Majority Is Against Reducing
Irish Membership.
CALLED UPON TO RESIGN
Redatoitd Accuses Britl6h,iPrernler bf
Breaklng Pledge to .Resign, but
He. 3ayCall for .Another
i Votefpni Question.
LONDON, July 20. The government
was defeated in the House of Commons
today 1jy a majority o'f three on the
motion to reduce, the pembership from
Ireland.
Oh the announcement of the vote, a
scene of the greatest excitement was
produced by the Liberals and the Irish
members yelling "resign."
The incident Is considered of hardly
sufficient importance to Justify the gov
ernment in resigning, but, when asked by
Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman, the lead
cr of the opposition, what course he in
tended to pursue. Premier Balf6ur dc
cllned to make a statement.
John Redmond, leader of the Irish
party, said the Premier had repeatedly
declared that he would resign it de
feated and. If he disregarded this v.pte
of want of confidence, he would be act
ing against-all precedents. Was he go
ing to swallow this humiliation as he
hwallowed every other humiliation dur
ing the last few years? the Premier
was asked by Mr. Redmond.
Mr. Balfour replied very coolly, said
that Mr. Redmond had greatly agitated
himself over a matter which could be
settled in due time. He was, he said,
not conscious of any humiliation. There
"would be ample opportunity within a
few hours of proving whether the gov
ernment still enjoyed the confidence of
the majority of the House.
The Premier said he would consult
his colleagues as to whether the ques
tion would be again submitted to a
vote, and would make a statement Mon
day. After some wrangling over the
question whether to adjourn until Mon
day, it was decided to adjourn until
tomorrow.
The Associated Press understands that
Jt practically is certain that the govern
ment will neither resign nor dissolve
Parliament.
Sir Edward Gray's motion of censure on
the government regarding the fiscal ques
tion will be discussed Monday and the
ministerialists argue that its rejection
will prove that the government still pos
sesses the confidence of Parliament.
It is not unlikely, however, that Mr.
Long, the Chief Secretary for Ireland,
wfll resign.

