WAR IS NOT LIKELY
Gcntral Corbin Says China Will
Not Fiht.
SAYS DANGER EXAGGERATED
Report el Distuibances in Chin Have '
Been Grossly ExaRRerated and
Conditions Not So Alarming
as Reports Say They Are.
SAN' FRANCISCO, M.ti.h !. --"There
will he v.o war N-t ween the I'nited
States an.l China," aid Majoi Cem-lal
Henry C. Corhin, upon hi- arrival from
the Orient 011 the steamer Korea ye
terdav. " So far as 1 have been able
to olivine, the reported disturbance in'
China have been grossly exaggerated
and conditions are not nearly o alarm
ing a one would 1 led to uppo-e from
reports that have le--n published abroad
throughout the Western world. That
there hate N'en disturbances is quite
true, bin I do not think thev menace
. . , ., " 1
the pea.? ot C lun.i and the I ntted
, ., j
States, or any other nation.
"The feeling against American nil
China does not ewed that entertained j
toward all other foreigners and as 1
understand the situation the entire anti
foreign feeling is due in a large measure
to the exploitation of business enter
prises which the Chines,- feel should Ite
controlled by their people. There is a
feeling again-t those who have in var
ious ways obtained through scheming
and corrupt officials franchise and con
cessions abrogated and vested in their
own people. They are willing to refund
to foreign investors the money they
have spent in the country. In fact, this
was done in the case of the Hankow and
Canton Railroad.
"Aide from this chief source of anti
foreign feeling, the troubles in China
are due to the presence of missionaries.
I was assured by a very prominent
Chinese that the Chinese people are not
all friendly to the pre-enee of foreign
missionaries. They resent the efforts of
the missionaries to force a lot of new
creeds on their people. The Chinese
have perhaps a mory firmly fixed relig
ious belief than any other people in the
world, and they look upon the religions
of the Western world with scant favor.

lieneial Appraisers and the t netiit
Court of ApH-aisi adversely to the nov
el nineut's contention foe a hiloi .Inly,
StviYlary Shaw has decided to pre. cut
the new cases on additional testimony.
Ill this case the collector assessed dlil
at 4." per cent a. I valorem on a certain

claimed that duties have been asi-s-cd

from round wire not .pecialU pimided
for.
Many i epr.sentat ies of (lie domestic
steel ami iron industry of the I'niled
States were called yeslr-ivl.iy by the
co eminent counsel. They testiti.d in
the m.iiu that steel wool was considered
in the trade as a highly manufactured
product and in no sense could lie rlussi
tied as " Steel in all shapes ami forms,"
as had been dcsciilied in a decision of
the Unrd. The following witnes-es were
called by tip- government .
Treasury Agent I'aitello, Mr. 1W
lickn, a salesman of the steel and wire
company; I'resident Wolf, of the Amer
ican Steel Wool Co., and Mr. Nea'c. a
-ale agent of the Carnegie Sted Com
pany. The hearing probably will be conclud
ed today. I'resident IWri-s stated
that the decision of this ca-e might
affect the tjriir rate on all iuiioit.i
tions of steel and iron products.

are talking about.
'The tees for all state punting .lie
fix.-d by law as well as t!ie amount of
printing nece-sary for the State', u-e.
The volume of printing for which the
State is liable is statutory and it is
the state printer'- sworn duly to com
ply with the law. When printed mat
ter is ready for delivery, it is measined
by the printing expert. A- thi- oflice i
appointive, the present incumbent is a
Democrat. He is an honest imin and a
capable officer. After it is evp rtel, the
repoit is submitted to the Secretary of
State. That official personally investi
gates every bill before it meets his ap
proval. He is an able ollicer, the le-t
and mot painstaking official ever in
that oflice and all accounts that ure
even suspicious, are by him rejected.
"Thfc is the course of all claims that
emanate from the department of print
ing as well as other departments of
the State.
"The State J'rintei has on file the
receipt for every dollar's worth of print
ing furnished by him, which receipt
checks off with the books in the office
of the Secretary of State.
"State Print -r Whitney i, an honor

"This oflice is wholly under control

"This is a great State and require a
vast amount, of printing arid we do not
believe thai one dollar's worth of un
necessary printing is being 'worked off

" Mr. Whitney has served one term.
He hu proved a competent officer and
