A Hntl Outlook in ChinIf the news from China today can be

relied upon the rather farcical peace negotiations at Pekin nearly come toan end As early as last August Sir RobertHart and other persons of authority inAsiatic matters quietly warned the Pow-

ers that the Chinese court had not theremotest idea of really submitting tosuch demands as have been made upon itand willingness to negotiate and promises of compliance were merely intended to gain time Ever since the caplureof Pekin and the flight of the EmpressDovager and Kwang Hsu to Signanfu theCbincv have been gathering milittyforces iind manufacturing or smugglingarms and ammunition and as our despatches state they are displaying unmistakable evidences of an intention toresume hostilities in the spring

In Pekin the complications are endless i

and any satisfactory result hopeless Itis now stated that the Chinese envoyshave not signed the peace terms in proper form by which we understand thatthey have left a technical loopholethrough which the court might repudiatetheir action Events seem to be movingfast to a crisis Count von Waldersee isreported to have sent an ultimatum toSignanfu where the reactionary party isin the ascendant and advising the Empress Dowager to refuse all demands antbreak off negotiations with the foreignersThe ultimatum if one has been forwardedprobably refers to the massing of Chi-nese troops in strategic positions whichindicates an Intended campaign againstPekin The yellow spectre as will beseen has by no means been laid Troublefor the civilized world still lurks in China

The HnyPaancefote TreatyThe day is very near at hand when the

time in which ratifications of the HayPauncefote Treaty can be exchanged willcome to an end and the treaty lapseThere appears to be quite a general opinion in official and Senatorial circles thatthe British Government will decline further action in the matter and so permitthe scheme to go quietly overboard This

juree It has been broadly hinted fromndon is dictated by a desire to save

6 face of the Hon John Hay whose ser-ies to the Crown of a descripn entitling him to the most distinshed consideration According to Mrad it Is thought In England that Kingard and Lord Salisbury would have-

n lad to accept the treaty in Itsnd d form but for the supposed objec-

tions of a member of Mr McKlnleys Cab-inet and the wellinformed editor mentioned added that if Mr Hay would au-thorize Mr Choate to assure the Govern-ment that no member of the Cabinet t asopposed to the treaty it would be endorsed at once as a means of signallingthe new Kings desire to be on terms ofclose friendship with America

Mr Stead may have been mistaken orMr Hay may have been thinking of hisold master Abraham Lincoln and thehonest days of Pike and Jim Bludso andold Jedge Phim and so have become

with an American spirit again anda dislike for jughandled treaties and ces-sions of United States territory to GreatBritain It would please us to think thelatter because Mr Hay in his wildestmoments of patriotic Inversion could notdislike the HayPauncefote Treaty any-more than do a vast majority of Ameri-cans capable of an opinion on the subject

If it be true that Great Britain intends-to let the convention lapse the fact whenaccomplished will lift a burden of inver-tebrate aDd unAmerican diplomacy andthe consequences of treachery and

long ago from the shoulders ofthe country Nothing then will stand inthe way of a formal declaration by Congress that the ClaytonBulwer Treaty Isas dead as in truth and effect it has beensince the day when the AmericanBritish negotiators agreed that an articleutterly sulllfyiag the spirit aad consid-eration of the contract should h with

iulrcr shoot with the least unneces-sary delay

The total abstinence crusade has reached Congress and In a truly characteristic-way The Womans Christian TemperanceUnion and other female influences whichforced the abolition of the army post ex-change are now sitting like avenging anjela on the proposed appropriation in aidof the St Louis Louisiana Purchase Ex-position It Is reported that a strongfeminine lobby Is at work and that theSsht te make the fair a dry one will beled on the floor of the House by Represen-tative Littlefield of Maine who was chief

has been tried is cursed with an excessiveamount of public drunkenness Neverthe-less as on the former occasion no doubthe will throw his best devoir to please thesisters

Representative Babcocks tariff viewsare in the line of reform and thereforeare entitled to respect He is undoubt-edly right in claiming that the tariff onmerchandise competing with the produc-tions of the gigantic steel monopoly justformed should be taken off that theAmerican people may not be wholly atthe merry of this pitiless and monstroustrust whose purpose is to monopolize-the whole steel output of the UnitedStates in restraint of trade and againstpublic policy But while we agree withMr Babcock we are compelled to pityhim for what the magnates of his partywill do to him Can he suppose that ata time when the Sugar Trust has beenobeyed by the Administration in the matter of a countervailing duty against Rus-sia which will probably shut American j

steel products out of that Empire theSteel Trust will stand idly by and seeit schemes to plunder the American market go for naught hardly Themultimillionaires in the vast Morgan I

deal are not to be treated negligiblyThey too were among the most eminentand liberal of campaaign contributors Inthis day of reckoning are the Havemeyersto be taken and the others left

