Play in China
BY Occupying Port Arthur. the most important
Of Chinese Ports.

London, Dec. 20.-The correspondent
of the Times, at Pekin, says: China
approves of the Russian fleet winterinG
at Port Arthur, being persuaded that
this action is taken in the interests OF
China and necessitated by the German
occupation of kiao Chau."
A dispatch to the Times from Shang-
hal, says the occupation of Port Arthur
(by Russia) cannot fail to provoke
popular Indignation in Japan, where
public opinion is already excited over
the Kiao Chau affair.
According to a dispatch to the Daily
Mail, from Shanghai. the high officials
of the Chinese court have advised the
Emperor, in view OF farther compl-
cations, to remove the court to Nam
king. the southern capital. The dis
patch says it is reported there that
overtures have been made to England
to exercise protection over the Yang
Use valley and to West River and that
numerous rumors are current regard

FALL RIVER MILLS DlMD. Hos.
the List lust Published Shows Large Failing
on from Last Year.

Fall River, Mass, Dec. 19-The an
nual dividend list of the Fall River
mills has been issued from the ofi1ce OF
G. M. Haffards & Co., and furnishes
striking argument from their stand-
point in favor Of the contention of the
manufacturers that business must be
conducted on lower basis.
AS against three mills which did not
pay dividends in 1896, eleven have
passed. this year. and that paid by the
Anawan Manufacturing Co. is the re-
suit of a sale Of real estate, and does
not properly represent earnings. The
list shows an increase of 100000 In
capital invested. the new Arkwright
mill being included in the list although
cotton has not yet been put IN. This
leaves the total capital invested upon
which to base the amount of dividends
paid at the same figure as one year
ago, 1922, 933, 900.
In addition to the Anawan, Fall
River Mandatory and Barnaby Cling
ham mill. which has not paid dividends
for some time, the Conaccut, Globe
Yarn, Laurel Lake, MetacOmet, Pocas-
set, Robson, 'Slade, Weetamoe and
Kerr Thread have paid their stockhold-
ers nothing during the past year. The
earnings of the mills as represented by
the amount paid out in dividends. were
$776,300 against $1.36S,S75 in 1896, and
81, ZAP, 625 in 1895. This is an average on
the total capital invested Of 1888 plus
per cent. against sos per cent. in 1896
and SIS per cent. in 1895.
The percentage would be much
smaller were it not for the Bourne.
which has paid regular monthly div
idend of l per cent. and an additional
dividend of per cent. in August. This
mill is situated just across the state
line in Rhode Island and is subject to
the labor laws of the latter state,
though deriving all the benefits of the
Tall River market 1t also gains
through the lower tax rate to which
the property is subjected.
