Chinese Peace Envoys Discredited.

LONDON, Feb. 4.-The Central News correspondent in Hiroshima teIegraphs under yesterdays date:
 Premier Count Ito and Viscount Mat su, minister of foreign affairs, had a second interview with China's peace envoys Saturday afternoon. The main object of the meeting was to exchange credentials.

They refused at once to continue negotia- tions and requested the envoys to leave the country as soon as possible The envoys will sail tomorrow on the steamship Owarimaru for Nagasaki, where they will await the arrival of the mail steamship for China. They will be accompanied until they depart by the inspector general of police and several assistant inspectors, who will prevent any hostile demonstration on the part of the people.
 The parliamentary resolution to ap- prove all expenditures, regardless of amount and date, is prefaced with the declaration that the objects of the war have not been realized yet.
 The Central News correspondent in Wei-Hai-Wei telegraphs, under date of February l, via Talian Wan:
 "The Chinese war ships were much damaged in yesterdays fight. After the Paichiyaso forts capitulated, the Japanese turned the captured guns against the Chinese war ships, hitting them repeatedly and forcing them to change their position,
 "A violent snowstorm in the after noon of January 31 compelled the Jap anese fleet to remain inactive and thus frustrated the Japanese plan to bring on general naval engagement. The Japanese still hold the entrance to the harbor."
 A Central News dispatch sent from Hai Chong on Friday says that Vieeroy Liu Kung ri has arrived at New Chwang and will assume supreme com m and of the Chinese operations in Manchuria. Gen. Nodzu, the Japanese commander, expects to be attacked to- morrow or Tuesday. His spies report that there are about 50,O00 Chinese troops in the neighborhood of Yeng Row and New Chwang.

twenty convicts and twenty-three head
of mules were cut off from the outside
by the fire. The smoke, which was fol-

men and mules. After three hours
hard work the fire was extinguished
and the men pushed on.

found in bunch near the air shaft
where they had gathered in hope of
keeping alive. Several of them were
on the ground. They were hastily
carried out on terra firma and all
brought around all right.
Patton and Stevens were from South
Alabama, and were sent up for grand
larceny.
The fire was of incendiary origin, as
no fire is used about the engine room,
steam from the outside being the.

north end of an extensive and fertile
plain. It is surrounded by strong

row, irregular and unpaved. The
houses, generally built of the same
materials as the wall, are one story
high, with fat roofs and narrow open
ings instead of windows. A large por-,
ton of the space within the walls is
occupied with gardens. open areas
and market places. In the bazaar and
market pidceS large AioSoS
trade is carried on.
The city possesses twenty mosques,
of which six are remarkable for their
size and elegance. There are several
tanning and leather-dyeing establish
ments, some of them of great extent.
The population is estimated at about
10000.
On the south of the city, outside the
walls, stands palace of the sultan OF
Morocco, occupying a space of about
$50 acres.

reached the summit of its prosperity in
the thirteenth century, when it had
more than zoo, 600 inhabitants. 1t has
since been rapidly decaying, and is now
half in ruins.

George w. Mcbride, Ex-senator OF State
Breaks the Deadlocx and Is Elected
Senator from Oregon to Succeed j. n.
DOlph.a
SALEM, Ore, Feb. 24.-George w.
Mcbride, ex-secretary of state, has
been elected United States senator to
succeed j. N. Dolph. At the begin
ming of the twenty-third ballot last
hight Cleston, of Columbia county, a
Dolph man, arose and presented the
name of Mcbride The immense
throng in attendance Immediately gave
cheer after cheer for Mcbride. AS the
roll-call progressed it became evident
that Mcbride would be elected.
When he received the forty
fifth vote, which was necessary
to election, bedlam broke loose.
All the republicans began to change
their votes and when the call was COM
pleted, cBride received the full repub-
lican strength of 72 votes. Mr.. Mcbride
made brief speech, thanking the
legislature for the election.
1t was a narrow escape from dead
lock, for had the election been delayed
fifteen minutes longer the time for adj
journment sine die of the legislature
would have arrived.
George w. Mcbride, the senator
elect, is Al years of age. He is a ma
tive son of Oregon and a lawyer by
profession. He has served in the state
legislature, and held the Office of Sec
rotary of state for eight years, going
out of Office last January. Mr.. Nc
Bride has never been identified with
the silver or. anti-silver element, nor
has he ever been in a position where
he was obliged to make a record on
the question. Inasm UGH as he was
elected by Dolph's supporters, how
ever, it is reasonable to suppose that
he will not ally himself with the free
coinage people.
