President Taylor, of the state normal, is agitating a move on the legislature to induce action in making the summer school at that institution free. Five of the new chair cars which are being built in the Topeka shops by the Santa Fe have already been turned out. There is nothing that is desirable to have which these cars lack.

The Creamery Package Manufacturing company plant at Kansas City, Kas, has built a large addition to its factory for making butter tubs, etc. Two hundred operatives are employed. Superintendent Nelson of the Wichita street car line gave a trolley excursion in honor of his daughter's eighth birthday. Her little friends made up a handsome crowd and enjoyed the occasion. Mrs. Joseph Herman, of Burlihgame, with the entire family, were traveling in a wagon and while camped south of Coffeyville, was burned to death while cooking. There were five children, the youngest 3 months old. Henry Hibner was standing in front of a threshing outfit's engine when it blew up. He was blown 400 feet, over a wheat stack, and made two bounds, one of 45 and one of 25 feet. He was alive when the party reached him. C. G. Toland, of Wellsville, was found by trainmen near Red Rock station and taken to Perry, O. T. He was bruised in many places. Farmers in the vicinity of Russell are talking of putting up an elevator with a capacity of from one-half to a million bushels in which to store their grain. Chancellor Snow's report says that July was cooler than usual and that there was one inch and seven-tenths more rainfall during the month than the July average. For two weeks the average daily receipt of wheat at the elevators in Downs was 3,500 bushels. H. J. Parker, who swore warrants against eight Emporia druggists, charging them with unlawfully selling liquor, has been arrested on a charge of perjury. On July 15 there was paid for freight on wheat shipped over the Missouri Pacific from Lindsborg, $786.86, and the 16th $864. It is estimated that it will average during the shipping season between $300 and $600 a day. W. W. Addington's daughter was visiting at her uncle's farm in Montgomery county, and her cousin placed his knee against her back and pulled her shoulders back. She died from the effects of the act.

Greecey county complains of a plague of flying ants which throng the houses. In the court house they are swept up by the fire shovel full in all the rooms. The Kansas Oil and Gas company are still taking leases, having now 25,000 acres in Southern Montgomery county. They are making arrangements to put down wells. The house occupied by Mrs. Thompson in Wichita caught fire. She rushed to the gate where she fell. One whole side is paralyzed and she is blind; all the result of fright. Twenty-five years ago Anton Mermis came to Ellis county with his entire possessions tied in a blanket. This year he has harvested 50,000 bushels of wheat, from his own land. Some of the Topeka ministers complain that the old custom of being called upon alternately to hold services at the insane asylum is changed; one minister now going there regularly. Ed. Ford and wife were boat riding near Clay Center when both were thrown into the water. Ford was drowned but his wife was saved by holding on to weeds until help came. Miss Katherine West hanged herself in the Osawatomie asylum. She was highly educated and became insane from too much study. Her home was in Fort Scott, but she had been a teacher in New York, Connecticut and Michigan. The Wichita electric street car company has fixed August 26 as the day when it will turn over its entire system to the King's Daughters, giving them the day's revenue for the childrens home fund. During July the sale of stamps and postal supplies at the Topeka postoffice amounted to $10,642.56, an increase over July, 1899 of $1,500.89. Montgomery county farmers have the practices of plowing their wheat land in July; and have done so to a greater extent than usual this year. Henry Dorson, of Atchison county, claims that he raised an average of 40 bushels of wheat to the acre on land which has been farmed 40 years. Kansas Agricultural college has received a pure blood Guernsey bull, with a wonderful pedigree. It is about the most valuable of dairy animals ever brought to Kansas. An eastern writer in an article on Kansas spoke of the broad fields of buffalo grass swaying and waving in the wind like the waves of the ocean." Wouldn't that make a jackrabbit laugh? The medals which the G. A. R. will give to the members of the Twentieth Kansas contain the names of the following battles: "Bag-Bag," "Caloocan," "Apalit," "Malolos," "Calumpit," "Marilao," "Polo." The "Farm and Freside" warns its farmer friends from being worked by the Belgian hare boomers. It declares the flesh of the new rabbit is no better than that of the common kind and there never will be a greater demand for it. The whole thing is a swindle, it says. COLONIAL TRADE. COLONIAL TRADE. BRITISH COMMERCIAL RETURNS SHOW INCREASE. Afford a Steady Market for Products of the Parent Country—Comparison with the United States—Articles That France Supplies to Her Possessions. French colonies show a rapid increase in the proportion of their importations which they take from the governing country. An elaborate report on the colonies of France, their government, finances, and commerce, has been published by the treasury bureau of statistics. It shows that the total value of imports into French colonies, exclusive of Algeria and Tunis, amounted in 1898 to $47,741,416, the imports from France and French colonies alone being $22,853,921. ables and etc..... 2,477,472 Animal products, hides, etc. 2,162,551 Yarns and threads..... 