JAPAN EXTENDING
DEMANDS ON CHINA
Now Dictates Appointments of
Military Advisers and In
structors in Schools.

PEKING, September s.-In addition te
demanding police power in South Man.
churia and Inner Mongolia as one OF
the terms of the settlement of the in
cident at Chenchiatun, in eastern
Mongolia, Japan, it was learned in gov
ernment circles here today, also has
secretly suggested to China that the
employment of japanese military ad-
visers at the large Chinese centers and
of japanese instructors in the Chinese
military schools would be highly de-
sirable.
The Chinese press says the granting
of the japanese demands would mean
the abandonment of Chinese sover-
eighty in Inner Mongolia and in South
Manchuria
China's Reply Delayed.
ExPremier Tang Shao-yi, who is to
become minister of foreign affairs, has
not yet arrived from Shanghai. He Is
expected to reach the capital next week
China's reply to the Japanese demands
probably will be postponed for his con-
sideration.
China's dependency upon Japan for
money, it Is maintained in semi off icial
quarters, renders her unable to ignore
either the Japanese demands or sug-
gestions unless financial assistance is
found elsewhere.

missioner who was sent to Investigate
the incident at Chengchiatun in
which several Japanese and Chinese
soldiers were killed in a clash between

that the trouble began through a street
fight between Japanese civilian and

tempted to force their way into the
Chinese barracks to arrest the soldier
A Japanese soldier. the commissioner er
says, slashed the Chinese sentry with
q sword, whereupon firing began, which
resulted in the death of six Japanese
and four Chinese soldiers.

May Cut Off Retreat.

Not content with capturing the fortress,
the Russian commander is trying to
execute flank movement that will cut
off part of the retreating forces at point
on the railroad several miles northwest
of the city.
The right wing of the combined army
OF Pfianzer and Won Bothmer. bulwarked
by German and Turkish troops, has been
turned and thrust back from the Gniia
Lipa just outside the city limits. and the
breach thus effected may permit Letch-
itsky to drive wedge between the forces
retiring from Halicz and the main group.
On the Narayuvka the Russians appar-
entity are forging ahead as fast as the
guns can be brought UP. North Of this
region the Teuton forces are presenting
stronger resistance, but the Russians
success at Halicz will put at naught all
their efforts here and will compel them
to withdraw until the whole line of de-
fense is straightened.

HOTTEST REGION
 IN THE WORLD
ON THE EASTERN EDGE OF DEATH VALLEY IN
 CALIFORNIA.

Which is the hottest region in the worldg This question is 8 common one, and probably in most cases the person who asks it has in mind comparison of maximum rather than mean temperatures. As suming the question to be asked from this point of view, the answer to it will no doubt surprise most readers.
 So far as can be learned from ob- servations made at regular meteoro- logical stations. the hottest region in the world is not in the heart of Africa, or South America, or even in the torrid deserts of Asia-but on the eastern edge of Death Val lev. California. where a borax com pany has laid out ranch embrac- ing some 100 acres of irrigated land, on which are grown alfalfa fruit and vegetables. Although it has been stated on excellent au- thority that you cannot hold fire in your hand by thinking On the frosty Caucasus. the owners of the above-mentioned property doubtless had an analogous expedient in view when they named their estate  Greenland Ranch"
 The weather bureau has estab- lished cooperative station at this place, and the results of the obser- vations made here are discussed by Mir c. H. Wilson in the Monthly Weather Review.
 The thermometers are installed in 3 standard screen, placed over an alfalfa sod, about four feet from the ground. The shelter is not ex- posed to the reflected heat of the desert. The location is about ITS feet below sea level.
 On July 10 the maximum ther- mometer at Greenland Ranch regis tered 134 degrees Fahrenheit, the highest "shades temperature ever recorded at a meteorological sta ton anywhere in the world, and four degrees above the previous "record," observed at Mammoth Tank. also in California, on Aug. r. 1885. Outside of the United States the record" for a regular meteorological station appears to be ,127 degrees Fahrenheit, which ccS0rred at Wargia, Algeria, on the edge of the Sahara desert, Aug. 27, 1881
 :. Durin the hot spell in which this extraordinary temperature was meas ured at Greenland Ranch, the daily maxima were as follows: Eighth, t2s deg; 9th, 129 deg; 10th, 1S4 deg; 11th, 129 deg; 18th, 1sO deg; 18th, 131 deg, and 14th, 127 deg. Throughout this frightful hot wave the tempefature never fell below 85 degrees
 The records made at this station show that temperatures reaching 100 or more have occurred on 5S4 days, and may be expected at any time from April to October, inclusive; the highest occurring in July. or August. Temperatures of 120 or more have been recorded in May. June, July and August- In July and August the average daily maximum has always exceeded 10 degrees.

PLAN NEW THEATER Sylvester Howell To Build Attractive New
 Show Shop

Realizing that Nepana is destined to become city of many times its present size, and also realizing that the demand for entertainment will be corresponding ly great, Sylvester Howell, the we'll known Hot Springs mining man and Nenana property owner, has decided to erect new theater here, for moving pictures principally, but for other forms of amusement as well. It will be a real show house ill every sense of the word, and it is the intention of MT. Howell to make the new theater one of the most attractive amusement places i'll the North
 The theater will be built on two lots owned by Mir. Howell at the corner of Second and Market streets, opposite the telegraph office. It will be sufficiently large to seat 700 people, and prob ably more, for there will be roomy cir cular balcony which will seat quite a crowd in itself. Comfortable opera chairs will be installed throughout.
 Just how soon work will be started oil the new building depends largely on weather conditions, but it is probable that nothing much will be done until early spring Ill the meantime Mir. How ell will 20 Outside and attend personally to the selection Of the furnishings, some of which, at least, will be shipped in over the trail so that the theater can be opened, if conditions warrant, before the breakup.
