England and Chinese.

London, June 1.-THE Chinese situa-
ton, which at the beginning of last week
was merely small cloud on the interna-
tlonal horizon, now oyershadows every
other topic. England, according to most
authorities, save those who control her
foreign policy, is face to face with crisis
i'll far eastern affairs, which, though it
may not result in any immediate partition
of China, must determine the part that
England shall play when the partition
eventually occurs. That such an emer-
gency should have arisen at moment
when England is least able to utilize it,
when almost all her land forces are 5000
miles from home, and when there is a
paramount necessity for keeping an extra
strong fleet in European waters, is de-
plored by all shades of statesmen and
politicians.
Lord Salisbury stands almost alone
amidst his own party in believing that the
results of the Boxer outbreak will be
neither serious nor permanent.

New York, June IA special from
Washington says:
1t is the understanding of the war de-
partment that Major General Macarthur
has sent officers of the army to various
points in China under instructions to inter
cept filibustering expeditions. The infor-
nation will at once be communicated to
the naval authorities, who will take meas
ures for the capture of expeditions. In
addition to looking out for the eXpedi-
tons it is expected the officers in China
will report upon the situation SO as to
keep the authorities advised OF the feel
ing among the Chinese.

Election in Ii. G.

Vancouver, B. c., June l0.-The Martin
government has been overwhelmingly de-
feated as a result of recent election for
members of the provincial parliament.
The legislature is composed of 80 mem
bers and at midnight returns have been
received from 80 constituencies, indicating
the election of % opposition and only
seven straight supporters of the govern
ment. 4-.e three seats which are still in
doubt will probably return opposition mem
bers. Premier Martin does not acknoWl-
edge an absolute defeat, but claims his
abIlity to induce half dozen members
elect counted among the opposition to sup
port his government upon a vote of want
OF confidence in the house.
The straight conservatives will have the
strongest individual following, having
elected Is members. Martin, the premier,
is elected in Vancouver, as is also Smith

To Rob the Mails.

Seattle, June ll.-Attaches of the Unit.
ed States attorneys and marshal's office
have unearthed what they believed to be
a systematic plan to rob the United States
mails between this city and Everett. They
have arrested a man who gave his name
as A. I. Fraser, and found on his person
$4l0O in Tacoma bank checks, which had
been cashed by local banks in Everett and
had been forwarded by mail over the
Great Northern railway to Tacoma for col
lection. Absolute proof has been obtained
that the checks went into the United
States mails at Everett, and were deposited
in government mail pouches and delivered
aboard the mail cars.
Fraser, when arraigned before a United
States commissioner in this city, main
tanned he had found the checks near the
railroad track at Everett, and that his
only connection with the case was in an
attempt to Obain a reward from the banks.
His arrest was the result of letters which
he wrote the Everett banks demanding
that they provide him with a ticket to
Cape Nome for the return OF the vouchers.
He called at the postotiice in this city
for the responses, and was arrested by a
United States marshal. Government Of
ficials believe that they have conclusive
evidence that employees of the railway mail
service are connected with the attempted
steal. Further developments are looked
for soon.

At Paris Exposition.

Paris, June 1.-THE golden harvest of
the exposition has at last begun. Twice
last week the number of visitors exceed
ed half Il million, which surpasses the fig
.ures of the 1889 exposition at similar
period. 1t is estimated that over S,000-
900 people have now passed the turnstiles.
The juries have begun their tasks, and
the American representatives in each
group are hard at work seeking honors
for United States exhibits.
Parisians who so long have revealed in
the cabarets representing DEATH heaven
and hell, which almost every visitor con-
siders a part of the sights of Paris, are
now offered another morbid attraction in
the shape of a drama written and per-
formed by a couple of Parisians who have
Just been released after serving terms of
imprisonment for attempted murder. One
is an actress who was convicted of attempt
ing to dispose of a rival by diet of pins
concealed in pudding. Inc other was
the heroine of cause celebre last year.
She had tried to poison her husband with
strychnine, and on conviction attempted
to commit suicide by driving a hat pin
through ner heart. The women made ac-
quaintance with each other while in the
prison of ST. lazare by rappings on the
wall dividing their cell. On their re-
lease recently they wrote a play, which is
very sensational, and which will shortly
be produced at one of the small theaters
within the exposition grounds.
