And everywhere It Is being argued that tho government is not inclined to drop the education bill for this session. This crista, apparently being forced in 1'arllament by the terms of the education bill, hus forced Into unusual prominence tba address just made by Whitelaw Reld, the American ambassador, on educational problems In America when recently pre sented the freedom of the city of Dundee. Tho cabled reports, and even the news paper reports, have not done tho Ameri can ambassador Justice, for It was not until the American, ambassador had fin ished his a'tfress that even the newspaper men present became, aroused to the fact that Mr. Reld had made what was In reality an epoch-making speech upon the subject of education, contrasting the sys tem of England with the system of Amer lea. , . Relit Kot Interested. Of course Mr. Reld himself did not have the slightest, Intent that Ms remarks should be used In conneetlon' with the present controversy now ranging among people and ' members of Parliament, but It is difficult to see how he can now escape the notoriety which has been thrust upon him. . Speaking of education. In America. . Mr. Reld ld that In a. country controlled by pular suffrage. and among a people pas sionately convinced that the succes of their Koverrujnant depended upon the widest dif fusion, of Intelligence, it was evident that a system of free publlo schools supported by public 1 taxation Would Inevitably become there a. fixed public policy. With two systems In force It would be obvious that Hi one where tuition waa free would grow the faster, and therefore it waa equally obvious that those who paid for their own the stock went on increasing for some time and rearhed close upon 700.000 tons In March last, hut it now seems to te aecreamng week by week. The apparent cause of the recent ad vance In warrant Is the fact that what was only a hope or expectation when the Cleve land speculation began has now become a reality. America has come Into the mat' ket two years later than the " aforesaid speculators anticipated. And . America has also come Into the market for Scotch ordi nary Iron. But after all the purchases for American, both of Cleveland and Scotch Iron, do not seem In the aggregate to have as Vet exceeded 100.000 tone.e That is but a small proportion of our aggregate produc tion, and but a flea bite In comparison with American 'figures: It may be said that the furnaces In the states are producing at the rate of M, 000,000 tons per annum.

(Special.) The tea and silk trades of China arc In a bad way and there Is no use on the part of t lie government to longer attempt to disguise this fact. In 1M4 the silk represented 82 per cent of the Imports of the empire. Now they account for only 45 per cent. The commissioner of customs at Canton la au thority for the atatement that the tea Industry seems doomed. The Ixmdon customs tn 1&04 registered (.000 chet of tea, adulterated with filings and sand; hence it may be Inferred that the tea consumer alone are not to blame. TIiIb shifting of the fa trade can best be shown by the fact that In 1904 the United Kingdom consumed lfi.S37,73) pounds of China tea, as against 240.238.925 pounds from India, and Ceylon, Hnd In 1905 only ,.V.0 pounds. Other countries will show an even greater percentage of loss, though the sta tistics are not as well kept as In the case of tho I'nlted Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. Yankee Device lard. British and American commercial agents are at lat moving In Chlnn. which swarms with Japanese agents, traders and peddlers. The modernising of China Is procefuing rapidly. The railways are heavily patron ised. Peking is plastered with posters j showing great commercial activity along the moat approved Yankee lines. One single thing will give the outsider an Idea of how the modern Peking is Improving along modern lines. Though It will hardly be believed, it is nevertheless the truth that the best equipped of steam rollers are used in flattening the streets. The latest statistics would make it ap pear as though the boycott of American goods in China la proving futile. It is stated that the latest statistics bearing upon the subject show an Increase from $2t0flu,0tt In 1104 to ti, 01)0.000 In IMS. Work of Missionaries. A groat deal of discussion is going on in the Chinese newspapers Just at present an to tho .work of the missionaries In China. Perhaps nothing: could show the difference between the old China and the new like a eltnplo statement of the fsct that Chinese editors evau Ur-to print nrguni-nts in favor of . the missionaries without shiver ing and trembling for foar that .their offices may be mobbed by tho indignant natives. It appears to be. the consensus of the opin ions of the editors of the various publica tions that In order to learn the truth about tho missionary movement Inquiries must be TOTAL ABSTINENCE TALK Prohibition Is o rnaalbte I'nder Conditions Which ovr Kxlst In "rollnnd, GI-.W.OW. Nov. It. (Ppei lnl.i At' o .re cent public meeting under the auspices of tho R. ottlsh Tempcnii.re legislation vail the solicitor general for Scotland. Mr. Alex ander Trc. N. C, M. P.. the principal arker. said If It were practicable ho would hold that the best cure for the drink problem would be the extinction of the drink traffic altogether, but he was a prac tical politician, lie regarded the problem not as a vice to bo extinguished, not as a crfmo to be suppressed, but aa ft question nf the halilta and the customs of the peo ple. Now they were powerless to effect a change In the habits of a nation unless thev had at their back the vat over whelming mass of public opinion. In his opinion It would lie impossible to com mand at the present moment an adequate torce and volume of public opinion to abso lutely prohibit the drink traffic In all parts of Scotland, and it was now almost uni versally agreed that If prohibition was to be carried, at all It must be by a very substantial majority, and the minimum that had! been suggested even by extreme temperance reformers was a two-thirds ms Jorlty of the ''electors voting, or. a clear majority of the electors on the roll. Now, In favor of absolute prohibition they would no doubt be able to count upon a generous estimate 10 pr cent of the electors to giej them steady support, but in order to carry absolute prohibition they would require to reinforce their ten out of ion by fifty-seven out of the remaining ninety. He did not dispute that In sparsely populated districts they never would be lucky enough to se cure fifty-seven out of ninety nonabstaln ers In support of absolute prohibition. The proposal was that nonabstalners. who were In the vast majority. wett to have prc sentocl to them only two alternatives ab solute prohibition on the one hand or ki ting things remain as they are on the other. The result was that they could not con I sclentlounly support either alternative. Tho consequence waa that they were shut out of the fighting ranks altogether, and tem perance reformers lost the aid of men whose aid waa absolutely essentia! If they wero to attain succes. The consequences were twofold. If tliey. failed to carry ab solute prohibition they gave great encour agement to the out-and-out supporters of the drink traffic, and they seriously dis couraged temperance reformers amongst nonabstalners. In his opinion there was another and a better way than to leave things aa they are. If they could not find it practicable to carry absolute, prohibition.

