IL Falls on the Chinese City of Kin-Chau
and Russia Secures an Important Position
that Commands Korea and Manchuria.
st. Petersburg, Dec. 2S.-The Rus
slams have occupied Kin-Chau, north
of Port Arthur.
San Francisco, Dec. 28-Eli I. Shep-
ard, who has recently returned from
China, where he held an official posi-
ton, commenting upon the reported
occupation of Kin-Chau by Russia,
said yesterday:
'sKin-Chau is an important walled
city mot an open port) at the head OF
the gulf of Lau Tung, and it COM
mands the mouth of the river Yaloo,
where the great naval between the
Japanese and Chinese was fought, and
the other important rivers which flow
into the gulf. 1t is about equidistant
between the mouth of the Yaloo river
and the terminus of the great wall oi
China. 1t commands the railway sys'
tenn recently constructed from Tier
Tsin to the capital of Manchuria, and
is of pre-eminent Importance as 6
strategic point
"The seizure of the port shows thai
Russia has practically taken posses
sion of Korea, Manchuria and the gul
of Lau Tung and possesses signifi
canoe which will cause CONSERVATION
among the diplomats in the old world
| Its situation is such that its possession
practically places Russia in position
| to defy the world"

Fall River Mill Owners Refuse the Oner o1
Employees to Accept 1-2 Per Cent. Re-
duction Ill Wages.
Fall River, Mass, Dec 2S.-The
latest proposition of the operatives
and the answer of the manufacturers
have again left matters in this city in
IN uncertain condition, although by
many the outcome anticipated is an
acceptance by the operatives, at least
for the present, of the reduction. The
proposition is understood to be COM
promise between two factions in the
conference committee. one favoring an
immediate strike and the other post
ponement of all action until March.
1t differs from what the manufacturers
expected and is request that the re-
duction be halved; that is, 81 per cent.
instead of II 10 until March l, when
another conference is suggested tc
consider the questions prevailing al
that time.
The answer of the manufacturers
decided upon by the committee yester
day, is rejection of the proposition
SO that there is nothing for the op
eratives to do but accept or oppose thu
reduction. In view of this condition o
affairs it is now improbable that th'
| conference committee will make an.
recommendation to the textile unions
but will allow them to act for them
selves. The conference committee will
meet again tonight and on Thursda,
night general meetings Of the weavers
spinners and carders will be held TO
final action. The other unions vii
meet for the same purpose before tn
close of the week.

1t Is Aroused by Little Note that Minis
ter Woodford Sent to Their Omcials q
Few Days Ago.
Washington, Dec. 2s.-The officials
here are surprised at the exhibition OF
feeling at Madrid over the latest note
of Minister Woodford, delivered to the
Spanish foreign office the day before
Christmas. While the note itself will
not be made public at present, it is said
to be purely argumentative state
ment of the position taken by the Uni.
ted States and the facts set out are
substantially those SO strongly drawn
in the presidents message to congress
The most forcible statement in the
note is based upon the facts published
recently by the United States treasury
department exhibiting the great ex-
pense to which the United States has
been put by reason of its efforts to pa
troll an enormous coast line in the pur-
suit of few flibusters, and the re-
markable success Of the government
| officials. in stopping these expeditions,
as contrasted with the feeble efforts oi
the Spanish authorities to maintain a
| patrol around Cuba.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

The bill recently passed by the
French chamber of deputies increasing
the duties on hogs, hog products, lard,
ETC., is regarded in Washington as re-
taliatory in effect against the United
States
1t is said the reciprocity negotiations
between the United States and Ger
many are practically suspended. They
never got beyond the initial stage.
A dispatch from Rome says that at a
meeting of the Italian cabinet on the
23dit was decided to send squadron
to Chinese waters.
In the island Of Crete there has been
renewal of conflicts between the
Mussulmans and Christians. The
former attacked caravan and killed
IS Christians.
The Bengal chamber of commerce
has sent an address to the Indian gov
ernment in which it says that the time
has arrived to adopt the gold standard.
At the request of Great Britain the
Canadian government has ordered the
confiscation of seditious publications.
This is due to desire to prevent the
Canadian independent movement from
stimulating disaffection in India and
to suppress all discussion relative to
annexation to the United States.

Miners and Their Employers VIII Hold
One In Chicago ON January II to FIX
Wage Scale.
Columbus, o., Dec. 2a.--The execu'
tive committee of the United Mine
Workers of America and coal operators
from Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois met here Monday to adjust
wages until an interstate convention
of miners and operators can be held.
1t was decided to hold q joint confer
ence in Chicago January II, following
the national miners convention in this
city.
While neither the operators nor the
miners will say positively that an in
ter-state wage agreement will be made
at that time, they are all hopeful that
the meeting will result in an amicable
ad justment of the wage scale for the
ensuing year. In the meantime the
present conditions will remain undis-
turbed. The miners will decide at
their national convention upon the de-
mands to be made at the conference.
An advance of probably not less than
ten cents per ton in the price OF min
| ing will be asked.

