THE EASTERN SITUATION.
Alleged Facts Regarding 1t Cleaned
From Oriental Newspapers.

SAN FRANCISCO. July 24-Shanghai
and Yokohama newspapers received by the
America -Maru give some interesting facts
regarding the situation in China and ia
pan OF the position of the foreign colony
in the British legation the Japan Mail of
Yokohama says:
This is a time when to live in Pekin at
all is to suffer terribly from heat. With 500
foreigners, including many women and chill
dren, crowded in the British legation, and
exposed to the constant rifle fire Of the
Chinese. the misery must be great. The
walls are high and thick. and the defenders
must have been forced to erect stagings on
the inner side on which riaemen could
stand. If the Chinese used artillery the
gunners would have to expose themselves
to rifle fire at short range, and this, with
the number of good shots among the mar
ines. would be attended with very severe
losses. The gunners could not take up a
distant position and lombard the buildings
effectively without destroying much of
their own property. The provision ques-
ton is the worst. There are no Ice pIants
| in the foreign legations. and they have
been accustomed to depend upon the Chi
nese markets for their daily supplies of
beef and mutton. certain quantity of
preserved provisions were doubtless In
stock in the Hotel de Pekin but nothing to
feed so large a number as 500

The troubles in China threaten to bring
on a financial panic In Japan. China has
gradually become the greatest field for

heavily on many large Japanese firms

SUGGESTIONS TO MANUFACTURERS.
Catalogues Should Contain Rates of
Freight and Insurance.

Freh8nt ana insurance.
Consul Van Buren,. at Nice has made a
report to the State Department on the sub
3ect of freight and insurance rates in for
eign trade. He says that in view of the in
ereastng efforts in the United States to find
new markets for its products the important
items of freight and insurance rates should
receive more attention from all those in
terested In the export trade. He says he Is
aware that all goods are not ciassed alike
as regards freight, but chambers of COM
merce and commercial associations could
have the different kinds of products classed
as to indicate whether they are to be
charged by ton measurement or by weight.
As the rates to Mediterranean ports do not
vary much an occasional quotation in the
commercial newspapers would be of great
utility. Manufacturers could then add to
their catalogue for Mediterranean ports
our goods are freighted as class A" or
class b.
There should be at the head Of the printed
table summary description of the goods
entering into each class. Thus persons re-
ceavlng catalogues could at glance and
with much saving of time make up the cost
or goods C. l. f. and gain an idea as to the
possibility of business
Rates of insurance do not vary greatly,
and catalogues might also contain the rate
to the different ports. Foreigners who look
over American catalogues invariably say.
And what is the freight" To ascertain
this requires special correspondence and
be saved by the plan suggested above.
In fact, he says. he does not see why cata-
logues should not contain a pro forma in
voice of goods.

SKAGWAY, Alaska, July 16 tvia Seattle.
Wash. July 2D.-The work of delimiting
the provisional boundary in the disputed
Alaska-Canadan territory having been
completed in that part crossing the Dalton
trail and touching the Porcup:ne district.
the Americans in the district find that they
have lost large part of what they be-
l:eve was rightfully American territory.
The survey has been run and the monu-
nlents set within the last few weeks by o.
H. Tittman of Washington. D. c.. and w.
F. King of Ottawa, and assistants who
have simply followed instructions set forth
in the modus vivendi agreed to after the
adjournment Of the joint high commission.
The survey and demarkation of the line
leaves nearly one-half of the Porcup:ne
gold mines in the British territory and it
mas been the general opinion for long
time that the mines and. in fact the entire
Porcupine district. were on the American
side. Much of the Dalton toll road leading
to Porcup.ne City now lies within Canadiao
territory also; that is. on the Canadian side
of the iron monuments set on the pro-
visonal lines.
American Miners Protest.
The American miners in the Porcupine
having watched the development of the
work of delimiting and marking the boun-
dairy were so aroused over the result of so
much of the mining district being left on
the British side that they were not long in
addressing a protest to President McKin-
ley. Copies of the protests have been sent

NEW YORK. June 23.-opening prices

the decline at fractional concessions and
the midday market had an appearance "

nese advices We're not accepted as being
worthy OF market notice inasmuch as they
retain the complex character noted several
days ago. and have not been generally ac-

Instead of waiting for definite news from,

stocks which need no incentive other than
an organized effort on the part N insi,i,

OF the advance, as the result of pres nj

Realizing sales were numerous and large

The Pacific stocks failed TO gain and the

from actual offerings, the recent tendency

pronounced. The unwillingness to buy was
