(Copyright, ICOO. tl* Associated Pres*.) 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. SHT FOII HIDDEN PROPERTY. Trnstce Trying to tirt \s*pt* From (In nUrn pt I lot'll cl mcr. Norfolk. Va., Jure 9.—Through Attor neys P. J.

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.

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.

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 made him a gr- at • • mmunier had tie been born in a more oxalic 1 sphere of life.

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.
