TRADE WITH CHINA.
Some Pertinent Suggestions on That
Subject From the Chinese
Minister.
BOSTON. April 27 In his speech at
the banquet of the National Association
of Manufacturers last night. W'u Ting
Fang, the Chinese minister, said:
"That the trade of this country with
China has been rapidly Increased with
in the last few years is borne out by
the statistics published every year, but
It Is not generally known and It Is a
fact which should be remembered that
our merchants are the only exporters
of your goods to China.
"Take for Instance the case of flour.
All that is sent to China is upon order
first rerelved at the mills in this coun
try. This shows you clearly the 1m
portance and necessity of allowing the
Chinese merchants and traders to have
free and friendly intercourse with the
manufacturers and merchants of this
country.
"If Chinese merchants could come
more freely to this country and see how
thinirs are done in your business estab
Ushmcnts it would certainly give them
a better Idea of American enterprise
and energy and Impress them with
great respect for American methods.
They could also see many things which
are new to them, ascertain their utility
and their uses and would then pur
chase them.
"I am compelled to tay, and I say It
with great reluctance, that no such
facilities are afTorded to Chinese cus
tomers to come to this country. Ameri
can manufacturers may have agents In
China to sell their goods. But Chinese
merchants certainly ought to know best
what is most suitable for their home
markets If they could enter this
country without unnecessary restric
tions they might be in a better position
to select not only what they came to
buy but also carry home with them a
great many things which they had no
Intention of buying at the outset.
"It seems to me that self interest
alone ought to point out the best course
for the Americans to follow. If yoji
should wish to Increase your trade with
China every obstacle in the way of free
Intercourse between the two countries
should be removed. As the progrt-ss
of civilization has levelled one natural
barrier after another In order that the
peoples of the earth may be drawn to
gether into closer relations, it is cer
tainly contrary to the spirit of the
times to erect artificial ones by means
of hostile legislation.
"With a growing commerce between
China and the United States the ques
tion of transportation will no doubt
come more and more to the front. In
days not very long past the American
dug was a common sight among the
shipping of Hong Kong and other
Chinese ports. Now it is conspicuous
by Its absence. If Americans are to
make good their claim to a due share
of the commercial advantages in China,
It Is essential that they should revive
their carrying trade In Chinese waters.
I have been Informed that more goods
have been offered of late to the steam
ship companies at San Francisco than
they can possibly carry with the lim
ited facilities at their command. The
result is that the freight rates to the
Orient have taken a sharp rise. The
exporters from the eastern states can
not but be injuriously affected.
"If an isthmian canal were in opera
tion connecting the waters of the At
lantic with those of the Pacific such
congestion of traffic at any point on
the Pacific coast would be at once re
lieved. But, unfortunately, the day is
still far distant when steamers can
pass from ocean to ocean across the
Central American isthmus. In - the
meanwhile the time and tide of trade

tarry for no man. Demand for Amer
ican goods continues to pour in from
the East. Without adequate transpor
tation facilities how is It to be met?
After due Inquiry I flr.d that Americans
do not control a single line of steamers
plying between New York and Shang
hai by ay of the Suet canal.
"I have no hesitation In saying that
such a line If established will contri
bute materially to the expansion or
trade between the two countries. Mr.
Goodnow, your consul-general at
Shanghai rvixTts that rates of freight
from New York to China and Japan
via Suex ''anal vary from 22 shillings
sl pence to 27 shillings six pence i!5.4ti
to per ton of 40 cubic feet, against
4.i shillings to SO shillings ($10.93 to
$11151 charged by steamship owners
frcm London and Liverpool to the sams
destination. Thus It is apparent that
British steamship companies give pre
ferential rates to American shippers.
"The English are noted for their
ucute judgement in matters of business.
If English ship owners think it worth
their while for business reasons to offer
cheaper freight rates to American
than to English shippers. It Is not to
be supposed that they cherish greater
love for their American cousins than
for their English brethren. It is be
cause thoy believe It good business pol
icy Such being the case, it seems
strange that you enterprising Ameri
cans should so far have made no ser
ious ntttmpt to secure at least a share
of the profits arising from carrying
your own giods."
CARNEGIE ON TRUSTS.
The Poor Will Benefit by the Employ
ment of Large Aggregations
of Capital.
