A poster from Hankow gives good proof of this. The heading is: "Hasten to read this, patriotic gentlemen." Avoid America Clatarettes. The pAsler Is an appeal ta boycott Amer ican cigarettes and buy Japanese. "Amer icans are comiised of wicked minds, pois onous as acid," It asserts. "They have toll tho Hrltlsh that they sell cigarettes In order to Injure Chinese and ruin their lives. To ak for one of their cigarettes Is to ask for the death of a Chinese.

DERNBURG IS A "HUSTLER" First Speech of German Colonial Min ister Shorrs that He Means Hnslness. BERLIN, Nov. 17. (Special.) - Tho kaiser's new colonial minister, Herr Bern hard Dernburg, who is expected to become the Joseph Chamberlain of" Germany, has made his first public utterance In a speech at Halle. The atmosphere of "hustle," which It freely breathes, bears out the predictions ma do nt the time of his ap pointment that Germany's colonial administration- under the American trained banker's regime Is forthwith to be rid of Inefficient bureaucratic methods, and to bo characterized by a spirit of Intelligent ag gressiveness. Her Dernburg Intimates that he will summon to the task of rejuvenating Ger many a drooping colonies "men schooled In the determined art of standing up In the world and going ahead." He calls upon the country to abandon tho theory thst Germany's) twenty-two years of colonial ef fort represents nothing but useless sport, and to Join with him In making the Father land's oversea possessions not merely an "appendix" to the empire, but thriving out posts of German activity. Hcrr Dernburg Is keeping his own coun sel regarding his Bpcclllc Ideas for colonial development, but they will mark a com plete break with the traditions which have made the kaiser's colonies hitherto merely capiclous consumers of subsidies. JAPANESE TRADE-IN DANGER London Time Thlnka jn franclsco Incident Will Hve Bad Effect Abroad LONDON, Nov. 17.-(SpeclsI.)-The Lon don 'Times gives warning that American trade in Japan is In danger. Editorially, the Times says: "The Japanese cannot be expected to carry beyond a. certain point their allowance for the municipal difficulties, of another nation. If California persists, the Japanese govern ment and people will come to the conclu- j sion that, the treaty obligations are being j set aside by tiie I'nlted 8tatea and that Japanese subjects are being treated with gross Indignity. Japan Is In a position to I retaliate. It can say If Japanese ace not j good enough to mix with Americans,, then I Americans are not good enough to mix j with Japanese. The day it eaya that, a I great and growing branch of American commerce is likely to go by the board. A i Chinese boycott on no great scale waa I found extremely Inconvenient. A Japanese I boycott will be very much moro serious. j Us effects would be very heavily felt by the offending state, because San Francisco Is the center of a great trade with the cast and the home port for important lines of American steamers. It is not always that the offender bears the brunt of the mis chief, and perhaps in the fact, that in this case he will do so lies the best hope of a settlement of the question." FEARS FOR TH IRON TRADE American Attempt to Corner Product Seen In Inquiry for Iron In Scotland. LONDON, Nov. 17. (Special.)

Some good judges think the foreign de mand may take the whole available Eng lish t-upplles If they do. then the price of Cleveland plgiron will Increase materially. Pigiron is certainly In the throes of a "boom," which will, it Is fondly believed, carry prices higher than for year.

