CHINA CANNOT
 RAISE LOANS Russia Will Make Her Decline the British
 Proposals.
And England Will Prevent the Czar From Aiding the
 Troubled Empire.
Meanwhile an Imperial Decree Authorizes the Issuance of
 Five Per Cent Bonds
Special Dispatch to The Call.

LONDON, Feb. 1.-The Picking corre- spondent of the Times, telegraphing yesterday, says: I have reasons to be- lieve that China will be induced to de- cline the British proposals in conse- quence of Russia's opposition, and sim ilarly that she will be unable to accept the Russian proposals owing to Eng lands opposition. The country is help less and unable to pay the indemnity except by installments; but. China nurses the hope that Japan will agree to an extension of time.
 Meanwhile, an imperial decree au- thorizes an issue of treasury bonds at per cent to the amount of one hundred million taels (about SIS, ,000,000). It ap- peals to the officials, the gentry and merchants to assist the issue in the re- mote possibility of raising enough to meet the installment due next May.
 The method proposed increases the growing distrust in the Government Similar bonds issued at the time of the war of 1859 were repudiated in 1862. The unsatisfactory and evasive nature ol the royal edict exacted by Germany ir condemnation of the Shan-Tung mur- ders affords Germany the desired pre- text for remaining in military occupa- tion of the territory, including the towr of kioachau, beyond the area leased China still maintains that the murder of the German sailor was justifiablt homicide and due to the sailors miS conduct, but she Is powerlesS to refuse Germany'S eXactiOnS.

 HIS PRISONERS Two Culprits Make a Murder ous Attack Upon a
 Jailer. With the Assistance of Trusty He Succeeds in Preventing
 an Escape.
speclal pIspatch to The call

Special Dispatch to The Call.
 OROVILLE, Feb. 1.-Two prisoners in the local prison made desperate attempt to escape last night, and in the attendant struggle one of them struck Jailer John Boyles on the head with bludgeon. Boyles at 7:45 o'clock entered the depart ment where John Valllere and Fred Car rity were confined. Valliere had made a sandbag by saving all the salt he could obtain, wetting 1t so as to make 1t hard as a rock He tied a string around the stocking and lay in wait for the jailer.
 When Boyles entered Valliere struck him a terrific blow across the face and knocked him down. Luckily the blow was across the cheek instead of on the tenn pie, so Boyles was not badly injured. He was then attacked by Valliere and Gar rity and would have fared badly had not a trusty rushed to his assistance and succeeded in pulling off one of his oppo- nents. Boyles had a severe struggle be- fore he could overpower Valliere, who struck at him number of times with the sandbag. The jailer used a heavy umbrella handle with such effect as to floor the convict finally and he then put him In irons.
 Vallere had recently been convicted of burglary, and will be sentenced to State prison tomorrow.

Penalty Imposed Upon the Barton Estate
 Vineyard.
Found Guilty Of Having Vio- lated Laws Governing
 Distilling.
Ordered to Pay Over Fifteen Thou sand Dollars Into the Govern
 rnent Golfers.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

FRESNO, Feb "A sensation has just come to light in connection with the Barton estate vineyard, one of the largest in the county. It has become known that the vineyard has been very heavily assessed by the United States Government for irregularities in the matter of distilling, the penalty fixed being the unusually heavy fine of $15,- 24O. The report upon which the big as sessment was based was made by Rev enue Agent B. M Thomas, who visited the vineyard last November in com pany with Al Griffin, the local revenue officer. In addition to the heavy pen alty imposed on the owners of the prop erty, the United States Gauger sta tioned there, MT. Lampkin, was sus- pended, and about a week ago he re- ceived word of his dismissal from the service.
 Revenue Agent Thomas received in formation that the vineyard was not being conducted in conformity with the United States revenue regulations, and last November he and Griffith made an inspection. They verified the report by questioning the gauger and Colonel Trevelyan, the manager of the place. The still was not surveyed accurately, and 1t produced more than 1t was gauged to do in a given time. In order to make the still appear to produce the proper amount the books were doc tored, false entries being made of the number of days in which it was run, a greater number of days being marked in the books of the gauger than the still was actually in operation. When Ques- toned in regard to doctoring the books, Gauger Lampkin admitted it, but when Colonel Treyelyan was asked in refer ence to the days in which the still was operated he declared that 1t was run on all the days that the books showed it to have run.
 The revenue agent made his report to the commissioner at Washington, who fixed the amount of the penalty at the heavy figure stated. The news of the action of the commissioner was soon whispered about among the vineyard ists and wine-makers and it created a big sensation, as the fine is regarded as particularly heavy, and, if it is col lected, it will seriously cripple the es- tate.
 Ex-Deputy Collector of Internal Rev enue Youngberg arrived here to-day from San Francisco, and has been re- tained by the Barton estate to en- deavor to procure reduction of the .as- sessment or an abatement. He in quired into the facts and will present a petition to the commissioner at Wash ington, asking for an abatement. It is believed here, however, that it will be extremely difficult to prevail upon the commissioner to even reduce the pen atty.

