APPEAL TO ENGLAND
China Seeking to Escape
from Russians-Grasp;'
BUT FAILED IN THE EFFORT
Indications Are -That llie'ARrecraent
"Will Be Signed Japanese diplo
matic OlUclal Openly Talks
"War Legation Guards.
LONDON. March 25. The Chinese Min
ister. Sir Chih Chen LoFens Luh. called
at the Foreign Office today and urged the
British Government to bring pressure to
bear In order to .prevent Russians from
securing the necessary signatures of the
Manchurlan agreement. The Foreign Of
fice Is still in the dark tonight as to
whether the agreement will be signed or
allowed to lapse -when the time expires,
March 26. The officials of the Japanese
Legation are inclined to believe Russia
will succeed In getting the necessary sig
natures. The situation h? more compli
cated, owing to the fact ascertained by
a representative of the Associated Press
today that there are two secret treaties,
one of -which is to be signed at St Peters
burg, dealing with her civil powers.
The Chinese appeals for support have
failed to produce any direct remonstrances
from Great Britain or apparently from
any power to St. Petersburg, for Russia
persistently adheres to her contention that
the agreements concern no one except
herself and China. On this ground. Great
Britain's request for copies of the agree
ment was abruptly declined.
It is expected at the Foreign Office here
that It -would be a dangerous and useless
breach of diplomatic procedure to en
deavor to enter upon expostulations with
Russia, which would only be based upon
Information supplied by the Chinese. In
other words, the copies of secret treaties
and alleged modifications of them recently
given to the powers by the Chinese are
worthless documents, and will remain
euch until Russia herself chooses to com
municate the text of the actual treaties
and modifications.
In the absence of the Japanese Minis
ter in London. Baron Hayashi. Mr. Matsul,
first secretary of the Japanese Legation,
made a comprehensive statement of the
issues involved. He said:
"Russia's insistence, China's help
lessness and the probable victory of Rus
sian diplomacy tomorrow will bring us
to the brink of a dangerous situation In
which none of the powers is so deeply
concerned as Japan. Even If the secret
treaties have been modified, as Is alleged,
the changes are so trifling as to make the
documents thoroughly objectionable to
Japan. Assuming that China signs the
treaties, I suppose Great Britain, Ger
many and the United States will protest
to Russia. But that is about as far as
they -will go, and about as much as they
could get.
"With Japan It Is a matter of fighting.
The question Is -whether we are to fight
Russia now or to fight her later on. She
has no right to Manchuria, and if she se
cures Manchuria she will be on the way
to securing Corea. Our government, I be
lieve. Is seriously considering the crisis.
Their eyes are wide open, and they -will
not be driven to precipitate action by the
jlngoists of Japan, -who are openly clam
oring for immediate war. Yet if they see
that -war is unavoidable they will not
hesitate to strike. Japan has no reason
to bo afraid as to the result. Many rea
sons occur to the average Japanese mind
in favor of forcing at the present mo
ment a struggle which must come eventu
ally. The chief reaspn against so doing
3s the fact that Japan is just beginning
a new industrial era, which would be
temporarily killed should we endeavor by
force of arms to prevent Russian en
croachments. "If -we follow the lead of other powers
and do not threaten hostilities, we real
ize that we must sit down tamely and
eee another nation step in to- make agree
ments similar to those which China seems
on the verge of signing -with Russia. This
would mean the partition of the Chinese
Empire and the end of the 'open door.'
If we opposed It. we naturally think we
should have the moral support of the
Vhlted States, which has been the cham
pion of these principles, and also of Great
Britain and Germany."
The Pekfn correspondent of the Dally
Mall declares that the alleged modification
of the Manchurlan convention regarding
Mongolia and Turkestan is "absolutely
illusory."
HOW CHINA COULD PAY.
By IncrcnwlnB Certain Taxes a Fund
Might Be liaised.
