IT IS CONDITIONALLY ACCEPTED Provides for Joint Commission of the Power to Secnro Peace Be tween Christians and Xon-Cou-verts Other Subjects. SHANGHAI, July 27. The draft of the commercial treaty between Great Britain and China has been conditionally accept ed by the Chinese Government, but clause 8, dealing with the abolition of the Hkln, still awaits the approval of tho British Government. This clause provides that In return for a surtax equivalent to IVi times the duty leviable under the protocol of 1901. China shall abolish all llkln duties, stations and barriers and ever' form of internal taxation on British goods, guar anteeing them against exactions and de lays.

As Many Favored the Government as "Were Asnlnst It. PARIS, July 27. The demonstration made today in connection with the decree of Premier Combes ordering the closing of the Congregatlonist schools proved to be quite as much of a "manifestation In bupport of the government as in oppo sition to its measures. The crowd which flocked in the Place de la Concorde num bered 15,000 persons, while as many more throngeu .the Champs Elysees. The clerical and antl-clerlcal forces about equally divided the gatherings. Tho for mer were distinguishable by the read, white and blue paper flowers which they wore, while the latter sported red gela tines. Though many fights occurred, they did not become general nor was an' person seriously injured. An imposing force of police and mounted municipal guards had much trouble in keeping the people con stantly moving, and at times they, were forced to charge to prevent the crowd be coming too dense. On the whole the crowds were good-natured and mainly con fined themselves to shouting "Liberty, liberty," "Long live tho Sisters," and "We want the Slstrrs." to which the anti Clericals replied: "Vive la republique." and "Down with the priests." The oc casional appearance of a priest was a signal for much hooting, and several fights were due to their presence. A striking feature of the manifestations was the large number of women, many of cm well dressed, who actually par ticipated. Nor were these all Clerical In their sympathies, fpV the anti-Clerical women were also out in strong force, and they occasionally made things lively for their Clerical sisters, which the police had some difficulty in preventing. In one Instance a detachment of mounted guards had to rescue three well-dressed ladles from the hands of a group of Socialist women who were bent on mobbing them. The Clericals made several attempts to reach the Place Beauveau, on which the Klysee Palace and the -Ministry of the In terior are situated, but were prevented from doing so by strong cordons of police and municipal guards, who were stationed at all the approaches in order to prevent demonstrations in front of these buildings. The demonstrations culminated when a group of SO ladles, son-e in carriages and some on foot, headed by Mesdames Rellle, De Mun, Clblel and Depommerol, attempt ed to reach the Ministry of the Interior in order to present to Premier Combes a petition on behalf of the Sisters. Tho police, however, refused to allow them to pass. Subsequently the Clericals made an angry rush on the cordon guarding Avenue Gabrlelle, and the soldiers had to use the butts of their guns to keep back the crowd. Another violent incident occurred on the Champs Elysees, where the crowd began throwing the small iron chairs on the sidewalks among the feet of the horses of the mounted guards. One horse fell, injuring his rider. A number of prominent Nationalists, including Deputies Mlllevoy and Auffray, and several municipal Coun cillors were conspicuous In the crowd, and wero much ovated by their followers and booted by the anti-Clericals. By 7 o'clock tonight the crowd began to thin out, and an hour later the Place de la Concorde and the Champs Elysees had resumoed their custmary appearance. A slight shower hastened the dispersal of the manlfestants. About 100 arrests were made. The fact that throughout tho day ve hicular traffic was not Interrupted shows how well the police handled the great un ruly crowd with which -they had to deal. GERMAN SINGING SOCIETIES. Same Sonars on the "Wabash as on the Rhine. VIENNA, July 27. The sixth triennial festival of German singing societies opened at Graz today. The attendance of members from societies throughout Austria and Germany exceeded 12,000. J. P. Frenzel, of Indianapolis, addressed the gathering, bringing greetings from Ger man societies in the United States. He said that though thousands of miles apart, the same songs were sung on the banks of the (Mississippi, the Missouri and the Ohio as on the banks of the Rhine. Mr. Franzel read verses written for the cccaslon by Professor Hogen, of St. Louis. The speech and verses were enthusiastical ly received. The festival will last a week, and the next meeting will be at Frankfort, in 1905. EFFORTS FOR PEACE. Colombia and Revolutionary Jnnta Dealing in Xevr York. WASHINGTON, July 27. It Is learned here that renewed efforts are making for an understanding between the Colombian Government and