THE 'MO'RKING OKEGONIAN, FRIB&Y, ' OCTOBER 5, 1900. 9 UPRISING OF TRIADS Secret Society Said to Have Broken Loose in Canton. SOUTHERN DISTRICTS IN FERMENT Unrest la the Two Kwang; Province Persecatiesk. of Christian He- viveel la Shan -Tsngr. LONDON, Oct 6,(A. M-The London morning papers are Tirtually engrossed by the Parliamentary general elections, and they have little to say about the new German note. The Dally News, "whloh describes it as "clear, straightforward and manly," expresses a hope that oil the European powers and also the United States will agree with Emperor "William s last proposal, British correspondents in China com plain of the "weak attitude" displayed by Great Britain and the United States, aa well as the other powers, in with drawing from Pekin and displaying gen erally a yielding mood. A dispatch from Tien Tsln, October 2, says: "Gaselee claims that the British from the gunboat Pygmy were the first to receive the surrender of the Shan Hal Swan forts." The Morning Posfs correspondent at Tatai asserts that the persecution or Christians .has been revived in th& Prov ince of Shan Tung. Shanghai dispatches announce the dis missal of two Tartar Generals, who have "been defeated by Russians In Manchuria. The head office 6f the Chinese commis sariat has ben removed from Chine .Kiang, on the Yang Strait, to Taku, and the Viceroys have been ordered to es tablish branch offices in the Province "ot Shen SI. A dispatch to the Dally Express from Hong Kong reports a serious rising of Triads in Canton, and the whole country to the south is said to be in a ferment. The Hong Kong correspondent of the Times, wiring Wednesday, says: "A thousand braves have left Canton to suppress a rebellion instigated by Triads at Waichau, in the Sauen dis trict. There is grave unrest in the two Kwang provinces, and precautions have 'been taken at Kowloo." WHY GERMANY CHAl'GED. 'forced br the Powers to Adopt Her Kew Policy. BERLIN, Oct 4-Followlng the cue of 4he Foreign Office, the semiofficial papers aire endeavoring to represent the policy of Germany as triumphant and consistent, and to conceal the fact that Germany has been forced by the reservations in the an .8wers of the powers to her proposal to labandon her demand for the giving up of the guilty. These Journals are now -adopting the usual plan. The Berliner Post and the others represent that Em peror Kwang Hsu's telegram was the re sult of the German note of September 18. The Independent papers, however, freely "admit that there has been a transforma tion in Germany's policy. They point out that today's note entirely abandons the proposal as to the surrender of the guilty as a condition precedent to the diplomatic intercourse with China, The Frelsslnnlge Zeltung observes: "Emperor William's telegram la in Itself a resumption of Intercourse. Punishment toy the Emperor of China corresponds with the standpoint which the United States Government took from tBfe begin ning in contrast with Count von Bulow'-s note." Despite the utterances of the inspired press, official circles are unable to conceal the logical hiatus between the two notes. A. high official of the Foreign Office re marked today that Great Britain's an swer was no longer essential, inasmuch as Germany's later note superseded the former one. Foreign Office officials accept Emperor Kwang Hsu's edict of Septem ber 25 as authentic They are confident that all the powers will accept today's German note without reservation. At the Foreign Office late this afternoon it was asserted that the United States Gov ernment had already given Mr. Conger instructions in accord with Germany's latest note. Jl Protest Asralnst the Withdrawal. TIEN TSIN, Monday, Oct L At a meeting of American citizens at Tien Tsln the following resolutions were adopt ed: "We, citizens of the United States, de plore the contemplated withdrawal of a large part of the United States troops In North China. We feel the work of the allied armies is far from accomplished, and that the refusal of the American Gov ernment to take its part therein is sure to be regarded by the allies as an un worthy act and by the Chinese as a sign of indifference. We urge our Government to carry to an end the work it has so honorably and efficiently begun, and to maintain a sufficient force for the protec tion of American mercantile and military interests until a settlement of the trou ble is accomplished." Earl LI Goes to Pelcln. TD2N TSIN. Oct 3, via Shanghai, Oct 4 LI Hung Chang and M. de Giers, the Russian Minister to China, had a long conference today, after which it was an nounced that Li Hung Chang would de part for Pekin tomorrow. Ll Hung Chang -will be accompanied by the Russian Ad miral, a Russian guard and his own body guard. The failure of the Russians to rebuild the railway to Pekin Is causing talk among 'the commanders of the restoration of the line of English owners for recon struction and operation. The sick among the Americans are be ing sent to the hospital-ship Maine, which will sail soon for Nagasaki and Yoko hama. Von Ketteler's Funeral. TAKU, Monday, Oct L The Dowager Empress has deputed the highest offlclals of the empire to make all necessary ar rangements for a most imposing funeral in honor of Baron von Ketteler, the late German Minister to China.

