smokestack being leveled to the ground
and the walla somewhat damaged.

Chicago, Feb. 18. "The greatest
question of our time ia whether the as
similation of the commercial force of
China by the world will be a quick or
alow process," declared Benjamin I.
Wheeler, president of the University of
California, who passed through Chicago
today on hia way East. "If the pro
cess be speedy," he continued, "there
i likely to be a disastrous disturbance,
but if it be natural and unforced, a
peaceful adjustment will be insured.
Therefore, the question, not so much of
tne Chinese aa of China, is of para
mount Importance to American.
"The pressure of ages ha made of the
Chinese, pas tm asters in commerce.
Their lack haa been iron, and aa the
commercial development of thia coun
try ua oeen cnaracteristically that of
metal,, they have seemingly been dis
tanced. But let them once acquire In
struction from the Western world in
the metal arts, and they will be able,
with their genius, to revolutionize the
commeroe of the globe."
