Although tho meeting of tho city coun
cil Inst night was for tho special pur
pose of considering tho application of
Contractor Wlckham that ho be Issued
bonds In place of certificates for tho pav
ing contracted for by tho city this fall, no
nctlnn was taken nnd on Alderman
Lougec's motion the whole matter was
laid over for ono week. After It had
been decided to lay tho mattor over At
torney Organ, representing Contractor
Wlckham. was afforded an opportunity to
addreBS tho council and explain tho situa
tion, In connection with tho proposed
Issue a communlcnatlnn from City Au
ditor Evans, In which ho opposed tho
bonds, was rend. Tho city auditor based
his objections on tho provlous experience
of tho city In such matters, when the mu
nicipality was liable for tho bonds Issued
for special Improvements.
Mr. Organ corrected the auditor's state
ment nnd showed that tho proposed Issue
simply took tho place of the certificates
and did not become nn obligation of tho
city, being issued ngalnst tho assess
mcnts levied on tho abutting property
responsible for tho cost of the Improve
ment,
After a lengthy discussion It was de
cblcd to appropriate $200 from tho con
tingent fund to pay City Treasurer True
and City Auditor Kvnns for tho extra
work of preparing tho special assessment
bouk. This work heretofore has been done
by, tho llnanee clerk, but at tho com
menccment of this year tho council dls
pensed with tlm services of such an olll
clal. Aldermen Boycr nnd Hrown opposed
tho appropriation on tho grounds that tho
work should rightfully, In their opinion,
be done In tho county auditor's ofllco.

fusions. Wo may Ufeo the word China as a
roiivonlent expression to connote a cer
tain vuot portion of tho earth's surface,
but In no inoic exact sense. What figures
as China on the map Is n number of ills
trlcts often separated from each other
nnd from the center by immense distances
differing widely lu climate, resourceb and
configuration. Inhabited by peoplo of
largely varying raco, tuinporunH'Ut, habit
1-ellKlou and language.
The Mohammedans, of whom there are
iiO.OOO.OOO, regard tho Iluddhlsts as Irro
llglous foreigners, "Tho Inhabitants of
tho central and northern provinces," bayg
Mr ICeane, "tiarcely regard those of tho
extieme southeast districts as fellow
countrymen nt all." A native of Shanghai
was heard to say; "There wore Bevcn
Chinamen and two Cantonese." A mati
from Tien Tsln and a man from Canton
can no moro talk to each othor than can
a iFrenchmnn ami a Dutchman. Moreover,
thiro exists between them a virulent raco
hatred. I lost tho best Chinese servant I
over had becuiuc, being from tho uorth,
nothing would Induce blm to accompany
me In the south of China, where his speech
would have betrayed him, "Cantonese
velly bad man, master," he said to me;
"I go homo." This curious Interhatred Is
consplcuouu whero Chinese from different
parts of China meet together, as, for ex
ample. In Ihingkok, or on tho plantations
In Malaya or tho Dutch Indies. Savage
faction fights nro of constaut occurrence.
Consequently It la easy to raise a force
of Chinese In one plnco to fight Chinese
In another.
It Is because there Is no such thins as
"China" that tho military casto of the
Manchus, comparatively Influlteslnml In
numbers, havu been ablo to Impose their
rule upon the enormous massei of Chi
nese. Thus It Is ttuwiso to predicate any
thing of China as a whole, or to believe
thnt what suits ono part will necessarily
suit another.
Over tho heterogeneous and conflicting
masses of China there has never, been any
effective central control nnd whnt control
there has been has steadily grown weaker.
Thero Is, therefore, not tho slightest pos
sibility ot tho establishment by Chinese
nuthorlty of a national army or navy or
civil service. And the corruption which
Is tho fatal curse of China Is directly due
lo tho fact that there Is not nnd cannot
be any cenlrnl authority to exercise con
trol over locnl ofllclals, or, In tho absence
of this, to pay them, Tho Chinese people,
lu tho language of physics, Is n mechanical
mixture and uot n chemical compound nnd
thcreforo Is Is Irresponsive to the nrtlou
of nny single reagent and Incapable of ex
hibiting any common property.

Higher than tho Pyramids! Tallest oflicw
building In thu world. To bo erected mid
ready for occupaucy lu Just twclvo mouths.
Those arc the striking features of tho obe
lisk nt Herald square, tu bo net tip nt the
southeast corner of llroadway and Thirty
third street, reports tho New York Herald.
The elovntor wells lu this building will
he 435 feet deep. Allowing fifteen feet clear
between tho axles of tho wheels supporting
tho elevator cables (the usual free space)
and tho roof and tho total height from
llroadway sidewalk to tho top la 450 feet.
Add the thickness of tho roof and railing
nnd ornaments thereon and a total height
of 455 foot Is secured. Old Cheops, might
iest of tho Pyramids of Egypt, was origi
nally somo 470 feot above tho bnnds ot the
desert, but latterly It has measured only
4ut feot from baso to topmost point.
Cheops' sides at the base are 73." feet
long, giving the ancient landmark an nrea
of 570,025 square feet. Tho plot of ground
on which the newest skyscraper In tho
world Is ,to bo built measures 92 feet on
llroadway nnd U9 feet on West Thirty-third
street, extending backward so as to form
nn Irregular parallologram, with an area of
about 7,000 Bquaro feet. Theroforo this
building will be less than oua-elghtlcth ns
broad as tho biggest Pyramid, but several
feet higher, and, owing to Its sUunicss, will
nppear to bo much loftier.
Nono can toll how long It tool; to pile up
the great oblong blocks of stono which form
Cheops, how many laborers worked on thu
tnsk, nor how much It all cost or was
worth, reckoned In money, but of this now
gigantic structnro wo know this. The land
on which It will stand is vnlued now nt
$1,500,000. Tho building will cost about
$1,250,000.
Rents thereabouts aro so high that va
cant lots cost a heap to tho owners, nnd
when a building Is torn down or altered the
utmost speed Is maintained In preparing
tho premises for tenants again. So It Is
planned to tour down tho buildings on the
slto of tho new obelisk of Herald square,
erect tho new structuio nnd have rent-
payers settled within ltu walls by ono year
