-rp-yiin ANNOUNCEMENT which
appears In another column
today to the effect that "un
til further notice" the trans
lcr fjhtein th.il has been In use on the
Soranlon Ti action company's lines lll

tight dlicctlott. If the company offi
cials are ulncere In the apparent effort
to make amends for recent Indiscre
tions and (?le (lie jesldents of Scran
ton and vicinity a car service that elr
iiimstancoH warrant, no doubt much
of the lll-ftelltifr against the corpora
tion will be eradicated. It is to bo re
gretted, however, that action on patt
of the councils has been necessary to
brlnK the traction company to a realiz
ation of the situation. The street car
agitation has been detrimental not only
to tha corporation, but to the Interests
of Scr.mton nlso. In other cities
street car lines are public conveniences
as well as paying Investments. There

that are being can led by the corpora
tion. While the recent exhibition made
by olllclals may caute overtures from
tho traction company to be In future
regarded with a grain of suspicion,
theiu Is no nucstlon that an evidence
of purpose to legulato the evils that
have made tho street car iervlco of
tho Electric City probably the most
unsatisfactory In the country, will be
met in a conciliatory spirit by tho
councils and the public. Bv all means
let us hae peace.
Mr. Uryan claims to be a private
X'ltlitcn, but ho assumes tho airs of a
man cnxlous to enter the show busi
ness. Our Position Towards China.
"""IIE refusal of some of the
I European Powers to consent
JL to the removal of the Chi
nese negotiations from Pe
kln to Washington and the consequent
withdrawal of this government's sug
gestion should not, says the New York
Tribune, be regarded as Indicatlvo of
111 will among the nations. It was en
tirely proper for the United States to
make the suggestion, and there is rea
son to bellevo the suggestion was In
line with piecedent, with logic and
with the Interests of peace and Justice.
Nevertheless, eery other Power was
entitled to Its own view of tho matter,
and was as free to decline as the
United States was to make the pro
posal. It Is well, however, to have the cir
cumstances of the case correctly under
stood. The Pails eonespondent of the
Associated Press gives three reasons,
which are said to prevail In European
chancelleries, against the transfer. The
llrst Is that the negotiations can be
conducted in China better than else
whete, because all essential Informa
tion Is theie close at hand. That is a
matter or opinion with which there
can be no quatrel. The proximity of
sources of Information to Pekln Is In
disputable, though It may well bo con
wldercd whether other circumstances do
not outweigh that. The second reason
Is of a different nature. It Is to the
effect that the United States' com
merce with China Is small in eompirl
son with that of several other states,
and therefore this country Is not en
titled to have the negotiations con
ducted at Washington. That is a mat
ter not of opinion but of fact, and the
leahcm cited must be set down as giv
ing an Intimation contrary to the facts.
Tho statement concerning the com
parative Importance or American com
merce with China, while perhaps not
literally untrue, conveys a totally er
toneous Impression. It Is truo that
two other countries have a greater
trade with China than tho United
States has. They aro the British em
pire and Japan. But It does not ap
pear that they nro tho Powers which
object on that ground to the transfer
of negotiations. As for tho Intimation
that any country of Continental Eu
rope Is as much Interested In Chinese
commerce ns tho United States, It Is
far from tho truth. Not one of those
countries comes anywhere near to
rivalling this country In Chinese com
merce. Russia falls least far behind
us. But our trade with China exceeds
Bussla's by about 30 per cent., and
theto Is no other country of Continen
tal Europo that has more than half as
great a trade as we. In fact, our trade
w Ith China Is nearly as greut as thoso
of France, Germany, Austt la-Hungary,
Spain, Portugal and Italy all put
together. That necond reason, there
fore, for declining the proposed trans
fer is utterly to be repudiated,
The third nnd final reason la well
described as the most delicate of all,
nnd we should bo glad to helluva It
was never put forward by any respon-
slblo statesman, but hnd Its sole origin
In the Imagination of the correspond
ent. It Is that the Powers havo not
sufficient confidence In the freedom of
the United States government from
the Influence of Interests seeking the
spoliation of China. That Is a state
ment which It would not be cosy to
choiacterizc as It deserves without the
use of strong nnd perhaps undiplo
matic tenns. We shall not onlars
upon the tu quoque argument, which
so obviously presents Itself, by point
ing out the extent to which most other
Powers have already openly yielded to
tho Influences of exploitation and
spoliation. It Is sufficient to declare,
and to challenge contradiction of the
statement, that tho United States has
from the beginning been of all Powers
most free from such Influences. In not
one single Instance has the United
States sought territorial spoliation of
China. In not one single Instance has
It sought selfish exploitation or ex
clusive privileges. The keynotes of Its
policy have over been to maintain the
Integrity of the Chinese empire and to
open and keep open Its commercial
doors to all the world on equal tenns.
In somo respects nomo details of Its
policy may liuvo been open to criti
cism, but most assuredly not on the
ground thnt it was unduly peeking the
exploitation or the spoliation of China.
There Is a certain touch of grim
satire upon these anti-transfer reasons
In the suggestion that the negotiations
be removed from Peklu to Shanghai.
Tho latter place Is, of course, ro con
spicuously fico fiom Intrigues and
rlvaliles and sinister and selfish Influ
ences, and so renowned as the centre
and soutce of Impeccablo veracity!
Nevertheless, whether the place be
Peklu or Shanghai, or the most re
mote lamaseral of Las-'a, If the other
Powers can stand It wo suppose the
United States can.

