CONDITIONS OF CHINA's LOAN.
England Will Advance S6O.OOO.OOO
With Certain Safeguards.

! London. Jan. lS.--The Pekin correspon-
dent of the Times says:
! Yesterday Sunday Sir Charles Claude
! Macdonald British ambassador to China.
in the course of an interview With the
/ Tsung Ii Iamen (board OF foreign con-
troD. stated that England was willing to
assist China to liquidate the japanese in
demnity and would provide loan of fl2 :
OOO,oO0 at par. to run for 80 years, the in-
terest to be 4 per cent net, including sink
ING fund. The conditions are as follows:
First: The opening of the three treaty
ports, the Talien Wan, Siang-ln and Nam
Ming, thereby increasing the customs rev
enues Second: A declaration that no
portion of the Yang Use Kiang valley shall
be ceded to any other power. Third: The
right to extend the Burmah railway
through Human province (the most south
western part OF China).
In the event of her default China is to
place certain revenues under the control
of the imperial customs On this basis the
negotiations will proceed. China regards
them as advantageous, but fears the
threatened opposition of France and Rus
sia, and especially to the opening of Ia
lienWan and Manning.
The Times commenting on the report
suggests that Siang-In, which the CORE
spondent describes as in Human, is tele
graphic error and means either Slang
Yang. in Hu-Poi province, or Slang Tang.

ADVERSE TO CORBETT.
Senate Committee Follow Precedent
in the Mantle Case.

Washington, Jan. l5.-The senate COM
mittee on privileges and elections has de-
cided to make an adverse report on III. w.
Corbett's claim to a seat in the senate
from Oregon. The vote was to 3, on
(rep.), who was absent. was counted upon
his authority, in oposition to Corbett.
There were two votes, the first being
upon the motion to declare Mr.. Corbeit
entitled to his seat, which was supported
bv NIessrs Chandler, Hoar and Pritchard
(rcp.), and opposed by AIessrs. Gallery
and Pettus (dem.), Allen (pop.), and Bur
rows (rep,) of Michigan. Senator Spooner
was puaired with Senator Turpie, the for
mer for and the latter against the motion.
The motion was then made to declare
Mr. Corbett not entitled to his seat, and
was carried by the above vote reversed.
The voting was preceded by quite gen
eral discussion, based upon the report pre-
pared by Senator Pettus on behalf Of the
OPPOSITION. This report took the position
that the question involved is practically
the same as that involved in the Mantle
case, and this case should be allowed to
stand as precedent. Senator Pettus made
an argument in favor Of establishing a
principle of action in such cases and al
lowing it to stand, taking the position
that there was danger in not taking the
same course every time the political com
plexion of the senate changes.

FIRE PANIC IN A THEATER.
Butte Audience Started u Rush for
the Doors.

Butte, Jan. ia fire. supposed to be
of incendiary origin, broke out in the Bos
ton dry goods store, in the Odd Fellows
building, on Broadway, adjoining the Ma
guire opera house. about 8 o'clock last
night.
Before the fire was eNtineuished the
stock was practically a total loss. 1t was
insured for $4,000. which is believed to
be the full value. The dense smoke pen
etrated to the upper part of the building.
where Thomas Steet, a palalytic, and his
family, lived. They were rescued with diff
ficulty.
Smoke also penetrated to the opera
house. where SUnder the Dome was be-
ing given. AS Manager Hagan started for
the stage to advise the audience to with
draw quietly, some one rushed into the
gallery and gave an alarm. There was a
rush for the doors aud some women faint
ed and were slightly trampled. No one
was seriously hurt. The attaches of the
theater acted with great coolness, and
this probably prevented a more serious
disaster. The play was not ended.

Champion of Hawaii.

In closing his speech in favor of Ha
waiian annexation Wednesday Senator
Davis presented the strategic features of
the question. He displayed a chart in
front of the presiding officers platform
showing the location of Hawaii relative
to this country and to Asia One of the
points brought out with considerable elab-
grafton was the probable effect on the Mic
aragllan canal or the occupation OF the
islands by some foreign power. He Illus
trated by reference to the map, show
ing that Hawaii was on a straight line be-
tween the western terminus of the Mic
arag,an canal and Japan and China The
nation, he said. which controls Hawaii
will control that great gateway of COM
merce. The guns planted on Hawaii would
be pointed directly at the mouth Of the
canal He also devoted careful attention
to the Importance of controlling Pearl har-
Dor. now owned by the United States, say
ing that the nation which maintained pos
session of the harbor would hold the key
to the military situation in the north Pa
cific. There was apparent disposition on
the part of some senators, who announce
themselves undecided as to what course
to pursue on the Hawaiian question to mix
it with the Cuban problem. They are
/ friends of Cuba. and their desire is to have
the administration take more pronounc
ed position in the interests of Cuba as
return for their assistance on the Ha
waiian treaty.
There was a lively debate in the house
over the provision in bill requiring the
owners of bullion hereafter to pay the
cost of transporting bullion from assay
offices to the mints. Mr.. Bell of Colorado
argued that if the government declined t'
pay the cost Of transportation of the golt
it would 90 to foreign mints. 1t was, hi
said. another blow aimed at the western
miner. There was no security for th'
gold production of the country now tina
it had had in the past. The motion t.
strike out the proviso was defeated.

DISCOVERS A NEW METAL.
Unknown Substance Found in II Lot
of Pig Iron.

New York, Jan. l3.-The Herald says
that Thomas A. Edison has accidently
discovered what he believes to be new
metal which will do away with the slow
and costly process of making mallea Die
iron. Exhaustive experiments Will be
made and if they are successful 1t IS prom
ised full details will be given to the pub
lie. 1t is claimed that after a lot OF iron
had been run through a magnetic ore sep
arating mill, pigs were taken from the
blast furnace as usual to be cooled and
broken up. The lot in question proved
refractory, for the pigs resisted all efforts
of the men with heavy sledges to break
them, The fact was submitted to chemists
and the theory was formed that there
was some hitherto unknown substance in
the iron used and this is believed to be a
new metal.
