NEW YORK , Aiig. 5. A morning paper
says : "The Atchlson road scandal Is looming
tip as the chlof financial event of the day ,
outside of national legislation. It promises
lo eclipse the1 sensations connected with the
Reading or Northern Pacific , because the
Atchlson , prior to Us Insolvency , was held In
high repute by foreign Inveslors , and It wns
supposed to bo conservatively and honctitly
managed. The Northern Pacific nml ReadIng -
Ing , on the other hand , have rarely been free
from criticism , No end of scandals have
been circulated , and the men who managed
them nnd Investors who bought the securi
ties did so with Ihelr eyes open to possible
disclosures. But the recent management of
the Atchlson had been pointed to with con
fidence , and when , shortly after the panic
of last year , It succumbed to what was con
sidered the general distress , very llttlo fault
was found. It is generally understood In
Atchlson circles that nt the meeting of the
reorganization committee next Tuesday there
will be a thorough ventilation of the facts
brought to light by Expert Stephen Little ,
but which that gentleman did not Intend to
become public. One or more ot the direct
ors will bo present , and a stormy time Is
predicted "
Mr Thomas Baring of the banking firm of
Baring Bros. , accompanied by Hon Cecil
Baring , arrived today on the Cunarder
Auranla. Mr. Baring had been summoned
from England lo attend the meeting of the
Atchlson reorganization committee- Tues
day. He represents the English capitalists
who have an Interest of many millions in the
road. In answer to Inquiries regardIng -
Ing the condition of the books of the com
pany nnd alleged , dlsqrepancles , he said. "I
know nothing of these things. I have only
heard of them and have come over to Inves
tigate for myself There is n great deal of
English money at stake and I Intend lo sat
isfy myself as to the condition of affairs "