Both Senator Frye and Senator Hannarealize that the Subsidy job is dead asfar as the Fiftysixth Congress is concerned though neither will openly admitthe fact But other advocates of themeasure concede the point This makesit probably certain that President MeKinley will call the Fiftyseventh Congresstogether in extraordinary session as soonas practicable after the Fourth of Marchalthough nearly all the Senators andRepresentatives now here who will bemembers of the next Congres are stronglyopposed to the proposition Ostensibly-the reason for the call will be the ne-

cessity for legislation concerning our re-lations with Cuba

The detested Weyler held the post ofCaptain General again yesterday Thistime it was Captain General of Madridand not of Cuba He was appointed toterrify the populace of the Spanish capital and prevent their interference withthe wedding ceremonies of Princess Mer-

cedes Weyler was eminently successful-In preserving order The people hadheard of his Cuban methods which oncethey quite approved But they did notwish to have them applied at home theprocesses being painful-

It would be a polite attention on 3IrMcKinleys part if he should return theCzars present of a photograph album Inkind A good idea would be to prepareone with views of cur various Sugar Trustrefineries and portraits of the Havemeyers Searles Oxnard and Gage HisMajesty doubtless would like to take alook at those plants and persons

LEGISLATION IN DELAWARE

Made Ji MldileniennorDOVER Del Feb 15 The sale anfl

manufacture of cigarettes in the State ofDelaware is prohibited by a bill which haspassed both brandies of theG Legislatureand which will be signed by Governor

todayThe Tobacco Trust had placed a power

ful lobby here against the Brasun billand after passing the bill waspractically killed by an unfavorable com-

mittee report in the House The lawyerswho had been fighting against the billthought it was all over and had practical-ly dropped the matter but RepresentativeHope yesterday called up the measureover the heads of the rareoccurrence in this Legislature and a bitter fight ensued

Representatives Holcomb and Kitchensfought the bill on the ground that it wasa transgression of personal rights and j

also that it would hurt the paper manufacturing interests of the State

Hope denounced any argumentthat sought to array dollars and centsagainst the lives of the boys of the State

Representative Clark read a touchingletter from a boy describing himself as acigarette fiend and praying for the passageof the bill A motion to recommit waslost by a vote of 22 to 12 a motion topostpone action until Thursday was lostby an almost unanimous vote and the bill j

was passed by a vote of 19 to 14The law could hardly be a more

stringent one It makes it a misdemean-or subject to fine and imprisonment tomanufacture or sell in this State cigarettes cigarette paper or cigarette tobacco It is even said that nonresidentsare liable for sending them through themail by the law passed two years agoapplying to any crime begun in anotherState and carried out or consummated inDelaware

Representative Holcomb tried to get hisSingle Tax bill passed but failed It j

had been favorably reported by a HouseCommittee and called for the assess-ment of real estate and improvementsthereon to be made in separate columnsMr fought the bill as uncon-stitutional and it was defeated by avote of 16 to 12 five members not voting

The Senate bill authorizing the townof Seaford to establish a water lihtand sewage plant passed the House andbecame a law after a petition had beenpresented signed by over threefourthsof the taxpayers of the town The townconsists almost entirely of frame buildings and has practically no protectionfrom fire

GRAY MAY RETIRE

Revival of time Rumor Concerningihe Supreme Conrt Justice

The speculation which a year ago wasbased on the possible retirement of Justice Horace Gray from the United StatesSupreme Court under the age limit hasbeen revived with renewed energy and interest although without known causeJustice Gray attained the age of

which is seventytwo years lastMarch and this interestinng circumstancegave rise to much gossip at that time asto whether or not he would claim theprivilege provided br law No reasonother than this has ever been asigned forJustice Gray quitting the bench

His appearance indicates ibarhe is Inthe enjoyment or robust health and theproceedings of the Supreme Court stillbear testimony to the unimpaired contin-uation of his oldtime mental vigor andclarity But in spite of this the talk ofJustice Grays retirement from the benchat a comparatively early date whichmeans that it may occur within the nextyear or two has been revived

Naturally this has given rise to a gooddeal of speculation as to his successor-It probably is significant that the speculation is not only confined to Massach-

usetts lawyers but also that it takes account almost wholly of only two namesUnder the unwritten law which governsthe President In the selection of members-of the Supreme Court the vacancy thatwould be caused should Justice Gray re-tire would belong to New England Justice Gray was chief justice of the Massachusetts supreme judicial court whenPresident Arthur in 1881 called him tothe tribunal of last resort at WashingtonThe judge who now occupies the place InMassachusetts that was so long held byJustice Gray Is Oliver Wendell Holmesjr son of the late Autocrat of theBreakfast Table and regarded by manywriters on Jurisprudence as one of thegreatest jurors of the day

Justice Holmes is being much talkedabout as the probable successor of JusticeGray as Is also Alfred Hemenway of Boaton an acknowledged leader of the Massachusetts bar and the law partner ofSecretary Long The Governor once of-

fered Mr Hemenway a place In the supreme judicial court of Massachusetts-but he declined It As these are the onlynames that are being discussed for thevacancy that would be caused by the retirement of Justice Gray it is consideredlikely that will be urged with greatinsistence when the proper time to do so

sembly WednesdayThe fact that the Young Mins Christian

Association of the State was against thebill did not develop until William S Burnett reprrsenting the association branch-es opposed the bill because it took fromphysical directors In gymnasiums iheright to recommend exercises to cure illsof the human body

