CHINA'S AWFUL PREDICAMENT.
The dlspatch from Pekin bringing -de information that
China is very desirous of securing representation in the
Russian-Japan peace conference, while sounding some-
what strange, is not without reason. While Russia and
Japan are the actual fighters in the present war, China is
not a little Interested by reason of the fact that China's
territory has been the battleground almost ever since the
war started. In short while Japan and Russia are at outs
with one another they have selected, whether intentionally
or by chance, the land of a third party on which to wage
all their contests. That third party was China, and it
would certainly seem that China was entitled to some
recognition in the final settlement of issues as between
Russia and Japan.
When the present conflict began in 1904 the Russians
were established at Port Arthur, which had been leased to
to them for 99 years by China. Their forces also occupied
part of Manchuria, which was also Chinese territory.
There were also small detachments in Korea. Thus it can
be seen that all throughout this contest the war has been
waged on Chinese soil, thus making the present conflict a
most unique one.
That the Chinese have suffered greatly is agreed to by
all The Russians and the Japs point out that they have
been beneficiaries. In that both armies have spent millions
in buying supplies from China and hiring her coolies to

or the ability to bite. The Herold also announces that
the female mosquito is the only one that sings. Thus it
is that the great suffering public is called upon to line up
and light the female mosquito. Hold mosquito is the only
one that thirsts for human blood and hence la the only
one that human beings should long to kill. The public in

By GEO. B. GRIBBS, President.
Houston, June 29, 1905.
tendant upon that bloody Sunday in st. Petersburg, the
later Polish riots, the czar’s childish juggling with the
popular appeals, and the series of disasters at the front.
It has not until the present moment been convincingly ap-
parent that the government was losing its grip on the guid-
ing wheel and that revolution really threatened. The con-
sensus of opinion pronounced that the great Russian pro-
vincial masses were too sodden in ignorance, too absolutely
under the domination of the crafty priesthood, too help-
less In their very clumsiness to respond In a dangerous de-
gree to the incendiary influences of such large centers as
Moscow, St. Petersburg, Lod», Warsaw, and other large
points.
The events of tho past few days have dispelled these
illusions. Lodz, Odessa and Warsaw, pulsating with resent-
ment against the harsh attempt of the government to put
down the outbreaks and urged on by hidden political in-
fluences have apparently fired the train of powder which
may blast on the pages of history a drama broader in its
gruesome scope and more terrible in its gory details than
that which marked the end of autocracy in France years
ago. Despite all efforts to suppress, we are told that with-
in twenty-four hours the slaughter at Lodz and the mutiny
at Odessa were reported by word of mouth from one end
to the other of the gigantic empire of Russia. Thee grim
recitals, it may.easily be imagined, are not calculated to
soothe the spirits of those simple peace loving peasants con-
stituting the backbone of the nation.
Now comes later news to the effect that the Russian
government, although it has been almost paralyzed by the
terrible events at Odessa and the news that the sailors at
Libau also have mutinied, is making desperate and even
frantic efforts to meet the situation, and to stamp the
flames of revolution before they can spread to the army,
which is nov the last bulwark of the autocracy.
With Poland red with the spirit of revolt, the Caucasus
already almost in a state of civil war, agrarian disorders
spreading rapidly, the whole country profoundly stirred
and the intelligent classes solidly arrayed against the gov-
ernment, all conditions seem ripe for the long predicted
revolution.
The world will watch developments with interest. It
is just possible that the government may weather the
storm now breaking from so many quarters; or it may be
the fate of this generation to witness the enactment of
one of the most unique and ghastly chapters in the
dramatic annuls of history.
A great many people who love their town and its people

Bonds Approved.
The attorney general approved bonds
of the city of Weatherford yesterday
to the amount of 11999. These bonds
were issued for the purpose of repair-

Land Lists Ready Soon.
Land Commissioner Terrell requests
those who have asked for lists - of
school lands which will be on the mar-
ket for sale September 1, to be patient
a few days more. The printer could
not get them ready by July 1, as he
promised, but it is believed they .will
be ready in ten days. Just as soon as
they are ready for distribution one will
be mailed to each person who has
asked for it.
He says he has been for some time
receiving on an average of over five
hundred letters a day, and Monday he
received over a thousand letters. The
number renders it impossible to ac-
knowledge receipt of them and ex-
plain the delay. Everyone will be an-
swered with a list when they are ready
for distribution.

