steamer Canada, having Field Marshal
Lord Roberts on board, anchored oft Os
borne at 11:15 A. M. today. The ships In
the Roads were gaily decorated, the sea
front was elaborately decorated with
bunting, and Venetian masts with fes
toons adorned the route to Osborne
House, at the entrance of which Was
erected a unique tribute of the Queen's
appreciation of the Field Marshal's work
In the shape of an arch of laurel. This
was the first time such an arch had ever
appeared there in honor of any subject of
Her Majesty.
A large crowd of people awaited Lord
Roberts' arrival at Trinity Pier landing.
r?ho Field Marshal landed from the
launch at 3:30 P. M., which was the signal
for deafening shouts of welcbme. Prin
cess Beatrice, in the capacity of Governor
of the Isle of Wight, and the Duke of
Connaught, representing the Queen,
awaited Lord Roberts, whose arm was
still in a sling as the result of being
thrown from his horse in South Africa,
He was warmly greeted, and the party
started in royal carriages for Osborne
House. The route was lined with troops
and thronged with cheering sightseers.
When Lord Roberts reached Osborne
House, he found that the Queen was out
driving, and he conversed with several
of the Princesses while waiting for Her
Majesty to return. The audience lasted a
quarter of an hour. Lord Roberts was
then taken to Southampton by the royal
yacbt Alberta, and went on board the

Lady Roberts visited "Windsor Castle, a
fey days before she sailed for the Cape,
to hand her a small parcel, saying: "Here
is something I have tied up with my own
hands, and that I beg you will not open
until you get home." Lady Roberts found
that the parcel contained the Victoria
cross worn by her dead son.
Lord Roberts stopped on his way at
the town hall of East Cowes, where eu
logistic addresses of welcome were pre
sented to him. He then resumed his
drive, and entered the grounds of Os

hall. Lord Roberts said he regretted that
his return was not accompanied by im
mediate peace; but. he added, while he
feared hostilities would continue for some
time, he had Implicit confidence in Lord
Kitchener, and had no fear regarding the
outcome. He concluded with a eulogy of
the magnificent army of Greater Britain,
all the component parts of which, he
pointed out, pulled together splendidly.
"Warnlnpr Front the Press.
LONDON", Jan. 3. Lord Roberts figures
largely in the papers this morning, and
there is a chQrus of eulogistic editorials.
Attention, however. Is given to the seri
ous position Jn South Africa, and to the
need of patience and moderation, and all
appeal to the public to avoid. In what Is
certain to be a tremendous ovation to
day, any misplaced exaltation, and above
all any repetition of the former Indecor
ous scenes that have disgraced the capita
oq former occasions.

