are admirably adapted to statehood if they should decide to model their republic on that of the United States. They will be compelled to do that, for the country is too large and too popu- lous to be fully governed by one par lament.
 The United States should renew it's policy in relation to the territorial integrity of China. This country can win the gratitude of the new republic by insisting that not foot of China shall be seized. This will be aimed at Russia perhaps, and it is well that it should be. Our duty to a sister re- public and our trade interests call for a new assertion of the Hay policy, and it cannot be made too distinct or too -emptory.

 BRUMMELL's LOST SENTENCE

By captain Jesse.
 Beau Brummell had a very odd way of accounting for the sad change which took place in his affairs at this time. ''He used'' observes one of his friends at Caen, when talking about his altered circumstances, to say that up to a par ticular period of his life everything pros pered with him, and that he attributed his good luck to the possession of a certain silver sixpence, with a hole in it, which somebody had given him years before, with an injunction to take good care of it, as everything would go well with him so long as he did, and vice versa if he happened to lose it.
 "The promised prosperity attended him for many years, whilst he held the six pence fast; but having at length, in an evil hour. unfortunately given it by mis- take to a hackney coachman, complete reverse of his previous good fortune took place, and one disastrous occurrence suc- ceeded another, till actual ruin overlook him at last and obliged him to expatriate himself"

Over Sea Railroad to Key West

Key West is 1505 miles from New York, and today the two cities will be tied together by continuous iron rails. For that matter, Havana and all American cities will be hitched to- gether, for the Pullman traveller need not leave his section until he reaches Havana. The ferry is 90 miles wide and Pullman cars are to be ferried across it in vessels of special con- struction.
 The line fits from key to key on concrete piers. All told there are in it IT miles of concrete work. From Knights Key south is one concrete bridge seven miles long. At Long Key is another two and quarter miles long. The last 50 miles of this remarkable railroad is largely built over the sea.
 It is difficult to place a limit upon the usefulness of this extreme south ern extension of our national railroad system. No railroad can be extended | farther south on our main land, and probably no other will ever be extend ed so far. It puts this entire country within easy reach of Havana. The ferry trip will not consume more than four hours, and Havana and Matanzas and other Cuban towns may yet become this country's chief win ter resorts.
 Mir. Flagler of Standard Oil fame has pushed this road to completion and he expects to live to see it a commercial success, and he is over 80 years old. A fine hotel is to be built at Key West and in the meanwhile Havana stands ready to furnish am pie hotel accommodations. No event is of greater interest except the open ing of the canal, and the two will per haps pull together to the advantage of America.

ITALIAN ATROCITIES

From "Tripoli: The Italian Soldiers and
 the Killing of the Arabs" by Frank J.
 Magee in the February Metropolitan.
 With reference to the later stories Of wholesale butchery and ruthless staying filled the whole fthe civilized world with filled the whole of the civilizeg world with horror, there can be no doubt as to the truth of these, in spite of the continued protestations and futile denials of the Italian premier and those in charge of the military operations. Assuming that experienced campaigners and writers of undoubted veracity such as Francis Mc- Cullagh of the New York World, Capt. Ashmead Bartlett of Reuters, also Maj. Lionel James of the Times, are drawing their stories of the atrocities merely from their imagination, there is one factor against which all the denials in the world are useless, and that is the camera, which has portrayed the scenes of slaughter and the results of the vengeance of the Italians in Tripoli. The camera has played part in this war the like of which it has not been called upon to do hereto fore, and it is futile on the part of the Italians to argue against and seek to refute the stories and evidence of indis- criminate massacre so vividly described by the above mentioned able writers, backed up by scenes so infallibly DOT trayed by the camera

F. l. RUFUS IN REAL LIFE

From the Los Angeles Times.
 In the amazing life history of John Grant Lyman, the compilation of which was finished the other day by Postoffice Inspector Raymond Gray, the statement appears that the frenzied promoter of the late Panama Development company, now in jail on McNeil's Island, Is the origi- nal character on which the Get Rich Quick Wallingford stories are based and that his photograph has actually been used in Illustrating the magazine stories. In his account of Lyman's life, which is to be forwarded to the postoffice in spectors at San Francisco, Inspector Gray, the principal agent in bringing Ly- man to justice, has uncovered host of details of the promoters life. covering period of nearly 40 years. Of it's kind, the document is the most remarkable ever compiled here or probably anywhere else.
 It is estimated that, between the time of his birth at Phelps, ontario county, New York. 47 years ago, and his capture at Lakevlew, Oregon, September 29 of this year, Lyman swinded enough people to make a large and populous city. The es- innate is ventured that $2,0O0,0O0 may be considered a fair approximation of the net clean up for Lyman himself. Most of the deals recite dare of the same sen sational sort of grandstand swindling as that of the Panama Development com pany. which landed the proomter behind the bars.

Ghina's Great Future

In Secretary Hays time the terri torial integrity of China became a policy of this country. At present Russia is threatening, if not seizing, Mongolia, and no action has been taken against this move by the other powers unless indeed the hurrying of troops to the railroad which runs from Peking to the sea is such a movement.
 It is plain that the Manchus have about run their course, and that China will soon be handed over to the Chinese to become vast and popu- lous republic. Then will follow long period of reconstruction. Order must be restored, corruption driven out and public education promoted. A very heavy task will come to President Sun and his advisers even after the infant emperor and Premier Yuan and the Manchu princes have departed.
 But the Chinese people are strong CT and better people than they gem erally have been considered in the western countries. They are capable of growth and they have the elements of permanence. Their IS provinces

WOMAN SAVED FRINGE CHARLIE

WOmtN SAY ED PHlNSE tbAHLlE
 Maude Radford Warren, in Harper s Magazine for February.
 | One of the favorite traditions, not only | of the pine-barrens country, but of all 1 the eastern part of North Carolina, is connected with Flora Mcdonald, the sa- vior of Bonnie Prince Charlie. People speak of her much as if she had been alive yesterday. and indeed she is thor oughly identified with the history of the region. When the women tell her story they tell 1t with the sympathy they would feel toward a sister.