1,812,207 Oils and vegetable essences..... 1,536,537 Metals..... 1,485,202 Chemical products..... 1,268,507 Fish..... 917,754 Paper, printed matters, etc. 862,504 Pottery and glassware..... 747,621 Timber..... 733,041 Live animals..... 728,252 Vegetables, fruits and seeds..... 644,388 Arms and ammunition..... 606,818 Furniture and woodwork..... 520,754 Dressed skins and furs..... 488,985 Drugs..... 322,814 Coloring matters..... 184,518 Clothing..... 119,638 Matting, wickerwork, etc..... 119,594 Dyes..... 111,375 Vegetable fibers, etc..... 99,174 Musical instruments..... 38,110 Sundry products and manu- factures ..... 3,190,283 Total ..... $46,917,236 Another and broader way of looking at it than the mere study of articles imported is to see the total commerce which the various nations have with their colonies, and the relation which their colonial commerce has to that of other parts of the world. A recent London letter to the Philadelphia Inquirer has the following: The world has been very wide-awake lately to the fact that the colonies of the British Empire have been of vast service and importance to England in facing the surprise party which has been substituted for the "picnic to Pretoria" which was expected to take place in South Africa. It will, however, amaze a large number of the mercantile public, even though they be well posted in trade statistics, to learn what an enormously valuable asset in England's trade is the colonial business. Without going into detail, and assuming for the present that the total of their interchanges may be represented by round numbers, say 2,000, the shares of the several holders stand thus: Total ..... 2,000 The colonies most certainly are England's best customers, as is shown in Mr. Mullhall's paper on "British Trade" in the March Contemporary. Take some figures for the lest decade, 1889-1898. England's aggregate interchanges, export and import, with great industrial communities were as follows: The British colonies ..... £1,788,000,000 The United States ..... 1,399,000,000 Germany ..... 824,000,000 France ..... 682,000,000 Total ..... £4,692,000,000 Thus England's colonial trade shows an excess of £389,000,000 over her United States trade, an excess of £924,000,000 over that with Germany, and of £1,106,000,000 over the French trade in a space of ten years. The contrast is still more striking if one divides the aggregates according to exports and imports. It is well known how England's sales to European nations dwindle year by year under the operation of hostile tariffs and commercial restrictions. Take the United States for the period under review. Her account gives the following results: Purchases from the U. S. £1,019,000,000 Sales to the United States. 380,000,000 Total ..... £1,399,000,000 The reports for the British colonies indicate much more equal conditions of trading and a freer access to their markets: Purchases from the colo Prices 100.00 miles ..... £949,000,000 Sales to the colonies ..... 839,000,000 Porto Rican Trade. Exports to Porto Rico in May have more than doubled as compared with the preceding May, and imports from the island are nearly doubled. Exports to the island from the United States in May, 1899, were $305,564, and in May, 1900, were $696,479. The imports into the United States from the island in May, 1899, were $647,179, and in May, 1900, $1,103,867. The May commerce with Porto Rico shows a much greater increase than is the case with any of the other islands. With Cuba the commeree of May differed little from that of May, 1899, and this was also the case with the Hawaiian islands; while in the Philippine islands the imports show no increase, though the imports show a remarkable gain. TRADE OF OUR ISLANDS. Exports from the United States to Cuba, Porto Rico, and the Hawaiian, Philippine, and Samoan islands, amounted, in round numbers to $45,000,000 in the fiscal year 1900, and were more than three times as much as in 1896 and more than twice as much as in any year of our commerce with those islands except in the years 1892, 1893, and 1894, when reciprocity greatly increased our exports to Cuba and Porto Rico. To the total for the fiscal year was, in round figures, $25,000,000 against $7,530,000 in 1896, and $24,157,000 in the great reciprocity year 1893. To Porto Rico the exports of the year were, in round