Washington Authorities Are Growing
Anxious.
Washington, June 1.-THE third day
passed here without single line OF
news from any official source respect.
ing the critical situation in China. All
day the telegraph offices at the White
House and in the state, war and navy
departments were manned, but no word
came Inquiries of the cable compan-
les showed that not only were the COM
munications by wire from Pekin, Taku,
Tien-Tsin and all northern China sus-
pended, but the notices conveyed little
encouragement for the hope that they
would be soon reopened.
The War Department early in the
day received the following message
from the Western Union headquarters
at New York:
The only news from the East to-
day is the notice of an interruption OF
the Great Northern lines between Blag-
owestshensk and Tschita, which cuts
all communication with China and
Japan via that route"
The line referred to is land wire
running out of Pekin to Tschita to the
north and connecting with the Russian
Siberian system. Thence land wires
run through Korea and by short ca
BILE across to Nagasaki, Japan.
The Navy Department during the
day made an effort to reach Rear Ad-
miral Kempff on his flagship Newark
at the Taku forts, at the mouth of Pei
Ho river. A cablegram was addressed
to the commander of the United States
ship Yorktown at Chez Foo, the near
est treaty port to Taku, on the northern
side of the Shan Tung peninsula, re-
peatng the message intended to Ad-
miral Kempff last Thursday, inquiring
as to his situation, the conditions at
Pekin at last report, and into his need
for more men and ships and directing
the commander to take the message at
once to Taku and return with the an
swer. The department is now pretty
well assured that the original message
never reached Admiral Kempff. The
department does not know whether the
message to Chez Foo can be delivered
but made the effort. From Chez Foo
to Taku is only a single days run for
the Yorktown, so that an answer from
Admiral Kempff should be received by
Monday night, if Chez Foo can be
reached to-day.
speedily had to other measures, if
meantime word is not received from
some one in authority in China. Just
what course will be followed is not yet
determined
Meanwhile if the communications re-
main uninterrupted with Taku, 1t is
certain that a message will be ordered
Mt once at Manila to dispatch more ma
val force, or troops on transports, to
reinforce Admiral Kempff and extend
aid to the international relief column.
which. it is beginning to be feared, is

The State Department to-day receiv-
ed numerous kilograms from relatives
and friends of Americans in northern
China and in Pekin. praying for news
touching the welfare of their friends.

wife of the German ambassador. at

At the Royal Technical school in
Charlottenburg. Germany, Prof. Josse
has recently tested, with remarkable
results, method of increasing the
efficiency of steam engines, which was
invented by two Germans some ten
years ago, but has only now been ef-
fectively applied. The principle de-
pends upon the employment of the
exhaust steam from an ordinary COM
pound engine to evaporate another
liquid having, lower boiling point
than water. The liquid used Is sui
phurous acid. The heat of the exhaust
steam is sufficient to liberate sulphur
dioxide gas and this, passing into the
cylinder OF an auxiliary engine, acts
the part OF steam. 1t is afterwards
condensed and goes back to the vapor-
izer The result is said to be that
20 every indicated horse power devel-
oped in the main engine about half a
horse power is added by the auxiliary
engine. without increasing the con-
sumption of fuel

Geological Society of America. Some
bones discovered at Glen Eyrie at the
foot OF Pixies Peak proved to be the
remains OF a goat-antelope, unlike any
animal of he kind now inhabiting

antelope of the Himalayan region In
Asia. Other bones found in the same

from a trip to Europe, talks interest

Europe fifty years ago and 0 Of this

through most Of the countries Of Europe.
The U. S vas then looked upon by the
rest OF the world much as a South
American Republic is regarded,
Europeans believed we were a hall
savage. nomadic people. OF little con-
sequence in dealings with the worlds
affairs. Savage Indians were supposed
to prowl at night through the streets Of
New York and the fact that We held
the negro in slavery brought US into
open contempt. A citizen Of this country
received much more consideration if
he allowed continental Europe to be-
lieve he was an Englishman. The
charge in European sentiment with re-
ference to America is something mar
yelous. The eyes Of the world have
been opened. and the overgrown and
clumsy child 1t was inclined to sheer
at fifty years ago is now looked upon
as a young giant whose friendship all
people are anxious to claim. An
American is treated with as much, II
not more. consideration than a native
Of any other country. He is always
