Eeuus, July 1.—Nothing is known in
Gsrimtu oilieial circles regarding the
news from Shanghai to the effect that
Kai Fong Fu, m the province of Ho
Nan, is to become the Chinese capital.
The latest reports received here from
Peking reiterate the statement that it is

The German government has not been
advised touching the plans of Prince

to Benin to apologize for Baron Vou

Iu relation to the present status of the
Peking diplomatic negotiations, the rep
resentative of the Associated Press
learns upon reliable authority that the
question of guarantees of the “bonds se
curing the indemnities is still unsolved,
a difference of opinion between Great
Britain and Russia still existing.
A tin tide of i lie Powers
Russia’s proposition is to raise sea
tolis from 5 io 10 per cent, but only if
the junk and salt taxes with 5 per cent
of sea tolis shall not yield sufficient re
sults.
Great Britain's objections to the Rus
sian preposition are believed to be dic
tated less by practical reasons, since the
above would most probably suffice, than
the popular sentiment in Great Britain
and by parliament. The Berlin au
thorities believed also, like the other
powers, that Russia’s proposition Hence is Ger- not
likely to g.o into effect. final
many confidently expects a agree
ment upon the above question. modi
The matter of the renewal and
fication of commercial treaties with
China is for the meanwhile being taken
up jointly by the Peking diplomatists,
bince this, like the indemnities matter,
is expected to be settled in unison, at
least m its general features.
Germany, with the other China sea
trading powers, advocates the principle
of the “open door,” the opening of addi
tioual harbors and the greatest possible
commercial liberty. believe

ICE FAMINE IS IMMINENT.
The Shortage lit Ken lucky Becoming
Quite Serious.
Louisville, July 2 —The ice shortage
in Louisville and scores of small Ken
tucky towns is getting to be very seri
ous. The decision of local dealers yes
terday to fill no more out-of-town orders
at present, iu order to protect patrons at
home, was followed today by the an
nouncement of two large dealers that
their supply was exhausted. They de
livered during the morning what was
left over from last night, but at 10
o’clock tliis was goue.
Six carloads had been ordered from
Chicago aud Indianapolis, and the two
dealers hoped to make their supply last
till the cars arrived. The demand was
too great, however.
There is as yet no great suffering in
Louisville, owing to the famine, but
dozens of towns out in the state are en
tirely without ice, aud there is little
hope for any relief, though orders have
been placed in the north for immediate
delivery. machinery broke
The lactories wiio^e

still crippled, while those still in good
working order are powerless to do any

of northern and local capital amount
ing to <1,000,000 or more, and which
will mean more industrially than any
single plant in this section of the state.
Its effect will be far-reaching, and it
will practically revolutionize manufac

The new plant provides for the har
nessing of the Chattahoochee river at a
point about 4 miles from Bolton by
means of a dam with a 40-foot fall and
the erection of a splendid plant which
will supply the manufacturers of At
lanta with a maximum capacity of 20,.
000 horsepower in electricity.
While the hulk of the money invested
in the new enterprise will come from
the north, several well known Atlanta
men are interested in the venture. Al
though all plans are now complete, none
of the interested parries care to have
their names mentioned in the matter.
Work ou tite plant will be begun at a