terms, $2,600,000, against an average of $2,750,000 in the reciprocity years of 1892, 1893, and 1894. To the Hawaiian Islands the total for the year was about $15,000,000, or five times as much as in 1893, nearly four times as much as in 1896, and more than double the total for 1898. To the Philippines the total for 1900 was about $2,500,000, or more than in the entire fifteen years since 1885, the date at which the first record of our exports to the Philippines was made by the Treasury Bureau of Statistics. To the Samoan Islands the exports of the year were about $125,000, or nearly as much as in all the years since 1896, at which date the official records of our exports to those islands began. The total imports into the United States from Cuba for the full year show a total of $31,000,000, against $15,000,000 in 1898 and $18,500,000 in 1897, though they still are less than one half the average for the reciprocity years 1892, 1893, and 1894, when our imports from that island averaged over $75,000,000 per annum. From Porto Rico the imports of the year are but $1,350,000, which is less than the total for any preceding year since 1880, and is due to the destruction by last year's tornado of the crops which supply Porto Rico's chief articles of export. From the Hawaiian Islands the imports for the full fiscal year are $21,000,000, or double the average annual importation for the period prior to 1896, and twenty per cent higher than in any preceding year. From the Philippines, despite the war conditions which reduce producing and exporting power, the imports are larger than in any year since 1894. OUR POSITION IN CHINA. Our Claim to Equal Facilities with Other Notions Is Assured. The diplomatic history of the United States affords no better example of successful endeavor to secure by mutual consent an evident right than that offered by the recent correspondence carried on under the President's direction for maintaining the "open door" of trade in China. The establishment of spheres of influence in that ancient Empire by European States, supported by the control of important seaports, has seemed to many to forebode the practical partition of that country among foreign powers and the effective appropriation of commercial privileges in China to the exclusion of all not able or willing to claim a portion for themselves. By a timely series of diplomatic notes Secretary Hay has obtained assurances from the Governments of Germany, Great Britain, Italy, Japan and Russia, by which they pledge themselves not to interfere with the perfect freedom of trade in those portions of China where their influence may prevail. The unobstructed enjoyment of the privileges of trade is thus secured to American manufacturers and merchants by the free consent of the powers. Perhaps the most important fruit of this unprecedented negotiation may prove to be that all the powers, feeling the assurance of unrestricted commerce, may be disposed to accentuate to a less degree, or even abandon, that policy of commercial annexation which has apparently been promoted by the absence of such a just and reasonable understanding. The American claim to unrestricted facilities of trade in China is not a special favor asked and granted, or demanding reciprocity. It is based on treaty rights which promise equal rights to Americans with the citizens or subjects of the most favored nations. The recognition of these rights has been obtained at a moment when they were apparently about to be ignored. Less Failures Than Ever. "Fewest Failures for Eighteen Years" is the headline on Bradstreet's record for the first half of this year. That non-partisan business journal says: "The number of failures reported for the first six months of the calendar year 1900 is the smallest noted for eighteen years past. Compared with a year ago, the falling off in number is 3.3 per cent, while compared with 1898 the decrease is 25 per cent, and even larger decreases are noted when comparisons are made with the first half of the years 1897 and 1896. This year, in fact, for the first time in eighteen years, the six months' failures have fallen below 5,000 in number. Which Is the Better? Wouldn't you rather sell corn at 43 cents in Chicago than at 28½ cents? The former was last month's price. The latter and the lower figure was the Democratic price in June, 1896. Hopeful Tidings for Western States and Territories. Washington, D. C.