vIcERoY RUNS FROM ENVOY
Ruler of Canton Province Prefers
Not to Meet Emissary of
Emperor.

HONG KONG, May 5.-(Special Cable
gram TO The Bee.)-The Viceroy Ts'en
left Canton last week FOR the ostensible
purpose OF making a tour Of inspection Of
the province. The real reason, however
for his departure affords an instructive
example of the Chinese system of govern
Snent-
Under orders from the throne, the
Nanking viceroy'o delegate arrived IN
Canton with instructions to inquire into
and report upon the causes Of the recent
friction between the viceroy and the mer-
chants and gentry with regard to the
provision OF funds for the proposed rail-
way between Han-Kau and Canton under
native control. The viceroy does not
condescend TO meet the delegate, and
therefore absents himself. Meanwhile, Of
fetal views and public opinion in the
three provinces concerned continue to dis
agree, and the whole question is in a
state OF hopeless confusion.
The viceroy proposes to ntemorialize the
throne to remove the capital Of Kwang-si
from Kwoi-lin to Manning, and prep
arations are now being made to establish
settlement and to open custom house
at the latter place. Experts report that the
prospects Of steam navigation of the river
above wu-chaw are not promising. Never
theless the proposed change will evidently
be beneficial so far as commercial and ad
minlstrative purposes are concerned. II
is noteworthy that Manning was declared
an open port by imperial edict in Febru
ary 1899

LOCAL NAVY FOR AUSTRALIA
Torpedo Boats and DestrOyers Will
BE Built by the southern
Confederation.

SYDNEY. May 5.-(Special Cablegram to
The ee)-According to advices received
here from Captain w. r. Cresswell. director
of naval forces the long discussed project
of a local navy for the Australian COM
monwealth is about to materialize.
Captain Cresswel has made the rounds
Of the important naval building yards on
the Tyne and Clyde and has now for
warded specifications and estimates for the
construction of four torpedo boats to SEN
ator Thomas Playford. with whom rests
the responsibility of definitely placing the
orders. II is not suggested that this force
should I'm any way be a substitute for the
British Australian squadron. 1t will be
merely supplementary to 1t.
Captain Cresswell, in the course of his
report. very clearly explains the views of
the authorities upon the subject of the
proposed local navy,
'Our idea," he said. 'ls to assist the inn
perial fleet. and not to supersede 1t. Our
navy will stand in the same light TO the
British feet that solitary watchman in
a warehouse does to the organized police
system.
I'VE propose to begin by building up a
torpedo hotilla The estimates will come on
for discussion by the middle of June. and
/ think may say that the scheme pro-
pose will be adopted. The additional ex.
penditure incumbent upon the common
wealth will be about 10000 per annum."
Sir George S. Clark OF the imperial de-
fense. council. with whom Captain Cress
well has been in consultation, is under
stood to favor this scheme

EGYPTIAN MOSLEMS UNEASY

ALEXANDRIA, May 5.-(special Cable
gram TO The Bee.)-Symptoms of political
restlessness have been observable lately
in leading native circles In Cairo and Alex
andria. These are taken as Indicative Of
sympathy with the recent Turkish sggres-
sion on tho Egyptian frontier. In the
training colleges this movement has taken
the form OF strikes by students. The ring
leaders have been punished and others have
received cautions. The native press has
become emboldened in criticism OF British
rule.
All this Is tending to create an unwhole-
some excitement among the MOslem popu-
lation, stimulated also In the mosques by
the religious leaders.
The influences at work are so strong
that II Is quite on the cards that the gov
ernment will be asked TO send reinforce

Utah society Claims 90 Have over
Hundred Thousand Converts
In England.

LONDON. May 5.-Cspecial Csblegram to
The Bee.)-The Mormons are conducting a
really active and aggressive campaign in
the heart Of London.
Joseph Smith found the gospel written
in Egyptian characters and letters OF gold
on tablets in the state Of New York"
said missionary at mass meeting held
in connection with the semi-annual con
ference Of the London society in Ftnsbury
town hall. There is evidence that the lost
ten tribes Of Israel went to America and
that the red Indians are descended from
Israelitish stock"
Elder Miles j. Jones presided over the
meetings and the principal speaker was
President Heber J. Grant OF Utah. who
was regarded with reverence on account
of his personal acquaintance with the
prophet
challenge was thrown by one OF the
American elders: Il challenge the world
for proof that Joseph Smith is not a
prophet and that Mormonism Is not true,
he said Il will give any one S1oO who will
prove those things"
There were no takers. but one woman
created a diversion by boldly remarking
that the Latter Day Saints were false
prophets.
She was crushed by the speakers, who one
after another volubly asserted the divinity
of Joseph Smith and the truth Of the
gospel of the Book of Mormon. There was
a little excitement for time. but it soon
died away, the interrupter contenting her
self with making the one protest.
The London Mormons claim that they
are not polygamsts They claim that since
| 1900 no member of the sect has married
more than one wife. and this has, the
missionaries assert, conduced to the rapid
! spread OF their doctrine. They claim 12O, ,0O(

PREss COMMENT
Telegram Of Kaiser to Italian Leader
Places HiEu In Peculiar
LiRbt.

BERLIN May 5.-CSpecial Cablegram to
The Bee)-It would be dlficult TO imagine
anything more undignihed than the press
controversy which has arisen over Emperor
Williams characteristic telegram to Count
Gcluchowski and it's supposed bearings
upon the relations Of Germany with italy.
The German press has hardly ceased at
tacking Russia for having, as 1t alleges
been guided at Algeciras by loyalty to her
French ally rather than by gratitude 10
her German neighbor, and the indigauon
of the German financial world has just been
excited by the vindictive action of the gov
eminent in prohibiting the new Russian
loan And now. in the most Illogical fash
ion. Italy is attacked for having pursued
in a similar dilemma precisely the same
course which Russia is condemned for not
having adopted II Russia had supported
Germany at Aigeciras 1t would be easy to
imagine the French press-if only the
French press could so far forget the ma
tional dignlty-addressing Russia In Ian
guaEe like that which the Berlin Post en-
ploys toward Italy.
Italy" says the Post will have to de-
eide it's future for itself, and IL It thinks
that to be the satellite of France and Eng
land will pay It better than the old policy
OF the triple alliance very well. But no one
has any right to assert that Italy has been
driven to take this course by inconsider-
ate treatment at the hands of Germany
The same Berlin journal denies that the
German emperor manifested any lack OF
eympathy in connection with the eruption
of Mount Vesuvius. He only could not
help asking whether German sympathy
would nowadays be properly appreciated
in Italy"
II is a fact that the real results OF the
Morocco conference are only allowed to
appear in subordinate clauses Of the Ger
man comments. The disproportion between
the means employed in the spring and the
| summer of 1905 and the specific results
achieved after year OF international dis
turbance is too apparent to escape critic
! ism, and il also evokes involuntary con
| fesslons with regard to the real object OF
the German action. There is no reason Il
| is declared, to believe that the pacific dec
lsrations of Prince Bulow in April, 1901, OF
the subject of Germany's attitude towards
the Anglo French Moroccan agreement
were not sincere The idea that the agree
ment ought to have been officially commu
nicated to Germany was mere after
thought and had no foundation In TN

After a thorough personal examination
Of John Alexander Dowie we found him