facilities for hunting and fishing. This
will be supplemented by a largo num

a wire fence, ten feet in height. An
other tract will be for wild boais.
Nine of these lme been Imported, but
lightning and the ocean voyage killed
seven of them. Store will be imported
however, and the siort of the Pathci
land will bo Instituted regardless of
cost. Hares and other small game
will be added, and the stock will be
replenished by Importations from

such as pike, pickerel and tiout, are
found In abundance In tho streams
which flow through the property.
There Is no question that ontei prises
of thl3 nature nro nniony the most
commendable that can be adopted by
pleasure seekers. Any scheme Hint
leads to the preservation of American
forests from the lumberman end avar
icious tiller of the soil Is to be ad
mired, even though the motive that
prompts the move may to a ccrtiln
extent bo selfish. No amount of per
suasion or prophecy can generally de
ter an agriculturist from hacking and
burning tracts of woodland, when tho
spirit moves him. Tho fact that ho
or his neighbors are at certain sea
sons of tho year obliged to drive stock
for miles to obtain water, Is no argu
ment In favor of thu preservation of
forests. Tho course of men of means,
therefore, in pyi chasing and preserv
ing' Immense plots ot land covered
with virgin forests, Is to be approved
by all who have the welfare of futurn
generations at heart.

gress In steam and electtl
clty In furnishing means of
transit calculated to take
away to a certain extent tho occupation
of tho noblest of the quadrupeds, tho
value of the horse seems to lucieaso
rather than diminish as the march of
time continues. Though the stteet car
and stage line no longer depend upon
equlno motive power, tho demand for
bjorses nnd mules has steudlly In
creased, undoubtedly upon account of
the conflicts of nations wheie horses
and mules have been moat useful In
affording means of transpottattou for
army supplies. The Importance' of the
horse raising Industry In tho United
States Is demonstrated In tho portion
of the census report issued by Chief
Statistician Powers, In chargo of ngil
culturc. Tho general classification of horses
asked for by the National Live Stock
association was ndoptod by tho census
and Is now In use In the bulletin nl
ready Issued. It will also bo employed
In all later publications of tho office
relating to live stock In the country.
In this new classification horses nie
grouped under thtee heads: (1) Colts,
Including all less than 1 years; (2) colts
over 1 nnd under '1 yeats; (3) hotses
over 2 years. A similar classification
Is adopted for mules. Asses being few
In number nro reported ns In preceding
censuses, under one head. Of these an
imals not on farms or ranges the cen
sus of 1000 makes the following report:
There wero 1,3j5,CS(3 Inclosures report
ing horses, and theaa contained V9.919
colts under 1 year, 20,401 1 and under 2
years, 2,777,407 horses 2 yents and over.
Theto were C1.80S inclosures reporting
mules, with a totnl number of 102,115.
Of theso 2,410 wero colts under 1 year,
3,773 1 and under 2 years nnd 155,932
mules 8 years and over, There were
0,622 Inclosures reporting nsses, with a
total number of 12,870. These figures
show how tho great proportion of
horses and mules are bred on farms,
on the worl: horses constitute 98 per
cent, and tho work mules 96 per cent
of those reported In this bulletin.
Combining the horses, mules nnd
nsses, wc find that thcio arc In our
cities and towns a total of 3,003,862, of
which 2,933,429 nr horses and mules
of ages suitable for work. This Is ex
clusive of tho same uniinals on farms
or ranges, which wero estimated Janu
ary 1, 1900, as lit, 537,021 homes and 2,
0S6.027 mules. Combining tho animals
on the farms and those In cities, towns
and elsewhere, It Is seen that tho
horses, mules and asses In tho United
States niuut number nt tho present
time neatly, If not quite, 19,000,070.
Thu foregoing numbers stand In
marked contrast with those for tho
same animals In tho countries of west
ern Euroie. In Germany, according to
a llve-stoclc census taken In 1897, the)
horses numbered 4,038,485. In France,
according to the Annualre Statlsauo
la Prance, 1899, tho horses numbered
2,899,131, the mules 205,715 and assocl
3G1.414. In Great Hrltaln, according to
the llvo-stoclc reports returned for the
yenr 189S, tho horses for nil purposes
numbered 2,010,330, and In Austria, ac
cording to the Oeatorrolchlscho Statin
tlk Handbuch, 1S9S, tho horses for all
purposes numbered 1,548,197, and tho
mules, asses and mulo asses r7,952. It
should be noted In tills connection that
the figures for Austria did not Include
the animals of Hungary.