PEKIN, March 25. A special committee
of Ministers appointed to consider China's
ability to meet the Indemnity claims Is
well forward -with the work of Investigat
ing the resources of the empire. Sir Rob
ert Hart, Director-General of the Impe
rial Maritime Customs, has been exam
ined, as have also the managers of rep
resentative Chinese banks, many pawn
brokers and other Chinese financiers. The
Consular reports for a number ot years
hack have been closely read. It now ap
pears that -from all sources the annual re
venue aggregates about $05,000,000 gold, de
rived from the land tax, the grain tax, the
llkin, the customs, the opium tax and
miscellaneous imports. The largest two
Items are the land tax, which brings in
$14,000,000, and the foreign customs, -which
yields $12,000,000. In the opinion of all the
foreigners who have participated in the
examination, the land tax could bo
doubled and even tripled without much
hardship, and the salt tax oould be raised
from $6,000,000 to 520.000.000. It Is believed
that the total increase could be made to
amount to $150,000,000. If then, the imperial
expenses could be reduced to $45,000,000
there -would be left available for the
liquidation, of Interest on loans and the
Indemnity fund the sum of $105,000,000. and
making allowances it would be possible
to pay the indemnity -within 20 years.
THE LEGATION GUARDS.
Ministers Cannot Agree on the Po
lice Question.
PEKIN. March 24. The foreign Minis
ters seem utterly unable to agree as to
the best method of policing the legation
quarter. The proposition most favored
hy the majority and most complained of
by the minority is one providing that men
of the regular armies shall be detailed
for the service under one officer, connect
ed with the allies. United States Spe
cial Commissioner Rockhill Is one who ob
jects to this plan, as is also the British
Minister, Sir Ernest Satow, who .says
that though an international force is de
sirable, It would be better that tho police
detail should be composed of soldiers who
are not liable to be called away when
they are most useful. It is also unde
sirable, he thinks, that the commandant
should be an officer actively connected
with any army, while the Intention to
make each legation practically an armed
camp is a great mistake and is liable to
cause friction; and It would be better far
to make a general international district.
Thfe time which the Russians, have given
the Cfclneee to sign the ManchurianJigree
ment expires Tuesday, and should the
agreement not be signed then Russia will
break off the negotiations. The agree
ment practically annexes Manchuria.
Prince Chlng and LLHung Chang consult
ed this morning but did "not decide either
to sign the convention or appeal to the
powers. On behalf of China Li Hung
Chang desires to express gratitude to
America for'hev position In the matter.
The attitude of M. de Glers. the Russian
Minister, at the meeting of the foreign
representatives, is embarrassing, and
causes considerable annoyance. He re
fuses either to agree with the other Min
isters, or hold apart entirely.
A committee -will consider the question
of China's ability as regards Indemnity,
and the most practical methods for guar
anteeing payment of indemnity to tho
powers.
It is not thought likely, on account of
Sir Robert Hart's increasing age and the
gradual approach of feebleness, that he
will continue long In charge of the Impe
rial customs on behalf of the powers.
The bodies of Captain Riley and seven
enlisted men, -which were burled at the
American Location, were removed t tho
Temple of Agriculture this morning with
military nonors, General- Chaffee and his
entire staff accompanying the remains.
The hody of an American marine, which
was buried at the Russian Legation, will
be removed Tuesday with the same hon
ors. The bodies will leave on board the
transport Egbert for the United States
about the middle of April. The Signal
Corps has completed all arrangements,
and is awaiting transportation to Manila.
OBJECTIONS NOT STRONG ENOUGH.
Chlno-Rnssinn Agreement Mny Be
Signed.
WASHINGTON, March 25. Mr. Rockhill,
our Special Commissioner at Pekln, has
been heard from further respecting the
conditions there, and it Is said that his
report is confirmatory to the latest press
advices. Touching the question of the
size of the legation guards, which appears
to be giving concern, It Is pointed out that
the United States was the first of the pow
ers to reduce her military force in China
to the status of a legation guard, and now
that our guard is of the proper propor
tionnamely, two companies the Euro
pean powers In some Instances have in
contemplation several times this number
for their own guards, and It is that fact
that leads to the conviction that the Chi
nese court will not return to Pekln unless
all powers reduce their contingents to the
proportions of our legation guard.
The advices from Pekln and other quar.
ters are beginning to clear up some mis
apprehension of the Indemnities claimed
hy the different powers. A recent pub
lished report -was that Germanj's claim
amounted to $SO,000,000. The basis for this
Is the large military establishment -which
Germany sent to China and has main
tained up to the present, amounting to
17,600 men.
