CHANCES For TRADE WITH CHINA.
Opening for Manufacturers of Many
Kinds of Machinery.


Kinds of Machinery.
WASHINGTON. April 10.-Many opportu-
mites for American manufacturers to sell
machinery and other wares in China are
pointed out from time to time by the United
States consuls in their reports to the State
department These are signs Of the great
industrial revolution that has overtaken the
Celestial empire as a result of it's awakening
by the Japanese war. In a report just
ceived Sheridan Read, consul at Tien Tsin,
tells of his visit to Tong Shan, eighty miles
from Tien Tsin, where the Chinese have
600 men, and are building the rolling stock
for the Ten Tsin railroad extension. Only
axles, wheels, springs and couplers are i'm
ported. The consul says he was surprised
at the excellence of finish of the new pas
senger cars. He advises American manu-
factUrers to send catalogues and price lists
to the engneer-in-chief Of the imperial rail-
ways at Tong Shan. Makers Of planning and
sawmill machinery should be especially on
the qui vive, he says, for this trade. At
the same place the Chinese Engineering and
Mining company is taking out 1000 tons of
coal daily, and, as extensive enlargements
Of the plant are to be made, there is an
other opportunity for American manufactur-
ers of mining machinery to place their goods.
Mr.. Read further gives notice that as the
result of several big fires the Tien Tsin
authorities are considering the question of
procuring fire engines for the British con-
ceasion and American price lists might be
of service,

Democratic Members of the House
Hold Il Caucus.
WASHINGTON, April 10.-The differences
Of opinion among the democratic members
of the house upon the policy to be pursued
by the minority induced the democrats to
hold caucus. The call came from the fac
tion which had opposed the candidacy of Mr.
Bailey of Texas for the speakership, but the
caucus resulted in the adoption of the fol-
lowing resolution, offered by Mr. Bailey
which embodied the policy voiced by him in
his speech in the democratic caucus at the
beginning of the session.
Resolved, That the democratic members
of the house of representatives are willing
to consider any legislation which the re-
publicans may propose, to support II If it
is good, to oppose 1t If bad, but. believing
that most of the measures proposed by the
republicans are opposed to the best inter-
csts OF the country, they will not urge the
republicans to take action.
substitute for this resolution was pro-
posed by Mr. Handy Of Delaware, declaring
the democrats to be opposed to the repub-
llcan policy of inaction; but the Bailey reso-
luton was adopted by vote of about two to
one.

OPENING UTE LANDS TO SETTLERS.
Secretary of the Interior Takes the
Preliminary Stems

Preliminary Steps.
WASHINGTON, April 1O.-The allotted
lands of the eastern and of the southern Ute
Indian reservations in northwest Colorado
probably will be opened to settlement this
summer by presidential proclamation.
Though allotments have been completed
the question of opening has been deferred
for a long time, owing to what seems to be
conceded to be grave error in fixing the
l07th meridian OF longitude Secretary Bliss
has now taken action and has ordered the
director of the geological survey to deter
mine by astronomical observation as soon
as the season permits the correct location
Of the meridian. This work will not require
much time, and though the date has not yet
been considered 1t is probable the opening
will be fixed upon Immediately after the
submission of the directors report. It Is
believed by the authorities that the meridian
has been marked five miles too far west
and the variance of lines involves about
As 900 acres which may inure to the benefit
OF the Indians. The meridian probably will
be established late in May.

DOOMED TO HANG AT NEW
POET TODAY.
SENSATIONAL ALLEGED CONFESSION.
The Doomed Men Say Dr. Wagner Was
the Real Murderer in Attempting to
Perform an Abortion-Their
Story of the Crime.

Frankfort, Ky, March 19--fn his
statement refusing to interfere in the
Jackson-Walling case, Governor w. o.
Bradley says in part:
"The common law concerning the crime
admitted in the confession to have been
committed, is in force in this state The
confession shows that Pearl Bryan was
killed by drugs administered to produce
an abortion. If this be true, she being
quick with child, as shown by the evil
dence, the child was killed also. Her
death was caused by drugs deliberately
administered, the effect of which clearly
manifests an utter disregard for human
life. The confessions, however, are in
consistent and contradictory and utterly
at variance with every statement that
each ofsthem made on the witness stand.
1t is urged that this should be over
looked because they were then suing for
their lives. If contradictory statements
were made to escape the danger pend
ing, it may be asked how much greater
is the danger hanging about them, as
they stand in the shadow of the gallows
| If they were excusable for swearing
falsely then. how much more are they
excusable and likely to swear falsely
now? 1t is undoubted these men have
trifed with the courts, trifed with nature
and set at defiance the laws Of God and
man. 1t may be asked how, after such
n crime, they can hope to obtain a respite
by Il pretended confession. Respite re-
fused.
