T The greatest of these is the disposition of city waste. In disposing of sewage and green garbage and the daily accumulation of rubbish in a city is involved sanitation and all of its wide-reaching responsibilities. In New York Commissioner Woodbury of the| street cleaning department has sought to find some better means for the disposition of waste and garbage { than the present plan of taking it on scows to dump in the lower bay. As a result of the present method the shores of Long Island and far down the Jersey le are defiled by great masses of filth that is piled up by the tides. Getting rid of a nuisance in the city that plan is simply transferring it to another lo- This presents the problem of its efficient de- But when this is considered the element of | cost appears as a bar to its adoption.

[ that of gold, so that the Mexican silver dollar will be worth more than the fifty cents in gold at which | | the Government purposes to maintain it. The silve‘rw‘ i using countries of the world are to be asked to agfee“ }10 meet such an emergency by adopting the policy that bullion for coinage shall be taken only when it | | is at or below the ratio of 32 to I. ! | P e T e el | | The Governor of Massachusetts recently said the | Legislature is like a man who puts his head through | | a canvas and permits any one to throw eggg at him | for a small consideration, and now the Legislature is | accusing the Governor of making a foul throw. and seems to have solved it by reducing a large part He has erected an experi- where the rubpish that for fuel in power plants. mental plant for this purpose, pressure, by which it is compressed into bricks of a size convenient for use in furnaces. A large num- ber of the engineers of power plants have examined | this fuel and have made such experiments with it as seem to prove that it can be sold by the city at a price that pays a profit on its preparation and at the | same time is cheaper for the buyer than coal or oil. | The experiments have been conducted by Professor Parsons of the department of steam engineering at the T'roy Polytechnic Institute, and by Mr. Hill, chief en- gineer of the department of water supply and gas sup- ply, who found that 3437 pounds of this waste fuel produced 134 horsepower. One of the engineers said that it is better fuel than is being used on the aver- | age by the electric lighting plants of the country. Inasmuch as the great problem in all cities is the | ient disposition of this waste, it is not remark- able that the press of New York City is fo]lo\\mg this expertment with keen interest. It is estimated that that city produces one million This | means cubic vards after hydraulic compression. To | simply relocate such a mass of material, leaving it to | the slow process of decay, means an ineffective and ry dealing with the problem.

