THE OREGON . DAILY JOURNAL', PORTLAND, MONDAY , EVENING, MARCH . 28, 1901 France Has a Poor Paris In the Far East Elite R. Bcldmore In Chicago Tribune. Baigon, January !. Once past Padar ' an's heights and lighthouse gleaming, ' the China sea relented a bit, subdued Its mighty heavings, and through the ; glasses one could watch the sand spits glimmering In heat hase, the mountains disappearing indefinite In mists and vapors. It is a scorching land, a reelc- " Ing, steaming country, fronting on a treacherous. Inhospitable sea that is rough for the half Of the year that this northeast monsoon blows. It Is worse still when the southwest winds blow up their storms, fogs and rain, and unsur passable at the half season when the change of the monsoon brings all winds , and kinds of bad weather in succession. .'While the southeast monsoon blows, ty phoons are hatched In this evil China tea and sent whirling across the Phil ippine Islands and up the China coast. , It is strange that French ambitions should ever have settled or centered . here, and France's empire in the east, her India, Is the least desirable parcel , Fefty-two years ago,' In 1861, the French made their first stand in Cochin China at the-mouth: -of he Cambodia and Mekong rivers. Soon they had a treaty of commerce, then a protectorate, nd then an annexation of Annam; Tpngking followed suit, Cambodia is now i Included, and great pieces of Slam were slesed and annexed in 1893 and 1898. But with all her land grabbing, the republic is not quite happy, and, like Jier ally in Manchuria, no sooner has she attainted a coveted province .until V 'she learns Its defects and uselessness. Iln dreams of empire. It seemed that possession of the mouth of the Mekong . Irlver would be possession of all the trade of Yunnan and south China. But when Cochin China became France it was found that the Mekong was a suc cession of rapids, and trade did not come that way; nor yet through Annam; ' and when Tongklng was achieved, the Red river proved the last delusion, a j-lver of rapids for 'all its length and .trade goes its usual old way, over toward the West river and Canton, straight to the commercial centers which perfidious England holds. The French have fought battles. , . poured millions of franca and thousands of French lives into this empire of the east, and every year its balance on the budget is on the wrong side. How ter- . rlble Us campaigns were, what French men suffered In this hideous country in 1883 and. 1884, caa be recalled by read ing Pierre Lotl's "Lettres d'un Exile" (some of the greatest work, the most Ylvld word pictures . that Incomparable genius has done. He makes the sun and skies, the Jungles, .and the miasmatic plains and swamps of this steaming, sweltering peninsula all too distinct and . real, and in one sketch, of the dying soldier on board the troopship, "where thin sides vibrated like a violin,"- we find, with that same apt simile, the same scene whloh furnishes the most striking chapter In "Pecheur d'Islande." His- gen ius has pictured this hideous, hot coun : try for all time, and the ardent defend ers of the, colonial policy in France synonymous Term. ' 1 "I understand that prima donna failed to give her farewell concert because she had a cold." " Tea, answered the manager. ' , - "How did she contract ltr , "Well, it wasn't an ordinary cold. It Is what is technically known as a box pfflce chill." . . 4 After the armored trains used by England In the Boer war the armored Au tomobile comes as a natural result ' Armored autos, able to skim over even very rough country untrammeled by and carrying a rapia-nre Maxim gun or great suecons in fcngiana. uopyrigm, THE NEW-MONOPOLY should not wish to have Pierre Lotl touch upon the subject again. Despite the "Xiettrts d'un Exile;" which touch most upon Tongklng, the northern province, I cherished illusions as to what a French colony would be. As Hongkong, the English colony, was to China and the treaty ports, so, in like degree, Balgon, the French capital. must differ more agreeably, and two sane and quite . truthful American tourists told me again and again that "Balgon, the capital of Indo-China, , wa "a little Paris." . That has been said about Brussels, too. but the Belgian capital and Baigon are far. apart The first time I visited Balgon, barely three years ago, every thing was shock and disillusionment. and the colonial capital has not changedJ since. ::.- From this heaving China sea one goes IS miles up the Baigon river, sailing between green seas of rice fields that stretch inimitably . on either side,, the deep, narrow river winding and serpen tining its way to the sea by turns so sharp that one wonders that the huge mall steamers ever dream of negotiating such -corners and elbows of navigation, A long drive past casernes and streets of native ships in semi-European build ings brings one to the real city long, straight streets with the most splendid shade trees to be found in Java. They aren- mgn overneaa in long catnearu aisles filled with shadow and clear green light, and to drive about beneath this high canopy of green, at the heels of diminutive,, fiery, and fleet footed ponies Is a Joy Indeed. It It a queer sort of France not Par isian nor wholly provincial, but unmis takably France. There are the cafes, with iron tables and chairs, out under the. splendid trees, but there are not the shops of the boulevards. As well might some of the streets have been . In Sing apore, the East Indian port, for the Anglo-Indian and Malay tinge was over it all. There were not windows of bon nets and gowns the "little Paris" was cruelly disappointing there but there were more shops for the sale of firearms and ammunition than ever seen In any other part of the east. There was the opera house, a mini ture of the grand one at- Paris, on an open place where the sun baked that morning' and after a brief survey of the town and the botannical gardens we were content to return to the hotel, wnere me apartments reservees the chambres de luxe had been secured by a oapaDie one who had seen Baigon be fore.