the revolutionary jijnta In New York that will result in a termina tion of the hostilities which have been In progress for such a long time In the re public Former attempts in this direc tion failed because the government re garded the demands of the junta, as pre posterous, and refused to accede to them. General "Vargas Santos, one of the lead ers of the revolution, is now In New YorJt. The scene of hostilities in Colom bia is said now to be confined to the Isthmus of Panama, where the govern ment has about 7000 trained soldiers, and the revolutionists about 4000 men. They are all veterans In service, and a battle between the two armies, It Is said, would be sure to result In severe loss of men. DEJW1TTE OX SUGAR DUTIES. Says Russia Is Justified in Meeting; America's Advance. ST. PETERSBURG. July 27. Tho differ ent organs of the Ministry of Finance pub lish an Identical article on the note of M. De Witte, the Minister of Finance, re garding the Brussels sugar convention. The article declares that the application of Increased duties to refined sugar ex ported from Russia must be regarded as an infringement of existing treaties, and that such infringement would serve as a precedent for a whole series of similar acts. Referring to Russia's answer to Ameri ca's arbitrary Increase of the sugar duty, the article contends that Russia Is Justi fied in taking similar action In analogous cases. Discussing the trust question gen erally, the article declares that the trusts have paralyzed all treaties and prevented trade developments on a sound1 basis. Revolutionists "Win a. Victory. PORT OF SPAIN. Trinidad. July 27. Tho. Venezuelan revolutionary General Luciano Mendoza, learning that President Castro was receiving reinforcements from Tru- jillo.

Miners Arc Said Still to Re Firm, but Common Laborers May Be ..Set torWorlc. WTLKESBARRE. Pa.. July 27. The be ginning of tho eleventh week of the an thracite miners' strike finds apparently no change In the situation, although tho rumor has been revived that an effort will be made some day this week upon tho part of one of the large companies to start one of their collieries. The companies have a sufficient num ber of coal and iron policemen enlisted now to prevent trouble, should It arise, and all that would be .necessary to get a mine In operation would be a sufficient number of miners and laborers to blast tho coal and load it on the cars. No doubt plenty of ordinary laborers could be secured, but It Is a question whether a sufficient number of miners could be' persuaded to go Into the workings. At strike headquarters the belief Is as strong as ever that the operations cannot re sume, and that It Is idle talk to even suggest such a things. President Mitchell says that tho situation is about the same and that the strikers are as firm as ever. A great deal of telegraphing passed to day between Wllkesbarro, Indianapolis and the headquarters of tho United Mine workers in West Virginia, the naturo of which Mr. Mitchell would not make pub lic Three hundred delegates, represent ing the 10,000 Polish and Lithuanian resi dents of the Wyoming Valley, met In convention here today, and after Indors ing the strike, appointed a committee of 10 to visit New York, Philadelphia, Pitts burg, Buffalo and other large cities, and solicit aid from the Polish and Lithuanian people for their countrymen now on strike in the anthracite region. President Mitchell has consented to serve on the board which will arbitrate tho differences between the Scranton Electric Railway Company and Its em ployes. XOW SEEKS HABEAS CORPUS. Alleged That Strikers "Were Convict ed on Insufficient Evidence. INDIANAPOLIS, July 27. At the Mine- workers' National headquarters it is an nounced that no time will be lost in push ing the habeas corpus proceedings for the releaso of members of the organization arrested under the edict of Judge Jackson, of the United States District Court at Tarkcrsburg, W. Va. Secretary Wilson today explained an other point in the miners' case on which they will base their claim to be set free. According to Mr. Wilson not one of the men arrested was proved to have made any speeches, Inflammatory or otherwise, after Judge Jackson's restraining order was Issued. "The injunction was Issued on June 19." said Mr. Wilson, "and the meeting com plained of -was held the next night. Mother Jones was the only speaker, and none of the men arrested said a word publicly to the miners. The only thing proved against them was that they .applauded the re marks of Mother Jones. They were ar rested the moment the meeting was over, so that they had no chance to speak if they wanted to do so. I do not see how man can be committed to jail for such a trivial offense as this, , and I believe the habeas corpus proceedings will set them tree." No charges will bo filed against Judge Jackbon. Mr. Wilson said, until the habeas corpus suits shall have been decided. Mangled Man on Railroad Trnclc. PLATTEVILLE, Colo., July 27. The badly mangled body of an unknown man was found on the Union Pacific track 24 miles south of here this afternoon.

