Lcndn, June 9.— r /he Chinese sltuat on.
which at the legimtrg or' the week was
merely a small dol'd <-n tlie inte.national
horizon, n.w overshadows every other
to. ic.
England. Lccording to most authoilties
iav: those who c n/rol h?r f reign pcllcy
—i: fue to fa< e wit.i a crisis in far east
ern affairs, which thorgh it may not rv
jult in i.ny immodla e partition of China
must de':ermine ih<* part that England
shall play when the parti ion even ually
occurs.
That such an emergency should have
arisen a; a moment vh n Engl nd is lca~t
able to utilize it. when almost all her
land fotc s are 6,<.00 miles frem
heme, and when ther* is a paramount ne
cessity for keeping pn extra strong fleet
In European waters, i:- deplored by nil
shades of statesmen and politician#.
Lord Salisbury stands almost alone,
amidst his own party, in believing chit
the results of the flexor movement will
he neither serious nor permanent. The
attitude he adopts towards the unanimous
agitation for more strenuous action, is
voiced by an intimate filend, who said
to a representative of the Associated
Press:
Lord Salisbury’* View*.
"Ix>rd Salisbury believes we should he
thankful for small mercies. The co-op
eration of tlie diplomats and naval au
thorities on the spot, seems perfect and
unusually harmonious. So long as that
MltUfactory slate of affairs continues, he
will be eminently satisfied, and will take
no other steps unless one >r several of the
Powers ask Greet Britain s assent to n
scheme, which oppeara feasible, or. unless
Russian aggression becomes much more
patent than it Is to-day When these
contingencies occur, and the representa
tives of the various nations nt Pekin fail
to agree, then will Lord Salisbury, assume
the initiative. At present, he to agree
ably surprised nt the smooth progress of
the negotiations at the seat of tlie dis
turbances, and implicitly trusts In Sir
Claude MacDonald, the British minister to
China.”
It may r be added that Great Britain's
premier is not particularly optimistic re
garding the length of time the various
ministers and admirals in the Far East
will co-operate .so admirably.
Prospects of n Hnr.
In the meantime the members of every
embody in London and every club, to *;>•
nothing of the stock market, are dismiss
ing eagerly the prospects of war between
two of the Powers arising from the Pekin
troubles. Admiral Freemantle’s reported
statement tijat war between these coun
tries is inevitable, creates no surprise,
though such plain speaking is severely
discountenanced officially. A government
official, speaking to a representative of the
Associated Press, said:
"I quite believe Admiral Freemantle
said what is credited to him. He is a
splendid officer, but a rash talker. It is
not the first time lie has said things
which had better have been left unsaid.”
Little Interest is being taken in Great
Britain in American affairs. The presi
dential prospects are now made the sub
ject of editorials, and the English corre
spondents in America are sending long
reviews of the chances of President Mc-
Kinley and Mr. \\\ J. Bryan, but these
fail to stimulate any keen a lention.

Solutes were flrccl on the Canadian
shore, and Canadian whlit>e shrieked In
unison with those on the Michigan side.
This afternoon's parade, the Anal pub

Mr. Choate, for the first time since he

ver\t to his hUmdr. and he did not hes
itate to remind Englishmen thnt the traits
of character which they had heretofore,
"with lofty superior I: y, regarded ns pure
ly American, had been lately repeated and
exceeded In England."
Lord Russell proposed the health of S r
Henry Irving in an eloquent speech, to
which Irving feelingly' responded In the
course of hi* speech. Sir Henry sold;
"From an expeiience of seventeen years
I may say that the fortune* of England
are dear to those Americans who guide
and control the destinies of their country,
and it I* my bollef thnt the bands between
Great Britain and the great American re
public will grow ever closer with time."
Mark Twain’s speech, in wjilch he de
scribed his experience* ns a dramatist,
was received with continuous laughter.
Arthur W. Pinero, the Earl of Chester