CABLE AROUND THE GLOBE
British Scheme for a State-Orrned
Line.
OTTAWA, pnt., Jan. 2. Sanford Flem
ing, one of the principal promoters of
the Pacific cable, has written an open
letter to Hon. William Mulleck, Postmaster-General,
In favor of a state
owned telegraph line encircling the
globe. This is said to be the beginning
of a movement to nationalize the cable
and telegraph services of the British Em
pire. If this were done. Sir Sanford says,
it would reduce the price of messages
to one-eighth or one-tenth of what it
now costs to distant British possessions,
.
Danish Government Is Slow.
NEW TORK Jan. 2.-A dispatch to the
Tribune from London says:
There Is no confirmation In diplomatic
circles In London of the rumors which are
constantly repeated from German and
American sources, that the State Depart
ment is negotiating for the purchase of
the Danish West Indies. It was an open
secret a year ago that the Danish court
was sounded upon tho general subject
by a confidential diplomatic agent, and
that the Stat Department was in a po
sition to obtain the islands, if It wished
to gain possession of two good harbors on
the lines of approach to the Nicaragua
or the Panama Canal. The negotiations
have not been pressed at Copenhagen, nor
have the conferences been abandoned.
It is a sluggish little capital where the
King and his Ministers require time for
working out any new departure In policy.
The German Government has disclaimed
any Idea of purchasing the Islands, but
It will be pleased, without doubt. If ne
gotiations between the United States and
Denmark for ihe cession of the group
do not come to anything. The diplomatic
view here Is that if the Washington Gov
ernment should obtain the islands be
fore committing Itself to any definite
canal policy, it will be the cheapest and
surest safeguard against a future chal
lenge of the Monroe doctrine by a Eu
ropean power.
Nevr Tear's Fires in Chicago.
CHICAGO. Jan. 2. In frozen clothing
and on sheetings of Ice, Chicago's firemen
worked almost continuously yesterday.
Ihe first day of the new century was a
record-breaker in the way of fire alarms.
Up to midnight 35 had rung in. On the
first day of 1900 there were only 20 alarms.
The average Is said to be about 20.
Firemen were scarcely given time to
eat. In some cases a portion of a detach
ment at a fire would have to quit and run
for another fire. Overheated stoves, the
firemen said, caused many of the fires.
Thawing out of gas and water pipes also
contributed Its share. In a majority of
cases the fires were quickly extinguished
and the loss was light.
Work by the firemen was done under
great difficulty, and with considerable suf
fering on account of the extreme cold.
Water thrown against buildings froze and
formed banks of ice. on which the fire
fighters slipped and fell.
In all, seven persons were rescued from
burning buildings by the firemen three at
the West EndTHotel, on West Madison
street, and four at a boarding-house on
Van Buren street.
The total losses of all the fires for the
day amount to $110,000.

the finish line in the lead in the last mile
in the day of racjng at Park-Square Gar

was his closest "competitor, and the last
man in the front lot was not 10 yards
in the rear. The distance at the end pt

and the riders seemed to be in good con
dition. Fischer did heroic work.
The third afternoon brought out 10
starters. The first hour's racing was
slow and uneventful, the 400 miles be
ing reached in 20 hours and 42 seconds,
with Kaser leading. Then Fischer took the
pace and kept it for the rest of the
hour. The 21st hour distance was 418
miles and seven laps. The second hour
was a repetition of the first. Fischer still
leading. The distance was 435 miles, spven
laps. Babcock was 435.2 and Muller 425.5.
Gousoltz was absent from the track
most of the hour, his score being only
311.3. At 2.30 he finally quit, hopelessly
out of the race. At the end of the third
hoilr, McEachern was in the lead. Fischer
led at the 24th hour, the pace being as
slow as ever. At 4:20 he fell from his
wheel and was off the track for about 15
minutes. He was only bruised. Toward
the close of the 25th hour the pace quick
ened a little,-and Fischer led at the fin
ish, although closely pursued by Mc
Eachern and Kaser. The distance was 490
miles, two laps, when the men were
given an hour for supper.
The men were back on the track at 7.0f,
and McEachern Jumped away to the lead
at the start. The race became a pro
cession. At 7:30 Kaser started to sprint.
and shortly after Fischer went down and
Walthour went Into him. The latter was
soon on his feet, but the German was
picked up groggy. His return In 10 min
utes was the signal for a hot burst of
speed in which Kaser and McEachern
led.
The 600-mile mark was passed in 25
hours, 31 minutes 42 seconds, Kaser lead
ing. Early this evening a physician an
nounced to the referee that Gougoltz
had ruptured the left knee and that it
would be Impossible for him to ride any
longer. His leg will have to go Into
splints for a week or more. Stinson, at
the end of the 26th hour, gained the
place by a fine sprint after a hard fight
with Kaser and McEachern. His dis
tance was 509 miles, four laps. The 27th
hour was enlivened by a number of fast
sprints, the evening speed being much
better than before.
Soon after the start Fischer and Wal
thour had the second, spill of the day,
but neither sustained serious injury. Wal
thour taklnjr a fresh wheel without a
rest. The German was a little longer In
getting back, his head being slightly
hurt. Kaser led with 526 miles, seven
laps, at the end of the 27th hour. At
the end of the 2Sth hour, Kaser was in
the lead, his score being 547 miles, three
laps. At the end of the 29th hour Down