—Senator Warren before leaving for his home in Wyoming, speaking of the work of the National Republican Convention, said: "The platform adopted by the convention conveys to the people of my state, and of every Western state and territory, the most hopeful tidings given them for many years. This is contained in the declaration that, 'In further pursuance of the constant policy of the Republican party to provide free homes on the public domain, we recommend adequate national legislation to reclaim the arid lands of the United States, reserving control of the distribution of water for irrigation to the respective states and territories.' "The fact that the Republican party puts no idle words in its platforms and redeems every promise it makes to the fullest degree is appreciated in the West, and with the positive declaration that the party is committed to reclamation of the arid lands of the country, all doubts that this will be done, and done speedily, are removed. "Had I had such a declaration to back me up at the close of the 56th Congress, when I attempted to secure an appropriation for the building of storage reservoirs in the West, success would have been assured. With such a declaration now a plank in the platform of the Republican party, success is in sight, and I confidently believe that before the 56th Congress closes, it will provide means for the inauguration of a system of reclamation of our arid lands which will do as much for the arid West as the adoption of the Homestead Law did for the great Middle West country. "The Republican party has already taken the preliminary steps in the work of reclaiming the arid lands of the West, and what it has done is of such practical and useful nature that a substantial foundation is already established upon which the work of reclamation can be continued and be made of lasting material benefit to the West. The first definite action taken towards reclamation of arid lands by the government was secured by the Republican party, in 1896, when by the provisions of the River and Harbor Act, under a section which I had the honor to present, an appropriation of $5,000 was made 'for examination of sites and report upon the practicability and desirability of constructing reservoirs and other hydraulic works necessary for the storage and utilization of water, to prevent floods and overflows, erosion of river banks, and breaks of levees, and to reinforce the flow of streams during drought and low water seasons, at least one site each in the states of Wyoming and Colorado.' "The examination thus provided for, was made by Capt. H. N. Chittenden, Corps of Engineers, and this report made by him showed most convincingly the practicability, utility, and economy of land reclamation by means of storage reservoirs to be built at government expense. The report of Capt. Chittenden is regarded as the most valuable contribution of information obtainable upon this subject, and is in so great demand that the 56th Congress has directed that 3,000 additional copies be printed. "The next practical step in the direction of arid land reclamation was taken in the 55th Congress when by provisions of the Agricultural Appropriation Bill, appropriations of $10,000 and $35,000 were provided to make a series of investigations by experts in practical irrigation. These investigations were placed in charge of Prof. Elwood Mead of Wyoming, recognized as the leading authority on irrigation problems in America. The present Congress has increased the amount for this year's investigations under Prof. Mead to $50,000, and the scope of his work has been enlarged to cover many new irrigation experiments and problems. "In addition to these investigations, Congress has encouraged and sustained by liberal appropriation the work of stream measurements and investigation of water resources of the country, conducted by the United States Geological Survey. "The Republican party, as I have said, never makes a promise it does not fulfill, and I confidently anticipate that at a very early day, the practical work of irrigation investigations under Prof. Mead, the collection of data of water resources by the Geological Survey, and the location and survey of storage reservoir sites in Wyoming and Colorado by Capt. Chittenden, will be followed by the erection by the government, on the headwaters of our principal Western rivers, of storage reservoirs which will serve to reclaim millions of acres of land now arid and useless, and transform them into productive farms and homes. The increase in value of land as soon as it is reclaimed and is insured a permanent water supply is enormous; and with the waters of our Western rivers, now running to waste, fully utilized, the growth that will come to the West will be almost beyond comprehension." Production of Spalter The production of spitzer increased more than 50 per cent between 1894 and 1898. In the Galena-Joplin district the value of the product was $2,400,000 more in 1898 than in 1897. This was due to President McKinley's policy of opening the mills. Majorlty Against Enslage The Republican majority in Oregon was over 11,000, and it was piled up against complete fusion. What will it be in the other States? Big Teacher for Philippines. Fred Washington Atkinson, principal of the high school at Springfield Mass., who is now studying the methods of the industrial schools of the south, preparatory to taking up new duties as the first American perintendent of public instruction in the Philippines, stands six feet in four inches tail in his stockings, and straight as an arrow.
