fl FRESH lltHl II ORIENT. DIPLOMATS APPREHENSIVE. 6ymptom In China Similar to Those Two Year Afjo War Indem nity a Burden. Official familiar with, the Chinese situation are apprehensive about recent event In the Celestial empire. American diplomats fenr that- events are hurrying toward a sltuntlon which may neromo as serious as that of 1300.

MrWode. con sult at Canton announcing that there had been fighting between the rebels r id the, Chinese troops along the Ton kin frontier, have tended to Increase uneasiness. It Is recalled that the Iloxer uprising of 1900 began In ru mors which no one Hnerstood, sim ilar to those that are now coming from China. Consul McWade said Marshnl Su had raptured Kwang-Nan, a prefecture on the Yun-Nan frontier, and that the rebels had fled to the hills northwest of Nan-Nlng. Mall advices Indicate a Boxer uprising In Southwest Chl-I.l, where BO Chinese ofllclnls collecting taxes were killed, and French, Belgian and native mis sionaries were put to the sword. There was also a movement In the provinces of Honan and Shantung, said to have for Its objective Peking. It Is signflcant that these troubles are within French and (Stlermau spheres of Influence.

The people of China are al ready groaning beneath taxation, which probably they will be unable to pay.

Home Consumption Is Great Steel Make No Advance Producers Still Conservative. It. O. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says: Peace in South Africa has greatly improved the out look. Foreign industrial markets will quickly benefit by the develop ment of that country, while a return to active gold mlr.Ins will have & helpful Influence in monetary circles. Owing to the present exceptional home consumption producers In this country may not be able to take ad vantage of the opportunity Immedi ately, but even the Indirect effects must be beneficial. Domestic con ditions still have but one drawback of labor disputes. Outside the lim its of this influence there Is little cause for complaint. Orders are largo and distribution is less Interrupted by the shortage of cars. Railway earnings for May show an increase of 6.8 per cent over last year, and 14.7 per cent, over 1900. Contrary to expectations the leading producers maintained their conservative posi tion by making no advance In the price of steel rails for delivery In 1903, notwithstanding the material, rise that has occurred In pig iron. Much new business has been placed during the past week, although con sumers have found difficulty In book ing orders for delivery In 1902. This is especially noticeable as to struct ural material, and railway, supplies. Interruption to work at blast fur naces was not wholly averted, but the loss In output did not reach a large figure, owing to prompt con cessions on both sides, Practically no orders were accepted for pig Iron, however, owing to the uncertainty as to the extent of the strike. In tubes, pipes and kindred lines there is much activity, with quotations fully maintained. Bituminous coal is abnormally stimulated by the anth racite coal shortage and the output ot coke in the Connellsvllle region is establishing a new record each week. Bales ot footwear have materially In creased with the advancing season, Jobbers reporting especially favorable conditions. A temporary aeasou of activity occurred In leather, hemlock sole Belling in moderate quantities, but shoe shops soon secured all the desired material. Textile goods are firmly held, with stocks well under control. Buyers still show a disposi tion to hold back orders, yet better terms are not Indicated by the con ditions of supplies. Satisfactory weather In the leading producing re gions had a depressing Influence on grain quotations, and last week' ad vance was lost. Failures this week In the United States were 218, against 194 last wt'ek, 192 the preceding week, and 185 the corresponding week last year, and In Canada Hi, against 20 last week, 12 the preced ing week and 20 last year, Fixed an Alternative. In the constitutional convention at Richmond, Va., an amendment was adopted requiring the Governor and the Judiciary to subscribe to the oath to support the new Constitution, or to vacate their offjee U the failed to do to.