Paris. June 9.—The grave situation in
China, which has developed this week,
monopolizes the attention of the political
world, and has thrown shadow over
questions of minor interest, even includ
ing the Transvaal.
Paris and its politicians, adm't the seri
ousness of the condition of affairs around
Pekin, and apprehensions are expressed
lest it lead to International complications.
The greatest element of danger In the
situation is goner illy fe-lt to be the double
duel for supremacy proceeding between
Russia and England, and Russia and Ja
pan. The sympathies of Frenchmen are
naturally with their ally, Russia.
It is not thought that England Is Hke’y
at the present moment, when her hands
are fully occupied v i h South Africa, to
tnke any s/op to produce an Anglo-Rus
slan collision. The action of the Unite 1
States is acknowledged to be a most im
portant factor in the situation, and ad
vices from Washington are closely follow
ed here. Her friendly relations with both
Russia and England favor the impres
sion that she will, if compelled by the
force of events, reluctantly join Japan
and England.
Views of French Government.
The following statement is furnished
Ihe Associated Press by a representative
of the foreign office as expressing the
views of * lie French government:
"The situation i? undoubtedly very se
rious, and unless the Chinese govern
ment rouses self to a thorough appre
ciation of the and tngers threatening is very
existence at the present moment, it i3
difficult to foresee what will b the out
come. Our cable advices leave the condi
tion of affairs s<i 1 somewhat obscure,
but it is evident that the Pekin govern
ment must net promptly awl vigorously
if it is to stamp our this rebellion.
"Despite the stories of defeats of the
Chinese troops, wo still think the army is
sufficiently strong to suppress the insur
rection, but it must act at once. In the
meantime, we intend to co-operate with
the other Powers in taking such meas
ures as .are necesnsry to safeguard our
countrymen and their properties. Our
minister and admiral have been Instruct
ed to take this course. Our interests are
identical with those of <he.United Spates,
and there is every reason to believe we
shall act in unison during the present
crisis. The aim of both is to net purely
in defense of the lives and Interests of
our compatriots which ore now in such
peril.
"We hope the fears expressed by the
press of various countries regarding the
probability of intcrnatlonol complications
will not be realized. The oQly thing to be
feared appears to be friction between Ja
pan and Russia,'but we thirfk the Japan
ese government is too wise io pit itself
against ihe might of the Russian empire.
Japan is certainly very strong on the sea,
but on land It is quite a different mat
ter. We ore hopeful that the trouble will
blow over through resolute action on the
part of the Chinese government."
At tin* Exposition.
The golden harvest of the exposition
has at last begun. Twice this week’ the
number of visitors exceeded half a million,
which surpasses the figures of the 1889 ex
position at a similar period. It is estimat
ed that over 8,000,000 persons have now
passed the turnstiles. The greatest diffi
culty Is experienced now in getting from
the grounds at night, the street car and
omnibus facilities being utterly Inadequate
to cope with the immense crowds.
The American pavilion was closed four
days fhls week for the improvement of its
internal decoration. A large piece of j
statuary representing three wild bronchos !
forms a very striking centerpiece.
The juries have begun their tasks and i
the American representatives in each j
group are hard at work seeking honors for
United States exhibits.

Reliable Information is to- the effect that
Germany at all events will vigorously ex