INTERSTATE SHOOT.
Daniels and Fanning? Tied and
Agreed to Divide the aioney.
NEW YORK, Jan. 2,-Splendid birds,,
clean, fast flyers, remarkably close shoot
ing and a big attendance of well-known
spectators, all went to make the interstate

shooting event. John P. Daniels, of New

John S. Fanning, of San Francisco, and
Stephen Van Allen, of Jamaica, N. Y.,

were eligible. Bach man had won two of
the handicaps, but Morfey, who tied for
the honors with Van Allen at the last
event, f withdrew, and Van Allen went in
as the' -winner and shot with the others
at the traps. Daniels missed his 18th
bird and killed all the rest, making a
score of 24 kills out of a possible 25. Fan
ning hit his 19th bird hard, but the left
quarterer flew out of bounds and he tied
Daniels with a total of 24 kills. Van
Allen lost his 5th, a low-flying incomer,
which fell dead out of bounds. He also
failed to stop his 11th and withdrew at 16
with 14 kills. Morfey shot at a. lot of
screaming flyers, two of which his 17th
and 21st failed to drop, and he was out
at 23. This left Daniels and- Fanning tied
and they agreed to divide the money, and
did so.

CANADIAN INDEPENDENCE.
New Political Movement on Foot In
Montreal.
NEW YORK, Jan. 2. A special to the
Times from Montreal says:
For Some time past there has
been some discussion about the do
ings of an allied "Independence
Club" In Montreal, but the man
agers of the new movement did not appear
to Judge the time opportune for appealing
to the public. A good deal of Interest was
added to the movement by the fact that
during the Paris exposition a large num
ber of young men appeared in Paris wear
ing "Independence of Canada" buttons,
and an attempt was made to connect J. I.
Tarto and J. X. Perrault, the Canadian
commissioners, with the movement, be
cause a number of "Independence" but
tons were among the spoils recovered
from men who had burglarized Mr. Per
rault's house.
Mr. Perrault, explained, however, that
these buttons were about 15 years old
and he had changed his views since. Now
the Canadian Independence League has is
sued its platform and constitution, but
declined to publish its list of officers and
members. The constitution consists of 18
clauses, of which the first eight are:
First Dissolution of the colonial rela-
, tion and declaration of-Independence.
Second New federation to be known as
United States of Canada.
Third Province to become slates with
sovereign power.
, Fourth Federal authority to have only
such powers as shall he specially dele-
I gated to It by sovereign states.
I FifthNo power shall be delegated 'to
the federal authoritiy except with the as
sent of the majority of delegates of each
of the sovereign states convened In a na
tional assembly. .
Sixth Creation of a state militia under
f command of a federal officer.
Seventh Universal- suffrage.
Eighth The great highways arid serv
ices (railways, canals, telegraphs, etc.)
to be public property.
Others deal with changes in laws along
socialist lines.
Harrison In a Gas Company.
INDIANAPOLIS. Ind., Jan. 2 Ex-Pres-Ident
Harrison today was elected a direc
tor of the Consumers' Gas Company, of
this city, and has indicated his willing
ness to serve. "The selection was made as
a concession to public opinion. His posi
tion on the board of directors will be
looked upon as a guarantee that the com
pany will change Its attitude in respect
to certain demands that are made upon
the people. Chief among these is the
abandonment of the open-grate system
and the substitution of meters for nat
ural gas measurement, a step that the
company has Insisted upon and which Mr.
Harrison is known to oppose.