George Predcrlck Seward , president of Ihe
Fidelity and Casualty Insurance company ,
wan In China twenty years as consul ami
minister for the United States He was also
appointed minister to Corea In 1SC9 , but al
his suggestion the Hendlng of a mission to
that country was deferred. As dean of thr
consular corps In China In 1S7.1 he landed the
crows of Wo American men-of-war and sum
moned a force of volunteers to suppress a
riot , which endangered the European quarter.
Besides his otllclal report ; atul diplomatic
correspondence , he has written a. book on
"Chinese Immigration In Its Social and Eco
nomic Aspects. "
Mr. S"ward probnbly U as well fitted to
express a critical opinion on the eastern situ
ation today as any man In this country. Ho
makM In the New York World Ihls state
ment In regard to ( he Corean question.
The relations between China and Corca
have been very simple for a long time until
recently of the same sort as those which
have long existed between China nnd various
other small s'atcs adjacent to her terri
tories. There has been no effort nnd appar-
rently no desire on the part of China to
exercise ovo" such states an effective suzer
ainty or control. All have sent up to Pckln.
periodically , embassies with presents
These presents or gifts have sometimes
been styled tribute , but they have not been
such In any right sense of the term They
have been merely complimentary gifts for
the Chinese emperor. The object In send
ing Ihese embassies nnd In presenting such
gifts appear to have been to make recogni
tion of the Chinese government's superior
power and benevolence. In return the Chinese
nose emperor has given presents to the em
bassies , to be delivered to the rulers of the
respective countries.
When a new ruler has come to the throne
In any petty state the practice has been for
him , as soon as might be convenient there
after , to send a special embassy to Pekln
with n letter or petition , stating his acces
sion and the circumstances and asking for
what might bo styled a patent of Investi
ture China In return has sent by the hands
of a special embassador the patent asked
for , and this , in usual course , would be de
livered at the court of the new ruler , with
a proper ceremonial.
CHINA'S BENIGN INFLUENCE.
The essential character of these relations
batwcen China and the surrounding petty
states has been ono of respect and regard on
the part of the rulers of such petty states
towards the great Chinese cmpror , and of
benevolence on the part of the government
of China towards them. Thera has been no
effort to control them , no effort to exercise
efficient suzerainty or interfere with their
domestic affairs. China's example , In her
relations with these states , might very well
call for admiration , It has been so self-re-
s-tralned nnd so just
Just this sort of relations existed until
recently , when n change came about China
has become aware that the proximity and
sometimes the threatening attitude of the
European great powers and of Japan has
made It necessary for her to come Into
closer < ontact , with the governments of the
small states , so as in eftect to make them
what the English have styled "buffer1
states. As long as thera was no danger
from foreign powers In such directions she
adhered to her traditional policy.
Less than twenty years ago China , on
being asked to aid the United States
government to secure redress for some
abuse of an American shipwrecked crew
In Corca , responded that she had no
responsibility for what occurred there
This was true and strictly in keeping
with the nature of her relations with
Corea. .But .when the French , whether
Sfor" some right purpose Or not , made ad
vances from their Cambodian territory
towards the southern boundaries of
China , the Chinese not only made un earn
est protest , but are believed to have given
the authorities ot the district effective aid
In preventing the advance of the French
troops. Naturally under these circum
stances the old latent sovereignty would be
made the basis of very positive claims.
The moment when China's policy
changed as far as Corea Is concerned was
when that little stale came inlo treaty re
lations wllh foreign powers. The Coreans
were not familiar with the methods and
purposes of foreigners nnd appealed to the
Chinese government for advice and assist
ance. Such advice and assistance were freely
given. Moreover , as it became apparent
that the internal dlfllcultles In Corca would
give opportunities to foreign powers and
to Japan to raise pretexts for Interference
there which might lead to active aggres
sions , China grew moro alert and there Is
much reason to believe that for the last
few years China has exercised paramount
Influence in the so-called hermit kingdom.
" What the result might bo If matters were
left to take their own course It Is difficult
to say. Corea might preserve her practical
autonomy under the guardianship of China ,
or China might seek the solution of many
dimcultlcs by declaring Corea ono of the
provinces of the empire.
COREA'S STRATEGIC VALUE.
It should be borne In mind in tills con
nection that a naval station at the southern
end of Corea for England or for any other
great maritime power would bo exceedingly
valuable to such power , owing to the com
manding position In those waters which
would Ihiis be obtained.
Ou the north the Corean boundary Is con
terminous for a llttlo way with that of
Russia. It lias seemed to forelmiers In the
east a very natural thing that Russia , desir
ing to gain lerrllory and harbors to the
south , should move into Corea , and that
England , sensitive to her mailtlmo prestige ,
should bo willing to calLjnoro or less of a
check on Russia by herself taking possession
of some point at the extremity of the penin
sula. But each of those powers has already
acquired enormous Asiatic possesalorti , and
is now moro concerned to conserve what It
lias than to move toward the acquisition of
further territory. If new territory Is the
object , both England and Russia may ac
quire It In districts where llttlo Jealousy
would bo aroused. The Joint possession of
L'orea would not only bring England and
ilussla face to face In an unpleasant way ,
jut In gaining such possession they would
mvo to make account with China. No
> ewer seems disposed to disturb Its relations
with China by any such step.
So tar as Japan's position and motives In
ho present controversy ore concerned ono
nay very well hesitate at this distance to
speak with any degree of posltlvencsi of
ho Incidents Involved , Of the general con-
llllon of Japan and of the reasons why
she Is deposed to embark upon a Cor fan
venture It is easier lo apeak.
In Iho first place , JaiKin has shown In
other cages a disposition to assert authority
oxerclsed at earlier periods , but long since
ulapsed. For instance , It Is now about
wenty years since Japan asserted with bold-
less that she had territorial rights on the
; rcat Island of Formosa , and sent an expcdl-
lon ( hero to assert those rights. Formosa
mil long been an Integral part of Chinese
errllory. There waa no basis for Japan's
claim , except rlghls exercised by one of her
eudal princes two of three centuries back.
Japan under the regime prior to I860 was
a disjointed empire of thirty-odd prlnclpall-
les of feudal states. At different periods
hesa ftudal Iqrds were given to foreign ex-
icdltloim of a semi-piratical nature. Prob-
ibly any occupation of Corean soil actually
iccomplUlied by ( he Japanese In the last
lireo or four centuries has como about In
this way. So fur as I know no control so
acquired lias been effective long , and Iere
las been no such relationship between Corea
find Japan In the way of sending embassies
with presents and asking for Investiture for
new rulers as existed between Corea and
China.
China.PIREEATKRS TO THE FRONT
Japan Is now In a stale of effei vesconce.
ler new parliamentary system hag brought
o the front many fire-eaters , These have
jeen clamoring lately for the expulsion of
orelgnera In Japan. They are always stir-
Ing up something. The government of
apan , on the other Land , has apparently
een desirous of showing moderation In all
hlngs All the same , the government Ima
oeti steadily and very effectively at work
for the tail twenty-riv * years In building tif
n great military and imvnl organization
The Japanese , under the Influence ) of thcli
old feudal Institutions , were a martial poo.
pie They have not lost this deposition
under the new regime , nnd It may well be
believed that their admirable military organ
isation disposes them to foreign cn'crprlsoj
and may dispose the government Itself tc
any enterprise which would engage the at
tention of the active pplrlt ! " The spirit ol
"Jingoism" prevails In Japan today.
The whole situation , then , la one of the
gnnlest delicacy \\.ar may possibly be
averted between Chlni and Japan , but It
would seem to bo almost Inevitable.
A i to the result of such ft war , there Is
this to be said Jap.an has the liet'cr ' or
ganisation and ahe has the capacity for rapid
action China has vastly greater resources
In men and credit. She has , moreover ,
capacity to stand up under defeat If It
comes to war I should think It HKely that
all the earlier successes would bo on the side
of Japan , and very decisively so 1 should
expect , however , that In the long run the
gnat resources of China would turn the
scale , and that the tilllmate result would bo
( he defeat of Japan and the practical occu
pation of Corca by the Chinese- .
It Is useless to speculate as to what Russia
and England may do If the two Asiatic
powers come Into conflict. Each may move
In and take possession ot what suits her.
Each may refrain from doing so less It glvo
the other a pretext. No ono not actually In
the council of the administration ot one or
the other empire can at all say what the
given administration Is disposed ur likely
to do.

