CHINA IS RAISING
ARMY OF DEFENSE
General Ma Ordered to
Recruit Twenty
BattaliOns.

LONDON, Nov. 30.-The Daily Mails
correspondent says he has information
that Russian troops are being trans
ported to Northern Manchuria through
Tashikiang, in the direction of Port
Arthur, at the rate of 400 daily. Gen
eral Ma, the correspondent says, has
been instructed by the Chinese Gov
ernment to raise twenty battalions for
distribution in Mongolia and Man
churia. for the purpose of defense
against Russia. General Ma declares
that, in the event of war, he will join
his forces with those of the Japanese
army.
A dispatch from Toxic to the Daily
Mail says that the Port Arthur cor
respondent of the Asahi, one of the best
informed of the Japanese newspapers,
sends the following:
"Viceroy Alexieff, addressing his
staff, said that if Russia had three
docks at Port Arthur and two at Dalny
she would not hesitate to fight Japan
but as things stood it would be impos-
sibie to annihilate fleet in the first
enga cement, while a second encounter
would mean certain defeat, if not the
annihilation of the Russian fleet. For
this reason, the Viceroy said, war with
Japan would not be advisable
The Asahi's correspondent adds that
many of the principal warships of
Russia are badly in need of repairs,
which cannot be accomplished in the
present unsettled condition of affairs
Consequently, Viceroy Alexieff said,
he was strongly in favor of peace.
The Times Peking correspondent
says that small bodies of Russian
troops are patrolling the country
around Hsinmintun, the termination
of a branch line of the railway between
the great wall and Newchwang, on the
pretext of suppressing brigands. al
though the region is perfectly quiet and
peaceful. Hsinmintun is only one days
ride from Moukden. The Chinese are
daily expecting to hear that the Rus
slams have occupied the railroad there
and have resumed military occupation
Of the country down to the great wall.

Britain Will Not Send Expedition to
Thibet's Capital.

LONDON, Nov. 30-It was announced
to-day that the British Government has
no present intention of sending the
Younghusband expedition through to
L Hasa. the capital of Thibet. or even
of permanently occupying Gyangtse
which is the second town in Importance
in Thibet. On his arrival at Gyangtse
Colonel Younghusband, it is said. homes
to be able to reopen negotiations with
the Thibetans. There is no question
however, that preparations are being
made for all emergencies. The military
arrangements are intrusted to Colonel
Macdonald. who was with the allied
forces in China. Immense quantities of
transport stores and warm clothing are
being collected, including fur coats.
purchased for the troops in China
which are being sent from Tients;n. as
on the occasion of the previous demon
strations on the Thibetan frontier the
troops were obliged to return, owing 10
the intense cold in the mountains.
This reputation of designs on HAS
sa or of permanent stay in Thibetan
territory is understood to be an outcome
of the discussions by the British Cabi-
net last week. when the attitude of
Russia in relation to the expedition was
among the principal questions debated.

Or. Rudolph Schimpe. a wealthy resi-
dent OF St Paul. who has been a guest
al The Occidental Hotel since July last,
returned 10 that hostelry yesterday after
an absence of several days. and found TO
his surprise that he had been accounted
in his Cwn town as missing for several
weeks.
Dr. Schimpe is a chemist Of consider
able note and is the president Of a brio
ouette company. in whose interest he
came 10 the coast. Several days ago he
decided 10 pay q visit 10 friends in Oak
land and Immediately carried out his in
tentions by crossing the bay. He forgot
to mention to the clerks at the Occidental
that he was going 10 be away. Two days
ago the local police received from St.
Paul a request 10 locate the doctor. the
explanation for the inquiry being that he
had not been heard from for some time,
and his friends and relatives were con-
slderabiy worried about his safety
Hardly had the local sleuths started
out On q hunt for the supposed missing
man before he returned TO his hotel The
doctor was unable TO suggest reason
why the anxiety had been aroused in St.

a Tragedy.
Temporary Insanity Is Said
to Have Occasioned
the Crime.

SONOMA, Nov. 3O.-Fred Goess, pro-
prietor of the Golden West Hotel, shot
his wife in the head tonight and then
killed himself.

took effect behind her left ear. Mrs.
Goess fell to the floor and her hus-
band, thinking she was dead. turned
the six-shooter on himself. He died
instantly.
The Goesses had been married about
a year, and temporary insanity is
thought to have been the immediate
cause of the tragedy. Mrs. Goess,

whose parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Benjamin
Kopf, reside in San Francisco, is prob
ably fatally injured. Goess was p

Several days ago, when the German
Government inquired Of Minister
Bunau-Varilla whether Panama would
carry out the treaty stipulations of the

his Government readily assumed these

territory over which the republic of
Panama exercised sovereignty, but
that the Panama Government must
necessarily exempt from this pledge
