Great Britain criea ev eiy time Busiia lays a new tie of pitches a Cossack tent on Manchurian •oil. "Maintain the status quo!" she shrieks. "Keep the door open!" Flhe sounding phrases! Lofty sen timents! Disinterested warnings! But belated, says Edwin Wildman, former United States consul at Hongkong, in the New York Herald. Russia is not in Manchuria by the accident of war, not to avenge the mur der of a missionary nor to wrench from China an indemnity as a sop for in jured feelings. Her presence in the east is constructive, racial and per manent She Is not there to plunder a hemisphere of Its wealth, to sap a na tion of its strength, to enrich herself by the energies of pauper labor nor to subjugate a people. Russia is not a vandal, a freebooter or a territorial highwayman. She has come to Asia with a full parse and a strong arm to build rail ways and cities, to cultivate-and de velop productive but neglected soil, to employ a population in the arts of peace and industry. Her mission 1s not philanthropic, neither Is it destruc tive. In Manchuria she is planting her civilization. She is paying her gold, injecting her energies and out of a chaotic and hitherto unfruitful terri tory is establishing form, enforcing or der and bringing to life the latent pos sibilities of a senile people. There Is the stamp of permanency upon Russia's structural operations in Asia- She is there to stay. Her rail road is there, her Siberian peasants are flocking thither her Cossack giiards are there, her fortifications are there, her outlet to the Pacific is there, her civilization is there, her trade will grow there, and her sturdy race of men and women will increase and pros per on the fertile soil of the vast ter ritory that her enterprise has opened up to. the inhabitants of the cold north and to the trade of the world. There is ho evidence in her policy, that it is Russia's aim to denude the territory of its forests, to take from the country its gold and silver and coal, to suck up the soil of its richness and then retire. There is no such precedent in Russia's history. The Boxer outbreak and the nearlng completion of the Transsiberlan rail way threw the white light upon Rus sia's activities in. Manchuria. The Englishman read the handwriting on the wall and sounded the alarm, rush ed into German and Japanese alliances and warned the United States that the presence of Russia meant death to the "open door" and the end of the Amer ican trade extension in the north meant the. partition of, China and the "yellow, or Asiatic, peril," the Slav conquest of the universe! Russia became the object of fierce suspicion. Her railroad, her troops, her civilization, were the dragnet that threatened the sovereignty of Man churia. Her, armada hovered, along the coast from Port Arthur to Vladi vostok, lay off the bar by Taku and pushed Its nose up the Woosung-river toward Shanghai. Her peasantspour ed across the. Amur river, and her Cossacks raised the standard ofsthe white czar in the coveted territory of Manchuria. Russia has spent a hundred millions of dollars to open the window on the Pacific, she had pushed ber treaty rights to the doorstep of British in gresslons In China, and. she bad es tablished her physical and moral in fluence along the northernmost border of a province covering 360,000 square miles and containing seven and a half millions of people, and the "Son of Heaven," sitting on the dragon throne In.