RUSSIA'S SECRET TREATY
GIVES HER; POSSESSION OF THE
2IANCHTJRIAN FRONTIER.
The Conditions on "Which China Is
Permitted to Resume Civil Govern
mentOther Agreements Pending:.
LONDON, Jan. 3. The Pekln corre
spondent, of the Daily Mall, wiring Janu
ary 1, says:
"Russia, by conciliation, Is trying to se
cure special advantages, and there Is a
strong belief that she will receive Ameri
can support It is hinted that Russia in
spired unfounded charges of barbarity
against the German tfoops, her motive
being to sow. dissension between Great
Britain and Germany."
In dispatch to the Times from Pekin,
dated December 31, Dr. Morrison gives the
text of the Russe-Ghinese- agreement for
the Russian protection of the Manchurlan
Province, of FeauTiny. Russia, he says,
consents that China, shall resume the civil
government on the following conditions:
First The Tartar General, Tseng, un
dertakes to protect and pacify the prov
inces and assist in the construction of
tha railway,
Second He must treat, feed and lodge
Russians' engaged in the military opera
tions and construction of the Yailway.
Third He must disarm and disband the
Chinese soldiers, delivering to the Rus
sians all ammunition In such arsenals as
the Russians have not yet occupied.
Fourth All forts and defenses in the
province not occupied by the Russians and
all powder magazines not required by
them must be dismantled In the presence
of Russian officials.
Fifth New Chwang and other places
now in Russian occupation shall be re
stored to the Chinese civil administra
tion when Russia is Efitisfled that the
pacification of the province is 'complete.
Sixth The Chinese shall maintain law
and order by local police under a Tartar
grant.
Seventh A Russian political resident,
with general powers of controls shall bo
stationed at Mukden, to whom the Tartar
General, Tseng, must give all information
respecting any important measures.
Eighth In the event of tho local police
being Insufficient for any emergency, Gen
eral Tseng will notify the Russian resi
dent and incite Russia to send reinforce
ments. Ninth The Russian text shall be the
standard.
"The functions given the Russian resi
dent," says Dr. Mcrrison, "are Blmllar
to those of the Russian resident In Bok
hara, or those of the British residents in
the native states of India. The agree
ment will necessarily be followed by sim
ilar agreements with reference to the
two other provinces. The Manchuria
government will be de facto, a Russian
protectorate, Russia, by a pre-existing
arrangement having already the right to
maintain all troops necessary for the pro
tection of the railway."
Commenting upon the Information
transmitted by Dr. Morrison, the Times
says: ""
"Tho problem raised Is very serious. The
agreement is utterly irreconcilable with
Russian attituae toward China and tha
assurances ate has volunteered to the
powers. In fact, the situation contem
plated by the Anglo-German agreement
seems definitely to confront us."
CHINA'S GUARANTEE.
She Can Prove Her Sincerity by the
Punishment of Boxers.
WASHINGTON, ' Jan. 2. Following, at
an -Interval of one day, close upon his an
nouncement that 'the Chinese Emperor
had decreed the acceptance of the Pekln
agreement, Minister .Qqnger cabled the
State Department, under date of Pekln,
January 1. that "tlhe next stop had been'
taken, and that the Ministers had been
notified formally not only that the agree
ment was accepted by the Chinese Gov
ernment, but that that government felt
able to guarantee a performance of the
conditions Imposed.
It Is apprehended that there will be
much difficulty in settling the important
subject of Indemnities, The rearrange
ment of the commercial treaties between
China and the powers, which Is provided
for only in general terms in the agree
ment, is expected to present equal diffi
culties. It is absolutely essential to har
monious relations in the future that thoro
shall be no discrimination in the making
of these treaties. If by covert arrange
ment one power Is to obtain commercial
advantage over the others, the result will
be the cause of dissatisfaction. There
fore, it is within the bounds of probability
tihat the outcome of the negotiations under
this subhead of the agreement touching
commercial arrangements will be the
framing of something like a general con
vention, which may be signed collectively
or singly by the powers, but which will
insure uniform treatment to all.
The Chinese Government's guarantee of
Its ability to perform the acts called for
by the agreement is now expected to be
followed by the prompt arrest and punish
ment of the Boxer leaders and -sympathizers
who were named in the decree of
last September, as follows: Prince
Chwang, Prince Ylh, secondary Princes
Tsall Hen and TBal Ylng, Prince Tuan,
Duke Tsui Lah, and the President of the
Censorate, Ylng Nien, assistant Grand
Secretary of the Civil Board, and Chao
Chu Chiao.
THE MINISTERS SURPRISED.
They Did Not Look for Such Prompt
Acceptance.
NEW YORK. Jan. 2. A dispatch to the
Herald from Pekin says:
The prompt acceptance by the Chinese
Government of the preliminary demands
of the powers has taken away the breath
of ttie Foreign Ministers, who are not pre
pared to go dn. If they do so the differ
ences of art apparently irreconcilable na
ture, which the question of Indemnity cre
ates in diplomatic quarters, will be re
vealed. As a precaution and for the sake
of delay the Ministers have asked the
Chinese plenipotentiaries to put the ac
ceptance of the note in a solemn form.
It is generally believed that Paris and
Washington will take the initiative in fu
ture negotiations.
RelTable Information came from the
court today that the Emperor has suc
ceeded in Bending- General Tung Fuh Slang
and his army westward. His Majesty is
preparing to return to Pekin by slow
marches. He will not enter the city until
the allies leave.
RETURN OF CQNSUL GOODNOW.
He Believes a Satisfactory Scttle
xnent Will Soon Be Reached.
SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 2. John Good
now, United States Consul - General to
China, with residence at Shanghai, ar
rived in this city on. the City of Peking.
After a brief visit to Washington he will
spend his 60 days' leave of absence at his
old home in Minnesota. In speaking of
the probable outcome of the Chinese'
troubles, he said:
"I believe a satisfactory settlement will
be reached along the Jlnes laid down by
the President. The Chinese, who are
working for the Integrity of their coun
try, are friendly toward the United States,
and are ready to assist in a prompt and
amicable settlement. The uprising was
by no means a popular move with the
great mass Of the peaceable Chinese pop
ulation. From the very first they deplored
the acts of their fellow-countrymen."
In regard to the missionaries and their
position in China, Mr. Goodnow thinks
there is still a great field for successful
work, and their continued presence in the
Orient should be encouraged. He, how
ever, is of the opinion that it would not be
best to send missionaries outside the
treaty ports until "peace has been, pro
clalmed, ,
Mr. Goodnow has a good word for the
American troops which were sent to
China, and he also praises the work of a
little band of women sent by a philan
thropic committee of New York people, of
which Mrs. Whitelaw Reld was chairman,
to provide the sick and needy with hos
pital supplies and comforts. Two mem
bers of this band returned on the Peking.
They are Miss E. B. Ridley end Miss M.
Henshaw.
A. F. Chanot, proprietor of the Hotel de
Pekln. which was destroyed during the
Boxer outrages, is also here. He and his
wife were Intrenched in the hotel during
the terrible siege, and miraculously es
caped the deadly fire of shrapnel which
ultimately leveled the hotel building to
the ground. Chanot brought with him a
pony which was to have been sacrificed
for fcod on the very day that rescue. came
from the allied armies.
Austrlans Are Skeptical.
NEW YORK. Jan. 2. A dispatch to the
Herald from Vienna says:
The latest developments In the Chinese
question are favorably received in official
quarters here. Remarks are heard in
some quarters, however, against too op
timistic a view of future events. The
acceptance of the Joint note may, after
all, result in -a triumph for China, be
cause she hopes thereby to obtain an arm
istice, and possibly may have already
done so. It will be ascertained in a few
days, when negotiations are in progress,
whether the arrangement will work. The
entire course of events thus far has left
some scepticism here regarding the sin
cerity of the Chinese love for peace.
A Disastrous Salute.

