RUDYARD KIPLING.
The Patient Will Soon be Able to
Sit UP.

NEW YORK, March 14-Rudyard
Kipling was feeling very we'll tonight
and asked Mr.. Doubleday a number of
questions. During the conversation Mr..
Doubleday happened to mention the
death watch which the reporters had
kept on Mr.. Kipling. using their own
expression. The poet was interested at
once, and asked for all details.
By the way" continued Mr. Double
day, They are a little bit slack now
that you are getting better Can't you
do something to- stir up a little news for
them?'
Mr.. kipling was silent for some mo-
ments, and then replied: "I can't think
OF anything unless to go through every
thing again. You can depend upon it 1
have no wish to do that"
Since his illness was first made public
more than 500 messages of sympathy
and expressions of good cheer have
been received by Mr.. Kipling~ Many of
the communications are in verse. Mr..
Kipling will not consent to the publi-
cation of any of these letters. As might
be expected, some of the verses are
hardly classical, and some are very
crude But they are all messages from
honest hearted people, according to Mr.
kipling's ideas, and as such they will
be treated.
DR.. Durham remains in constant at
tendance at Mr.. Kipling's side and Dr.
Janeway makes one call each day.
Dr. Durham tonight thought he
would permit the sick man to sit up in
two or three days, if the improvement
continues.

Advices From Most of the Interior
Counties Of an Encouraging
Tenor, the Rain Coming at a
Critical Period for the Ensur-
ing of a Large Grain Yield
Snow Falling in Mountain
Regions.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 14.-Gloom
and dependency, which, on account of
the drought, have been the predomi-
nant characteristics of business men
and farmer alike, have disappeared
with the rain which has been falling
generally over Northern and Central
California since sunrise this morning.
The storm is due at Tehachapl TO-
night, and if Southern California does
not receive a good wetting tomorrow
it will be because the Weather Bureau
has misunderstood the indications.
In the mountain regions it is showing
this evening at those points where II
is not raining heavily. Tuolumne
County has had a soaker to-day, the
total precipitation measuring an inch.
Similar conditions are reported from
other mining sections, which have now
received sufficient rain for placer min
ing operations.
From most of the interior counties
adyices received are of a most encour-
aging tenor. The present rain has come
at critical period for the ensuring OF

in few counties, was not beyond the

the indications that the downpour may

For the most part the fruit sections

more than anything else to restore the

BRILLIANT STROKE OF DIPLOMACY
AMERICAN ANSWER TO ITALY
ON CHINESE PROBLEM.
Most Important Development in
the Far Eastern Question Aris-
ing in Recent Days.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE En-
bassadorS and Ministers at Washington
representing those Powers having large
interests IN China have communicated
to their Foreign Offices the recent an
swer of the United States to italy to
the effect that the United States would
maintain an attitude of disinterested-
ness in reference to the Italian designs
ON San Mum Bay. Some of the diplo-
mats have advised their Governments
that they regarded the announcement
of the United States attitude as of
supreme Importance in the Chinese sit
uation. The reasons for this are
summed up by a prominent member of
the diplomatic corps, representing one
of the Powers of Europe, as follows:
THE answer of the United States to
Italy is a markably brilliant stroke
of diplomacy. The natural inclination
of the United States Government would
have been to favor the move Of Italy
for the opening of San Mum Bay, which
would give another port to the grow
ing American trade in China. But as
this would have excited the animosity
of China, your Government decided
upon a course of disinterested neutra-
lity. This gives no offense to China,
and at the same time Italy and the
world at large take notice that the
United States, will interpose no obstacle
in the acquisition of San Nun Bay or
other Chinese ports. 1t is most i'm
portant to all the Powers to know that
the United States has no power to in
terfere in behalf of China, even to the
extent of exerting her moral influence
toward continuing China's integrity.
For that reason I look upon the Amer
lean answer to Italy as the most i'm
portant development in the Chinese Sit
uation that has arisen in recent days,
and I think it will be so accepted in
all the Foreign Offices"
The diplomat official further pointed
out that if Italy secured San Nun Bay
from China, it would prove a port of
inestimable value to the United States
interests in the Philippines. 1t is one
of the southerly ports of China, and
one of the closest for big trade to and
from Manila.
The Chinese authorities We're at first
inclined to accept the answer OF the
United States to Italy as rather favor
able to China. But the more it is turned
over the more it appears indirectly to
favor Italy, as it gives her assurance
that her hands will be free in execut-
ing the move on San Nun Bay.
