CHINA ARMING FOR FIGHT.
Increasing Army and Revenue Under
Two Great Statesmen.

increasing ARMY anu NCSC'oC O'NS'
Two Great Statesmen.
Washington. Oct. 18.-Conditi0ns in
China, which were generally supposed
to have improved since the cessation OF
the boycott on American goods and its
consequent agitation, are really much
worse, and the antifore;gn feeling is
greater than it ever was. Information
OF an absolutely trustworthy character
has reached Washington to this effect.
The Chinese army, under the guild
ing hand of Yuan Shin Kai, considered
by those who know China to be the
greatest man IN the country. is being
increased at tremendous rate, and the
government is putting great deal OF
money into its main fighting force.
Yuan is viceroy OF the province OF Chi
ii, in which Pekin is situated. He has
very great influence and his main poll
cy seems TO be to increase the army.
This fact, coupled with the show of fol-
eign hatred, which is becoming more
and more apparent, makes the situation
serious.
Tank Shao Vi is rapidly becoming
one OF the most powerful men in China.
Not only has he an enormous salary as
viceroy, but he 10 also vice president OF
the foreign office and director general
of the railway between Hankow and
tskin, and occupies the same position
in regard to the railroad from Pekin tc
Niu Chwang.

coast, where the Lutin is supposed to
have sunk. the chances OF raising the

with the certainty that the crew of the
Lutin had perished.

SEAL RAID DELIBERATE.
Japanese Crew Compelled Captain to
Consent to Slaughter.


Victoria, B. c., Oct. 17.-Clear evil
dence is forthcoming by advices receiv-
ed today by the steamer Empress OF Ja-
pan that the raid on st. Paul island by
Japanese sealers was premeditated, and
the statement that the Japanese landed
for water and were treacherously fired
upon bv the Americans, as reported by
the Japanese government by directors
of the raiding schooner, is shown to be
untrue. Hunters of the raiding schoon.
er, Toye No. 2. which appeared of St.
Paul island two days before the raid,
went to the captain with the ultimatum
that unless he permitted them to go
ashore and club seals on the rookery,
they would refuse to work and compel
him to return. The master agreed.
Further discussion took place as to the
division of prospective spoils, and
knives were drawn. At midnight a
boat was lowered with the oarlocks
mo filed and sent in, the vessel being
but mile from the rookery in the fog.
-Four other boats followed.

BILE to continue salvage operations until
day. The tugs and torpedo boats, how
ever, will remain through the night
near the place where the Lutin made
her final plunge.
One of these boats reports that it's
drag encounters resistane as though a
vessel were lying at the bottom. The
government salvage steamers belonging
to this port, will return in the morning
and participate in the work.
The British consul general here pro-
posed to the French resident general te
telegraph to the British admiralty al
Malta for salvage and assistance. This
offer was accepted.
