THE MINNEAPOLIS «SINAL. PRICE TWO CENTS. LITTLE HOPE FOR PEACE Gloomy View of the Chinese Situation. EVACUATION BAD MOVE French Diplomat Says the Poerws Would Lose Strength. ADVANTAGE TO RUSSIA ALONE W'tuili inert on Fran the Result of the Anglo-German Alliance. Mmw York Sun Ssteelnl Smrvlem Paris. Jan. 30. — The situation in China is viewed unfavorably by the foreign of fice here. It is thought that the Ameri can proposal for evacuation is not calcu lated to improve matters. General evacu ation would deprive the powers of that moral strength essential for the support of their claims. One of the foreign officials said this morning: The aspect of the negotiations between the powers and the Chinese commissioners is less promisiug to-day than it has been for mouths. It is true that the understanding among the powers still exists, but there is nothing to prevent each power from making such indi vidual treaty with Cbtfia as it may deem ad vantageous to its private commercial inter ests. Evacuation on the part cf the United States government at present would be detrimental to American comtuercial interests. Kussia, on the other hand, can well afford to agree to evacuation. Such action in its case only means withdrawing its troops to its own ter ritory, which borders on China. Russia is thus iv an exceptional position to agree to China's demand for evacuation, thereby ob taining favorable concessions for itself in Manchuria and at the some time keeping its troops on call to safeguard its interests at the Chinese capita!. The United States is not so situated. It 3 withdrawal would be tantamount to abandon ment of its claims to paiticipate in the ulti mate settlement of Chinese affairs. OVTLOOK GLOOMY Washington Ki-ars the Anjflo-Ger maii Ml lance. lfvu> York Sun Special Servioe Washington, Jan. 30.—While extreme caution is observed by officials of the state department in discussing the bear ing of the close alliance between Ger many and England since the kaiser's meeting with Edward VII., there is no concealing the fear that Chinese affairs will, suffer a setback. Count Yon Waldersee's harsh treatment of natives aud Germany's unyielding atti tude toward the Chinese ministers are the cnief obstaclrs in the pending negotia tions for an agreement at Peking. That the new sovereign of Great Britain will give his forces and ready sympathy tc Emperor William in his thirst for ven geance Is not doubted here, although Eng land has acted so far in thorough accord •with the United States. Minister Conger has notified the state department that Count Yon Waldersee is still occupying the royal palace at Peking and that there is no prospect of the re turn of the imperial court to the capital until the foreign troops vacate the abode of the emperor and the dowager empress. It Is understood that representations will be made by this government through Minister Conger to induce WalderEee to seek other headquarters for the allied army. PLEADS FOR^HIS RACE Colored CongreHsman's Address in the House. Washington.Jan. 30.—Mr.White of North Carolina, the only colored member of the house, made a farewell plea in the house j yesterday as he said in concluding, "for the | life, liberty, the tuture happiness and manhood suffrage for one-eighth of the population of the United States." He said: With all the odds against us, we are for ging our way ahead, slowly, perhaps, but I surely. You may tie and then taunt us for a ' lack of bravery, but one day we will break the bonds. You may use our labor for two and a half centuries and then taunt us for ' our poverty, but we will not always remain ! poor. You may withhold even the knowledge : of how to read God's word, and learn the way I from earth to glory, and then taunt us upon I our ignorance, but there is always plenty of I room at the top, and we are climbing. After i enforced debauchery that the many kindred ' horrors incident to slavery, it comes with ill j grace from the perpetrators of these deeds to I hold up the shortcomings of some of our race to ridicule and scorn. TERM LONG ENOUGH Bryan Is Oposed to the Cleveland Proposition. &*u> Torh Sun Special Sevriat Lincoln, Jan. 30.—Mr. Bryan's Com moner, which has now attained the re spectable circulation of 50,000, has ap peared again. Perhaps the most inter esting editorial is on the Cleveland prop osition to increase the president's term to six years and limit him to one term. He cays: To lengthen the president's term is simply to enlarge the stake for which great interests play. The trusts could increase their cam paign fund 50 per cent if they could secure the control of an administration for six years instead of four. A four-year terra is long enough for a good president and too long for a bad one. LIVING ON THE PAST London Tinies Is Worried About the Trade Situation. Xeu- York Sun Speolal Servief London, Jan. 30.—The Times, in an editorial dealing with the constant excess,of the value of British imports over the exports,"especially in reference to the United States, says it con sideis the matter of the utmost moment, be cause it is a question whether the British are stlil saving and living within their income, or are beginning to live on the accumulated savings of former times. It quotes from a letter of a' financial correrspondent, J. W. Cross, from which it appears that if the data is accurate, Great Britain has just been pay ing her way for the last three years. TESLA'S NEW FIND Capacity of an Electrical Conductor Is Not Constant. 2feu> Torh San Special Serrlea New York, Jan. 30.—Nikola Tesla announces another discovery in^electricity. This time it is a new law, and by reason of it, }tr. Tesla asserts, a large part of technical literature will have to bo rewritten. Ever since anything has been known about electricity scientific men have taken for granted that the capacity of an electrical con ductor is constant. When Tesla was experi menting in Colorado, he found out that this capacity Is not constant, but variable. Then he determined to find out the law governing tins phenomenon. He did so. TOINE AS .

