THE FINAL NEGOTIATIONS.
Mlnlittrs st Pekin Will Clear the Way of
Minor Matter.
Washington, Jan. 10. So far as onr
tato department can influence the ue
gotfatious now about to begin at Pekin
it will seok to clear the way of all I
minor matters and of points upon i
which there is no disagreement what
ever among the allies, before underline
inc the solution of tho more difficult
problems involved in tho settlement of
the questions of indemnities, guaran
tcos and commercial treaties. It is ful
ly expected that the Chinese represen
tatives will offer opposition to almost
every point, in order to secure more
favorable terms, such as an undertak
ing to dismantle, instead of destroy,
tbe Chinese forts between Taku nnd
Pekin; some abatement of the restric
tions upon the importation of arms,
and a considerable limitation upon the
size of the legation guards to be main
tained in Pekin.
it is said at the state department
that Mr. fiockhill has signed an inten
tion to return to tho United States in
a short time. He has not retired, but
returns voluntarily.

China Wants Easier Terms.
London, Jan. 10. "Although tho

American papers accuse Mr. Conger of
severity toward tbe Chinese," says tho
rekin correspondent of the Morning
Post, "the Americans had regarded
him as inclined to leniency.
'The Chinese commissioners banded
to tbe foreign envoys with the signed

Kwang Hsu, asking a foreign occupa

Berlin, Jan. 19. An official of tbe
German foreign office informed a
correspondent ot tbe press today that
the first sitting of the peace conference
in Pekin would be appointed immed-
iat3ly after the different foreign envoys
had convinced themselves that their
copies of tbe jcint note had been prop
erly signed and sealed by tbe Chinese
plenipotentaries.
Washington, Jan. 31. Nothing has
been heard overnight from Minister
Lorn is regarding the situation in Ven
ezuela. Nnvy department officials
deny that any Instructions havo been
given to tho North Atlantic squadron
to move over from Florida to Venezue
la. The ships, however, are in perfect
cruising trim, and could sail within a
few hours after tho receipts of orders,
though it is not believed hero that
there will be any nec-Msity for their
movement toward Venezuola.
The orders to the Scorpion to pro-i
ceeu to uunnoco iroui Ua Uuayra have
been countermanded, and she will re
main at La Gnnyra, whore her pres
enco is regarded as' nocessary. By di
rection of the state department, Min
ister Loom is has protested to the Ven
ezuelan government -against tho exer
cise of censorship over any of his olll-
cial communications, and it is under
1 stood that the protests have been effec.
1 tiye.
It cannot be gathered that any very
late advices have caused the change tn
the department's plans relative to the
movements of tbe Scorpion In fact, it
is said that nothing lias been received
to show any marked change in tho
status in Venezuola since yesterday,
when Minister Loom is spoke of the
suppression of a rebellion among tho
troops in Caracas, the inception of
wbioh was unknown to the depart
ment of state. The fact that such a
movement could gain headway in Cas
tro's own capital, however, is very sig-
among the
troops may have led to the decision to
retain the Scorpion at La Guayra, tho
nearest port to Caracas,

A DESPERADO CAUGHT.

Marvin Kuhns,
Outlaw
the Indiana
Logansport, Ind., Jan. 19. Marivn
Kuhns, the desperado who has terror
ized Northern Indiana for weeks and
defied the officers of two states, was
captured last night at Greenhill and is
now in Logansport jail. Kuhns and
his brother, who was released from the
Columbus prison shortly after Marivn
escaped, were taken after a desperate
figbt. Before the outlaw was over
powered he shot two men and was him
self shot in tbe head, but not seriously.

II. V. Volt in the back and Lewis
Hawkins in the arm. Neither was
fatally injured.
Fire at Phoenix.
Phoenix, B. 0., Jan. 10. Fire to
night caused a loss of $30,000. It
btarted in McBeah & Co.'s dry goods
store, spread to the Imperial hotel and
thence to the buildings of the Phoenix
News Company. Giant powder was
used to blow up buildings in' tbe path
of tbe flames. MaBean & Co. lost on
tholr stook $12,000. The loss on the
building was $2,000; Imperial hotel
loss, $10,000; Phoenix News Com
pany, $2,000; T. A. Hicks, dry goods
store, $1,800. There was partial in
surance on some of the buildings and
stock.
during the day as to the feasibility of
ie-ecforcing the American naval force
now in Venezuela, but while somo such
thing is in prospect, it cannot bo
learned that any positive orders have
yet gone out. The Hartford is not
within reach of tho cable, beinir on n
cruise from Port of Spain for Uarba
does, at which place she is duo iu
about two days. She may be tinned
back from that port, unless tho situa
tion improves. Tho Lancester sailed
from Port of Spain for the Cape Verdo
islands, so she is entirely beyond roach.
Thero is no disposition on the part
of the authorities here to go to any un
usual length in dealing with this situ
ation, as they say frankly that it is not
a part of their purpose to browbeat or
coerce the Venezuelans by a formal
naval demonstration, unlesa such a
course is forced on them, which is "not
believed to be at all likely. But it is
quite certain that Amiral Farquhar
will shape the movements of the North
Atlantic squadron so as to keep in
close touch with the navy department
and he will not be far away from a
cable end for many days at a timo
after he leaves Florida.
Mr. Loo mis' protest against any cen
sorshlp of his official mail on tho part
of the Venezuelan government was not
idly lodged, and he acted by the de
partment's direction only upon u well
giounded suspicion that his cables wero
being tampered with or unreasonably
delayed.
