CH ^Proposed 3?eacefrd . Kin? Washing The Yankees must invade China; there is ne longer an j doubt about it. However, the invasion will be a peace ful one, of s commercial nature, and involving no grab of territory. This government is determined that the United States shall obtain a share of the trade of the middle kingdom, for whieh four great European powers are now contending. Accordingly, the department of State is on the point of ! publishing a very important and elab orate document, taking the form of a volume of 800 pages, which shows just how this result is to be accom plished. The book will afford mighty interesting reading for every merchant and manufacturer, big or little, in this country. No steps will fail to he taken, no stone left unturned, in the compe tition for a fair share of the trade of the 500,000,000 people who ii well in lands washed by the same sea that leaves the shores of California, Oregon, and Washington. It is not merely China. Ru s si an S ib e ra, Japan, Korea, Siam Formosa, the Philippines, Java, Borneo, and a multitude of islands, great and small, constitute a vast field, which has been termed the "Pacific Opportunity." All eastern Asia to day is trembling with the oncoming tread of progress, and when onoe these uncounted hosts realize that old con ditions of sloth and inaction must yield to the invasion of sew ideas, then the movement all along the line will astonish the world. Those coun tries which have prepared to control the Asiatic trade will naturally take the lead in the division of the spoils, while those who are laggards will be forever relegated to the rear. Korea, Java, and the Philippines have as many accessible inhabitants as Africa, while Siam has as numerous a popula tion as Australia and the lesser j islands of the Pa'cific. / ? China, nevertheless, is par excel- I lenee the field of future American op- j portunity. With her 350,000,000 ! people advancing rapidly in civiliza- j tion with the growth of a new era, she i will need immense quantities of ever so many kinds of things, which we are ready to furnish. At present her exports are only one-seventh of those of france, which has one-seventh of China's population; but the time will yet arrive when her products will be proportionate to the number of her inhabitants-say, fifty times as great for exportation as they are now. The problem is to make her rich by de veloping her resources, and then she will have means and willingness to buy fifty times as much. Oh, it is a wonderful prospect ! A century hence the Chinese em pire will be gridironed with American railways, traversed by Yankee loco motives, drawing trains of cars built in United States factories. These trains will carry not only pig-tailed passengers, grown indifferent to the sacrilege of running over the graves af their ancestors, but coal and iron from-Chinese mines. The mines will be controlled moally by American capital, and their machinery will be of American make. There will be other mines, too, of gold, silver, lead, and various other valuable metals and minerals derivable from the bot els of the earth. For, if the testimony of many American experts and explorers is worth anything, China embraces some of the richest and most extensive mineral producing regions in the world. Hitherto the development of China's mineral resources has been studiously j discouraged and opposed by the au- j thorities. The first thing required is j permission to the people to avail ? themselves freely of their untouched wealth under ground. The absurdity ? of the present situation in this regard j is fairly illustrated by the fact that j steamboats at Ichang, 1,000 miles in- ! land on the Yangtse river, are com pelled to burn costly imported Japan ese coal, although Ichang is situated on the borders of one of thc richest coal fields in the world. The coal de posits of that region are so remarka ble as to arrest the attention of casual travelers, but the government will not allow them to be worked. If these mines, with the incidental iron ores aod5 petroleum springs, were permitted to be exploited, there would be such a trade that thc available steamers and junks would hardly be able to carry it all. A gold mining company was organized in 1896 in this province (Szechauan) by a Chinaman named Tong, who studied mining in the United States. Ile got the sanc tion of the viceroy to buy machinery, but the people petitioned the latter official to stop the work. Samples of gold from the mines had been shown to the viceroy, and the petition was not granted. Szechuan has a popula tion nearly equal to that of France, and an area-about as great. Shantung is described as one vast mineral field. Gold, silver, copper iron, lead, coal, and even diamonds INA. invasi?n of Celestial ^dom. jton Post. \ are found. The gold mines have been worked by California