TilK BUXDESRATIf CASE.
ukltLlN. January :;.— lt is semi-ofn
clally announced that (Jerinany has not
protested HKalrist' 1 the seizure of th<; Bun
desrath. but has merely ..requested- that
the matter be, Investigated and settled as
speedily as pop.sible. Friendly negotia
tions in this direction are now proceeding.
liL'rc.
The Gei man Foreign Office informed the
correspondent; of the Associated Press
this afternoort ihat Great Britain had not
yet answered Germany's note of protest
against the seizure by the British cruiser
Magleienne of the German ImperiarMail
ptcamfr Bundesrath oil'- Delagca bay.
GERMAN OFFICIALS KEISPJ.XG COOL.
It seems that; the British Foreign Office
desires. llrst to communicate with the
ollicials at Durban on the subject. This
desire is not regarded as indica-ting any
disposition on the part of Great' Britain
to delay filial adjustment of the matter.
There has been a livelj' interchange of
notes betwoen London and -Berlin, but tho
German Foreign Oflice is apparently,
keeping cool. .
On the other hand.ja violent and threat
ing tone toward Great Britain is observa
ble in other ollicial quarters. The
Berliner Tagblatl remarks that the. anti-
Britisli fcntiment'-is stronger than ever.
CONTRABAND PROBABLY ON BOARD
The correspondent of the Associated
Press lias received information going to
show that the Bundesrath was possibly
guilty <if carrying contraband. Heavy,
shipments of arms and ammunition were
shipped in December to Macao and Hong
kong, consigned to order. It is surmised
tha.t their ultimate destination -was either
the Philippines or tlie Transyaai:
NO INTERFERENCE .FROM RUSSIA.
LONDON, January ::.— The Yier.ua cor
respondent'of the Standard says:
'•Emperor Nicholas has assured the
British Ambassador at St. Petersburg
tSir C. S. Scott) that Great Britain need
not. fear intervention, -or any sort of dil
ficulty. from Russia, in the present South
African complications.
"This may fairly be interpreted as nn
assurance including an indirect promise
that France will abstain from creating
diliiculties for England."
DULLER SOON TO ADVANCE.
LONDON. January 3.— General Buller
continues his night bombardments and
patrol surprises: As the Tugeja river is
again fordable. and the stretcher-beurers
have again been reqiiisiiiohed 'at Dur
ban and Piet«rtnaritzburg. -there is a
disposition to believe that: the. British ad
vance will not be long delayed.

HAY ASA, January 3.— To-day, General
Wood issued an important order, giving
freedom to forty men in the ..-■province of
Santa. Clara. .Some of them had ' been
detained without trial, and others were
suffering excessive punishment. All had
been released ten months before by an
order issued by General- Bates,^ /but they
were immediately rearrested by orders
from division headquarters, on the ground
that a. department commander did not
have the power to pardon.
After looking carefully into the .cases.
General Wood decided that the Judgment.:
of General Bate.-- regarding their release
was wise, and, consequently, to-duy's or
der, selling them at liberty, was promul
gated. .
The yellow-fever report for lSy9 shows
103 deaths in Havana, which means -that
eighty-three persons have died of the
disease since General Ludlow's report
was issued; at the- end of August last.
During lhe month of December there
'were seventy new cases, of whom twenty
two died. On January .Ist of this year
there were, twemy-nve crises, under treat
ment. To-day thert? ait: seventeen. The
cold weather will probably diminish the
number.
This: record does not compare favor
ably with the records prior- to the revolu
tion, although the sanitary authorities
claim that the increase ol" mortality, is
tine to the fact that an unusually large
number of Spanish immigrants have ar
rived during the last few months.

the murder of >trs. Katherine J.
Adams, the 'most mleie'sUiis testi
niony to-day was that of John A. Yocuin,
:i chemist, and a warm friend of Harry
Cornish's. Ht; said that any : .chemist
could niake cyanide of mercury. . the
poison which is alleged to have caused
the death of Mrs. Adams. .He made H
hiinVelf. and 'tin; process was easy, lie
took Prussian blue and yellow oxide «>f
mercury, boiled them together, filtered the
mass, and Ihe precipitate contained cya-'
hidti of mercury. Still other drugs would
yield cyanide of mercury. All the drugs
required wore what an; known as drj,
coh-rs. Molineux is siiperihterideiu of a
dry color factory in New York.
Yocuin .testified that any. man known as
:i chemist could produce the', ingredients
known" to be in cyanide of jnercury, even
without being a licensed .chemist.

