CRISIS In CHINA.
Hostile Movements In the Orient All
the Talk In Washington.
Tho British Foreign Onioe Looks Upon the
Eastern Situation No Grave Emer-
gency-France seizes u CHI
nese Island.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 80.-The rapid
movement of events In the far cast con-
tinues to be an absorbing topic in dip.
lomatic circles here, particularly nj
the embassies and legations Of the
powers which are aligning for an up.
parent struggle for Chinese territory.
There is but little talk Of the United
States rs possible factor In the con-
test, rs the recent understanding ut q
cabinet meeting is accepted as remov.
ing this government from the field
Of controversy. At the same time
IN eminent authority on interna'
tional affairs said yesterday that
situation might develop when
the United States would be called
upon to go much further than pro
tect American interests ut the treaty
ports in China. This situation would
come, he said, II tho scramble for Chi
nese territory went to the extent Of
the extinction Of China and the com
plete absorption Of the old empire BY
foreign nations. Such was the appar
ent drift Of the present movement, he
said, and IL 1t became reality, then 9
condition would arise similar to the
determination of Poland. Poland, hi
said, had established precedent In In
ternational affairs, and following that
precedent, II China was to be absorbed
then It was q question which thu
United States, In common with all tht
world, must take cognizance OF. I'm
til the final movement occurred, how
ever, it was plain that the United
States had Lo interest in the fencing
of European nations and Japan fol-
coaling stations and ports on the
Asiatic coast. In the meantime, how
ever, the diplomats are much concerned
in the movements OF their respective
governments.
PACIFIC STEAMERS REQUIsITIoNED.
LONDON, Dec. 80. According to Z
special dispatch from Shanghai, tn,
British admiralty has requisitionet
three of the Empress steamships, be
longing to the Canadian Pacific Rail
way company. The three vessels
called into use by the admiralty arr
the swiftest craft on the Pacific
They are the Empress of China
the Empress of Japan and tho
Empress of India. Each Is sup
Piled with formidable armamen
for use in case Of emergency. They
are owned by the British government
and used by the Pacific RAILWAY com
pany subject to demand. The requisi
ton proves clearly that the foreign OF
fee looks upon the situation in thu
east as an emergency Of the graves
character. A dispatch from Pekir
says: The proposed arrangement for
Russian guaranteed four per cent loar
of lOO, 900, 600 taels is not yet ratified
The situation is disastrous and the only
hope is that England will render finan
cial help, as otherwise war is the only
alternative.
A dispatch to the Daily Mail froH
Singapore confirms the report o
the seizure of Hal Nan island b.
the French. The island is off thu
coast of Chat and separates thu
Gulf of Tonquin from the Chin'
sea. 1t has an estimated area of la,

or How Large Business was Built Up
In Two Months.
A practical illustration of the
great benefits of the BULLETINS
advertising columns is furnished
in the case of Fl. Jeffs, the Fort
street barber.
Two months ago Mr.. Jeffs open
ed a barber shop on Fort street
near the works of Honolulu Car
riage Mandatory. 1t was an I'M
pretentions place With one chair.
For a few days Jeffs waited for
customers, bat few came. Apprised
of the value of the BULLETIN as
advertising medium, it being the
Peoples Paper, Mr.. Jeffs inserted
the following adlet in this Co
lumns:
WANTED---Soo Men to get Shaved for IS cents, at
w ot9ts Fort street, opposite the Club Stables.
II. JEFFS, Proprietor,
From the first appearance Of the
adlet Mr.. Jetfs business rapidly
increased. What is the result I?
Today he has one of the neatest
baber shops in the city. He has
two modern chairs and employs q
first class barber. He has now
coming from San Francisco a
third chair and when it arrives he
will employ a third barber.
Mr.. Jeffs attributes his success
to the BULLETIN, He pay $3.50 a
month for the adlet.
There is a moral attached to
this remarkable story of business
advancement. 1t is SO plain that
all who run may read.

He Struck it Rich,

A San Antonio correspondent sage:
IS. f. WINSTON, formerly of this city,
but now business man of Casas Gran
des, state of Chihuahua, Mex, arrived
here today, and reports that the excite
meut in that part of Mexico over the
richness of the Yaqui gold fields is
grOe ing. He states that there is q
big exodus of prospectors for Casas
Grandes to the, New Ell Dorado, the
former place being. the principal out
fitting poiot for the fortune seekers.
He gives one insta,ce of an American
prospectOr, named Robert Boiler, who
went into the Yaqni country imme-
diately after the treaty of peace was
signed with the Yaqui Indians, year
or more ago, and came out few days
ago with $50, 600 worth of gold dust.
Boilers CAIN is located on small
tributary Of the Yaqui river, almost
due west of Casas Grandes. Mr.
WinslOw claims that there is no ques-
ton of the great rich ness of the Yaqui
district. but says that many prospec-
tors have made mistake and met
with disappointment because the Y
sought TO find gold along the lower
course of the Yaqui river. He SAYS
that the real placer country is along
the upper part of the stream, and its
mountain tributary is not far from the
boundary line between the state of
Chi auahua and Sonora"