miners, but they had to abandon the task, owing to the obstructiveness of the native officials, 10 years ago. It is expected that, with the advent of the locomotive in the near future, great activity will be shown in exploiting gold, coal and other minerals. Were this province under any other rule, it would be one of the greatest mining sections in the world. It has a population of 29,000, 000-about the same as that of Spain. ! This is one of the northeastern prov ? inces of China proper, and through it runs the famous Hoang Ho, or Yellow river, known as "China's Sorrow" py . reason of the destruction of millions j of people by its frequent overflows. In this province China's two great sages, C?nf ucious and Mencius, were horn. Outchtang, capital of Houpe, the "Chicago of China," will soon be con nected with Peking by rail, the road being now under construction b/ a Belgian syndicate. This city has 1,500,000 inhabitants, and is the cen tral market for about 70,000,000 pet pie-a population equal to that of the entire United States. A point like this merely illustrates the vastness of the possibilities of China as a pur chaser of American goods. The very magnitude of the population of the oriental empire well-nigh exceeds the scope of the human mind to realize. At least five times that of this coun try-there has never been a census of the "central flowery land"-the wants of its individual components will grow rapidly with the development of the civilization which is lo be foro ed -trpon 'these people who have stood still for 30 centuries. How strange it seems, by the way, that so much of the knowledge from which modern civilization springs has been derived from the Chinese. During the last few years, however, China has undergone wonderful chan ges. Ou eve.y side in that country one sees evidences of new born activi ty and enterprise. The old-fashioned, conservative Chinaman, with his cry of "foreign devil," is being crowded to the rear. One hears much talk of railways, and of enterprises of all sorts. The natives have suddenly be come progressive; they want to learn about modern inventions and scien tific discoveries. At "Wei-bsien a Chinaman is engaged in making bicy cles. This genius is able to turn out a fair wheel, but cannot master pneu matic tires. He solves the problem by covering rope with hides., coloring the leather to the proper hue, and fastening it to the rims of the wheels. The missionary, always the pioneer of commerce and the merchant's most useful advance agent, can now travel up and down the country on his wheel, and the sight is so common that it attracts nc remark. Jast at present; there is a reaction ary movement in China, but the em press dowager has no more power to stem the tide of progress in the mid dle kingdom than had pig-headed King Canute to pause the progress of the tidal breakers. She is a mere pebble on the beach, notwithstanding any impression of her own to the con trary. Foreign influente is too much for her. Taite a figure or two for il lustration. In 1890 there was only one mill in China using foreign ma chinery. In Shanghai alone to-day there are over 100 sueh mills, a.nd, scattered all over the empire, tall chimney stacks loom on the horizon. Iron mills, paper mills, cotton mills, all sorts of mills, are bei .g erected. In 1890 not a steam vessel of any de scription was allowed to run in any waters except at the treaty ports; now thc rivers are covered with small steamers and steam launches. Tele graph lines run through the auti-for eign provinces. In 1890 a high native official, who had tried to establish a telegraph in Huuan province, was obliged to flee for his life, all of the apparatus and machinery being de stroyed. To-day this province is eagerly pushing forward enterprises of all sorts; schools for teaching English are found 1,000 miles from thc coast; the electric light is used, b?gele:? arc common, and the foreigner is no longer stoned or reviled. It is urged that commercial mu seums, exhibiting samples of Ameri can manufacturers, ought to bc estab lished in Canton, Shanghai, Tientsin, and N'ankow. There is such a mu seum already at Caracas. Venezuela, with comparatively little to gain. Wc ought to have a newspaper in China, subsidized by American merchants, in connection with which would bc pro vided commercial showrooms and an information bureau. The advertise ments alone would pay for the paper, which must be an up-to-date daily, with all the latest American news. The paper would give to the China man information about our goods, and the people at home would obtain from its columns the freshest intelligence as to the condition of thc Gi markets. Of course it is very necessar American dealers and manufac shall know exactly what is dem by these markets, and informat: the subject is given in much det the Slate department book qi It seems