Hon. W. L. Blanton, member of the

day to file the charter of the Gaines-
ville. Whitesboro and Sherman Elec-
trie Interurban rallway. The capital
stock of the company is >500,000. Sur-
veyors are already in the fleld, Mr.
Blanton said, locating the line. and
when this had been done work would
be commenced and completed without
much delay.
Mr. Blanton was a prominent and
active member of the last house and
said yesterday while he had laid aside
the arduous duties of state, he was
willing to come to Austin 0od serve in
a special session for a few days, if
he thought there was any necessity
for it.
He said he did not believe in case
the governor should convene the
Twenty-ninth legislature in a second
extraordinary session that the error
in the so called enrollment of the elec-
tion law could be corrected. Besides
this, Mr. Blanton said, if the legisla-
ture should be reconvAied l” the gov-
ernor amendments to the law would
be submitted without number and pro-
voke debate which would prolong the
cession indefinitely.
Speaking of the race for govrnor in
Cooke county, Mr. Blanton said the
question had attracted very little at-
tention up to the rePent. The people
had not made up their minds this far
in advance, and hence the whole situ-
ation was chaotic and uncertain. The

The opening up of copper mines on
the south shore of Lake Superior, upon
and west of the Keweenaw peninsula
and subsequently of iron mines in the
Marquette district, drew attention to
those distriets and created a traffic,
both passenger and/freight, which
must be carried on maily by water.
Steamboat lines were run to the Sault,
where the rapids prevented further
progress. A portage railroad across
the neck of land to a point above the
rapids was built, and some small
steamers, nearly worn out in service
on the lower lakes, were hauled across
the portage and floated on Lake Supe-
rlor, where they plied between the
Sault and Marquette, the Keweenaw
peninsula mining landing places and
Ontonagon.
The necessity of better communica-
tion between the lower lake ports and
the mining colonies on Lake Superior
became so urgent that the state of
Michigan decided on making a canal
around the Sault. Congress aided the
project by giving the state 750,000
acres of public lands In Michigan to
be applied to the purpose. In turn
the state offered the lands to the St.
Mary’s Falls Ship Canal company for
the construction of the canal, provid-
ed the work should be completed in
two years, it was a good bargain for
the company, which received 39,000
acres in the Lake Superior Iron region,
147,000 acres in the copper region and
564,000 acres in the lower peninsula,
largely In the lumber region. Work
on the canal was begun in the spring
of 1853 and completed in 1855. Stone
for the structure was cut in the
quarries of Aberdeen, near Malden, in
Canada, and at Marblehead, near
Sandusky, and taken to the Sault in
twenty-five sailing vessels. After the
completion of the work and the open-
ing of the canal to traffic a formal in-
spection was made by the Michigan
state government, the work accepted,
and the canal grant lands turned over
to the contracting company. It is the
semi-centennial of this formal accept-
ance that it is proposed to celebrate
in July next.
The complete work was regarded as
a triumph of engineering skill. The
canal was a little over a mile in length,
100 feet wide at the water line, and
18 feet deep. There were two locks,
each 350 feet long and 70 feet wide,
the upper lock with a lift of eight
feet and the lower of ten feet.
The rapid development of the traf-
fic and the Increase in the size of the
lake steamers made it evident that an
enlargement of the locks was neces-
sary. There was a general sentiment
that the work should be undertaken by
the general government and that the
canal should be free of tolls. Michigan
offered to turn over the canal and
locks to the United Blates on these
conditions and the offer was accepted.
A new lock by the side of the old one
was constructed and opened in 1881,
the canal being lengthened, widened
and deepened to a channel of sixteen
feet. The lock was made 515 feet long
and 50 feet wide, with a lift of 18
feet. But a few* years after its open-
ing the enormous development of the
iron ore traffic with the steadily In-
creasing size of the ore and grain cur-
riers called for additional facilities,
and in 1896 another new lock was
opened on the site of the two old
locks of 1855, with a length of 800
feet, a width of 100 feet and a depth
of over 43 feet, and providing for the
passage of vessels drawing 21 feet of
water. These two great locks are sup-
plemented by the canal opened a few
years since on the Canadiah side of
the rapids, both canals being free to
the use of vessels of either country.
Half a century has seen the develop-
ment of the Sault canal traffic to pro-
portions beyond the most extravagant
dreams of the projectors of the work.
Its Influence op the Industrial activity
and material prosperity of the United
States has been beyond possible calcu-
lation. The enormous development of
the iron and steel manufacture of this
country was made possible by the
opening and continual broadening and
deepening of the "Soo" gateway be-
tween the Lake Superior ore beds of
vast extent and richness and the fur-
naces and mills of the states on the
lower lakes. The whole country is,
therefore, interested in the coming cel-
ebration of the semi-centennial of the
opening of the "Spo" canal.— Cleveland

