THE EMPRESS
To ABDICATE
Is It Chinese Affairs
Which Bring the
Fleet?

SHANGHAI. August 15.-The En-
press Dowager will abdicate in favor
of the Emperor, next Chinese New
Year, March IL.
| WASHINGTON, August At is
China, and not even remotely Japan,
that has aroused the concern of the
Washington authorities in connection
with choosing the Pacific as the next
practise ground for the big battleship
| squadron, according to the deductions
| of some students of affairs in the Far
| East. China as an entity, it is be-
lieved in certain circles, is in a con-
dition as precarious as the health of
the Dowager Empress, and when the
failing health of the latter leads to its
inevitable end the empire will face a
crisis that will make it wise for the
United States to have a presentable
naval force within easy sailing dis
lance
Little regarding the situation sug-
gested by the above statement has
been spoken in official or diplomatic
circles, but commercial interests pro-
fess to have been keen observers Of
what is going on. From sources con-
nected with the latter comes the re-
port that some time ago the Admin
istration here was quietly apprised
that the health of the Dowager En-
press was failing fast and that when
she goes to join the Guests on High
China will become the prey of plotters
seeking to overthrow the Manchu Tar
tar dynasty. At the same time the
powers are deemed likely to take adj
vantage of the situation again by go
ing in for a partition of the empire,
the possible closing of the open door
that means so much to America and
toward securing which American
statesmen have accomplished so much. |
Whatever happens a possible attempt |
to seize the Government by a strong
leader outside the present dynasty, or |
the exerting of the influence of the |
same leader and others to restore the |
descendants of the Ming family to the |
chances are several to one /
that the powers will find an excuse to |
get into the. game to subserve their
own interests. 1t has been pointed out |
that when trouble comes the nation
that has the strongest navy in Pacific
waters viii be likely to have the most
influence with China.
The knowledge that crisis might |
be reached at any time, and in all
was not to be delayed be-
yond a comparatively few months, is
believed by many to have had a great
deal to do in determining the plans for
sending the battleship squadron to the
Pacific as soon as possible. If this
of the situation be cor
rect, it would be impossible, of course,
to get the Government authorities to
admit the real purport of the naval
movement at this stage of the pro-
ceedings. That there is to be big
mix-up over China is the firm belief of
those whose private business affairs
on a large scale embrace territory
within the empire. Americas com
mercial interests will demand, Wien
such time comes. that it exert strong
influence with Chinese statesmen and
political leaders.

THREE HILO BOYS
LOST IN OAKLAND

a late San Francisco paper contains
the following report of trouble for the
Tosh family that formerly lived in
Hilo:
"John Tosh, who lives at PA Tenth
street, Oakland, lost his family in the
twinkling of an eye and has appealed
to the ponce for help in locating the
missing ones. According to his account,
he was out shopping in the afternoon
with his three little sons and entered a
place of business, telling the little boys
to wait outside for hin. When he
came out the lads were gone. He hunt
ed high and low for them, and finally
returned home, hoping to find them
there, but nothing was seen of them.
Various policemen on adjoining beats
were notified, but they could throw no
light on the mystery. The father wait
ed patiently, thinking that perhaps the
boys had gone to relatives, but inquiry
failed to CLEAN their whereabouts.
"This morning, in desperation, he
begged Acting Chief of Police Peterson
to help him. He told the department
that his wife is almost distracted, and
fears are entertained that the lads have
fallen into evil hands. The missing
boys are described as follows: John, big
for age, aged IA years; James, dressed
in gray, ageu 8 years; Daniel, small for
his years, aged s.
''The police are inclined to think
that the children wandered off some
where unoer the leadership of the elder
brother on an exploration trip of the
city, and may have gone to San Fran
cisco. The theory of abduction is not
believed"