Captain John W. Todd, member of the
House from Augusta county;: anil: Dr.-
Robert Prayser, president of the Stale
Female Xormal: School at Farmville,
spent- some time together at Kew Ford's
last night considering a bill which Can
tain Todd will offer to-day, anil which
will excite a'- great deal of. interest among
the young,- women of the State.
The bill provides for an annual appro
priutioii of $5,000, to be expended in edu
catijig- 100,. young- women' at; the State Fe
male 2sormal School at -. Farmville. • The
cost of line year's board and tuition of a
girl at the school is $100. The bill proposes
to pay.-. half the sum every year for three
years. The Board of Trustees Is to have
the appointing-, power. One girl is to be
appointed from each county in the State.
It" for any reason a scholarship becomes
vacant during the year, or if there be no
applicant from, a county, a girl from
some other county may be appointed, but
only for one term. The bill provides that
the appointee must be at least 15 .'years
of • age. Jt does not: fay how old .she may
be. No provision i.s made for the appoint
ment of city girls to scholarships. The
girls educated by the Suite have to bind
themselves to teach in the Virginia; public
schools for six years.
The bill has the hearty endorsement of
Dr. Frayser. ami also of Dr. J. \V. South
all, State Superintendent .of Public In
struction. Captain To'dd has considered
it very carefully. He, stated to a Dispatch
writer last night that he.; could see no
good reason -'.why the State should edu
cate young :iieri at the University of A'ir
jiinia and Virginia Military Institute, and
neglect to do the .same for young women
at the only State institution for the edu
cation oX females. There- are G.OOO-teach
ers in the public: schools of Virginia, 5,000
of which number are women. >Ir. Tod'l is
very anxious, to; have as many of these
trained for their work as possible.
Mr. Todd will make a hard light. for hid
bill, if necessary, but he does not' think
lighting will be required. Wiiile a .mem
ber of the General Assembly several ses
sions ago he introduced and had passed,
in the face of: strong ; opposition, a. bill
which required the eitipioyiiieuL of female
physicians at State hospitals.
A topic of conversation which excited
great interest among the legislators
about tlit; hotel lobbies last night was the
proposition to add several: important
amendments to the bill which recently
liastfed: the (>eneral Assembly imposing a
I. ix of l'< i-i'iu.s per ton on all fertilizers
sohl in this Suite.
While there' is no; doubt that such a
iii!l will be offered, its exact provisions
could not be learned. The most important
will be the one which takes away from
the Commissioner oi." Agriculture and the
Slate Board ihe power to appoint the
ten fertilizer -inspectors, for •■-.which the
bill provides." The amendment .-.•■. will -pro
pose that the appointments be made by
the General Assembly. .-■
The bill will probably be oiiVivd by
Judge ilann, of Xottoway, in the Senate
to-day.
The Tidvoi-ate'ri of the bill making rail
road companies liable for the death or
injury of employees, are lining up for
the light.
The bill will be introduced in the Gene
ral Assembly in a few days, probably
in each branch ■simultaneously.' Captain
K. S. Parks, of Page, will iead the light
for it. in the House. It is thought it will
pass that body by a large majority.
in the Senate, the light will be con
ducted byMlr. Mcllwaine. He and Sen
ator 'Withers,: of Danville, made a most
brilliant light for a. bill of this character
at the last session. They were unsuc
cessful. But Mr. Mcllwaine id undis
mayed, and is prepared to light as hard
this session. He will not have the aid
of Mr. Withers on the ttuor. as that ' gen
tleman- was not returned to the Senate,
but it was s-tated last night that he
would be here/during the consideration
of: the bill, and would 'render its cham
pions all the aid in his power".
Since the bill was considered at the last
Session, similar iuws nave beeiv enacteu
in several Slates. It is now a law in
twenty-seven Stales of the Union. The
bill, wtilch will be introduced in the Vii I
ginik. Legislature, is a copy of "the one
enacted into law by the Legislature oi
.North Carolina, in : February. 1&I7.
The bill introduced in the-Sep.ato yes
terday,designed to make the Atlantic-
Coast Line Railway Company a - Virginia
corporation, has also several -other im
portant provisions. The name of the
company will, be changed by dropping
the words "of Virginia." If the bill
passes the rond will be operated under
the Virginia charter alone, instead of
under those granted by the three States
of Virginia, North Carolina, and South
Carolina.' Provision is also, made for in
creasing the, number of directors and
capital stock, issuing bonds, the leasing
of other. lines -by ii. and consolidation
with othei- corporations. The acceptance
of the act by the company is: to consti
tute a -.waiver -by the- 'Coast-Line of the
exemption from taxation which- it now
enjoys in the '■'cities of Richmond. -Man-
Chester, and Petersburg," and county of
Chesterfield. • ■...'■
In political circles here.it is .stated. that
Mr. F. E. Cromwell will be chosen to
succeed Hon. M. S.Xewberne, member
of the House from Norfolk county, who
died here just : before Christmas. ' !Ur.'
Cromwell is.a brother of "Sheriff A. C.
Cromwell, o£ Norfolk county, "and is ex
ceedingly popular, in his section.
: The opponents of the bill abolishingithe
ollice of Register, of the .Land OrHce, and
conferring his ■duties upon-, the" Secretary
of the Commonwealth, feel sure of. de
feating it in the "House. It was stated

