Tho Chlno declarations have, In fact, URisra vnted rather than ameliorated the feeling against the eastern empire. Archibald Itoss Colouhtin, the distin guished geographer mid correspondent of the Time during the I'rnnco-Chlneso war of IWMftSI, In an nbln review of tho sit uation, trenchantly declares: "What wo wont Is not Uno.vledge, how ovcr profound of tho Chinese. Rather would wo strengthen the hands of Admiral Seymour or some other commander, throw ourselves boldly into tho breach and, If necessary, tnlo ionic risks. No bis thing has ' - it been dono without a certain amount of rislc." Hernard Shaw comes out with n scathing protest against retaliation, such as the siik Rested execution of Prince Tuan. the razing of Chinese cities, etc., "which," Mr. Shaw fays, "charnct'Tlio tho most hurrllne, cow - urdly mobocr.vpy that can bo Imagined, lte vrnge under any extremities of provoca tlon must be absolutely barred."

The Hzumo, a powerful Di'rr.oiud crulsir, Is nearly ready and 000 Japanese snllois are aboard of li, patiently waiting tho word lo sail. Tho aveniKe opin ion in that tluy will be needed for a deadlier conflict than tho suppression of tho Iloxere.

"It will become necessary," cays tho Statist, "to raise tho valuo of money In Loudon to u point whero gold will bo at tracted from tho United Statca nnd unless tho bank of England affords facilities to Impart, tho rate will havo to ralso to a eomparatlToly high figure before gold ar rives. On tho other hand, if tho bank Is willing to glvo facilities, early Imports of gold from tho United Static may occur. Tho arrival of 2,000,OUO or 3,000',000 of gold from New York would greatly facilitate tho isSuo of Ilrltlsh anil other government loans. Thut tho United States can Bparo a considerable amount of gold Is ccrtalq." With tho perils of p03lblo International contentions wearing upon him, tho earl of Ilosebery has onco mbro appeared In ' tlio rolo of nn alarmist. Ills excitable speech In tho House of Lords yesterday, with Its noticeably personal bitterness against Lord Salisbury, lias tended to Improve tho chances of that Bectlon of tho liberals which Is strug gling so hard to dominate tho party policy In Lord Salisbury's Interests. Nor did tho earl of Klmbcrley, who usually Is a warm mipportcr of tho ex-promler, hesltato to disapprove of hit) suggestion that tho com-mander-ln-chlef should assume some of tho functions now performed by tho secretary of war. "Unhappy the country," declared Itoscbcry, "which depends upon Its past." SlllUliiir)' .cnv OiillmlNlIt', nut Lord Salisbury, with an optimism con trasting strangely with his recent appeal for tho formutlon of rifle clubs, swept doubts and foars away and with Jocularity mluglod with acerbity, squelched tho unfortunate carl of Wemyss, who had ventured to sug gest that tho safety of tho country was menaced. A most Important matter In tho discord of tho liberals Is a letter supposed to havo been written by ono of tho liberal Imperial ists claiming that tho conservatives In tho next election should not opposo tho liberals who voted with tho government on Wcdnos day. This has raised u. howl among tha opposition. Lord Durham comes out frankly belittling Sir Henry Campbell-llanncrman, tho liberal lrador In tho Houso of Com mons, urging Lord Uosobory. Sir Edward Orey, Sir Hiyiry Fowler and II. It. Astjulth to Isbuo a program Inviting followers. "Wo shall then know," writes Lord Dur ham, "whom wo can trust and what tho liberal policy Is to bo."

Th&t pa per .tent a representative In tho steerage of La Chimpogne, who, in the course of n series of articles, entitled "The Closed Door," his been giving English readers vivid pictures of the horrors of n stcrrare pastage. The- writer, however, chiefly devotes himself to the alleged brutality and corrup tion cf olllclals at the barge ofiVo anil on Ellis il.nnl. The latter, the writer do scrl'ies as a prison, whre he maintains emigrants are beaten and abused woic-j than cattle. The Hills IM.uid warders are called "Tho dirtiest Ilusflans In New York."

An idea of tho ntlafk can bo gained from I he following necount of a cup per on Kilts Island: "We pamed In a kng line round tho room.

I'nvluK MlNNOiirl Avriiuo, Property owners on Missouri avenue nre seriously considering tho advisability o petitioning for tho paving of the nvenue from Twentieth 'street cast to Thirteenth street. As It Is now the avenue Is almost continually In need of repairs and cspeel ally to after every heavy ruld. Tho prop erty owners who have been talking tho mat tor over assert that a good brick pavement can be lnld for less money now than It can next year, besides tho brick for this pur pose can bo obtained In South Omaha, thus carrying out the homo patronage Idea. In connection with thla proposed pave ment tho Idea Is to pnvo Twentieth street from N street north to Missouri nvenue If this Is done thero will be a first class pavement from tbe heart of tho rlty to the river. Somo little illftlcully may be ex pcrlenced In Hi-curing the necessary number of signatures to tho Twentieth street peti tion as a portion of tho abutting property, on the "west sldo of the street between N and M strcctB, rannot stand a paving tux. Very likely enough signers may bo secured to get nlong without tho gully property. When n first class roadway Is made to tho river the nurllngton will, It Is stated, pro ceed at onco with the erection of n depot nt a point between M nnd N streets. Mis souri iivonuo property owners nro in hopes that If they pave tho street tho motor com pany enn be Induced to extend thn Thir teenth street car linn west on Missouri avenue nnd N streets nnd connect with tho Shormnn nvenue line.

The council desires the five packers and tho stork yards company to con tribute n certain sum towards the purchase of an engine. If the corporation managers are In gcod humor on the date of tho visit they will bn nsked tn buy on engine out right and donate It to the city. When fire hall No. 2 was repaired some tlmo ago pro vision wns made for nn engine and team, nnd ns the department now has one extra horse It Is nsserted by those interested that nn engine can be placed In service without any great outlay of money. The greatest expense will be the salaries of three men to man the engine. No one seems to know Just how the packers feel about this proposition. but ns an engine will be of great benefit to South Omaha It is felt by the city nuthorl- les that the corporations will certainly con tribute liberally. l.rvjItiK ftpeelnl Tm.ru.
