Yokohama, via Victoria, 3. c., Nov. 10.
The general impression that a close I'M
Outstanding now exists between China

the fact that Kang Yu Wei, leader of the
Chinese reform party, who, at the time
of the coup d'etat fed from the wrath
Of the empress dowager, is now, on his
return from America, refused an asylum
here. Arriving on October % by the En-
press, he was not permitted to land.
When the steamer reached Kobe, how
ever. it appearing that If he was obliged
to stay on board he would have 10 pro-
coed TO Shanghai, where complications
were to be feared he was allowed under
police escort. to go by rail TO a port on
the inland sea. where he could take pass
age direct to Hong Kong. His arrival at
the latter place is reported. The opposi-
ton papers make much Of the incident,
to the discredit Of the japanese govern
ment.

Washington Nov. 1.-THE indications
are decidedly against any re-opening in
the immediate future of negotiations lok-
ing to a permanent adjustment Of the
Alaskan boundary question. 1t can be
stated positively that there have been alb

WINGED itself that there is little chance
of securing the approval of the senate to
any permanent treaty defining the bound
airy line which would secure the adhesion
Of Canada, and it is feared that even a
moderate proposition looking towards a
compromise could not be framed that
would receive the approval of both par
ties. This is believed 20 be true only
of the present time. The recent extra
ordinary development Of the Cape Nome
gold fields at the expense of tn popula-
ton of the Klondike may possibly make
the question easier OF adjustment in the
future by diminishing the value Of the
issues between the two countries. once
the Klondike is relegated TO its former
condition and the incentive to reach it
from the sea is removed. it is felt there
will be diminished interest on the part
OF Canada its claims 10 a seaport.

BEAR VERSUS SHARK
Almost a Naval Clash Recent
ly at Port Arthur
WARSHIP is REPORTED
At Masampo to Enforce Rus
Sia'S Demands of Korea.

Vancouver, Nov 16.-It is evident from
the tone Of japanese and China papers
just recorded that the relations between
Japan and Russia are far from favorable.
An indication is the statement, emanat-
ing from Shanghai, that the Russian gov
ernmest has protested to the Chinese gov
eminent against Chinese students being
sent to Japan, also against the engage
ment of Mr.. Yano as advisor to the Chi
nese goversment and against japanese Of
ficers being engaged to train the Chinese
army.
The latest development, just prior to the
sailing of the Empress, was the report
that a. Russian warship arrived at Ma
sampo to enforce Russian demands. A
conservative statement that of the Chi
nese Gazette follows: 1.-The Nippon OBJ
serves RUssia's proceedings in Korea with
considerable uneasiness. Concessions Sc
cured in connection with whale fisheries
acquisition of lease Of Ulung islasd, pur-
chase of land at Fusan, and apparently
determined attempts to procure property
at Masampo, all these incidents constitute,
in our contemporary opinion, valid evil
desce that the great northern power Is
pushing for another port in southern
seas"
Victoria, B. c., Nov. 16-According to
advices from the Orient brought by the
steamship IMPRESS of China, the difficulty
arising out of the Masampo affair is evil
IDENTIFY far from adjustmest. AS Ma
sampo lies in a commanding position be-
tween Flu San and Tsushima and as it IS
of immense Importance from strategical
poin of view, Russia is anxious to gain
possessios of it to use as naval base
connecting Vladivostock and Port Arthur.
PriEor to this Masampo affair, however,
It was said that difficulties which might
cause war between Russia and Japan ex-
listed and many southerners living in Port
Arthur and Chez Foo hastily removed to
Shanghai for safety. The story is sow told
of almost a breach on an occasion when
two japanese cruisers in the gulf of Pc
chill unexpectedly appeared before Port
Arthur. The Russian signal officers at
the outer station signalled that the port
was closed to foreign ships of war. Disre-
garding or misunderstanding this signal.
however, the two Japanese cruisers
steamed straight into the harbor. They
were intercepted, however. by a Russian
steam launch having on board an official
who warned the Japanese captains that
the forts would fire os the cruisers if they
were not Immediately withdrawn. This
advice was taken, it is said, by the Jap
anese commander, but with very bad
grace.
c. P. Greenhouse, who was consul gem
eral of the United States to Kangawa,
Japan from 1886 to 1889, died at Scout, Oc-
tober 21. At the time of his death Mr..
! Greathouse was advisor to the Korean
government, a position he had held with
out isterruption during his ten years res
idence in Korea. The emperor of Korea
paid all funeral expenses and ordered an
escort Of 200 soldiers to attend the obse-
quies. Mr.. Greathouse was the author of
+! a book on Korean folklore. 49,.
