Trouble in Chinn.

If the Chinese have really captured Cap
tain May. the Chief of Police of Hongkong
! there will be the British to pay, and to
pay well. China seems wholly resolved to
get herself carved up and distributed.
Only the other day there was report OF
real battle between the Chinese and the
Germans, on the territorial concession of
the latter. The situation is in every way
serious, especially as the foreign powers
are not likely to be patient in order to
prevent partition, If they can agree on
terms.
This country is almost alone in having
made no strenuous pressure for territorial
privileges. That does not increase Chi
mas respect for our prowess. as she is ac-
customed to bulldozing from every nation
that can muster fleet to menace her
coasts. Yet We have a better claim to a
voice in the settlement of Asiatic ques-
tions than some that are more aggressive.
The only proposition that has been made
in behalf of America is admitted to be rea-
sonable.
If the matter does reach the last stage
this country is not likely to remain indif-
ferent- One thing is sure, We shall insist
on having as good commercial terms as
anybody in any and every part of China.
To make our case clear, we can afford to
open the door TO trade in the Philippines
on the conditions that we shall demand in
Asia. The war in the archipelago being
virtually over and the Commission having
made some study Of the situation, the Gov
ernment will soon have to decide the COM
mercial policy there. To attempt to build
Chinese wall about it would be TO lose
more than we could gain. With the open
door there we can hold our own easily
enough in the islands, and can enforce an
open door in Asia without blush Of
shame. hf-s. si'-
At this moment 1t does not look as
though there would be any interference
with England II she should find It neces-
sary TO castigate the aggressive Cinnamon,
CT with Germany il she should exact in
demnity in new privileges for the attack
on her soldiers. The apparent meaning
of it all is a growing Indifference among
the powers as to the integrity of the En-
pire.

1t must puzzle the fair-minded person to

Another war in the East is imminent
and unless the Turk is repressed with an
iron hand by the great powers the horrors
of a Turkish war will be repeated. It is
possible that Bulgaria has stirred up
trouble for the Turks in Macedonia, but
the Ottomans always welcome every pre-

The feeling in Norway against Sweden
has reached the point of threatened as
sault. That the former has been making
war preparations is Il matter of general
knowledge. and there can be but one OBJ
ject. Sweden is powerless to make long
resistance, owing TO the state OF her de-
fences and the poor equipment of her army.
There is much reason to suspect it will end

Through the instructive opera of the
Pirates OF Penzance" the world has be-
come familiar with the affecting story of
Major General Stanley, who felt bound to
act in way to reflect credit upon the
buried ancestors" he had bought with his
estate and the medieval residence and
graveyard included in it. There is little
doubt that Senator Depew had the "Pi-
rates" in mind when he leased the man
sion which once was the home of Daniel
Webster, now deceased. The junior SEN
ator from New York is not lacking in i'm
agination, and nothing could be more nat
ural than that after settling down TO do
mestic life in the home and sleeping in the
bedroom formerly occupied by the great
orator and statesman, he should come to
regard the departed Daniel as 4 sort of po-
litical forebear. and feel a sense of added
responsibility in consequence. Senator De-
pew is a man TO rise TO the level of his op-
portunities. We shall expect him. hence
forward, to be as much like the great Web
ster as the dictionary of the same name is
like, the English language.

and went to Nevada. When the war
broke out he attempted to enlist in the
Utah organizations. from Springville,
but the quota being full, he Joined the
First Nevada cavalry, from which he
has just been mustered out after service
in the Philippines. This was his first
visit home in the six years.
Private Fuln1er was met at the train at
3:25 p. m. by several hundred people and
escorted to the city hall. The Springville
volunteers. G. A. R.. Indian war veter-
ans. the Maccabee band and numerous
citizens marched in the parade. The pub
lie schools were given holiday and
rade. Some attempt at decoration with
flags and bunting had been made by vari-
Gus business houses.
At the city hall Mr.. Fulmer made an
address, thanking Springville people for
their enthusiastic welcome and express
ing his joy at once more being home af-
ter his long absence. After an artillery

Judiciary Disclaims to Thomas
Sanders-Ejectment Damage Suit
Still On Trial.

According to decision rendered by
Judge Hiles yesterday the city of Salt
Lake cannot compel property owners to
set back their fences to the true prop
erty line. The decision was in the
three cases against John Dern. gran
tee from Agatha Conklin. Helen Thir-
kill and Fannie NJ Taylor. The mu-
nicipality commenced the actions eight
or nine years ago. but the various city
attorneys secured postponements of
trial, and only a couple of weeks ago
were the issues tried.
The citys complaint set up that de-
PENDANTS fences were trespassing upon
the west sidewalk for distances vary
ing from six to eight feet on ] street,
between South Temple and First. The
defense pleaded possession and occu-
pancy of the sidewalk adverse to the
city for a score or more of years.
Judge Hiles yesterday decided the
issues in favor of the defendants.
