English Lawmakers VIII Have Important
Bills TO Consider.


Bills TO Consider.
London. Feb. 5.-The fourth session Of
the Thirteenth parliament of Queen
Victoria was opened at 2 O'Clock this
afternoon. Her speech was as follows:
MY Lords and Gentlemen: My re-
lations with the foreign powers remain
friendly and on a satisfactory footing
An agreement has been concluded after
protracted negotiations between my
government and that of the French re-
public for the settlement of the frontier
between my colony of Sierra Leon and
neighboring French possessions. re-
greet to say the war between China and
Japan still continues. l have main
tanned a close and cordial understanding
with the powers interested in these re-
gions and I shall lose no favorable OPP
portunity Of promoting a peaceful ter
mination of the contest
In consequence of reports which have
reached my government of excuses
committed by Turkish troops, regular
or irregular, on Armenians in Asia
Minor, l thought il right in conjunc-
ton with the other powers, to make
representations to the porte. The sui
tan has declared his intention of severe
ly Furnishing any Of his officers or sol
diers who have been guilty of such
acts and has sent a commission to con-
duct an investigation on the spot. Dele
gates from the powers which have con-
suls at ErzerOum will accompany this
commission ! am happy to observe the
striking fact that in Ireland offenses
of all kinds against the law have sunk
during the past year to the lowest level
hitherto marked in the official records
Proposals will be submitted to you for
remedying defects which experience
has brought to light in the working of
the law for landlord and tenant in Ire
land and for dealing with certain evict-
ed tenants whose situations still CON
stitutes peril to social order. Bills will
be presented to you dealing with the
church establishment in Wales A bill
will also be submitted for popular con-
troll of the liquor traffic and the abo-
lition of plural voting and provisions for
the payment of charges Of returning Of
ficers at elections: also bills for the uni
fication of London and facilitating the
construction Of light railways which
will, ! trust. benefit the districts in
view of agricultural depression. The
bill for promotion of Cancellation in
trade disputes and the amendment to
the factory accounts, the bill for com
pletiOn of a system of county govern
ment i'm Scotland and for further legis-
lation for crOfters will be submitted
to you"

Officers Of the Gunboat Concord
Held by Chinese.
THEIR FATE AS YET UNKNOWN
Accidental Shooting of Native by "A
Hunting Party the Cause of all
the Disturbance.

London. Feb. "A dispatch from
Shanghai says telegram has
been received there from Chin Ka-
ing stating that a party of officers from
the American warship Concord landed
at Chin Kaing for the purpose of shoot
ing game They, by accident, shot a
Chinaman. The poplace became infu-
rated and attacked, seized and carried
off the whole party. The commander of
the Concord sent an armed force of blue
Jackets and marines to rescue them at
all hazards. Further news in regard to
the affair is anxiously awaited
THE CONCORD'S CREW
Washington, Feb. 3.-The reported
kidnapping of officers OF the United
States steamship Concord at Chin Ka-
ing, China, reached Washington at too
late an hour to permit it to be inquired
into in naval or diplomatic circles. Up
to 10 o'clock no news on the subject had
been received by any government Off
Gals. The news will create a profound
sensation tomorrow, and unless later re-
ports show that the captured officers
are at liberty other vessels will probably
be hurried to the scene. Knowing the
condition of the Chinese at the present
time, and the way in which they are
likely to deal with the prisoners. there
will be great anxiety until the safety of
the party is assured.
A court-martial will probably follow,
as the policy of this government is to
require unusual care in such cases. A
few years ago test torpedo from a
United States warship was exploded by
some Japanese who found it on the
beach One of them was killed, and,
though the Japanese government de-
clared it held the officer blameless, there
was cOurt-martial and the officer was
severely reprimanded.
The Concord is a twin-screw steel
gunboat of LILO tons displacement She
is commanded by Joseph E. Craig and
has a complement of IS officers and 1870
men. She arrived at Chin Kaing last
Friday.
The following is a list of the officers
of the Concord: Commander, Joseph f.
Craig, commanding; lieutenants: e. S.
Prime, G. A. Merriam, William S. Hogg,
w. A. Gill. The ensigns are: Marbury
Johnson, c. M. Faks and L. r. II. Ever
hart. The naval cadets are: j. B. Pot
ter, S Wells and A. M. Proctor. Sur
geon, w. e. McClurg; paymaster, II.
Smith; assistant engineer, J. b. Patten;
cadet engineer j. e. Brady.
The other ships now belonging to the
Asiatic station are the Baltimore,
Charleston, Yorktown, Detroit, Machi-
as. Petrol and Monocacy.
Rear Admiral Carter commands the
station, with the Baltimore as his flag
ship. He will undoubtedly act promptly

Nashville, Tenn, Feb. 5.-When both
houses of the general assembly today
met to open the returns of the election
for governor in November last, Senator
Butler republican, read protest from
Hon. Clay Evans, the republican claim
ant of the governorship. Mr.. Evans

any interference on the part of the joint
witnessing assembly.
The returns from 81 counties were
opened and all but 16 of them were OBJ

BANKERS STOP IN WASHINGTON.
Debating Terms TO the Cabinet on the
New Bond Issue.

