ENGLAND CALLS A HALT.
Warns China Against Signing Any
Private Treaty.
WASHINGTON, March 29. The
British government has protested
against China making a convention
with any power touching territorial or
financial matters until the present
troubles in that country are conclud
ed. The fact of the British protest
was maJe known here for the first
time today by a dispatch from one of
the foreign officers of Europe. It says
the protest was made through Sir
Ernest Satow, the British minister at
Pekin. It does not state when the rep
resentations were made, but from the
fact that the dispatch was received In
Washington today, it Is taken that the
protest occurred within the last day
or two. Although the Russian agree
ment Is not specifically referred to, it
is said to be clear that the British
action is directed against the Russian
agreement. The language appears to
be similar to that used by Secretary
Hay, in the American protest. The
effect of the British action Is to place
the United States, Japan and Great
Britain in formal opposition to the
signing of a convention by China with
. any power pending the settlement of
I the Chinese- troubles. The course of
Great Britain is the more significant
from tne fact tnat mat government

FLOODS IN NEW YORK STATE.
Much Damage Caused to Property by
High Water.
NEW YORK, March 29. From many
parts of the state, comes news tonight
of damage by flood. The waters of
rivers and the smaller tributary
streams are reported as overflowing
their banks, causing widespread In

much property before they begin to
subside. Up to midnight the only ac

was that due to the washing out of a

San Francisco, March 29. The fact
has just become known that the big
Australian steamer Marianne, which
arrived here last Friday from Hako
date, with a cargo of 3,000 tons of sul

days before reaching port. Fortu
nately, the fire was confined to the
niiiille hatch, and was near the sur
face. The complete flooding of the
-om partment, ln which at least 500
ons of Buluhur was stowed, saved
the steamer, and possibly the Uvea of
all on board.
