Turns Affairs Over to a Hoard
of Administration.
Washington, April 26. The following
cablegram has been received at the
state department from Mr. Squier, the
United States charge at Pekin, dated today:
'The empress dowager has appointed
a board of national administration to
relieve her of her public functions. They
embrace three members of the cabinet
now with the empress at Sian Fu and
Prince Hing, Viceroy LI and Prince
Kung, who are now in Pekin."
This news is regarded as of import
ance, indicating as it does the relin
quishment by the empress dowager of
the arbitrary powers she heretofore has
exercised. It also is apparent that she
has placed herself in a position to avoid
direct responsibility to the foreigners for
whatever may happen in the future and
the board will have to bear the brunt of
any complaint.
It is felt that the appointment of this
board will make it much easier for the
foreign ministers to transact business
with the Chinese government. The three
members of the new cabinet now at
Sian Fu include the notorious Jung Lti,
who was one of the most active in the
outbreak against the foreigners . last
summer. One of the other members of
this council is 70 years of age and is
said to be greatly debilitated. The third
member has been lukewarm toward for
eign interests. The choice of these three
Is looked upon as likely to complicate
the good which Li Hung Chang and the
others may accomplish.

New Tork. April C6 The Tribune
says: Ir. Carlos .Martinez Silva. min
ister of foreign affair- of Colombia, has
received from Bogota an official ac
ceptance of the peace proposals made
by General Rafael T'ribe-Uribe, leader
of the Colombia insurgents. Heneral
t'ribe-Uribe has been in Washington

turned to New York and he is to send
one of his aides at once to Colombia
with a manifesto addressed to his fol
lowers, urging them to lay down their
arms and submit to the government.
Before sailing the general's representa
tive will receive a passport from the Co
lombian legation.
The only demands made by TTribe
TTribe were that the political prisoners
be set at liberty and the war tax abol
ished. The prisoners had been freed be
fore these terms were received in Bogo
ta and the people will be asked for no
more contributions to meet the ex
penses of the war.
The settlement of the revolution,
which has been going on for over a year
and a half, was negotiated by Dr. Silva
and Don Tomas Herran, who came her
on a mission connected with the dispo

REPLIES TO MARK TWAIN.
Rev. W. S. Ament Defends Action of
Missionaries in China.
San Francisco, April 26. Rev. W. S.
Ament of the American board of foreign
missions of the Congregational church,
whose collection of indemnity for dam
ages done by boxers in China has caused
considerable discussion, takes vigorous
exception to the criticisms made by
Mark Twain and others as to the alleged
misconduct of the missionaries. He
says:
"We found ourselves at the close of
the siege with 500 native Christians upon
our hands, no food, no clothing', no mon
ey and every Christian house burned.
"On the very day of the arrival of the
allied forces we were informed that we
must leave the British legation, as It
was to be used as headquarters for the
officers of the British army. I immedi
ately thought of a Mongol prince, Hsi
Ling, who was an ally of the boxers and
whose place was the headquarters of
boxers and blacklegs. We found the
prince's place entirely empty and the
next day we brought up our native
Christians and occupied the deserted
place. In that house and its neighbor
ing houses that we occupied, we put
more than 400 peoxle- We took only
abandoned property.
"The only food in the prince's place
was a bit of rice. We decided to sell the
clothing and corios found upon the
premises and realized $2,500 in gold.
They were bought by British and Amer
ican officers at a private sale of two
weeks duration.
"Native Christians brought us furs
and sables which they had purc hased at
a low price from wealthy Chinese, who
feared they might be looted by the mil
itary people and who were willing to
dispose of them for a little money. These
articles were sold at our place to Bi it
ish and other officers. I considered that
that was a fair, honest speculation,
which injured nobody and that benefit
ed many people.
"There may have been some looted
goods taken, but it was without my
knowledge. The Russians and Sikh sol
diers were selling off truck very cheap,
but my people did not do the looting."

QUALITY
In Canned Good:; is a leading'

on the lable to a great extent and
reliability is a faithful guide. In

more to us than cost. Giving bet

STOLE FAMILY JEWELS.
Thief in Guise of a Workman Secures
$6,000 Worth of Diamonds.
Utica. N. Y., April 26. Two men In
the guise of workmen got away with
diamond jewelry estimated to be worth
from SG.000 to $10,000 at the home of
Henry P. Grouse, in the fashionable
residence district. Mr. Grouse is a mem
ber of the wholesale clothing firm of
Grouse & Brandegee. No one but the
servants was at home, when a man
rang the bell and said that he had been
sent from the electric light company
to renedy a defect in the wiring. He
was admitted, after some hesitation on
the part of the servants. He was in the
house an hour, his partner in the mean
time being on the street in case the
family carriage was seen approaching.
The police are active, but have slight
clues with which to work.

BANKER GIVES BOND.
Louis Marcel, of Highland, Charged
With Using Mails Improperly.
Louis L. Marcel, assistant cashier of
the Bank of Highland, at Highland,
Kansas, gave bond in the federal court
Thursday for his appearance at Salina
at the May term for trial on a charge of
using the United States mail for fraud
ulent purposes. Marcel was arrested at
Highland and brought here by Deputy
United States Marshal E. A. Prescott.
On July 25. 18a, C. W. Jackson and his
mother Eiiza gave their note for JzOO
to PiUman Bros., of Atchison county, to
snuare up a deal on a threshing machine.
The note ran for six months and fell
due on January 25, 1900. Pittman Bros.
did not care to spend any time making
the collection, so they turned it over tr
their banker and he, in turn, turned it
ever to the National Bank of Commerce
of Kansas City, Mo., and that institu
tion sent it to the Bank cf Highland for
collection. On December 30. 1S39. almost
a rncnth before the note was due. the
Jacksons paid it. On January 2, follow
ing, four days after the note had been
paid. Assistant Cashier Louis L. Marcel,
it is charged, wrote to Pittman Bros,
that the note was practically worthless;
that the Jacksons had judgments hang
ing over them; but that the bank might
swing a deal with the other creditors
whereby $150 could be realized on the
note.
