
think right.
The hope Of the nation is in Ma
dero, the man who championed I'M
flinchinGly the cause of the people
during the stormy days of the revolu-
ton. He is surely to be trusted with
the affairs of the nation in times of
peace. His election means equal right
