By Jc3: Obi. Washington. Miy ”1 (S|>e.'!al.)-Tho sltuition in China wa.M almost the sole topic of discussion among the officials of tin* stat** department toJay and there was no concealment of their gratification at the news of the practical collapse of the war In South Africa, because of Its possible I earing on conditions in the orient. It Is the belief In that department end In diplomatic circles that this latter event, which will .loosen the hands of Great Britain, will have Important effeet upon the situation in the far east, where there has been danger of the enetni* s ot Eng'.awl taking advantage of her condi tion and giving trouble. That the IhltiSh government has understood this possibili ty was shown bv the m**ssage sent Ixird Roberts .-king him how soon he could spare I**V'"> rw-n.

The aery smallness of the force which the admiral is sending at Minister C n y* r's request would.

The .admiral's dispatch indicates that he lias not b*-> n alii*- to take the flag ship Newark up the Pel H.< river beyond the T**iig Ku fo’ts, just above th*- entrance. From that point to Tien T in, v.hich stands at th*- head of light drift navi gation. is tho terminus nearest the sea of the railroad to Pekin, a distance of about sixty miles. It is said nt the navy departin' nt the American sailors were probably towed in small boats by the Newark's st. am launches to this railroad connection. From Tien Tsin to Pekin is seventy miles, a thre* -hour Journey, ac cording to the Chinese schedules. The Chine;e minister Wu Ting Fang called at the stat*- department at an early hour today t<> talk with Secretary Hay. He was anxious as to news. Count K i slid, tin Russian ambassador who Is having the I’nitvd States for a visit to Europe, and who call* 1 to say goodby to Seei-tary Hay, is decidedly of the opinion that much unwarranted anxiety has been excited as to th* ac tions of Hi*- boxers.

Mr. Nal.-hlmi, the charge of the Japa nese 1* gat ion. who was also among Sec retary Hay's caTh rs. was likewise dls ■»osed to minimize the dangers of the boxers' uprising.

Japan ami tho Vnlted States lias h.' l the effect of Improving the situation. Hi- says that Pekin is much quieter, but tile "boxers" are still active in tho surrounding country. It i. hint"*! in diplomatic circles here that th*- sudden increase of activity on tho part of the •'boxers” Is nothing more than part of a well-conceived plan by one «>f tho great European powers to secure a permanent lodgement in Pekin ami to seize a position giving it full control of the great I’elcho river, the approach to the Chinese capital. it is further intimated that the plan has proved abortive, owing to the alertness of the other European powers represented in Chinese waters, particularly to the readiness of th*- I’nited States minister, Mr. Conger, and tite American rear ad miral, on board the Newark, which at once gave the movement an umleslred In ternational aspect, ami so tended to pre vent the particular nation concerned from aggrandizing itself at the expense of the interests of the other nations. Therefore, it is assumed that th*- excitement will rapidly abate ami the “boxers” will dis perse temporarily at least. The fifth, edition of Dr. Hathaway's new book. “Manliness. Vigor.

PIONEER IN FRUIT SAVING Peaches Not tha Only Growth That Gives Good Return. A Augusta Man Tells How He Has Found Fruit Canning a Profit able Engagement. Augusta, Ga., June 2.—(Special.!—The most competent authority in Oeorg il on the subject of canning fiuit is William M. Rowland, of tills city. Tlie firm of Rowland & Co., of which Mr. Rowland is the active partner, owns the Rowland Canning Company, located at Ath ns, where Mr. Rowland lid busi ness until liis firm transferred th? busi ness to Augusta last September. Mr. Rowland is piesidcnt of the Rowland Canning Company, now probably tic- larg est cairn rs of peaches south of Baltimore, as with their doubted capacity tit's sea son th y expect to .an a carload, <»I be tween **oo and 3-0 b-ashe's, each twe ity four hours during tlie height of the a son. Mr. Rowland was aske.l what would be tlie extent of the p*a it canning business in Georgia tills season, and how far it would go toward * oa. anting ti.e sarp.us of the sliipping crou. He replied that, while leach canning would be greauT than any ptevious year, inliuenced by the tr* laemiotis crop in s.ght, it would be ut terly inadequate to ’.aae ca e of the sur plus. That in fsi's, when we las-, had a pi *. li *-r >p. tlie Rowland Canning '.'om pany lefuseq more peaches than it bought, and quantities of the finest fruit rott- d, or wis led *o hogs throughout iii.ai.y sections of tl e ;>• aca growing i e.l, ami he thought tiie .-ame unfortunate condition wodid apply again tins season. Mr. Ru.vland was tlieit ti.-ked what was being done toward cxleutling th ■ l Aiui.m; inierests in the stale. li.- replied that this was a sul-jeet which various yai eis in th state have been agi tating t*ie past two months, and Tlie At lant i t on Illation and other papers have in id a number ot .meresting articles <■ n th** sul>j.'-t. Tiie trend ot tn-se articles iias been that canning factories would be profitable etltei pi is. s. that they eoa.d i-c ca.-iiy er* ' te<i ami equipped, ami that they should be l udl at on e in order to care to. tm- gri at p* acli rop in sight. ”1 do not dilier with them,” ire said, “as to )* a n tanning being a pToiitable busi ness when proper.y conducted, toOtigii my t \p"lit lie.- dots not sustain lue published . la t. meiils as to tiie number of thou mils of cans that can b - pacsed on a lunt.ed inve.ament.” '•Well, -Ur. Rowland, you say peach can ning is prolitaljle, why are not nnnepeich tanneries being built, or why are you hot extending your own interests?’ "From June 1, IS3*. to June 1, ll'O, a period of two years.

Mr. Rowland says there is no danger of Injury fr m compi ling plants ami there can he abundant work for all canneries during th” rush of tho peach season. The way to make a cannerv pay Is not to con fine its work to pcac'ies. but to can vege tables. berries, etc. For this purpose large ac’eage must bo devoted to growing vege tables for tho cannerv. There must be a stipulated < attract price ,-it which grow ers will furnish ttu Ir surplus nr ducts to the cannerv. they being nt liberty to sell their vep*tallies In the open market as long as the*’ .-an g"t hotter pr!*-es than the cannerv offers.
