Aug. 10. A dispatch from London to the Journal and Adver tiser says: All efforts on the part of British and foreign governments to slop the supply of war material to the Chinese, are des tined t- prove of no avail as' long as the chamber of commerce council of Hon Kong maintain their selfih re sistance to the execution of the restric tive measures decreed by the powers prohibiting the export of war material to China. An immense tral is done at Hone n.:ms in me saje or oom arms ana am munition to both the Chinese and Fil ipino Insurgents. Indeed the latter as well as the Chinese draw all their sup plies f this kind from Hong Kong, w.era the merchants are trying to re sist any Interference with their busi ness. Hong Kong has no custom house and has. therefore, no means of checking the Imports or exporU if the shippers do not choose to moke a purely volun tary declaration at the harbor office. The ehomb?r of commerce and the legislative council of Hong Kong are re solved to fight the government tooth and nail In the matter, declaring that It will constitute a blow at the tra ditional "freedom of the Port of Hong Kong" and have engaged Queen's Coun cillor Frances, the chief of the colonial bar. to champion their views in the matter.

MONEY A DRUG ON THE MARKET. Danger In the Fact That Banks Ac cept Most Anything as Collateral. NEW YORK, Aug. 10.-The Herald prints the following: Russel Sage is not satisfied by any means with the present easy money rates.

Money la a drug on the mark't. It Is a very unsatis factory condition. With the possibility of falling prices for securities, lenders may find themselves Insufficiently pro tected." Mr. Sage expressed the view that what the situation needed was a higher money rate. He said that the success of the British war loan here, which sur prised him somewhat although he was glad to see It. was largely due to the fact that money was in so little demand. "But the Englishmen used good Judg ment In deciding to Issue the bonds at 9S." he continued. 'They could not have floated them at par. I think. I doubt If they could have done so at 99." Mr. Sage was asked If he had carried out his Intention by subscribing to the li an. "I entrusted my subscription to an other man." said he. "and I have not heard yet whether he got the bonds. I did so to encourage the good feeling between the two countries which the loan should produce. If the attempt to place an English loan had been a dteappointmnet. it might have hindered other attempts." LINERS GO TO CHERBOURG.

NEW YORK, Aug. 10.-A dlnpatch to the Tribune from London says: The nomination of Count Von Wald crsee to the command of the expedi tionary forces In China has been favor ably received here, nd though It Is scarcely correct to say that the official consent of all the allied governments has been obtained to the appointment prior to the publlo announcement on Wednesday, there is no doubt that It will be cordially accepted by the Brit ish cabinet. The subject was no doubt discussed at a special meeting of the defense committee of the cabinet held yesterday afternoon under the presi dency of Lord Salisbury. Wolseley men In Lonion admit that sinci; Lord Roberts and Lord Wolseley are out of the question, no more distin guished soldier could be found for the chief command In the far East than Count Von Waldersee. In addition to his personal distinction, the oxiunt pos sesses the necessary qualification for holding the grale of field marshal so that he will be superior In rank to any of the officers commanding the various national contingents. It has been suggaeted that the Ger man emperor adroitly forced the hands of some of the other powers who threat ened to squabble over the generalissimo question, Dy suadenly Informing them that he Intended to send out a Prussian field marshal to assume direction of the general detachment.

It will be diffi cult, If not .'mroHslble, to jjlve him pre cisely thy status of a ctrnmander-ln-chlef of a national army. He will be rather the president of a council of f?en erals than an autocratic leader, subject to no control except that of his politi cal superiors at home. It Is a situation requiring Immense tact and temper, but there is general confidence that the count will prove equal to the emergency. He has little trouble !n coining to an understand' Ing with both the English and Ameri can offo"?rs. Though German, he es teems and appreciates the two Anglo Saxon pebples. His marriage to a tal ented American woman and his for mer close .vxiualntance with the Em press Frederick long ago placed' him In touch with some of the most influ ential personages In London and New York. At one time, Indeed, he was a little too strongly In sympathy with what was known as the English faction at the Berlin court to please the Kais er, but for some years he has been on confidential terms with his Imperial master, who has the highest opinion of hlH strategical ablllfv.
