AUSTRIAN FORESTS.
What United States Consul HOssfieId
Reports About Them.

Reports About Them.
Austrian economists claim that the for
ests of their empire are feeding the German
industries to the great detriment of home
manufactures, states United States Consul
Hossfield at Trieste in a report to the De-
partment Of State which sets forth an ar
ray of protests against the expectation OF
Austrian timber.
This argument. however, says the consul,
is lame one applied to the last decade,
for Austria has divided with Germany the
profits resulting from the improvement Of
the raw products of her forest. But in the
last few years Austrias share has dwindled
very materially, SO that at present the
Austrian economists have.a firmer ground
for their protests than has heretofore been
the case
Restrictive measures such as an increase
in freight rates on crude timber to be ex-
ported, the enactment of stricter forestry
laws and discrimination in favor of home
industries in the sale Of timber from the
Austrian forests, are suggested to offset
the alleged unfair advantage which Ger
many acquires.
AustriaS present commercial treaty with
Germany expires next year. and it remains
to be seen to what extent the Austrian gov
ernment will heed these protests.

Chinese Court Barely Escaped Capture
When Pekin Fell.
FLED DISGUISED As PEASANTS
Had a Rough Journey, With Little
Food or Comfort.
PRINCE TUAN IN DISGRACE

TACOMA, Wash, October 22-The ORR
entail liner Glenogle which reached Tacoma
last night, brings an interesting story Of
the fight of the empress dowager from
Pekin. The escape of the court furnished
one of the most enhancing stories of the
Chinese campaign. The Shanghai Mercury
tells the story as follows:
'It appears that in accordance with the
regular practice of the Chinese officials in
similar cases. false reports of suppisititious
victories over the allies were persistently
rendered to the palace, with the result that
the court was lulled into a feeling of fan
cied security that 1t was not until the allies
had actually entered the, capital that the
real facts became known to the empress
and rude awakening took place.
Fled When AIliea Arrived.
"On the early morning of the 18th of Au-
gust the dowager empress, In company with
the emperor, left the palace clothed in common
Chinese cotton garments, travelling in an
ordinary Chinese cart and accompanied by
an insignificant retinue. Such was the
hurry of their departure that no money or
valuables in any quantity were taken with
them, and for several days the imperial
party is said to have suffered great hard
ships.
The only food with which they We're sup
piled was the common !millet of the coun-
try and at night they had to sleep in way
side inns on the rough brick hangs fur
nished for the accommodation of travellers.
Among those who accompanied the court
were Prince Tuan, Kang vi and Wang
Wenshao, and it is said that the empress.
feeling sympathy with the latter on account
OF his age. urged him to return to his resi-
dence at the capital, but the old man begged
with tears to be allowed to share in the
exile Of the court The Illuminating effect
of this experience upon the proud Manchus
can better be imagined than described, and
1t has evidently inspired a desire for ven
geance, as is indicated in the secret orders
sent to Ii Hung Chang for the recapture OF
1ien Tsn and Pekin, as Well as by the
tone of the recent edicts.
The Disgrace of Prince Tuan.
In the light Of the above narrative the
reference in the account given by the Sin
Wen Pao Of the reported disgrace Of Prince
Tuan attributed to the discemforts attend
Ing the flight from Pekip affords some cir
cumstantial evidence Of the accuracy OF
that account, and the fact that the same
paper In its issue of this corning again re-
fers to the empress disp4easure with the
prince adds further weight to its previous
statement. ,-

report was received at the Navy De-
partment this morning from Capt Chester
Of the battle ship Kentucky explaining the
reason for the delay in the departure of
the big ship from New York harbor for
China. The vessel left Tompkinsville Sat-

work can be done on shipboard. and this

PERU'S FOREIGN RELATIONS.
Reports Regarding a Dispute With
Chile Misleading.

hcpOrtS feEaru1nE ptSpute with
Chile Misleading.
The Peruvian consul In Washington states
that reports recently published concerning
the dispute between Chile and Peru are mis-
aiding, and he does not credit the reported
interference Of this country in favor of
Peru in consideration Of certain treaty
rights and a coaling station being granted
by Peru to the United States. Aside from
any treaty, this official states that the COM
merce between the countries Is increasing.
Two years ago it was at low ebb, but to-
day one Of Peru's principal products, su-
gar, is nearly all shipped to this country,
and large shipments of wheat, which were
formerly bought in Chile, now come from
the United States via San Francisco.
1t is also pointed out that the plebiscite
question between Chile and Peru should
have been determined six years ago. but
the Chilean government, after a careful
canvass Of the provinces Of Tacna and
africa, ascertained that a majority Of the
inhabitants were, as they are now, in favor
of the Peruvian dominion, and consequently
Chile has avoided submitting the question
to the people for determination, was
agreed by treaty, and has in turn made
several overtures to Peru to purchase these
provinces.
Under a recent treaty, which only lacks
ratification by the Chilean congress, Peru.
in the event Of the inhabitants of those
provinces deciding in favor of Peruvian con-
troll is to pay $4,000, 600 to Chile in INSTALL
ments for which a fund has been made,
and the first installment is now ready to be
paid over.
The Peruvian consul says that Peru is on
a gold basis, owes no foreign debt, and Is
again prosperous. The revenues set aside
for paying the remaining installments to
Chile, under the conditions are certain and
secure, and the alleged statement that Peru
will not be able to meet these installments
is said to be an excuse for Chile to still
hold possession of these two provinces.
There appears to be no truth in the report
that Peru intends to retard the development
of Tacna and africa by preventing the con-
struction of railroads, otherwise the inhab-
itants would favor Chilean instead of wish
ing to return to Peruvian rule. The exist
ing railroad is an English enterprise, so
that Peru has no interest in avoiding COM
petition and development.