NEW YORK, Oct 4.A dispatch to the Times from Paris says: The International Congress of Peace, now being -held In Paris, has passed sev eral resolutions concerning the policy In China. 'The congress resolved that the action of the missionaries was often in tolerant; that their religious propaganda should not be backed up by diplomatic or military forces; that they should go into China at their own risk and peril; that Europe should abandon any religious pro tectorate in China; that forcible annexa tion of territory, especially that held sa cred by the Chinese, should cease'; that the powers should attempt to establish a stable native government, capable of un dertaking Internal reforms, and that the open door for the honest commerce of the world on equal terms Is the only policy which gives any guarantee for the coun try's future peace and stability.

Five men perished in the snow fields of Mount Arrowsmlth, Tasmania, August 28. where 10 days earlier another man had perished In the snow. The cold was so intense that a rescue party almost shared the same fate, the cold affecting the men so badly that blood oozed from their hands and faces. A story comes from Los Negras con cerning the wrecking of the bark Almond, a trading vessel, and the murder of the captain, two mates, three white sailors and 15 natives. vShe ran ashore on a coral reef and was quickly surrounded by hun dreds of savages. The captain, officers and crew were then beaten to death with clubs. Her decks were literally running with the blood of the unfortunate victims, and the fierce savages then carried from the wreck everything movable. R. Lyne -was the murdered skipper. The. first and second officers were John Garland and Peter Mullen. BANKER'S CONVENTION. Last Day's Session of the American Association. RICHMOND, Va.. Oct 4.

The Country Indorsed the Boer War and Annexation of the Tiro Republics. IONIDON, Oct 5, 4 A. M.-The "khaki" boom has j swept the country, Yester day's pollings aro a tale of Increased Ministerialist and diminished Liberal ma jorities. The returns from the rural dls- trlcls today (Friday) and tomorrow may do something to rehabilitate tho Liberals, but the results thus, far have fully Justi fied Mr. Chamberlain, and the party or ganization, who are backing the govern ment, in their choice of the moment to dissolve Parliament Few doubt that an. appeal to the country a month or two earlier would have produced an even greater Unionist outburst Neverthe less, tho Ministerialists may already con- YOU MUST BE CAREFUL OF with an increased majority. Yesterday the Conservatives gained 12 seats, as against three gained by the Liberals. The worklngmen of the country have reported In very decided volco in favor of the war, and of the annexation of tho republics. Even Liberal Scotland is at last feeling the full force of the shock, the Glasgow Tories being as much as tonished as the Liberals at their unex pected success in winning two seats. An drew Dryburgh Provand, who was de feated in the Blackfrlars division, has sat for Glasgow in the Liberal Interest since 1SS6, and the Bridgeton division was Sir George Otto Trevelan's old seat Both hadlong been Liberal strongholds. The results In Liverpool and other Industrial districts tell a similar story of Increased Unionist majorities. Mr. Chamberlain, who was listening to the results over the telephone, sent the following message to the people of Birm ingham: "This has been a good day's" work of the empire." London Itself felt the full tide of the Unionist victory. The Liberal represen tation from the metropolis will not amount to more than seven or eight out of 62 members. Indeed, the Isolated Lib eral successes only serve to enhance the sweeping nature of the Unionist triumph In all directions the anti-war candidates have been defeated. Even Mr. Cremer's success at Ha&rderston Is doubtful, as a recount has been demanded. Londoners were not slow last evening to testify to their delight Wherever tho results were displayed crowds collected to cheer