WEDNESDAY, AUGUST II. 1891

EVERY mail from China brings
news of fresh troubles between the
Chinese and foreigners, some of
these resulting in bloodshed, for
which most undoubtedly the Chi
nese government will be held res
ponsible. Still, foreigners are to
some extent accountable for the
growth of this hostile feeling in
China. It has been augmented by
the recent anti-Chinese legislation
in the United States, in Australia
and other countries, not to speak
of Hawaii. 1t will result sooner
Or later in open war. Even now,
France has made demands on
China, which if not satisfied, will
result in an open attack on some
of her ports. DR.. Happier of Can
ton, father of Mrs. F. w. Damon of
Honolulu, said recently to the Call
interviewer, in San Francisco,
"prlor to my departure many
threats had been made by the
natives against foreign residents of
Canton, the Chinese being parti-
cularly inimical to the mission
aries of all denominations. Angry
mobs pursued US and stoned US
whenever we appeared, and our
lives were in such peril that the
British Consul at Canton sent
down to Hongkong for a gunboat,
and thirty foreign customs officials
organized military company for
the defense of their women and
children. Since my arrival in San
Francisco, I have heard that the
Emperor of China has issued an
edict that the foreign residents
must not be molested."

THE DREIBUND.

A correspondent asks what is meant
by the Dreibund so often mentioned of
late in the press dispatches. 1t is a
triple alliance between Germany, Aus
tria and Italy by which they bind them
selves. in certain contingencies, to unite
forces for mutual protection. It is, no
doubt, directed again Russia on the one
hand, and France on the other. Those
powers are believed to be intent on war
if only they saw fitting opportunity.
france makes no secret of her intention
to retake Alsace and Lorraine whenever
she can lay hands on them, and Russia's
traditional policy is to take CONSTANT
nople, seize the Dardanelles, and so COM
mand the Mediterranean, menance Italy
and endanger England's road to India.
AS France and Russia have no conflict
ing interests an alliance between them
seemed possible, and even extremely
probable. The indications have long
pointed TO something of the kind being
contemplated. The diplomats of Eu.
rope. whose special business it is to keep
well-informed in regard to all such move
ments. have no doubt that a secret I'M
derstanding has existed between France
and Russia for some time. They have
been steadily increasing their arma-
ments and pursuing policy Of prepare
ton unexplainable upon any other hypo-
thesis than a war-like intention. The
French army is believed to be larger
and more effective than ever before in
the history of that country. Russia has
been making stupendous efforts to rem
der the mobilization of her armies on
her Western frontier easy and rapid.
For this purpose double lines of railroad
have been laid down on her whole
Western side from North to South.
Within two weeks she could have her
armies modified on the Austrian and
German frontiers. Of course so much
preparation for attack is taken to have
its natural meaning, and the Triple
Alliance, or D-eibund, is the conse-
quence. That is really quadruple com
bination admits of little doubt. Eng
land is pretty surely the fourth men,
Der of the combine. There was no
need for her to enter into written stipu-
lations to 60 to the aid of Germany in
case of real need. Between the two
countries there is a bond of alliance
stronger than any mere verbal pledge
could ever be. Beyond the ties of kim
ship there are mutualities of sympathy
and of interest. England's feet will be
surely in the fight if it comes. But it is
believed that the Dreibund insures
peace. AS long as it continues it is
thought that neither France nor Russia,
nor both together will dare to venture
upon aggressive war. Sooner or later
they must either fight, disarm Or become
bankrupt.-[Ne News Letter.

Fort Street Sidewalks.

Mr.. EDIToR:-Now that the road
supervisor is giving his attention
to the much needed repair of Fort
street, it behooves all property
owners of this much-traveled
thoroughfare to assist him in
making a permanent and neat job
of it. The metal used is of the
best material, and the grading
seems to be all that is possible.
No good work, however, can be
done without a firm curbing. The
government does the work if the
property-owners will go to the in
significant expense of buying the
material. Yet many refuse to do
this. I would ask, in all fairness,
if it be possible for the road super
visor to make good streets, side
walks, and build steps into private
residences on one per cent. low
valuation of property?

THE EMPEROR OF GERMANY.

The recent visit of the Emperor
of Germany to England has brought
about, independent of political con-
siderations, some interesting partic-
ulars of the Emperor's personal
characteristics, both of physique,
tastes and favorite occupations.
In book lately written by Mr..
Harold Frederick, entitled "The
Young Emperor, William II of Ger
many; a study in Character-Devel-
opment on throne;I' we are tod
that Williams father was the first of
his family to be sent to University,
and himself the first to go to pub
lie school, the big gymnasium of
Cassel being chosen for the pur-
pose.
Here he, at the age of fifteen, his
brother Henry of twelve, and their
tutor, were lodged in an old schloss,
which had been one Of the Electoral
residences, and out of school hours
lived in a considerable secluslon,
but in the school itself they were
treated like any of the other pupils.
The following anecdote shows that
at this early age the future EN-
peror showed some independence
OF character, as we'll as a conspicu-
GUS fondness for fair play. One of
their tutors, wishing perhaps to
curry favor with the prince and
knowing that he was more back
ward in Greek han most of his
class, warned him beforehand that
the morrow's examination was to
be upon certain chapter of Keno
phon. He received the hint in ST.
lence, but early the next morning
went down to the class room and
wrote in large letters on the black
board the information he had re
ceived, so that he might have no
advantage over his fellows.
Of the Emperor's appearance the
writer says: "There are two quite
distinct and different Williams. On
great state occasions he appears to
be tall man with a stern, thought
full face and holding himself with
arrow-like straightness, and has a
most distinguished bearing. In
private life, when he relaxes his
soldier-like gravity, he does not
give the idea of a tall man, and his
face wears a softened and kindly
expression, breaking into an ex-
tremely sweet and winning smile.
AS boy, he was very pale, with
light faxen HAIR. Years of OUT
door life have burned his face to a
tawny brown. His hair IS of aver
age darkness, though his curIed

moustaohe is of light yeilowish

moustache is of light yeilowish
color.
He rides well, fences admirably,
is skillful boatman, swims and
bowls we'll and delights in noun
tain climbing, and is keen sports
man. This is the more remark
able as his left arm is practically
paralyzed. He has trained him.
self to hold the rein with it when
he rides, but that is the sum of it's
usefulness. The arm is four inches
shorter than its fellow, and the
hand is malformed, he even has to
use his right hand to place the left
on the hilt of his sword. He is
fond of shooting and a skilled
marksman. He uses light Eng
fish gun and carries it on his
shoulder with the stock behind
him. At the proper moment he
brings the weapon forward by
movement of his right arm, with
incredible swiftness and deadly
accuracy of aim.
1t is a commonplace experience
for the Emperor to do four hours
work in his Berlin study in the
early morning, spend the rest of
the forenoon IN reviewing troops
| at Potsdam, trot back in his saddle
the distance of eighteen miles,
devote the afternoon to business
with his ministers. or receiving
and returning calls of visiting
royal personages, dine somewhere
where speech must be made. and
get back to the palace for more
work before bedtime. He lives a
plain simple life, his table is like
that of an officers mess, he is a
hearty eater, and smokes numbers
of light Dutch cigars costing three
cents each.
He lately slipped and fell on the
deck of his yacht and injured his
knee and has had to give up pro-