The information reaching diplomatic
quarters here is to the effect that the
objections to the Chlno-Russian agree
ment on Manchuria have not been of such
a decisive character as to prevent the
signing of the document, and it is expect
ed that It will be executed today or to
morrow, unless Russia voluntarily with
draws the agreement. (Moreover, in case
the document is signed, there Is no idea
that serious results will follow In the way
of an open breach between the powers.
Japan has gone farther In protesting, but
even her objections do not go to the point
of Indicating that force will be used if the
agreement Is signed. The warlike tone of
reports from Japan are not taken to refer
so much to Manchuria as to Corea, and
Japan's present purpose Is understood to
be to prevent the Manchurlan agroement
from becoming a Russian stepping-stone
to Corea.
The State Department has received from
Mr. Allen, our Minister at Seoul, dis
patches confirming the cable report of the
removal of McCleevy Brown, the Minister
General of Corean Customs. As this ac
tion of the Emperor, undertaken at the
behest of Russia, goes far to wipe out
the Integrity of Corea, according to the
estimate of the officials here, it will not
be allowed to pass without a remon
strance on our part, for the officials are
convinced that Russian domination of
Corea would mean the extinguishment of
American interests In that quarter, and
these In recent years have become impor
tank
'Russia .Agrees to Modifications.
LONDON. March 25. A dispatch from
Pekln avers that the Russian Government
has consented to a number of modifica
tions In the Manchurlan convention, the
principal ones being:
Iviao Chou and Port Arthur shall not be
annexed, but shall be leased from the
Chinese Government, as heretofore; Rus
sia, will not insist upon there being a Rus
sian resident at Moukden; the Chinese
Army will be permitted to maintain or
der In Manchuria prior to the completion
of the Manchurlan Railway which, while
In course of construction will not neces
sarily require the protection of Russian
troops; Russia will forego her demand
that mining and railway concession in
Mongolia. Turkestan and Kashgarla shall
be granted to none but Russian subjects.
Russia stipulates, however, that none but
Chinese and Russians shall be allowed to
undertake such enterprises.
In consequence of these concessions tho
Russian Government asks for an early
signature of the convention.
Murdered "While Doing Good "Work.
TIEN TSIN, March 25. Inquiries show
that the Rev. J. Stonehouse, of the Lon
don Missionary Society, who, as announced

HANNA AND DEADLOCKS
PARTY DENIED THE LEGITIMATE
KIGHTS OK ITS VICTORY.
Efforts of the Nntlonal Committee to
Sccnre Elections In Nebraska
nnd Delaware.
NEW YORK. March 25. The Times
says:
United States Senator Hanna was inter
viewed last night on matters of public
interest He .said:.
"So far as I am personally concerned, I
am opposed to the electing of United
States Senator by the direct vote of the
people. Still, I can see that an amend
ment to the Constitution providing for the
popular election of Senators will be en
couraged by obstinate deadlocks In Leg
islatures, as In Nebraska and Delaware.
We should be very conservative In tink
ering with the Constitution. The trouble
with the present method of electing
members of the United States Senate is
that the will of the people, as expressed
at the polls. Is sometimes delayed or held
up Indefinitely.
"Why, after the last National election,
was there delay in choosing United States
Senators in accordance wun the expressed
will of the people In five or six states?
And here we have two states, each car
ried by the Republicans, each with a Re
publican Legislature, deprived of repre
sentation In the United States Senate
Delaware and Nebraska.
"The deadlock in Nebraska makes every
Republican Indignant The party there is
clearly denied the legitimate rights of Its
victory. All that I have done as chair
man of the National committee in both
Delaware and Nebraska has been to favor
the election of two Republican" Senators.
"It has been stated in the Philadelphia
papers that I was using my Influence in
favor of Mr. Addicks In Delaware. The
statement was untrue. I have said no
word, I have exerted no influence in favor
of any oerson or faction as ajrainst nn-
other. As my action was In Delaware, so
It has been and still is In Nebraska. The
time for the election In Nebraska will ex
pire during this week, and I hope some
thing will develop tomorrow favorable to
breaking the deadlock."
THIRTY BALLOTS, NO CHOICE.
Indications Not Favorable for a Set
tlement of the Nebraska Deadlock.
