LI Hung Chang declares thn he Is iwwerless to resist and has app-aled to the United States, Great Britain, Ger many and Japan to Intervene in Chl- ni's behalf. Considerable uneasiness in consequence of the extreme friction. Is believed to exist between the Yang-tsi Viceroys and LI Hung Chang." AMERICANS WILL REMAIN. I'EKIN. March 11. Companies A and R of the Ninth United Statu Infantry have ben noticed that they are to re main In China, It is believed that Ma tor Robertson will command them. Many Americans have urged the lega tion to use its Influence to have at least two fl-ld guns and enough artillery men to work them left. They say that during the tlege these guns would have been more valuable than 20u arm ed mer, and that necessity for their use is liable to occur again. The Germans report that In the re cent engagement near Pao Ting Fu t'0 Chinese were killed and four maga zine guns captured. The American field telegraph line which w-as constructed here ha ceas ed operations, and the wire has been coiled in preparation for shipment to Manila.

Wash., March ll.-Advlces brought by the steamship Goodwin state that 75 sailors mutinied on board the cruiser Albany at Hong Kong last month. The cause was lack of money and liberty. The refractory sailors were placed in irons and taken to Cavite for trial. The Mohammedan rebellion in Kan Su has assumed such alarming proportions that the empress dowager has com ma ndAl Gen. Feng Tre Sal to proceed northward from Canton with haste and undertake their submission. The gunboats Ball and Sugrib. buiit ot Hong Kong for Slam, have been turned over to that government with the object of striking terror, to the rebels at Canton. Fourteen brigands were executed February 14. Four other men are being starved to death In cages ex posed to public view. FOREIGNERS IN CHINA. NEW YORK. March 11. The March number of the Deutsche Revue contains an article by Sir Robert Hart on for eigners In China, "Foreigners In China, although their number continually Increases," he said, "are not very numerous, and can be divided Into three general classes: mer chants, missionaries and officials. The merchants follow their calling in an orderly, blameless manner, observing the treaty stipulations and the laws which have been made to enforce them. Neither In their general or Individual behavior is there anything to arouse the enmity of the Chinese In whose midst they are. But, nevertheless, the Chinese complain that foreign competit ion in China of the coast trade has ruined the Junk owners and deprived them of the large Incomes they for merly enjoyed. "The missionaries are acknowledged to have done good in many ways and their medical help deserves great grati tude. But the mere fact that they are bold enough to teach causes Irritation and the acceptance of their doctrines Is still more dangerous for certain abuses which have crept ir for example, con verts se.'king their meetings for protec tion against the consequence of legal trespasses or to obtain the ecclesiastical influence for their own benefit, as well as the Interference of missionaries in the local administration, etc. cause occas ional troubles within their districts and displeasure to the people and officials." The article ends as follows: "In spite of the quite Inexhaustible action of the Pekln government In re gard to the Uoxen and the cruelties committed upon missionaries and their families In two or three provinces, It must not be forgotten that the vice roys and governors of the other fifteen or sixteen maintained peace and order and did not permit any anti-forefgn movements. This must not be over looked In discussing how far the situ ation Justifies the action of the pow ers In treating China as outside the limits of civilization. "Every one who admits the princi ples of Chinese philosophers, that the power of right Is great, must supple ment It by the other one, that the right of powr Is also great. The most powerful states which are at the same time the most civilized ones have not only the right but also the duty to en force their will on others. But their action must be considerate, blameless and Just, In due proportion to their strength and civilization." BRITISH REPLY RECEIVED. England Will Not .Consent to Senate Amenlments to Hay-Pauneefote Treaty. WASHINGTON. March ll.-The ans wer from the British government to the state department's communication retiUng the action of the senate upon the Hay-Pauncefote treaty was return ed today. It states that the British government did not see Its way clear to accept the amendments. The note concludes with an expression of re-gr-t that such a course was forced upon the British government. There w-js nothing In the nature of a counter prjpwitlon nor was any open ing left for further action by the Brit ish government. It was stated that If there Is to be further attempt to amend the Clapton-Bulwer treaty so as to authorize the United States to con- rtruct a waterway across the Isthmus. then It Is for the United States to make overtures. The British govern ment simply drop the matter at this point. The relief seems to be warranted that there will be 10 further negotiations on the subject In the Immediate future unless some event not now foreseen by the officials causes a radical change in the situation.

The trial of the nine natives having murdered Oulslm bing, president of Caiamba, because be was friendly to the Americans, discloses nw :ne insurgents terrorized tne na tives even in the territory occupied by the Americans.

Tonight the senate passed the house concurrent ad lournment resolution fixing the time as Z o'clock tomorrow afternoon, provided the appropriation bill Is out of the way. There is a deadlock over the measure arising from some senate amendments, the principal one of which is a pro vision for the adjutant-general's office. The house passed a bill without an ap propriation for the office and the senate ircorporated one into It. This Is most obnoxious to what is called the Coeur d'Alene element which is bitterly op posed to the militia. The house revised the bill for an exhbilt at the Pan American exposition at Buffalo and rassed it as amended by the senate. The bill carries an appropriation of $15,000.
