CHINA ON VERGE

Secret Organizations Daily Add Mem

Army, Too, Is Infected.

BERLIN, Aug. 19.-A special dis

says that the situation i'll China, especi-
ally in the Nangtse valley, continues I'M
satisfactory. 1t is impossible, the mes
sage adds, to say whether or not gen
eral outbreak is impending, but the revo-
lutionary movement gains strength daily
and the secret organizations are growing
vsibIy.
The Chinese officials say that thou
sands of revolutionists are concealed i'll
the foreign quarters of the cities, thus
placing themselves outside the jurisdic-
zion of the Chinese courts.
The revolutionary agitation recently
was carried into the army. The provin-
cial officials are doing their utmost TO
suppress the revolutionary movement,
and promote reforms, but they felt
themselves helpless.

DYNAMITE SHIP
CAUSES TERROR.
a!ize Shipping Off Philadelphia
Sailor is Panic Stricken

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Aug. 49,
Six hundred tons of dynamite on board
the British steamship Westhampton,
bound for Colon, and a heavy fog on the
Delaware combined to throw sailors on
river and bay into panic early Sunday
1t was sighted about 2 O'Clock Satur-
day morning from Reedy island in the
Delaware and from that point all follow
ing vessels We're warned of the floating
mine ahead of them.
The minute the news reached ship
its rate of speed would be lowered and
the foghorn started going at a lively
rate. Many vessels stopped altogether
and only started again on receiving an
exact description Of the ship, its prob
able speed and location.
Shipowners in the city who got wind
of the danger to their vessels kept the
wires to Delaware breakwater and
Reedy island humming with inquiries as
to the whereabouts of their cargoes.
Even after the fog questions did not
cease and it was not until the merchants
had been assured that their ships could
not possibly have been blown up that
they ceased their inquiry.
1t was reported by several boats that
the night had been one of great terror
for the men. Double watches had been
kept until morning and many of the sail
Ors refused to turn in at all.

Another that will put ON stamps and drop
them in the mail box.
A conVeyer that will carry papers ana
other portable articles to every portion of
the office and factory and drop them just
where they are needed and will not loaf
or shoot craps on the way.
device that will keep books absolutely
without the aid OF any human agency

Governor SoIf of German Samoa is

conditions here He has made a study
of Hawaii and Hawaians and during
visit sought to secure enlightment about
the islands. He expressed the belief that
the conditions here as compared with
those of his government in Samoa are
idealic. There is the greatest race feel
ing in Samoa and this is one of the
difficulties with which he has to contend.
In discussing the conditions, Governor
Solf expressed the opinion that the prin-
cipal problem that the German govern
ment had to contend with in Samoa was
whether it was better for the Samoan race
to be gradually taught the methods of
civilization or an effort be made to rapid
" change their customs to conform with
the existing standards of more civilized
countries. The primary purpose of the
| German government is to perpetuate the
Samoan race.
He told an amusing story about deal

parochial schools and contribute very Ii
berally to their maintenance but they