LINCOLN, Neb., March 25. Thirty bal
lots were taken in the long term Sena
torial caucus tonight without nomination
and at 11 o'clock the caucus adjourned
until tomorrow night The last ballot
resulted:
Rosewater 32Currie 6

On the 10th ballot, Mr. Baldrldge, who is
a State Senator from Douglas County,
received four votes. The prediction Is
made by a number of members tonight
that there will be no settlement of the
deadlock for either the long or short
term. D. E. Thompson was expected to
make his greatest showing of strength
at today's Joint session, but he still lacked
five votes of election. A resolution fixing

DID NOT LIKE THE NAME.
Mrs. Nation Surprised a St. Louis
Snloon-TCeeper.
ST. LOUIS. March 25. Mrs. Nation
stopped In St Louis 30 minutes today en
route to Cincinnati and Lexington, Ky.
While waiting in the Union Station to
meet her Eastern connections, somebody
told her tho proprietor of the Nation Sa
loon, not far from the Union Station, had
threatened dire vengeance if she ever en
tered his place.
"I'd like to see that man," Mrs. Na
tion exclaimed, and her eyes gleamed.
"Who'll show me where he Is?"
The crowd melted like snow In the
Springtime. Nobody volunteered. Mrs.
Nation went trotting off to find a police
man. She found two or three.
"Where is the Nation Saloon?" she
asked. "Take me there; I won't smash
I Just want to see the man that said he
was laying for me if I ever came to St.
Louis."
The policemen smiled, tipped their hats
and blushed. They did not volunteer to
act as escorts.
"Well." said Mrs. Nation, "I want to
go, but I must attend to my satchels
first I have not got long and I must put
them where I can get them quick."
She checked them in the main lunch
room and, gathering a score of small
boys about her, started for the saloon.
The crowd followed her down Market
street at a run. Mrs. Nation walked In
at the front door, the boys still following.
Sauerburger, the proprietor, was behind
the bar. A crowd filled the doors and the
street In front They yelled and cheered
her on?.
"Who are you?" said Sauerburger, his
eyes popping out and a determined ex
pression coming over his face.
"I'm Carrie Nation," was the reply.
"Well, you'd better get out of here."
"If you want me to get out, put me out"
Mrs Nation gathered her long black
veil closer about her head and stood still.
"What are you doing here? That's
what I want to know."
"That's what I am here for," she
shouted.
"I'm running the saloon."
"What do you call it?"
"The Nation Saloon."
"I don't like that. I don't want hell
named after me."
"I've got a right to call it that I be
long to the Nation, and so do all these
men. So do you, don't you?"
"Yes, but I don't want any Buch place
named after me."
Then, to a man who was drinking a
glass of beer, she exclaimed: "You will
go to hell, sir. You ought to stop that"
"You'd better get out Mrs. Nation,"
said Sauerburger again.
"If you want me to go out put me out"
Sauerburger went In search of a police
man, but could not find one. Mrs. Na
tion stayed as long as she could without
missing her train. Then she laughed at
Sauerburger.
"I did not mean to smash anything,"
she Bald. She then gave her hand to the
crowd that stood about, and started
on her return to the station. After she
disappeared Sauerburger pulled from his
right coat pocket a loaded revolver.
"If she had even made a move to
smash anything, I would have killed her
sure."
It was while eating a sandwich at the
lunch counter, before her visit to the
saloon, that Mrs. Nation said she would
not smash If she could only vote.' She
had Just shaken hands with a dozen small
boys.
"They're going to take up my work
when I'm done. They can vote and the
vote is the best hatchet If I could vote
I would not smash any more."

CARNEGIE OFFER REJECTED
At the Instance of a Labor Union In
a Pennsylvania Town.
NEWCASTLE, Pa., March 25. Owing
lu "' aiuiuac or the labor unions,
the City Council will. In all probability
reject the $50,000 offer of Andrew Carnegie
for a public library for this place. Fol
lowing the action of the trades assembly,
division 89, Amalgamated Association of
Street-Railway Employes, has adopted a
resolution protesting against the accept
ance of the gift A committee to whom
the matter had been referred at a pre
vious meeting, reported the following:
"That such donations are Inimical to
that Independence American manhood Is
assumed to possess (on general prin
ciples;, and especially so In this case when
such flagrant Injustice, even to murder,
has been done to those whose toll is
represented in every dollar of the money
thus tendered.
