Great Britain Has Not-Yielded to
Russia in China.
I‘O STRENGTHEN THE FLEET
The Indian, Australian and Pacific Squad-
rons 01311811111 Ready to Sail--On Condi-
tions Would Seize Chinese Territory--
The Japanese \Vould Co—operate.
London, Feb. 4.——On incontrovertible
‘ ruthority the Associated Press learns
that Great Britain has not backed
iown‘on the question of making Ta-
Lien-VVan a free port. The Marquis of
Salisbury, Mr. George N. Curzon, the
Parliamentary Secretary of the For-
eign Office, the Russian Ambassador
and the Chinese Minister each said in
conversation that they had not heard
of any back down.
The opening of Ta- Lien- XVan, it is
pointed out, was never; made a sine qua
non in connection with the loan to
Shina. In the preliminary negotia—
:ions on that subject the opening of Ta-
Lien- Wan was “sketched in neut1al
tints, ” Great Britain only suggesting it
.s one condition favoring a speedy com-
pletion of the loan. She never demand-
ed it, and, therefore, in no sense can be
said to have backed down if the desire
was not persisted in.
The question of Ta—Lien—VVan is,
however, with other suggested condi-
tions of the loan still in process of ne-
gotiation.
The heat of the Russian press on the
subject is in no sense shown by the
Russian Government in its communi-
cations to the Foreign Office. Though
Russia has, and means to continue to
protest in the stoutest manner against
Ta-Lien-Wan being opened by British
Influence, she will not carry her protest
to the point of making it a casus belll.
Further, it is by no means Russia’s
intention to close China; to other 113.-
tions.
The irritation in Great Britain and
the disappointment in the United States
over the so-called backing down of the
Marquis of Salisbury is therefore not
vet justified. Great Britain is acting
strenuously in favor of free ports in
China and hopes sincerely to have the
moral support of the United States.
If events push Great Britain from
this position, with the prospect of de-
feat therein, she will ask for the sup—
port of Washington, which she has not
vet done.
To Strengthen the Fleet.
Shanghai, China, Feb. 4.——The China.
Gazette says the British Indian, Aus-
'ralian and Pacific squadrons have been
ordered ready to reinforce the fleet in
the Far East, thus giving the British
admiral a fleet capable of coping with
any combination opposing British pol-
, icy.’
“In the meanwhile,” adds the China
Gazette. the British claims in the
Yang—tSe—Iiang will be supported by'a
strong squadron stationed'at Chusan,
where two other war ships are en route.
[n the event of Russia hoisting her
flag over the forts at Port Arthur, the
British admiral has been ordered to
hoist the British flag over Chusan, and
the Japanese fleet will ascend the
Yang-tse-Kiang as soon as the river
rises.
“About 7,500 Russian artillery and
cavalry and quantities of stores and
munitions have arrived at Kirin, the
capital of the Manchurian province of
Kirin.”
A Disquietlng Poi-tent.
London, Feb. 4.—Some of the papers
refer to the absence of the Russian and
German Ambassadors from the Mar-
quis of Salisbury' 3 regular Wednesday
reception of the Diplomatic Corps as
being a disquieting portent.

executed, after trial by a Chinese court.

London, Feb. 4.-A dispatch from
Shanghai says that two British war
ships entered Port Arthur and left

SLOSSON AND SHAEFER.
; They “ii“ MIeet in New York to Contest
for the National Chalnpiouship.
New York, Feb. 4.—The billiard
match between Champion George 8105-
son and Jacob Shaefer, which is anu
nounced to begin tomorrow at the Mad-
ison Square Garden in creating great
lovers of the game.
Slosson recently defeated all the crack
pla ‘crs of the country, including Shaef-
er, at the tournament held in this city
last month. Since then Shaefer has been
training hard and has also done some
very clever work at the Chicago tour-
nament held last week, having run 400
points in ten innings, thus defeating
Champion Ives’ record mark. '
George Slosson has been hard at. work
practicing for the match, and unless
the effect of his recent illness sets him
'back at the last minute, he will be in
.1
‘ miles.
good condition.
The conditions of the match are 600
points on 16-inch balk for $500 a side
and the Brunswick-Balke-Collender
trophy.
Chewing Gum in Kansas.
Topeka. Kan, Feb. 4.—-—Bishop John
3. Vincent, of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, before the State Tempeiance
Union, appealed to his hearers to drive
the chewing-gum habit out of Kansas.
He said the chewing-gum vice had
made millionalres out of a few men in
a few years and was encouraging dan-
gerous habits among the people. The
bishop was particular in his criticism of
the chewing-gum girl, and urged that
she should be given to understand that
the indulgence of the habit was to her
‘liscredit. ,
To Extend Yellowstone Park.
IVashington, Feb. 4.—-Secretary Bliss
has sent to the Public Land committees
of the Senate and House a bill pre-
pared by Col. Young, the Acting Super-
intendent of the Yellowstone National
Park, for an'extension of the limits of
that reservation by about 3,000 square
In this extension is included
the existing timber reserve in “'yom-
‘ng, which abuts partly on the east
1nd partly on the southern portions of
the reservation.
PEPUTIES IN THE DOCK.
. t
the Prosecution Opens Its Case in the
Lattimer Riots Trial.
Wilkesbarre, Pa...‘ Feb. 4.-—With the
'ury selected, the trial of Sheriff Martin
1nd the deputies began in earnest yes-
:erday morning. There was a bigger
:rowd in the court room than Wednes-
lay. .
The first thing done was a monoto-
ions calling off of the long rolls of wit-
1esses. ‘Those for the prosecution were
2alled by Interpretor Schwartz, as no
me else had a tongue nimble enough
:0 pronounce the Polish and Hungarian
tames.
The announcement was made in the
Lithuanian tongue and also in English
:hat all whose, names had been called
should leave the court room and go to
1ther rooms assigned them. and that