and to demonstrate In favor of their favorites. In various polling dis tricts the candidates appeared at win dows or drove about receiving tremen dous ovations. The returns from many points will not be known until toward noon today. At midnight returns showed the total num ber of elected to be 397, with a relative strength of parties as follows: Ministerialists 2S0 Liberals Including Laborltes 72 Nationalists 45 The Conservatives have gained alto gether 21 seats, and the Liberals 14 The Dally Mail describes the elections as "the rout of the 'pro-Boers' and 'the 'debacle of 'Little Englandlsm.' " Edward Blake, the Irish Nationalist, has been returned unopposed for the Bouth division of Longford, which he rep. resented in the last Parliament Tho Conservatives suffered defeat In the St. Stephens Green division of Dublin, the polling being as follows: J. McCann, In dependent Nationalist, 3431; Campbell, Conservative, 2S53. The Conservatives hold Newcastle by enormously Increased majorities, and Captain Lambton, of the British cruiser Powerful, upon whom the Liberals count ed to deal a crushing blow to the govern ment finds himself at the bottom of the poll. Only one of tho seven boroughs of Bir mingham was contested, but the Liberals organized an aggressive campaign to take one seat in Mr. Chamberlain's city. He took an active part in the canvass in be half ot Sir J. Benjamin Stone, Conserva tive candidate for East Birmingham, and the victory of the latter, with a majority of 2154, Is considered, In part, a personal triumph for the Secretary of State for the Colonies. In the Scotland division of Liverpool, T, P. O'Connor, who has represented the constituency since 18S5, was re-elected. Mr. O'Connor's majority Is 77 less than it was in the general election of 1S95, when he defeated W. E. McCartney, Con servative, by 643 votes. In the other Liv erpool boroughs, the Conservatives gained largely. In the central division of Leeds, Gerald William Balfour, Chief Secretary for Ire land, and brother of the First Lord of the Treasury, defeated his Liberal oppo nent, Sir C. C. Montague, by 1102 votes, nearly-doubling the majority he received In. the 1S95 election. In West Southwark, Sir A. J. Newton, Lord Mayor of London, was defeated by Richard K. Causton, Liberal, who has represented the constituency since 1SS?. In the central division of Edinburgh, Dr. A. Conan. Doyle, Conservative, was defeated by G. M. Brown, Liberal, who received 3023 votes, as against' 2459 cast for Mr. Doyle. In Haggerston, London, W. R. Cremer, Liberal, carried the election, receiving 2294 votes, as against 2267 cast for his Con servative opponent, John Lowles, who carried the constituency in 1895' against Mr. Cremer by a majority of 31 votes-. Herbert Gladstone, Liberal, carried West Leeds by a majority of 521, receiving 7033 votes, as against 6522 cast for his Conservative opponent Colonel T. W. Harding. At Newcastle, Undertime, Sir Harlam, Liberal "Unionist, defeated William Al len, Liberal, by a vote of 3750 against 36o4. TWO DEVASTATED REPUBLICS. What Consnl-Gcneral Stowe Saw In Transvaal and Free State. WASHINGTON, Oct 4. An Interesting picture of the Transvaal and Free State I ah A.u&uoi., Mici tun tvav,c ui nm uau passed over the country, 13 presented, in THIS ON E, WILLIE, AND NOT LET THE a report to trie State Department from United States consul-General Stowe, at Cape Town, dated August 17 last He had Just returned to the Cape from a trip through the two Republics. He says that for hundreds of miles all the wlro fencing Is down and cannot be used again. Tho posts have been burned for fuel andf must bo replaced with Iron posts, owing to tho scarcity of -timber. The plowing In prog ress is limited, compared with former years, and there will be large market for American cereals. By March, 1901, agricultural machinery will be wanted. Meat and livestock will continue to be Imported. Johannesburg had only three days supply of meat when Mr. Stowo left the town. While the Boers who have returned are anxious