CHINA'S DILEMMA
Government Afraid of Russia an One Head and
el Other Powers on the Other.
Pekin, Doo. 10.—The Manohnriau
question has readied a stage which best
Informed obiorvcrs consider to be a
orisis in Chinese bistory. The Chinese
government is beset between Russia on
tbe one hand and Great Britain, tho
United States and Japan on the other.
The government is helpless and will
yield to that faction able to bring the
strongest pressure to bear.
Friuoe Ohlng is distinctly more
friendly to Great Britain than waa Li
Hang Chang. The British, American
and Japanese representatives have sep-
arately visited Prince Ohlng and insist
ed that they be shown any trqpty before
It is signed. Prince Ohlng has snbml.-
ted to them the draft ot a treaty praoti-
cally identical to the treat already pub
lished.
Pnnoe Ohlng Is now preBBtng Russia
for more definito terms, the present j
form of the treaty being so vagae fn Its
Important points as to lerve Russia vir
tually a free hand. The Japanese min
ister has taken a strong stand in the
matter and has notified Prlnoe Oblng
that Japan will require ooncesslons
equivalent to all tbe advantages con
ceded to Rnssia in Manohuria. ,
The belief is general that Russia In
tends to> Ignore what she regards as
mere formal objections on the part of
the other powers. Japan wonld go to
the length of war to stop Russian occu
pation of Manohnria if she were as
sured of support, bnt sho will not risk
a repetition of the rebuff reoelved after
the Ohina-Japanese war.
An official telegram announces that
the imperial court is now on its way to
Pekin. ,

Burned Stable Will Probably be Replaced by
Brick Structure.
The lire department wrestled with
the Farkae Are yesterday evening until
after darkness had fallen, und went
baok to work.thls morning The flames
were nnder oontrol only after they had
mcd6 a aomplete wreck of the big build
ing, bnt for hoars afterward they were
burning in the dobris at various points.
There was more hay in the buildings
than the Hekald stated yesterday, the
total quantity being about 030,000
pon.ms. Most of this was bnlod, and
tho flames fed npon It as thongli it hnd,
been tinder. It was good work by tbe
department that kept it from being com
pletely destroyed. One hngo pile was
saved, bnt is watersoaked and steamed
from top to bottom.
Mr. Farkas will rebuild as soon as he
oan have tho insurance on tho building
nnd oontouts adjusted. He proposes to
oroot a brick or Iron stable, more prob
ably tho former, and thus improve very A
mnoh the appearance ot tho neighbor- '
hood aroand the Intersection of Broad
and Jaokson streets.
It is prolmblo that yesterday's repwts
of the loss of mnlos in the burning stable
were very mnoh exaggerated, Mr.
Daniel Mayer, Mr. Farkas's bookkeeper,
stated tea Heiulu man this morning
that eight mules were missing, and It
was Impossible to Htate whether they
were at large or nnder the debris of tbe
rniped stable. A pretty thorough search
already made bus failed to rovoul the
bodies of any of the missing mules, bnt
It In possible that some may yet be dis
covered. ____
