LONDON, Aug. 12—The Commons met to-da; questions on the of subject ment leader, Mr. Balfour, declined to ge the Government to prevent the ratification of the Franco-Belgian Pe- king-Hankow concession, but promised that, in the event of British capitalists purch ailroad concessions ob- tained by in ‘the -tse-Kiang valley, her Majesty's Government will support and assist them, both in London and Pe- king, in this and in all other legitimate British commercial enterprises.

The Daily Graphic says: “this state of things continues the guns _will go off of themselves.” " The Shanghai war correspondent of “the Daily Mail, who professes to di- LONDOX | port in person to the commanding gen- | | | vulge the terms of a long existing treaty between China and Russia, | says: “It is nothing less than an of- - fensive alliancé. China undertakes to - regard Russia as having a preponder- ating influence on all questions of com- mercial and internal policies, while Russia will support China against all . ‘open door’ demands. Russia finances China in internal develonments and :China grants Russia preferential rates in certain areas and railways built in the joint interests of the two countries ‘will be under Russia’s practical control. “Russia will assist China in develop- ing her military and naval forces, and China will co-operate with Russia as an | ally. This treaty has been in abeyance since Li Hung Chang visited the Czar. That it has become operative at the present moment in respect to the Pek- ing-Hankow and N Chwang con- tracts is significant. © If the Daily Mail's version may be trusted it will explain much that has been hitherto inexplicable in the devel- epment of the question. The manager of the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank in London, in the course of an inter- view yesterday, said: “I believe the Peking-Hankow line, owing to natural obstructions and its costliness, will never be built, Russia merely wishing to keep England cut.” The French press comments gleefully upon the situation, and the newspapers at Berlin and Vienna are at no pains to hide their satisfaction at the discom- fiture of England. The Continental press regards the project of an Anglo- American alliance as chimerical. It considers that the United States has enough of war for the present, and will . not care to give Great Britain anything more than moral support in China. .Therefore, Continental editors argue, England is not likely to pick a quarrel with Russia, but will content herself -with seeking compensation elsewhere. ° A special dispatch from Shanghal says: ‘“‘The Russian agents are again . intriguing to obtain control of the Chi- nese maritime customs department.” The Peking correspondent of the Times, telegraphing with reference to the Peking-Hankow contract, says: “The rebuff is all the more serious be- cause the Tsung Li Yamen gave as- surances that the decree confirming i d | were withdrawn from | made by | 8an Jose, $8. | Davis, Vancouver, $12 to $17.

It says: “The curtain is deliberately dropping upon a scene of national hu- miliation and national indignation.” BRITISH TROOPSHIPS HELD IN READINESS VANCOUVER, Aug. 12.—The Cana- dian Pacific Railway’s steamers Tartar and Athenian are being held here in view of any sudden hostile movement on the part of Russia. which will neces- sitate the hurried rushing through of British troops to China. The steamers | the northern | route three weeks ago and have since been in the harbor undergoing repairs to their boilers and engines. The Unit- ed States Government, through the Pa- | cific Coast Steamship Company, was negotiating for their purchase for transports, but owing to the high price | placed on them the deal fell through. The company officials said to-day that the recent changes in the engines were' due to instructions from Montreal to | have the speed increased and the boats | in readiness to transport a large body | of British troops to China in case of | any sudden move on the part of Rus- 1 sia. Both vessels are splendldly equip- ped for carrying troops and each will accommodate from 600 to 700 soldiers. | With the recent improvement to the | engines they will make as good speed as Oriental liners. The first intimation that the boats were held here with a view to carrying British troops to China was in a pri- vate dispatch which stated that should trouble between Russia and England become more acute’ thousands of Brit- | ish soldlers would be sent across the | continent over the Canadian Pacific | railway. No direct move has been the British Government to purchase the boats, but it is simply | providing for an emergency by having | steamships which intended to go out | next month held hére until something definite occurs in Russia’s war mov OF INTEREST TO PEOPLE OF THE PACIFIC COAST/ Army Paymasters Ordered to i'ro- ceed to Manila---Pensions for Veterans—New Post- masters.

ESTIMATED LOSS $180,000 PRINCIPAL SUFFERERS AND IN- SURANCE. Special Dispatch to The Call. WHEATLAND, Aug. 12. — A fire started shortly before 1 o'clock to-day in a barn back of Neimeyer’s store. 1n- stantly the blaze jumped, as if follow- ing an oil trail, to the warehouses on either side, and before the fire alarm was rung the Sperry Company’s large grain warehouse and Neimeyer's ware- house were a burning mass, sending flames and smoke high in the air. The fire bell brought the hop pickers from the fields adjoining town, and in less than ten minutes fully 2000 people were on the main streets. They lent willing hands to check the spread of the flames, but their work was usaless. The fire spread rapidly north, east and west. It looked at one time as if the whole residence portion of the town would go, and there were few houses out of which valuable goods were not removed. As soon as it was seen that the prin- cipal business block, which is of brick, was doomed, the uninsured stores were thrown open and the public invited to save the goods. Here the hop pickers lent a ready hand, and to-night, out of the Stagner Brothers' grocery and hardware store, there is not enough saved goods under guard to supply our miilitary company with a week’s rations and hatchets and pincers for Cuban detail. : Not until the fire had been checked aid the, people realize what was going on about them. The rapacious greed of the lower element among the hop pick- ers was stimulated by the absence of law officers, and it was not uncommon to find men filling barley sacks with plunder. As soon as possible Marshal Waddell deputized two dozen men and armed them with shotguns. When the first guards came out a crowd of fully 600 roughs were fighting. The special offi- cers were almost powerless to make ar- rests, but eight of the leaders were ta- ken and locked in box cars. After an hour's work the town was cleared and what goods were left were put under guard. To-night two attempts were made to fire other portions of the town. These facts tend to confirm the theory that the fire was incendiary. The casualties were one Chinaman dead and one horse burned. A number of persons were overcome by the heat. Following is the loss by fire and the insurance: Farmers' Bank, $7000; in- surance, $4000; L. Melton, $10,000, dwell- ing, insurance $6000; D. S.
