Property.
Vancouver, B. C., June 29.-Oriental
advices by the Empress of China are
to the effect that the export of rice
from Wuhu has been suddenly inter-
dicted by the Viceroy of Marking, act
ing upon instructions from Pekin, on
the ground that China is on the eve of
war. Another reason given is that
the requirements of the people within
the Yang-tse region do n OF permit any
export of grain.
Since the introduction of the trolley
into Korea, several children have been
run over and killed in Seoul. The
people, to the number of several hun
dred burned one car and smashed
another. The japanese and European
engineers narrowly escaped death.
The ignorant people attribute the
drought which has continued for some
time to the construction of the electric

Troops to Philippines.
Washington, July 1.-The FIST vol
unteers to be raised for service in tn 9
philippines win be those for the skel-
ston regiments now being formed by
Gen. Otis. II is not believed there will
be the least difficulty in obtaining
these men.
1t is probable that some time will
elapse before the troo y Of the pro-
visional army are sent to Manila. but
meanwhile they will be drilled and
taught craftsmanship in camp. 1t is
estimated that three months are re-
quired TO make soldiers of recruits.
The officers of the War department
think that a number Of volunteers now
coming home will desire to return TO
the Philippines for short service after
they have an opportunity to see home
and friends. They are regarded as the
most desirable for the regiments being
organized by General Otis.
1t is learned at the war department
that there is no rush to get the volun-
teers TO General Otis at the present
time. The rainy season having set in,
tits now believed these troops will not
be needed for service except to relieve
those who have been on active duty.
The transport service is said to be
sufficient, though ships may be char
tered temporarily If needed. The an
nouncement that a portion Of the pro-
visional army was to be raised has
caused swarm of politicians to be
sent to the war department by those
who are seeking commissions in the

terrible engine of war are being made

A shell of this nature, charged with
an explosive equal to melinite or dyna-

machine will be decreased leo times,