"To erect such a library here, and by
its silent or its partisan outspoken Influ
ence, Induce our children to look upon
It as a logical, necessary and unavoidable
method of obtaining certain benefits, tends
to destroy In their minds any idea of
National Justice or human rights, and
make of them willing supplicants at the
mercy of this system of corporate greed
which deals out a part of the sum In char
ity It originally appropriated from the
producers to whom It alone rightfully be
longs, which sum. if they had fully re
ceived, would have enabled them to
have owned a library Instead of now be
ing, as are all others who are similarly
robbed, the objects of charity. It would
be something like a semblance of Jus
tice If these donations were made to
the widows and orphans of Homestead.
We deem them as worthy of remembrance
as the Maine.
"A city will enrich enormously a few
men and then be Itself an obleet of char
ity. We, therefore, condemn this library
move as an Insult to him It Is said it
will benefit most, the worklngman; he
does not want charity, but Justice."
. PROPER USE OF WEALTH.
Carnegie Commended by New York
Pastors.
NEW YORK, March 25. Dr. Madison C.
Peters, of the Sumner-Avenue Baptist
Church, Brooklyn, and the Rev. Henry
Frank, of the Metropolitan Independent
Church, both referred yesterday to An
drew Carnegie's offer of $5,200,000 to New
York City for 65 library buildings.
"Mr. Carnegie, by his benevolence, has
clipped the wings of riches so that they
don't fly away," said Dr. Peters In his
sermon last evening, "while at the same
time he has sweetened the breath of so
ciety and deprived the agitator of his
stock In trade when he Infuriates the moh
to deeds of violence and confiscation.
When the rich men of America and all
other lands shall stretch out to the strug
gling masses of humanity the kindliness
of Mr. Carnegie they will do what shot
and shell cannot do; what severe laws
severely executed cannot do end the age
of dynamite."
"Andrew Carnegie Is a revolutionist."
declared Mr. Frank. "With one bold
stroke he has uptorn by the roots one of
the vested Ideas of the race. It has al
ways been assumed that he who acquired
wealth was Its only rightful owner and
possessor, despite the claims of all con
testants. But this prince of industry,
whose wealth has almost reached the top
notch of human achievement seems to
have discovered a new gospel and fear
lessly proclaims Its principles.
" 'Whosoever holds his wealth for self
ish use alone is a thief; he who dies over
burdened with wealth is a criminal.'
These sentences are the only logical de
ductions to be made from the recent ut
terances of this philanthropic Iconoclast.
Such language coming from the mouths
of social agitators would be declared riot
ous and anarchistic; coming from the lips
of one of jearth's greatest millionaires, it
Is certainly little less than revolutionary.
"Mr. Carnegie's philanthropic chef
d'oeuvre has created genuine consterna
tion in the ranks of the bourbon rich.
The old-school millionaires, who either
devoted themselves to the narrow envir
onment of the business office, or squan
dered their wealth In lavish expenditure
and luxurious abandonment, frequenting
the cafes, emblazoning to the world their
jeweled splendors, surrounded by women
clad In decollete attire, who sought little
more In life than either the delight of
industry or the fascination of dissipa
tion, And In this Industrial hero a silent
rebuke which must, In time, force them
to the recognition of their folly and the
pursuit of sturdier Ideals."
A STRANGE CASE.
Death of Brother and Sister in the
Same Hospital.
CHICAGO, March 25. Without either
knowing of the other's Illness, Mrs. Mary
Williams and John Reynolds, brother and
sister, who had been separated for 10
years, died in the Dunning Hospital for
Consumptives within an hour of each
other. The officials did not know of the
relationship until the undertaker called
to remove the bodies.
Ten years ago John Reynolds went to
Denver and the far West to make his
fortune. After several months letters
from him ceased to come, and Mrs. Will
iams thought he had died and left no
identification whereby his relatives could
be traced. As tho years rolled by with
no word from him, she was more suro
than ever that he was dead. In the
meantime consumption had taken hold of
Mrs. Williams, who was now a widow,
and her daughter had her removed to the
Hospital for Consumptives. Three weeks
ago John Reynolds returned to Chicago
dying of consumption. Then his sister
was too weak to be told of his return,
and last week he was taken to Dunning
and placed In the ward directly opposite
where his sister lay. He had not been
told of her illness, and supposed she was
out of town. The physicians In charge
saw there was no hope In either case,
and so notified the friends of both. At
noon Reynolds breathed his last, and his
sister's demise was chronicled an hour
later.