Jan. -30.Congressman Lentz of Ohio has reti -.*d, to Washington and suddenly interest has. become intense in the dollar dinner his democratic league is to give at Columbus Feb. 12, the an niversary of Lincoln's birth. Sixteen hundred ; guests are to sit at the table, and speeches will be made by Bryan, Towne, Pettlgrew, George Fred Williams, Senator-elect Carmack of Tennessee and Representative De Armond of Missouri. Neither Chairman Jones, nor James D. Richardson, the democratic floor leader, has thus far been invited. It is believed here that the banquet is intended for the sole purpose of solidifying the democratic, populist and silver repub lican forces of the entire west, with the view of controlling the national conven tion in 1904: While Towne and Pettigrew have been loud sbouters in the popocratic camp for i four years, they have never heretofore attended a function that was strictly un der the management of Bryan democrats. The inference, therefore, is that their speeches at Columbus will formally pro claim the demise of the western popoc racy and the transmigration of its soul to the democracy. This, then, will thoroughly westernize the democracy and strengthen the hold of the Bryanites on the party organization. The east will be left entirely out and even the south will not have so con spicuous a position in the reorganized democracy as it has maintained through the mutations of the party in recent years. In - addition to the foregoing specula tions which the Lentz banquet has given rise to, it is " whispered ' that ' Bryan and Towne are acting .in entire accord and that Bryan intends, in case he cannot secure the nomination for himself in 1904, to thVow his strength to Towne, or to some man -whom- he and Towne will se- j lect. .At any rate. It is assumed that i Towne is : now second only to Bryan in I point of leadership of the so-called "new democracy." " '■ ' ■ .'- Bryan is- also said, to have indorsed the Towne speech. in the senate last Monday, | with regard to which he was consulted in j advance of its delivery. , He will agree, if ■ necessary, to make the Philippines the \ chief and practically the only issue in i 1902, should events between now and then | render such a program advisable. And i if with : that issue the democrats can j ! sweep the fifty-eighth congress, the way i will be open for the Philippine issue in 1904, with the Bryan and : Towne forces controlling party action and dictating the nominations.,.. The foregoing story does not harmonize with the idea that Towne and Olney are to be pushed forward as- a compromise j democratic ticket in 1904; but it should I be remembered that the Olney-Towne theory is exploited by the eastern demo crats, most of whom are for the gold stan dard, and that the program outlined in this dispatch is the work of Bryan men acting alone. Apparently, the contest be tween these. two factions for the control of the party in the next campaign is al ready beginning. On good authority it is learned that I 1 strong pressure is being brought to bear : upon a number of democrats of national reputation, among them Bryan, Towne and Pettigrew, to be candidates for congress in their districts in 1902. The pressure comes from leading men in the democratic party in the west, who want the off year i campaign made with anti-imperialism and the trusts at Ihe fore and who think the candidacy of these men and of others who, like them, stand as leaders of democratic thought, wili strengthen and add dignity I to the democratic position Should the i democrats carry the Fifty-eighth congress \ these men would be able on the floor of | the house to shape and give direction to party policy and emphasize the dangers • which it is alleged republican tendencies j disclose. The subject is to be carefully consid ered at the dollar banquet at Columbus, Ohio, Feb. 12. Towne has not said he would accept another congressional nomination, but his design to return to Duluth and there en gage actively in law practice, will render him available should the plan be adopted. Senators are having a good deal of quiet fun among themselves over the appear ance of a well-known journal this month with portraits of the wives of fifty-four senators used as a border for a soap ad vertisement. The names of the ladies appear under their pictures, and also as indorsing the virtues of the soap. Mrs. Hanna's picture occupies the place of honor in the upper corner of the portrait gallery. Near her is Mrs. Thurston, while Mrs. Scott. Mrs. Fairbanks, Mrs. Martin, Mrs. Bate, Mrs. Hansbrough, Mrs.'Quarles, Mrs. C. K. Davis and more than two score of others are placed in what might be called a human fringe. "I asked my wife how in the world she happened to thus appear in a soap ad vertisement," said a northwestern senator, "and I had to lis ten to an outburst of indignation and anger. She said that a very nice young gentleman called upon her and said that he was getting up a handsome volume in wh;ch the pictures of senators' wives were to appear. He said that he had al ready secured fifty photographs, and so my wife gave him the last picture of her self which she possessed. She now be lieves that the nice young gentleman was the soan man in disgutse." An attempt was made to get a picture of Mrs. Knute Nelson and an agent of the soap house called to see the senator about it. . "We have no time for such foolishness," said Senator Nelson. "Mrs. Nelson is too busy with other and more important mat ters to concern herself about a soap ad vertisement." Mrs. Nelson was told that in case she would indorse the soap with a copy of her picture, she would be furnished several boxes of the commodity or presumably enough to last her for more than a year. Professor G. B. Frankforter, of the University of Minnesota, has been desig nated by the president as a member of a board known as the assay commission, which will meet at Philadelphia on Feb. 13.