The large Brown-hoist, used $o lift and carry heavy plates used in shipbuilding,' -lies on the deck of the Michigan Central car ferry transport at the Wyandotto shipyard, a total wrjeck, while the upper works of the car ferry are for the most part smashed to kindling wood. The Brown hoist Is an Im mense -piece of machinery which runs on a track 40 feet high and about 500 feet long. Just before the storm broke the hoist was safely anchored about 400 feet up the track with two chains. The Michigan Central car ferry transport lay at the dock di rectly In front of the Brown hoist track. When the storm broke the chains snapped. The Immense hoist ran to the end of the track and jumped 30 feet to the car ferry. The damage Is estimated at 130,000. Other towns within DO miles of Detroit report much- damage to property, but no lives lost. HEAVY STORM IX EUROPE. Dnmngc by Gale on Ocean, in Britain nnd on Continent. LONDON, July 27. The gale which pre vailed in England Saturday caused great destruction to crops throughout the United Kingdom. Incoming steamers report ter rific weather on the Atlantic The rough weather continued round the British coast Sunday evening, and has been general throughout Europe. A tornado occurred in the Liege district of Belgium Saturday. Navigation on the Liege and Marstricht Canal was stopped by fallen trees, and the greater portion of crops were destroyed or hopelessly dam aged. Enormous injury was done in tho town of Liege. Many persons were Injured In Aix-la-Chapello and Stolberg, Prussia, by fall ing tiles and chlmneya Ilrnxos River Falling Fast. DALLAS, Tex.. July 27. Flood conditions in Texas are Improving. At Waco the Brazos River began falling at 11 o'clock last night, nnd the observation tonight showed a decline of Ave feet. This was sufficient to bring the river back within its banks. If the river continues to fall as is expected, the repairs to railroads will be sufficiently progressed to allow trains to run on time tomorrow. Toby Johnson, a negro, was drowned in Waco Creek today. Meager reports from Big Springs, where the flood is most serious, say that the water is receding slowly, although heavy rain fell this morn ing. Tho weather is clearing In that sec tion, and tho outlook Is more, hopeful. Traffic is still at a standstill, however. EASE IN VICTORIA. (Continued from First Page.) onel L. L. Hawkins' mouth water at least, figuratively. Here are collected handsomely mounted specimens of all tho animals that walk upon this part of the earth, the 'fowls that fly over It, and the fishes that swim under it " Hardly a species Is unrepresented, arid the collec tion is withal so magnificent that it would be hard to duplicate, even with tho price of the House of Parliament itself. "We only lack a sea otter," said tho curator sadly, to an observer, "an they cost 500 which is more than we 'avo to spare Just now." The lack of the sea otter, how ever. Is not noticeable to the casual trav eler, and it is well worth the trip to -Victoria just to visit that museum and the others In tho building. A Loyal People. There can be no doubt of the loyalty of tho residents of Victoria. Pictures of the King and Queen are seen in every shop window by hundreds, coats of arms on enamel Jewelry are sold to tourists, and go like hot cakes, and reverence for royalty and the things that pertain to It Is shown by the legend In tho cover of a pamphlet advertising the city, which sets forth the fact that one of the party that camo over with H. R. H. tho Duke of York, last Spring, said that if he couldn't live in London, Victoria should be his abiding place. A young American who smokes went Into a cigar store hero the other day and Inquired if any American brands of cigars were on sale there. Tho man bo hind the counter ran his eye over the stock, plucked forth a box. and opening It on tho showcase with a flourish, said proudly: "Sir Henry Clay." "Oh, here," remonstrated tho Ameri can, "Clay was a countryman of mine; please don't insult him with that title." "I don't know who he Is, sir," was tho reply, "but they're a very good selling brand of cigars." The American Infection. But Victoria Is too near Seattle to es cape tho American germ, -which flies across the straits occasionally, and with commendable foresight has launched its work of infection on tho younger genera tion. Two children, playing in the park this