CH] Proposed ^Peaceful ] Kino Washing -jhe Yankees must invade China; ' re is no longer anj doubt about it. B ?ever, thc invasion will be a poaoe ? lone, of a commercial nature, and \olvinf no grab of territory. Thi? 10 romeDt is determined that the United States shall obtain a share of be trade of -h?5 middle kingdom, for 'hieb four great European powers are Iw contending. Accordingly, the ?jrtment of State is on the point of Jlishing a very important and elab l|le document, taking the form of a |ome of SOO pages, which shows oSt how thin result is to bo accout red. The book will afford mighty Btere?tiof! reading for every merchant -^manufacturer, big or little, in thin ?otn try No steps will fail tobe taken, no m ]tft unturned, in the compa ??n for a f'ur sbare ?' fcne trade of gb( 500,???,UOO people who dwell in $1? washed by the same sea that Tei the skores of California, Oregon, nd Walkington. It is not merely bina. Kussian Sibera, Japan, Korea, i,m Formosa, the Philippines, Java, Borneo, and a multitude of islands, it and small, constitute a vast field, Qfcj;b has been termed the "Pacifio portunity." All eastern Asia to j is trembling with the oncoming id of progress, and when once these (oanted hosts realize that old con tions of ?doth and inantion must ld to the invasion of now ideas, m the movement all along the lino H astonish the world. Those coun i which have prepared to control Asiatic trade will naturally take ?kail in the division of the spoils, ile those who are laggards will be vor relegated to the i-ear. Korea, ia, and thc Philippines have as av accessible inhabitants as Africa, ile Siam has as numerous a popula D a* Australia and the lenser ni. ,?!' the Pacific. / jana, nevertheless, is par excel- ! te die lield of future American op- j tanny. With her 350,000,0001 pie advancing rapidly in civili/.a with the growth of a new era, she aced immense quantities of ever my kinds of things, which we aro y io furnish. At present her its arc only one-Beventh of those j?rancf. which haB one-sev?nth of na's population; bot the time will arrive when her products will be portionate to the number of her ibitants-say, fifty times as great exportation as they are now. The blom is to make her rich by de jpiog her resources, and then she have means and willingness to Sfty times as much. Oh, it is a derful prospect ! ce?tury hence the Chinese em ull bc gridironed with American ays, traversed by Yankee loco Yes, drawing trains of cars built United States factories. These s will carry not only pig-tailed npers. grown indifferent to the lege of running over the graves ?ii ancestors, but coal and iron Chinese mines. The mines will controlled mostly by American ?1, and their machinery will be of ricau make. These will be other s, too, of gold, silvdr, lead, and DB other valuable metals and ?ls derivable from the bowels of (nth. For. if the testimony of American experts and explorers rth anything, China embraces of the richest and most extensive ?1 producing regions in the fberto the development of China's -I resources has been studiously tNaged and opposed by the au tle*- The first thing required ia j ?don to the people to avail* Mves freely of their untouched 1 under ground. The absurdity j Present situation in this regard j lv illustrated by the fact that ' Wsat Ichang, 1,000 miles in n ?ie Yangtse river, are coin to burn costly imported Japan* although Iohang is situated borders of ooo of tho richest 1?8 >n thc w???u. The coal de ?f that region are so remarka 10 ?rrest the attention of casual e?. but the government will not ?em to be worked. ??e mines, with the inoidontal "and;petroleum springs, were U?d 10 be exploited, there would etl a trade that tho ?v?ilablo ? aid junks would hardly be Ca"y it all. A gold mining -y was organized Soi 1896 in this ?ec (Szechauan) b"y ' a Chinaman Toug. who studied mining in pW States. He got the sane-' l?e viceroy to buy machinery, t People petitioned the latter 0 stop the work. Samples of m-be mines had been shown Viceroy, ?nd the petition was Bte<i. Szeohuan has a pofeula **V equal to thnt of France, *jea about as great. 1 jWH??g is described as ono vast d;?L ld- ?old, oliver, copper ? coal, anderen diamonds yea .NA. . Lnvasion of Celestial ;dom. (on Poat. aro found. Thc gold ruines have been worked by Califoroia miners, but they had to abandon che task, owing to the obstructiveoess of tho catire officials, 10 years ago. It ia 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 bo one of tho greatest mining sections in the world. It has a pepulation 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 tho famous Hoang Ho, or Yellow river, known as "China's Sorrow" by reason of the destruction of millions of people by its frequent overflows. In ibis province China's two great sages, Canfucious and Mencius, were born. 