IUIh s the following from its correspond ent at Peking: Tho railroad sJ'uatlon in China Is rap- Idly Improving. Conservatism has ap parently been nt last thrown overboard and tho government Is dealing out con- traets nnd concessions with almost a reckless hand. , Tho only completed line In tho empire 1 from Shanghal-kuan, a distance of about t's) miles, but tho road from Peking lo Hankow Is being pushed forward rupUly ns tho rolls can be furnlshol by the llang-Ynng Iron work nt Hankow. The pilvnto lines so fur author lied are tho Nan Yuang lino from Hankow to Can ton, a vuluablo concession which has been granted to Ihe American Washburn Curey syndlcato of New York. Then there Is a concession granted to Dr. Yung Wing to procure foreign capital and butld n lino from Tien Tsen to Shanghai. This will ultimately be the beat buitneta venture In China. The latest road authorlied 1 that grant ed to tho Russo-Chlnese bank. This road run. from Tai Tuan Fu, the capital of th. rich province of Shan SI, to Chang Ting Ti, on the Lu Han line, a th. road from Peking to Hankow la known, thus con necting with tha trunk lino aouth. Hut of far mora Importance than the mere granting of railroad concession a showing the spirit of progrea awakened I tha recent Industrial concession to the Anglo-Italian .yndlcato, represented at Peking by ChcvnJlor Luzxati. Thta, the first indu trial concern to be sealed In the Tung-llYamen with the great seal of the foreign office, grant, to tho Anglo-Italian syndlcato exclusive right to the Immense coal and Iron beds that exist in southern and central Sang SI, with the risht to build railway and cut canal ty the navlgablo river, A year ago a famous Russian traveler pub lished hi. observations on till, particular flold, whlcih he characterised a. being tha richest in Iron and coal of all ipot.

The Inter. .t. hown by our people In the work of the coiigr.ws xiviiks volumes for th.-ir Intel- I'.Kenee, ami seem to hold out tho hope that Astoii.i nnd Cl.usop county at large aro at last uwakenlng from their lethal '"niber. Now, Mr. Editor, wMi your kind per-' minion, 1 would like to make a few sug-1 gi stions whh h I hope will meet with your favor. That a new era Is about to dawn uion us rl;ht here In Astoria Is something that the dullest can see and comprehend. Our day of Isolation Is at an end.and If we are to survive and retain tho place to which our natural advantages o eminently en title us It Is high time that wc, ns a com munty, wore up and doing. " -.. r Kieu lo our agriculturalists tho practical way of el veloplng the farm and field, and while 1 am not unmindful of tho magnitude of that great Interest, yet our resources on land, and our Income therefrom, have up to tho present writing been altogether overshadowed by our resources antl our Income from our hitherto fruitful waters. For many years to come the river and its products will still continue to be our greate-st source of Income, and now, in vow of the fact that contending and con flicting Interests hav. well nigh exhausted our fisheries, I think It would be a good plan to try, If possible, to have an Inter Mate congress of fisheries held here In Astoria in order that some common plan of action could be agreed upon, and with the atAte of Washington represented at such congress, soma sytcm of laws could be framed and adopted, and submitted to the legislature of the two dates at their regular session, next winter, with a fair chance of their being adopted. Such a congress should and could be an annual affair. Tha business of legis lating for and protecting tha fisheries of the two states would then be placed in the proper hands and the conflicting taws of tha state, of Oregon and Washington re spectively, would be wiped out and har mony would take tha place of the present discord. There are many other things that such a congress could deal with, but I forbear to trespass on your patience any longer, and hope that either tha chamber of commerce or that live, enter prising body of men, known as tho Pro- gressrivo Commercial Association, will take up tha matter herein suggested and but roughly outlined, and try to bring about such a congress, which will surely be benaftclal to the city and all Interests In tha fisheries.