TRADE EXPANSION ON COAST
The Increase Confined Almost Ex
clusively to Exports.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 25 (Special to
New York Journal of Commerce.) It will
probably seem a wild or exaggerated
statement to say that the export trade of
the Pacific- Coast, has more than doubled
In the last half dozen years. As a matter
of fact, it doubled within three years, be
tween 1834 and 1897, increasing from $32,
471.417 In ISM, to $64,707,374 in 1S97. Since
then it has fallen backward to $61,563,678
last year. But the record will be broken
In the calendar year just closing, with
total exports worth more than $70,000,000
-from all Pacific Coast ports.
This growth in shipments of American
products and manufactures to foreign
markets from our far Western seaboard
has been without a corresponding increase
In our Imports from those countries that
the Pacific Coast supplies. In 1894 our im
ports at Pacific Coast ports amounted m
value to less than $42,500,000. In 1S99 they
were $58,887,867, an Increase of only 40 per
cent in imports, while the gain in exports
was 100 'per cent. The imports for this
calendar year- will amount to $52,000,000,
as compared with exports worth at least
$70,000,000.
Ten years ago the foreign trade to and
from Pacific Coast ports suffered a de
cline It fell off from previous higher
figures both in imports and exports, and
it seemed as if a period of trade stagna
tion had become permanent. This cul
minated, however, with the year 1894,
which was low-water mark. In the fol
lowing year there "was a gain of $4,300,000
in imports and of nearly $10,000,000 In ex
ports. The next year, 1896, showed a de
crease of $3,600,000 in Imports, but a gain of
$17,000,000 in exports, wfiilch reached $59,
140,000 thus making a, net gain pf $13,-400,000
for that year. In 1897 imports increased
.by $S,70O,Q0O, and exports by $5,570,000, mak
ing a, further gain of $14,270,000 for tha't
year. In -1S33 the imports, fell back, by
$5,000,000, and the exports by $2,286,000, a
net loss of $7,2b0,000, as compared with 1897.
Last year the imports gained $12,700,000,
while the exports made a further decline
of $560,000. Following is the exhibit:
Pacific Coast Ports.