to get to work, sev eral months must elapse before things settle down to a normal basis. The gov ernment is building a new line of railway from Harrlsmlth to connect with the Orange Colony system, so wiat tho Neth erlands Railway, with Its 200 per cent dividends, will no longer have a monopoly In the Transvaal. There will be a big demand for bridge material and electrical machinery and supplies. Lord Roberts has appointed an advisory committee to assist him In the reopening of Johannesburg, and to secure,, the re turn of tho mining population, which the prosperity ot the town depends upon. Tt is questionable whether, an undesirable element common to all mining towns will be allowed to return to Johannesburg. A MONTH'S CAMPAIGNING. Hart Returns to Krn&ersdorp "With n Good Supply of Stoclc. LONDON, Oct. 4. Lord Roberts has ca bled as follows to the War Department: "Hart returned to Krugersdorp October L He has been 33 days , from his base, marched 310 miles, was In contact w4th the enemy 29 days, killed an unknown number and cap'tured 96. The British lost three killed, three prisoners and 24 wound ed. Hart brought back 2720 head of cat t'e and 32S1 sheep. Buller has returned to Lydenburg from Spltzkop with j.000 sheep. There are skirmishes with the Boers dally, but they are small affairs. "The Dublin Fusiliers made a night as sault with the bayonet on a Boer laager between Pretoria and Johannesburg, and captured nine men, mostly important Boers, who have troubled the district. A party of Boers has penetrated the south ern part of Orange River Colony, entered. Dewetsdorp and Wepener. Detachments are after them." Display of National Flnprfl. WASHINGTON. Oct. 4. Mr. Jackpon, Secretary of Legation at Berlin, has sup plied to the State Department a procla mation by the German Government' re specting the display of national flags, prescribing the conditions under which these are to bo exhibited. Foreign ships are required to show their flags when meeting a Gorman naval vessel or pass ing a German fortress, If within the three-mile limit, and when entering a tJerman harbor.

Dunlway, writing to the mem bers of the Multnomah Club from San Francisco, regarding his first night's con test In the San Francisco billiard tourn ament, furnishes much Information on the game being played, and the difficul ties the Portland man has to overcome In changing to big tables and new cush ions. For the first few days while Mr. Dunlway was practicing ho did not Im press the San Francisco players much, but by the time he began to master the now conditions, he could not get wagers at even one to thiee in his favor. Of the first night's game he writes: "I went against Nolan, and beat him, 160 to 78. My average was 4 11-16, and highest run 23. Nolan plays hard, ham mers them around, and so It Is difficult to make much of an average with him, as they are generally left all over tho table. He is reckoned the poorest player of the bunch. Dr. Burns beat Mr. Mud gett. 150 to 126 poor game; average, 2.54. Taylor, the man I consider the strongest player, beat Roggen, a hard, safety play er, 150 to 129; average. 3.75. Franklin beat Dr. Davis, 150 to 135; average, 2.S8. Frank lin Is the man I played with In Portland. Dr. Davis Is tho youngest player, except Nolan, and will show up well in a couplo of years or so from now. "I was somewhat nervous at the begin ning of the game, but soon steadied down. All the rest were nervous. An average of five will surely win. The big tables and nervousness cause the low averages." Mr. Dunlway speaks highly of his re ception and treatment by the members of the Olympic Club, In San Francisco.

This precipitated the fight and in a few1 seconds Burke was at the bottom of a pile of a dozen men. When he got up it was found that his face had been pushed In by contact with the bats. Into which he slid In an effort to get one for self defense. He was bloody, but not hurt Helena and Great Falls are tied, and tho deciding game will be played in Butta to morrow. HURRICANE RIDING.

