Ho Yow is nxious to have the American view the troubles in China as not em- anating from the imperial Government, but from fanatical factions.

Some time ago Ho Yow undertook to form a combination with the commer- cial people of the United States, whereby those in the scheme in this country’ would reap a golden harvest by having a monop- of China's trade through valuabie con- | cesstons from the Chinese Government. The Consul General's letter is as follow . July 12, 1900.—To the Hon- greate of the »f Commerce, San Francisco—Gentlemen: | a member of your body and a# a representative of the imperial Government of China I beg to express to you and through you to the business people of San Francisco generally who may have friends or interests in China imperiled by the prevailing conditions there my most profound sympathy for them and their friends in the disturbed districts.

This rapld and vicious onslaught, indiscrim- inately made by the mobs of certain districts of North China upon the Western peoples, must for the moment stultify and staggerrade with those particular localities; but in the turmoil it 18 comforting to know that the imperial | Government has at all times been earnest in its desire to suppress the assaflants, shown utterly no sympathy with the mob, its views and Its purposes, and will undoubtedly when order is again restored punish the of- fenders with the severity which is their due. The Government of China, as much as it may be misrepresented in the West, is favor- able to progress and is desirous of extending throughout the empire the light of Western knowledge and of adopting and applying to the industrial and country those marvelous benefits which West- ern thought has wrested from nature and brought under the control of man. That this development must go, om, that neither Boxers' revolt, mob violence nof recogni- tion by high and misguided officlals can swerve or crush it down, Is a truth recognizable upon an instant's reflection. Those stupendous potentialities, resident within the vast breadth of China, must be released to the uses and benefits of the world. China must take the station which her great innate power entitles her to hold among the nations.

Through the grand medium of exchange of | the products of labor for the products of labor | must accrue the real benefits which one natlon | can be to another nation and to all nations, | and the people who are highest endowed in their ability to put forth the best and most | destrable products and who have thereby the | largest capacity for the taking of products to other natlons is the nation chief among the integrals of the world. This nation to-day I| regard as the United States. And 1 say fronting as it does across the most magnificent | sheet of water upon the globe, the country perhaps the richest in material resources, of most continuous and unbroken . territorial do- | main and of a distinctly radical population, | Sreatest in multitude of any perhaps of the world under one government, that in the presence of such conditions the United States should reap the very highest advantage from the incomputable potential possibilities in China. | Let not our minds be diverted from the great scheme of commercial acquisition and exchange | by any acts which ignorant mobs may commit in any part of China. That which concerns us here is the commerce of what is practically [ the Orlent. No band of robberies, of maraud- | ers, of anti-Caucasians or of fanatics should | swerve us In this great project. We are deal- ing not with the moment, but with the ages. | We are dealing not with units, but with popu- | latione. | Ban Francisco should and by your help will be the commercial entrepot of this coast, and as oyr Government and the influence which | attend it is and will hereafter be alert to sup- | press anti-Caucasian blas, so must you here re- sist, discountenance and denounce all anti- Monogolian prejudice and feeling in order that amity and comity may prevail which is a con- | dition absolutely necessary to precede and abide with any volume of trade between people what- soever. It is my devoted hope that when the atmos- phere of North China is again cleared it shall be found that no injuries have been in- fiicted upon American citizens and that no harm has befallen any of your friends or the Interests in which you or they are engaged.

The point | raised in some quarters that the use of | Nagasaki as a base In this fashion would be a violation of international law, con- stituting a hostile act against China in the absenée of a declaration of war, fs declared by the officlals here to be ad- solutely frivolous. As a matter of fact, the War Department has been freely availing itself of Nagasaki as a point for transshipment and a port of rest ever | since the end of the war with Spain, and | the Japanese Government, having made no objection so far, is scarcely likely either to make a protest itself or to en- tertain one from any other nation under | present conditions. Japanese officials here expect that Mar- shal Nodzu will accompany the Japanese expedition about to sail for China. The | rank of marshal probably will be su- perfor to that of any other foreign com- mander, military or naval, in China. Un- der the Japanese system the rank of mar- shal corresponds with that of fleld mar- land Mrs. Marceau will be able to prove | shal in the French system. As a result of the Chino-Japanese war three marshals were created by Japan, namely, Yama- gata, who made the remarkable march into China from the north; Emaya Oya- ma, who cntered China farther south and seized Port Arthur, and General Nodzu, who had the honor of being the first Jap- anese officer to score an important tri- umph on Chinese soil. Yamagata is now Prime Minister and Oyama is In charge of the staff, leaving Marshal Nodzu as the available one of the first distinguished trio of soldiers. He is beyond middle age, a sterling disciplinarian and has the rep= utation of being an impetuous fighter. He is a strong believer in cavalry. P s - g DISPATCH FROM EMPEROR. LONDON, July 13.—In the House of Commons to-day, replying to questions on the subject, the Parllamentary Secretary of the Foreign Office, Mr. Broderick, sald that little news had been received from China. Her Majesty's Government, he ex- plained, had heen unable to communicate with the British naval officers in China, the lines between Chefu and Shanghal having been cut. A dispatch purporting to have been sent from the Emperor of China to her Majesty’s Government was received yesterday, but the Secretary sald he was unable to oromise to make its contents known. il Narrowly Escaped Drowning.

SAN RAFAEL, July 13.—Captain Shelly, an old resident of this county, who lives near Mill Valley Junction, had a narrow escape from drowning late this afternoon in the creek near that place. The captain was walking down the track when a south bound train overtook him on a trestle, In the excitement of the moment Captain Shelly plunged from the trestle into the water.