THE DANVILLE IIUOKEnEn SHAFT
The York Ij i no S< earner. -Hud to Pat
IJuck to West Toint.
The" York Line steamer, the Danville,
vvhich left Went Point for Baltimore at
C o'clock yesterday afternoon, broke her
shaft when opposite ' Richardson's wharf,
about four miles- down the York.
The vessel had to lie in the river for
several hours iuntil" a passing, tug took
her in tow and f broiight her back, to tho
Wharf at West Point.
There 'were sixty-five passengers on
board. .Many of them were from ■* this
city. The accident was notof a. character
to hurt anybody or to cause a panic. In
deed, there was but little", inconvenience
occasioned, as the boat was moored at
the wharf, and the passengers allowed
to sleep out the night. They will be
■brought back to Richmond at B:4G' this
morning.
The Danville- is a very fine vessel, and
her accident Is inexplicable. She is re
markably lucky, also, a,nd has never had
a mishap of" any consequence.
The rei>uirs to the steamer will be made
as 'quickly as possible. It is probable
that another steamer will be/put in the
trade to take the/place of the. Danville
while she is being repaired. .

It is conlidontly. "expected that the work
of construction 'will be resumed at the
Pace abattoir within a few weeks. Up
to this time every expense has been met
by Mr. Pace himself, and the suspension
of operations was. due solely to the fact
that Mr. Pace Had been unable— in view
of the present nuancial stringency in the
great money centres— to float the bonds
authorized in a satisfactory manner. The
building is almost completed. The ex
penillturo of 32.W0 0r.5;5,C00 more is all
that is required, and then the machinery
will bel added.
It has been /decided to reorganize, .the

LONDON', .Inj^iar^ i ",.— The. ..United
States Ambassador. Joseph K. Choate,
visited the British Premier, Lord Salis
bury, at the Foreign Orlicc, this evening,
for the purpose of making tlie first "offi
cial representations on the subject: of the
Delagoa-bay Hour seizure. 'Mr. Choate re
ceived no definite reply, as the Premier
informed him that the British Govern
ment had -not yet arrived at any decis
ion as to whether or not foodstuffs were
contraband of war. But Lord 'Salisbury
assured Mr. Choate that the commercial
rights of the United States : would be
equitably considered, and that a. decision
■in this important matter would be reach
ed as soon as possible. The interview was
brief. .
The Associated Press lenrns that Lord
Salisbury has not only'got the Attorney-
General, Sir Kichard - AVebster. ■• working
hard on tin: question of the Delagoa-bay
seizures, but that he is consulting with
the, ablest lawyers in Great Britain.
It was further learned by a representa
tive of the Associated Press that Great
Britain may lay down a. -new regulation
regardiny contraband, making 1 a distinc
tion between food evidently intended for
domestic purposes and food palpably in
tended for.': -field rations. Under the latter
head might come certain' classes of can
ned goods.

