larged, in order that competition of
other companies may be met.
Another recommendation favored in
.slring members for any sum in in
tegral parts of $500 up to $4,000, instead
of merely for $500 or $1,000, as at
present.

ASKS AID OF JAPAN,
China's Desire to Get Germany Out
of Shan Tung.

OF Shan Tung.
Tacoma, Wash, May 1S.-Mail ad-
vices by the Oriental liner Victoria,
say:
Nearly all the Toxic journals give
publicity to q rumor, apparently ema-
mating from Shanghai, to the effect
that China has approached the Japan
ese government with request for aid
to get Germany out of Shan Tung. The
suggestion is that the Peking authori-
ties have at last been reused to the
imminence of the dangers threatening
the Chinese empire, and TO the certain
ty of its disruption unless some stop
is put to the INSCRIPTIONS demands
now constantly preferred by western
states. Germany being regarded as the
leader in the game of aggression, and
Shan Tung possessing special sanctity
in Chinese eyes as the birthplace uf
Confucius, there is a double reason for
the desire to get Germany out of the
field.
The following dispatch has been re-
ceived by local mandarins from Chin
anfu, the provincial capital of Shan
Tung:
"a large force of Germans went,
about ten days ago, to the village of
Kuochiachuang, in the Lanshan hills.
near klao Chou, ana 1orclDly eylcted

done, the Germans set fire to part of
the village and then left the place.

ously insulted certain Roman Catho-

taken up their quarters in the magis-
trate's yamen, declare that they will
not leave the city unless their demands
are fulfilled. 1t is stated by emissaries
returned from Tsintao that The Ger
mans are gathering a large force and
quantities of ammunition and food sup
plies in that place preparatory to a
general move upon Chinanfu. but this
report must be taken with all reserve.

Washington, May 1s.-War depart
ment officials expect that within two
months the Pacific transport fleet will
be on its way home from Manila with
the last of the volunteers. The entire
Pacific fleet is now being overhauled
and provisioned for the voyage to Ma
Mia and return. There will be no delay

man, Grant and Sheridan are under

lar troops to take the place of the vol
unteers..
Secretary Alger had a long confer
ence today with the heads of the staff
bureaus of the department regarding
arrangements for the return of the vol
unteers. Nearly every state has re-
quested that the regiments be returned
to the states whence they came. as the
people want to see them as organiza-
tions, instead of individuals. If this be
decided upon, while awaiting a lster
out they will be held in camp elmer at
San Francisco or at state camps, where
these exist.
Places of Muster Out
1t is expected that the Minnesota

racks. and the Washington troops to
the post near Seattle. 1t is asserted,
however. that the soldiers prefer to be
mustered out at San Francisco, as they
then will receive travel pay To their
homes and can make transportation
rates that will give them some extra
money
The government. however, has the
option of transporting them to the place
where it received them, and may de-
eide to follow that plan if, upon fur
ther investigation, it should be deemed
feasible