that the demand in for Yankee drillings and sheeti rapidly growing. The pig celestials want American stoves, stuffs, small wares, and netions, c and watohes, confections, groc butter, lo?ks of every kind, anc ges and fastenings for doors and dows. They like our canned tables and fruits awfully much our condensed milk in tins is to a positive dream. Into Shai alone there were Imported durinj last twelve months more than 4( cans of condensed milk. There is a market in China many millions of bushels of Amei wheat and corn annually. The Chinese prefer wheat and wheat-: from the United States to all o brands. Clocks, watches, and la Prom the United States, and like Dur axes, are at the top of market. Scattered all over the pire, in Chinese employ, are Yar engineers, mining experts, and h rrade steel-workers. Indeed, An: ;an influence in all branches of b less is felt to-day in China as it n< ,vas before. In 1890 China sold me Uniteu States $6,000,000 n ?rorth of products than she bou 'rom this country: six years later mports from America had treb me balance of trade in favor of United States being half a mill ;old dollars per annum. From t statement it will appear that we ilready getting a grip on the trade 3hina. And, by th? way, a Phila( phia firm has furnished the locomoti :or the Tientsin-Peking railroad n n process of completion. Already we are sending enormi juantities of flour and kerosene 3hina. The Chinamen have a way .efilling the empty American oil a vith a wretched quality of stuff fr Russia or Sumatra, and this docs I ,rade damage. It is recommended ,he State Department that the oil p lucers in this country should ta neasures to prevent this. They mi? ?stablish at a profit oil depots in Chi it points suitable for distribution, a t would be a good idea to give to ea sonsiderablc purchaser a cheap, nc .ombustible lamp. Many fires a :aused in Chinese cities by defecti amps. It ought to be mentione nc iden tally, that experts in tl: sotintry do themselves much ioju )y sending low-grade wines and whi cey to China. A Chinaman knoi vbat good whiskey is, and the sac .emark applies to wines. In one respect the United Stat ?olds a unique position in the view ;hose Chinese officers and people wi enow anything of the outside worl ttore or less in dread of all the Eur pean powers, they fear nothing fro is. We are known to be rich ar peaceful, and nothing we have dor excites suspicion in the Chinese mini We are regarded as friends, and, in ? ?ar as that is concerned, what we ha\ io offer will be welcomed. But, as 1 commercial methods, in the Orien American merchants have a good dei io learn. For one thing they ougl io send agents with samples, and nc sere illustrated lists of goods an prices. All over the immense oceanic are jailed Polynesia there are markets fo American goods. It is not a questio merely of the Philippines, but of hundred other groups of islands. Sa moa is a promising field, and so like wise is Fiji. The trade of Fiji to-da is second in the Pacific only to that o the Hawaiian Islands. Immens quantities of kerosene are used ii Polynesia, and all of it comes fror this country. Other articles importe? largely from the United States int thc scattered lands of Oce?nica, ar< flour, canned and dried fruits, canne< fish, lobsters and oysters. Americai textile fabrics, on thc other hand, an practically unknown in that part o the world. There is a great American opportu nity in Siam, which is a much bigge: country thatmostfolksrealize. Large: than Japan, it is the third indepen dent kingdom of Asia, having 3,000, 000 inhabitants, with an area about equal to that of Texas. The city ol Bangkok has a population of 600,000, However, the market is peculiar, dc manding cheap things, without much regard for quality. Clothing must bc of bright colors, and novelties of any kind are salable. Flour, canned goods, watches, clocks, sewing machines, and electrical machinery arc already large ly imported from America. One suggestion offered is that one or more vessels might bc equipped as floating expeditions and sent to visit various ports in China and elsewhere in thc orient, in order to show tho na tives samples of the various manufac tures of the United States. This would be a convenient ami compara tively cheap method of bringing Amer ican products before the expected con sumers. Every available scheme pointing to this end is well worth con sidering inasmuch as this country is to be no longer a ''hermit nation." but has definitely decided upon an entrance into rivalry with European powers for the trade of the world. To Bring Back the American Dead. WASHINGTON, NOV. 7.