WAR CLOUDS HOVER |
OVER THE ORIENT j
Situation Now Appears to
Be at Critical Stage.
WARSHIPS HURRIED TO COREA.
Russians and Japanese riobilizing
Fleets at Same Point—Troops
Still Face Each Other.
A dispatch to The China Gazette |
from Tokio, March 20th, says that all j
the Russian warships in Japanese 1
waters have sailed for Corea, and that ;
the Japanese squadron is mobilizing
for an immediate departure to the
Corean coast.
General Campbell, the English com-
B.&nder, and General Wogacb, com
manding the Russians, met Count von
Waldersee upon his arrival at Tieu
Tsiu Wednesday. Learning that both
had received instructions from their
governments, Count von Waldevf-ee
said it was useless for him to give
even an opinion regarding the matters
at issue.
It is the general feeling iu Tien Tsiu
that the trouble is not likely to reach
a point where blood w ill be shed. Both
detachments on guard have orders to
do nothing aggresssive until forced
to do so by the other.
Except the army and camp follow
ers, the only Russians now residing
in Tien Tsin are the members of the
consular staff, two clerks and two
Jews, who are running stores and who
left Russia in order to save their lives.
These are now being offered induce
ments to move to the Russian conces
sion.
The French concession is quiet.
French gendarmes are on duty at the
British concession to prevent the
soldiers from trespassing, and Aus
tralian naval brigade men are prevent
ing the Sikhs from invading the
French concession.
Ninety British marines arrived
Tuesday night from the Taku forts to
replace the Indian guards on the dis
puted land. The Fusilliers are also
expected.
A special train bearing re-enforce
mente of Australian troops left Pekin
for Tien Tsin at 10 o’clock Wednes
day morning. The sending of the re
enforcements is explained as due to a
fear lest any incident arising out of
the Russo-Britieh land question should
cause the French troops, whose con
duct has given much trouble, to pre
cipitate a collision. The British com
mander desires to have enough troops
in Tien Tsiu to preserve order in the
streets.
A Washington special says: The
whole Chinese situation bocomes more
and more complicated. While gov
ernment officials refuse to discuss
publicly the dispute between England
and Russia, they feel anxiouß over the
crisis.
The failure at. last reports of Yen
Waldersee to adjust amicably the dif
ferences between England and Russia
and the emphatic declaration of the
Russian general that the British must
withdraw or fight, offer little encour
agement toward a friendly settlement.
In the meantime other complications
are arising that involve the interests
of the United States.
It is felt that the matter of indem
nity will have to be referred to an in
ternational board of arbitration. The
claims of the United States for loss of
life and psoperty in China amount to
$25,000,000, while Germany has filed
a claim of $80,000,000. This amount
is still increasing. There is such a
manifest inequality and unjustness be
tween the two claims that the foreign
ministers will be unable to make a sat
isfactory settlement.
STRIKE IN OHIO IMfIINENT.
Miners and Operators Hold Confer

Operators and miners of tho Fifth
Ohio suu-district met in conference in

cepted. Considerable bitterness exists
at Yorkville, three hundred miners are
out and they submitted their demands
to the conference.

Russia May Then Consider Proposal* -
For Amicable Settlement.
A dispatch to The New York Herald
from Tien Tsin says:
Count von Waldersee, had long and
separate conversations with the Rus
sian and English commanding gener
als Wednesday. He orally renewed
the propositions which had been made
by telegraph, and which the Russians
had declined to entertain.
General Wogack declined to discuss
the question of ownership until the
British had withdrawn from the ground
claimed by Russia and occupied by his
forces.

Citizens Y'ote Favorably For $200,000
Bond Issue By Narrow Margin.
A dispatch from Atlanta, Ga., says;
By the narrow majority of 38 votes, in

bonds were carried in Wednesday’s

Oat of a total of 3,709 registered
voters, 2f,594 ballots were cast. Of
this number 2,511 voters expressed
themselveo as in favor of the bonds
and 83 against.
This gratifying result, attained after
numerous long delays and accomplish