To this Judge Woodward added that
no witnesses on either side would be
tllowed within hearing of the case ex—
?ept the one being examined, and that
If any one attempted to remain or
should befound within the room he
.vould be guilty of contempt of court.
The deputies took the front seats. and
501‘ the first time since the trial began
were all seated close together.
At 10.30 o’clock Judge Woodward in—
:errupted a general conference of the
1ttorneys and asked: ‘
“Who is to open the case?"
“\Ir.McGah1en,” 1eplied the District
Attornev. {This was a surpiise, as it
1ad been geneially thought that Att01-
icy Scarlett would make the first
:peech.
Mr. McGahren spoke for thiee quar-
:ers of an hour He reminded the jury
)f the importance of the case; and re—
viewed the incidents which led up to
the shooting of the strikers by the dep~
ities on Sept. 10. He asserted that
the body of armed strikers which
rnarched on the mines at Lattimer on
that day was entirely peaceable.
“We shall show you, gentlemen." said
Mr. McGahren, “that this was a blood-
.hirsty, unjustifiable massacre, and We
nave plenty of proof that one of the.
leputles had been heard to say that he
lidn’t see what the Sheriff wanted to
lrag them around all day for and not
tllow them a chance to shoot.”
The testimony of the witnesses re-
realed the entire scope of the prosecu—
;ion, charging the Sheriff and his men
vith deliberate premeditated murder.
l‘he cross-examination showed that
:he defense will try to prove that the
Killing was really necessary, because
:he Strikers had terrorized the commu—
nity and because they believed that
“he strikers were going to mob the
working miners at Lattimer.
The great issue at stake is. of
2ourse, much more than the question
is to whether murder was done. This
trial is to settle whether or not bodies
)f strikers may march to places where
'nen are at work and call upon them to
:ome out and also just how far a sne:-~
ff must let them go before he begins to
Kill.
The two strikers who testified yester-
iay were the leaders of the crowd that
marched fro 11 Harwood to Lattimer.
where the killing was done. They de—
clared that the march was undertaken
in pursuance of a plan adopted at a
'neeting the night before. that they
should go peacefully and quietly to
their fellow-miners at Lattimer and
.irge them to come out. They declared
that strict orders were given that no
one should do any violence, or carry
any weapon: that not one of their par-
;y was armed with any instrument that
could be used in committing an as~
sault, not even a stick as thick as a
finger.
The cross-examination, ably con-
ducted by John T. Lanahan, one of the
ablest criminal lawyers of this State,
failed to shake in the slightest degree
the testimony of the unlettered men.
’Bhe trial of Sheriff Martin and his
:leputies promises to make a new rec-4
3rd in criminal cases, so far as the
number of witnesses called is con-
cerned. The Commonwealth has
brought 106 witnesses up from Hazle-
ton to testify for the prosecution, and
most of them are cared for at the coun-
ly's expense. On the other hand, the

