Leopold Elb. 10 LIGHTNING TRAVEL. Nothing is new under the sun, least of all the monorail with which the Berlin Lokal-Anzeiger is about to revolutionise traffic conditions in Europe. But the monorail today is about as undeveloped as was the balloon in the 18th century. Develop ment, not invention, is the world’s crying need to day. With its edition of Saturday the journal men tioned published a supplement of extraordinary in terest to everybody who travels. It dealt with the August Scherl monorail system, which is believed to be under the earnest consideration of the German railway authorities. Should this “earnest considera tion” materialise into deeds, and granted half of Herr Scherl’s dazzling prospects are based on con crete fact, we shall soon be skimming across the face of Europe at a speed compared to which th modern automobile is a sluggard snail. There ar practically no limits to the attainable speed, and we remember that when Mr. Brennan (who we believe to be the originator and maker of the first monorail model) was consulted by a syndicate anxious to lay a mono track between Liverpool and Manchester, he promised a minimum speed of 100 miles an hour, and a maximum of 300! But Herr Scher! is more ambitious in scope. He has taken the map of Europe and sectioned it off into zones measured by hours, thus giving the time to all the great European centres from Berlin at a glance. At the end of this notice we append a few illuminating extracts from the monorail time-table. With that curious combination of artistic and uti litarian elements which constitute the Teuton cha racter, the promoter of the new traffic scheme has worked out his idea of a railway system destined not only to afford marvellously rapid transit, but to beautify the country traversed. His plan is to keep the permanent way at a uniform elevation above the earth’s surface, running along a lofty but substantial embankment. The lines converge upon and radiate from a magnificent central station—presum ably to be situated in Berlin—the whole looped up by belt lines. We sincerely hope that the authorities will test this scheme thoroughly, and that if found practicable it will be brought into being as rapidly as possible. It may be mentioned that the design for the coaches is on the American system, seats each side and an aisle down the middle.

According to the above figures, it should be pos sible under the new system to reach London from Berlin or Dresden within eleven hours, while from Dresden to Vienna would be an easy run of four hours. It sounds too good to be true, we fear. THE CHINESEJEL DORADO. (Daily Record correspondent.) New York, June 20. If any additional proof were needed to manifest how completely modern America has discarded her one time traditional insularity it is to be found in the strenuous endeavours now being made by a select band of American business men to exploit the fabulous possibilities of the Chinese market. In this respect the United States may claim international precedence,—and intend to maintain it. The great commercial nations of Europe have had innumerable chances of gaining and enjoying the advantages of China’s confidence. The golden opportunity has o/ieied in turn to Great Britain, Russia, France, and Germany. All successively spurned it, and utilised what foothold they gained in the Celestial Empire for the advancement of their own ephemeral ends, remaining astonishingly blind to the brilliant promise of the future. Nearly all the great Powers have alienated Chinese sympathy by seizing on some puerile pretext or another slices of Chinese territory, which they hold by force of arms, landing troops and anchoring their warships in Chinese mud. The Chinaman, in spite of his many, to Europeans, in comprehensible foibles is, after all, a human being, and his memory is apparently no shorter than that of his European brother man. More than half a century’s experience has convinced the Chinese that Europeans are all “yellow' devils” who must be fought off Chinese territory by every available means. America’s chance lay in this smouldering animosity against Europe, and with extraordinary foresight and wonderful enterprise she has stepped in at the psychological moment. Unless some very bad mis takes are made, American influence should be ab solutely predominant in China within ten years. There are, it is true, one or two outstanding points of friction, chief among these being the burning problem of yellow emigration. But American policy in regard to China of late has been admirably shaped and directed, and there is every indication that Mr. Taft’s tenure of office will witness the strengthen ing of the political and economic ties which now bind together the Celestial Empire and the United States. Authorities are agreed in predicting a future of wonderful prosperity for China. It is true that for years past each premonitory yawn that escaped from the yellow Colossus was hailed as a sign that he was waking up. The “awakening of China” has been a catchword for more than a decade, but at last the yellow man has left the couch on which he slumbered for ages in a close atmosphere of musty tradition and archaic prejudice. Anybody who keeps a sharp eye on events across the Pacific must have become a profound believer in China’s ‘future. The cables inform us every day of some new move along the road of progress and reform. We in America possess great advantages over Europe in regard to our Chinese news service. The European’s concep tion of China is still hampered by antiquated myths in which the Chinaman figures as a mysterious per son clothed in Wonderful garments and nodding drow sily over a cup of tea. The nodding Mandarin, in fact, still remains the European symbol of China. Well, the longer that conception holds good in Europe, the better will it be for us.

M. the King of Saxony and the Emperor of Austria. Superb artistic work. Moderate terms. masterly move in the game was our remittance of the Chinese Boxer indemnity, an act which caused a complete revulsion in Chinese feeling towards the United States. Europe is clamouring for the “open door” and intends to see that she gets it. But she has wasted over much time in political juggling, and when she arrives she will assuredly find the “open door” so crowded with American financiers and business men that she will perforce have to cool her feet on the mat and ruminate on the exact significance of the verb “to hustle.” W. B. THE TSAR’S VISIT TO ENGLAND. London, June 28. In the House of Commons today Mr. Carlik* (Unionist), asked the Attorney General whether his attention had been called to an article that had appeared in a newspaper a short time ago instigat ing the murder of the Tsar during his coming visit to England. Sir W. S. Robson replied that he had read the article referred to, and it was of a highly criminal character. In view, however, of the approaching visit of the Emperor of Russia, the Government did not think it advisable or necessary to give any informa tion as to the steps they intended to take against the persons responsible for the article in question. THE BRITISH CLERGYMEN’S VISIT. London, June 29. Mr. Ellis (Liberal), speaking at Scarborough yes terday on the impression derived from their tour by the British clergymen who had lately visited Germany, said they had been impressed first and foremost by the words addressed to them by the German Emperor on the occasion of the reception of the party by his Majesty. Mr. Ellis read a letter from the Archbishop of Canterbury, “in whuSh his Grace, alluding to the value of the visit, wrote, “What we want, is simply the recognition of the common interests and aims and of the facts and forces that unite us; and I contend that that object has been effectually furthered by the last visit.” GREAT COAL STRIKE THREATENED. London, June 29. The Daily Telegraph publishes a report of a con ference held at Cardiff yesterday of delegates from all the branches of the Miners’ Federation in South Wales. The result of the conference appeared, the report remarks, to leave the situation more difficult than ever, since a strike was generally regarded as inevitable. Mr. Abraham, M.P. for Glamorganshire (Rhonda valley), Vice Chairman of the Monmouth shire and South Wales Conciliation Board, and Pre sident of the South Wales Miners’ Federation, took the chair at the conference and expressed his opinion that a way to the solution of the difficulty might be found; but that if a breach should occur, the sup position that it would only be of short duration should not be indulged. On the contrary, the strike, he said, would be one of the largest and most ob stinate recorded in history. THE CHOLERA IN ST. PETERSBURG. St. Petersburg, June 29. There have been 65 fresh cholera cases and 30 deaths since yesterday. The number of cholera pa tients tinder treatment is 514.
