The Crisis In China.
Empress Regent Denies Res
possibility For Boxers.

Our cable dispatches yesterday
disclose a state of affairs in China
9chich must soon result in q crisis in
the affairs of the so called "Flowery
Kingdom" The outrages of the
Boxers, far flom decreasing, seem
to be increasing to a most alarming
extent. These fierce bands are SO
completely beyond the control of all
local restraint that the Empress Re.
gent was compelled to admit to the
representatives of the Powers that
she could not check their excesssS,
and in consequence declined all res
possibility for their acts.
That her efforts to suppress these
murderouS fanatics have been half
hearted is well known, and yet it
may well be believed that she was
sincere in her declaration of lacking
the power to arrest them in their
sanguinary progress. For she must
know that if the foreign powers are
compelled to take the matter in their
own hands and make war upon the
Boxers, the result is inevitable. The
Boxers will be pursued and captured
and probably executed and she will
be dspOsed from the throne she has
.disgracsd.
For it must be apparent that the
foreign governments will not per-
init their subjects and citizens to be
massacred in cold blood without
doing everything possible to save
them.- Already Germany has sent
troops into the interior. The rssid-
ent British Minister has represented
the situation in strong terms to
Lord Salisbury and England may
set have use in China for some of
her South African troops before SEN
ding them home.
The United States is also vitality
interested party and has both troops
and war ships within easy roach.
At whatever cost, these Boxers
must be suppressed, and they and
the. other fanatical, foreigner hating
Cinnamon taDght such alssssn that
they viii in future be compelled to
respect the lives and property OF the
citizens and subjects Of other nations.
The uhole civilized world is aroused
at the ontragss which have been
committed, and ews from the East
during the next few days will be
watched for with unusual interest.

BOOM IN HAWAII
More Railways to Be Constructed
This Year Than the Islands
Now Possess.
Probably Three Hundred Miles
Will Be Completed Before
1901.
Improvement Will Greatly Sim
plify Development Of the
Islands.

TACOMA, WASH, Jan. 2.-R. q. Con-
don, . railroad contractor from Chi
cago, has arrived here from Honolulu.
he brings the news that regular rail
road boom has struck Hawaii, and that
this year will see more railroads built
than the islands now possess.
Plans laid call for the construction of
800 miles or more. The largest part of
these win be built, he says, by Thomas
L. johnson and Albert johnson of
Cleveland, who have formed strong
syndicate. Their project includes sew
eral lines Of electric road in Honolulu
and elsewhere on the island of Oahu.
Ferryboats viii ply between the ter.
mini and the various islands. Work is
to commence in February. The Ko-
hala and Hilo Railway company will
soon let contracts for the first section of
ITS electric road from Honolulu to
Kohala.
This road will be 100 miles long and
cost $2,3O0,000. These roads will great
ly simplify the development of the Ha-
waiian islands by putting the greatest
sugar and coffee producing areas in di-
rect communication with the CONNER
cial centers. Over a million dollars
worth of ties and lumber for these rail-
roads will be shipped to Hawaii from
Puget sound during the year.