Under the law a certain number of coins of each delivery is sent to the Philadelphia from each of the branch mints throughout the country.

They also make what is called a mass melt of various de liveries of each mint to determine the same points. The examination usually lasts about a week. The members of the commission draw no salaries, but are paid their actual traveling and hotel expenses while acting as members of the board. There are always plenty of applicants for positions on this commission, as membership on it carries a distinction which scientific men are proud' to have. Nothing is known at the papal legation in this city of the rumored elevation of Archbishop Ireland to a cardinalate. It is said that the papal delegate is rarely con sulted when such appointments are to be made, the pope usually taking the initia tive and acting upon his own responsi bility in creating cardinals. Such officers of the church as are consulted are those immediately around the pope at the Vat ican. The elevation of Archbishop Ire land would not surprise the leading church dignitaries in Washington, as he has been regarded as being in high favor with the Holy Father since his visit to Rome last summer. Tbe sudden determination of Senator Frye to push the subsidy bill to a vote re gardless of all appropriation bills and other necessary legislation, is believed by many to answer definitely in the affirmative the question, will there be an extra session of congress? The subsidy bill can be pushed daily to the exclusion of other business, and an extra session will have ample time to pass any appropriation bills that may fall by the wayside in consequence, for these bills are for the new fiscal year be ginning July I. Meanwhile the fact that an extra session is regarded by the presi dent as almost imperative will be le pended upon in some degree to modify the filibustering program of Pettigrew" and Butler. —W. W.