Ha Is Not Only a Great General, But a Great Diplomat. , New York, July 25. Rev. Thoma. Dixon, Jr., In his sermon tn the Grand Opera House, said ha believed the stories of dts- oredltabla actions, cowardice and prefer- anc for eating rations to fighting regard ing the Cuban troops, to be misrepresent ations. The subject ot his sermon was General Shafter'. Great Victory." Ha contrasted Spafn's condition of the fifteenth century with Spain of today and sadd that a nation who can speak the truth has no tear. "In three month's of war we hava raised an army of 300,000 men, sunk twenty-one Spanish sailor, and captured two adml- stroyed forty merchantmen, killed 1,000 Spanish Bailors and captured ewo admi rals, 25,000 men and an Important city. This Is a prophecy of future success. "Shafter Is not only a general, but a magnificent .diplomat," said Mr. Dixon. "Wtth an actual force of 13,000 men in three weeks we forced an entrenched army of superior numbers to surrender, not only the force Immediately in front of him, but other force, further distant. It requred a diplomat to do thia. "I am sorry Garoia misunderstood us. Some courtesy has "been neglected toward the, poor, proud ragged men. It mat DOWN THEIR ha. gone to giv.

Philippine.. New York. July S.-A World tpaclal from Waahtngton My: ' Former Secretary of StaU Sharmaa In an mterrtew aald: I regrat to hear of th. reported difference, between .General. Bhafter and Oarcla In Cuba. "If tb. Cuban, deaerv. enough respect to b. reoognlsed by tb. UnHed State., It SAeroa to me tbey ihould b repecud on th. field of batUe. Tbey hav. battled for liberty and freedom from Spain', tyrrany for half a century or more, and now that th. object for which they hav. o long fought for 1 in atght, they should share In th. fruK. of victory. Oeneral Garcia should hs ve been Invited to the .urren der of Santiago, and If h. wa. not a blun der waa made. "Congreea passed a resolution to expel Spain from Cuba. In that resolution it wa. dearly stipulated that w. should leave the Inland to th. control of th. peo ple thereof after a Arm and .table gov ernment had been established. Therefore we cannot with any atiow of consistency lay claim to the Island after It ba been taken from Spain. "It 1. yet to be determined whether the Cuban, are capable of self government. If tbey are well and good; w. ahould turn the Island over to them, but If the Cu ban, become dissatisfied with thalr form of government after we et t up and re bel against it we would doubtless feel called upon to step In and take the Island. Thl. to my mind Is the only contingency which could arlsa wherein the United States would be Justified in taking Cuba. "At this time it Is not possible to form an approximate estimate of the in demnity we should demand of Spain. Much depends upon future events. It seems to mo, however that the main Inci dent should not be lost sight of when the I'nited States begins to figure on an In demnity. I have always believed that the Maine was blown up by the Spaniards. u ma" however, that the act was dona surreptitiously and without the knowledge of the Spanish government. but the Maine went Into a friendly harbor on a frlemQy mission and should have been protected while in that harbor. "This Is a fact which the American peo ple cannot lose sight of. "Of the Spanish, territory which may accrue to us because of the war, there is only one island when I would be In favor of retaining, and that Is Porto t i Rico. There are re har .would be a valuabl Y ' rTJ I believe, there Is Rico. There are reasons why Porto Rico luable acquisition, but, as no reason for taking the Philippines or Cuba. Annexation of tho Philippines would be endless trouble for our government. Already wa are confronted with the Insurgent loader Aguinaldo, who has bedecked himself with Jewels, whistles and other trinkets to dlstlngush himself from other mortals anel if we attempt to lay claim to the Philippine group we may have serious trouble with the insurgents. "Porto Rico Is needed as a coaling sta tion for our warships In time of war and for our merchantmen hi time of peace. The day has como when we should have coaling stations In all parts of the world. The present war has forcibly demon strated that coal is as valuable as gun powder, and we should make every pro vision for fuel hi the future. "We have a navy of fair proportions, but the future will require an nlarge- ment of our present sea force. I am em phatically in favor ot an increase In our naval strength, but It is Just as well that the increase Is coming gradually. Our land forces also could be aug mented. A standing army ot 50,000 would not be too large tor our population. An Interoceanic canal which I hope to see constructed In the near future, would t ot great advantage to us In defending our western coast. It would do away with the necessity ot mantainlng a large naval department. A canal should be built by the government." NEW TUG FOOR ASTORIA. Portland, Or., July 25.
