White of Plattsburg have presented a petition to Governor Morton asking for the removal of Superintendent of State, Prisons Austin Lathrop.

The petitioners claim that Mr. Lathrcp‘ has violated his duty in permitting the warden of Auburn prison to purchase large quantities-of beef for the use of the prison at prices much higher than it could have been purchased for, and that the beef was of a poor and inferior quality; that the Warden sold a large quantity of scrap iron and brass and a large number of horse collars for much less than the-property was worth; that the “general ledger book” used at Auburn prison was not properly kept for the years 1892 and 1893; that subordinate officials at Auburn have been permitted to draw more than one salary each, contrary to law; that profits to the state from the hollow ware and cast iron industries, amountingin 1892 to $50,- 000, were lost to the state by the abandon- ment of the state account system and the transfer of these industries to a citizen of Baltimore; that the law relating to the labor of prisoners has been violated by operating under the f‘piecc price system;” that the labor of the prisoners was sub- stantially let at a given price per day; that the principal keeper at Sing Sing has been permitted to occupy for several years a house belonging to the state without pay- ing rent therefor; that this keeper has been permitted to sit in judgment upon the conduct of refractory prisoners and to prescribe cruel and inhuman punishments for misconduct, contrary to the law which imposes these duties and responsibilities upon the warden; that a. contract to place looks upon the prison cells at Sing Sing was let for $13, 600 without advertising for bids, and that the contractor made a profit of $5,000. ~ A Deliberate Robber. , CHICAGO, Sept. 28,—An unusually hold robbery occurred in a Pullman sleeper on‘ the Wabash limited as the train was'leav- ing the city for Detroit last night.

THE GZAR’S GRASP ON CHINA .3. Well Defined Rumor That Port Arthur Will Be Turned Over to Him—Amer- ican Capital Is Always Wel- come, but Not the English. fi—h WASHINGTON, Sept. 28.—Reports com- ing here to officials and to the diplomatic representatives of eastern countries indi- cate that the Slavonic, or Russian influ- ence, is becoming dominant, and that the Anglo-Saxon, or English influence. which has hitherto been uppermost in the devel- opment of the east, is being systematically and surely eliminated, especially from the control of China. This evolution is re- garded as of great importance. The advance of Russian influence and the retirement of the British has come by almost imperceptible stages, none of which has been sufficient in itself ' to attract marked attention, but all of them com- bining toward complete Russian suprem- acy. At the’close Of the recent war Rus- sia dictated the evacuation of the Lion- Tong peninsula and the great fortress of Port Arthur, which had been captured by Japan. His now believed. by those in a position to be officially informed of the . situation that it is the ultimate purpose of Russia to occupy Port Arthur, and that the formal evacuation by the Japanese will be followed before long by a Russian entry under Chinese approval. After Russia had dictated the retire- ment of the Japanese from Port Arthur the Russian government advanced the sum necessary to pay the first installment of indemnity to Japan. The amount reached $100,000,000 in gold, including the war indemnity and the payment for the release of Port Arthur. This has been followed within the last few days by re- pOrts ofthe establishment at Shanghai of a Russian bank which will be a medium of China’sfinancial dealing with Russia. These are some of the principal events which are regarded by those in official po- sitions as tending tow ’ Chinese depend. ence on Russia. Casting Ofl' the English. While Russia. is thus making 1... hold , on the east secure, the English influence is being thrown off bya succession of events, some of them threatening to occa- sion serious trouble. The Chinese have dismissed Sir Robert Hart from the head Of the customs department. Sir Robert was the principal representative of Eng- lish influence in China. He had modeled the Chinese customs service on English lines, and ofi'icered iii-.with foreigners. His ‘ title was conferred upon him by the queen 'j by reason of his conspicuous service in ‘ China. His retirement has been followed by a demand by China for the recall of Mr. O’Connor, the British minister to Peking. the ostensible reason being. the zealousness of the minister in~thc recent investigation of riots against foreigners, though those conversant with the facts say that the real reason was the influence of Russia. ' A striking illustration of the change in China hasccme to the attention of the officials hére through an American gentle- man recently arrived in Washington after being in China for some time negotiating for the building of a railroad with Ameri. can capital. He found the Russian influ. once so strong that he Went to the Rus- sian (ambassador at Peking to learn if the American» project would be viewed with favor by the Russians. The ambassador said: “Yes, Americans and American capital will be welcome in the development of China, but British capital is not wanted.” In the most emphatic manner the em- hassador made known his Opinion that British influence in China was at an end, and that Russia had openly entered upon her course of controlling and developing China. ,' » In an indirect way the United States has become involved in this evolution Of Chi— nese affairs. The present condition Was foreseen by Great Britain some time ago. Kimberly's Overture Declined. Before the Rosebery government went out of office Lord Kimberly addressed a. note to this country, suggesting joint ac- tion in the settlement of the'Chlna-Japan trouble. It has since been disclosed by British officials at Washington that the purpose of Lord Kimberly was to cement English as against Russian influence. The United Stat-es declined Lord Kimber- ly’s overture, and as a. result the Bus- sians have been left free to execute their hnoad plan of bringing the eastern world under the influence of the czar. Several interesting eastern events are to occur shortly..,_ On Nov. 8 the first in- stallment of 50,000,000 taels on the Jap- anese war indemnity is due. Russia hast already deposited the money in China, ,but a. grave question has arisen whether China, havingtlic money, will pay it to Japan. One faction demands that part of it be retained for China’s home needs, with an extension of debt to J apan. Ruse sia insists that the full sum shall be paid to Japan. ' It appears also from an official report received here, dated the latter part of August, that Li Hung Chang is again in disfavor, and that the leaders of the ig- norant native factions are uppermost. Thelviceroy of Napkin is the head of the oppositiOn to Li, and the reports reaching OfliCials here show that this Nankin vice- roy is the new power in China. A purely nominal title of “imperial chancellor” has been conferred upon .Li, but it has no powor or duties. It has been found, hOW-. ever, that Li is ‘the only . man capable of negotiating the new commercial treaty with Japan, and he has been named for this duty. A serious hitch has occurred in the treaty owing to the Japanese demand that Japanese courts shall have extra territos rial jurisdiction in China, while no such Chinese courts are to be allowed in Japan. This is a” humiliation which the Chinese resent. . . But thesequestions of treaty. indemfi nity, etc” are‘ regarded as subordinate in importance to the larger‘question of Rus-. sian supplanting British influence. New President Eur Colby. .
