CHINESE AROUSED.


WASHINGTON, Nov. Fit is under
stood that the Chinese authorities at Pc
king have been profoundly aroused by
some of the executions of Chinese officials
which have taken place recently and that
they have made known in an official way
their surprise and regret that this should
be done while the peace negotiations are
going on. 1t appears that the execution OF
the acting viceroy of Chilli is looked upon
rs peculiarly reprehensible This acting
viceroy served during the absence of Ii
Hung Chang at Picking, occupying his
yamen and in all ways executing Earl Ii s
functions while he was conducting the
peace mission. His headquarters were es-
tablished at Pao-Ting-Fu, whence the al
lied forces under the German commander
recently directed their expedition. Ii Is
said that the acting vcieroy made no op-
position to the advance of the German and
other allied troops. although he had an
army capable of resisting. He is said to
have come out from the city to meet the
allies and to have turned over his yamen
TO them. From the Chinese standpoint,
China is herself proceeding To punish the
guilty officials and the question OF punish
nients Is also being considered in the ne
gotia.ions now progressing. Chinese Off
Gals maintain, therefore, that this sum-
mary execution OF one OF the highest OFF,
Gals. while he is said TO have been non
combatant and peaceful. Is extraordinary

desire To avoid.
The Chinese minister made a call on
Secretary Hay to-day mainly for the pur-
pose OF getting news on the progress of
affairs. When asked as TO the execution
OF the acting viceroy OF Chilli he would
make no statement. although il is under
stood that he IS fully advised of the feel
ing OF deep concern which prevails among
the Chinese officials at Picking concerninr

GERMANY,s INDUSTRIAL CRISIS.


WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.-Germany Is
now passing through a period of reflection.
determination and a somewhat vague
uncertainty as TO her future, according to
United States Consul General Mason. at
frankfort, who has transmitted to the
State Department a comprehensive review
Of the conditions which have been pro-
ductive of a threatening crisis in many
branches of German industry. ''In many
branches OF trade and manufacture the
limit OF profitable production seems to have
been reached" says Consul General Mason,
land this. together with the scarcity and
high rate OF money incident to liberal in
yestments in all sorts of Improvements and
new enterprises. has brought on a relapse
which has recently caused a general de-
cline in most Industrial securities.
Thoughtful Germans" says Mr.. Mason,
ARE at a loss to determine whether the
distressing condition of textile. hardware
and other branches OF trade is the newt
able reaction following a prOtracted period
OF intense activity or whether a serious
crisis in these industries is at hand. The
temporary stoppage OF exports TO South
africa and To China Is felt TO be RESPONSE
bic in large measure for present conditions.
Aside from the local conditions which
exist In Germany, says the consul gen.
eTaI, by far the most important and omi-
Ious element in the problem is the new
ard enlarged role which has been assumed
by the United States as a source of supply
OF coal and metals. The first reports that
american coal had found a market in
France and Italy and had even been tested
successfully for gas-making purposes in
London were received here with an in
credulity amounting to resentment. While
dealers and certain consumers hailed the
prospect or new source OF supply from
beyond the Atlantic with delight the gem
eral sentiment of the press was distinctly
hostile and ineredulous."
Consul General Mason recounts the Incl
dents that gradually awakened Germany
