Trouble Coming When
Empress Dies.
Strong Fleet i'm the Pacific Would
Have Owerfui Influence
with MOngols.

WASHINGTON, Aug 1t 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 practice ground
for a big battleship squadron, according
to the deductions Of some students of
affairs in the Far East. China as an
entity, it is believed in certain circles,
is in condition as precarious as the
health of the Dowager Empress, and
when the failing health of the latter
| leads to it's inevitab BILE 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 distance.
Little regarding the situation sug-
gested by the above statement has
been spoken in official or diplomatic
circles, but commercial interests profess
to have been keen observeas of what is
going on. From sources connected with
the latter comes the report that some
time ago the administration was quietly
apprised that the health of the Dow
ager Empress was failing fast and that
when she goes to join 1.-THE guests on

At the same time the powers are

Whatever happens, the possible at

nasty. or the exerting of thu influence
of the same leader and others to re-
store the descendants of the old Ming
family to the throne, the chances are
several to one that the powers will
find an excuse to get into the game to
subserye their own interests. 1t has
been pointed out that when trouble

navy in Pacific waters will be likely to

it would be impossible, of course, to get
the Government authorities to admit |

at this stage of the proceedings.
That there is sooner or later to be

lief of those whose private business
affairs on a large scale embrace the
territory within the empire. Americas
commercial interests will demand, when

influence with the Chinese statesmen
and political leaders.
