development has been done ut this lev

tary to the old shaft, such work being
deferred until the new shaft is down
there. Although the shaft house and
power plant may be finished by De

will probably be governed by condi-
tions of the metal market. About 1900

CHINA THREATED BY
 GROWING HOSTILITIES


 Picking, February 10-Indications are not wanting in these days of growing Hostility throughout the country not only to the granting of foreign railway con sessions but even to obtaining money from abroad for the construction of the lines which the government is anxious to build. The student body of the prov ,ince of Sinldang has issued what amounts to proclamation, practically threaten ing the government with war should fur ther loans be arranged with foreigners. Constant threats upon the lives of min isters are indications of the present hos tilities to what Is considered the asgres- sion of foreigners upon the integrity of China. The members of the government appear to be seriously hampered though in the opinion of the diplomats here strong policy would dissipate or crush all absurd hostility
 It is the declared policy of .hc govern ment to proceed with the building Of railroads, believing them to be essen t.al to the very object which the people desire-the strengthening of China.

 Either the yellow peril was a handi- cap for the affirmative. or the negative debaters were extremely good takers, for the judges decided in favor of the latter. Chester Whitehead and Laur- ence Gregory spoke for the affirmative and the opposing arguments were made by Everett Harris and Leo Karpeles
 That the Hilliard is making its mark among the boys of literary learnings in the High school was evidenced by the unusually large attendance yester- day. Not only was the assembly room of the club filled with members, but ten new candidates for membership were voted on and received into the so- ciety