Decision in Grain-Gambling Suit.
CHICAGO, March 25. According to a de
cision handed down In the Appellate
Court today by Judge Adams, defendants
In suits to recover alleged gambling losses
may be compelled In the Chancery Court
to answer questions concerning the al
leged Illegal speculations. This ruling was
announced in deciding the appeal In the
suit of Edward Doyle against John Rob
son for the recovery of $600,000. The ac
tion was taken under the statute which
permits any citizen, after six months have
elapsed, to bring suit for three times the
amount alleged to have been lost In a
gambling transaction. The declarations
filed by Doyle made the allegation that
Alexander Geddcs and John B. Dutch had
each lost $100,000 In deals In puts and calls
on grain transactions with John Robson,
whp was alleged to be a member of the
Board of Trade.

Pe-ru-na is Known the World Over as an Ideal Spring

Why I'S It ndMaMay
are so trying to
the nerves and
so sure to produce blood derangements?
The fact that it Is so Is known to nearly
everybody. But why It Is so Is not so
clear to many.
Some of the reasons are that the brac
ing air of Winter Is a thing of the past.
The enervating nearness of the Spring
equinox Is felt. The gathering heat of
the tropics begins to send premonitions
of Its approach. The reaction of lassitude
that follows the nerve tension of Winter
Insidiously threatens everybody. Hence
the prevalence of nervous diseases., flag
ging energies, depression of spirits, tend
ency to weariness and a continuous sense
of tiredness.
The tonic that restores without stimu
lating Is Peruna. Unlike the. bitter tonics
of quinine and strychnia, Peruna docs not
key the nerves up to a high tension, but
refreshes and restores them with a last
ing exhilaration which only natural
strength can bring.
Peruna is not a quick, flashy, tempo
rary prod to the nervous system, but a
gentle rejuvenating tonic that restores
the nervous system to a perfect balance.

ther than that the President and his

by the Northern route and visit the Pan
American Exposition at Buffalo before
coming buck to Washington. President
McKlnley and his Cabinet officers will be

order In the Spring? . This Is directly due
to the almost Inevitable indigestion of
Spring. During the Winter months much
more food is required to protect the body
agalnst the vicissitudes of the climate.
Digestion has been prodded to its ut
most. As Spring approaches, the system re
quires less, and soon becomes clogged by
excess of nutrition. This loads the blood
with unnecessary nutritive material. Very
quickly the digestive organs themselves
become deranged. Except by the strictest
diet, this cannot be avoided.
A catarrhal condition of the whole di
gestive tract very quickly results. Pe
runa restores digestion by bringing the
mucous membranes of the stomach and
other digestive organs into a normal con
dition. This Immediately clears the blood
of all Superfluous material.
To cleanse the stream, the source of
the stream must be cleansed. The source
of the blood Is the digestion. To cleanse
the blood, the source must be cleansed.
Peruna makes perfect digestion. Peruna
corrects Impure blood by correcting the
fountain from which these Impurities
spring. No medicine can cleanse the blood
that does not produce perfect digestion.
The dyspeptic, with his coated tongue,
San Francisco and Honolulu through the
New Zealand subsidized steamship lines
was brought about regard-ess of any dis
position on the part of our Government
solely through the force of existing laws.
It has been held that. In the eye of the
law, trade between the Hawaiian Islands
and the United States Is coasting trade,
and this may not be enjoyed by any for

Objection to the PIntt Amendment.
NEW" YORK. March 25. A dispatch to
the Tribune from Havana says:
Congressman Brantley has had a con
ference with Senor Nunez. He learned
that the convention relations committee's
report will state that the Piatt amend
ment is vague and indefinite; that It does
not define the area of land wanted for
coaling stations or state where they are
to be located. The Intervention cause Is
likewise Indefinite, the committee will
further say. If the convention should
accept this clause the United Stites could
Intervene on any pretext, even If a stable
government existed. It was not satisfac
tory because the United States could
raise a point and the President could send
troops to Cuba without the action of Con
gress on the plea of enforcing an act of
Congress.
