CRISIS IN CHINA.
Arrival of French Troops Has Excited
 People of Pekin.

Victoria, B. C., June 3.-!The crisis in China is becoming more acute, accord ing to news received by the steamer Empress of China. Not only is the sit nation grave in the north, but also in the south, for with the incursion of g. O0O French troops across the Kwangsi borders, Pekin has become greatly alarmed. On the arrival of the French force at Chinnan, Governor Wang Chfh Chung of Kwangsi asked the French consul to demand their withdrawal, but he replied that he had no authority over the forces. It is believed at Pekin that the action of the French in the south is taken for the purpose of ere ating diversion in flavor of Russia. An influential petition has been received at Pekin from Hong Kong asking for the dismissal of Governor Wang Chin Chung for. the reason that he is in league with the French.
 The situation regarding Manchuria was very grave when the Empress sailed. Reliable reports published by the Japanese papers told of continued war preparations. A Cheefoo dispatch said that Russians were busily charter ing steamers to carry troops and arms to Taku, Shan and Yalu.
 It is rumored that the Nippon Yusen Kasha CJapan Steamship Col has been asked to hold its fleet in readiness for transports. Stories of large accumula- tions of provisions by Russians and Japanese are frequent in Japanese pa pers. The Russian squadron was ma neuvering of Yalu when the Empress sailed on the 22d of May.
 MT Sung, governor of Moukden has arrived at Moji. Tn an interview he said that Russia aims at securing per manent possession of Manchuria and the mouth of the Yalu.

THE RIVER INSTALLING l
Kansas City, Mo-, Has Blue
 Sky Overhead.
HOPE THAT ALL DANGER IS PAST

Many Bodies Seen Floating Down
 Stream-Fifty Refugees Brought
 In by Boatmen-Some Still Ina
 prisoned by the Waters.
 KANSAS CITY, Mo, June 3.-Blue sky was visible above Kansas City the rains have ended, and the sun was wis ible for the first time in a week. For this and other reasons it is thought that the great dangers of the flood are past.
 The waters of the Kaw river have fallen eight inches and are steadily de- clining at the rate of about one-half inch an hour. In the Missouri the high stage is still maintained, but this is due to the rise which has been coming down the Missouri proper and has been able to offset the fall in the Kaw. It is the water of the latter stream, how ever, that has caused all the damage in this city and in Kansas City, Kan, and with it at a normal stage business in Kansas City soon will resume usual conditions.
 This city by a narrow margin has es- capped a serious shortage in food, has 1dCGA l1lC pGIll LII nlCS ullCLAS AVAPASSS to avert it's consequences; has suffered millions of dollars of damage to prop erty and sustained loss in life that in all probability never will be accurately measured, and now it is commencing to believe in the promise of better things.
 The situation shows improvement on almost every side. The waters are fall ing, the waterworks will resume opera tions, the gas has been turned into the mains once more, and there is no inn mediate danger of a serious shortage of food. The city has cared for her own and is abundantly able to do so still, but there is not sufficient food on hand to permit the relief committee and the municipal officers to feel easy over the outlook. Provisions from outside will be cordially welcomed, and, while there is no dire necessity, there is urgent need. Two men lost their lives in the at tempt to save others. Joseph l.. Keenan was drowned while endeavoring to res cue some people from the. Adams House in Union avenue, and Edward Brooks lost his life in Liberty street, where his skiff was overturned by an eddy while he was endeavoring to get another man out of a building. A num- Der of bodies were seen floating down the stream, but are believed to be those of people drowned farther up the Kaw, probably at North Topeka. 1 Fully fifty people were brought to the Twelfth street viaduct during the day by the boatmen. None of them had been in great danger, but had remained in buildings until weary of the con, f1nement and had then signaled for as sistance, which was given as rapidly af possible. Many people are still in the warehouse and office building and will remain there until the flood shall sub side. They are entirely safe and fairly comfortable.

TO PETITION UNITED STATES.
Venezuelan Revolutionists Who Have
 Been Fighting President Castro.

Been Fighting President Castro.
 New York, June 3.-The Venezuelan revolutionists, who have for over a year and a half been fighting the gov ernment of President Castro, are to pc tition the United States for recognition as belligerents.
 Mail advices received in this city from Venezuelan ports say that Dr Pero Esiquiel Rojas, the diplomatic agent of the provisional government established by the insurrectionists, has been assigned to the mission of seeur- ing for them the rights of bellfgerents. Dr Rojas, who was minister of for eign affairs in the cabinet of President Crespo and President Andrade, is now in Trinidad, where he has been making his headquarters.
 The request of the rebels is based on the fact that they are in absolute possession of all the ports of impor- tance in the country except La Guayra, Macaibo and Puerto Caibello, and hold also the entire eastern portion of Ven ezuela over which they exercise the power of government. If the state de partnnent at Washington does not de eide favorahly on the application, the revolutionary government, it is an nounced. will make the same request of Great Britain. .y.> r.....N-
 The req sons that the United States IS applied to first Is that the rebels would like to maintain the good relations with this country which now exist between Washington and the Castro govern ment and also because the United States is most interested from com mercial point of view.

Flood Outlook mt St. Louiw.

ST. LOUIS, June 3.-Thirty feet, the danger point, was reached and passed by the food that is coming down the Mississippi river. The river continues to rise rapidly, and a point considera- bly, higher than thirty -four feet, which Weather Forecaster Bowie had pre- dicted would be reached by tomorrow or Friday, will be an accomplished fact. The crest of the flood from the Kansas and Missouri rivers is yet to come, and when it shall reach here and be increased by high water in the Mis- sissippi some loss of life is feared, and destruction to property must ensue.

The extension of the United States
general land laws to the Territory of
hawaii appear to your memorialists
ipadvisable for the following reasons,
which. though stated as briefly as pos
sible. will be found to be substantial
ed by the published articles and opin-
ions of those who have had long cxper-
fence and have been directly connect
ed with land matters In this Territory.
The existing Hawaiian land laws
were enacted under full and complete
understanding OF all the peculiar con-
dltions of the country, and under the
leadership OF men anxious for the up
building of homes and small holdings.
They were adapted to country pre-
scnting enormous differences in con-
tour of lands, accessibility and value.
They were modelled largely after the
| laws of New Zealand, than which, no
country has shown a more ardent ad-
herence to the cause OF the small land
,owner, and were intended to conserve
end make best use Of the remaining
public domain. which, though nomin-
ally large. was, on account OF the i'm
Inense amount OF barren. waste AMI
inaccessible land, small for the pur-
poses for which the law was intended
They made stringent provisions for
cultivation and residence in order that
the lands should not be acquired by
spectators and the purposes of the
/ law defeated, and by special terms pro-
"lded a class of inalienable holdings,
intended primarily to protect the ma
tive Hawaiian from his own improv-
iGence.
The trainers Of these laws recog-
nlZed the value and necessity OF a
lease system under proper restrictions,
only a needed source of revenue to the
country, but TO have been instrument
tai in developing otherwise wholly un-
productive lands.
The law has been commended by
Iona lide homesteaders as icing fair
and just one, well suited TO the condi-
ions.
Although the results under this law
have not realized all the hopes of It's
advocates. the reasons are not far ~