morning, were hiding behind trees and doing queer things with a broomstick. They played quietly for a while, when one of them finally said: "I think it "has lahsted long enough asf it Is. Qucntln; H'lll bo Tracy for a time now." But when all Is said, the Victorians are a kindly, happy, contented people. They enjoy their beautiful surroundings, drive or ride horseback on their splendid roads, play golf, cricket, lacrosse, and take an Interest in prizefighting, as was proven by the crowd around the bulletin-board Friday night when the Jeffries-FItzslm-mons fight bulletins were posted. And although they glvo their money freely In change to the traveler, they take It back again, and against a man who will take Canadian money at 100 cents on tho dol lar the voice of calumny cannot fairly bo lifted. ' J. J. M. Cuban Crisis Is Over. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., July 27. General FUzhugh Lee said tonight: "I believe that the crisis In Cuban af fairs is now -over. The Cubans wero promised an independent government, and they got it. Now they will have to provo that they can glvo security to property and maintain order In the island. If they do not come up to the mark, the Island must either become a part of the United States or a dependency of this country." Man's Body in a "Well. MILES CITY. Mont, July 27. Coroner Bateman, of this place, today received a message stating that the body of an un known man had been found In a well at Rldgemont. The Coroner will leave for the scene tomorrow. The widest nosslble publicity should be I given to the fact that Summer diarrhoea In cnliarcn anu cnoiera. uuanium can a i ways be cured by the judicious use of Cham berlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. It never falls. When reduced with cold water and sweetened It Is pleas ant to take, which Is very important when a medicine must be given to small chil dren. For sale by all druggists. ANOTHER GREAT SYSTEM MORGAN SAID TO HAVE COMBINED SOUTHERN RAILROADS. Atlantic Const- Line to Absorb the Lonlsville A Nashville, Bringing; Harmony at Several Points. BALTIMORE, July 27. It Is Imposible to obtain an authoritative expression of opinion on the rumor that negotiations are pending looking to the absorption by the Atlantic Coast line of the Ldulsville & Nashville Railway which Is controlled by J. P. Morgan & Co. In Unanctal circles here the general Impression prevails that the report is well founded. "I think Mr. Morgan has already prac tically turned the road over to the Coast line," said a member of one of the lead ing banking Arms. "Tho two roads do not parallel anywhere and have a phys ical connection Tat Augusta, Ga., through the Georgia Railroad, which runs from Atlanta to Augusta and which Is leased Jointly by them. "Such a deal would eliminate that hos tility in Tennessee and Kentucky which has been aroused by the rumor that the Louisville & Nashville will be merged with the Southern Railway. These roads parallel and are competitors In both states, and, following the report. Gover nor McMlllln of Tennessee has threatened to call a special session of the Legislature to pass a law that would' prevent a merg er. It Is thought that when Mr. Morgan purchased the Louisville & Nashville he had In view Its transfer to the coast line. "Morgan & Co. manage the aoutnern Railway and havo been working in com plete harmony with the Coast line. The absorbtlon of the Louisville & Nashville would give the Coast line control of tho railroad situation In the South, east of the Mississippi River. The outstanding stock of the Louisville & Nashville nmounts to $60,000,000 and if the plan of Morgan & Co. to pay $130 a share for It shall be carried out, $90,000,000 will be required to complete the deal." In round numbers the combined mlleago of the Coast line system and tho Louis ville & Nashville Is 9400. ' DRUNKS CAUSE WRECK. Obstruct Trnclc to Stop Car, Other Crashes in Rear.

The obstruction, which con sjf ted- of several lengths of picket fencing and other material, had been placed on the track by Ave men under the influence of liquor, because as thoy said they had attempted to flag other in-bound cars without success and determined to make sure of tho next one. Whllo the crew was trying to clear the track In order to pro ceed, car 454, alsd in-bound, came along at a rapid speed, and crashed into the rear of the car ahead.