convention thereof was held in the
City of Mexico in 1901 and 1902. In
the meantime there was established,
as a result of the agitation and pro-
mulgation of this proposed trade col-
lege, a Pan-American museum of com-
merce in the city of Philadelphia. The
Mexico convention of 1901-2, through
their delegates from the American re-
publics, by resolution Indorsed the Phil-
adelphia museum of commerce and rec-
ommended to their several govern-
ments the advisability of "adopting
measures looking to the speedy comple-
tion and renewal of the collections of
their various products and exhibition
in said museum,’ etc., thus, in fact,
adopting the plan of the proposed Pan-
American trade college, at least in
part.
The twonty-seventh, twentyeighth
and twenty-ninth legislatures of Texas
have indorsed the proposed trade col-
lege, and by resolutions have called
upon the state’s representatives in con-
gress to take such steps, as were nec-
essary to have the matter taken up
by the several governments with a
view of establishing same.
The American Cotton Manufacturers’
association, in national convention at
Charlotte, N. C., May, 1905, by resolu-
tion indorsed the proposed plan and
called upon the president and the con-
gressmen of the United States to take
steps looking toward the consumma-
tion of the project.

would undertake to divide any part of Chinese territory be-
tween them seems to be highly improbable. Japan has
practically taken possession of Korea, and this once inde-
pendent kingdom will be practically a protectorate of
Japan, if it is not actually annexed. It is well understood
that Japan will also take over Port Arthur, at least for
the unexpired lease to Russia. There remains then the rich
and valuable province of Manchuria. Including the Llau-
tong peninsula—the province in which the bloodiest battles
of the war have occurred. This province is the property
of China. The Manchurian railway passes through its en-
tire length, from Harbin to Port Arthur. Russia spent
hundreds of millions of dollars on this enterprises. Who
will control It ultimatelyT That is a matter which seriously
concerns China.
While China has probably no djplomatlc right to demand
representation in the peace conference, it is undeniable that
the welfare of the Chinese people ought to be considered
by Russia and Japan in the final settlement. Each is un-
der a pledge—implied, if not formally expressed—to respect
the territorial integrity and administrative entity of China.
But similar pledges have been given by other nations only

profitable to forget obligations. China’s helplessness at
this juncture is pathetic.

THE CAUSE OF IT.
A History of the Pan-American Trade
College Movement in Texas.
A brief history of the movement for
a Pan-Ameriean college of commerce,
which has led up to the call for a
state convention in Texas, may not
be out of place "at this time. Having
been a student in earlier days, with a
fervid interest in the development of
the commercial interests of the United
states, I readily coupled with such in-
terests the future great ports upon the
gulf coast of Texas and the projected
Isthmian canal. But a step further,
and the great wealth of Latin-Ameri-
can commerce, almost wholly con-
trolled by Europe, was easily recog-
nized. Another fact was disclosed, to-
wit, that the United States, in order to
share that trade in just and proper
uroportions, would necessarily have to
adopt methods and means not hereto-
fore utilized.
Without attributing to myself any
great amount of credit for the happy
thought, in the year 1890 I conceived
the idea and originated the, plan of a
Pan-American trade college, or college
of commerce, and have ever since said
time persistently advocated same. The
plan was briefly suggested to the con-
vention of the American states in ses-
sion at Washington, D. C., in 1890, with
good resuits. In the year 1831, to-
gether with several prominent men of
Texas and other states, we Incorporat-
ed for the promulgation of the idea
was was known as the "Pan-American
Education Promoting association.”
The plan received the tacit and ex-
press indorsement of the president and
secrotary of state of the United States,
as well as many other great men of
the/nation. It was later indorsed by
conventions of the National Teachers’
association, the Frans-Mississippi con-

of the American States, or Bureau of
American Republics, and the second