KEEP YMRILOM CLEU *v4l j'1 contrary, be had granted ngnts ana astounded the comparative nations in the Chinese mart He had by treaty "recognised that Russia should possess a station that she can defend" and bad leased for twenty-five years Port Ar thur, Tallenwan and adjacent seas, the lease to "be extended by mutual agreement between China and Rusila. To the north of the territory leased, to the Amur river, perhaps, shall be a sons China may not quarter her troops there without the consent of Bussla." Great Britain was aroused. The alarming evidences of the Increasing friendship of Bussla and China stag gered her. China bad made an ally of her neighbor. She bad checkmated the ambitions of 'Yoreifpiers," for Busalft was never looked upon aa other than Asiatic by the Mantchoo rulers of China, and the "break up" that might give Great Britain and Germany an oriental empire had been averted. The two great Asiatic races were dovetail ed, and at last after a century, China was at peace with ber ancient foes across the great wall. A Russo-Chl nese bank completed the bond and brought China under the protecting wings of the double eagle. The mas terful diplomacy of Li Hung Chang was revealed. And now a new era opens np to the powers. When the final rail is laid between Lake Baikal and the coast the white czar will at last compete in the marts of China, and his influence in the oriental Asia will be a vital force. In ten days be can send mer chandise to the Yellow sea, and in re turn ne can carry the products of the east and of America over his own route to Russia, and, not of less im portance, be can place troops in Man churia at the rate of 2,000 a day. He can commissary and coal a fleet off Vladivostok and Port Arthur can snap his fingers at Great Britain and laugh in the face of Japan. He can cross his bayonets over the doors of Manchuria, send an army to Tientsin, to Peking and close the north of China. But of what avail? Russia is not mad. She is not a hermit nation. She has not come into the east to raise batteries to trade, to dwarf the growth of her own civilization, to stunt her own progress. She aspires, as the United States aspired, to carry her flag and her civilization across the North American continent. Her world pol icy, from Peter the Great to Nicholas II., is a history oif expansion, a look toward seas where her fleets may sail as free as those of other nations, with harbors, and ports where bier own flag bids them welcome. Russia has not put her millions Into steel rails, iron bridges, telegraph wires, embryonic cities, vast agricul tural stations, to Invite destruction and the enmity, of nations. Her ambition in the east is no greater than made England and Germany empires—the United States a world power. If China is to be partitioned, Rus sia's position will demand the share that by racial and natural hotnogene ousness she Is heir to. If China's in tegrity is to be preserved, Russia, will play her part in its rehabilitation and vitallzation. Her very life and being depend upon her strength and growth on the Pacific. Russia's position In Manchuria is not a menace to civilization or trade. It has not been In the past and-lt cannot be in the future-rnot until the genius and industry of America, England and Germany, bow down before tlie Slav. At NewchWang, 100 miles from the guns of Russia at Poet Arthur, Brit ish merchants are in the ascendant and carry on the bulk of trade, the China man himself controlling or playing an Important part in every large mercan tile house in the port. So it is at Sban haikwan and at .Tientsin, while at Vladivostok German and Japanese merchants are in the majority. In all Manchuria, despite the presence of Russian engineers and Cossacks, Great Britain's trade is over £3,000,000. Rus sia's is practically nothing, eliminating her railroad operations. Such evi dences of the "open door" do not por tend, to a sane mind, predatory tend encies on the part of the czar, even though war alarms continue to ema nate from Peking. Had Russia spent $100,000,000 in Great Britain (instead of In America) for the purchase of her thousands of miles of steel, her hundreds of locomo tives. her millions of ties, her tons of telegraph wire, her ice crushing ships had she bought her cotton sheetings in Manchester, her flour in Australia ami her tinned goods In England, and hud she borrowed her money in London, her presence in Manchuria would not have been heralded as a menace to the n-o^ld. a slap at the "open door," a step in the break up of China. Great Britain is alarmed and imblt tered. Her trade is no longer para mount in Asia. Her fleet in Chinese waters Is not supreme. The Musco vite has out-Brltoned the Briton in the north' of China, and the Briton, dream ing of what he has been, now rises green eyed at the calm, forceful policy of Russia and cries, "Wolf!" We have nothing to fear from Rus sia's position in the east Two-thirds of the Imports Into Manchuria are the product of American Industry* Our rails, our engines, our bridges, °ur windmills, our wire, our scales, our canned goods, cioin, jnuira, and reaping and sewing machines, electric lights and a thousand and one other products of our skilled labor are jolng to Siberia and Manchuria by the shipload. They will continue to go while Russia pursues her policy of ex pansion in ber Asiatic empire. A mil lion and a half tons of steel alone will be required to double track her Transsiberlan railway, and this feat is Russia's dream. And she will not stand by idly while Germany girdles Bhangtung with ber 600 miles of track, while the Belgians construct a line from Peking to Hankow, the Ameri cans from Hankow to Canton and the British connect Tientsin with the vast coal mines of SbensL Bussla, too, will continue to extend her activities, but they will not sig nify conquest of territory or sover eignty to a greater extent than do the enterprises of other nations in China In like undertakings. Her conquest is primarily commercial, strategic and International, In a sense that she has an eye to future expediencies, but she will take no greater advantage of her position in Manchuria than Great Britain has in the Yangtse valley and in the Kwangtung province than Ger many has In Sbangtung or Japan has In Korea. Yet the black bear Is watchful. He Is ready to defend his position, and at the first step Briton or Teuton takes to bring pressure on China and assert suzerainty or dispute her treaty rights in the Liaotung peninsula the flag of the white czar will be raised in Man churia, and it may not stop there. But Russia's policy is defensive. The bear will hibernate until goaded from his lair by the avarice and aggressions of his neighbors. Shall our hand be raised in warning to Russia or to Great Britain? WANTED.

