FROM OVER THE SEA.
JAPANESE FLEET TO TAKE A
MORE ACTIVE PART.
Efforts Being Made by China to Prepare
FOR Stand-Our Minister at Pekln
terest.

CHEFoo, Dec. At is reported here
that the japanese fleet is DESTROYS OF
taking more prominent part in the
war. The feet was seen off WeiHai-
Wei, but has now disappeared. Wei
Hai-Wei is strongly defended. The
Chinese fleet was still inside the har-
Dor.
Reinforcements are being poured in
from the land side. Gen. Chang is in
command. He is brave and compe-
tent officer, and is assisted by several
foreigners. The Chinese people fear
if peace is made the disbanded troops
will commit outrages. In ten days
time all the traffic northward will
close. The Japanese will have to act
quickly if they intend to attack Pekln.
The last reliable report received here
says Japan has informed the American
minister that she is willing to negoti-
ate if China sues for peace. This
China has done, SO an armistice is like
ly to be arranged

Housekeepers frequently wonder
why it is that they cannot mako bis
cult and cake that are light and palat-
able and that taste as delicious as the
biscuit and cake made by their mothers
and grandmothers, the delightful
memory of which even to this day
Great a sensation of pleasure to the
palate. The trouble arises from the
highly adulterated state of the ma
terials they have to work with, par
ticularly the cream-of-tartar and soda
used to raise or leaven the food.
Cream-of-tartar and soda that are now
procurable for domestic purposes con-
tain large quantities of lime, earth,
alum and other adulterants, frequently
from to 25 per cent and consequently
vary so much in strength that no per-
son can tell the exact quantity to use,
/ or properly combine them, to insure
perfect results. From using too much
or too little, or because of the adulter-
ants in them, bitter, salt, yellow or
heavy biscuits or cakes are frequently
made. These adulterantS are also in
furious to health.
All this trouble may be avoided by
the use of the popular Royal Baking
Powder. Where this preparation is
employed in the place of cream-of-tar-
tar and soda, it's perfect leavening
power always insures light, haky,
digestable biscuit, cakes and pastry,
that are perfectly wholesome and free
from the impurities invariably present
when the old raising preparations are
employed.
The Royal Baking Powder, we are
informed by the most reliable scien-
fists, is perfectly pure, being made
from highly refined ingredients, care
fully tested, and so exactly proper
toned and combined that it never fails
to produce the best and uniform re-
suits. An additional advantage in it's
employment comes from the fact that
bread or other food made with it may
be eaten while hot without fear of in
digestion on any unpleasant results,
while being equally sweet, moist and
grateful to the palate when cold.

WOULD INCREASE THE ARMY.
Secretary Lamont Believes Uncle Sam
Should Have More Soldiers.

Should Have More Soldiers.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-The annual
report of Secretary Lamont shows a
saving of half a million dollars in
salaries and contingent expenses in the
administration of the war department
at Washington besides economies in
the recruiting service, rents, etc. EX-
penditpres for the last fiscal year were
$50, 039,0 o9; appropriations for the cur
rent year are $52, 429, 1l2; and estimates
for the next year are $50, 31S,62
In regard to the strikes the secretary
says the movement of troops thus
necessitated was the largest which has
taken place since the close of the civil
war. Secretary Lamont earnestly
recommends legislation to establish
the battalion formation now adopted
by the armies of every other civilized
nation. To effect that change he
recommends return to the law of 1870,
fixing at 10000 the limit of the army.
BY the changes proposed the army will
be increased 20 per cent in efficiency,
16H in numbers and only 6 per cent in
cost of maintenance.

TO SHIP SUGAR BY SEA.
Western Refining Company Determines
to Fight.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Dec. After
Jan. l the Western Sugar Refinery
company will commence shipping raw
sugar from Honolulu to New York di-
rect by ships sailing around Cape Horn.
The refinery officials say the change in
the shipment route is not due to an
oversupply of sugar on the Pacific
coast. 1t is said that the real reason
is that an unusually large quantity is
to be shipped east from the Hawaiian
isle nds and that as the Southern Pacific
will not make a satisfactory rate on
overland shipments the refinery people
will fight the railroad by sea. Hither-
to all the Hawaiian sugar has been
brought to San Francisco for distribu-
ton. A number of local shippers will
suffer by the diversion of the freight.

MOVES TO CHINESE SHORES.
VIII Protect the American Minister with
Ample Force.

WASHINGTON, Dec Admiral Car
penter, in charge of the American fleet
in Chinese waters, has been heard from
by the navy department. The admiral
telegraphs he has left Nagasaki for
Taku, where he will be in position to
cooperate with the British fleet for
the protection of the foreigners IN
Pekin. Full instructions were cabled
to Admiral Carpenter and an intima-
ton given that he should have been
far from Nagasaki long ago. 1t is be-
lieved the legations in Pekin will be
enabled to unite for the common pro-
lection, but it is also considered in
official circles that the situation in the
Chinese capital is grave in the eX-
IRENE. Secretary Gresham now does
not deny that alarming dis
patches were received from Min
lister DENLY, but declares that
there has been nothing recent. 1t is
believed now a show of force by En-
gland and the United States at or near
Tien Tsin will have it's effect in Pekin.
1t is realized, however, that with the
defeat of the army is liable to come
the total collapse of the reigning
dynasty, in which case Pekin could not
escape the horrors of mob of infur-
lated and reckless heather, whose
hatred of everything foreign is no.