OMAHA TO THE tiMST THE THEATER Greet Systems that C enter In Gate C lly Are Maklnit Tremendous Changes In the Commercial Map of West and Northwest. For the railroad supremacy of the west the moneyed kings of the country are to day waiTlnc one of the most Interesting fights ever witnessed by a public, which Is Immensely interested. Hill and Har rlman and Gould, with th- vast fortunes of Clark und the Armours and tho Kocko fellers. and their crowds pouring millions into the work which Is soon to yield mil lions In return, nre the central figures lu he battle for the control of the situation ln the vast agricultural w.st, nnd for the transcontinental business which all still reckon on in spite of the construction of the Panama canal. With Hill bullulng or planning to build lines from Guernsey to Walt Lake and up the North Platte valley, and from Fmu nle to Tlirrmopolls and feeders out of Cheyenne and Immense work nround Lin coln and Ashland nnd with a line Just finished from Sioux City to Ashland, tho Northwestern building from Pierre to Rapid City and baling Just finished a lino from Casper to Lander, with Intentions of extending to Salt Lake; Willi the Union Pacific talking of a line from Wolcott to the northwest ln competition with the Encampment road, and with the Milwaukee and Western Paciiic bnlldliw to the coast, the railroad map Is sure to somewhat changed within the next nr. I nlon Pacific Extension. rhe Union Pacific has lis Hue up the rth Platte valley about ready to run - cars. This beautiful atreteh of coun ts practically undeveloped and great tches of grazing land are waiting for tiller of the soil The building of this means the settlement of thu! section he country by farmer, who will to a ; extent become Intensive farmers, and all be In a , erny tributary to Omaha. Burlington's line huilt this summer yorland reached the rich Wind river try on the north, the same as tho hwestern extension from Casper to r roarhr-d it on the south and a race was made to see which road be In the beet coudltlon for the . ng of the thousands which would' to go to the government drawing at servntlon. The line from Pierre to City will open a iirh grazing couti ich has been hampered by the lack road facilities and 'with the North i nnd Milwaukee both building; n that section of South Dakota both agricultural nnd gracing In forest a will be stimulated, and Omaha will reap tho benefit. ?ll wnokee'a Grent Project. The largest single undertaking by one road Is the construction uf the Milwaukee read from Dakota to the coast, with Seattle as Its western terminus. The scenery along the new route means It must become one of the most popular routes In the'eountrty for transcontinental travel. The beautiful Yel lowstone valley will bo penetrated. Th standing Pock Indlnn reservation will be one cf the points of interest. The Rocky j mountains will be along the ripht-of-way. but will not form an Impassable barrier. .The Bitter T:.ot chain, along the western ! Hue of Montana, will be pierced, nnd the j high peaks of Idaho will b among the ; sifhts the tourlist will see. In a general way the route lbs about fifty miles to the south of the Northern ; Pnciflc railroad, and opens up a vast coun i try now scarcely settled. From C.Ienham and Evails, In the north central part of South Dakota, now the western terminus I of the St. Paul road, rails have p.lreaiy I been laid up to the point where the road ! crosses the Missouri river, twelve mile to jthe north. The first eighty miles will trs j verse the Standln Rock Indian mem. lion, pnfslng through Horman and Schiiae counties In South Dakota, and, cutting through the southwest corner of North Dp.-. kota. will open up Nettlngc-r and Bowroun j counties. I Tho Milwaukee officials are hot alone In their anxiety to have a line to the roast, for that Is what is thought to be the de- sign of the Burlington in Its contemplated line from Salt Lake to Guernsey, and thHt Is thought to be the ultimate deslm of the Northwestern, which is working to the west each year. They realize that a rail road without a connection of that kind by which it can protect Itself can have llttl chance of holding Its ow n when the Pan-. ama canal Is completed. The, directors hope to novo the Milwaukee built as far at Butte, Mont., bv January 1, lius, Glanta In the Contest. Where the next Jump by one of theea railroad giants will be no on stems to' , know. It Is known that men of two or j three different roads are surveying from Denver to the north, and that numerous '. surveying parties are in Wyoming south i of tho Yellowstone, but where Hill and i Harrlmon and Gould will Jump to n.-xt ', spring is a guess. These men are the central figures In the i west and one hears of Hill building that : road, and Clark building this one, and Harriman fighting Hill for control of tills nnd that strategical point. Each have seen the possibilities of the west and are now spending all tne millions they ,can ' get their hands on to have the best load for the handling of tho wond.-rtul tonnage which tbe west Is producing yearly and which la Increasing yearly. When Harri man was asked if he had confidence in the west und saw any great future there, he replied, "Certainly I believe In 'tho west, and it is there my work haa been doue. I believe In large through lines working with others along the line of l.-ast resistance In order that traneporta ' tlon may be produced at the least cost ar.d eventually sold at a reduced charge. "II has been my f.ar in the matter of rate control by trie Interstate Commerce commission that it might interfere with I i he legitimate accumulation of profit necessary In order to improve the means uf transportation and thus make posxIMc o reduc.st charge.
