THE EVENING STAR, SATURDAY, JANUARY 29, 1898—24 PAGES SENATORS IN CHINA What Messrs. Cannon, Pettigrew and Dubois Saw There. ae THE PARTITION OF CHINA CONSIDERED How to Develop Our Relations With the Yellow Kingdom. — STION AND TRADE _— SILVER QUE (Copyrighted, 1808, by Frank G. Carpenter.) Written for The Evening tar. ST SUMMER AND fall three United “oo Le senators trav- = eled through China cw .— and Japan invest! gating the comm cial and industrial conditions of the peo- ple, and looked into all matters of inter- if: est to the United ifr States. This senato- f rial trio was made sl! up of former Senator ad Dutois of Idaho, and Senators Pottigrew of South Dakota and Cannor of Utah. They left for China at the close of the last session and arrived home just before the present session began. During their travels they visited nearly every part of Japan, spent some months in central and north China, consulting with Li Hung Chang and other rabobs in Pe- king, and took an overiand trip to the great Chinese wall. I had a long interview the other night with Senator Frank Cannon about his trip. He has come back impressed with the greatness of the Chinese and full of new ideas concerning their future. Said he: “We people of the western world know but little of the Chinese. We have thought that they were sinking back and going into @ decline. My impression is that they are simply crouching to spring at the rest of the world. I think they will have the rest of mankind by the threat inside of a generation. If Russia, Germany and England divide up China, they will only stimulate her productive’ powers. They will organize the Chinese, and the 400,000.- 0 people of the Chine: empire will be- come producers. The foreigners will intro- duce modern machinery, and this will mul- tiply the possible amount of production from five to a hundredfold. I tell you it will revolutionize the world, and the change will be almost instantaneous.” Chinese Aptitude. “Don't you think you exaggerate the atility of the Chinese?” Not a bit,” replied Senator Cannon. “They are a wonderful people. Take a lit- tle incident that happened while we were in Peking. We were going to visit the as- tronomical instruments of what is called the Chinese observatory on the wall which runs about the city. There are magnifi- ccnt spheres and hemispheres of bronze there, which were made 300 years ago. and which are almest perfect now. We had as a guide a little half-naked, dirty Chines= boy, not more than fourteen years old. He looked meaner and more ignor- ent than any ragamuffin you can pick up on the street here today. When he had Suided us to the top of the wall, he climbed upon the great celestial globe and with hi dirty finger pointed out to us the various constellations. He seemed to know all about astronomy and de: ibed what every instrumert was for. The Chinese can learn anything. Some of them have come here to school. They stand high in their classes. They can handle machinery and they are, I believe, the best raw material in the way of man to be found in the industrial world of today. “The resources of China are wonderful. China has a greater variety and wealth of mineral resources than any country on earth. My special attention was called to the prov'nees of Shansee and Honan, to- gether a rge as New York and Kansas. Th two states pport by farming a Population of nearly forty millions, and at the same time they have more coal and fron clese together than has ever been found in any part of the United States. The peopl= are iiving now by what they get out of their soil by agriculture. If the foreigners divide up China, they will add to this a manufacturing product far greater than the agricultural one. China has soil that will produce cotton in any quantity. They cen raise long staple cotton and their latitudinal range for cotton is three times that of the United States. The cotton manu- factured tn China is all native cotton, and they are putting up many new cotton mills. Why, they raise cotton, -wheat and beans in the same field, and I was tol they had been doing this for 3 000 years.” The New Railways, “Did you find any railroad building going en?” “Some, but not a great deal. We went over @ railroad from Tientsin to Tung-Chow on our way to Peking. The crs were very good. They were built in China and they cost less than any cars in the world. The new roads are well built and those which are now plan- ned will cpen up a country containing more than a hundred million people. The Chinese patronize the roads, and I have no doubt but that they will pay well. As yet, how- ever, boats and wheelbarrows form the chief freight and passenger cars of the country. In going to the Chinese wall I rode most of the way on a donkey. I took @ short ride on a wheelbarrow, and during @ part of my travels I rode in a Chinese cart, which is about the hardest method I have ever known. Did you meet Li Hung Chang? ¥ we spent an afternoon with him, and a long chat about Chinese and rratters.”” you see him?” Li now lives in a Buddhi For twenty years when- has been in Peking ke has stopped at this monastery. He has his secretary, an American named Pethick, with him, and he watches from there the affairs of the world with Kis eagle eye. He has not been raded. alihough he has not the power at he had in the past. He is a sort of a dictator of China in regard to ( ‘airs. The Chinese cannot get along witheut him, and t are cordial in rel He is very strong With empercr and the empress dow- axer, and the robles of the court are rather afraid of him. ‘They are afraid of what he nt do in Peking. ard also afraid of their treatment of him. th what he might do in foreign countries” van nat did Li Hung Chang say about the “He ed an intim: 1 - ate knowledge of t conditions.