WASHIXGTOX, D. C, January ,3.—
(Special.)— The reassembling' of Congress
after the recess was uneventful to Vir
ginia as it was to every other State al
most except for 'the receipt of the report
of Colonel Allen toChieiVEhgineer Wil
son on the survey and examination of the
.James-river channel : at Richmond. The
report will be referred to the River and
Harbor Committee, and will also be
placed before the Appropriations Com
mittee. ■•■'■'
General Wiison is very pronounced in
his endorsement of the recommendations
of Colonel Allen, and urges: that they bo
favorably considered and acted 1 : on by
the present Congress.;. It is recommended
by Colonel Allen that the sum of STiM,
9-i".l3.be expended in deepening- to' 22 feet
at mean low tide and widening- to 200
feet the channel between the lower city
lino of Richmond and' the locks. This
amount is to be. in addition to the regular
and continuing- appropriation for the im
provement of the James river.
Colonel Allen further recommends that
the sum of $200,000 be expended in the
improvement of the harbor proper o'£
Richmond. In i-egard to this work Colo
nel Allen says: "Unless some provision
is made to enable large vessels ample
harbor facilities ninny will require the
aid of tugs to move them down-stream to
a point where they can turn. A turning
area about -iOO! feet wide by COO feet lor.g
would greatly facilitate the navigation
of the -harbor. The needed area could be
obtained by enlarging the width of the
proposed improved channel by 200 feet for
a length oC.CGO feet."
General Wilson concurs in all the
recommendations made ; by Colonel Allen.
TRANSFER OF CONSUL YATKS.
Among the nominations sent to the
Senate to-day was that of Alonzo ('.
Yiites, of Virginia, at present Consul at
Patras. Greece, to be transferred to Mar
tinique,. West' Indian. Ishinjls.^_,He;.wijl
si'Jll" iiold' the raiik of Consul, but tho
transfer promotes him to a./ much more
important post. The trade between this
country and the West Indies is daily
growing and becoming more important,
while that, of l J atras is comparatively in
significant.
THE CRUMPACKER piILL.
I Speaking of the bill to reduce repre
sentation from the South in the House,
I Representative ■ Hay, of Virginia; .to-day
matlc; the following very pertinent and
interesting- comments:
"The bill introduced by Mr. Crumpack
j-er, of Indiana, having- for its object a new
j method, for determining representation
I from the States in the House of liepro
| senlatives. is a wry far-reaching one.
lane involves questions not so far.:'ad
i verted to by its author. Seemingly it is
I a measure to: diminish representation in
! the lower house of Congress, from the
Southern Slates. In reality, if this bill
should become a. law it will affect, tho
New England Stares. New York, and
oilier Eastern States. It is really a bill
to increase representation from the Mid
dle. Western, and Northwestern States,
thereby giving- to that section of the
country a large and undue preponderance
in the Electoral College, and as a conse
quence the practical control of all na
tional conventions.
'•Take, for example, the two States of
.Massachusetts and Indiana. Each of these
States has thirteen members in the House
of Representatives. The "population of
Massachusetts; as shownby the Congres
sional Directory, is. 2.27-1 .59.";. The vote cast
in the thirteen districts.: of Massachusetts
in IS9S (a presidential -year) was 357.972.
Indiana has a population of _,^10.C:!:>— (14,00}
j less than Massachusetts, and .yet in IS%
the vote cast in the thirteen districts of
Indiana was ♦J22.2W—2i.(. 277 more votes
than were cast in Massachusetts.. Now,
if representation is to be based upon the
number of votes cast, and not. upon popu
lation, then the representation of Indiana
would be largely increased, and that of
Massachusetts greatly diminished.
MAINE AND OHIO; ILLINOIS AND
NEW YORK.
"Maine has a population oZ GOI.OSC. and
east a. vote in IS'JO of .103,034. while the
First. Sixth. Tenth, and -Twelfth districts
i of Ohio, with a population of C73.2'5, cast
a vote of 181,981. New Hampshire; with a
[population of 37G.r>:;0. cast a vote ol! b1i,252
| in IS%, while the Third and .Tenth dis
tricts of lowa, with a population of 372.75J",
: - cast- 10.3.311 votes. In twenty-one districts
of Illinois, with a 'population of 1.000.423,
there were east in --.lS9t5 1.0"5.u5T votes; in
twenty-one district's of Xew-York. with a'
population of -US'S.OTS. there .were east
only SGO.GS" votes, .a difference in favor of
Illinois of 174,994 votes. . „
"These are a. few examples of how the"
proposed law would operate in favor of
'the States I have named. Of course, the
law would apply- to all of the States; it
could not bo conlined in its operation to
a few States. Such being the effect of the
law, one. wonders if. the Republican party,
is prepared to place it upon the Statute
books."