-Adjt. (Jen. Corbin announced to-day that the Government would at once proceed to remove to the United States the re mains of American soldiers that are now in Cuba, Porto Rico ?and Manila. The work of removing the bodies will bo a costly one, and will be de frayed from the Treasury. Men will be sent from this country to superin tend the work and it will require seve ral weeks to complete the task. The caskets for tho remains of those soldiers who died in Cuba and Porto Rico will be purchased in the United States. Those intended for the re mains of soldiers who died at Manila will bo purchased in Hong Kong. In each case the remains will be disin terred and then placed in hermetically sealed caskets. It appears from intelligence received by the War Department that a large percentage of the Federal dead in the islands named fill unknown graves. This news comes ?is a great surprise to the department because definite in structions were issued at the beginning of the war that in all cases thc identity of sick, wounded and ,dead soldiers should be preserved. Through the gross carelessness of nurses and hospital surgeons these in structions were not always obeyed. This painful fact, General Corbin says, will necessitate the interment of the unknown dead in the Federal ceme teries of the country if all identification be lost of the States from which the soldiers enlisted. If the States are known, then the Governors of the lat ter may claim the remains. Major General Francis V. Greene, who recently returned from Manila, relates an interesting experience in founding a cemetery at Manila. Being compelled to care for the remains of men who died on the field of battle or in hospitals without consulting the civil authorities, he interred the bodies in the cemetery of the town. R> was met with vigorous protests from cer tain priests, who claimed that the ground wai consecrated and that per sons who died outside of their church had no right there. "Then it was," said General Greene, "that I determined to take matters iuto my own hands. 1 selected a plot of ground outside of thc city gates near thc insurgent camp and weut to work. 1 had no sooner begun than the insurgents began to clamor against thc proceedings, on the ground that the cemetery would impair thc health of Aguinaldo's men. By this time I he gran to grow hotter than the climate of Manila, and that is torrid enough, I assure you. Without any circumlo cution I filed notice that the cemetery would remain where I had placed it and that I would not listen to another word from them. Dispatching Troops to Coba. WASHINGTON, NOV. 4.-Acting upon information received from Gen. Wade, at Havan*, orders were issued from thc war department to-day to send three hundred hox-ses and the 15th in fantry to Nue vi tas at once. Hurry-up orders were at once sent to New York directing the transport Chester to pro ceed to Savannah on Sunday next pre pared to start for Cuba four days later. The transport Manitoba, also at New York, will follow in a few days, with the 3d Georgia, the 8th cavalry and 1,000 horses. It is proposed to have thc 15th infantry at Nuevitas about the 15th, as requested by Gen. Wade. Both that town and Puerto Principe will be evacuated on the 22d, and the troops on the Manitoba will be ready to take possession as soon as the Spaniards leave. All of those troops affected by to-day's orders are attached to the 2d corps, commanded by Major General Young. The 7th corps will follow as rapidly as transports can be secured. Some of them will sail from Charleston. lt is thc intention of thc Administra tion to have our troops in Cuba, to take possession of the territory as fast as it is relinquished by the Spanish forces. Man is NeTer Satisfied. "Dear Sue," he whispered, "do you think if I married you your father would ever forgive us ?" "I'm sure he would, dear," she as serted, softly. "And would he give us a house of our own ?" ;'l know he would, dearest." "And would he give us enough to live sumptuously on?" "I am sure of it, Harry." .? . "And would he take me into the firm ?" "Certainly he would." "And let me run the businesss to suit myself?" "Of course he would, darling." She snugged to his bosom, but he put her aside coldly. "I can never marry you," he said hoarsely. "Your lather is too anxious to get you off his hands." From New Zealand. Reefton, New Zealand.

For sale by Hill-Orr Drug Co. - Much intere.-t is being manifest ed near Denny's postoffice, Saluda county, over the discovery of a gold mine on the old Yarborough planta tion. \Vr. E. Peck, who has made mineralogy a life-time study, has pros pected on thc place and is satisfied thc rock and ore is worth $45 per ton. Mr. Peck has connected hil business with Mr. Abron Etheredge, of Saluda, and they have employed a number of hands to dig. They have put up a aili and they are now grinding the rock and putting up cabins on every hill. Mr. Peck says they are going to buy a stamping mill and are ready to employ a hundred hands. - "Don't be afraid of the bacon, Mr. Jenkins," said a boarding-house mistress to a boarder.