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 pea pie-a population equal to that of the entire United States. A point like this merely illustrates tho 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 to be forced upon these people who have stood still for 30 centuries. How strange it seems, by the way, that so much of tho knowledge from which modern civilization springs has been derived from thc Chinese. During the last few years, however, China has undergone wonderful chan ges. Gu evey 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 Wci-hsien 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, alwayB 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 no remark. Jast at present there is a reaction ary movement in China, but thc em press dowager has no mare power to stem tho 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 influenae is too znuoh for her. Take a figura or iwo fur il- j lustration. In 1890 there was oniy one mill in China using foreign ma chinery. In Shanghai alone to-day there are over 100 such mills, and, scattered all over the empire, tall chimney stacks loom on the horizon. Iron mills, paper mills, cotton mills, all sorts of mills, are bei ig erected. In 1890-not a steam vessel of any de scription was allowed to run" in any waters except at tho treaty ports; now thc rivers are covered with small steamers and steam launches. Tele graph lines run through the anti-for eign provinces. In 1890 a high native official, who had tried to establish a telegraph in Hunan province, was obliged to flee for his life, all of the apparatus and machinery being de stroyed. To-day thia province ia eagerly pushing forward enterprises of all sorts; aohools for teaching English are found 1,000 milos from tho coast; tho electric light ia used,, bicycles aro common, and the foreigner is no longer atoned or reviled. It is. urged that commercial mu seums, exhibiting samples of Ameri can manufacturers, ought to be estab lished in Canton, Shanghai, Tientsin, and Nankow. There is such a mu seum ?lfeady at Caracas, Venezuela, with comparatively little to gain." We ought to have a newspaper in China, subsidized by American merchante, in connection W"ith which would bo pro vided commercial showrooms and an information burean. 9be advertise ments alone would pay for the paper, whioh must bc an up-to-date daily, with all the latest American .news. The paper would give tb the China man information ?boat-OUT gooda, and tbe people at home wOnld obtain from nts-columns tho'freshest intelligence HS to the condition of thc Oriental markets. Of course it is very necessary that American dealers and manufacturers shall know exactly what is demanded by these markets, and information on the subject is given in much detail by the State department book quoted. It seems that the demand in China for Yankee drillings and sheetings is rapidly growing. The pig-tailed celestials want American stoves, food stuffs, small wares, and nations, clocks and watohes, confections, groceries, butter, lesks of every kind, and hin ges and fastenings for doors and win dows. They like our canned vege tables and fruits awfully muoh, and our condensed milk in tins is to them a positive dream. Into Shanghai alone there were Imported during tho last twelve months more than 40,000 cans of condensed milk. There is a market in China for many millions of bushels of American wheat and corn annually. The rich Chinese prefer wheat and wheat-flour from tho United States to all other brands. Clocks, watohes, and lamps from the United States, and likewise our axes, are at the top of tho market. Scattered all over the em pire, in Chinese employ, are Yankee engineers, mining experts, and high g-ade steel-werkers. Indeed, Ameri oan influence in all branches of busi ness is felt to-day in China as it never was before. In 1890 China sold to the United States $6,000,000 more worth of products than she bought from this country: six years later her imports from America had trebled, the balance of trade in favor of tho United States being half a million gold dollars per annum. From this statement it will appear that we are already getting a grip on the trade of China. And, by the way, a Philadel phia firm has furnished the locomotives for the Tientsin-Peking railroad now in process of completion. Already we are sending enormous quantities of floor and kerosene to China. The Chinamen have a way of refilling the empty American oil cans with a wretched quality of btuff from liussia or Sumatra, and this does the trade damage. It is recommended by the State Department that the oil pro ducers in this country should take measures to prevent this. They might establish at a profit oil depots in China at points suitable for distribution, and it would be a good idea to give to each considerable purchaser a cheap, non combustible lamp. Many fires aro caused in Chinese cities by defective lamps. It ought to be mentioned, incidentally, that experts in this country do themselves much injury by sending low-grade wines and whis key to China. A Chinaman knows what good whiskey is, and the same remark applies to wines. In one respect the United States holds a unique position in the view of those Chinese officers and people who know anything of the outside world. More or less in dread of aii thc Euro pean powers, they fear nothing from us. We are known to be rich and peaceful, and nothing we have done excites suspicion in the Chinese mind. We are regarded as friends, and, in so far as that is concerned, what we have to offer will be welcomed. But, as to commercial methods, in the Orient, American merchants have a good deal to learn. For one thing they ought to send agents with samples, and not mere illustrated Huts of goods and prices. All over the immense oceanic area called Polynesia there are markets for American goods. It is not a question merely of the Philippines, but of a hundred other groups of islands. Sa moa is a promising field, and so like wise is Fiji. The trade of Fiji