It basis. plan no means radical in gress, by | does not aim at giving Mexico a gold currency, for the country is not rich enough for that, itself with providing for a silver currency which shall be maintained by the Government at a certain rela- tion to gold, so that it will not be subject m the | fluctuations of silver bullion. As explained by Limantour the principle on which the plan is based is that of a silver currency of lim- ited volume, backed by a gold reserve to meet any depreciation in value. There is to be no more free and unlimited coinage. The Government will cojn 100,000,000 of @ new Mexican dollar, legal tender for and the old dollars will be demonetized. If they are out of the country they can only be im- There will be specific fund of $25,000,000 in geld, time, the silver dollar should fall below its fixed value of 50 cents in gold the Gov- | ernment may purchase silver dollars for gold and | thus re-establish the parity. In an interview on the subject Limantour in fur- ther explanation of the plan said: “It is not our aim to try to increase the market value of the Government seeks to do is make sure that our silver money shall stop its disturbing fluc- tuations.” He went on to point out that the fluctu- ations of recent years have been so great that the ordinary business man in Mexico has been perforce a speculator in exchange. Every variation in the ster- ling exchange market has sent the value of Mexican property up or down, so that the situation has be- come intolerable. He went on to add: “Our aim is not to interfere with the use of silver or to put gold basis restrictions upon it. Owur aim, our necessity, is to have our silver money worth, day by day and year in and year out, some certain fixed value upon which business can rely, upon which business contracts can be safely based—which will give business interests the oppor- tunity to proceed sanely. With this end accom- plished we put Mexico far forward, and to-day it can be accepted as sure that success is attained.” 1t is further explained that the demonetization of the old silver dollar will not act as a repudiation. Most of the issue is now in foreign countries, where it has been for a long time circulating on a pure com- modity basis, so that the action of the Mexican Gov- ernment will not materially affect it. Limantour es- timates that since Mexico began the issues there have silver. been put forth about $2,400,000,000. Time was when ‘the coin passed.readily at its face value, or better, in ‘wheu. me to put it over many other things which | but contents | CHINESE - TRADE. ROM reports just published by the Treasury Bureau of Statistics it appears that those who expect great things of Chinese trade are over- | sanguine in their estimates of the consuming power | | of that people and of the rapidity with which their | trade with the outer world is increasing. China’s | much talked of “emormous consumption of manu-+ factured goods” is prospective rather than real, and the prospect is not near at hand, but far off. | The extent of the trade of China is best exhibited | in contrast with that of civilized nations. The popu- lation of the empire is variously calculated at from 300,000,000 tO 400,000,000, yet its total foreign trade | for the year 1002 was but $330,000,000. In the dec-| ade which had passed since 1892 the increase was | | only about §36,000,000. When compared with pro- gressive nations that amount of trade and trade ex- | | pansion is almost insignificant. The statistics of the | Bureau of Statistics show that the total commerce | | of the Netherlands with other nations in 1902| amounted to $1,501,000,000, or more than four times !hat of Chi The foreign commerce of Germany ‘\\as $2,484,000,000; that of the United States $2,493,- 000,000; that of the United Kingdom, $4,038,000,000. Our trade with China during the year under re- view amounted to about $49,000,000, or 15 per cent | of the whole, and it is steadily growing. The growth, however, is slow. In comparison with our trade with Zuropean countries it amounts to little, and does not even measure up with our trade with some Ameri- can countries. Thus the figures show that our trade with Cuba, for instance, is $77,000,000; with Mexico, it is $83,000,000; with British North America it is $173,000,000. With these three neighbors our trade is more than times that with China and is larger than the total foreign trade of the empire. The chief interest of foreign trade with China lies in the immense possibilities that await the full de- velopment of the country. It is for that reason so much concern is felt over the menace of Russian domination. A Russian conquest, or any other form of control over the Chinese would virtually check | all tendencies to freedom and commercial expansion; while on the other hand control by the progressive peoples of the earth, whether Americans, British, Germans or French, would hasten the coming of the time when her people would have a consuming power something like that of civilized men. Her trade would then soon become as vast as the most sanguine expect. The issue of Russian aggression in Man- churia is therefore a matter of great moment to the whole civilized world, and it is not strange that far- seeing statesmen are sceking for a means of guarding | against it. Eastern paragraphers are saying that those who re- ported’ the death of Joaquin Miller were “Joaquin,” as it were; but as we do not call it “Jokin” out| here the point isn't apparent. | PROGRESS IN SPAIN. S trous dream of vast colonial empire. Philip II, thinking of his possessions in America, Asia, Europe and the islands of the sea, said: “I am the richest baptized man on earth. The sun shines al- ways on my possessions.” The spirit of that boast affected the imaginations of his countrymen, and the |pulic_v of his country, to the neglecting of the devel- opment of their home resources. They let their for- ests be destroyed, their rivers dry up, their mines go into disuse and their manufacturing industries obso- lete, while dreaming of the glitter and glory of em- { pire and wealth in their tropical colonies. ow Philip’s empire is gone. Scarcely a bit of it big | enough Yo drill a regiment on remains under that flag which, in his time, fluttered in the sun clear around the world. Men are controlled by circumstances and nations are made up of men. Necessity is the saving in- fluence upon both. Spain can dream of empire no more, so she is compelled to come down to the ground and see what she can do with what she has under her own feet. For years she has not smelted her iron, but has permitted the export of the ore and has imported the metal she required. Now Span- iards are building smelters and the nation proposes to produce its own iron and steel. Spanish nail- makers have always imported the nail rods used in their manufacture. Now great mills are being con- structed to produce these nail rods at home. Steel works have been built at Badalona capable of turn- ing out steel castings of first quality and of produc- ing twenty-two different varieties of steel, from the softest to the hardest. Spain once produced the steel that was in the Toledo blades. She can do so again. It is believed that reinstallation of her metal manu- facture and trade will inspire into being various other industries, and the whole world hopes that this may be so. The Government has taken hold of irrigation to bring into action large lracts.of land long infer- tile by reason of aridity. Education is being modern- ized, and the national energy, diverted from military glory and the colonial wars, is going back into prac- tical lines. As a result there is a prospect of a hap- pier and more prosperous Spain than existed in the time of Charles and Philip, and no people will more rejoice thereat than the Americans, who claim a part in what is coming to that land, because they shook Spain out of her sleep and dissipated her dreams.

