LONDON , Feb. IS. The Saturday Re
view has another hasty comment with ref
erence to the resolution of United States
Scnnlor McEnory In regard to the Philip
pines which the paper declares "Is mere
timeserving for the sennto _ to pass. This
resolution Is simply tlio outcome of a ma
neuver to secure the nccosanry vote to ndopt.
the Paris tiealy of peace. The reputation
of President McKlnlcy's government Is ,
Indeed , likely to disappear altogether lu

Is concerned the Washington politician can

The recent order for American locomo
tives , placed by the Midland Railway com
pany , which caused a sensation hero when
It wns announced , was explained this weifl
by the chairman of the company , Sir George
Ernest Paget , who , addressing the share
holders paid n significant tribute to the
expeditious methods of Ameilcan engine
builders. Ho said the company had ordeicd
170 engines from English makers In December -
comber , 1807 , and not ono ot them is > ct de
livered nndwhen the company gave un nd-
dltlounl order in December , 1S9S , It could
not got a promise thnt one engine would
bo delivered In fifteen months , eo It was
determined to ask tenders from the Bald
win company nnd from another company In
Connecticut. Orders wore sent nnd In one
instance the engines -were promised in ten
weeks from the time the drawings were re
ceived and In another case a shipment from
America was promised In four months.
The shareholders , the chairman contin
ued , could see from this that while the
Midland company could not get a single
englno In England lu fifteen months. It
could get twenty from America In four
months. The chairman did not think the
shareholders would require any further
Justification of the directors' action nnd ,
ns n anatter of fact , they had doubled their
order to ono of the American firms.
Statistics published relative to the na
tional Income and expenditure indicate that
it Is almost certain that there will bo a de
ficiency In the budget. During the first
forty-five weeks of tbo present fiscal year
the customs have fallen oft 975,000 and
the Income has diminished 115,000 , whllo
the expenditure has Increased by 1,750-
000. Therefore , there Is every prospect that
the income ta\ will have to be Increased to
nine pence.

The collision was appalling. The express

smashed to pieces.
Later reports show that only twenty-one

What did I Hnd In China ? May I say
hero that I suppose you nsk mo to speak
bcoauso I have just como from China , nnd
have done my best to flnd out nil I could
with reference lo the resources of China
to future dovelcpmcnt ot that country. I
found that the natural resources of the
country nro simply enormous. They nro per
fectly Incalculable. The possibilities ot
trndo of the future are limitless. Whatever
the government of China says , whatever
"the " feeling of the Ch'ncso people may be ,
.one thing Is absolutely certain , that China
will bo opened up.
China Is certain to bo opened up In the
near future by means of rallwnvs Now ,
how is China to bo kept opened up for the
benelH of all nations , for the benefit of the
Chinese themselves , nnd In the Interest of
civilization and humanity ? Hut more- than
all , h w Is dt to bo opened tip in a peace
ful manner with regard to the claims nnd
wishes of all nations ?
Jly suggestion is this : First nnd foremost -
most , It is necessary for commercial enter
prise and Industry and Investment that
China should hold the "open door" all
through that empire. The oncn door means
merely that the treaties as they o\lst srhould
bo held ito nsw at this moment nnd not
altered. The existing treaties nro that ro
country Is to annex territory ; no country
Is to 1'avo sovereign rights in China. The
open door means , as jou know , n fair field
nnd no favor to all nations. That policy
has ah\a > s been the psllcy of Great Uri-
taln.
Iti-Niilt of Oiicii Door Policy.
The result of tbo open door policy is that
there is not one ot our colonies which has
cost the British taxpajers one single shin-
lug. They all work on their own lines ; they
work in their own way , but they are ot enor
mous Importance ; ithey increase our itrado
and commerce at home. The great question.
Is the practical point , How we are to keep
tills door open ? I carne to the conclusion
that the opportunities of great trade In
China are certainly gathered by the four
great countries America , Germany , Japan
and Great Britain. Jly suggestion was that
there should bo sorno sort of comma oial al-
llainco or commercial understanding between
iheso countries. Why do 1 put those four
countries land leave out Russia and France ?
I don't want ito bo dlscoutUous to nny na
tion and I never nm , but I look upon this
fiom a business polut of view , and why ,
when llussla and France have uo trade , that
Is , Import trade. Into China , are they , or am
I to suggest that tlhey should como Into 'this '
sort of commercial alliance with regard to
trade with these four countries 1 have men
tioned ? These four countnea are also the
four countries which do not vjfah to have
any territory whatever. What they want Is
simply commercial freedom. 1 do not want
to say anj thing ungraceful about France and
Russia , but In the rust history has shown
us that they are countries which like terri
tory. I do not blame France and Kuaaia a
bit. No country ever conducts a policy ot
that character without it being converted to
the minds of that country that whut they
do ds for the benefit of their country.
Now the lirst essential for the open door
would naturally be to keep China In its In
tegrity and the essential must bo that essen
tial upon which every country exists at the
present moment , vvhlcli is an efficient mili
tary and police. It is no use putting out
theoretical propositions that we mo to re
form the finance , reform the government
and do all that sort of thing unless you have
the first essential in any country an effi
cient military nnd police.
Chlmi'n DaiiKi-r J.len "Within.
The ) danger with regard to China is that
China itself , its upper effete government ,
through Us old-fashioned sjstem of admin
istration , may break up owing to the dis
turbances all over that country.
These countries 'that have properties In
China ami have investments there and have
trade and commerce there will naturally do
their best to protect thut trade anil com
merce , and for the life of mo I ian see
nothing that can occur if there are disturb
ances in China owing to our having no
army , no police and nothing that will cause
trouble. I saw myself signs of Internal
disturbance , but I did not rest there. May
I tell you some of the very Important men
In China , 'barring ' two , and those vlcerojs
themselves , have tcld mo they nro afrall
of disturbances.
It is not a. question what the foreign pow
ers are going ; to do that will smasn up
China. It is China Itself that will be
smashed up to the difturlnnco of all our
trade and commerce unless wo loo'v the thing
in the face and help the Chinese to ismaln
stable in some way.
Now , ns to the quality of the Ch'uese ' ns
soldiers. I don't ' think thmo are people
In the world who have got ns iood charac
teristics as soldiers as the Chinese. Hut
they have .only got In the whole of China
7,000 men who can be called disciplined
men , and they are drilled by the Germans.
They are all that can bo called an army at
nil. The others would be all right If drilled
by competent Instructors. They could have
n moHt efficient army In every -Mall , nn army
of " 00,000 men on the money now spent.
My proposition is merely that we shouU
lend officers and money to put Mils armv
In order as a Chinese uimy for the benefit
ct the Chinese , for the benefit of tholr trade
and 'the security of the trade of those coun
tries that nt present do vrado with China
and also to help the fir.uro novolopmcnt of
trade with those countries which now trade
with China.
His speech wns received with frequent
outbursts of applause nnd as he resumed
his scat the cheering continued several min
utes.

Hon. 'George Adams of Chicago then
rose to make the formal reply to the ad

son asked that It bo re-committed with In
structions to amend to prevent the bill
from going Into effect before January 1 , 1000 ,
and placing the matter of litigation under
Its provision entirely In the hands of thu
attorney general. In response to the state
ment that Governor Lee in his message
had declared against such a law , he took
the position that the governor bad shown
himself In the nvrong In attempts to In
struct the courts of the state nnd the prob
abilities < \vtro that he was wrong in Ills
vlous of the need of such a law. After his
speech be attempted to cut elf further re

of emergency warrants , but made no recom
mendation ,

poration , appropriating money to pay ex
