LONDON, Dec. 2O--Telegrams from
all of the continental capitals
show that Russia's step at Port
Arthur is regarded as tantamount to q
permanent occupation and a reply to
Germany's action.
A we'll informed st. Petersburg cores
pondent says that there was no agree
ment between Russia and Germany, and
the latter simply warned Russia when
the occupation of Kiao Chau was already
decided upon.
The Novoe Vremya pretends that ia
pan has no cause for complaint, "since
China Is only giving the same shelter to
Russian ships as Japan had hitherto So
kindly afforded
This view is not held in Berlin, where
the papers are already talking Of the
possibility of Prince Henry having to
shake his mailed fist at Japan, which is
supposed to be secretly backed up by
England. Some of the Berlin papers ex-
press anxiety, but most of them welcome
the news from Port Arthur, as justifying
the German position at Kiao Chau, If not
as actual evidence that Russia and Ger
many are acting together. Curiously
enough Emperor William visited the
Russian ambassador Friday night on his
return from Kiel, ostensibly to congrat-
ulate him on the name-day Of Emperor
Nicholas. The visit lasted one hour.
There is no doubt now that the emperor
and ambassador discussed Chinese af-
fairs.
The Paris papers, without pretending
to be deceived by Russia's innocent ex-
plantations. are pleased with the action
of the ally of France.
The burden of Viennese comment is:
What Will England Do?"
The British fleet now in Chinese waters
consists of one iron-clad, nine cruisers
sand eighteen smaller men-of-war. -
The correspondent Of the Times at
Peking says: China approved of the
Russian fleet wintering at Port Arthur
being persuaded that this action is taken
in the interest of China and necessitated
by the German occupation of Kiao Chau.
A dispatch to the Times from Shanghai
says the occupation of Port Arthur by
Russia cannot fail to provoke popular in
dignation in Japan, where public opinion
Is already excited over the Kiao Chau
affair.
According to the dispatch to the Daily
Mail from Shanghai. the high officials of
the Chinese court have advised the en-
peror, in view of further complications,
to remove the court to Nankjng (the

is reported that overtures have been
made to England to exercise protection
over the Yang-Tse. valley and the west
river, and that numerous rumors are
current regarding the activity of the
British squadron in Chinese waters.
The Times. commenting editorially
this morning on the situation in China,
says: Instead of the kaisers mailed
fist, we have Russia's velvet glove; but
the grasp is not less vigorous and un-
yielding. Great Britain ought now
courteously to invite China to extend the

SEATTLE, Wash, Dec. 19.-Jack Dali

1.-THE proposition to use reindeer does
not strike me as being the right thing.
Horses can be used to much better ad-
vantage. Instead of the reindeer. the
department ought to get together
large number of hardy horses and suf-
ficient food should be taken along to
feed them. They can do much better
work than reindeer. / would use sleds
for carrying the food for the men and
provender for the horses. To handle q
reindeer expedition successfully it would
be necessary to have relay stations esz
tablished a days journey apart, with
food for the animals at these stations" "
Mr.. Dalton, in speaking of the best
route by which to take the relief, said
that he would go over the Chilkoot pass
and then down the lakes and the Yukon