WANTS" TERRITORY BACK
China Will Insist on Keeping 3Ian
churia In Empire.
WASHINGTON. July 20.-Chlna's official
.notification to the powers that she will
notf.reccgn'w5 any arrangement regard'
ing Manchuria concerning which she has
not been consulted beforehand, has
reached Washington, and will jbe forth
with forwarded to the President at Oyfctcr
Bay.'. Before addressing this .note to the
neutral powers. China sent It to St.
, Petersburg and Toklo. The Chinese-communication
is briefly worded and is so ex
pressed that it calls for no reply.
Thte arrival of the text of the note dis
poses of the unofficial report reaching
Washington recently from Europe, which
found credence in official circles, that
China had requested that she be allowed
to participate In the conference.
China has hot yet taken this step for
several reasons. The Chinese government
Is anxious that, bo far as possible, both
belligerents be allowed to negotiate di
rectly, and is adverse to .being forced
into the' negotiations.
China's motive in addressing to Russia
and Japan such a notification was to re
mind them that she had never acquiesced
in the alienation of the province of Man
churia -from Chinese sovereignty and she
expected, as the first result of the war.
the full restoration to Chinese control of
that province. That this position might
receive the continued support of the neu
tral powers, copies of the note were for
warded to "the other capitals for presenta
tion by the respective Chinese represent
atives. Before .sending this notification, the
Chinese government addressed to its vice
roys, Governors and diplomatic repre
sentatives abroad a long list of questions
about Manchuria, asking their opinions
regarding the steps the government should
take to Insure its restoration to China.
On one point these replies were singularly
in accord that this restoration should be
made unconditionally. It was also sug
gested that China Immediately declare
open to the world's trade several addi
tional ports in Manchuria for a limited
number of years, and. provided in the
meantime the Chinese legal code has been
revised and regular Chinese courts had
been firmly established, that the powers'
be asked to waive extra-territorial rights.
in Manchuria in favor of the Chinese gov
ernment. If this were done. It was recom
mended that the remainder of Manchuria
be declared open to foreign commerce.
This Is only one of many suggestions af
fecting trade in Manchuria now under
consideration in Pekln.
Advices reaching Washington indicate
that the Insistence upon the uncondition
al restoration of Manchuria without con
ditions finds favor from the Chinese
capital, and this opens up an important
subject In connection with the Wash
ington conference. Having been the chief
zone of operations. Manchuria will natur
ally figure prominently In the conference.
China's Insistence that she be consulted
about any arrangements concernlg Man
churia will. It is believed, necessitate an
Indirect participation In the negotiations
by China.
It Is learned on the highest authority
that the Chinese government la inclined
to trust Japan to execute her many
pledges regarding Manchuria, and unof
ficially has already given assurances to
the Japanese of her confidence in their
sincerity in this matter. On the other
hand, Russia, it is said, will come to the
conference ready to -forfeit her sphere of
Influence In Manchuria only on condition
that China give to Japan no privileges
that are not accprded to all the powers.
Therein lies China. best assurance that
little headway can be made regarding
Manchuria without communication with
Pekln.
There are. however, elements at Pekln
which are uneasy regarding the result
of the Washington conference, and th$
Pekln government has reiterated that Its
apparent Inactivity at the present mo
ment Is only tentative. Indications that
Russia and Japan were coming to an
agreement about Manchuria which did
not provide for an effective and real
Chinese administration of the province
would Immediately arouse the Chinese
government to action. Such action, it
can be stated, will probably take the form
of a direct appeal to the Washington
Government for assistance in defending
the Hay doctrine of "the preservation of
the territorial and administrative entity
of China," to which all the powers un
der the leadership of the late Secretary of
State were committed since the present
war began.
Thus far no instructions have reached
the Chinese legation, which, in the ab
sence of the Minister, is In charge of
Mr. Tung Kwal. regarding the sending of
a representative to Portsmouth. The
Minister is spending the Summer at Am
herst. Mass.. and expects to remain there
until September. Like the other diplo
mats in Washington, and in accordance
with the expressed wish of the President,
the Chinese Minister. Sir Chentung Li
ang Cheng. It Is said, will not go to Ports
mouth at all unless ordered there by his
government.
China's Insistence that Manchuria be
returned to her sovereignty has the full
sympathy of the Washington government,
though the latter does not share In any
anxiety on this point. In the preliminary
negotiations. It was more than once made
plain to the belligerents that whatever
the result of their negotiations it was ex
pected that China would be left intact

SHANGHAI. July 20. About 15)0

mass meeting yesterday, which ar
ranged to begin the boycott of .Amer

announced that the action taken- was
not against the American Government,
whose constant kindness was fully rec
ognized, but it was pointed out tnat
unless the Chinese showed themselves
to be in earnest they would have no

whether the boycott will reallj be
maintained.

SPffl FOR PEOPLE
Zemstvoists Begin Preparing
Constitution.
CZAR OPENLY DENOUNCED
One Delegate Says Hope of Reform
From Above Is Vain, and Fav
ors Appeal to Xatlon Pri-
rate' Rights Invaded.
MOSCOW. July 30. The Zemstvo Con
gress reassembled today without inter
ference on the part of the authorities,
and commenced -a discussion of the pro
posed constitution. The meeting was
again held at the residence of Prince
Dolgoroukoff.
The first resolution proposed protested
against the violation of private rights and
the general arbitrariness of the authori
ties. A delegate from Tver, Central
Russia, maintained that the resolution
was not- strong enough. It was referred
to a committee to be redrafted. Later
and amended resolution was presented
and passed. It likewise protests against
the constant violation of the private and
social rights of Russian citizens by ad
ministrative officials and calls upon all
local officials to protect the sufferers
from the present state 'of affairs and to
assist in preventing the troops from en
forcing illegal and arbitrary acts insti
gated by the authorities.
The scheme for a constitution as elab
orated by a committee of the congress
was next discussed and Its details criti
cized by the delegates. The chief points
raised were the omission of adequate pro
portionate representation and the non
recognition of female suffrage. By a vote
of 220 -to 7 the congress then passed the
first reading of the project as submitted
and copies of it will now be distributed
for examination and discussion.
The congress rejected a proposal that
after the re-examlnatlon of the project,
the Zemstvo form a general political or
ganization throughout the empire.
M. Petrunkevitch. president of the Mos
cow Agricultural Society, declared that all
hope regarding the government's scheme
which had hitherto been nourished had
proved vain. Everything was going on
in the same old way and It was difficult
to say whether the Zemstvoists really In
tended to work In. the national interest.
It was obvious, he said, that the bar sep
arating the Emperor and the people was
too. strong, and that they could not count
on reforms from above. They had ap
pealed to the Emperor and they should
now appeal to the people.
Prince Rostkovskl' said that the speech
of M. Petrunkevitch was a direct incite
ment to a revolution and left the hall.
Prince Dolgoroukoff repudiated Prince
Rostkovski'a construction of M. Petrunke
vltch's speech, which, he said, only
echoed what had been .set forth In the
memorandum presented by the marshal of
the nobility to the Emperor. .