In Canada Picking up the menu card , the
Englishman of large appetite gave an order
that made the waiter open his eyes In aston

supply the appetites of people , not to criti

cheon The Englishman ate utcidlly anil In
dustriously and wllh evident relish.lien
he had finished his meal his face wore a look
of great content He fished in Ids pocket
for a dollar , looked at the check and gasped
"What's this ? " he nskcd "Seven dolliis
and fifty cents' Why man , this is a mistake
Meals arc only $1 , and you cut all you
want "
' Not on this cyah , sub , " said the waiter ,
who was black as ebony , nnd possessed a
smile of amplitude "Y'u o'der by do card ,

The Englishman picked up the menu card
and studied It carc " ! ly , his face g ° ttlng red

"It s an outrage , " he said.
"It's do rules , suh , " ald the waiter re
spectfully. "Yas , suh. "
"My friend , " said a passenger , who had
a twinkle In Ills eye , "I think I can explain
On the roads In the Unit d States you pay
for your meal , whether you only eat a bite
or not. But , sir , we are now In her majesty's
dominion. "
"Ah , " said the Englishman , in a more
hopeful voice.
"Yes , sir , and In her majesty's dominion
every precaution Is taken to protect the pa
trons of a railroad from Imposition. So you
see , sir , here you only pay for what you or
der and cut "
The Englishman seemed to run over In his
mind a long list of dishes which he had or
dered , for his faca fell.
"Yes , It's a very good arrangement , " said
the other softly. "It protects the traveler ,
you see "
"But see hero , " said the Englishman , in
dignantly , "they have the dishes on this
card In prominent letters , and away off on
this side In small letters the prices. Now ,
sir , " he cried hotly , "I'm near-sighted , and
over In the states they told me the prlio
of a meal was $1 , and of course I was not
on the lookout for swindlers among the em

"But you see , sir , " said the other , "the

"Eh ? " said the Englishman , wrathfiillv
