BERLIN. Aug. H.--The possibility of 8
clashing OF international interests in
China Ii still generally discussed. The
Berliner Posts reference TO the landing
OF the British at Shanghai, and TO Rus
sia's action at Nithwan--particularly to
the latter-has caused some apprehension
among other powers, especially in Japan
That would not be strange" says The
Post, IF other powers did likewise, and
II would cause serious complication Of
the situation II not only Great Britain,
but others, took occasion, from Russia =
action, to adopt steps of far-reaching i'm
portance for the future"
The Cologne Gazette, evidently having
in mind Count Won Waldersee's speech AT
Hanover when bidding farewell to the
officers OF the Tenth army corps, explains
Germany's comprehensive mobilization as
referring wholly TO China, and says:
Germany has been most deeply wound
ed, and must therefore take steps In ac-
cordance with her international rank. the
dignity of the empire and the present ne
cessity of the case"

Attack on the Government.

: tiers under consideration. Smith Curtis.
the member from Rossland. also got after
the government and chided them with
being unable to meet opposition argu-
ments. but with carrying their purpose
by brute majority. This expression
awakened a storm OF resentment and the
Rossland member withdrew 1t.
The immediate cause OF his remarks was
the persistency Of the government IN re-
fusing to accept a number OF amendments
which Curtis wished to have introduced
to railway charters. looking to ultimate
ownership by the government. He was
unsuccessful, however, with all OF his
amendments some being defeated and the
remainder ruled out of order.
Railroad Charter Refused.
In the railway committee this morning
the application of Mike King for a char
ter for an opposition road to the White
Pass railway to run from Dyea to Bennett,
was defeated on the casting vote of Chair
man Pooiey. The government announced
that IL was opposed to granting any more
charters In districts where the boundary
was in dispute. and the view prevailed.
