A Jail-Made Guitar.

Simon Cannon, negro in jail at Rus
sellville, KY, has always been OF mu-
steal turn of mind, but when he was
cast in The county bastile he found him
self without his favorite guitar or any
money to buy an instrument with.
Nothing daunted, the ingenious darkey
determined to try his hand at making
something to play on" as he expressed
it. He took the tin pan in which his
daily meal was brought and made the
head of the banjo. A rough piece Of
poplar, smoothed with an old broken
hladed Barlow knife, was made into the
neck and screws. He took IL cents he
had and bought strings. and the odd
looking banjo was ready for the music
loving Simon. Jailer Morris says the
Jail bird can make the sweetest Of mu-

TROUBLES IN CHINA.
Conspiracy to Bring About a Re-
beIIiou

LONDON, March ia special dis
patch from Shanghai received here
to-day says a conspiracy with the OBJ
jeet of bringing about rebellion has
been started by Chinese officials Of
the various ranks in the Chang Sha,
province OF Human. 1t is said to have
spread to all the provinces bordering
on the Yang Use Kiang, and fears are
expressed that it may prove to be the
most formidable since the TAPPING re-
bellion.
It is professedly a patriotic move
ment to overthrow the Manchu dynas-
ty and save the central provinces from
European control. But it is suspected
that the plot emanated from the Man
darins, who are alarmed at the prospect
of diversion of part of their pickings
to pay the interest on the new loan.
The Pekin authorities are cognizant
of the movement, but, distrusting the
loyalty of the provincial troops, they
are helpless.
The conspiratOrs are said to have
approached British subjects with in
ducements to join the rebellion. and
they have also offered large sums of
money for arms
LONDON, March 19-There was an
important Cabinet conference this
morning in continuation of yesterdays
discussion of the Chinese question. 1t
is reported that Great Britain requests
Russia to give guarantees that the
warships of the world viii be admitted
free of duty into Port Arthur Great
Britain in this matter is ostensibly
acting at the instance of China.

MORE RECKLESS DRIVING.
A Cart Shaft Buried in Cab
Horse Last Night.

BY the reckless driving of an unknown
man last night Captain Bradley of the
GUrney Cab Company will lose one OF
his best horses
1t was at a rather late hour that the
collision occurred. A driver of one CT
the cabs was coming down K street,
near Nineteenth. when he encountered
two men in carts going out that street
and driving for all that was in them.
One was in the middle of the street and
the other on the north or left-hand side,
and therefore out of his proper place
They We're apparently racing.
The cab was on the north side coming
west, and when the driver saw there
was danger of a collision he pulled Ills
team in toward the sidewalk, but that
did not prevent it. The man in the
cart came on at break-neck speed and
dashed against the claimants team. one
of the cart shafts struck the nigh horse
between the ribs and was buried deep
in its body behind the shoulder.
The fellow in the cart backed away
and when the shaft had been withdrawn
he drove off as fast as possible, never
stopping to inquire to what extent the
cab horse was injured. The horse was
driven slowly down town with a stream
of blood pouring from the hole in its
side
1t was ascertained that the shaft
pierced the horses lungs. and Captain
Bradley did not expect the poor crea-
ture to survive many hours.
If the reckless rascal who was resDon-
sible for the collision can be found he
should receive the full extent OF the
laws penalty. There is too much rech-
less driving in the streets. and an cx-
ample should be made of the first man
who violates the law in that respect.

THE CHINESE LOAN.
France end Russia Trying Their
Best to Wreck 1t.

PEKIN, March 19-The recent in
activity of the Russians at Pekin is
explained by the fact that the negotia-
tiOns have again been transferred to
st. Petersburg, owing TO the difficulties
encountered here.
The coincidence of the French de-
mands presented on the eve of ennis
sion of the Chinese loan in London is
commented upon, and it is asserted
that France and Russia are trying
their best to wreck the loan. Upon the
occasion of the last visit of the French
ambassador to the Chinese Foreign
Office the Chinese refused to accede to
the French proposals, and the Embas-
sador said that when he next visited
the Foreign Office he would present
stronger arguments, and would even
threaten active operations from Tong
King and the forcible seizure of a coal
ing station
The general opinion here is that it
is impossible to disregard the persist
ent rumors circulating in well-in-
formed circles that Russia has aban-
doned her attempts to lease Port Ar
thur, but has not ceased her negotia-
tiOnS regarding Talien Wan
