MANCHESTER, England, Nov. o6-
Berlin, says Noel Buxton, writing in
The Manchester Guardian, is much
different from the Berlin of thirty
years ago.
"At my first visit, in 1890. Bismarck
had just fallen and the hopes of the
wilder spirits were set upon the young
man whose white plume flashed past
down the Linden and whose restless
personality was already attracting the
reverence Of the less reflective sec
tlons of German loyalty" he says.
The hopes of the warike and the
autocrat were to find themselves only
too we'll fulfilled in this apt instru
ment of their schemes. Six wears later
the Jameson Raid furnished the first
opportunity to make Europe uneasy,
Prom the kruger telegram to Al
gerciras and Agadir the Emperor sup
plled periodical food to the militarists
OF every country, till at last the mill
tary machine which had ben fashioned
was set in motion to the devastation
Of Europe and the jeopardzing of ite
civilization. And now the whole of
this episode is closed, and no one can
visit Berlin without experiencing the
pleasant sensation of seeing the head
quarters of militarsm cleared of its
evil genius. The reality, indeed, sur
passes the expectation.

Inc very burgomasters were not re-

seen slouching along in pairs. The
walls Of the chief buildings are spat-

From Special corrsspord ~.

PEK1NG, Oct. 29.-Shanghai, long
known to globe trotters as the "Sink
of Iniouity" and the Paris of the
East" according as their incl;nations
lay, is going in for publication with
unique variations. The goddess Of
chance, herself no puritan, is lending
her auspices to the rite.
For many years Shanghai has been
one of the "wde open" spots Of the
earth. On an edge between two cvili-
cations, with the restraints of neither,
everything went. Humid almost to
saturation the climate, humid beyond
saturaton the social mosphere. Church
services only were unaccompanied by
the whisky and soda. Even at stockhold
ers' meetings the glasses clinked. And
one could bet on anything from the
market price of silk to the number Of
bubbles IN the next glass. Nothing for
bldden to man was left untastod.
Of recent years there has been a
conspicuous tanning OF the Wild old
ways. Shanghai is now less Il drop
ping off place for the adventurers Of
all the world and more gathering
point for orders for statesmen from ali
the world. And there has been the
natural reform wave.
But while this has been true Of the
foreign population. there has been q
directly opposite tendency among the

ways under Yuan Shih k al, and wrecked ID
both banks and railways to provide
Yuan with the funds to realize his am
bitons.
The Old Chiaotung is squirming it's
way into power again, led by its old
chief, Liang Shih-yi, popularity known
as the "God Of Wealth.
And oily and cunning Cantonese, it
was he who wrecked the governm ent
banks for Yuan by the simple process
Of helping himself to the silver reserve
and issuing new notes to get more.
Chiaotung Building Machine
He financed Yuan and emerged him
self one Of the richest men in China.
Now he Is building up his machine
again by we'll placed politico- o-fnanciai-
industrial enterprises. His latest
stroke Of genius is his seizure of the
famine relief organization, with all the
opportunities it affords for the placing
of his leutcnants throughout the coun-
try and the acquiring Of means for
financing them. Ais grist that comes
to the Chinese political mill-even the
starving.
Over them all sits the President
Hsu Shihc chang, typical mandarin of
former days. spineless but cunning, in.
triguing with all factions, playing one
off against another, subtly obstructing
progressive measures, interested at bot
tom only, in keeping himself in that
high honorific Office, and perhaps
most Of all, in the eventual restora-
tion OF the monarchy, with his family
united to the reigning Manchu house
by the marriage Of his daughter with
the boy Emperor.
What will come out of the chaos it is
impossible even to guess, but there is
little hope of expecting anything but a
gradual Improvement spread over a
long period Of time, with possibly ono
bloody national outburst before set
tling China must get worse before it
gets better, and as it is getting worse
steadily there is ground for optimism
as to the end.

TUSCARORA STRIKE
EXC|TES IN ELK0

News reached Elko Saturday of a
reported gold placer strike on C
Creek. about twenty miles west OF
.Tuscarora, on the road to Gold Circle,
says the Elko Free Press, and while
the news is meager it has every evil
dence of being trustworthy. 1t seems
hat before the war, when the old
camp of Divide was in existence, Mr..
Lane. a mining engineer. spent some
time exploring the Rock Creek dis
trict, and found evidence of placer
gold. The wal coming on. he had no
time to prove his find, but enlisted In
the engineering corps and was with
the first company sent to France tie
did not get back until last July and
as soon as discharged came to Nevada
and began to prospect where he left
off when the call to arms reached
him. Late in the fall, or rather in
the fore part of the winter, he made
his find on Rock Creek. the dirt run
ming several dollars to the yard.
He said nothing of his strike at that
time. but went ahead with his work,
and it was but a few days ago that
the news leaked out. AS far as can
be ascertained there are about twenty
FIVE men who have reached the scene
of the strike, as the deep snow pre-
vents any travel from Tuscarora, and
the only way to get into the district
is from Gold Circle. which lies to the
west, and the ground is still covered
with snow about Rock Creek.
This section of Eiko county has
been the scene of several gold PUSHES
in times gone by, but up to the present
time the strikes have petered out. as
the gold has never been found in pay
ing quantities. There can be no doubt
but the whole part of the county In
that section is highly mineralized
gold being found everywhere, but not
in paying quantities. 1t has often
been said by experienced men that
some day somebody would discover
the source of the placer gold, and
when he did it would be a bonanza.
The news has spread over the whole
state and many are waiting for the
snow to &c and the roads to become
passable, when the rush to the new
strike is apt to be n of the greatest
in the state. owing to the fact that in
the past the richest placer mines in
the world were located in the north
ern part of Elko county, near where
this strike has been made.

here we're milk spasms with violent

weakness.
AT this stage OF the investigation
no advice can be given as to the treat
ment OF poisoned animals, the federal
scientists state. Stockmen should
recognize. however, that the plant is
injurious to cattle and sheep. and
probably also TO horses. When other
forage is lacking the eating OF this
plant in large quantities may cause
serious losses. IL a heavily grazed
range where the plant is abundant is
used, it is reasonable to expect some
deaths among the animals. Those
becoming affected should be removed
to where they can get abundant feed.
Probably alfalfa pasture is particu-
larly desirable.
That stockmen and others inter-
ested in this question may be able to
identify the plant definitely, the de-
partment of agriculture has pub
lished an illustrated department cir
cular, No. 81, copies of which may be
had by writing to the department at
