Intervention 10 Feared.

Pekin.-Yuan Shi Kai, the last prop

last. He came accompanied by two
thousand troops and was warmly greet.
cd by the administration. In honor
ef his arrival an edict was issued ap-
pointing him commander of all the
troops in the vicinity of the capital.
Great efforts are being made to in.
duce him to accept the premiership,
but he has given no definite answer
- yet.
The opinion is held at the legations
that there are serious complications
In store for China and greater SUI
lsrines than she has yet endured. The
prospects Of foreign Intervention by
other powers than Russia and Japan
are beginning to be discussed. Win
ter Ia expected to terminate the
massed movement of troops, but there
will be greater death rolls through
famine. even in Chic Ii province.
The people in the central section
IRE already supplemelting their food
with the bark Of trees.
The government continue gather
ing Manchu recruits at Pekin, but
coon will be unable to meet the pay
0ents. 1t is not believed here that
the Chinese can mobilize large
enough army about Pekin to venture
IN attack, but the governments inabil-
NY to collect revenues from single
provincial capital is almost certain
sooner or later to bring about capitu-
lation.
Certain military attaches at Pekin
consider that the imperial troops at
Hankow will be lost to the govern
nent unless brought back immediate
b, but TIE government may prefer to
asave allabut the Manchus there, not
undertaking the risk of transporting
them back to the capital.
The November Boxer indemnity has
not been paid and the December in
lemnity likewise will be defaulted.
Even should the government be able to
recover the five provinces Immediately
surrounding the capital. the financial
administration cannot be recognized
before defaults of other debts besides
the indemnities occur, and it is feared
that Intervention for the collection Of
pledged revenues cannot be averted.

Elliott had busy day, being engaged

Mr.. Elliott stated emphatically there
was about to authorize an issue OF

Burlington, he stated that the meet
Ing of directors was simply for the
election of officers and that moreover,
the company is strong in cash and has
no unusual financial needs. He further
asserted that the Burlington is not
contemplating selling any treasury
bonds in the near future. Regarding
the Northern Pacific, he said that
company has no pressing need for
money, and that even in the spring 1t
would not be necessary to do more
than to sell treasury securities to nm

up at that time.

1t would appear as though the stu.
alton in China has about reached q
climax. The thoughtful and well-in'
formed men OF both sides are anxious
for q settlement. The extremists and
the ignorant masses are willing, oven
anxious, to continue the struggle for
supremacy, even though it spells ruin,

erable concessions are made by both

while provincial governments have or.

Il is feared, it will be impossible to

Throughout the newly reconstructed
provinces business is being carried on
spasmodically, but the tension is In.
croasing as the scarcity Of food and
money is felt in the entire southern
section, and particularly in Shanghai,
where 1t is estimated the population
Vas increased by 100000 in the last
week.
This is regarded as one Of the most
dangerous features of the situation.
Unless the self-restraint of the mob is
greater than is believed, the continued
sbsence of organized government can
not fail to result disastrously.

Growth In Population.


when the Northern Pacific was
completed there were only a million
and quarter people in those states.
and now there are more than i've and
4 half millions, and soon it will be ten
times that number.
Promoters and early builders Of
the Northern Pacific had faith in the
country, but as all the world knows.
that company had many trials and
calculations, and was not q financial
success until after the reorganization
in 1896. Since then railroad and coun-
try have grown and improved.
Products raised on lands adjacent
to Northern Pacific rails took first
and second prizes in barley, oats, al
falfa, food plants of growing impor-
lance, not only for stock, but for man.
Winning of these prizes in competi.
ton with all the United States and
Canada shows that the Northern Pa
cific occupies territory where man can
produce the best grains, grasses and
fruits by the exercise of intelligence
and industry, and many fertile plains
and valleys OF Minnesota, North Da.
kota, Montana, Idaho, Washington and
Oregon offer unusual opportunities to
those seeking places for themselves or
their children to make homes and to
become useful citizens. For, with ma
tional growth, has come great develop
ment of schools, hospitals. and all
those forms of social activity that
make life at this time so convenient
and luxurious compared with 80 year,
ago."