will relieve a situation which has been

BOTHA REFUSES
KITCHENER’S TERMS
Boer General Turns Down
A!i Peace Overtures.
WILL FIGHT TO LAST DITCH
Armistice In South Africa Comes
to Naught—Parliament Is
Apprised of Result.
A London special says: Joseph
Chamberlain, the colonial secretary,
informed the house of commons Tues
day that General Botha has rejected
the peace terms offered to him.
Geueral Botha, Mr. Chamberlain
said, bad conveyed the information iu
a letter to General Kitchener, iu which
he announced that he was not dispos
ed to recommend the terms of peace
General Kitchener was instrxtcted to
offer him to the earnest consideration
of his government. General Botha
added that his government and his
chief officers entirely agreed with this
view.
Mr. Chamberlain said: “I propose
to lay the papers connected with the
negotiations on the table tonight,”
During the discussion of the compo
sition of the Transvaal concessions
commission, Arthur Basil Markham,
liberal, asserted that the commission
was made up of persons affiliated with
several great South African companies.
Mr. Chamberlain replied that while
he was not to be influenced by South
African capitalists, he was not to be
precluded from using any man who
happened to be connected with some
capitalist in South Africa.
The issuance of parliamentary pa
pers on the negotiations between Lord
Kitchener and General Botha is de
layed. General Botha’s refusal to ac
cept the pence terms offered him is
commented upon with an evident sense
of relief. The idea that Lord Kitch
ener initiated the negotiations instead
of Genera) Botha, as had been sup
posed, is unpalatable to the British
press.
The Daily Mail under the editorial
caption. *‘Onr Rejected Suit,” asks
why the government instructed Lord
Kitchener to sue for peace after the
murder of the peace envoys and con
cludes as follows:
“Let the w r ar be pressed to tho ut
most, and let further reinforcements
be prepared, for they may be needed,
but above all, let us have no more
‘negotiations,’ ”
MUTINOUS CONVICTS
Hold Guards as Hostage In Depths
of Coal Mine, But Are Finally
Forced to Surrender.
In the Kansas state penitentiary coal
mine at Lansing, 284 prisoners who
went down into the mine on Monday
morning mutined and for many hours
I held fifteen guards as hostages.
They gave an ultimatum to the effect
| that they would refuse to let the
j guards return to the surface until
j Warden Tomlinson promise to give
I them better food and threatened to
kill the guards if their demands were
not complied with.
The mines are run by the worst class
of prisoners in the penitentiary and
among those who mutined were twenty
life prisoners.
Warden Tomlinson refused to grant
the request of the convicts.
The insurrection was brought to a
close at 11:30 o’clock Tuesday night,
and the mutinous convicts were placed
! in their cells as fast as they could be
! brought to the surface.
Shortly after nightfall the warden
and every available officer gathered
around the mouth of the mine, each
man heavily armed.
Hunger had begun to tell upon the
mutinous convicts, and they began to
parley with the warden. They sent
him word that if he would promise not
to inflict puuishment for theq action
they would surrender and come up.
To this the w arden would not consent,
sending dowm word that the surrender
must be unconditional, the question
of punishment to be considered later.
As the night wore on the warden
held a consultation with his officers,
and it was decided to attempt a rescue
of the guards and also to overawe the
convicts and force their surrender.
Selecting his men, the warden, with
seven or eight guards heavily armed, j
entered the hoist and were soon speed
ing downward. When near the bottom
of the pit a heavy fusiiade wasopaned,
the shots being fired toward the top
of the shaft.
This took the convicts by surprise, !
and, thinking that the shots were
intended for them, they hastily fled,
leaving the guards, who were soon
joined by their comrades, after which j
they were sent to the top.
The guards then started after the
convicts and soon Iwd the ringleaders
under arrest, when the others gave in
and surrendered. The work of taking
them to the surface then began.
CLOSING DOWN MILLS.

Cotton (Manufacturers at Fall River
Begin Curtailing Output.
At Fall River, Mass., Monday the
Chase-Robeson American Linen and |
Metacot cotton mills, operating 350,-
000 spindles, were stopped in pursu
ance of the agreement to curtail pro
duction. It is probable that next
week the majority of the mills in the
city, including the Laurel Lake mills,
which at first had decided to close
Monday, will be shut down.
ILLITERATES BARRED
Maryland Legislature Passes Bill
Which Disfranchises flany
Thousands of Voters.
A special from Annapolis, Md.,srys:
The now election bill, having for its
object the practical disfranchisement
of most of the 50,000 illiterate voters
of the state, passed the senate shortly
after midday Wednesday. It was im
mediately sent to the house, where ull
the amendment., made by the senate
were concurred in, and the bill passed.
It is now ready for the governor’s sig
nature.
The flnal passage of the l)i!l was
marked by the utter absence of any
thing of a sensational character.
Iu the senate but one protest was
eutered, which came iu the form of a
speech from Senator Dodson, Repub
lican, who characterized the entire
proceedings as a blot upon the fair
name and honor of the state. The
final vote was 11 to 14, a strict party
division.
In a quarter of an hour after passing
the senate the bill was before the
house, where its consideration was
immediately begun. One by one the
senate’s amendments were taken np
and concurred iu without division.
Then it was put upon its final passage
with no attempt at delay upon the
part of the minority, except a motion
to allow them one hour to consider the
amendments. This was promptly voted
down and the bill was passed by a vote
of 53 to 28, the Democrats having six
votes more than the majority required
by the constitution. Five Democrats
voted with the Republicans.
The most important change in ex
isting methods accomplished by the
enactment of the new law lies in de
priving illiterate voters of the assist
ance of ballot clerks iu preparing their
ballots. Under the previous practice
these clerks accompanied such voters
into the booths and marked their bal
lots for them, or showed them how to
do it.
The Democrats claim that this prac
tice utterly destroyed the secrecy of
tho ballot, and made it possible for
corruptionists to learn through signals
from the ballot clerks whether bar
gains made with corrupt voters bad
been carried out. The arrangement
of the names on the ballots has been
altered so that the candidates for each
office are grouped instead of being ar
ranged in groups according to the
party they represent. Party emblems
are abolished and other changes made
which make the new law very nearly
similar to that in existence in Massa
chusetts.
The effect of the law is, of course,
largely a matter of conjecture, and one
upon which the party leaders widely
differ. The Democrats expect that it
will disfranchise about 32,000 negroes
and perhaps 16,000 white voters who
cannot read nor write. Of these, it is
claimed, all the negroes and abont 50
per cent of the whites vote the Repub
lican ticket. With these out of the
way, it is calculated that the state will
be safely Democratic for many years
to come, and the immediate result w ill
bo the election of a Democratic state
legislature next fall and of a Derno
craic United States senator to succeed
Senator Wellington in 1902.
NEGROES WANT PLACES.
They Importune President For Com
missions In Regular Army.
A Washington dispatch says: The
president and the war department are
greatly embarrassed at the pressure
that is being brought to bear upon
them for the appointment of young
colored men who have served in the
volunteer army to be lientenauts in
the regular army. Not only have sev
eral northern congressmen and a sen
ator asked for such appointments, but
colored bishops and clergymen have
appealed to the president in this re
gard.
Experience has shown that no mat
ter what the theories of equality may
be, colored men us commissioned of
ficers are not satisfactory. There are
only four colored regiments in the
regular army and their color causes
friction. Every white officer would
resent the appointment of colored men
to commissioned rank, no matter how
well educated or capable they might
be.
