CHINESE OUTLOOK IS
 NOW MORE HOPEFUL .
The Foreigners in Pekin Are Probably Safe With Prince Ching on Their Side.

interview says the southern Viceroys are only bound to neutrality long they are not interfered with. They have more war materials than they can use. and the military forces all over the provinces are increasing. The Yang Tse Kiang is mined with torpedoes. The garrison at the Shanghai arsenal has just been reinforced by two newly recruited regiments. Baron Hayashi, being asked by a repre- sentative of the Daily Chronicle, Do you understand that Japan has now been al- lowed free hand to settle the trouble?" replied:
 T do not understand so, but know that Japan is willing to do all in her power to bring the rising to an end along with the other powers. Japan is ready to put 22,OOo men into the field"
 If any sort Of government existed in Pekin the settlement of the trouble would not present serious difficulties, but If an- archy prevailed the situation would be serious indeed.
 George Wyndham, parliamentary under secretary of state for war, said in the House of Commons yesterday that since 1895 English firms sold the Chinese govern ment n guns of position, 123 field guns, and 297 machine guns, with ammunition for each class. He also said that a German firm in 1899 sold China 460,OO0 Mauser rifles.
 Rear Admiral Lord Charles Beresford, speaking at Malta, at the naval and mili- tary society on Monday evening, said the trouble in China would be far-reaching and disastrous in its consequences to Brit ish trade there. It would be military, not a maritime war, and the powers that could place on the spot the greatest number of troops would eventually have substantial advantages. The powers not consenting to the "open door," particularly Russia, he declared, would eventually gain suprem- acy Lord Beresford advocated an imperial conference to which all the colonies should be invited, to discuss scheme of de- fense.

SHOT THE RAPIDS
 IN ''F00L KILLER" Bowser Makes a Successful Sen-
 sation at Niagara. 10000 PERSONS PRESENT The First Words He Uttered. After His Boat Was Pulled to the Shore
 Was, How is. That
 for Bowser?"
10000 PERSONS PRESENT

Niaraga Falls, N. Y, July 9.-Peter Mis- sen of Chicago, or MT. Bower, as he styles himself, went through the whirlpool rapids of the Niaraga this afternoon in the pres ence of about 10000 persons, fin his craft, the Fool Killer. The boat was lowed to rock about a mile above the rapids and secured. The point was difficult to reach by officials from either the American or Canadian shores who might have been dis posed to interfere. Shortly after o'clock MT. Bowser was seen on his boat A little later James LaBland pulled up in a row boat and lowed the Fool Killer, with Bow ser aboard. into the current. At 3:57 the start down stream actually com menced, but the fickle eddies kept the Fool Killer drifting about until 4:50, when she got into the whirlpool current and started for the final plunge. Passing under the Cantiever bridge the boat took on the speed of an express train. Bower threw his oar far fram him and waved his cap.
 The crowd saw the craft rise on the crest of a smooth wave and then dive into the leaping spray and disappear. The strange craft turned over and over like top, roll ing and plunging until 1t passed a bend in the river and the most periious part of the journey had been passed The buoy ant craft kept on the crest of the waves until submerged again on the verge of the whirlpool. Shooting into the whirlpool the Fool Killer swung around and went down like a fishing bob, but rose again quickly. For the next 15 minutes Bowser and his boat circled around in the whirlpool. Shortly before o'clock the Fool Killer was carried out to the edge of the rapids and line was thrown by Bowser to men on shore who hauled him in. His first ques- tion was How was that for Bowser."
 The Fool Killer is 20 fet long and four feet deep. and Is made Of two-inSs pine with four airtight compartments. The keel weighs 1.25O pounds
 Bowser warmed himself at a fire built on the shore and put on dry clothing and ap- peared to be little the worse for his mad ride.
 Had known just how bad the whirlpool rapids are I would never have attempted that trip" he said. After I had passed through the first big waves I realized that my hat had been washed off. Then some more waves came over me, and dIA not know where l was. I did not know what was going on until I came out in the whirlpool During that brief time 1t seemed that hundred hammers were pounding my head and my boat. never turned over, but was on outside or end several times, and each time I thought that I was @ goner. If 1t had not been for the shoulder straps which I put on the last minute I would have been hurled to death. I was conscious of nothing except the fearful sensation of being overwhelmed with blows from every side. I was mighty cold and tired when I came out at the whirlpool.
