AMERICANS UNABLETOL AND
Japan Holds Marcus Island, but Will
Have to Face Indemnity Suit.
HONOLULU, Sept 12,"vla San Francisco,
Sept. 18. The schooner Julia E. Whalen
has returned from Marcus Island, arriving
here September 10, without liaving accom
plished the purpose for which she set out
When she arrived at Marcus there was a
force of Japanese marines on shore, and
they were prepared to resist the landing
of the Americans. Under the circum
stances Captain Rosehill, of the Whalen,
decided not to attempt to land, his force
being much less than the force of the
Japanese, and tho Marcus Island Guano
Company will now make a claim against
the Japanese Government for Indemnity,
basing its claim on the alleged title of
Rosehill to the Island. Captain Rosehill
arrived at the Island on the day after the
Japanese warship Kasagi left The Kasagl
landed 16 armed marines and left them on
the Island to protect the interests of the
Japanese Government, being compelled to
return home for coal. Her commander
left with Lieutenant Akinote, in com
mand of the marines, a letter from K.
Ishll, secretary to the Imperial Minister of
Foreign Affairs, addressed to Captain
Rosehill and stating tho position of the
Japanese Government In the matter. The
latter, stated that the warship had been
compelled to leave on account of a lack
of coal, explained that Japan claimed tho
island by virtue of occupancy previous to
that of Rosehill, and expressed a hope that
he would avoid any conflict and leave the
controversy to be settled by the Ameri
can and Japanese Governments. The
guano company will make a claim on the
Japanese Government for possession of the
island, alleging that Captain RosehlU's oc
cupancy was prior to that of the Japanese,
and will also ask for Indemnity for tho
less of the trip of the schooner Whalen
to Marcus.

AMERICAN AID FOR BOERS
Agent Snys Roosevelt Promised to
Give Immigrants Fnrmu.
JOHANNESBURG, Transvaal, Sept. IS.
Mr. DIeprink,- who wao formerly a mem
ber of the Rand, and who was deported
because he refused to take the oath of
allegiance when General Lord Roberts
entered Johannesburg, has returned here
from the United States, where he de
clares he had an Important interview
with President Roosevelt Mr. DIeprlnk's
object was to see If it were feasible for
burghers to settle In America. He says
that throughout the interview President
Roosevelt was entirely in sympathv with
him and approved of his Idea, and that he
promised, if Mr. DIeprink could get a
sufficient number of burghers, to grant
them farms on the Indian reservations.
Mr. DIeprink Is now acting on these
assurances, but It is doubtful if he can
get burghers to go to the United States,
as the burghers are showing no great
desire to emigrate.
"WASHINGTON Sept. 18. China Is on
the verge of another Boxer uprising which
may equal that of 1900, according to mall
advices received at the State Department
from Minister Conger, dated last month.
The trouble appears to arise principally
from extortionate taxation, combined with
resentment against the presence of mis
sionaries, thus justifying the judgment
of the Department of State, which point
ed out to the powers that the demand for
excessive Indemnities would result in se
rious' Internal troubles" In China.
Mr. Conger's first advice- bears date of
August 6, from Pekln, and he reports se
rious antl-foreicm riots npnr Phpn HTiifn
In the province of Sze Chuan, in which a
number of native Christians were mas
sacred and chapels destroyed. Mr. Conger
appears to have acted with energy upon
teiegrapnic complaints from Dr. Canright,
an American medical missionary at Chen
Tufu, not only addressing the Chinese
Foreign Office by letter, but calling: there
In person to impress upon tho officials the
necessity of Immediate action, and finally
succeeded in causing the removal ol the
local Chinese officials who had failed to
repress the riots and preserve life and
property.
Mr. Conger Incloses within his report
the communications that passed between
himself, Dr. Canwrlght and he Foreign
Office. Under date of June 20, from Chen
Tufu Dr. Canwrlght telegraphed:
"Sze Chuan repeating troubles of 1900.
Chapel burned, 10 Christians killed. Box
ers have been multiplying for four
months; officials taxed."
Mr. Conger Immediately telegraphed
Dr. Canwrlght to demand adequate pro
tection for missionaries and the native
Christians from the local officials. He
also addressed a note to Prince Chlng at
the Foreign Office, stating that there were
several American missionaries and many
chapels and converts in Sze Chuan, and
that it was necessary that immediate
provision be taken to stamp out theso
troubles at their very Inception.
In his answer, Prince Ching inclosed a
copy of the following Imperial edict:
"Some time ago a number of local out
laws were banded together in the dis
trict of Tse Yang and made trouble;
whereupon I dispatched troops to dis
perse them. The leading criminal, Li
Kang Church, and others were arrested
and executed, but now the magistrate
of the place. Me Cheng Chi. reports that
nt Tch Chu Kimm, in his district, out
laws, a thousand strong, suddenly made
a night attack and destroyed a church
which the British -or American society
had built. The preacher. Chu Cheng Wei
and four church members were killed.
They also burned some houses and killed
three Christians. I sent troops tin all
hasto and deputed besides an official with
rank of Tao Tal to proceed with braves
to attend to this matter.
"Such fierce and lawless outbreaks
should certainly be quickly
Tney
once carry out the imperial will as in
duty bound, we have reverently copied tho
edict, and sent it for your excellency's
information.
"Dated 21st day of the fifth moon (June
2S, 1902.)"
Another dispatch from the Foreign Of
fice to Minister Conger, dated July 3,
states that the Viceroy reported that the
missionary killed was Chinese, and quite
a number of leading Boxers had been can-
t tured, and a sharp lookout was belnsr
kept for those still at large.
Mr. Conger again had occasion to ad
drees the Foreign Office on July 20, in
forming them that Dr. .Canwrlght had
fcgain reported that robberies and mas
sacres were occurring -daily; that all were
in great danger, and that he had demanded
protection in vain. The Minister urged
the Foreign Office to take more effective
measures "In order to avoid-the fearful
responsibility of a further loss of- life
and property."
The Foreign Office replied that several
edicts had been issued directing tho
Viceroy to suppress the troubles. It had
received a telegram from that official stat
ing that the rebel Hsiung Ching He, of
Jen Chou Hslan, made his appearance sud
denly at the head of a crowd and burned
a chapel and some SO odd houses early in
that moon, and nlso killed a Christian.
He also committed other outrages,
whereupon the Viceroy, dispatched troops
to the scene, who killed some 20 nnniP.
The leader of the riot was captured
and orders were given to have hlcn behead
ed and his, head exposed. The rebels at
other points were also attacked by the
government troops and routed. Three or
four hundred of them were killed. The
Judge of the province reported that there
was no need for the missionaries to seek
temporary refuge.