1894 $42,41,822 $32,471,417

1896 43,104,32 69,140,338

1889 58,857.867 61,863,678
1900 43,387,238 59,601,411
Ten months only.
Of course the war with Spain has tend
ed to Increase the foreign trade of the
Pacific Coast ports. But that it has
not been the only controlling factor is,
clearly shown from the Pacific Coast ex
ports of 1897, the year before the war,
which were of greater value than In
either 1898 or 1899. This year both im
ports and exports will break all previous
records, the former amounting to about
$52,000,000, and the latter to $72,000,000.
What is most satisfactory in this show
ing of our trans-Pacific trade is the
change in its balance from a debit to a
credit one. In 1894 we Imported $10,000,000
more than we exported, and in 1895 to the
extent of $4,600,000 more. Since then ou
sales have exceeded our purchases every
year, the excess of exports being $16,000,
000 in 1S96, nearly $13,000,000 in 1897, over
$16,000,000 in 1898, only $3,000,000 last yea,
while for the year Just ending our Pa
cific Coast exports will aggregate fully
$20,000,000 more than our Imports.
Steamships sailing to Australian porta
have for a long time past had larger of
ferings of cargo than they could carry.
This trouble will, to an extent, be obvlatea
by the three new steamers of the Oceanic
Company, one of which is now on her
maiden voyage to the colonies. Between
1894 and 1900 our exports to Australasia
have increased by 200 per cent, from $3,131,
000 in 1S94 to $26,725,000 this year. Japan
has been buying largely of American cot
ton in recent years, and this has tended
to increase the volume of the Pacinc
Coast's exports. With both China and
Japan our trade is now in our favor,
whereas a few years ago the balance was
against us. There have been large ship
ments of American flour and all kinds of
machinery, steel rails and locomotives to
both countries, including what is Intended
for use in Russian Siberia, though much
of this goes direct from the Atlantic sea
board. Bryan Again Ualclns: Speeches.
