THK MOKMXli ASTOKIAH, THURSDAY. rEtlKUAKY St. l ENVOYS CONCEDE POINT TO COURT Two Chinese Officials Will Be V Strangled, Not Beheaded. CONTROVERSY IS NOW OVER Flfct It Now Betweea Powers Over Quetiloi .of lodcmollv-MlolMer W Said to Be Secklnt a Leo la Nw York City. LONDON, Feb. 20. Dr. Morrison, wiring to the Times from IVkln, aays: "The court has yielded and consented to the Infliction of the punishment de manded, petitioning, however, that the sentences on Chao Shu Chlao and Ting Nlem Man le strangulation Instead of decapitation. To this the foreign en voys have agreed. The question, there fore. Is virtually settled. Commenting upon the latest advices from Pekin the Time says: "There cannot be any reasonable doubt that the sudden surrender of the Chinese court was due to fears Inspired bv Count Von Waldersee's order. GRAVITY OP SITUATION OVER. PEKIN, Feb. SO. (Noon) The for eign envoys this morning received an official communication from the Chinese plenipotentiaries offering to agree to ail the terms of Ihe powers. The Chi nese desired, however, to save the lives of Chao Shu Chlao and Ylng Nien, but they were informed that the mlnis ' ters Insisted upon the former demands. A complete surrender is expected to morrow. Meanwhile extensive preparations are being made for the expedition planned by Count Von Waldersee. The Germans haw purchased 1S00 camels for the purpose. A representative of the Associated Press was Informed by the foreign ministers today that they think the gravity of the situation over, but it Is expected that difficulties will now arise among themselves when some of the governments send their indemnity claims, and particularly Is there uneus In'sss regardlrg the attitude of Ger many that her claims must t paid In cash before the evacuation takes place. The other ministers resent this, say ing it will be impossible for China to pay, aa China has not a large reserve and the customs receipts go to pay dividends upon former loans and It is not probable that she could borrow a sum of great magnitude. United States Minister Conger estimates the total de mands upon China as MOO.000,000. WOULD FLOAT LOAN HERE. NEW YORK. Feb. 20. There has been some talk in Wall street of an at tempt of" the Chinese government t5 float a loan in this country of 1200,000. 000 to meet Ihe expenses of the Boxer uprising, to pa' indemr.ities.etc. It is said that Minister Wu has approached a number of bankers, and has suggested that It would be possible for the gov ernment to guarantee the loan by an Increase of the customs above the point upon which England has a lien. President Stillman, 0f the National City Bank, denied any knowledge of such negotiations. Another banker said: "When Chira Is pacified, commerce is resumed and capital assured of pro tection, it is not improbable that New York bankers might view such a loan favorably." FRENCH SUBJECT ARRESTED. General Agsnt of Tabac-aleris Company Accused of Aiding Insurgents. In the case of the state of Minnesota against , Frank II. Hamilton, charged with murdering Leonard R. Day, after 40 hours' deliberation furnished a genu ine surprise by coming Into court a few minutes before 10 o'clock this morn ing and reporting that It had agreed upon a verdict of manslaughter In the first degree, with a recommendation to the mercy of the court. The Jury had been out no long that hope of an agree ment had about been Rlvn up. The lury Informed the deputies at 9:15 that it had agreed, but It took half an hour to arrange the preliminaries. Hamilton was brought into ?i-.rl to hear Hie verdict. Ho had enjoyed a root night's sleep and seemed In ex cellent spirit:. When the verdict was roid Hamilton appeared dazed and made n other sign than to shake his head it; mute protest. He was remanded to jail to await sentence and absolutely refused to see anyone fxi-t his devoted friend, Miss Johnson, of Colorado Springs. His attorneys at once moved for a new trial, but no date was set for hear ing the arguments. When the prisoner reached the Jail he said to Jailer Alex ander, with a despairing gesture:' "They've found me guilty, capta'n, hut I do n t deserve it." The penalty forthe crime of which he is convicted is imprisonment from five to twenty ye.irs. MOUNTAIN WIVP SLID INTO SEA. Earthquake North of Vancouver Caus ed Much Damage. RUSSIA NOT SERIOUS. Editor Stead Thinks She Cannot Afford to Shut Out American Machinery. NEW YORK, Feb. 20.-W. T. Stead. In a special dispatch to the Journal and Advertiser, says: "Russia does not mean to quarrel with tlw United States, not even to the extent of a tariff war. The sud den and stmllng application of the maximum tariff to Imports from Amer ica, valued at ten million dollars a year, as a method of Indicating dis satisfaction with Gage's method of lev ying duty on a commodity of which America imports only $200,000 annually, can hardly be regarded as a serious policy.. ' Being a convinced free trader, be lieving Russia's development has been horribly retarded by the heavy protec tive duties which she Imposes on Im ports, I regard the Increase of Rulan duties on American Iron and steel goods with profound regret. It doea not mat ter much to the American manuficlur er If he Is temporarily shut out of the Russian market. It matters everythli g to the Russian consumer that the price of his machinery should be increased. The Russian peasant needs cheap agri cultural machinery. As Prof. Oxeroff crKl out not long ago, high duties on Iron and steel hit the agriculturist at every turn.