And such luxuryl Ah. the HtUe Paris! hat a disillusionment there was when we went across the brick floored cafe to a garden all trembling with sunlight through a dense canopy of green leaves. end up an outer curving white staircase to the corridor of whitewashed splendor and our abodes of luxury.

' San Francisco, March 28. Before "Young" Corbett left for Chicago today he was asked for the Journal if he bore any 111 wUl agalmt San Francisco on ac count of what he believes to have been an unfair decision. "No," he replied", "I do not blame the Ban Francisco audience. The people, here have treated me well and I enjoyed my stay In the city, but I think many of the sporting element are all wrong. NO man can meet a fair deal with those In charge of boxing here, and this reputa tion has traveled eastward. It Will hurt the game and stop the westward trend of prise fighters. I should have been given a draw, at least, and many local people here are of the same belief. I will patiently -await a second meeting with Britt STAR BILLIARD1STS BEGIN PLAY TONIGHT (Joornil Special Service.) New York, March 38. Friends of Wil son P. Fobs, the A. A U. billiard cham pion, are hopeful that In his contest with Rerolle, the French champion, which is to begin In Paris tonight he Will meet with better success than did Button, the American professional, who recently met defeat In the same city at the hands of Vlgnaux. the French champion. The match between Foss and Rerolle, which Is for the world's championship at 18 tnch balk-line billiards, is strictly an amateur affair, Mr. Foss having offered to pay his own expenses asd to give his share of the net receipts of the tourna ment to charity. Foss has won the A A. U. championship three consecu tive years and those acquainted with bis skill at the 14-inch balk-line game rely upon him to lower the colors of the French expert.

The New By Jessie It was Dodo who found him, and. having found, barked her loudest, and tinkled all the silver bells with which her collar was hung, until her mistress went to Investigate the nature of the find. He was lying on a seat In an un frequented side walk of the Kensington Gardens; and apparently he was sound asleep, so soundly, that even the noisy efforts of Dodo, the little King Charles spaniel, had failed to arouse him. Miss . Trevor stopped dead short In front of htm; her face at that moment was expressive, for it was an unusual spectacle which presented itself to her astonished gate. She had often ob served tramps In a like comatose con dition at 13 o'clock In the morning, but this man seemed far removed from the vagrant class, even though his thread bare clothes denoted poverty; his fea tures were clear and refined, but his cheeks were sunken, either from famine or recent sickness. . The position of the sleeper's somewhat 'gaunt long limbs was cramped and uneasy; and yet his eyelids were sealed In a lethargy which. to Miss Trevor's closer observation, ap peared scarcely natural. 5 Miss Trevor picked up Dodo, and, with daintily lifted skirts and tilted head, she walked a few paces away from the un worthy object of her former sympathy; and then, moved by an impulse totally at variance with her Judgment she re treated her steps hurriedly, and tearing a page from her notebook she scribbled a few penciled lines; this she placed in her little gray purse, which contained also a five-pound note and 10 shillings in silver, and she thrust all into the breast pocket of the man's shabby coat with the haste becoming such an Ill considered action. , " Dodo set up a shrill barking, and Miss Trevor, with deplorable loss of dignity, literally took flight Two seconds later, before the shade of the trees had covered her retreat the sleeper opened his eyes, and first he be held the - tall, fleeing figure of the woman, with the miniature black-and-tan, spaniel at her heels; his second im pression was one of astonishment at finding himself In the open air, with a steady sen shining full upon his face. Then memory returned to smite him. In the meantime, at a more sober pace, Alice Trevor retreated her way through the gardens, that were gay in their green liveries of spring, - to the house in Queen's Gate, where she was staying at present with Lady Horner, who was an old friend of her mother. Lady Horner was the widow of a wealthy alderman, but she possessed none of the offensive attributes generally Imputed to the nonveaux riches. She was the soul of hospitality, keeping open house, and Miss Trevor found on her return that - several guests had dropped in unexpectedly to luncheon. She had for companion Captain Chev- enix, who had attached himself to her with a