EVIDENCE OF THE STIFFENING OF

Yokohama, Jan. 3, via San Francisco,
Jan. 19.-(Correspondence Associated
Press.)-The plague cases do not attract
much attention, only a few sporadic cases
showing themselves from time to time.
The whole number thus far throughout
the empire has been only 40 of which 40
proved fatal, The chief injury sustained
has been by the business interests Of
Kobe, which have suered severely and
also by railway companies, passenger
travel having been greatly deferred by
stringent quarantine regulations.
A lively interest has been aroused by
the publication of a strict decree of the
empress dowager Of China in which she
shows a becoming sense Of the danger
which threatens the empire from foreign
aggression and holds provincial governors
to strict responsibility for immediate de-
Tense of their respective provinces should
attack be made Upon them.
THE various powers , she says, "are
casting upon us looks of tiger-like vorac-
ity, hustling each other in their endeav-
ors to be the first to seize upon our inner
most territory. They think that China,
having neither money nor troops, would
never Venture to &c to war with them."
Speculation is of course rife as to what
has happened to bring out his decree.

The Boston Financial News says:

Speaking with reference to last weeks
report that the next dividend on Boston
& Montana stock will be on a lower basis
than the last dividend declared, an official
of the company said this morning: "It
is a trifle too early to speak of the divi-
dend program IN Montana stock for the
current year although there seems to be
no reason for departing from our former
policy of starting the year with a small
disbursement n gradually working up
to higher figures, as each quarter is
reached. Last year, for instance, the
first dividend was S., 81 regular and 81 ex-
ira. The next one was 81 regular and 81
extra, n the dividend for the third
quarter was "a regular n Sc extra. while
the final declaration amounted to 81 reg
ula n 81 extra.
Our company. after paying $50 in divi-
dends during the year 1899, showed q
handsome surplus to be carried over to
the current year, and we start out his
year with a very favorable outlook.
This year I believe hat the copper
producing mines will average Ice. or bet
ter for their product. Very few Of the
companies averaged as much as that last
year., for in most cases, the bulk of sales
was made during the early part of the
year, or before the highest prices were at
tanned.
to show decided improvement owe con-
ditions which nave recently obtained.
Our local financial atmosphere is much
clearer that it has been; money is grow
ing decidedly easier, to such an extent
that people with money to lend are almost
begging us to take as much as we may
need.

provement, and no matter what the f1uc-
tuations of the fortunes of war are be-
tween now and the settlement of that