Washington, May 16.—Constituent societies' of the congress of American Physicians and Surgeons have prac tically concluded their sessions, al though two or three of them, by rea son of the length of their programme, will extend their work a day. Siluch interest was manifested in the proceedings of the American Ortho pedic association over the discussion of Dr. I/orenz* method of treating hip dislocation, etc. Dr. H. P. Bradford of Boston was expected to offer resolutions thanking Dr. Lorenz for visiting the United States and demonstrating his methods But such resolution it was thought might induce criticism from member* of the association vho do not approve wholly of the Lorenz system. One of the important subjects con sidered by the association was th« treatment of curvature of the spine. Dr. Compton Reilly of ltimore read a paper on the sub.' ct and then con ducted a brief clinic during which he demonstrated the operation of a tne chanical device Intended to correct spine curvature, one of his own pa tients being the subject cf the clinte.

English cities have gone much fur ther than our own in carrying on ac tivities that used to be considered ex clusively matters of private business. An article lh the Liverpool Post sum marized by United States Consul Boyle, shows the extent to which this process has been carried. The town of Bath owns its hot springs, most of the cold springs, the Roman baths and the famous "pump rooms," one of which has recently been extended with a Roman prom enade at a cost of $150,000. Bournemouth owns its winter gar dens and golf links and keeps a public orchestra. Harrogate receives a good Income from its royal baths and springs, win ter garden theater and the Royal Spa concert rooms and gardens. Leamington owns Its popular baths and pump room. Southport earns $17,500 a year with pleasure boats on its marine park lakes and runs a Coney Island on the beach, with a switchback railway, "aerial flight" and other attractions. Brighton owns its royal pavilion and aquarium. Many towns dispose of their drain age on sewage farms, which they cul tlvate with proflt Birmingham raises over $125,000 worth of stock, wool, crops and milk on its sewage farm ev ery year. Colchester sells 3,000,000 oysters a year from its famous Colne oyster fishery. Bradford runs a hotel in connection with its public markets, and Plym outh owns both a hotel and a theater. Birkenhead clears $50,000 a year from Its fleet of twelve ferry boats plying to Liverpool. York owns a canal and a fleet of tugs.

Liverpool makes artificial stone out of clinkers and turns It into workmen's model dwellings. Leicester makes paving slabs of clinkers and Its three sewage farms produce $110,000 a year. All the common services of Glasgow, except the cemeteries, have been mu nicipalized. Manchester clears $75,000 a year net profit from its fifteen markets Liver pool's markets pay $72,860, and the 228 towns that own public markets draw in all $418,910 profit from that source. The street railway systems owned by the various towns clear over $500, 000 proflt, which is rapidly Increasing. In every case, it is alleged, the trans fer of such a system from private to public hands has led to "better serv ice, cheaper fares, increased traffic and larger profits, while the position of the employees has been greatly im proved In regard to pay and the hours of labor." In Leeds the tramways have re lieved taxation $201,380 a year. Liverpool last year cleared $60,145 from the supply of electricity. One hundred and ninety-three towns have their own water supply,* from which they clear a net annual profit of $450,640, after providing Interest and sinking funds for borrowed capi tal, and ninety-nine towns own gas works, paying a profit of $1,974,125 a year. Manchester alone clears $250, 000 from gas, instead of paying three millions to a corporation, like New York. Quick Arrest J. A.
