THERE MAY BE NEW CAPITAL.

AmbassadOrs,

The prediction is already made In
certain highly influential quarters
that none of the civilized powers OF
the world will ever again send am
bassadors to Peking. The situation
is now far enough advanced to make
it plain that II the Chinese empire Is
to maintain its integrity 1t must be
at the cost OF such concessions to
other nations as shall form absolute
guarantees against outrageous and
sudden treachery On the part of the
Chinese government. There are very
few guarantees that China can give
which the rest OF the world would
accept as worth anything, but first
among these Is the removal OF the
capital to a point where the powers
holding diplomatic relations with
China can reach and protect their
Representatives readily and effective
ly. They cannot take the chanceD
again OF q siege of the legations in the
interior OF China.
The essential condition 10 that the
capital of China shall be within reach
OF the naval forces of other nations.
This would be hard and intolei able
condition to exact Of power holding
equality in the international family.
But China 10 not such a power and
cannot be treated as snch. She will
have 70 accept the position in which
her late eccentricity has placed her
and yield to the demands for security
exncted' by those with which she az
sociates.

Notwithstanding the vigorous eff

Notwithstanding the vigorous ef-
forts OF the bears of the copper mar
ket on both sides OF the water, there
has been but a slight depression in
the price of copper for the past few
months, and the recovery has been
swift. The fact is that the enormous
demand is eating into the reserve es
we'll as consuming the supply. The
United States last year produced
more than one-half OF the world 3
supply of copper-the worlds pro-
duct being 463. 403 tons. of which the
United States produced 259, 5l8 tons.
While the increase in prod uction is
great, toe foreign demand has in
creased enormously, and copper will
retain its strength. and even an ad
vance should not cause surprise.

RIOTS IN PoRT TO RICO.
street Fight Between Federals and
Republicans-Three Men and
- .E Woman Slain.

San Juan, Oct. 9.-Four persons-one
Of them a womanwe killed in po-
litical street riot in Guayamo, which
lasted all Sunday night. The rioting
started in cafe when mem Der of the
federal party shot and severely wound
ed republican. Several of the latter's
party friends tried to lynch the federal,
but were prevented by eight. Ameri-
cans. Federals from Arroyo hastened
to reinforce the federals in Guayamo
and a bloody street fight followed.
Three men and woman were killed,
while 20 others, including several po-
icemen, were wounded. Several of
these will die.
Armed bands paraded the streets
this morning, shooting and shout
ing and terrorizing the town. The
whole district is arming and the po-
lice force is utterly unable to cope with
the rioters. The parties are about
equally divided in numbers. Leaders
OF the republicans are urging their fol-
lowers not to engage in. roting, but
the federals are determined to avenge
the San Juan affair and further blood
shed is expected. Animosity between
:federals and republicans is increasing
as the time for the election approaches,
and all over the island are evidences
that trouble may break out at any
moment.

SIGNS OF FRAUD.
Mysterious Death Develops Indica-
tions of Conspiracy Against Life
Insurance AasOciatiOns.

Chicago, Oct. 8.-With insurance
upon her life amounting to $4,000,
Marie Defenbach died August rs in a
room at 80 La Sale avenue alone and
under conditions which the police be-
lieve indicate gigantic swindle upon
insurance companies, if they do not
point to murder. Charges of con-
spiracy, back of which are allied in
situations of murder, are lodged
against three men, two of whom are
already in custody. These men will
have to answer allegations of careful
ly-laid plot to swindle an insurance
company and two insurance societies
"a pot which, it is said, progressed
with the growth of fear into the actual
death, by poison, it is thought. of the
insured person. According to the the
ory on which the prosecution will pro-
ceed the dead person. young woman
OF Chicago, was originally one of the
quartette of conspirators. She had ex-
pected that her death was to be feigned,
and that another dead body was to play
the passive role Of her corpse; instead
of that, real death came to her.