Omaha, Neb.. June 9.—Envoy C. H.
NVessels of the Orange Free State, was j
t?iven a big official reception by Omaha
to-day. Gov. Poynter, Populist, presided
over the mass meeting; and William J.
Bryan was present, and In response to a
call from the audience, made an lm[>a
sioned epeech of sympathy for the strug
gling republics.
"I came as a citizen, an American citi
zen, to be present wrlth other American
citizens, to meet the representatives of
the Boer republics; to Join with you In
expressing to them the sympathy of a
great majority of the American people. 1
trust that the day will never come when
a nation fighting for liberty, will look in
vain to the American people for sympathy
am; aid. These envoys hove honored us
by coming to seek our sympathy, givln<r
us as Americans, the opportunity to as
s.st them to gain that liberty which i
so dear to us,
"Once each year, on Decoration Dav,
we carry flowers to place on the graves
of our soldier dead. Do these flowers
do the dead any good? No. It Is to
honor the living that this loving custom
is maintained, that they tnay express
• heir gratitude for whai the heroic dead
have done for them. It is to our honor
that the Boers have come to us to re
ceive our sympathy. It ts hard fo under
stand the feeling of the man who has
sympathy for the Beer cause, but who
is concealing 1; for political reasons.
When a young man, I heard a
very able sermon. which has al
ways Clung f>y me. on the text, 'As he
thlnketh. so he Is.- Why shculd any Am'r
icon citizen who feels for the Boe sf., t
to express himself as such. I do not s e
how one can do other than <o cbo-we the
cause cf the two republics in prc'erercs
to that of a monarchy; particularly an
American citizen who has lived under and
learned to love and venerate our forms
of government.
Util Talk nt the Rnllottioz.
"There cotnes n time when the millions
of American t>eople have that privilege of
rising and easting tholr ballots agalrst
that administration of goverpmsnt which
falls to carry out their wishes, and when
those ballots are next counted I b‘flcv>
that they will he an exprpssion of tte
American people fer these people now

"We know by- history that'as monarchy

If a monarchy overt omes Jhese two rerub

"There are men among us who say that
le tinse England sympathized wish us
during the Spanlsh-American war, we
ought to say nothing against such a
friendly nation. 1 deny that such sym
pmhy binds us to act for England. W,
did not need the sympathy of England
during the Spanlsh-American war. We
need the sympathy of no nation on earth.
We have received nothing that obligates
us to remain passive and helpless while

OCEAAOGRAPUV.
An Institute Founded at Berlin for
Studying the Sens.
From the London Standard.
Germany, with tts usual thoroughness,
Is bent on systematically arranging the
knowledge likely to accrue from its de
velopment of a sea power. As our Ber
lin correspondent Informs us, the Em
peror has ordered the establishment in
that city of an institution for the study
of oceanography. At this center mate
rials already acquired will be collected,
and considerable addhio/is are exp?c ed
to be made to the knowledge of th * ma
rine physics, chemistry and natural his
tory. Among questions proposed for more
immediate study Is ihe mixing of the wet
era of the Bailie and the North Sea in
the Emperor William’s canal. The form
er, which receives many rivers, is much
less salt than ordinary ocean water. Also,
It Is less uniform In composition, since
fresh water can float on salt, being so
much lighter. On a ca.m day the t\to
mix slow ly, and at all times sul ness and
weight increase together with ihe depth.
In the Gulf of Bothnia, for instance, the
Sipectflc gravity of the fluid is 1,001, or, in
other words t a cubic foot of it weighs a \
thousand and four ounces, withe the some j
amount of distilled wa-er at the same - em
erature weighs a thousand ounces. T. i- 1
would be qui e drinkable; indeed, ordin
ary Baltic water, such as that by the
Danish Island of Moen, or the German
one of Rugen, tastes like an equal mix
ture of salt and fresh. That propor- j
tton. in fact, nearly represents th- tm
poslltoti of the surface water at Kiel. A
cubic foot of it would weigh about 1 001
ounces, while Ihe same quantity of North
sen water would weigh about V‘2.l ounces.
Of course, changes of temperature also
affect the weight, but they would pro
duce little effect nt the two ends of the
cnnal, which is sure to be invaded by the
heavier fluid, so that all Its water will
probably be a little sailer than ihat of
the Baltic. Evaporation from the sur
face of the sea also lends to in-reuse sntt
ness; nnd all sheets of water from whl h
there is no efflux, especially in warm cli
mates, become very salt. A cubic foot
of Dend sea water outwe’gbs the same
quantity from the Atlantic by quite 2 0
ounces; consequently the flea of Salt is
well-nigh destitute of living inhabitants.
Tet In former ages, when It was so large
as to cover the Jordan valley up to and
considerably north of ihc Lake of Gtn
nesaret, Its waters were at least as fresh
as those ill the Baltic. Our Berlin corre
spondent states that he in rust n of the
North sea waier would. It was felt, prove
Injurious to the fl.-h Jn Ihe oana . and h"
mentions that pike entering it from the
Baltic became bl nd. But we do not think
that manv kinds would suffer material
ly Some fish, like salmon, habitually
pass from salt to fresh water; others
make ihelr way from the sea som • dis
tanee up estuaries. M iny mu ltisks or
Bholl*. ns we call them, can elso adapt
themselves lo circumstances, though here
there are limits.
Oysters of some kinds will move from
the'sea far up river-, and certain genera,
such ns the flp rol Cerltliimn and Melania,
are represented by species in hoih fr sh
and salt water. But when the tlui 1b -
I comes too fresh, shells which pioperlv
live In the sen seem to suffer from the
change. The cockles of the Sea of Azov
are a-eommen mnrtne species, but their
shells have become thin the ribs upon
them less conspicuous, ami at Ar<t glance
their true relailonshtn would rot lie iden
tified. The same thing happens tn th'
Baltic. The coek e, mussel nnel per win
kle live In It, but they are very much
smaller thnn those in the open sea, whl’e
the whelk, limpet, and scallop ore absent
nnd the oyster Is only found (and then
more or less stunted) near the straits.
Tet this was not always the case. On

