THE SAN FRANC ISCO CALL, SUNDAY, JANUARY 2, 189S. Brown, will remain there for the pres- ent. At. present there is keen interest in commercial .circles over the outcome of the efforts of Russia to_secure a Chi- nese loan ¢n ‘the onerous terms at- tempted by the Peking correspondent of the Times, who said the Chinese Government refused to place the Likin (internal reyvenuie) under foreign-con- trol as security for the loan proposed by the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank, and. asserted that uniess the loan was procurable without this conditién ar- rangements would forthwith be made for ‘a Ru Am aranteed 4 -per cent loan of 100,000,000 taels; to.be Issued at 93 net. The" security * for. this loan would be the-land tax, which would re- main under - Chinese ~ administration and China, in return, would give Rus- a the monopoly of the railroads and lines north of the Great Wall, open a port as a terminus of the. Siberian Railroad and would agree that a: Rus- sian should succeed r Robert Hart as director -of the.

The financial barometer does not show any trepidation, consols even im- proving. There is not the slightest sign of the selling which always marks real clouds on the political horizon and th : are signs of reaction in the long- continued depreciation in land. Farms are selling and renting more freely and at higher pric The improvement is attributed partly to the rise in the price of wheat and partly to the cheap- ness of money. - Capitalists are glad even of the beggarly interest ylelded by land investmen a AMERICAN FLEET IN CHINESE WATERS TO BE STRENGTHENED. It Is Said in Official Circles at Washington That the Step Has No Particular Signifi- cance at This Time. WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.—It is prob- able that the cruiser Olympia will shortly be replaced as the flagship of the -Chinese squadron by the battle- ship Oregon, now undérgoing final re- pairs at Puget Sound. ~ The Olympia has been on the Chinese station for about tw, and is said to require constderable overhauling of her boilers and. machinery. _ Her relief by the larger and more. powerful warship would have no more significance ‘than a natural desire to.show:a first-class battle-ship of the United States navy in waters never before visited by one. In strengthening her naval forces in China the United States would only be following the example of the European powers, and it is not at all improbable that an emergency may .arise which will render the services of a_swrong naval force extremely desirable and advantageous to ‘the large commercial interests of the United States.in that quarter of the globe. It is beliéved at the Navy Department that the change recently ordered in the command of the Asiatiq fleet has already occurred, and that Commodore Dewey has *relieved "Admiral McNair of the command of that station. Thé new- commander-in- chief is well known in this vicinity through his long. service on -the Light House Board and afterward as presi- dent of the Naval Inspection Board. AMERICAN INTERESTS TO0 BE SAFEGUARDED “BY NEW TREATIES. What Will Follow if the Powers of Europe Decide to Divide China Up Among Themselves. NEW YORK, Jan. 1.—A Washington special to the Herald says: “If Ching is divided up among the powers, ouf own history and the precedent we have established with reference to Hawaii will compel us to negotiate new treaties with the several powers which take Chinese territory.” This statement was made to me by an official of the administration who has discussed the Eastern situaticn with the President. As a result of Cabinet discussion, it has been decided that the United States will take no part in the partitioning of China, ex- cept to see that Americans and their interests are not injured. The Ameri can fleet in Asiatic waters will be ready to protect Americans and their interests in case of necessity. It is the commercial aspect of thc situation whkich the authorities ar. watching with much anxiety. If the European governments take.possessior «of Chinese territory they will put 3z force in such territory their own cue toms and revenue laws, which will, of course, be morc stringent than those 1: operation under the present govern ment of China. 1In addition, it would be necessary fo.

In’ connection with the Hawaiian controversy, it -has been argued by Secretary. -Sherman that all treaties between Japan —and Ha in support of this statement he quoted this recognized principle of interna- tional law: “Obligations ~of treaties, even where some of their stipulations are in their terms perpetual, expire in case either of the comtracting parties loses its existence as an independent state, or in case its internal constitu- tion is so changed as to render the treaty inapplicable to the new condi- tion of things.” While the. President -has formulated | no definite plans, and will not do so | until the partition of China is an ac- complished fact, there is reason to be- lieve that once the dissolution of China is decided upon negotiations will be commenced with the powers taking ter- ritory, which ‘will have as their object the protection of American interests.

We: -hove - to- for her, our position then heing about thirty miles off Cape Disappointment. We were held outside three days and then sailed into the mouth of the river on the af- ternoon of the 30th. Ve came to an- chor near Sand Island, -alongside of buoy. No. & A gale sprung up from the northeast and we.parted both an- chors. ~ All we could do was to put up sticks and go to sea again. “This afternoon. we. were towed by the tug Fearless, thankful that we were all safe and sound. When we came in t ships outside waiting to.come into the harbor, and last night there were stil] three lying outside of us. The way the tides are now there is no back water in the daytime, as the tides and currents are very swift. I understand this is the reason why it will be imposible to tow ships in the daytime for several days to come.” The steward, Gustav von Lichten- felz, states that just before the Oak- land left Astoria, on the 224 ult,; the men refused to do-duty, claiming that they ‘had been worked too hard. The ship was then leaking a little and ‘they did not want to work - the - pumips. Tyice on the high seas afterward they refused on the same.grounds. Once they would not set the topsails when ordered by the mate, and on the very morning on which the ship was abandoned they declined to. work the pumps. ' The ship was so waterlogged that it would have made no difference. The_captain was determined to do all he could to save his vessel. For two days the steward worked up to his knees in water in his galley, but could not keep fire enough to cook with. Two steamers southbound passed them, one just before they abandoned the ship and one just After they were rescued by the Laura May. The news has just been received here ©of the wrecking and foundering of the gasoline launch Keystone, belonging to McGowan & Sons, the cannery men.,| The Keystone left South Bend on the afternoon of the 30th, bound for Astoria. She reached about fifteen ‘miles south, or about off the Columbia River, where she ran up against a strong east wind and could make no seadway. The waves were breaking high and flooded her with water. About that time the schooner Melancthon came along, bound from San Francisco to South Bend.” Captain Maupin jumped : from his launch aboard the ichooner. Just as he did so the Key- ‘tone sank beneath his feet, never to ppear again. Captain Maupin was taken back to South Bend, but it is not learned whether he had a ecrew with him or not.

Her visits were unheralded. ‘The sur- prise was absolute. Empty cupboards were filled with food, raggedstockings werg filled with toys. - Parents wept with joy, and miserable little people awoke and stared as they saw a Santa Claus such as they had never heard of dispensing candies and toys such as they had wistrully longed for.

She is a very clever actress, who, by-the- by, says that she will never forget the hospitality of California. _ She visited the coast some years ago with the members of the New York Press Club. Howard Gould gave a sumptuous Christmas dinner to a small coterie of friends. Katherine Clemmons, the actress, who is a Californian, acted as hostess, and the live journals have amused themselves with a revival of the old yarn that the young million- aire and the beautiful Thespian are secretly married. Wise men of the m;rld know better and wonder at the tale. A curlous story is published this morning — a case of ‘‘cherchez la femme.” The Khedive of Egypt has a brother—Mahomet Ali—who is the heir apparent. There have been re- ports recently that Mahomet Ali had practically abdicated his rights by some mysterious action. It is now stated that the deed in question-is his betrothal to an Ameérican heiress—Mlss Lillie Winamaker, daughter of’ John, the great merchant of Philadelphia. The story is told circumstantially. It is probably untrue, but makes good reading nevertheless. ‘Wanhamaker, commercial * eircles in this city cannot get over their surprise that he has succeeded so well with his New York venture.
