înt OIK PUZZLE Limitations of the Manchurian Treaty Cause of Objection. RUSSIA PLACED IN ABSOLUTE CONTROL Foreign Envoys Again Consider the Ques tion of Indemnity— Earl Li Hung Chang Has Recovered His Health. Pekin, March 16.—China has strenu ously objected to the limitations of the Manchurian convention respect ing the importation of arms, the re organization of the army and the practical control by Russia over Chi nese officials. At today’s meeting of the foreign ministers the question of Indemnities was further considered. Li Hung Chang is reported as again in good health. Field Marshal Count von Waldersee left here this morning for Tien Tsin. General Gaselee has left fov Wei Hai Wei, and will go thence to Shanghai. The Russian Agreement. Washington, March 16.—Our gov ernment has not yet been able to obtain anything like an official state ment of the contents of the alleged agreement between Russia and China respecting the protectorate over Man churia. The opposition to the Russian move has not crystallized up to this moment, but it is felt that there is every prospect of a consummation of the agreement, unless the other pow ers, which now hang undecided, speed ily come to a determination to op pose it. In view of this impending crisis, the officials here would regard as of secondary importance the ne gotiations at Pekin respecting the In demnities and punishments were It not for the beliet that there is great danger by undue insistence by the ministers at Pekin upon the collec tion cf impossible indemnities and the continuance of punitive measures. The United States government will be obliged in deference to public sen timent here to mantain an attitude of exast neutrality and withhold any assistance that might otherwise be reasonably requested, in the greater purpose of checking the consumma tion of an agreement which is almost certain to result in the partition of China. So, as already stated. Special Commissioner Rockhill is acting under the instructions of the depart ment, doing his best to keep the de mands of the ministers within the bounds of the ability of the Chinese government to meet, thereby follow ing the consistent policy of the de partment. laid down as far back as last summer. IN SOUTHERN LUZON. Provincial Government Established In Tayabas. LUCENA, Tayabas province, South ern Luzon. March 14.—The United States army transport, with the Amer ican Philippine commission and their party on board, arrived off Lucena last evening. This morning the com missioners’ party, consisting of 50 per sons. crossed the shallow bar in the ship’s boats and were driven one mile to this town. The commission then proceeded with the first organization of a provincial government in South ern Luzon. The Province of Tayabas has long been noted for the pacific conditions existing there, in contrast to the neighboring provinces, which still pur sue a rebellious course. Colonel Gard ner, late of the Thirtieth volunteer in fantry, was today appointed civil gov ernor of this province. Colonel Gard ner favors the maintenance of friend ly relations with the natives, and is opposed to pillage, seizures, destruc tion of property and imprisonments, except under necessity. Coionel Gardner, when in command of the Thirtieth infantry, was in control of this district ,and as a result of his policy, a population of active insur gents has been transformed into friendly natives, whose patriotisrii to the United States was considered to be more firmly established than that of the natives of any other province in Luzon. The first organization of the federal party outside of Manila was effected in Tayabas province, and all the na tives joined. The arrival of the com mission with Colonel Gardner, whose regiment was recently given a pub lie farewell here, returning as civil governor,, was enthusiastically cele brated. The people of Sorosgan, a seaport on the extreme southern end of Lu zon, have petitioned for a provincial government. The commission will stop there later. A REAR-END COLLISION. Freight and Stock Trains Crashed With Fatal Results. CHICAGO, March 14—Two men were killed and eight others injured in a rear-end collision early today be tween a time freight and a stock train, on the Chicago & Northwestern rail road, at Arlington Heights, a suburb of this city. The caboose of the stock train con tained 14 stockmen, and most of them were asleep when the train stopped at Arlington Heights to take on two cars of stock. Suddenly the time freight from St. Paul crashed into the stock train caboose and plowed through into the next car ahead. Instantly the wreck took fire. The crash aroused the village, and the volun teer Are department responded to the rescue and extinguished the flames and assisted in taking out the dead and injured. The caboose and three cars were burned, and a number of head of stock killed.