the eastern shores of Jutland are great
mounds of shells of mussels, cock es, per
iwinkles and oysters—all fuli-slz and. They
are refuse heaps of moliusks eaten by
human beings who were not the most an
cient Inhabliitnts of Europe, but belo-ael
to one of the earliest cf the races which
had acquired the art of polishing their
stone weapons. The con lit on of 'he e
•hells proves that the North sea and the
fialtic were then connected by much
broader channels. This, however, is in
no way surprising, f, r even in historic
times considerable changes of level are
known to have occurred in this regijn,
and above all, in the south of Sweden.
SHREWD STRATEGY OF V TOM CAT.
Formed an Offensive nnd Defensive
Alila-nee With Three Dogs.
From the Grand Rapids Herald,
It was not his size or his beauty which
made him remarkable, though his posses
sion of these.attributes > f ftlh.e super! r
ity easily made him promhKiu among th *
cats of the neighborhood with w om ho
waged ’ unrelenting warfare, but the fa t
is that he* possessed a eo ini
and a strategic ability that would hiva

For this cat, with true dip’oma y, ira e

and later enabled him to gain vi I rir#
over his hated rival, the gray tat ac os*
the street.
This cat had had many n conics' with
that gray <-at, but tile comb • l always re
sulted in a draw, because of the guerilla
tactics of his wary opponent, who pri
ferred a short fight and a tepid dash to
safety to a prolonged conflict v.her he
superior weight and fighting ab.liis "f
the cat wiih the controlling- mini wou and
have ,i decided advantage.
The thought tha' vt.iory, undlsputf
had never yet per.hei upon h‘s lvinne s
vexed the soul of the dipk matte le'lne ed
embittered Ills milk and beefsteak wim
wormwood of vengeance i trr delayed.
But at last dipl m.iey triumphed an l
retribution overtook ihe gray prowler and
disturber of midnight slumber.
One day in a fatal hour Ihe gray c t
Invaded the proclnto ■ f the feline Rs
marck when the allies of the jade wer'
at hand. When he struck a sudd n b owf
and ran a smile cf Joy p.i'led the w is*
iters of ihe cat wiih ihe controlling 1 1 •!
and with him the three ilcgs Joined the
chase.
Because of their super! r numbers 'h ‘