persistency which, In any other than a younger son, having debts In ex cess of his yearly allowance, might have been mistaken for devotion. . After the fantasy of the morning. Miss Trevor returned his effusive greet ing with an additional shade of warmth in her own, for his talr, commonplace features suggested things real and pre ss to to her disorganised mind, Bhe was anxious to blot out the memory, of that gaunt, slumbering form, with the blue, shadow of black lashes upon his emaJ elated and slightly protruding cheek bones; she derived some consolation from the knowledge that he would find, upon awakening, the price of at least a week's board and lodging In the little gray purse which she had placed In his pocket Bhe began to trifle with the pigeon in aspic upon her plate; it seemed hard that some should fare so sump tously and . wear fine , raiment, while others were 'left to hover on the, brink of despair. Her feelings In regard to the captain had a sudden revulsion, and his ruddy, healthy face and Immaculate, well groomed appearance made her suddenly angry In the cause of Justice when she compared his state of well-being with the condition of the hapless stranger of the Gardens. A week later Miss Trevor found her self again In the vicinity of that side path In the Gardens which had been tho scene of her former adventure. Bhe paused near the spot where she had found the stranger lying that morning, ostensibly to gather a sprig of lilac from a bush that was glowing with purple blossoms. , i- ".., ---. Alice Trevor began to move on slowly; her eyes were downcast so she did not perceive at first the figure of a man who approached her . through the green vista of trees beyond; when he was within a few paces of tier she lifted her eyes, and recognition . followed that , swift glance. Dodo knew him also, but hers was the greeting given to an old friend, exuberant In Its animal Joy. The stranger bent flown and patted the little dog's head; but when his eyes met. the gray-blue eyes of Dodo's mis tress, a dark flush burned through his olive skln'fend he turned his face away. Alice called to her dog, at the same Samaritan R. Liversay time perceptibly hastening her foot steps; her cheeks were burning also, and yet she assured herself that she, must he unknown to the man. The stranger stood stilL looking after her tall, buoyant figure until she was hidden from him by a bend of the trees, Then he drew a long breath; a pas- slonat,e sense of gratitude and admira tion stirred him, his . fine, mobile fea tures were quivering under the strong emotion which possessed him. "Ah! so that Is she," he exclaimed. The Royal Academy once more had opened Its wide portals to admit the publlo and to receive the deadly crltl clsm of tnartlstlo ' sightseers, whose habit It was to condemn wholesale, vent ing their spleen upon the pictures, which had cost, so many hours of labor, and had Invoked so many dreams of fame. Like bees around a honey pot, a crowd was always gathered in the usual circle about one picture by a hitherto unknown artist. The picture was called "The New Samaritan." " "My. dear, you must see that picture by Phil Abbot; all London is mad over it What a very tlmesome and obtrusive crowd, to be sure! It Is. always the same at the Academy, one can see peo pie, but no pictures. Come Alice, there is a gap now and we may be able to squeese through," Alice Trevor followed Lady Horner with uncomplaining meekness. The pic ture was hung on the line, but at present she could obtain only a glimpse of over spreading green foliage and the top of the plain gilt frame; then Several per sons moved away, and, to her surprise, Alice saw that the eyes of some were filled with tears. So this wonderful picture by Phil Abbot commanded the moribund sympathies of the respect able middle classes. Alice felt an In clination to smile, but the next moment she was In front of the picture, and her eyes were riveted to the life-like oanvas. The background , was of green foliage, almost obscuring blue , and cloudless skies; a seat In the foreground was oc cupied by the half-reclining figure of a man, shabbily clad, his face ashen hue, with eyes closed in a lethargy of de spair, at once realistic and convincing. The ' beautiful, young Samaritan was bending over him with a little gray purse in her hand, that she was In the act of slipping Into the sleeper's pocket A shrinking timidity was in her atti tude, but her face showed only a divine compassion -for the misfortunes of one who had fallen by the way. "Well, my dear, what do you think of ltf" Lady Horner's voice now broke in. Isn't It simply perfect? The beauty, the tender grace of it, makes me feel