| Germany intends, if possible, to extend
her territorial possessions in China
The occupation OF the Kiao-chou penin-
sula has. it is said not proved a profitable
investment for the German Government
and there is a suspicion that it has its eye
on the hinterland of that territory which
might give it hold on the valuable Yang
tie region and an outlet 10 the Gulf of Pc
chilli on the north, although a northern
extension of Germany's interests could not
be considered as embracing only the him
terland of Kiao-chou.
Germany, 1t is said, will not make an
mite answers from all the powers to her
proposal to punish the anti-foreign
leaders. Then. according to some Off
cfals, will come the crisis. The great
fear is that she viii decide to act in
dependently, perhaps going to the ex-
treme of dclaring war on the Chinese
Government. By this means she would
be in better position to obtain addi-
tional territory but the danger of such
a course it is said, lies in the incentive
it would give to the other powers to do
likewise, thus causing conflict of in
terests.
It is believed by some officials, however,
that Germany will not have the temerIty
between the powers unless she can do 50
under cover of military necessity. On every

TRAINING SHIP AGROUND.
The Hawk Stranded On the Shoals
Near Lachine.

MONTREAL, Quebec. Sept 27.-The
United States training ship Hawk. which
passed through Montreal yesterday
morning on her way up the St Lawrence
TO Cleveland, Ohio, where she was to
be used by the Ohio naval reserve as a
training ship, is aground on the shoals
near Lachine.
Last night about II O'Clock the Hawk
cleared the Lachine Canal, using her
searchlights. The channel at this point
takes turn in toward shore, but the Off
GERS of the ship, using their searchlight,
found they were clear of the canal point
and made straight ahead, running on the
shoals, The S1ncers state they had en-
gagged a pilot, but at the Laehine locks
he left the boat for few moments. AS
he did not return the ship proceeded with
out him. She was still aground at noon,

cite men. charging that coal is being ship
ped out of this region by the train!oad, and
urging that efforts be red0ubled to check
this menace 10 the strike. The matter has
been brought TO the attention of President
Wilson, who takes the ground that If the
anthracite men wish to prevent the en-
eroachmeBt OF soft coal they must lend
their assistance 10 the work Of stopping
it.
The position of the local leaders is that
the task of tracing the origin Of shipments
devoIves rather upon the men al the other
end of the line; that ii is easier to deter
mine where car OF soft coal has come
from than it is TO guess where 1t is goiEa
when it leaves the tpple consigned to a
point near at hand, where it might be re-
consigned.
The bituminous leaders do not deny that
coal from this district is going into the
hard coal markets every day-tra1n loads
of it.
The local operators say that no coal is
going cut, contrary to the arrangements
being done, if at all, by number of the
smaller producers who employ non-union
men and whose course cannot be regulated
by the larger operators because they are
not affiliated.

bruised, indicating that he was climbed
OF sandbagged, although the police saw
the bruises may have been caused bv a
fall. The doctor who came with an am

bagging theory. Another strong indi

value was found ia his pockets.
Mr.. Peck was man of large means

article Of value found On him was seal

| BERLIN, Sept. 27.-Eope of ultimately
prevailing over the foreigners in China has
apparently again taken possession of the
! Chinese Imperial authorities, largely be-
cause of the American policy of withdraw
| al, fer advices from Shanghai are not en-
couraging. Temporarily, the Celestial die
tators were compelled to hide their bitter
| hatred of foreigners, because of the ap-
parent unanimity OF the powers in acting
for rescue and reprisaI, but the vacillating
attitude of Mr.. McKiniey's Administration
has apparently been held up to the En-
press Dowager and Tuan, the Boxer leader,
as indicative of the cowardice of civilized
nations, or at least signifying the inability
of the wronged nations to exact justice for
the horrible outrages on foreigners.
The withdrawal of America from the
| Chinese problem, however, while it may
have the effect of encouraging the hostile
Ceiest'als to renew the attack On the SOL
diers of the powers, and the prosecution Of
| further outrages on the helpless native
ence any nation in Europe to abandon the
reasonable policy to be pursued for the re-
dress of the wrongs done to civilization.
If what is regarded in Berlin as the
! shabby policy of the American Admins
tration is not responsible for the re-
newal of hope in the Dowager Empress
and her conspirators, it is at least sig
nifcant that the announcement of the
wlthdra EaI policy is followed by the
despatch from the French Consul at
Shanghai, made public in Paris today
The French official learns from Chinese
sources that the yfceroys and Govern
ors have received secret orders from the
court, permitting them to fight and de-
stroy all foreigners in the Empire.
He also announces that Tung-fuh-s.ang
has been appointed general of the Chinese
armies of the west and north. de-
cree has also been issued conferring
antt-foreign commissioner who was kill
ed in battle with the allies This is a
deliberate slap at the powers and sfgnif-
cant of the sentiment that rules the
Celestial court.