NEW YORK, April 27.-Andrevv Car
negie, in an essay in the May Century
entitled "Popular Illusions About
Trusts," advocates great aggregations
of capital as of benefit both to rich
ard poor. He says:
"Every attempt to monopolize the
manufacture of a staple article carries
within Its bosom the seeds of failure,
Long befor. we could legislate with
much effect against trusts there would
be no necessity for legislation. The
past proves this and the future is to
confirm it. Th?re should be nothing
b';t encouragement for these vast &g
gregatior.s of capital, for the manu
facture of staple articles.
"As for the result being an increase
of price to the consumer, beyond a
brief period, there need be no fear. On
the contrary, the inevitable result of
these aggregations Is, finally and per
mam.nt!y, to give the consumer cheap
er articles than would have been other
wise possible to obtain; for capital Is
stimulated by the high profits of the
trust for a season to embark against
It. The result Is very soon a capacity
of production beyond the wants of the
consumer and as the new works erected
are of the most improved pattern and
capable of producing cheaper than the
old works, the vulnerable trusts are
compelled to buy and capitalize at two
or three times their cost There is thus
no danger ahead to the community
from trusts nor any cause for fear.
"Competition In all departments of
human activity is not to be suppressed.
Already the ghosts of numerous depart
ed trusts which aimed at monopolies
have marched across the stage of hu
man affairs, each pointing to its fatal
wound, inflicted by that great correc
tive competition. The only people who
have reason to fear trusts are those
who trust them.
"We conclude that this overpower
ing, irresistible tendency toward ag
gregation of capital and Increase of
size in every branch of product cannot
be arrested or even greatly impeded

and that. Instead of attempting to re
strict either, we should hall every In
crease as something gained, not for
the few rich, but for the millions of
poor, seeing that the law is salutary,
working for good and not for evil.
"Every enlargement Is an Improve
ment, step by step upon what has pre
ceded. It does not tend to make the
rich poorer but It does tend to make
the poor richer In the possession of bet
ter things and greatly lessens the wide
and deplorable gulf between the rich
and the poor.
"Superficial politicians may for a
time deceive the uninformed but more
and more will all this be clearly seen
by those who are now led to regard
aggregations as Injurious."
HEAVY RAINS IN TEXAS.
Eisht Persons or More Drowned With
in the City Limits of Waco.
WACO, lex., April 27. The heaviest
ruin In li years fell In Waco and vi
cinity today. Reports of death and
destruction are coming in from every
direction. Between eight and ten por-
sons have been drowned within the
city limits of Waco and a seurchlng
party, headed by the fire department, la
out looking for the drowned.
So far the bodies of two white wo
men, a mother and daughter, and one
negro, have been recovered. They are
Mrs. Nancy Cau Iks Miss Clara Caudle
and Frank Walker.
The downpour of rain commenced
about noon and was im-essniit until
dark. It was in the shape of a water
spout and the rise In the creeks mid
branched was so rapid that it did not
given the inhabitants time to llee.
Three persons, two women and a
man. all colored, were drowned within
a hundred yards of the city hall. Their
b'idii-s were washed Into the Braxos
river and have not bee recovered.
There were several people, mostly
negroes, xlanJIn on the bridge facing
the rapid rise of Barron's branch, when
the bridge, a brick s:ructure, gave way
without warning, precipitating them
into the water. Th number positively
known to have been drowned within
the city limits tonight is eight, and it
Is almost certain that several more
lives hav? been lost .
ENTIRE FAMILY SUICIDES.
Son Aids His Parents in the Act and
Then Hangs Himself.
CAMBRIDGE. Md..Aprll 27.-A Ger
man family consisting of Carl Kernlg.
his wife and son were discover 1 dead
In their little farm house seven miles
fn.m this city, each corpse having a
noose about the neck. Strangulation
was probatly the cause of death In
each case. From the decomposed con
dition of the bodies it is thought the
act must have been committed several
duys ago. 'As far as known the last
seen of any member of the family was
on last Saturday, when the elder Ker
ni;? came to Cambridge ami drew $600
form a bank. No trace of this money
could be found today.
The tuthorlties are of the opinion
that young Carl Kernlg assisted his
father and mother to hang themselves
and then after making a half hitch
with the rope strangle himself and
fell where he was found today.
GOES AGAIN INSANE.
NEW YORK, April 27. William
Steinitz, at one time the champion
cuess piayer oi tne worm, ana Who was
recently reK'asd from a sanitarium
where he was being treated for Insan
ity, is thought to have again lost his
mind. About a week ago he began to
suffer from a hallucination that he had
made a great discovery and was the
possessor of Immense wealth. Last
night he went for a walk, and it was
found afterward that he had given all
the money with him to small boys.
He will probably be again committed
to an asylum.