NEW FAST TRAINS
 MAKE GOOD RUNS
Union Pacific Specials Enter Chicago and Denver Ahead of Schedule
 Time.

DENVER, Feb. 7.-The Colorado spe- cial, the new fast train of the Union Pacific and Northwestern line, pulled into the Union station here to-day at 1:20, ten minutes ahead of scheduled time, having accomplished the run from Chicago, 1862 miles, in twenty eight and one-half hours. A large crowd was present at the station to greet this innovation in rapid train service The efficiency of the new ser vice had been conclusively proven, and its success seems only a matter of time enough for patrons to accustom them selves to the new schedule.
 The run from Omaha to Denver was enlivened by an exciting race between the Chicago, Burlington, and Quincy, which left Chicago Simultaneously with the Northwestern. The latter. reached the switch a few minutes ahead of the Bur lington. General Manager Edward Dick Alfred Darlow and other officials of the Union Pacific boarded the special at Omaha and made the run into Denver.
 CHICAGO, Feb. 1.-The Chicago Spe- cial," the new fast train from Denver, over the Union Pacific, Denver and Gulf, the Union Pacific and the Chicago and Northwestern railways, finished its hrst trip two minutes ahead of schedule time. When it pulled into the Northwestern station at 8:43 this evening all the engines in the yard footed loud greeting; The run of 1862 miles from Denver to Chicago was made In twenty eight hours and thir- teen minutes, and officials of the three lines over which the train is routed, say the running time can be cut from one to two hours if desired. No serious hitch occurred anywhere on the road during the first run, but at several points. the train was detained from ten to fifteen minutes. and while the time thus lost was being made up it ran in some places faster than a mile a minute: The run Of 4so miles from Council Bluffs to Chicago, over the Northwestern's fine roadway, protected by block signals, was made in thirteen hours and eighteen minutes.

NO ONE SPOKE
 FOR ANNEXATION.
But MT. Shearman and Dr. Abbott Told of the Great Wrong
 Contemplated.

NEW YORK, Feb. 7.-Of nearly five hundred persons assembled in Ply mouth Church lecture room tonight not one arose to voice opposition to the statements of Thomas G. Shearman, we'll known in Brooklyn, and Dr. Ly- man Abbott, that to annex Hawaii to the United States would, be a great wrong. The meeting had been called for the purpose of discussing Our Duty as Christian Nation Toward Hawaii"
 It was to have been free discussion, but as nobody took issue with MT. Shearman, who was the first speaker, Dr. Abbott, who was to have rendered a judicial decision, merely closed the proceedings with his opinion. MT. Shearman referred first to the settle ment of American missionaries and their families in Hawaii, and said that eventually the children of the mission aries acquired most of the wealth of the islands.
 1T don't object to their getting wealth." said MT. Shearman, but they were wrong to plan 1t so that the United States was made to start the revolution"
 MT. Shearman spoke of the concen- tratfOn or wealth ana capital, ana what it might do if wrongfully inclined. He said there were corrupt men and bodies in this country who are not satisfied with a republic, they cor rupted legislatures and bought Sena- tors.
 These men are looking for man on horseback" he said, and they expect him to come some day and they will own him. They want to take away our liberties and establish an empire
 Dr. Abbott said he disagreed with MT. Shearman as to the wrong of the revolution, but he agreed with him as to the wrong of annexing the islands.
 T do not think we ought to annex them," he said. They seem able to properly govern themselves. We don't want to say to these 34,000 people that they must be forced into our union Our country is quite large enough and all that we can take care of. It is not wise to increase our population, but il is to make 1t stronger"

DECLARED NOT TRUE.

The Report That Rev. Mir Bispham
 Has Resigned as Curate.
 It is stated upon authority of enc ot the most prominent members of Trinity parish, that the reports current to the effect that the Rev. MT. Bispham, had resigned as second curate of the parish, are entirely groundless. They have doubtless arisen from the fact that as Mr. Bispham was installed by the Rev Dr. Dauglas, who has recently tendered his resignation as rector of the parish, he felt it incumbent upon him to resign. MT. Bispham is at present in Washing ton, D. C., where he went before the letter containing Rev. pr. Douglas tender of resignation was sent to the church clerk He went for the express purpose of paying a visit to his father in-law, Captain Casey, of the United States Navy, previous to the latter's departure on board one of the man-of- wars. Mrs. Bispham and children have been in Washington for several weeks past. Rev. Bispham will return to New Haven, Saturday night of this week
