State Departments Has Information That
the Emperor Is Not Dead
Washington, Oct. s.--Such iniorma-
tion as has reached the state depart-
ment respecting the reported death
and assassination of the emperor Of
China goes to entirely discredit the
theories that he has been poisoned or
that he is dead. 1t is not possible to
say positively just what sources OF in
formation are available, but 1t is known
that they are regarded as entirely Ie-
liable by the state department.
Moreover, the situation in China is
not believed by the department officials
to be as serious as represented. and a
signal mark Of confidence is the deci-
sion not to follow the course OF certain
European governments In sending at
this time a force Of soldiers or marines
TO Peking.

Germany Indifferent to the
Fate of Philippines.
a CHANGE IN PUBLIC OPINION
Emperor Williams Interest In Cuban
war Operations Tho Question
of American Meat.

Berlin, Oct. il.--There has been a
great change In German public opinion
on the subject OF the retention OF the
Philippine islands by the United
Statee. Tho feeling toward America
generally is much more favorable than
coupl. Of months ago. The news
from the United States that the govern
ment at Washington Is seriously con-
templating holding the Philippines, is
commented upon dispassionately in
the German press, and it is significant
that this week two papers OF suoh
standing as the Kolnische Zeitung and
the vossiche Zeitung have published
long letters from German merchants
settled in the Philippine islands, in
which American annexation Is strongly
advocated. A correspondent OF the
vossiche Zeitung even vigorously COM
bats Germany making any attempt to
secure portion Of the islands, citing
weighty reasons therefor.
Another significant fact this week
was that a delegation representing
German and German-Swiss firms in
the Philippine islands called at the
United States embassy to express hopes
that America would not relinquish
the islands and would not return them
to Spain, which the delegation claimed
would mean a recurrence Of revolution,
and the perpetuation OF commercial
troubles. The delegation also asked
il 1t might 20 to Paris and lay it's views
before the United States peace commits
sion. The United statets ambassador
here, Nj. White. advised the lelega-
tion not to do so.
Mr.. White does not anticipate Ger
man interference directly or indirectly,
even IL the United States insists upon
retaining the whole Of the archipelago.
Councillor Sclwarzenley. formerly
Of the German embassy at Washington,
declares that Germany does not dream
OF putting obstacles in Americas way.

Since then, the situation has changed
The charges against American meats

considerably modified the bill, which
is now much less stringent, but some
OF its provisions are still highly preju

II Is expected that the measure will b.

Logging Railways May be Buiit.
Astoria, Or, Oct. S.--Two extensive
schemes are now on foot to increase the
output Of logs. which find their way
into the Columbia. Both are in the
nature Of logging railways to tap the
timber belts on the north side Of the
river, and parties Of surveyors are said
to be now In the field, making the pre-
Iiminary surveys. One scheme 10 said
to be backed by the combined lumber
interests OF the Columbia river. Its
plan is said 70 be to construct q road
from the Columbia at point near
Hwaco to Shoalwater bay. thus tapping
one Of the richest spruce belts IN Vest
ern Washington. The other enterprise
is backed by a private logging COM
pany. and conteInplates building q line
from the head Of Deep river into the
Salmon creek country. Both Of these;
districts are filled with valuable tirn-
Der. much Of which is spruce, and the
building of these roads would make

STEAMER OVERTURNED.
Two Hundred and Fifty Passengers
Drowned Like Rats.


Seattle, Oct. 10.--The Nippon Yusen
Kaisha steamer Yamaguchi Maru ar.
rived today, with the largest cargo Of
Oriental goods ever brought to this
port. She left Yokohama September
81, and brings important Oriental news
up to that date.
Nearly $50 Chinese were drowned
like rats in trap September !, by the
overturning Of crowded Canton pass
age-boat in East river. The Chinese
were pilgrims returning from the Shrine
OF Hong Kung Chueshul, and had been
frightened away by small fire, which
they considered a bad omen. Nearly
all were crowded in the hold of the yes
sci, which was blown over by squall
without warning.
The American bark Comet was total
ly wrecked on PAX sa point, and four
Of her Chinese crew drowned. 1t was
at first believed that Captain and Mrs.
Browhurst had perished with them,
but news reached Yokohama shortly be-
fore the Yamaguchi sailed that they