THE PROOFREADERS WERE SUFFOCATED The Upper Floors of the Advertiser Office Burned Out Most of the Employe Escaped to an Adjoining Roof BOSTON, March 18.—Taree lives sacrificed, nearly a dozen men more or less injured, and many thousands of dollars of damage were the results of a fire in the Daily Advertiser and Record’s seven-story, giay front build ing In Newspaper Row tonight. How the fire started is not known, but it was first seen In the pressroom. It spread to the elevator well, and darted to the top so rapidly that be fore the occupants of the two upper floors were aware that the building was on fire their rooms were filled with flames and smoke. In the editorial rooms on the sixth floor there were but five men. All had to run for their lives. On the upper floor, occupied by the compos ing room, were 18 composers and proofreaders, whose situation was most critical. Panic stricken, they rushed for the windows leading to the fire escapes, and all but three of them succeeded In gaining the roof of an adjoining building. Long lad ders were raised as quickly as the network of electric wires over the street would permit, but before a lad der could be placed in position the men had dropped through a skylight in the adjoining roof and reached places of safety. Except in the press room in the basement tnere was prac tically no fire in the building below the fifth story. No one was in the pressroom at the time the fire started except the fireman, who had not been seen up to a late hour. It took three hours of work to drown out the fire. The three victims were suffocated before they had time to reach the fire escapes. , Late tonight the loss was estimated at $150,000, with little insurance. DEWET IS INSANE. Statement Made by Prisoners Lately Released. BLOEMFONTEIN, March 18—Pris oners who have lately been released by General Dewet say they think he is a madman. They aver that the ter rible fatigues he has undergone, his anxiety and the intensity of his feel ings have unbalanced his mind. Apart from this view of Dewet's mental state, some of his peculiarities are that he rarely sleeps within the bounds of his camp. He seeks rest outside with a few trusted followers. Thus the or derlies of his subordinate commanders are frequently unable to find him to receive orders. His secrecy is ex treme. He absolutely imparts his plans to no one. Dewet repudiates the peace negotiations which are go ing on. He declares openly to the men that no terms except independence will satisfy him. A recent utterance attributed to him is that, after the British, he hated tne Transvaalers. The whereabouts of Dewet during the last two or three days is unknown, nor is it known whether President Steyn is with him. AFTER HIGH DAWSON OFFICIAL. Governor Will Charge Him With Crim- inel Libel. SEATTLE, Wash., March 18.—Gov ernor Ogilvie, at a meeting of the Yu kon council, March 5, announced that he had been informed that at a recent banquet an official in a high position had declared that the governor and D. Matheson, a contractor, had worked together in carrying out a gigantic swindle. The governor said that he would collect evidence and charge the official with criminal libel. Another charge was made at the same council meeting. The entire council was charged with blackmail by a Mrs. McConnell, who conducts a hotel at Dawson. She says that the council and Mr. Matheson connived to gether to ruin her business, out of a desire for personal gain. Gold Com missioner Senkier has filed a libel suit against Mrs. McConnell. The charges have stirred up a great excitement in the city. Decision on Eight-Hour Law. Tacoma, Wash., March 18.—In the superior court today Judge W. H. Snell decided the state law making eight hours a day's work for all men employed In public works applied only to men employed by the day. and not to men working by the month or year. WILL REMOVE OBSTACLES. Colombia Wants Us to Control ths Canal Route. WASHINGTON. March 15 —Senor I Martinez Silvela, minister of foreigu j affairs for the republic of Colombia, and at present accredited as Colom bian minister to Washington, had an other conference with Secretary Hay j tonight in connection with the in- : formal discussion concerning the Pan ama canal route lying within Colombia, it cannot be said that any formal ne gotiations are under way. or even are open, but the presence of Silvela here at this time gives assurance that if there is any disposition on the part of the American authorities to take up the canal question with the Colom bian government, the latter is now disposed to remove any obstacles on her part, in the way of adoption of that route, it is recognized that there are three parties to any negotiations which would be undertaken—namely, the United States government, the When unit How to Plant Apple».

IS GERMANY LIABLE7 She May Be Obliged to Pay for Dam ages In Samoa. NEW YORK, March 15.—Germany’s i responsibility for the troubles that oc- i curred iD Samoa three years ago. and resulted in the killing of American I and British officers and men and the I partition of the Samoan islands will be determined by King Oscar of Nor way and Sweden. According to a special to the Her ald from Washington, Great Britain and Germany have completed their briefs of the property claims filed by the subjects of each, which grew out of the military operations of the Eng lish and American forces. The state department at Washington has prac tically completed its brief. The docu ment will not be made public until submitted to the royal arbitrator, but it is understood that while it does not directly mention the part Germany played in the Samoan troubles, there are pointed references to the activity of certain foreign agents. These references are to be reinforced by an attorney, wno will be sent to Stock holm as the American representative. If the American contention should be established, Germany would have to pay damages to both Great Britain and the United States for losses sus tained in Samoa. During the Samoan troubles. Great Britain acted in concert with the United States and was disposed tc hold Germany responsible. Whether, after the change in the relations, she is willing to reassert the views then entertained, is a question that will bt determined only when her brief is submitted. THE THIRTIETH RETURNS.

The old theory of mulching in winter with snow and Ice to delay blooming In spring has been thoroughly exploded. says Farm and Field. Inside of lumber camps built in winter of certain kind« of logs sprouts of considerable length are stimulated into growth by the warmth of the camp Are. while the out er sides of the logs are still frozen. Florists force lilacs Into growth in win ter by drawing branches of dormant lilacs into forcing houses through the wall. All parts of the twigs that re ceive warmth begin growth, while the rest of the plant Is frozen. Twigs of early flowering plants like the peach may be forced into bloom In winter by cutting them and putting them in a vase of water In a warm, sunny room. These facts corroborated by other In vestigations indicate that the starting of dormant buds into growtli Is due to the warmth they receive and Is prac tically independent of root action. The twigs contain sufficient stored-up food material to promote considerable growth before the roots and developing leaves are called Into use. Poultry unit Potatoes. Last spring, as an experiment, 1 planted my poultry yard, containing one-fourth of an acre, to potatoes. 1 have just dug fifty bushels of tine pota toes from this quarter acre. 1 did noth ing but plant and dig tlie potatoes; the hens did the rest—kept off the bugs, kept tlie grouud free from weeds, fertil ized tlie crop and kept the ground In flue condition, so that I dldu't need to cultivate. The yield is double that on land adjoining, and the potatoes aro entirely free from scab. Seventy-tiro hens occupied the quarter acre. When the potatoes were planted, a few wholo potatoes were thrown into the yard for the fowls, so that they had no need to dig out the seed potntoes. 1 think 1<X> hens could care for an acre of potatoes to their mutual benefit.—F.
