LOOKS FOR UPRISING
Death of Empress DoWager of China Will Bring About a
 Revolution.

San Francisco, Dec 13.-Prof D. l.. Anderson, president of Foo Chow university, who arrived here yester- day on the liner Siberia, believes that upon the death of the empress dow ager China will be the scene of a bloody revolution. That revolution, he believes, will mark China's en- trance into the parliament of the world as a power to be reckoned with.
 Prof Anderson, who has spent many years in China, says that the people of China are now wide awake to the necessity for education, that the power of the people is steadily growing, and that at the same time the populace and its rulers were drifting further apart. "The young CT generation in .China,''t he says, IS acquiring good education. A revo- lution is pending. In the nature of things 1t is bound to be a bloody one, but China will be all the better for it and in the hands of new aud enlightened administrators who will have the confidence of the people. China will be one of the greatest na- tions of the earth"

IN THE SHIPYARDS.
Japanese Naval Man Making Invest.
 cations in England.

Victoria, B. C., Dec 13.-Tha steamer Shinano, which reached port yesterday from Yokohama, brought among her passengers Commander J. Matsumura of the Japanese navy, sent to make investigation at British shipyards with regard to the new Japanese programme of naval incre- ment, and s. Sano, sent to Schenec- tady by the Japanese government ufacture of locomotives with a view to the manufacture of engines ir Japan for Japanese railroads.
 Commander Matsumura said addi- tiOns were made to the Japanese steel plant at Kure naval yards and by arrangement with the Vickers- Armstrong Co of England and the HokkaldO Coal Co at Muroran, a large private steel plant was being established to supply material for the majority of the new warships built by Japan which would here after be of Japanese manufacture. In conjunction with Japanese firms a large Glasgow firm was also estab- fishing condite factory near Tollio the commander says. For the pres ent building of warships was handi- capped, practically stopped, because of the lack of money in Japan.
 The new programme, however will include some changes, some types being eliminated. He proposes to investigate some recent submarine types and swift scout ships built re gently by England.

CAUSE OF THE PANIC.
Former Director of Mint Tells How
 To Avoid Trouble.

Chicago, Dec 13.-George E. Rob- erts, former director of the United States mint, now president of the Commercial National bank of Chi- cago, in addressing the Mems club of St Luke's Episcopal church of Evanston last night, announced that he was heartily in favor of the estab- lishment of a central governmental bank
 "The time has come," he said. when the United States must follow the example of every other important country of the world and establish a governmental bank. It should be one not antagonistic to the existing national banks, but supplementary to their system, as their crowning head, with it's capital apportioned among the 5000 national banks according to their capital. The benefits that would accrue to the country from such an institution cannot be esti- mated"
 MT Roberts placed the blame for the present panic upon the lack of any legal provision for sudden in- crease in the supply of currency.
 Il suppose it is too much to hope for any competent and efficient cur rency legislation by the next con- gress," he continued. Tt is large and cumbersome body and when you consider that there is much differ ence of opinion among bankers on the subject, it is no wonder that the congressman are confused"
