OUTLOOK IS THREATENING
Bat War Has Not Yet Been Declared
Between China and Japan.

LONDON. July 24-Dispatchss to the Chi
nese legation from Tien-Tsin show that
war between China md Japan has not
yet been declared, but It is admitted that
the situation is most grave. The opinion
expressed In official circles here Is that
war is inevitable.
A dispatch from Shanghai says that the
report that war had been declared be-
tween China and Japan was premature,
although the outlook Is most threaten
ing. 1t is generally believed that japan
does not desire n pacific settlement of inc
Corean dispute. As evidence of this. at
tention is called to the fact that as soon
as one difficulty Is overcome Japan i'm
mediately raises another.
The latest attitude of the King Of Corea
la tho crisis is supposed to be due to
China's decided measures to uphold her
claim to suzerainty over the Corean pen
insula. The reports hat France and Rus
STA will support Japan against China are
pronounced to be absolutely g~roundless.

WELLMAN DEAD.
Reports From the Arctic Indicate
That His Expedition is Lost.


LONDON, July 24.-Carl Siewers says in
The Standard hat he is In receipt of adj
vices from Norway which leave no doubt
that the Wellman Arctic expedition is
lost. Experienced shippers just returned
from the Spitx bergen seas express this
opinion, and Colonel Fielding who accom-
panied Captain Mares expedition IN 1850,
shares the belief. The Pail Mall Gazette
Is In receipt of advices from Tromso, also
Affirming the general belief In the loss OF
the expedition.
The American North Pole expedition in
command Of Mr.. Walter Wellman, a we'll
known newspaper man OF Washington,
left Tromso, Norway, on board the steam
or Ragnvold Jarl, for the island Of spitz-
bergen on May "A last.
The expedition among other members
included astronomer Owen Ii. French OF
the u. 5. Coast and Geodetic survey,
Thomas b.. Mohun, a well known medical
man OF Washington; and MIR. Charles q.
Dodge, q photographer and artist OF the
U.S Navy department.
The Wellman expedition was particu-
larly well fitted out for exploring
without the aid OF a ship, so
v Is hoped that the reports
received In London may simply amount
to the loss OF the Ragnvold Jarl, and that
rescued alive.
No Occasion For Alarm.
BIZ The Associated Press.
CHICAGO, July 24.-The following reply
to an inquiry has been received:
CHICAGO, July "a. To the General
Manager OF the Associated Press:
The fact that there was so much float
ing ice this year led Mr.. Wellman to be-
lieve before he left Norway that his vessel
the Ragnvold Jarl could get farther north
than any ship had ever reached before.
This information was corroborated by a
great many navigators just before he left.
Reports that come about the loss Of the
expedition arise from the fact that fish
ing and other vessels nave not seen the
Ragnvold Jarl, which tAey would have
done in ordinary seasons.
Private c~ablegrams to The Herald
from Tromso say that even IL
the vessel is lost there is no reason for an
anxiety for the expedition and the crew,
which Is undoubtedly upon the ice some
where making its way toward the pole.
He arranged that the vessel should return
sometime between July Is and August
first, but possibly the vessel might be still
later. 1t was to return to Norway to
coal up and prepare for the
return trip to Bering sea,
as Mr.. Wellman desired, which would
require IL to leave about August 10. Con-
s%equently there Is no occasion for alarm
until after that date.
Signed, JAS. w. SCOTT,
Publisher of the Chicago Herald.

The first round was completed in the

On this leg II will be seen that Britannia

yachts came toward the harbor with cam

The two yachts were timed as follows:

ship, the Vigilant keeping q long lead on

The two yachts rounded Daunts Rock
on the third round in a heavy rain squat,
which made IL impossible to time them.
They then stood i'm for Roches Point,
with the Vigilant maintaining q long
lead.
Vigilant's Big Lead.

The American yacht began the harbor
distance with this lead of 8 minutes as
seconds on Prince:of Wales cutter and was
looked upon as being al easy winner and
as having well deserved her victory.
The yachts took q few short boards
from Daunts Rocks, the Vigilant changing
her small jibtopsail to a larger one for the
finish.
There was an unexampled scene of en-
thusiasm as Vigilant passed the line VIM
ner. Even the Britannia never
received such an ovation on
the Clyde. The crews of almost every
yacht in the harbor rave her q ringing
cheer, while ashore women wildly waved
handkerchief and shawls, while men
swuup hats and canes aloft.

MISSISSIPPI MATTERS.
A Nice Legal Onestion.

JACKSON, Dec. 27.-A nice legal ques-
tion is presented by the Georgia Pacific
Railroad Company in its refusal to pay
privilege taxes IN the grounds that the
tax is unconstitutional, and that no
State, city or county has the right to
levy or impose a license Or privilege tax
on an interstate road, as it is a r~estric-
tion Of interstate commerce.
The Georgia Pacific is now in charge
of a receiver appointed by the Federal
court.
A similar question Vas raised by tho
Postal Telegraph Company when the
State revenue agent demanded payment
of privilege taxes, Its not in the hands
of a receiver, it seems, is the only differ
once. The company raised the same
point that the imposition of this privi-
lege tax was an interference with in
terstate commerce, and, therefore, I'M
constitutional. The case came up to
the Supreme Court, which decided there
was nothing in the contention, and that
the company was liable for the tax.
What view tho Federal Court may take
OF the question remains to be seen.
The road does not deny liability for ad-
valoriem taxes, but is paying them right
along. 1t also, under the terms Of the
settlement with the revenue agent, paid
the privilege taxes for 1892.