Peters, in the Attorney General's of- fice in the Capitol building, to gain his help through failure to prosecute gam- | bling cases In the Circuit Court. Out of‘ this sum the Deputy Attorney General | was to bribe Attorney General Lorrin An- | drews and if necessary other members of the department. The entire negotiations were conducted fn the Attorney General's office on Sun- day afternoon, May 10, with Peters, Tong | Kal and Baker, a Hawaiian who acted as interpreter, supposed to be the only ones in the room. On one side of the Attorney General's office there is a large wardrobe, part of the old royal furniture, a central portion with two side panels. The back of one of these smaller closets had been removed and In this small compartment Attorney General Andrews and A. P. Taylor, a reporter, were concealed. Every word that passed between Deputy Attor-/| ney General Peters and the briber and | his go-between was clearly heard in the | little closet, a stenographic record being taken of the talk. For half an hour the negotiations were | conducted, when Peters brought the pro- | ceedings to a sudden close with the words, | { “Excuge me; I've got to telephone.” This was the signal agreed upon by Mr. Peters | with Attorney General Andrews for the latter and the other witness to step into the room. In the outer room was W. 8.} Flemming of the Attorney General's de- | partment, also ready to enter at the prop- er moment. The Chinaman did not have any money, as he had been selected the night before by members of the huis, or companies. to meet Mr. Peters and ascertain just| what they were to obtain as “protection” | in exchange for the $1500 cash per week | which they were willing to pay him for | his assistance. He was authorized to | make a definite offer of $1300 per week, and the first payment was to be made be opened next Saturday evening. There were about 100 members in the four huis, and these were to employ between 250 or 300 Chinese as distributors of the paka pio tickets. They demanded $500 cash from | Peters to be deposited with some reputa- ble merchant as an evidence of good faith toward the gambling huls. ! Gambling and lotteries have been con- | ducted by the Chinese openly, day and night, for more than a year, and mem- ! bers of the police force have been gen- erally supposed to be the recipients of | bribes for permitting violations of the law, although ralds have been made from time to time. Since Attorney, General Andrews assum- ed office a few months ago, after the res- ignation of Attorney General Dole, he has determined to suppress all gambling and lotteries. He had asked the Legislature for an appropriation for a secret service force to be under his direction and to act independently of the police force. This was turned down, and to officials of the police force was credited the effort to kill | the appropriation. @ sierieleedeiieieiieielminedeleleiniele i @ PROMOTION COMMITTEE ADVERTISES RESOURCES New FPublication Is About to Issue as Guide for Seekers of Homes in California. . | | The California Promotion Committee | held a regular monthly meeting yester- | day.

Willlam Jones, who delivered an eloquent invocation. Then, in succession, came speeches of welcome to the veterans from Mayor Paul Capdeville of New Or- leans, Governor W. W. Heard of Louls- fana and others. As General Gordon rose to reply he was enthusiastically cheered. His address was in part as follows: We will tndulge on The weather not this centennial— this political millennial morning—nor at other | times in any bitterness. We feel none. We pity those who do. We have long since drawn the curtaln of oblivion over the regretful and unseemly things of the past, and we cherish as Americans the valor and noble deeds of | We are | | satisfled with our record and the power that both armies and of all sections. would attempt to make us blush for it would be both stupid and blind.

Moreover, we are pregnant with tremendous ace it with a strength born of an unswerving purpose to discharge our every duty to all races and to the whole country.

And as we go hence we will calmly drop our mantles on the shoulders of our sons who will worthily wear them; and in no_ crisis of the republic, whether In’ forum or fleld, will they be found wanting. At the conclusion of General Gordon's address he led to the front of the plat- form Mrs. Stonewall Jackson and said: “It was my fortune, and I will never cease to thank God that it was my for- tune to follow, to know well and to love Stonewall Jackson. He is not here, but thg best half of him is here in the person of his wife. Comrades, I present to you Mrs. Stonewall Jackson.” ‘Wild cheering swept the hall. “And here’s a young Jackson,” called out the general, leading forward a very pretty girl, Miss Julia Jackson Christian, the granddaughter of the famous soldier. As he spoke he kissed her and the cheers were redoubled for the general and the girl. John H. Reagan, the sole surviving member of the Davis Cabinet, then spoke and an adjournment was taken until the afternoon. The address of Judge Rog- ers consumed the entire afternoon. The Sons of Veterans met at noon in the Crescent Theater, but transacted no business beyond listening to welcoming addresses and appointing various com- mittees. The feature of the evening was the ball given by the Washington Artillery at theilr armory. —_—————— ' MORE SMUGGLED GOODS ’1‘0 BE CONFISCATED | Satsuma Wure and Pieces of Rich Embroidery Concealed in Mrs. Morehouse’s Baggage.
