72:?- ': WHAT ENGLAND ASKS Scmmercial Advantages for Guar- anteeing Chinese Loan. THE OBJECTION'OF RUSSIA Latter Country Does Not “'aut the Port of Talien-VV an Opencd--Ncitl1erPower “'illing to Yield in the llIattéinl‘g- land “ ants to Build Railroads. Pekin, China, Jan. 20. —The Tsung- -li- “Tamen (the Chinese Foreign Office) was had another conference on the illliJect of the loan, which it is desired .19 obtain of England. Besides the '7r4gzht to extend the Burmah Railroad :hr' wugh 1'1'un- -Nan P1ovince (the most south“ estern province of China). Great Britain asks the light to build railroads th1ough the province of Sze- achuan (north of Yun-Van), and a third treaty port is demanded, the identity of 11',hich no doubt is Slang- Yin, 11 hich Japan proposed to open at the time of the Shimonesek negotia- Lions. Slang-Yin is just south of Tung-Ting Lake, in the province of Hu-Nan. This «take is an inland sheet of water, situat- ed about 500 miles up the Yang-tse- Kiaztg River, and about 400 miles from the coast. It will thus be seen that if 1 leat B1itain succeeds in prevailing urn r1 China to open the port of Slang- Y-'. 1, she will ha1e a fine trade 1oute - into the very heuit of China and into its most anti—foreign province. Fur- ther, if Great Britain persists in in- sisting that the Yang—tse-Kiang prov- inces be not handed over to a foreign power, and establishes herself on the Island of Chusan, which commands the entrance of the Yang-tse-Kiang River, she will have permanently opened to :rade the very best portion of the Chi- nose Empire. The pioposed opening of the port of Talien-V.’an (on the Liao-Tung penin- sula. and north of Port Arthur, a posi— tion which would command the rail- road cori‘hecting Port Arthur with the north and Manchuria) continues to be the chief difficulty. Russia desiring to ' keep the whole of Manchuria for her— self. Neither power is willing to yield on this point, and the question is no "onger a commercial one. British Ships at Kiao Chou. London, Eng.. Jan. 20,—The British Admiralty has just issued a list of the whereabouts of the warships of Great Britain in the far East.

Yokohama, Japan, Jan. 20.—The Brit- ish battleship Centurion, flagship of :he British squadron in Chinese waters, has arrived at Nagasaki. The organ of the Government reproaches RuSsia,Ge1many and France with fol- :owing a selfish policy in the Far East, 1nd adds: “Japan will avoid alliances, out she is prepared to act vigorously, if necessary for the maintenance of peace.” What China “'ill Grant. London, Jan. 20.—-A dispatch from Pekin says China is ready to open three new treaty ports and to agree to an extension of railway into Yum-Nan Brovince. but declines to consent to the exclusion of other powers than Eng- ‘iand from the Yang-'Tse-Kiang Valley. British Navy Strong Enough. London, Jan. 20.-—Sir Michael Hicks- Bcach, Chancellor of the Exchequer, speaking at Bristol last evening, ridi- culed the notion of providing granaries, as has been suggested in some quar— ters. He said he was convinced the British navy. was strong enough to hold its own and in any war England would have many friends ready to sup- ply corn. In closing his speech, the Chancel- lor of the Exchequer announced that China had approached England for as- sistance to pay the Japanese indem: city, and that theInegotiations were 'still?»~.~pending.“ ‘The‘ ne'ws‘paper state- ment on the subject he characterized as inaccurate and incomplete. The Government was not ashamed of these negotiations, and‘believed the country would approve them. He could see no «:eason why foreign powers should ob- ject; but if the negotiations failed, ”Great Britain would take her stand on existing treaty rights. Shot Himself in a Broadway Hotel. New York, Jan. 20.—-Henry W. Mudge at Glen Cove, Long Island, killed him- self in the Continental Hotel at 20th street and Broadway. A bullet from a big-calibred revolver ploughed its way through the right side of Mudge’s head, and though he was alive when found. he was so far gone that the rapid work of phyiscians was of no avail. He left no word indicating a reason for taking his life. Mudge was 40 years old, for many years a resident of Glen Cove, where he had a wife and son, 15 years old. __________ I, gov.

Everything Is Quiet--Basis of Payment to Be Made the Strikers. Boston, Jan. 20. —News from the New England cotton manufacturing centres, New Bedford, Biddeford and Lewiston, where strikes are in‘ progiess, is to the effect that everything is quiet, no movement of any sort having been made either by the manufacturers or by employees. Secertary Hart of the New Bedford Union says he looks for no particular change for at least two weeks, and it is thought unlikely that the situation in the smaller places will be altered until action is taken in New Bedford. The Spinners’ Union has decided up- ‘ on the basis of payment to be made to the strikers while idle. Union mem- bers will each' be allowed $4 a week and 25 .cents extra for every child in his family under 13 years of age. Doffeis will get $2. 50 per week, and joiners $3. _ St1ike pay will begin on Saturday, Jan. ,he inspected the batteries and torti- I 'fications and 2.9 Mis.

Philadelphia, Jan. 20.—It is nearly twenty years since any warship was built-in this country for a. foreign‘pow- er. The christening of the Japanese cruiser Kasagi at the Cramps’ ship- yard to-day is therefore a matter of national interest. On the last day of. December, 1896, the contract was sign- ed that called for a vessel to be equal in material and workmanship to corre- sponding ships in the American Navy; the Cramps say that not only has the letter of the contract been carried out, but that, in general efficiency, the boat is superior to the Minneapolis and the Columbia, the United States cruisers with which she is supposed to rank.