Two rival tneories aa to tne taxing i worthy that men like M . tioron, wno was everybody for the education of the rising I generation would thus develop; one that such taxation waa only necessary and justifiable far enough to fit them for the common duties of cltlienshlp and the other llvit It was also to the public Interest to fH them for anything. Heavy taxpayers would naturally lead In the first; those who felt leas the burden of taxation or paid no - taxes tn the second. Thus could be easily . foreseen a struggle between those who wished to limit tha free public school to primary education and these who wished ' to carry It through secondary achoola to colleges and universities, Aaacrlcaa Progress. Two centuries of educational evolntlon In the I'nlted States seemed to be ending in a system' ranging from the alphabet to the classics, the modern languages, literature, history, civics, the tojgher mathematics and - sclmtcn. with a strong leaning to practical applications cf science In all. fiel-ls of art nnd Industry, sustained absolutely at the public expense and free to all with every iii ade open to the poorest and the most rrlendless pupil In the grade below, on the aingle requirement that his standing thwe fitted him for It. This system has grown tn the early years of the present century into a total enrollment in the schools and cjollega and universities of the Unltod flutes, aublio "'l private, of 17.S30.0OO u plls, of whom H.i:7,U0O wera In publio In stitutions, supported by taxation. When the enrollment for certain teperlal Interests, evening schools. Ipdlan schools, schools for deaf, dumb and blind, feeble-minded, etc., were added, the grand total waa rear'ied of la.W7.000. Nearly one-fourth of the total population waa at school tn a population of K.GOU,t. One nf the richest and most Independent of the new universities, that of Chicago, endowed try John D.

The membere of the crew of the French Newfoundland I cod-fishing vessel Chrlstophe Colomb. con tinue to tell the most remarkable tales of their disappearance. For they were un heard of for over seven months, and had long slnca been given up as lost. . When brought to . Fecamp the boat waa badly disheveled, tho mlssen meat being missing. All of the members of the crew wero In good health. ' They still had over a ton of biscuit on bord and sufficient water, but other provisions had given out, and for two or three daya they had lived on salted cod and biscuit. When the ves sel slowly forged Ita way into the wide rhajinel leading to Fecamp harbor, and Us captaJu called out the name of the man a novelty In the streets of Nsw York and Ban Francisco. Then, too, the treaty port trader his mind's eye fixed on trade rather than upon religious subjects knows little about the matter. lie Is quite likely to argue rtg&liiMt the missionaries more so than any of the educated Chinamen. If arguments, will -not suffice the treaty port trader can generally be relied upon to dig up one or two atories of "rice" Christians familiar to the early-comers. One thing may be taken for granted. It Is a absurd to srgue from old facts either in America or :hina. A generation ago there was no doubt some grounds for sus pecting that ninny sd-callcd converts adopted Christianity for what they could get. The policy of making "rice" Chrts- I lions, to use the: expressive phrase In the I old days, wus even upheld by the wisest j of missionaries. It has long si mo been definitely abandoned. A generation ago I men were often sent out as missionaries In the Orient becauso they were not clever to work at home. It Is claimed that thla has all been changed and that the Orient now sex; .ires for the missionary field the pick of the Scottish and American colleges. Cer tain It Is that many of these men were tested by flm and blood during the recent Boxer uprising and that they stood the test. Ideas Are ( kasglsg, "When I first came, to China," said one cf the most fsmoua of the living mission aries, "I raw the odd side of missions. I wrote accordingly.

(Special.) noma time ago American women In Berlin founded a woman's club, where no distinctions of nationality were to be observed. The other evening Miss Hay, the club secretary, made a speech which has caused a split among the Berlin club women. She vlokiinly. attacked the morality of the Ger man women and suggested that they should take as a model their American sisters. She also Implored all American women living In Germany to devote their energies to raising the moral standing of German omen. She concluded, "Wo must rsiso them from the slough of Immorality In which they live." Hardly had these last words been uttered when numerous German women present stormed the platform, uttering fierce cries. Miss Hay was with difficulty rescued from the hands of the most excited of the Oer- mans. Many or tne American women pres ent, terrified at the anger of the Germans- rushed out of the room. Most of the Germans present had come poat to tne isgmnous. Keeper n vne e. u ; There are today over , Protetunt mls of the J-tty.
