Mr. Charles G. Yale, the statistician of the San Francisco mint, made a report to

weeks ago.

that the outcome of the dispute in regard | to the new Chwang railroad extension is a: crucial point of the success cr failure of ' Great Britain’s policy of the “ open door,”

As evidence of the fact that Great Bri tain appreciates the gravity of the situa- tion, the Aseociated#Press learns that the admiralty is preparing for a] emerzencies and that it will soon be ready to mobilize the entire fleet at the shortest notice, Every officer and man on furlough or on half pay has been assigned to a ship and instructed, to be in readiness to join at the earllest moment possitle after being notified todo so. Therefore, practical y every ship in the British navy, whether ia or out of commission at the present mo~ ment, has its full war complement of offi- cere and men ready to take her out to sea whea the time arrives.

But “there is some suspicion here that the action ef the French admiral may be connected with a desire to back Russian desires.