Possibly Tiey Will Go Below the Cheap Fores Quoted by Their Competitor. ST. PAUL, Oct, 4. It Is stated today that the Northern Pacific and "Boo" lines will meet and possibly go below tho reduced rates announced yesterday by the Great Northern. Tho cut In ratea thus far Is In homescokers' rates, but railroad officials in this city think It likely general passenger business through out the West may be affected. 3IEET THE LOW RATES, Other Roads Not to Be Ontdone by the Great Northern. Tho Northern Pacific and Canadian Pa cific yesterday promptly met the new set tlers' rate of the Great Northern, which lets the cheap fares from Chicago Into all the territory of the northern trans continentals. Little doubt Is expressed that the central lines will follow, though no decision to that effect wa3 given out yeateraay. The O. R. & N. is expected to let the cheap rates Into Portland, the pre sumption being that It3 connections at Huntington will follow Ita connection at Spokane. There was some question as to whether the low rate of the Great Northern wij made in entire good faith. On the facet of it it appeared all right, but the fa t that it must operate to disturb reguli ratea in some measure could not huj been overlooked, and some railroad m n profess to believe that the primary ol Joct was to stir up the rata question, nrd perhaps to extend the cheap fares fir beyond the time named in the Greit Northern's Instructions. ABOLISHING COMMS1SIONS. Canadian Pacific Broujcht in Line With Other Roads. CHICAGO, Oct 4. It was reported In railroad circles here today that the Can adian Pacific had been brought to a point of view which wul soon result in a gen eral abolishment of commmisslons on sales of passenger tickets. The advisory committee of the Western Passenger Association, having charge of trans-Atlantic immigrant business, met here today to consider requests of tho Santa Fe for a greater proportion of the immigrant traffic and to consider a plan for arbitrating tho differences which havo long stood between the Canadian Pacific and the lines belonging to thu Western Passenger Association. It is ur derstood that lie Canadian Pacific h. 1 already agreed -with C. H. Felton, of tin executive commit tee of the Western Pas senger Association, to the selection of h. St John, of the Seaboard Air Line, a- arbiter. The settlement of these differ ences. It Is said on good authority, will dispose of all the objections to the Cana dian Pacific to Joining the executive of ficers' agreement, which provides against the payment of commissions. Southern Pacific Meeting: Postponed. NEW YORK, Oct 4. The meeting of the Southern Pacific Railway directors, that was to have been held today, was put over until tomorrow, because of a lack of a quorum. COWARDLY CHANGE OF BASE Expansionist Stanchfleld Now Talki "Imperialism" to Be Elected. Chicago Tribune. The New York Sun devotes a long edi torial leader to showing that John B. Stanchfleld the Democratic nominee for Governor of New York, was an expan sionist of the most unlimited and uncom promising character a year ago. It quotes from his speeches to prove that this us the case, and Is at pains to show the futility of the shifty excuses by which he now attempts to deny the facts. The Sun proves Its indictment, but in so do ing its wastes good ammunition on pal try outworks. A year ago Mr. Croker was also an earnest advocate of expansion. At that period the New York Journal was like wise strenuously advising expansion a fact which, perhaps, explains why It has so little to say now about Mr. Bryan 3 "paramount Issue." Mr. Bryan himself. In January and February of 1899, was as siduously button-holing his friends at Washington to get them to ratify tho treaty which he now wishes to nulilfj. It Is not to the point to dwell on thre Instances of change of sentiment and at titude It does not tell half the story to show that the men who are against ex pansion now were for It a year or two ago. The point is that ft was largely through the Instrumentality of these men that the Administration Is now copinr with present problems while they kep up a cowardly fire In the rear. It was to a large degree the acts ard wcrds of men like Bryan and Richard Olney that put the Government into its present position. These men favored tha ratification of the Spanish peace treaty and secured It In so far as they repre sented public opinion. Among them they managed to shape events at home and In the Philippines sufficiently to place the Administration where It now stands. Having done so It Is neither patriotic nor honorable to hinder the Government from carrying out the policy which they helped to force upon It If Bryan and the leading men In his party had done nothing to bring on the Spanish war, to ratify the peaco trpatv with Its Philippine clauses and to foment Insurrections after the treaty was signed. It would make little difference whether they changed their attitude on exnanslon or not. It would be no reflection on their patriotism to change their opinions on a matter of National policy. But after hav ing been instrumental in creating new problems, they have no moral right to at tack the Administration which is honest ly trying to solve these problems on the lines shaped partly by themselves. For them to do so under these circumstances Is cowardly, treacherous and eminently unpatriotic. Otiaitiet oft the Census, New York Sun. A New York enumerator, who was per haps something of a sleuth, entered sev eral men In his district variously is "crooks." "pickpockets" and "gamblers." For some reason these were entered un der the head of "not gainful" pursuit-.. A Georgian who ekes out an existence bj doing chores about the neighborhood in which he resides will appear In the eensu i as "odd Jobs." His occupation will b found very properly under the head of "other things." One of the Southern enu merators came across an invalid who has spent several years In the South for his health and promptly entered the sick man's occupation at "traveling for his health." This, of course, was punched under the head of "not gainful." European Collesren Admit Women. New York Post.
