Russia's Step Regarded as Tantamount to a Permanent Occupation and a Reply toGermanys Action Emperor William Visits Russian Ambassador. London. 'Dec. 20. The correspondent of The Times at Pekin says: "China approves of the Russian fleet wintering at Port Arthur, being persuaded that this action is taken in the interest of China and necessitated b ythe German occupation of Kiao-Chau." A dispatch' to The Times from Shang hai says the occupation of Port. Arthur (by Russia) cannot fail to provoke pop ular indignation in Japan, where public opinion is already excited over the Kiao Chau affair. Telegrams from all the continental capitols show that Russia's step at Port Arthur is regarded as tantamount to a permanent occupation and a reply to Germany's action. A well informed St. Petersburg cor . respondent says there was no agree ment between Russia and Germany, and that the latter simply warned Russia when the occupation of Kiao Chau was already decided upon. The Novce Vremyea pretends that Japan has no cause for complaint, "since China is only giving the same shelter to Russian ships as Japan had hitherto so kindly afforded." This view is not held in Berlin, where the papers are already talking of the possibility of Prince Henry having to shake his mailed fist at Japan, that is supposed to be secretly backed up by England, Some of the Berlin papers express anxiety, but most of them wel come the news from Port Arthur as Justifying the German pisition at Kiao Chau, if not as actual evidence that Russia and Germany are acting to gether. Curiously enough- Emperor William visited the Russian ambas sador on Friday night on . his return from Kiel, ostensibly to congratulate him on the name day of Emperor Nicholas. The visit lasted an hour. There is no doubt now that the emperor and the ambassador discussed Chinese affairs. According to a dispatch to The Daily Mail from Shanghai the high officials of the Chinese court have advised the emperor, in view of further complica tions, to remove the court to Nanking (the "southern capitol"). The dispatch pays it is reported there that overtures have been made to England to exer cise protection over the Yang Tse val ley' and the West river, and that nu merous rumors are current regarding the activity of the British squadron in Chinese waters.

Kiel, Dec. 17. The German cruiser Gefion, bound for China, left her moor ings yesterday amid salutes and cheers ' from the crews of all the warships in the harbor. The weather was glorious and the harbor presented a most ani mated picture. The shores were throng ed with people, and a number of naval officers, including Admirals Knorr, Von Tirpitz, Koester, Thomsen, Bendemann, Oldekoppe and Armin, who occupied the Barbadoes bridge. When Prince Henry of Prussia made his exit from the castle gate he was cordially saluted by the admirals as he entered his launch. As he left the shore Admiral Koester shouted a triple hur rah, the other officers and the crowds joining in the cheering. Then the crown prince, Frederick William, Prince Eitel Frederick, Prince Adalbert and Empe ror William's suite, embarked on board a yacht and proceeded to Prince Hen ry's ship.the first class cruiser Deutsch land. .

Yesterday the dead body of Mrs. Margaret Hogan was found in her store on Congress street. Her hands were tied behind her back and a piece of. braid was wrapped tightly around her throat.

The robbers probably had forced the woman, who was 65 years, of age, to give up her small hoard, which she kept in her room back of the store. They then strangled her with the braid, ' but finding her slow in dying brayied .her with some blunt instru-t ment.

"On the other hand, if Secretary Gage continues to press upon congress a bill, the object of which, he say, is first, to commit the country ' more thoroughly to the gold standard, and the immedi ate effects of which is to throw doubts upon the sincerity of the president's declarations in favor of, continued ef forts to secure bimetallism, a politi cal turmoil will arise In congress which will split the now united Republicans into fragments, while it will unite and -consolidate the now incongruous opposition. "It Is not feasible to retire the green backs; there is more probability that a bill will be sent to the president to increase' their amount.

IS It has devel oped that the bill relating to pelagic sealing, which has just passed both branches of congress and is before the president, contains a provision of far reaching importance which has thus far escaped attention. This places an absolute prohibition on the further bringing of sea skins into the United States Irom any source or in any form- whatever. As the United States is the largest market in the wor.d for seal skins, this complete stoppage of the trade in this country will be a severe measure against the British and Can adian industries which take and cure the skins and then dispose of them largely in the United States. When the bill was proposed it was generally sup poted that its only purpose was to pro hibit American citizens from carrying on pelagic sealing. This feature was the only one to attract attention dur ing' the discussion. At the close of the bill, however, is a section which abso lutely prohibits the importation of seal skins and provides that "all such sir-, tides imported after this act shall take effect shall not be permitted to be ex ported", but shall be seized and destroy ed by the proper officers of the United States." Those who aire thoroughly familiar with the bill say this pro vision is of far more importance in its effect than the prohibition against pelagic sealing by Americans.
