Shanghai, Sept 21 A writer in the North China Herald protests against the. ruin which is being allowed to overtake the great triumph of engi neering, the Grand Canal of China The government, he points out ,1 al lowing the canal to go to decay. The lower stretches have within the past few months been allowed to become the habitat of organized and aggres sive river pirates, who fire into steam launches and plunder passenger boats and cargo boats indiscriminately. In the upper regions of the canal there li, on the other hand, a constant shortage of water, or so much that it cannot be utilized. A more perfect provision by nature of vast naturnl dams in the great lakes of southwest Shantung and northern Kalngstt It would be difficult to find anywhere, but they are cither unused or mis used. The writer goes on to allude to the silling-up of the erratic Yellow river, which Is now in many places as much above the level of all the surrounding country as the second story of a houie above the ground Those who know best, he says, predict another tre mendous calamity from this source in the not distant future. Then there will be exclamations of surprise that it did not come sooner, and howls for funds for "relief." Millions of Chi ne jc will be impoverished, hundred! of thnsands of them will be rendered homeless, and tens of thousands of them drowned and starved. IOWA SYSTEM NOT LEGAL.

DIQ GUNS ROAR IN PARIS. Sleep Almost Impossible to Citizens During Military Maneuvtrs. Paris, Sept, 21. Sleep In Paris has been almost out of the question these last nights, and Parisians and their American and other foreign visitors arc getting a very good idea of what it feels like to be in a besieged city The French military maneuvers this )car arc on a larger -scale than ever before, more than 100,000 men taking part in them, and every effort has been made to keep the conditions as nearly as possible to those of actual warfare A supposed German army is endeavoring to repeat what the Prussians did in 1870-71, while a French army is defending the city with bulldog-like tenacity. This is why you drink your absinthe amidst the thunder of guns which roar and belch fire from every fort in the triple line of defenses which sur rounds Paris like a wall of steel, and fond though the French arc of mili tary display and the smell of powder, they begin to wish it was all over, that they might cat and sleep in peace Plan Present for Kaiser.

Yesterday the minis ter took it to Valencia and delivered it to President Castro, who is still enjoying himself with banquets and balls in the inland city. The con tents of this last Dutch note are care fully guarded, but there is good rea son to believe that it is not an ulti matum. Baron Zieckendorff. who has acted diplomatically for the Netherlands since the rupture with Venezuela, will attempt to persuade President Castro to yield sufficiently to avoid a con- iiici, as ucrminy, u is nciu nere, ue sires that the Venezuelan status quo quo be maintained. FEARS OPEN REVOLT. Monarchist Party In Portugal Storing Arms In Convents. Lisbon, Sept 22 Insistent declara tions that a revolutionary outbreak in Portugal is impending continue to make their appearance in the local newspapers, and a new feature of these reports is the statement that the monarchlal extremists, realizing; that the Republicans arc arming for a revolt, are making ready for their de fense by storing secretly large quan tities of arms in the convents of Lis bon, where the authorities dare not penetrate. The movement is said to be sup ported actively by the clerical party.

City at Mercy of Disease. St. Petersburg, Sept. 22 The chol era continues to increase rapidly in St. Petersburg.