According to the foregoing figures,
It can bo seen that thchorses and
mules In American cities and town, cx
clushe of those on farms, number
llueo-fourths of nil found on German
faims; they are nearly as many as all
found on French farms: fifty per cent.
more than are found on firltlsh farms,
and over twice as many ns all similar
animals In Austiln. Including the
hotses and mules on farms, as well
as those outblde of the same, It can be
seen that the United tSates Is utiliz
ing for woik purposes from four to
tn times as many animals as Is done
by the leading competitive nations of
western Europe. A moment's consltj
ei. it Ion of these facts will explain why
Great Uiltnln has been compelled to
buy horses nnd mules In tho United
States for mlltary purposes In South
Atrlcn, nnd why Germany and other
! nations have sent to this country for
war nnlmals for use In Asia. The con-
lllct of the Boers and tho English ha.
demonstinted the superiority of a mo
bile at my,' and thus the value of the
horse and mule In modern warfare,
One man w 1th a horse Is now the equal
of from three to five similar men on
foot. In future wars, the nations with
the best supply of horses and mules
will havo a grent advantage. It con
bo outcome only by a usst superiority
In numbers, equipment nnd general
ship, us can be seen In the South
African struggle of the present year.
In any eonlllet that can arise between
the United States nnd the nations of
western Europe, the American horses
and mules will therefore be to this
country a most Impottant factor In Its
f a or.
Prof. F. Hopklnson Smith, lighthouse
builder, author, nitlst, lecturer, etc.,
Is reported as having made a fierce at
tack upon Harriet Beecher Stowe's
lmmoital wmlc, "Uncle Tom's Cabin,"
which he designates ns "an appalling,
awful and ctlmlnal mistake," und "the
most vicious book that ever appeared."
He states at the same tlmo that the
book precipitated tho war which re
sulted In freeing tho blacks from
bondage, and stopped thu sale of hu
man flesh In this land of the free.
Theie aie doudtless mnny admirers of
the peculiar characteristics of the
lectin er who will not ngteo that It was
a crime to abolish slavery and who
arc also of the opinion that the namo
of Han lot Beecher Stowo will be re
vered long after F. Hopklnson Smith
and his dizzy etchings have been for
gotten. Tho artist-lecturer will do
well to conllne his talents more closely
to the discussion of mezzo-tints, paint
ed pansies nnd pink teas In future.
Unless he has been misquoted In tho
nbove, Mr. Smith Is In danger of ac
nulling a reputation ns an "appalling,
awful" donkey.
Senator Hoar contributed nnothor
ciumb of comfort to Filipino rebels
nnd their tialtorous sympathizers In
this country tho other day by Intro
ducing an nmendment to the army bill
that would limit the United States
forces In the Philippines to a po Ice
patrol barely sufficient to guard tha
towns and cities now held by Ameri
cans. The promptness with which the
pioposal was laid upon tho table is
n hopeful sign that no further non
sense Is to be tolerated upon tho sub
ject. Mr. Bryan announces that the Dem
ocratic party will not lecelve his sup

HOW FAIRIES WERE FOUND.
Written for Iho Tribune
The country for me with Its long golden hours
Whcie all day long I may pilfer from bird and
from flower,
Adn when old Dame Nature ha secret to tell
fehe'll tell them to mo by the brook In the dell.
I surprised ber one day, not another soul nigh,
Telling tales to the fairies of earth, lea and sky.
So enchanted was I by the tale that she told
That I lost nil discretion, became over-hold
And throat my head through the thick copse at
her tide.
In a Hash Mother Nature my presence espied!
Tho fairies were shocked, too 6tartleel to flee,
Rut I said, "Don't bo frightened, it's only juit
me."
Then Dame Nature laughed. "Well, my dear,
since It's )ou.
And jou've heard part tho tale, )ou shall hear
the rest, too."
Then she said, "Good Queen Mab If jou're
minded, my dear,
We'll Initiate now this joung mortal here,
In the mystical love of i airland,
To be one ot jour uvvn exclusive bind.
Queen Mab responded with wand and book
And for a rolemn and binding oath I took
To never rcvwl by word or pen
The haunts of the falrloa to mortal men,
Mab said, "You're the first who has ever found
Tht way to the fairies camping ground.
Nor would ou havo wandered thro earth to
the bovv'rt
Were )-ou not part fairy and queen of '.he
How'rs."
Ceremonial over, I lade them adieu
And rame back to the world my dear children
to you,
Out tho fairies were lax nature ijld not a worl
About not repeating the stories 1 heard,
So the very next time that I meet you, I'll tell
What Dame -Nature told to u down In the dell,