PROHIBITIVE FRUIT DEGREE.
President Asked for Information by Sen-
ate Concerning Germany’s Action.
Washington, Feb. 4.—In.the Senate
yesterday Germany's order prohibiting
the importation of American fruits into
the empire called out a resolution from
Mr. Davis (Minn,), » chairman of the
Committee on Foreign Relations, call-
ing upon the President, if not incom-
patible with the public interest, to
transfer "to the Senate the correspond-
ence and other information bearing up—
on the matter ln his possession or that
of the'State Department. The reso-
lution was agreed to.
A brief cable from Ambassador White
at Berlin, that came to the Department
of State, conveyed the only official in-
formation so far received as to the de-
cree of exclusion of American fruit
from Prussia. This cablegram was so
meagre that a request has been sent to
Mr. White for further details. While
it is not .posltively known, it is sup-
posed that the decree applies only to
Prussia, and not to all Germany.
Whether or not it applies to Canadian
fruit is a matter of speculation and in
view of the large trade in Canadian ap-
ples this will be important for the Do-
minion authorities to consider.
San Francisco Not Alarmed.
San Francisco, 0111., Feb. 4.—Among
the fruit exporters in San Francisco the
‘ news of the action of the German Gov-
ernment prohibiting the importation of
American fruit has created no alarm.
Albert Castle, of Castle Brothers, says
that the market in Germany for this
State’s fresh fruits is not of sufficient
importance to justify alarm.
Germany Backs Dowu.
Berlin, Feb. 4.—The Bundesrath yes-
terday made an important decision in
3 the matter of the Government's pron:-
bition of the importation of American
fruits. By this decision only fresh
fruit containing the plant louse called
the schildlaus, or San Jose scale. is pm-
hiblted but damaged fruit and plants
are entirely prohibited.
Dried fruits are not affected by 1::-
Government’s orderfl Yesterday’s mod?
fication of the decree by the Builds;
rath is practically a. backdown.
The Cologne Gazette says that t'e 1‘-
nance Minister telegraphed the order 11‘
prohibition to the Custom House a’
Emmerich on January 30, with instr‘u
1. us that thereafter all consignmen'
. 1' American fresh fruit should be SC-)
tack to the United States.
The Hamburg Senate received tho
dcr of prohibition on Jan. 31.
It is believed that the possibility of
retaliation on the part of the United
States influenced to-day’s action of the
Bundesrath. ' '

A‘GREAT SEA-COURSER.
The Monster Pretoria 21 Triumph of Ger-
man Ship Bu lding.
New York, Feb. 3.—The expected ar-
rival in New York of the steamer Pre-
toria of the Hamburg-American Line.
is attracting a great deal of attention
in the shipping community. The
Pennsylvania, of this line, upon her e11-
try into the transatlantic: service, cre-
ated a positive sensation not only in
the maritime world, which is familiar
with ships and shipping, but with the
public at large. This colossal freight
carrier not only wiped out all records
in the line of tonnage capacity, but set
the mark so far in advance of anything
previously accomplished that she has
not yet been excelled by the production
of any rival company.
The Pretoria is the crowning trlumph
of the extensive ship-building estab-
lishment of Blohm & Voss, at Ham-
burg, Germany, and adds another suc-
cess to. the many already achieved by
years. She has a length over all '01
586 feet, a breath of 62, a depth of 42,
No
' steamship in the world has a greater
carrying capacity. The Pretoria, meas-
ured as buildings are, is seven stories
high, and above her seven decks, and
70 feet above the surface of the water.
is the captain's bridge, from whim
the commander of this monster ship
may control her movements by the
most comprehensive system of mod-
ern electrical signals, reaching to all
departments of the vessel.
The Pretoria has capacity for 20.000
tens of freight, an amount which i:
would take twenty- five railroad trains
of twenty- five cars each to transport
by rail. It must not be understood
that the Pretoria is only designed for
cargo carrying. She has most lux-
urious accommodations for 328 cabin
passengres, and comfortable and roomy
quarters for a. large number of trav-
elers by steerage, as well as for the
large crew necessary for handling her.
Structurally considered, the Pretoria
is an example of the latest and most
modern skill in ship building. She is
divided into thirteen water-tight com-
partments by twelve transverse bulk-
heads, and has a. double keel for her
entire length; She is, therefore, prac—
tically non- ~sinkable.

Advance in Wire Nails.
Cleveland, Feb. 3.—The American
Steel and Wire Company, in other
words the consolidation of the entire
American wire industry, seems to'be
an accomplished fact. One of _ the
strongest indicatidjis in support of the
conclusion is a sudden and marked
stiffening in the price of wire and
nails, which has come generally this
week. The price was put up on Mon-
day over $1 a ton beyond what it was
previous to the recent temporary drop,
and as much as $3, $4 or 85 a ton over
some prices for wire which were re-
ported as having been made last week.
This huge concern, with a. capitaliza-
tion of $87, 000,000, all representing prop-
erty, owns all the establishments in the
country with which wire rod mills are
connected.

Is’a Crisis Expected?
'Washington, Feb. 3.——Representative
Berry, of Kentucky, a Democratic
member of Foreign Affairs Committee
of the House, said yesterday that he
thought the situation in Cuba was
more grave than the Administration
desired known.
“The recent order for the Brooklyn
and Montgomery,” said Mr. Berry, "to
go to Southern waters is, in my opin-
on in anticipation of trouble. Then gen-
eral sentiment in the Foreign Affairs
Committee is that the Administration
expects some crisis when the auton-
omy plan fails. The fact that the re—
ports given out at the State Depart-
ment and those sent by De Lome to
Spain differ materially is priof that
the Administration is not making pub-
lic half its information.
More Vessels Going to Cuba
Washington. Feb. 3.—In addition to
the Maine and the Brooklyn, the United

In West Indian waters by the cruiser
Montgomery, the gunboat Wilmington
and the training ship Annapolis. This
action has been decided on as a pre-
cautionary measure to offset the ex—
pected coming of a Spanish flotilla and
the probability of trouble in Cuban
seacoast towns.