This was also the first appearance ofthe Spiritualists They said that the passage of the measure would interfere withthe rights of legitimate clairvoyants whoIt was alleged had the only real power toproperly diagnose disease

Two amendments were offered one byDr Elliott Harris of New York theother by Judge Charles Z Lincoln Al-bany Both were for the purpose of mak-ing the measure less stringent JudgeLincolns in the interest of Christian Scientists Dr Harris was a com-promise which would place all those whopractice medicine or cures under somesupervision of the State

GREAT GAIN IN EXPORTS

American Products Groivingr in Pop-ularity Abroad

The growing popularity of Americanproducts in those parts of the world inwhich all the manufacturing and export-ing nations are making eranest endeavorsto extend their commerce is illustrated-by the Treasury Bureau of Statisticsshowing the exports by grand divisionsand countries in lOO compared with 1890

These figures are published in the Decem-ber number of the Monthly Summary ofCommerce and Finance and cover thecalendar years from 1890 to 1900

They show that our exports to Europeincreased during that period from GS2

000000 to H116pOOOOO or 63 per cent toNorth America from 95000000 to 19S

000000 or 108 per cent to South Americafrom 535000000 to JJllpOO000 or less than20 per cent to Asia from 522000000 to5S000000 or 163 per cent to Oceania

from 17000000 to 40000000 or 132 percent and to Africa from 4500000 to23000000 or 4i6 per cent To South

America the growth has been compara-tively small but to Asia Oceania andAfrica the percentage of growth it willbe observed has been phenomenallylarge and in nearly every instance thegain has heeD greater than that of theother countries cpippeting for that commercee

A more detailed analysis consideringthe exports country by country also

some interesting facts and thisis presented in the table which followsThe United Kingdom whinn stood atthe head of our list of customers in 1890 still maintains thatposition but only shows an increase ofless than 50 per cent while Germany j

whose commercial relations with theUnited States have been the subject of jmuch discussion shows an increase ofmore than 100 per cent and an increase-of over 35000000 in the single year 1SOOcompared with the preceding year Francewhich stood third in the list of our cus-tomers in 1890 is now fifth Canadawhich was fourth on the list in 1890 hastaken third rank and Netherlands whichwas sixth in 1S90 is now fourth in thelist To Hongkong the exports of 1900are double those of 1890 to British Australalia two and onehalf times as muchto China nearly three times as muchand to Japan more than five times asmuch a sthose of 1S0 while to BritishAfrica the figures of 1900 are six timesas much a stbosc of 1890

SHORT IN HIS ACCOUNTS

WEST CHESTER Pa Feb 15 WalterT Jackson a prominent real estate op-

erator of Coatesvile has not been seenfor several days Some years ago William-H Grouse a wellknown resident ofCoatesville died leaving a comfortable estate His wife Louisa Grouse and twominor children Harry and FannIe ACrouse survived him Walter P Jacksondesired to take out letters on estateand letters of administration were grantedhim His bondsmen were his father Oli-

ver C Jackson and Dr J W Pratt LaterOliver Jackson was appointed guardian ofthe minor children

After more taaa two years had elapsedHayes of West Chester wereemployed as counsel by the widow andthey sought to have the administrator tofile his account which should have beenfiled a year before that time Being una-ble to induce him by other means theyasked the court for a citation which wasgranted When he finally filed his ac-count exceptions were taken to it byHayes Hayes acting for the wid6w andminors and William S Windle appointed auditor-

It was evident he had not accounted foreverything as In his report the auditorsurcharged the accountant over 51000 Ex-ceptions were taken by his counsel JFrank E also by HayesHayes the latter contending that the sur-charge was less than It should have beenThe court took tho latter view of mat-ters and increased the amount of the suncharge considerably An appeal was takento the Superior Court hut the latter hand-ed down an opinion fwo weeks sus-taining the Chester County Court

Then on the 6th instant Judge Hemphill handed down a decree directing Jackson to pay to J Carroll Hayes attorneyfor the guardian of said minors Harry SCrouse and Fannie A Crouse about to beappointed by the court the sum of 19S6for each of said minors together with le-gal interest thereon from December 111S99 up to the time of such payment andthat said administrator pay th costs ofsaid appeal to the Superior Court

Notwithstanding this decree Jacksonfailed to pay over the funds and last Mon-day at the instance of a petition signedby Mrs Crouse and her children the elderJackson was removed as the guardian ofthe latter and Jesse Shallcrosa appointed-in bis place

Walter P Jackson was formerly secre-tary of the Home Building and Loan As-

sociation of Coatesville He resigned inOctober last

For several months previous there hadbeen rumors that all was not right Fourmonths of hard work were spent by ex-

perts upon the books after which theirreport was gone over by Messrs H BSpeakman John J Flnnlgan and W EGreenwood They found the work of theexperts correct and that the amount duefrom Walter P Jackson was 17l39 Thisamount is partly secured by judgments ItIs thought that 50 per cent or possiblymore may be realized on this account

The last seen of Walter Jackson was onSunday when William M Hayes of WestChester met him in a Wilmington andNorthern Railroad train Mr Jacksonthen said that he would be In West Ches-ter on Monday