MANILA. January :;:— o:r.O p. / M.— The •
health officers have found a. natrve with
all the symiJtoms of bubonic plague, in. a.
house in the walled city, where two sus
picious deaths have- occurred. The pativ'nt
has been isolated, and every precaution
has been taken to prevent' a spread of
tho disease.'
/QUARANTINE FOR PHrUPPLVES.
"WASHINGTON, .D. C. January 3.—
The War Department is taking steps to
prevent the introduction of the plague
into the E'hilippines. and Secretary, f-ioot
this morning- called into consultation Sur
geon-General AVynian. of the M^ariue Hos
pital Sei^'ice. to discuss the establishment
of a quarantine system for the islands.
It toh' decided that the War Depart
nieiit should adopt toward the Philippines
a policy like that it pursued towards
Cuba in tl'-rt matter of the protection of/
health — namely, confide the machinery of
atiuarantino system to the Marine Hos
pital Service. ' .
NO CONFIRMATION -YET.
Surgeon-General' "VVy man has no con
firmation of the report that three sus
pected cases/of bubonic plague have been
disi:overed within the walled city of ifa
nila. but no attempt i? made to conceal
the gravity of the situation, should the
report prove true.
Still, it is said, a few 'sporadic cases
.need not necessarily •result in an epi
demic in* the islands.
NOT SO MUCH DREADED NOW.
Surgeon-General AV'ymau says the dis
ease, no longer, creates the dread it f>iice
did, because:, it has been demonftrated
that It can be handled by modern scien
tific work. It has been stamped cut of,
Alexandria. .Egypt: Kobe, Jsipan. and Yi
onna, Austria. The methods of righting it
are the same as those against small-pox—
isolation, disinfection, and sanitation. The
greatest danger is due to its possible in
troduction into new localities through
ambulant, or walking, cases, -which defy
the surveillance of the authorities. One
feature 'of tlie disease which is gratifying
to the authorities, in view of the possible
outbreak of an epidemic in the Philip
pines, is the fact that its history shows
that it does not attack '.'/Europeans as
readily as natives.

JACKSON, MISS.. January ".—The con
test for the short-term United States St-n
atorship from Mississippi is to-r.ight ar;
open question. There Were ae.verat cau
cuses, of the Sullivan men;to-(}ay. The
claim put forth by -them several days
ago was that then- man would ■hav»; ; a
majority of twenty-eight. At this mom
ing's, caucus it was seen that the ma
jority had narrowed down to twelve, and
at a' later hour .-to-night Senator Sulli
van's supporters claim he wilt. receive a
majority of six on joint ballot.
The sensational charges brought against
Mr. Sullivan during the past three months
have apparently had .some effect, 'and it
is believed- that he will have a hard fight
to defeat Lowry. -
Many rumors aiv 'afloat, among them
being one to the effect that a portion of
the instructed vote is! prepared -to bolt.
Little credence can ha placed in the
story, as the individual members who are
supposed to be .'party to -the scheme deny
that they have any such intentions.
It has not yet been decided when the
election of the short-term senator will be.
brought before the joint, session. ;v; v