to-day is second in the Pacific only to that of the Hawaiian Islands. Immense quantities of kerosene are used in Polynesia, and all of it comes from this country. Other articles imported largely from the United States into the scattered lands of Oce?nica, are flour, canned and dried fruits, canned fish, lobsters and oysters. American textile fabrics, on the other hand, are practically unknown in that part of tho world. . Thero is a great American opportu nity in Siam, which is a much bigger country that most folks realize. Larger than Japan, it ia the third indepen dent kingdom of Asia, having 3,000, 000 inhabitants, with an area about equal to that of Texas. The city of Bangkok has a population of 600,000. However, the market is peculiar, de manding eheap things, without much regard for quality. Clothing must be of bright colors, and novelties of any kind are salable. Flour, canned goods, watches, clocks, sewing machines, and electrical machinery are already large ly imported from Amerioa. One suggestion offered is tha.t ono or more vessels might bc equipped as floating expeditions and sent to visit various ports in China and elsewhere in the orient, in order to show the na tives samples of the various manufac tures of the United States. .This would be a convenient and compara tively oheap method of bringing Amer ican products before the expected con sumers. Every available scheme pointing to this end is weil worth con sidering inasmuch as this country is to be DO longer a "hermit nation*0 but has definitely decided upou au entrance into rivalry with European powers for the trade of the world. To Bring Back the American Dead. WASHINGTON, Nov. ;.-Adjt. Geo. Corbin announced to-day that the Government, would at onco proceed to remove to the United States tho re mains of American soldiers that are now in Cuba, Porto Rico and Manila. Tho work of removing the bodies will be 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 tho task. Tho caskets for tho remains of thoso soldiers who died in Cuba and Porto Rico will be purchased in the United States. Thoso intended for tho ro maius of soldiers who died at Manila will bo purchased in Hong Kong. In each caso tho remains will be disin terred and then placed in hermetically sealed caskets. It appears from intelligence received hythe War Department thain large percentage of the Federal dead ir the islands named lill unknown graves. This news comes ns a great surprise to the department because definite in structions were issued at thc beginning of tho war that in all cases the identity of sick, wounded and dead soldiers should bo preserved. Through tho gross carelessness of nurses and hospital surgeons these in structions were not always obeyed. ThiB painful fact, General Corbin says, will necessitate tho interment of the unknown dead in the Federal ceme teries of the country if ill identification be lost of the States from which the soldiers enlisted. If the States are known, then tho Governors of the lat ter may elaim the remains Major General Francis V. Greene, who recently returned from Manila, relates an interesting experience in founding at cemetery at Manila. Being compelled to care for the remains of men who died on the field ol' battle ol in hospitals without consulting the civil authorities, he interred the bodies in the cemetery of tho town. He was met with vigorous protests from cer tain priests, who claimed that tho ground was 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 ta!?- matters into my own hands. I selected a plot of ground outside, of the city gates near tho insurgent ramp mid went, to work. I hud no sooner begun than the insurgents began to clamor against, the proceedings, on tho ground that the cemetery would impair the health of Aguinaldo's men. By this time I be gan to grow hotter than the climate of Manila, and that is torrid enough, I assure you. Without any circumlo cution I hied notice that tho cemetery would remain where I had placed it and that I would not listen to another word from them. Dispatching Troops to Cuba. WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.-/Veting upon information received from Gen. Wade, at Havana, orders were issued from the war department to-day to send three, hundred horses nud the 15th in fantry to Nuevitas 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 tho 3d Georgia, the 8th cavalry and 1,000 horses. It is proposed to have the 15th infantry nt Nuevitas about the 15th, as requested by Gen. Wade. Both that town and Puerto Principe will bo evacuated on the 22d, and the troops on the Manitoba will bo ready to take possession as Boon as the Spaniards leave. All of those troops ail ee ted by to-day's orders are attached to the 2d corps, commanded hy Major General Young. The 7th corps will follow as rapidly aa transports can bc secured. Some of ilium w??i saii from Charleston, lt is tho intention of the Administra tion to have our troops in Cuba to take possession of the territory as fast as it is relinquished hy tho Spanish forces. Man is Never 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 ?*' "I know he would, dearest." "And would he give us enough to live sumptuously on?" "I am sure of it, Harry." A . "And '.voulu he take me in to" the firm ?" "Certainly he would." "And let me run the business? to suit myself ?" v* - ? "Of coarse he would, darling." Sho snugged to his boeom, but he put her aside coldly.