ST. PETERSBURG. July 21.-330 A. M.)
The .government has made good Its
threat-and has suspended the Slovo for
a month for open defiance this morning of
the strict order prohibiting publication of
the proceedings of the Zemstvo Congress
at Moscow.
The government, taking the ground that
agitation pending the promulgation of tne
Emperor's reform project would be injuri
ous, some time ago Issued a general order
against the printing of reports of Illegal
meetings. and reiterated this order In the
case of the Zemstvo Congress at Moscow.
Two qther papers, the Vlcdomosti. of
Moscow, and the JCovostl. which have
been very venomous lately, have received
the first of three warnings leading to final
suspension. Street sales of the Novosti.
whose Immediate offense was an attempt
to organize concerted defense by all the
newspapers In the publication of the pro
ceedings of the Zemstvo Congress at Mos
cow. hae also been suspended Indefi

purchased by Mr. Ryan from Mr. Hyde
and transferred to G rover Cleveland. Jus
tice O'Brien and George Westinghouse as

PROSTRATED BY LOSS OP JOB
Jordan Serloasly 111 Old Directors
AVH1 Be Prosecuted.
NEW YORK. July 20. Thomas D.
Jordan, who has Just been removed
from the controllership of the Eqult
ableable Life Assurance Society, which
office he had filled for a decade, is
reported to bo seriously HI at his home
in Englewood. N. J. He went home late
yesterday lauffertng much from tha
heat, and in the evening a physician
was called. It was stated later that
Mr. Jordan was on the verge of ner
vous prostration.
It Is understood that the .first offi
cial action on the part of the stats
against former officials of the Equit
able Society will come up In the form
of suits to be filed this week by Attorney-General
Mayer. Actions of
various kinds are in the course of
preparation, and will be led by a suit
for an accounting directed against tha
old board or directors.
There will be 49 of these men cited
in the complaint as having been re
sponsible for the funds of the society,
and It is said they will be asked to
give an account of their official acts
on that score. Under the contemplated
procedure, the old directors can be
placed on the witness stand and ques
tioned about their transactions. Under
the laws of this state It Is possible to
bring these actions In the broadest
way Imaginable, so as to leave tha
field of Inquiry or the prosecuting of
ficials absolutely without restriction.
It Is not believed that the Attorney
General will experience difficulty in
getting service or In accomplishing
other formalities, for many of those
who are to be defendants already have
signified their willingness to meet him
half way.
LOAN PAID IN MYSTERIOUS WAY
Alexander and Jordan Make Good
$685,000 Due Trust Company.
NEW YORK. July 20. The World to
morrow will say that the loan of JSSJ.COG
to the Equitable Life Assurance Society
by the Mercantile Trust Company has
been paid. The World says:
"This payment was made last Friday
by ex-President Alexander and ex-Comu-troller
Jordan, or by persons unknown for
their account."
Mr. Jordan, when called over the tele
phone last night at his Summer home,
refused to say a word In regard to the
matter. James W. Alexander Is very III
at a retreat near Babylon. His attorneys,
when asked concerning' the payment, de
clined to make any statement.
State Banking Superintendent F. D.
Kllburn said to the World correspondent
at Albany last night:
"The loan was made by the Mercantile
Company to James W. Alexander, presi
dent of the Equitable and Thomas
Jordan, comptroller of the same com
pany." "Was th4re any security?"
"No. it was a note made by them as
trustees. I ordered it paid, and It was
taken up on July 14 by them or on their
account. I helieved that It was mixed
up with the affairs of the Equitable and
should not be carried."
"Do you know for what purpose the
loan was made or for what the money
was used?"
"I do not."
NEW YORK. July 20. There Is no rec
ord In any of the books of the Mercantile
Trust Company of the KS5.0CO loan to
which Henry C Deralng, president of
that company testified before Superin
tendent Hendricks as having been carried
by the company for five or six years In
the names of President James W. Alex
ander and Controller Thomas D. Jordan,
of the Equitable Life Assurance Society,
as trustees. This announcement was
made today by State Bank Examiner Jud
son. who has been making a regular semi
annual Inspection of the books of the
trust company.
Mr. Judson's formal statement was as
follows:
"I have now examined all of the as
sets of the Mercantile Trust Company
and not only find no trace of a large
mortgage for a loan of J6S5.000 to the
Equitable Life Assurance Society, or
to James W. Alexander and Thomas D.
Jordan as trustees, but I found no rec
ord of any such loan to any persons
connected with the" Equitable."
Mr. Judson In a further conversation
this afternoon explained that, although
he was absolutely certain the loan did
not at the present moment appear on
the books of the Mercantile Trust Com
pany, there was nothing In his 'exam
ination to show whether or not It ex
isted a few weeks ago and had since
been taken up. He Is quite, certain that
today the loan does not exist, but, un
less he receives special orders to pur
sue his examination to a point not In
the regular semi-annual examination
of trust companies, he cannot speak of
what business has been undertaken and
closed op by the company.
when being questioned by Mr. Hendricks
in me wuiac ml iuc inner i investigation
Into the affairs of the Equitable Society.
Mr. Hendricks asked Mr. Demlng:
"Does your company loaa H85.C0O on the
obligation of two men as trustees?"
He replied: "It has la this Instance;
yes, sir. I have always considered tha
Equitable Society respoasible for It."
Paul Morton, chairman of the board of
directors of the Equitable, said:
"I know nothing about the H6S.6G0 loan.
I have been unable to fiad any liability
of the Equitable Society to the Mercan
tile Trust Company. Mr. Demlag Is a res
ident of the trust company."

