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 $80,000,000. This amount is still increasing. There is such a manifest inequality and unjustness be tween the two claims that the foreign ministers will be unable to make a sat isfactory settlement. STRIKE IN OHIO IMfIINENT. Miners and Operators Hold Confer ence to Discuss Wage Scale. Operators and miners of tho Fifth Ohio suu-district met in conference in i Bridgeport Wednesday to discuss the ! scale proposition. There is every in j dication that a strike will be declared if the demands of the miners on ma | chine scale and differential is not ac cepted. Considerable bitterness exists at Yorkville, three hundred miners are out and they submitted their demands to the conference. REDCOATS must vacate. Russia May Then Consider Proposal* - For Amicable Settlement. A dispatch to The New York Herald from Tien Tsin says: Count von Waldersee, had long and separate conversations with the Rus sian and English commanding gener als Wednesday. He orally renewed the propositions which had been made by telegraph, and which the Russians had declined to entertain. General Wogack declined to discuss the question of ownership until the British had withdrawn from the ground claimed by Russia and occupied by his forces. — STATUS OF BOER REPUBLICS In Relation to the United States Wiii Soon Be Made Known. A Washington special says: The status of the Transvaal and Orange Free State in the eye of the govern ment of the United States probably will be for the first time fixed when a couenl general is sent out to Pretoria. It is said that so far there has been absolntely no official declaration on that point. Look at your tongue. Is it coated ? Then you have a bad taste in your mouth every morning. Your appetite is poor, r.nd food dis tresses you. You have frequent headaches and are often dizzy. Your stomach is weak and your bowels are always constipated. There’s an old and re liable cure: pH$ Don’t take a cathartic dose and then stop. Bet ter take a laxative dose each night, just enough to cause one good free move ment the day following. You feel better the very next day. Your appetite returns, your dyspepsia is cured, your headaches pass away, your tongue clears up, your liver acts well, and your bowels no longer give you trouble.

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. Trial of Callahan Postponed.
