The Roanoke had an adventurous pas

mill was rugged to help to keep the
water out of the hold. On November

the vessel was said to be on fire. AT
ter that the water was allowed to rise
over four feet in the hold and remain
at that level to assist in fighting the
fire. First Officer Moxon made a dar-

The Standard is similarly of the
opinion that nothing in the message

The Morning Post is disappointed
that the message contains no echo of
the late President McKinleys pro

President Roosevelt's unexpected
moderation.
Regarding President Roosevelt's
spirited enunciation of Monroeism
The Chronicle says: Whether the

the United States becomes possessed
of a commercial fleet she will have to

Deposing OF Former Heir Proof Of
Empress Leaning Toward Reform.

Empress Leaning oWard Heform.
Peliin, Dec. Chinese officials say
that the appointment Of a new heir
apparent to the throne will be delayed
until the emperor, Kwang Su, can
discuss the question with leading
men. The imperial edict deposing the
former heir apparent, Pu Chun, son of
Prince Tuan, the author of the Boxer
troubles, is generally considered as
the strongest proof yet given of the
sincerity of the empress leaning to-
wards reform. Prince Ching has not
seen Paul Lessar, the Russian minis
ter to China. since the former re-
turned to PelIin. Conversing with rep
resentatives of two of the foreign
powers, Prince Ching said China
would oppose Russian control of Man
churia if any of the powers would
support her in so doing.
