MONEY IS SCARCE
 IN PEK|NG, CHINA
Royal Families and Manchu NobleS DeStitute-- Funds Lacking

Picking, Jan. 2S. (By MaiD--Mem- bers of the royal family and other Manchu nobles who are totally de- pendent upon the central government of the republic for their living allow ances, are finding themselves desti- ute of the necessities of life, due to the non- payment of their means of sustenance. Lack of clothing and foodstuffs is making their situation desperate and they are consequently clamoring for extra allowances which it is the custom for them to receive at the time of the Chinese New Year.
 Auction Curios.
 A petition has been addressed to the president requesting that the ar rears of pay due to the Imperial household and amounting to some S2,000,000 be remitted as soon as possible with view to relieving the distress of the royal family as well as of the Manchu officials connected with the household.
 Recent auctions of the priceless Chinese curios in the possession of the representatives of the old regime have been held with this same pur- pose in view. Imperial treasures which have always been the personal belongings of the empress of the Ching Dynasty have been sold to the highest bidder in order to relieve the pecuniary distress of the present day members of the dynasty.
 Teachers Pay Due
 Teachers in the eight government in o F 10 hind in the pay due them from the central government that they have again and again threatened to strike and have only been kept in office by the repeated promises of the officials of the Ministry of Education that their arrears of salary would soon be forthcoming. The approach of the Chinese New Year has made the teachers situation desperate but their final demands brought forth the desired check for s220,000, which represented at least part payment When, however, these checks were presented at the bank for payne ent the bank refused to honor them, stating that the Ministry of Finance had no funds on hand to cover them
 Checks Cancelled.
 Every attempt on the part of the teachers to cash their checks met with failure and on the eve of the New Year they announced that unless their checks were immediately honored or. they were paid in specie in some other way. they would re- sign their positions in favor of those who could afford to hold them with out pay.
 Seize Salt Revenue.
 I,aval officers have taken the mat

ter of delayed pay Into their own hands and seized the salt revenue in the Province Of Kiangsu in order to make mp the arrears which the gov ernment seemed unable to pay Their action, they announcd, was caused by absolute necessity, they had not re- oeiyed any pay for seven months and they were only too willing to turn back what they had taken from the salt revenue if their pay was forth coming through regular channels,
 The military governor Of kiangsu telegraphed the Central Government that he himself would seize $700,o0O of salt revenue In order to pay the navy If the government found itself unable to cope with the situation.

NARROWED SAILORS
 SAVED BY A MATCH
Bit of Sulphur Cause Of Lost and Half Starved Men Being Rescued

Honolulu, T. H., Feb. 23.--(By Mai)-A lone match, saved carefully in tincan to prevent it from be- coming wet was the instrument that resulted in the rescue of four of the five members of the Jal2nesc fishing vessel Ebisu Maru No. 1, after they had been marooncd fifteen days on wind and stormswept coral reef in the South Seas with no shelter, few clothes and little food or water, ac- cording to the story they told when they were brought back to Honolulu aboard the Ebisu Maru No. 2 which had been sent to rescue them. The fifth member of the crew, M. Miyasaki the engineer, was washed away and drowned. His body was not recover ed.
 Wrecked in storm
 The fishing craft left here last year for Neckar island, considerably south of Honolulu, and after unsuccessful casts sailed farther south on January |1S. Ten days later in a heavy storm she struck a coral reef off Sand island near French Frigate shoals. Under the battering of the heavy seas, the sam pan broke up almost immediately.
 A rude raft was formed from the timbers and Captain J. Yonemoku, with rope around his waist, swan for a bar some distant away. He made the small piece of land and suc- ceeded in pulling the raft after him. Miyasaki was lost at this time. l Match Lights Fire
 For the next fiftee1. days the four men subsisted on birds they killed and a little fresh water. With their lone match they kindled fire from pieces of driftwood. This thin line of smoke was sighted by the Ebisu Maru No. 2, the rescuing vessel, which proceeded to the bar and took the four survivors aboard. A large part of the Japanese colony here was at the dock to greet the survivors when they landed from the Ebisu Maru No. ?.