They have an idea that the Chinese will be great consumers and their desires are com- mercial rather than territorial. I believe they will be disappointed. The Chinese will be great producers, but it will be a long time before they will be great consumers. They can live on almost nothing. I visited mills in China where the workmen were paid twenty cents a day in silver. This ‘sufficed to support their families. I saw ap making bollers, doing work for which peid from $3 to $6 per day in our coun- try, who were getting twenty-five cents in our money there. They did as good work gs-our boiler makers, too. Farm laborers get less than tem cents a dey. They don't know what luxury is, and they are eco- ncmical in the extreme.” “But will they not be changed by the foreigners coming in?” “I think not. China will always be China no matter who the rulers are. I den’t believe they care much who rule them. They think that they are the great- €st people in the world, and although they have been subjugated again and again, they have gone on in their old ways and made their conquerors adopt their cus- toms. China makes me think of a sponge lying on the seashore of time. “The tidal waves of revolution sweep over it, but when they go back they do not carry with them any of the sponge, but sponge has absorbed some of the tidal wave. Take a single instarce. When the Manchus wh» are now ruling China first ccnquered the Chinese, they passed a law that every Chinaman should shave his head and wear a pig tail as a mark o! jvgation. The Chinese _ protested. dreds of thousands of them refused and had their heads cut off in consequence. At lest, however, they adopted the custom and they have made it so necessary to self-respect in China that the Manchus themselves now also wear pig tails and shave their crowns. “The Chinese are different from any race of the world. We produce our results by ex- pulsion and ageression. The Chinese brings about his results by absolute passivity, by the wonderful force of non-resistance and eternal waiting. A man’s life is a pin point in the Chinese idea of time. If a thing does not happen now, it will come in the time of his great-grandchildren, and he feels that he can affo-d to wait. The motto of our civilization is ‘Now,’ and if not now ‘Never.’ ‘The Chinaman looks at his family record for generations back and believes that his children for generations to come will wor- ship at his shrine and have the benefit of his patient waiting. Would Make Good Soldiers. “The war with Japan ought to have taken some of the conceit out of the Chi- nese, but it did not. In the interior of China 90 per cent of the people did not know that the war was going on, and the other 10 per cent firmly be- lieved, and still believe, that China con- quered, and that the Japanese have been compelled to pay tribute. Celebrations are now taxing place in the back districts of China in commemoration of the great vic- teries which their soldiers wor over the Japanese.” “I don't thing much of the Chinese army. I remember seeing the emperor's body guard as he made his way from the sum- mer palace to his palace in Peking, and two of our party incurred the danger of death by looking at the emperor. The emperor's body guard was 100 per cent worst than Falstaff's army in appearance. A Kansas cowboy coulé have captured the whole lot of them, and the emperor into the bargain. Why, it was more like a comic opera than like the guerd of an emperor who rules one of the greatest nations of the world. And stil? these Chinese would make good sol- diers, if they were well trained. I saw a man out jot hunting near Peking who had a gun which had neither sight nor lock. He held the gun in his left hand and dis- charged it by touching the primer with a taper in his right hand. He did this while he aimed at the snipe and killed it. That man thought he had a modern gun, and that is a sample of the way in which many of the soldiers were armed. “If the English combine with the Jap- anese they could control everything in China. The Japanese could hold in check all other forces there. Japan is well armed and she is putting up magnificent fortifica- tions everywhere. The Japanese people are intensely patriotic and they are now being taught to hate Russia. In the schools of Japan little children are now taught to parse the sentence, ‘We must grow up to fight Russia.’ “I think we ought to do everything we can to encourage our commercial relations with Asia. We need the great markets ot the far east and we should have the closest associations with the Chinese. They ought to come here to get their money rather than to England. They naturally favor us more than they do the European nations, but they must have money to make im- provements and to establish modern meth+ ods. I was told that the Chinese would much prefer to borrow from us. There is no doubt of the security. The Chinese are the most honest people on the face of the earth. They will keep their word at any cost. Why, a Chinaman to vay a debt ot honor or of money, will often go and give his head az a substitute to the executioner for some man who is under ‘sentence ot death. He will sell his head for a hundred dollars, women sell themselves into slavery to pay their debts and the word ‘bank- rupt’ in China is almost as disgraceful as the word ‘thief.'” # FRANK G. CARPE: > NATIVE COREAN COSTUMES. NTER. They Wear Thickly Padded Stockings - All Summer. K. B. Surh in the Roanoke Collegian. Corea is the land of white garments and black hats. All the men in this country, except coolies, wear either white or blue long flowing gowns. Cotton and silk goods are worn in winter and linen and hemp in summer. During the last several years a great deal of silk has been imported, both from China and Japan, the native article being of little value. ‘The ordinary street gown generally has three broad flaps, one of which hangs down the back and the other two in front overlap each other, then are tied with a pair of long ribbons of the same material. The flaps reach within a few inches of the ground. The gown has very wide and long sieeves, in each of which one might carry a beby without its being noticed, and they are long enough to conceal the hand com- pietely, while an extersion ef the sleeve reaches almost as low as the flaps above mentioned. Another gown of the same pat- tern, except with shorter and narrower sleeves, is always worn under the first. But persons in the government service, in- cluding all members of the nobility, wear a ‘ing from one to three large flaps, ‘e broad toward the ends. This gown, with the excepticn of its sleeves, is more like the dress of an American girl of twelve or fourteen. It is always made of fine goods, well starched, and on windy days its flaps and sleeves create quite a fluttering and rustling noise in the streets. The winter coats and trousers—the latter always white—are very large and heavily padded with cotton. A most singular thing is that the hose worn by Coreans are al- ways thickly padded in summer as well as in winter; corsequently, every one seems to have thick and large feet, although quite the contrary is true. The ordinary street hats have broad brims and high crowns. They are made of fine bar-boo splits and are covered with fine linen cloth and then lacquered with black. Hats covered with silk are worn by people of rank. Persons in mourning for their parents wear hats as large as um- brellas and of similar shape. They are made of coarse bamboo splits without any covering of cloth. It is customary for every T™mourner to carry a little kempen screen attached to the ends of two bamboo sticks keld up conveniently in frort of his face. These uncomfortable trappings are intend+ ed to indicate his regret that he did not make his parent or parents happier while they were livirg. So it is that for a period of one or two years he is ashamed of see- ing the heavens and of looking upon the beautiful objects of nature. There are a reat many other varieties of neadwear by which one can tell conditions and to a great extent positions in society. ———-e-______ What Parisians Breathe. From the Philadelphia Recofl. To the painstaking researches of M. Mi- quel, the eminent French scientist, is due an almost exact knowledge of the relative quality of micro-organisms peculiar to dit- ferent localities in Paris, and the informa- tion thus presented affords an interesting study. In the Park de Monsouris, in the south of that city, he found some 480 of such organisms in one cubic metre of air; that is, in a little more than one square yard; while in the Rue de Rivoli there were nearly 3,500 in one cubic metre; in a room in the Rue Monge he found 36,000 in the same space, while in fifteen grains of dust scraped up in a room there the showing of micro-organisms reached the figure of 2,- 100,000. ‘Specifically considered, therefore, the solid impurities in the air of a large i ADVERTISED LETTERS. ‘The following is a lst of advertised letters re- maining in the Wi (@D. ©.)

Until recently the United States secured about all its pearl buttons from abroad at a great cost to the people of this country. Now cut at Muscatine, Ia., there are twelve factories, employing over 1,500 persons and running about 3,000 saws. The buttons from these factories now bring better prices than eastern goods. How did this great industry, which will save millions of dollars to this country, get started? Much as many others have. An observing man, a Mr. Benples, .saw that there were thousands of tons of mussel shells in the Mississippi bottoms. He no- ticed the pearl-like lining of these shells and concluded to utilize his discovery. A small factory was started and from that has grown the present great industry. This is Mlustrative of the development of many like enterprises in this country and elsewhere. The man who observes, reflects and plans has the advantage over the one who simply accepts what he finds at his hand. Waste materials are lying around on every side, and he who can find a use for them, if EDUCATIONAL. iN WASHINGTON. PIANO INSTRUCTION. SPRCL to beginners, 7 daily. Feb. 5, at 11 am. All are welcome.
