angle Of the boundary line Of the quad

1t is probably, but not positively outside
of the line, and lies very near the Goa
of Borneo. commanding the principal
channel between that island and the
Philip pines. The sultan Of Jolo, whose
group is close to this island, is believed
to claim jurisdiction Of it, and as his
authority is recognized by the native
tribes on the north coast Of Borneo and
vicinity. it is believed that his claim is
we'll founded. 1t was probably at his
instance that the naval officer com.
manding the gunboat moved.

h British Too Much For Him.
BERLIN, Jan. 6.-The seizure Of the
Imperial mail steamer General has
considerably aggravated the situation
here and the indignation against Eng
land is intensified. The government is
still earnestly endeavoring to preserve
correct official relations, but England
will do we'll to hasten to make the
amende honorable to Germany.
On absolutely reliable authority the
correspondent Of the Associated Press
learns that Emperor William is now
thoroughly aroused by the repeated
seizures of vessels, not M Of which,
he has been assured, is guilty of carry
ing contraband of war. He regards the
seizures as highhanded proceedings
which England would not have dared
to undertake if the German navy were
more powerful than it is.
Not Due to . Blundsr.
His majesty is said to be particularly
incensed because information has
reached him showing that the seizures
were not due to the laundering of Brit
ish naval officers, but to strict orders
from headquarters which the officers
are merely carrying out. He has. there
fore, instructed Count von Buelow, the
foreign minister. to demand exact and
full reparation for the outrage done to
the German flag.
No answer that is considered satisfac.
tory has yet been received from Lon
don and according to advices here none
is to be expected for several days
longer. The latest news, however, in
duced the German government to send
another and more strongly worded pro-
test to London. The German press

great commercial significance OF the

specting China. Responding to an in
quiry, be said that but for this action
the United States would have been shut
ont from trade advantages in any prov
ince which other nations might see tit
to take possession of. He said:
Anything produced in the United
States will now permanently ind its
way to all parts Of the Celestial empire.
Our trade relations there in the future
are secured. Not Of the least impor-
lance is the fact that the permanencysof
the cotton market in China is secured.
The trade in cotton goods has been very
heavy in Manchuria and other northern
provinces. Our interests generally. u
dairy, poultry, and other products from
the farms Of the United States nov
have assurances Of permanent markets
in all the provinces throughout the
SQllSSc l. que "AC40 SuSA -
in demand. and this demand is growing
and will continue to grow.
The work Of Secretary Hay in this
regard supplements and compliments
the work Of our army and navy. A
year ago no nation would have listened
to a proposition of this kind, but the
whole world listens to the United States
now. The white mans burden came
with the islands. Secretary Hays
work brings the reward for lifting the
burden. Some idea of the vastness of
the interests involved may be gained in
the fact that while ten years ago our
exports from the Pacific coast to all
countries aggregated $26, 00O, 600, and
FIVE years ago s42, OOO, 900, the steady
increase in Pacific coast exports has
raised the aggregate to $73, 600, 900 a
