From tn" Tribune bureau
Washington. July 2o-Each day brings
reports 10 the Department OF State which
show tnat the revolution In China is
growing formidable and It is with con-
siderable anxiety that officials are now
watching Developments. II Is agreed here
that the disturbances involve the whole
future of China. from the point of view
not only o, the continuation OF the re-
public. bat from that of the continuation
OF the country as an intact political en-
tity.
The department learned to-day that the
Province OF KvauE-Tung- OF which
wealthy and populous Canton is the capi-
,ul. has declared ITSELF independent Of the
central government \ report was also
received that tho Province OF Fu-Kien
has also revolted IN a formal manner.
Canton will shortly send fifteen thousand
troops 20 the north. and Fu-kien will
also. no doubt. supply large quota. as

Japsn's Financial Aid.

The Japanese government did not openly
cspouse the cause of the revolutionists.
but n II had made objection 10 It's mcr-
chants and capitalists who were engaged
IN violations of neutrality tho traffic could
not have been carried on. IL was an
open bccret in China that the Japanese
were rendering such help. but Il was
never so fully proved as last March
when Dr sun Yat-scu. the revolutionary
leader. publicly thanked prominent Jap
auose merchant named Okura for his kind
financial assistance during the revolution.
During the Manchu revolution the Jap
,nese government played both ends OF
th, game. keeping IN close touch with
the impcrialists through the legation In
Pcking. while citizens OF Nippon were
giving every aid t. the revolutlonists in
the south. TIE Japanese government out
wardly held aloof during the last revolt
and took no advantage OF the turmoil
to advance It's own ends, such as seizure

iRAINMEN NOT TO CHANGE
1udge Chambers Sees Elisha
Lee in Hurried Trip Through
City-Prospects for Immedi-
ate Arbitration, 1t Is Said,
Are Much Improved.

Judge William Lea Chambers. COM
missioner of the Federal Board Of
Mediation and Cancellation, arrived in
New York yesterday noon from Wash

with Elisha Lee chairman Of the rail-
road managers conference committee,
for a conference to-day, left town i'm

Later in the day G. w W. Hanger,
assistant commissioner OF the board,
accompanied by Judge Martin A.

Court. arrived in the city and went To
the Hotel Manhattan. where reserva-
ton also was made for Judge Cham

Il is generally believed that it will

will consent 10 withdraw the eight
grievances they desire 10 have arbi-
trated along with the demands Of the
conductors ard trainmen.
A. B. Garretson, president Of the
brotherhood of Conductors, told report
ers last night that the position Of the
men as unchanged and that they
never would gree TO the arbitration OF
the eight railroad grievances in con-
nection with'the wage dispute.
Elisha Lee, for the railroads, last

roads would insist on arbitrs tion Of
their demands at this time. He ad-
mitted that he would meet Commis-
sioner Chambers to-day to present the
railroads side Of the dispute. but he
refused 10 say where the conference
would be held.
While the labor leaders said they be
leyed the railroads would decline TO
recede from their position, other well
Informed persons said the railroads
probably would pave the way Tor i'm

mands by Withdrawing their eight
grievances.
II this was done. it was said the
railroads could give the employees
thirty days' notice Of their intention

expiration of that period bring their
grievances before the federal commits
sioners.

reached to-day q truce will he declared

credited representatives Of the employ

II is further provided that the find

Merchants Aaainst Revolt.

The foreign commercial community IN
shanghai and elsewhere will be against
the revolt More important still will he
the unpopularity of the revolt with the
merchant class Of the Chinese them
selves The last revolution had the
sympathy and support Of most Of the
merchants These contributed literally
20 the revolutionists. while those who
were not inclined to give their money
had II taken away from them by rough
soIdiery with the hearty approval Of the
populace generally. But II j now well
known that the merchants generally
have no taste for further revolt no mat
ter how popular IL may be with the po-
litical leaders.
II may be that the political reNolution-
lists will he able 20 procure enough
moncv 20 meet their immediate needs
through lcvying forced tax. That they
will resort to this method Is certain.
They will also no doubt issue notes,
which their soldiers will force upon the
people.

Cessant violation of neutrality was an

entire sympathy and support Of the for

not only the gun sellers and persons who

but also the large banks and commercial

some of the legations in Peklng into

that the revolutionists will again resort
TO these tactics and some decision VIII

South Objected to Loan.
