VIII Profit by Chinese Troubles
NEW YORK. July 19-The bank officials
Of this city are regarding the situation in
China with gravity. and in the opinion OF
some il is the most critical that this coun-
try has faced since the days Of the civil
war. Vice President \ Barton Hepburn.
OF the Chase National Bank, said yester-
day:
While the situation in China is ex-
tremely critical. do not think we are on
the eve OF a worldwide war. We must re-
member that the Chinese are not a homo
5eneCus leOple. and that their country Is
composed of different States the inhabi-
tants OF which have different languages
and varying customs They have com
paTatively few railroads and have strenu-
ously resisted the introduction OF al civ
liking agencies. They have comparatively
few troops drilled according to modern
military tactics and as soon as the Euro
pean nations have assembled any cOnsid-
able army in their country the Chinese
must suffer disastrous defeat. When that
time arrives l think We may look for 8
division of counsels among the yiceroys
The Chinese cannot fight and run away
like the Beers in South Africa They can
not sustain successful warfare with the
European nations for any length Of zine.
4 do not think the situation is so seri-
Gus as many imagine, and l do believe il
will rebound greatly to the benefit OF the
United States from a commercial stand
point II a European army is to be main
tanned there. supplies must go forward
from the United States for that purpose,
and the tide of export once set in that di-
rectiOn will continue after peace has been
restored A"

Mr.. Edwards says that the nuisance con-
sists Of the recent construction Of shanties

front Of said square. bordering on what is
known as Water Street. Mr. Edwards says
these shanties are now occupied in part
and to be occupied when others are com
pleted, by negroes. pigs, goats. chickens,
cats and other similar 'yarmints.' " He
also says that these buildings are without
drainage, sewerage. or any OF the ordinary
safeguards against disease.
The complaint OF Mr. Edwards was re
ferred the Health Department and DR..
william. c. Woodward. the Health officer
now reports that the pigs and the pigpens
have been removed. and that the location
OF certain OuthoUses have not vet been
prope ly decided. He says they appear TO
be iE the public street. and that If such is
found to be the case a recommendation
necessary 10 their removal Will be made.
Continuing DIT. Woodward says:
The shanties appear TO be on land
owned by Mr.. Edwards clients There
fore. they should be removed by the own
ers Of the land they occupy. and can be so
removed if consent was not given for their
ereCtiC.
4 would suggest that the attention Of the
Inspector Of Buildings be invited 10 these
shanties. and that if they have been built
without the necessary permits the respon-
sible parties be prosecuted"
The Commissioners have approved the
recommendations of the Health Officer.

CLAIMS SHE WAS ROBBED.
weird Tale of Burglary Told by a
Woman in Baltimore

"Ohah IN s8tthhore-
BALTIMORE. July ia weird ta.e of
the alleged robbery OF woman is beirg
discussed by dweilers in the 17OO block of
North Montford Avenue. The woman. who
claimed TO have been robbed has left the
city, and it is not known whether she
will return.
Two months or more ago a woman who
said she was Mrs. Furnam. OF New Jersey.
called on c. w Miller. 1923 North
Broadway, and rented from him house
1913 North Montford Avenue She moved
in at once, occupying the place alone. Lat
er she began negotiations for the purchase
OF the house. The first payment was to
have been made yesterday.
About o'clock Monday afternoon Mrs.
Furnam rushed into the house of her
neighbOr. Mrs. Myrtle Lee. saying shC had
been robbed OF 500. She was weeping
and seemed to be much excited. Ms. Lee
accompanied her back to her home. The
only furniture il contained was four chairs

Mrs Furnam sleeping in a hammock in
the middle upstairs room. Everything aas
in disorder.
This was the statement made by MIS-

the house while the other held me. Net
finding the money they demanded that l
tell them where IL was. Thinking they
might kill me l told them il was in a tin
can over the door leading from the lower
hall into the basement. The woman went
out. got the money, and. returning to my
room. counted il. It's all right she said
Then they said 10 me:-.We will not

get away without trouble | smelt chlOro-
form and knew no more until about an
hour ago, when found myself locked in a
closet in the next room. I hammered the
door open with a shelf in the closet and

Mrs Furnam said she thought the rob

bathroom. which opened into a space be-

Another trap-dOOr gave access from this
space TO the outside Of the roof. A trap

SOFT COAL FOR ENGLAND.
Pennsylvania Fuel to BE Used on
British Railroads

PHILADELPHIA. July I9.-The first
from this country to London will shortly
leave this city on the British steamship
QueenswoOd, which was yesterday charter
ed for that purpose, Unusual importance at
taches TO this shipment, because the coal
is TO be used as fuel by English rail-
roads. principally the London and North
western, whose expenses have been consid-
erably increased of late by the high prices
they have had to pay for English coal
The QueenswOod's cargo viii consist of
1000 tons, for which she Will receive about
81 per ton freight. Even at these prices.
which will make the coal cost in England
something like s. a ton, the Pennsylvania
product is said to be somewhat cheaper
than the native coal The QueenswOOd is
now due from England. and will load her
outward cargo in time to leave here this
month.
These shipments of coal to foreign ports.
such as Marseilles Lisbon. Genoa. Naples
Venice. AncOna. and AIgiers. have done
much TO bridge over the temporary dull
ness in ocean tonnage cause by the fall
ing on in grain exports through the recent
advances in the price OF wheat and corn
A. there seems to be no reason TO expect
that English coal. whose amount is rapidly
diminishing. will fall in price in the fu-
ture. shipping men believe that there will
soon be steady and growing trade in the
export OF American coal to English and
Continental ports. Pocahontas coal from,
Virginia, has long enjoyed a high reputa-
tion abroad. and. as the merits of PennsyI-
Vania coal become better known, Il is ex-
pected that the demand for Il will in
crease. 1t was largely with view to de-
veloping large foreign trade in American
coal that the Pennsylvania Railroad re-
Gently secured important interests in the
Baltimore and Ohio. Norfolk and Western
and Chesapeake and Ohio railroads. and
within few years it is expected that ship
ments OF bituminous coal to Europe win
become very large factors in the commerce
of Philadelphia. Baltimore, Norfolk. and
Newport News.
