CHINA CLOSELY WATCHED
Officials Prepared to Act for the
Safety of Missionaries.

Washington. Sept State and Navy
dc partment officials are watching tine stu
alton in China closely. Admiral Hubbard
commanding the American naval forces in
the Far East, has not reported to the
Navy Department what measures he has
adopted for the protection of the Amer
lean missionaries rumored to be threat
ened in Sze-chuen Province. in accordance
with yesterdays Instructions Acting Sec
rotary Winthrop to-day had on his desk n
list Of the American warshlps in Chinese
and Philippine waters, showing Just where
each ship was at the last report The
number of vessels is considerab BILE, but not
many Of them are Of sufficiently light
draft 10 navigate the upper reaches and
tributaries Of the Yang-tse Kiang in the
disturbed province.
state Department officials most familiar
with conditions In China are not greatly
alarmed for the safety Of foreigners in
SZe-chuen. They believe that the agita-
ton "a directed more against the Chinese
against the missionaries who have recently
been on a particularly favorable footing in
their relations with the natives and have
not been concerned In the projected ex-
tension Of railroads In the province.
Toronto, Sept. S-A reassuring message
from West China was received by the
Methodist Foreign Mission Board to-day.
The dispatch. which was from DR.. D. L.
Kilborn. corresponding secretary II the
West China Missionary Council. reads:
AN well here. There are no disquietng
rumors TO amount to anything in West
China. We trust TO get through summer

been engrossed in her preparations for
Carmen with which she is to open the

ANTI-LAURIER MEN HOPEFUL
See Indications That Ministers
Are Weaker than They Profess.

Montreal Sept s. - Three government
ministers to date have accepted nomina-
lions i'm two separate constituencies: SIT
Vilfrld I.aurier in Soulangcs and In que
hec East: Or. Henri S. Beland, Postmaster
General in Beauce and Ia Montmagny "a
Nationalist STRONGHOLD, and Rodolph Le-
mieux. Minister Of the Navy and Fisheries,
in Rouville and in Gaspe.
The nomination Of the ministers in these
double constituencies is being construed
by the Opposition as an evidence OF weak
ness. for If the election should be a close
one II will deprive the Liberals or three
votes in the Arst division of the House as
suming that the ministers arc elected III
both constituencies for which they are
running. Under the rules member OF
Parliament cannot resign until a Speaker
has been elected, and II is foreseen that III
case the parties are closely divided the test
vote will come on the election OF Speaker.

EXPLAINS SPLIT WITH RECORDS
Business Manager of Chicago Opera
COMPANY Says It Was Inevitable.

Max Hirsch. busiess manager of the Chi
cago Opera Company. said yesterday that
the break between the Chicago Opera Com
pany and the Records. publishers of the
Puccini operas, had been coming for many
a year. He declared that the Records ex-
actions had become unbearable, and that
the break had become inevitable.
The Records undertook to tell US what
we should and what We should not do
said Mr.. Hirsch. They wanted us to pro-
duce certain operas; they insisted on GER
tain number of performances for each, and
IN every way they tried to control us. We
could not submit and keep our self-respect
We will do without the Pucclni operas"
II was also learned that Oscar Hammer
stein would not produce any of the Puc-
cIni works at his new opera house In Lon
don. At the Metropolitan, however. they
will be sung as usual
