BEGINS To LOOK WARL|kE
Japan to Send a Big Fleet Into
Chinese Waters.
IT WILL SAIL WITHIN 4 WEEK
The Mil<ado's Government Acting in
Entire Concord With Great Brit
ain-Russia's Threatening Atti-
tude Toward China Giving Cause
for Alarm.

London. Jan 2l-The latest aspect
of the far Eastern crisis is grave and
warlike Re-enforcements of the
British and French fleets in Chinese
waters are under orders to sail and
today comes news from Yokohama
that a japanese fleet of nine ships will
sail for the Chinese coast Within six
days after being inspected by the Mi
kado in the same solemn fashion as
the German Emperor did with his lit
tie expedition.
The supposed destination of the Jap
anese fleet is Wei-Hai- Wei The threat
ening attitude of Russia toward Chi
ma is the immediate cause of the crisis
The competition of Great Britain
and the Car for ascendency in Chi
nese affairs has reached an issue which
will either be decided peacefully with
in a few days or result in immediate
war. There is high authority for say
ing that Japan is acting in the fullest
concord with Great Britain in the
present developments.
The following version of the recent
financial moves of China receives gen.
eral credence in city circles: Until last
Friday the negotiations with the Lon
don and Berlin banks for the proposed
loan of e16 GOO. 900 proceeded favorably
under the moral support of the British
and German governments. The Ger
man government had no idea of guar
anteeing or o-guaranteeiug the loan
during these negotiations.
Lord Salisbury, however, finding on
Friday that Russia was undermining
the other powers at Pekin, took mat
ters into his own hands and offered
China a loan of G12.009, 900 upon the
terms already stated inathese dispa itch
es. The negotiating banks were not
consulted in the matter and practical
ly knew nothing of Lord Saisbury's
action until Monday. ~
The terms of the loan were that it
should be issued at par, to run fifty
years the service TO be at per cent
annually, net, including "a sinking fund
The. conditions were. first, the opening
of three treaty ports. Talienwan. Sain-
gin, in the Human province and Nan
Ming thereby increasing the customs
revenue; second, a declaration that no
portion of the Yangtse Kiang Valley
should be alienated to another power,
and third, the right to extend the Bur
nah railroad through Yunnan. In the
event of default China should place
certain revenues under the control of
the imperial Chinese customs.

The Senate yesterday came to an
understanding on the Teller resolu-
ton. Mr. Allison suggested that there
might be some amendments offered
and after some discussion it was
agreed that the vote on the resolution
and all amendments should be taken
Thursday next, before adjournment.
Mr.. Stewart gave notice that he would
address the Senate today on the
resolution and Mr., Turpie that he
would speak Monday.
Senator Quay of Pennsylvania stated
in the Senate today, in the shape of
personal explanation, that he had yot-
ed yesterday for consideration of the
resolution because he thought that it
was for the benefit of the country and
it would be for the benefit of the Re
now.
The vote yesterday on the res
olution was so Overwhelmingly in
favor of silver that there does
not seem To be any doubt that
it viii pass in that body by prac-
tically the same figures. With this
prospect in view some of the Republi-
can leaders in the House are seriously
of the opinion that it will be a waste
of time to press any financial bill in
that body this session and the chances
now are that the whole matter viii be
dropped. In spite of his persistency
and the aid given him by the Monetary
Commission Secretary Gage does not
appear TO have made much of an inn
preston on the Republican members of
the House Banking and Currency Com
mittee, and they are not inclined to
adopt his plan. The Republicans on
this committee are evenly divided
among themselves, some wanting to
retire the greenbacks. and others be-
ing furiously opposed TO the PROPOSE
ton The latter class declare that
anything looking to the contraction Of
the currency would he decidedly dis
to the people Of the West.
Ii is common talk here that Secretary
Gage has been fatty informed by many
of the Republicans in Congress that
his plan has no show whatever, and
that he ought to stop pressing the
question. But. it is said, the Secre-
tary clings to the belief that if the
House sustains him the Republicans
win be benefited in the coming cam
paisn, and will assuredly control both
branches of the next Congress.

CHINESE BARRED IN SIBERIA.
Immigration stopped and Another
Eastern Complication Created.

st. Louis. Mo. Jan. 21.-The Globe
Democrats special cable from Berlin
SAYS: In view Of the resentment man
ifested by the Pekin government
against al those foreign powers which
have enacted laws against Chinese i'm
migration it is singtl;1lly unfortunate
from a Russian point OF view that the
Muscoyite authorities should just at
this junctUre be forced in self-defcnse
II take very drastic steps to put a
stop TO the continued invasion of Chi
nese into Siberia.
The Chinese for months past have
been crossing the Russian frontier in
thousands. settling all along both
sides of the railway. whether completed
or in course of construction. The imi-
grants show themselves unruIv and
disinclned to WELD that obedience to
the authority which the latter re-
ceive from the Russian population in
Siberia. who are mostly either exiles
or peasan nts. and the result is that
many sanguinaTy conflicts have oc-
CURED. The Russian authorities in
Siberia are greatly alarmed by the sit
uation and il is only after the most Sc
rious delibeTation on the part of the
minister OF public works and the rail-
roads. the minister Of agriculture, the
minister Of state domains and the min
lister Of foreign affairs at St Peters
burg. that The regulations putting
stop to Chinese Immigration into ST.
IBERIA have been determined upon.
The issue just now is likely TO
strengthen the English position at Pc
kin and 10 lead the Chinese govern
ment to still more withdraw from the
engagements which it had with Rus
sia at the time of the war with Japan.
