SITUATION IN CHINA.
Revolution in Truman and Kwansi of
Serious Nature.

Shanghai, March 21.-The situa-
ton resulting from the revolution in
the provinces of Yunnan and Kwansi
is considered most serious. Rumors
are in circulation that the provinces
of Human and Kiangsi will shortly
join the rebels, while doubts are ex-
pressed as to the loyalty of Lungchi
Kwang, governor of Kwantung, owing
to the disappearance of his son, who
was held as hostage in Picking.
Former Premier Tang Shao vi and
DR.. WI Ting deny that negotiations
to effect compromise of the situa-
ton are in progress between the in
habitants of Yunnan and President
Yuan Shi Kai.
Tung-Hualung, recently minister
of communications, and brother of
the governor of Yunnan, has tele-
graphed Yuan Shi Kai, declaring that
the president has violated his oath
to maintain the republic, and that,
even if he has Cancelled his proposed
return of the country to monarchy,
nobody will trust him. Therefore, he
warns Yuan Shi Kai to plan his own
safety in retirement.

SAND BEDS FOUND.
Gravel Supply Sufficient for Fifty
Years Found in Potomac.

According to statement made by
an official of one Of the sand and
gravel dredging concerns, the sand
companies now have no anxiety as
to the future supply of the material.
For several years past representative
es Of the companies have been pros
pecting along the river few miles
below this city for sand and gravel
beds and recently supplies large
enough to last so years were located
Deals for the sand rights on the beds
now are in progress. Until they are
closed the officials of the sand COM
panies will not discuss the location
of the beds.
Recently Louis Smoot started work
on new bed located on the Maryland
side of the river, between River View
and the mouth Of Broad creek, and
fine quality sand and gravel, it is
stated, was brought to this city from
these beds. For many years the bulk
of the sand and gravel used in this city
was obtained from beds along the
Georgetown channel, but this supply
was exhausted severa: years ago. The
sand companies then had to look fur
Their down the river for a supply
of the material.

ANOTHER GIRONDiST.
(Richmond Journal).


Even DR.. Thomas Semmes, as
pure and high soul as lives, cannot
escape calumny. He is rebuked in the
Richmond Virginian Mt some length
by that most eminent, energetic and
elevated of moralists and most cop
ious producer of prohibition litera-
turc, Mr.. W. NJ. Bickers. DR.. Sem
mes offcnse is that he holds to the
pcrnicious and degrading habit, which
some very respectable denominations
believe was originated by the Great
Founder of Christianity, Of using fer
mcnted wine for Holy Communion.
DR.. Semmes, who is an honorcd
clergyman, Of the Episcopal church,
will learn, after while, a very old
lesson. It is that those who embark
with fanatics and extremists must be
prcpared to go 10 the final limit, to

PASSING OF
Won TIRPITZ.

The papers generally seem to re.
gard the retirement Of Won Tirpitz as
likely to result in far less friction
with this country nm matters con-
corning the sea activities of Germany
1t is suggested that the resignation
of Grand Admiral Won Tirpitz is de-
cisive political victory for the Ger
man Imperial Chancellor and the
Foreign Secretary. 1t is likewise a
new assurance of peace between Ger.
many and the United States.
Tirpitz has been the leader of the
anti-lAmerican party in German poll
tics. This party has been aggressive
ly in favor of war with the United
States rather than restrict the use Of
submarines to the limitations of III
ternational law.
Twice the Tirpitz party brought
Germany and the United States to the
verge of war. but the Kaiser's sup
port of Bethmann-Hollweg and Herr
Won Jagow made is possible to main
tain peace.
The resignation of Tirpitz shows
plainly enough. where the Kaiser
stands on the. issue. He is with the
Chancellor and the Foreign Secretary
in preferring friendly relations with
the United States. 1t may be extraya-
gent to think that the crisis has pass
ed with the passing of the Grand Ad-
miral, but it is safe to say that there
is probably less danger now OF
break with Germany than at any
other time since the sinking Of the
Lusitania.
Admiral Won Tirpitz has become a
physical and mental wreck by brood
ing over the deaths Of scores Of his
closest friends in the Germany navy:
according to reports in general CIR
culation in diplomatic and military
circles in Luccrpe and Bernc.
Won Tirpitz is said to resemble IN
sensitiveness the great Japanese mill
tary leader Nogo, who, overwhelmed
by the memory of vast losses OF.
Japanese soldiers he sent against
Port Arthur, including two OF his
sons, committed suicide upon the
death of the late japanese Emperor.
Won Tirpitz has died thousand
deathsasinee, the war began. lie has
babe farewell to hundreds of splendid
young submarine officers, who went
out to perish miserably under the
water. The code among German sub
mariners rcqpircs that they shoot
themselves when the situation of their
boa: becomes hopeless.
1t is known beyond doubt that
Won Tirpitz felt himself living in a
world of horrors. Even the Kaiser
himself was unable to calm his SELF
rcproach.
German military men say the Lusl-
tania incident was the beginning OF
Won Tirpitz's breakdown. He did not
visit the admiralty Office for three
days after the liner and it's helpless
human cargo went down. Each new
sinking Of passenger boat only IN
creased his depression.
The strain became too much aho
his collapse followed.
