CHINA INUNDATED.

When Japan sent it's ultimatum to
China with regard to the alleged out"
RACES committed upon Japanese in
China, it was generally understood from
the reports TINT came from Toxic that
Japan did this as a vent for the futile
rage of certain Of the Jingoes Of Japan
because Of The helplessness of japan
with respect to the California anti-ahen
land legislation. II was plainly stated
in the dispatches that the heplcssness
of China would be taken advantage OF
because Japan was not able to do any
thing against the United States, and
i'm the turmoil the head Of the Japan
csc bureau of foreign affairs was as
sassinated. Accordingly, Japan made
preemptory demands, and accompanied
these demands with the arbitrary state
meut that no back talk would be toll
Grated. no excuses received, and that
China must comply with the Japanese
demands without delay.
It is now announced that China has
complied The Great Republic Of China
is down on its knees before the govern
ment Of Japan. Everything that ia
pan demands will be done by China.
The apology for the imprisonment Of
the Japanese lieutenant Mt Shan Tung
will be humbly made, The punish
mcnt Of those responsible for this and
for the alleged killing Of three Jap
ancse ut Marking will be acceded to,
and the payment Of an indempity Is
also conceded by China,
Of course China simply is compelled
to do this, being helpless from mill
tary and naval standpoint. 1t is to
be noted further, that the prompt ac-
ceptance by China Of the imperious de-
mands of Japan will probably lead to
further demands, and since tho United
the six power compact, and since none
Of the other four powers will inter
fere as between China and Japan for
China 8 protection, (since they want to
pounce on China themselves as soon
as the occasion will serve,) the fate OF
poor China is plainly determined. That
ancient empire will be divided be
tween the FIVE remaining powers. IL
China should in the meantime show
any vital recupcratlve powers and be
able to meet demands as they come
along, these, demands will simply be
increased from time to time beyond the
ability of China to pay or meet, and
tho ACKNOWLEDGMENT will come as an abb
solute necessity; and there will be a
scrambls among the five powers to get
the best grab.

SUPPOSE A CASE, NOW!

No improvement is reported In the
Mexican situation. or course not. The
demand upon Huerta for a cessation OF
fighting and an armistice was a
singularly stupid one; for Huerta would
be only too glad TO bring this about if
he could. But suppose that during
the Civil War Great Britain had de-
manded Of US cessation of fighting
and an armistice what would the Amer
Jean people have thought Of such de-
mand? And if this demand had been
accompanied with a homily on the good
intentions and altrustic benevolences
kept in mind by British statesmen,
would we not have considered that in
suit was being added to injury? And
If that would have been our feeling in
such case toward Great Britain, as it
undoubtedly would have been, how is it
that Americans are so dense that they
cannot comprehend the feeling of Mex
leans toward us, when we do to them
precisely the thing that we would have
so hotly resented if it had been done
to ourselves9

there is an immense amount of build

gloriously, and it will open the eyes

MULHALL ON THE PULL.

We sec it stated that Mulhall, who
has held the stage for some time as n
sensational witness in the investiga-
tions by the Senate, and later by the
House, is threatening to pull tho nose
of President Kirby Of the National AS
sociation of Manufacturers, No doubt
Mr.. Mulhall thinks that he can do this
with impunity, since he has been pulling
the leg Of that association for a good
many years. These hard-headed bust
ness men certainly showed amazing
credulity when they accepted Mulhall IS
reports as statements Of facts. The
idea that Mulhall with few dollars,

The great commercial agencies re-

lines. There is expansion In the fall
jobbing trade, but the breaking of
the drought in the corn belt was too
late to enlarge the yield; yet il checked
further deterioration, and was helpful

Senate, substantially in the form in
which it will finally be enacted,

Captain Robert G. Williams, who was
army paymaster in Mindanao in 1912,
was wrecked in that year, and his pay
roll receipts amounting to $S7 900, were
lost when the ship went down. And
now, since he can I show receipts for
the money, the War Department wants
him to pay the money into the U. S.
Treasury. But as there is no sort of
doubt Of his having paid the money to
the officers and men. it seems sheer per
versity to make this demand. But in
order to give Captain Williams a show,
the Department agrees to let him have
a chance TO get duplicate receipts; yet

Although the market influences
throughout the past week have been
Of a conflicting nature, the good over
weighed the adverse, and the profes-
sional element was somewhat surprised
to find the stock market almost totally
ignoring the somewhat unfavorahle gov

swing of the big markets, however,
has been so pronounced that careful
authorities believe it is time for re-
action Nothing is looked for, as far

been considerable liquidation in Lon

some expectation that the present ac-

however, Of the scarcity OF copper

has far outgrown production, so, bas-
ically, the metal outlook is most en-