In clined to weep. Phil Abbot Is a genius. Chevenlx tells fine that he knows him, and has promised to bring htm to my next at-home." , . ' ' Alice Trevor's eyes were shining, her face was transfigured, and for a mo ment she could not reply. She felt cer tain of the identity of the artist; and later, when Chevenlx had fulfilled his promise to Lady Horner, she found she was not mistaken. Lady Horner had baited her Invita tions to her at-home with PhU Abbot's name, and London responded with Its usual eagerness when the Hon Is on ex hibition. He was pronounced interest ing, an olive-skinned man, with dark. Impassioned eyes must always be that, but otherwise not diverting. Captain Chevenlx declared him to be "an awfully good chap," but Alice Trevor knew hlra best for she had gauged the depths as well as the heights within him. - To others be was distant from a na tive pride; with her only diffident, and this touched her inexpressibly. His marvelous talent had placed him In an envied position; royalty beckoned to him and bid him welcome; but he had eyes only for one soft pair of dove-gray eyes, whose approval he sought London be gan to whisper of the marvelous like ness the woman In his picture bore to Miss Trevor, and It was all arranged for them long before he spoke. He told her first of the temptation which bad assailed him. his sense of failure, the gradual misusing of the vital forces within htm. He told her - of a fancy that had ruined him, and of his consequent downfall. And she listened to him with tears In her beautiful eyes. But when he told her of his love, humbly, expecting nothing In return, she could only look her answer, but It sat isfied him. .:. ZBBXaATXXO A OBJBAT DZSEBT. From the Chicago Record-Herald. The passage of the reclamation act by congress in 1902, by which money from the sale of publlo lands Is to be devoted to Irrigation of the arid regions of the west, was the result of a campaign of education and agitation that will mean In -time the creation of a new inland empire e-f great wealth and productive ness out of an absolute desert ' . Of alf the hundred and twenty million acres of reclamation land in the arid west, the greatest opportunity for recla mation . and development, according to L. R. Freeman In the Review of Re views, lies in "the despised desert along the Colorado river. : Here in this un peopled region, this anathematised land, there lies hidden, ''waiting but the wash of water to uncover it, wealth besidfl which the practical value of our blood bought tropical islands ' seems .trifling, and an. actual capacity for production that shames the wildest tales told of the agricultural achievements of - tlw great Mississippi valley in its best days." The practicability of Irrigating; this desert of Colorado has - ' already been most completely demonstrated. A desot late stretch of sand, sage-brush, rocks and cactus has been transformed into fields of barley, wheat, alfalfa, sorghum, milo. maize and Kaffir and Egyptian corn.. Up to the summer of 1900 the Imperial - valley m southeastern Cali fornia was a stretch of rainless, sun- drledt land as true to the name "desert" as any arid waste on the face of the globe. During the year 103 crops were produced in this valley that averaged from 160 to 180 for each of the 185,000 acres Irrigated. This result was ob tained by running a 60-mile canal from the Colorado river. The plans of the government for Irri gating 1,200,000 acres in the Colorado valley call for a aeries of canals, reser vcrlrs and dams .upon a colossal scale. The outside cost of this splendid scheme of Irrigation is placed by engineers at $22,000,000, while the values' to be' cre ated, inciudis! the . possible ueveiop ment and transmission of electrical power created at the various dams, are beyond computation. At $100 per acre a very low valuation for irrigated land the land to be' reclaimed would be worth tl20.000.000. while the elec trical energy to be developed is conser vatively calued at $100,000,000, making a neat little total of $220,000,000 to be added to the national wealth. With Pleasure. From the Indianapolis Sun. "I'll trouble you to hand over your watch," said the courteous footpad. "No trouble at all. I assure you," re plied the equally courteous cttlsen. "It's one of those dollar watches that's guar anteed to run one year, and the year's Up." Costly Judicial Style. From the London Dally Mall ; The outfit of an English Judge costs about 3,vtn. He has to have at least five gowns of silk, besides a girdle, a scarf, a casting hood, a black cap, a three-cornered cap, a beaver ' hat cocked hat, silk hat, lace bands and two full court suits, with swords.