OFF TO m CANAL
Stevens and Shonts Start for
Panama Isthmus.
WHY EMPLOYES COMPLAIN
Shonts Says They Have No Amuse
ments and Are Homesick Will
Provide Diversion To Ex
periment AVIth-Labor.
NEW YORK. July 3. John F. Stevens,
the newly-appointed chief engineer of the
Panama Canal, sailed today for Panama
on the steamship Mexico. Chairman
Shonts of the Canal Commission accom
panied him. Mr. Stevens will assume
control of operations Immediately upon
arriving at the Isthmus.
Neither Mr. Shonts 'nor Mr. Stevens
has visited the Isthmus before and both
said they would prefer to wait until their
return before talking of conditions down
there. They told something of the plans,
however, and the work they propose to
do at once to assure success.
Mr. Shonts said he had heard many
complaints regarding conditions on the
Isthmus, but had paid no attention to
them.
"There are men down there who have
a Just complaint, and that is that they
have nothing to do but work. They
have no amusements and no friends. Men
3X0 miles from home under these condi
tions get homesick, of course. What they
want Is amusement, healthy games and
outdoor exercise. In order to remedy this,
we will establish a separate department
and we expect to establish clubhouses
across the isthmus.
"Mr. Stevens and I saw the. President
and we talked over the canal plans In a
general way. Of course, the kind of
canal to be dug Is yet to be decided upon.
I should say that it would take 10 or 12
years to construct a sealevel canal and
about five years to dig a lock canal."
Mr. Shonts said that arrangements have
been made to carry on the work without
any interruption whatever, should Mr.
Stevens resign as cnief engineer.
Mr. Stevens said that he was going to
the canal zone with an open mind and
would make the best of conditions as he
finds them. Speaking of the possibility
of Chinese labor being employed, he saldr
"1 have tried the Chinese In this coun
try and found them good. I will try