1t Blocks the Canyon Walls of the Yukon
and Bars the Route of Relief Expedi'
tions.
Seattle, Wash. Dec. 2S.-Among the
passengers on the steamer Rosalie,
which has arrived here from Skaguay
and Dyea, Alaska, were six men who
recently left Dawson City, bringing
advices up to November 2. The men
are Frank Ballaine, John Lindsay,
Tom Storey, R. G. Wynn, W. B. Bing
and p. ]. Pollard. Conflicting state
ments as to the food situation in Daw'
son were made by these men. Lindsay
asserts that want already exists at
Dawson and that unless food is taken
into the camp from the coast men Will
suffer from hunger Ballaine, Wynn
and Holland say there is more alarm
outside concerning the Dawson people
than is felt by the residents OF that
place.
Between Pelly river and Dyea the
party passed many places where snow
and icebound Klondikers have camped
for the winter. Many of them were
well equipped with provisions and by
paying 50 per pound it was possible foi
them to procure -four and other neces
saries.
From Five Fingers the Yukon is
frozen mass of ice boulders running al
high as 12 feet, blocking the canyon
from wall to wall and making trave
difficult This, it is asserted, will hav'
to be cut through by any relief expedi
tion that expects to reach Dawson
| from the coast

Two Men Kined in a Mine Shaft.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Dec. 2a John Ag-
new and Thomas Kennedy met hor-
rible death in the Alden shaft yester-
day. They had been sent down the
shaft to cut the ice which prevented
the carriage from running. They cut
away the ice until the car had de-
scended 200 feet, when 1t stuck. The
men could not signar the engineer and
the rope continued to coil on top Of the
bonnet of the car until its weight
forced the carriage beyond the ice for
nation. The car descended swiftly
until the rope broke, when it fell 45o
feet The men were dashed to ,ieces.

THE DuRRANT CASE.

One of the Jurymen Charged with Having
Made Use of Information Not Presented
at the Trial.
San Francisco, Dec. 27.-The long
promised sensation in the Durrant case
has developed. w. A. Durrant, father
of the murderer, has presented an afti'
davit to Superior Judge Sewell, charg-
in Juror Smith with having knowingly
used certain information not presented
at the trial of Theodore Durrant in de-
Gliding the merits of the case in his
(Smith's) mind. Durrant, senior, says
that Smith talked of the case to repu-
table persons before the trial was con-
cluded; that Smith told these persons
that Theodore Durrant had been on
terms of criminal intimacy with near
relatives; that Juror Smith had inti-
mated that Durrant, senior, knew
of these relations and that Smith had
made up his mind as to the defendants
guilt before the trial was half con-
cluded,

the Newell Gold Mining Co. and Ber-
ners Bay Mining and Milling Co. have
passed into the hands of receiver.
The receiver is E. F. Cassel, of Juneau,

manager of the companies, which have

lass island and 100 acres of placer
mines in the Silver Bow basin. The
heaviest stockholders in the company
are eastern men. No estimate of liza
bilities and assets has been made yet.

A DOUBLE CRIME.
An Aged Couple Shot to Death
by an Unknown Assassin.
Their MutIlated Bodies Discovered BY
Son Who stopped at the House to
Pay a Christmas CRll-Robbery
Not the Motive for the
Crime.

Indiana, Pa, Dec. 27.-Milton Neal
and his aged wife were shot to death
by an unknown assassin at their home
near jacksonville, nine miles south
west of here, some time during Christ
mas. Their bodies were found at .
o'clock that night by their son Harry,
who was passing the house and stopped
to pay Christmas call on his parents.
Neal was one of the most prominent
and prosperous farmers of the vicinity
in which he lived.
When young Neal tried to enter his
parents home, he found the doors
locked. He forced his way in through
the cellar and on entering the sitting
room horrible sight met him. On a
chair near the window lay the form OF
his mother, her face entirely blown
away. At her feet was all that re-
NAMED of her husband, and CHASTITY
hole in the side of his head told the
tale of his murder. At his side'lay 9
double-barreled shotgun, the imple
ment of death.
For time there was a suspicion o.
suicide but as the facts in the case de
veloped, the murder theory gainec
strength. The woman was killed will
birdshot, the husband with buckshot
There was no marks of powder on hi
face, something which, it is said, !
would have been impossible to avoi'

shotgun. There is nothing to indicat

1AE ElRsr RESPONSE.

IL Comes to President McKiniey's appear
for Starving Cubans-A Cash Donation
of $4,000.
Washington, Dec. 2S The most pro-
found distress prevails among thou
sands of people in Cuba, Starvation
not only impends, but is an actual fact
The president has gone to the length
of his constitutional power in calling
the state of affairs to the attention OF
the American people. The state de-
partment has used all of its authority
to mitigate the conditions there and
the letter to the public sent out by
Secretary Sherman the day before
Christmas pointed out the way to fur-
ther alleviate the miserable condition
of the reconcentrados. Yesterday the
sum of $5, 900 was received by Assistant
Secretary Day from certain charitaoly
disposed persons whose names are not
disclosed and this sum will be remitted
by telegraph to-day to Consul General
Lee for disbursement among the most
pressing cases.
1t is hoped by the department OF
state that the American people will
promptly come to the relief by sub
scriptions of money, clothing and sup
plies of various kinds The newspa-
pers are expected to lend a generous
aid in carrying forward this movement
The machinery for distribution has
been provided by the state department
and Consul General Lee has undertake
en-, with the aid of the American con-
sular officers in Cuba, to give personal
attention to the alienation of distress
by the distribution Of the gifts OF the
American people One line OF steam
ers plying between New York and Ha-
vana, the Ward line, it is said, has un'
dertaken to forward any contributions
of goods to Mr. Lee at Havana, and il
is believed that the American railroads
will do their part by carrying the goods
to the seashore. The Spanish authori
ties have consented to remit all duties
on relief supplies SO forwarded. Th'
state department directs that they b'
sent direct to Gen. Lee, either money
by draft, check, or goods.
Gen. Lee last night cabled the stat
department just what is wanting a
this iuncture and his list is as follows
I Summer clothing, secondhand o
= otherwise principally for women an
: children; medicine for fevers, includ
