SAN rPANCISCO. May 25. The situa tion in China has given the President and Cabinet much thought during their stay In San Francisco, and frequent cablegrams have passed between Secretary Hay and Commissioner Itockblll on the various phages of the negotiations going on among the powers. A member of the Cabinet said last night: "We have some hope, however, that we may yet reach a conclusion that will be of much benefit to the Chinese Empire and Mill be satisfactory to all the powers concerned. There has as yet been no de mand for a partjtion of the empire, and no power has demanded a territorial in demnity. This is largely due to the at titude of the United States from the be ginning. The other powers found it diffi cult to make demands in which we did not acquiesce and to which we were known to be ppposed. Ve Jiaye every hope of being Instrumental in preserving the Integrity of the empire and even securing such a reduction of the sum total of the mone tary demands as will permit China to emerge from her difficulties with more ease than first appeared possible. 'So far as a joint guarantee by the ppwers lt concerned, such a thing Is op posed by the United States, and will prob ably not be pressed. France and Russia are the only powers -that are" In favor of such a. pouree. "The Cabinet has also considered, dur ing our stay in San Francisco, the ques tions arising from the holding of the Pan American Congress in -Mexico, and the fear that has arisen in some quarters that the United States proposed to ag grandize to iteelf more than a proper share of the influences &t work in and flowing from the congress. ICpthing could be further from the truth. The United States will take its place as one of the powers represented in the congress, and will have a standing equal and not diffei ent from any other power." FOOD HABITS OF SEA LIONS. College ProfcKoor AVI1I Accompany Hunter -to Make Investigation. ASTORIA, aiiy 23 Master Fish "War den Van Duspn received a letter today from Professor E. M. McElfresh, of the department of zoology of the Oregon Ag ricultural College at CorvaMs, inquiring about the rood habits of the sea lions. He says a recent report was published on the subject in California in which it Is stated that the animals do pot liye on food fish at all. Professor McElfresh says that he desires to accompany the hunters whom the fishermen employ to kill sea lions and examine the stomachs of a sufficient number of the lions to positively learn what their food habits are. Flmliermen Had Close Call. A fishing boat, manned by Andrew Myllyja and his boatpuller, Andrew An derson was capsized on Clatsop Spit yesterday afternoon. The men wen quickly rescued by the Point Adams i lire-saving crew, which also saved the boat and net. The water was excep tionally rough at the time and but for the prompt work of the life crew, the men would undoubtedly have been drowned. Flaliernicn Make Good Catches. "While the run of salmon has not ma terially increased, some of the men made fair catches last night. The high boat was one worldng for the co-operative cannery which caught 32 fish.

At the hour advertised for the sale of the Courthouse to the state for Capitol purposes quite" a crowd had gathered at the main entrance of the big stone build ing. While It had all been arranged In advance. by the Capitol Commission, and the Commissioners of Thurston County, the bare possibility that some one might step in with a higher bid, and thus shat ter the hopes of all who wished to see the matter finally settled, gave rise to a feeling somewhat apprehensfve, and at least interesting.

CASE OF EX-FISH COMMISSIONER. F. C. Rccd Tells Why He Thinks He Is Entitled to Ofllcp. SALEM, May 25. Tlie ipandamus pro ceeding brought by F. C. Reed to com pel Secretary of State Dunbar to audit his claim for salary after the new fish ery law went into effect, was argued be fore Judge Boise today. C. M. Idlepmn, of Portland, appeared for Mr, Reed, and Attorney-General Blackburn represented the state. Mr. Idleman, In support of his iew of the case, contended that Fish Commissioner Reed Is still in office for the reason that the law under which he holds office has not been repealed. He'ar gued that courts do not favor lepeals by implication and iUH not declare ap act repealed unless plainly intended by the Legislature. Neither do courts look with favor upon ousting a man from office unless such is the plain intent of the law-making body. In this case the Leg islature did not provide a law coyering all the provision;, of the old law, and therefore no repeal was intended. The Legislature also passed two acts fixing duties for the Fish Commissioner, there fore It did not Intend to aboligh his office. It was also contended that the new fishing law is so inconsistent in It self as to bp inoperative. Judge Blackburn, in support of his con tention, argued that the new law covers ""all the ground of the old law and there fore repeals it by impUcatipn, and thus abolishes the office of Fish Commissioner. Judge Boise took the case under advisement. Washington Illitnry .Orders.