Washington. Feb. 5.-The cabinet was
in session from 10 a. m. until PAS p. m.
The object of the discussion was the
impending bond issue. Several prom
inent bankers are here. among them
j. Pierpont Morgan, and while they
have not seen either the president or
Carlisle it is understood that their
views on the situation were conveyed
to the president today No authorita-
tive statement of the character of the
cabinet discussion can be made, but
il is believed that no final action has
been determined upon The purpose of
the administration, it is understood, is
to place the entire issue of bonds with
the London bankers, who would pay for
them in London gold and thus avoid
the necessity for paying out gold in ex-
change for legal tenders

CREDENTIALS OF PEACE ENJOYS.
Japan Not Satisfied That China Is Acting
in Good Faith.

London, Feb. "a dispatch to the
Times from Yokohama says the list of
credentials of the Chinese peace ENJOYS
with Japan, refused on account of the
insufiiciency of their powers was as fol-
lows: by decree we appoint you our
plenpotentiaries to meet and negotiate
matters with plenipotentiaries appoint
ed by Japan. You will, however, tele-
graph To Tsung Ii Yamen, of the Chi
nese foreign office, for the purpose of
obtaining our commands, by which you
will abide. The members of your mis-
sion are placed under your control. You
will conduct your mission in a faithful
and diligent manner and fulfill the trust
reposed in you"
y dipatch from Pekin says the capture
of Teng Chou, Wei-Hai-Wei, has made
deeper impression upon the Chinese
than the fall of Port Arthur. The dis
patch adds that the reported refusal of
Japan to treat with the Chinese ENJOYS
confirms the belief expressed in Pekin
that the Japanese are not willing to
name their terms of peace.

SILVER SENATORS FAlLsD TO ACR: E
some Believe They Should Report an
Unlimited Coinage Bil

Washington, Feb 5.-The senate
finance committee again failed to reach
any conclusion today upon the bills
before it. The vote on the substitute
for the Mcpherson bill resulted: For
MCPHERSON Morrill,, Sherman, Allison
and Aldrich. Against-Voorhees, Har-
ris, Jones Of Arkansas, Vest, White and
Jones of Nevada. A vote on the free
coinage bill was prevented by the ar
rival of the hour for the meeting of the
senate.
The silver men developed a differ
ence in their ranks on the question of
seigniorage. Senator Jones of Arkan-
sas, while expressing the conviction
that silver coinage should prevail at
the ratio of 16 to l, argued that it would
be waste of time to report a bill con-
tanning provision of this kind when
there was no possibility of it becoming
law and suggested that it would be
wiser to report a bill which would give
the government the seigniorage as pro-
vided for in his bill The other silver
senators held out for free and unlimited
coinage, and while they conceded that
no free coinage proposition was liable
to become a law this session. they said
the same objection could be urged
against any bill, and that it would be
wiser for the free coinage men to vote
for their convictions than report a
makeshift The substitute for the Nc
PhersOn BILL which was voted down.
was the proposition suggested by Sena-
tor Mcpherson providing for the issue
of short time 8 per cent. bonds to meet
the deficit in the treasury, much on the
lines of the Sherman bill

Battle Between Two Enraged
Men Near Lewiston.
SCATTERED A NEST OF THIEVES
Use of a shotgun rs Club Nay Result
ia the Death of One
OF Them.

Lewiston, Idaho, Feb. Sin the cOun-
try south of this city two men had the
most savage battle ever recorded in
this section. S. S. Leachman, a we'll
known citizen, and Dick McElroy, a
young man comparatively a stranger,
met in the road, when McElrOy chal-
lenged Leachman to fight. After the
bandying of epithets, McElroy made "a
rush for Leachman, who held in his
hands double-barreled shotgun, which
he broke over the former partys head
but as surprising as it was the blow
did not bring the man down. He
fought like beasts for an hour accord
ing to the statement of a witness. After
they had both been knocked down and
thrown down on the hard-frOzen ground
many times each, Leachman gave up
and cried enough Then his assailant
stepped back and tried to get a gun
out of the hands of Leachmans son.
but was prevented by the interference
of other bystanders, who helped the
boy to resist the efforts of his fathers
antagonist. After some 20 minutes.
during which time McElroy was very
nervous, and abusive toward Leachman
and also those who prevented further
violence, McElrOy tainted away, pre-
sumably from the effects of the terrible
blow over the head with the heavy
gun Since that time he has been UNI
conscious and the doctors say his case
is serious. Leachman is under arrest
guarded by the sheriff