BUSY LOBBY AT OTTAWA Railroad to Connect Coal Fields With Great Northern. NEW TRANSCONTINENTAL LINE Rumor That Hiil Him Bought the Charter for a Britlnh Co lumbia I.lnc. Weir York Sun Spostal Servico Ottawa, Jan. 30.—The session of parlia ment, which will open in Ottawa Feb. 4. will witness the keenest fight among the big railroads of this continent ever waged in Canada. Ottawa has become the Mecca of lobbyists. Already emissaries of the Canadian Pacific road are scour ing the dominion to gain first hearing with the members and to pledge them against American invasion. The loyalty cry is worked to its limit, and organs of the Canadian Pacific are urging the in advisabiiity of allowing a foreign corpora tioc. to tap the rich coal area in the i Crows Nest pass region of British Colum- j bia. The occasion of the contest is the ap plication to parliament for a charter to build a railroad to the coal fields of the | Crows Nest pass region, to some point on the international boundary, where connec tion can be made with J. J. Hill's Great Northern road. Twice before similar ap plication has been made for a line to the Kettle river or boundary country, several hundred miles west of the Crows Nest coal fields, and though neither land nor money subsidies were asked, the applica tions have been defeated by the most un disguised lobbying. The lack of railway competition threat ens to cripple the most valuable coal area in Canada. The Crows Nest Coal company is reorganizing with largar capital, 20, --000 shares of which, it is said, will be given to Mr. Hill. What part the other Canadian roads will ] play in the fight has not yet been shown. If they hold together the different links would form a complete transcontinental system just as soon as the Mann and Mac kenzie company pushed its Saskatchewan I line across the Rockies by way of the { Yellowhead pass, north of the main Ca nadian Pacific railway. The Grand Trunk, Intercolonial and New York-Ottawa line give ample access to the Atlantic sea board, but it is not known whether the I different lines will hold together in the coming contest or stand aside and let the Canadian Pacific and Mr. Hill fight it out. It is rumored that Mr. Hill has bought one of the numerous blanket charters of British Columbia, the Vancouver & East ern, a projected road from the Pacific along the southern boundary of the province into j the mining region. If this is true, it is j a master stroke, for once in possession of this charter, it would be difficult for the i Canadian parliament to refuse him one north and south, when he already possesses one east and west.

Half a dozen couples had ar ranged for a joily time, to be followed by a supper in the houße of a friend. The young men, to protect themselves against the cold, took along a flask ol brandy, which they hid in the sleigh. On© of the girls discovered it and told her companions, who determined to give the boys a lesson in temperance, and they liberally dosed the liquor. The fun was at its height when first one and then another of the boys lost interest in the entertainment. The lads were taken seriously ill, and the host became badly frightened. The girls also became terror stricken and confessed. A physician was called and for the re mainder of the night the house was a hos pital, but the youths were declared out of danger finally and the host drove the girls home.

BRITISH TROOPS RISE IN MUTINY West India Soldiers on St. Helena Raid the Town With Guns and Razors Tied to Sticks. They Beat and Cut Men, Women and Chil dren and Threaten to Dynamite the Town. London, Jan. 30.—The West Indian troops stationed on the Island of St. Helena, where" General Cronje and a large number of Boers are held prisoners, mutinied Jan. 2, raided the town, terrorized the inhabitants, injured many of them, defied their officers and were subdued only when faced by the muzzles of rifles. The censor suppressed the news, but the Associated Press has received the story by mall. The trouble began with a row on tke night of Jan. 1 between blue Jackets and a party of the West Indians. The following night the West Indians broke out of bar racks and raided the town with clubs and razors tied to sticks. They ran amuck, cutting and beating women, children and men indiscriminately, and attacked the Sailors' Rest, tearing out the doors and windows. All the efforts of the officers to suppress the mutiny were futile. When ordered to the camp they refused to obey and threatened to dynamite the town. A strong naval force was landed, the available troops were collected and the streets were paraded and guarded all night. At daybreak the troops were drawn up with loaded rifles in front of the place where the West Indians were barricaded. The West Indians were ordered to surrender and they were notified that if they did not do so, they would be fired upon. The mutineers were finally cowed and taken to the camp, where they will remain under guard until a troopship arrives to remove them. BODYGDARD OF HUSBANDS Saloon Wreckers in Anthony- Are Protected.

Several of the women were accompanied by their hus bands, who took no part in the wrecking and acted only as a bodyguard. The first place was in the rear of a drug store, and the party entered through a back door. The place contained costly bar fixtures and quite a stock of liquors.

Then the crusaders held a prayermeet irg on the sidewalk and ''Nearer, My God, to Thee" was sung with great fervor. It is said that plenty of liquors had beea stored away in safe places, in anticipation of just such raids, that the "jointtets'* were chiefly concerned over the destruc tion of their fixtures, valued at several thousand dollars. . , Real Crusade Originator. Mrs. Sheriff of Danville, a village near by, was the leader in the raid. She came to Anthony last night, quietly organized the local temperance women and planned the crusada. Several members of the band were mere school girls, but they took a leading part in the work. Mrs. Sheriff had previously destroyed the fixtures of a sa loon ata Danville and she is credited local ly, with having given Mrs. Nation her first idea for a wrecking crusade against the saloons.