Fever Still Continues.
(
LONDON, Sept. 18. In a dlspitch from
Bucharest, Roumania. dated Sunday, Sep
tember 14, a correspondent of the Dally
Express says the emigration fever among
the Jews of Roumania still continues, and
that within the last three months 4000
Jews have left the country. Tonight, the
correspondent says, a party of 150 left
for Canada and the United States, and
small parties of Jews leave the larger
towns of the country almost dally. Al
though the reason given by the immi
grants for leaving Is their Inability to ob
tain work, the Jews steadily refuse to
take up farm labor. Proof of this Is
found In the fact that within the last
three years Roumanli has paid outside
Bulgarian labor something like $3,000,000
which might have gone to the Jews if
they would only; turn their bands to the
light labor of harvesting. Bulgarian la
borers, the correspondent concludes, are
well housed and excellently fed while
working on Roumanian farms.

nevertheless hopes that it will lead to

Britain Addresses Note to Germany.
BERLIN, Sept. IS. The German For
eign Office has received a note from the
British Government inviting some action
on the part of the signatories of the
treaty of Berlin of 1SS8 regarding Rou
mania's treatment of he Jews. The Brit
ish note is shorter than that of the United
States on the same subject, but it has
the same tone. It is assumed here that
Great Britain knew of the United States
note beforehand, and acted in support
thereto. The United States' action Is re
garded as being quite within Its rights
in seeking the assistance of the signa
tories in preventing an Influx of Indigent
immigrants, which is recognized as a
substantial grievance. These two notes
will result in an Interchange of views be
tween the powers as to what action Is
feasible. In the meantime, it Is expected
that Roumania will take cognizance of
the United States' protest, and defend
her case upon her own initiative before
the signatories. The foregoing represents
the views of the German Government,
but the press, knowing nothing of the
British note, seems to consider the Unit
ed States' action as simply chivalrous and
as not likely to result In practical measures.
AUSTRIAN VIEW OF MATTER.

LONDON, Sept. 19. In a dispatch from

Roumania, has been communicated to the
powers which arc parties to the treaty of
Berlin, and European governments like
Austria-Hungary, which has looked on and
done nothing, have been placed In a some

"I am afraid, however," cables the cor
respondent, "that the result of America's
action will be nil. "What King Charles of

"The JEtoumanlan Jews have been treated
as baneful and despicable aliens at every
iitep in their lives, although many did ser
vice for -Roumania on the field of battle.
They live on sufferance; they must con
tribute to the cost of government like the
Gentlley, yet they have not the rights even
of gypsies. They are prevented from giv
ing their children a proper education; they
must screen themselves behind a Rouman
ian citizen If they wish to exercise any
but the lowest calling, and there Is no 02
curlty for. them. It Is this want of secur
ity anctf2lr play on the part of the great
mass of the Roumanian people which
drives the Jews out of Roumania. In a
constant stream they pass through Vienna
en route to the west: that is. England,
the United States, Canad3, etc.!
In an editorial article the Standard says
Secretary of State Hay's note Is likely to
cause the powers some embarrassment.
Referring to the dispatch of its Vienna
correspondent, that journal says this mes
sage quite confirms Secretary Hay, and
that "President Roosevelt has the double
right to speak In the name of humanity."
"We need not inquire too closely," con
tinues the Standard, "whether the United
States has really suffered to an apprecia
ble extent by the Immigration of the Jews
from the Danube. If the entire Jewish
population of 20,000 persons" crossed the At
lantic, they would speedily be lost In the
vast population of the United States. How
ever, the course taken by King Charles
government hag the approval of nobody
except raDia anu-semiucs. odvious as
this kv we doubt, however, whether
Secretary Hay's note can produce any ef
fect. European powers have already
spoken and have been disregarded. The
use of force alone could compel Roumania
to grant equality to the Jews, and we see
no prospect that force could be applied.
The remedy would be worse than the evil.
No single power would be allowed to un
dertake the task, and common action
seems beyond the bounds of possibility."
