MONEY ES WANTED BY CHINESE STATESMEN
 FROM THE ENGLISH,
# Begins to Look as Though the Situation in the Edst Would Turn Upon the Com
 n1ercinf Pivot

LONDON, Jan. 4-The Evening News says it is reported in the city that the negotiations for a Chinese loan of a16,OO0,000, guaranteed by the British Government, are practically concluded.
 The Cologne Gazette on authority from the best-informed quarters in Paris, announces to-day that since Thursday last important negotiations have been proceeding in London for a Chinese loan, the attempts made in Paris and St. Petersburg to arrange for 1t having failed. China has offered to contract for 916,0Oo, 900 in London. at the same time asking the good offices of the British Government
 China, it appears, contemplates offer ing as security the land tax, under the control of Englishmen. and agrees fur thermore, that an Englishman shall succeed Sir Robert Hart as director of the Chinese Imperial Maritime Gus toms. In addition, Great Britain will insist upon concession of territory, relative to which secrecy, according to the informant of the Cologne Gazette, must be temporarily observed.
 The Cologne Gazette adds that it is

 "I will say further, that for many years past the relations between Mir. Griffith's family and MT. Chapman and myself and our families have been of very cordial character and that Mir. Chapman and myself have been very warm political as well as personal friends of MT. Griffith. and if any in dignity had been offered to Mrs. Grif filth by any person while she was in our presence, we would have resented it. It is not reasonable to suppose that Senator Hanna or any of his friends would offer any indignity to any lady, especially the wife of a mem Der who had promised to vote for MT.

DREYFUS cHAMPi0HED BY
 GENERAL ". s. R0SEcRANS.
American Veteran Of the Opinion That tbe Frencbm0n Should Be Given
 Rehenri1o

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 4.-General w. s. Rosecrans is strong champion of Captain Emil F. Dreyfus, the French officer who is serving a life sentence on LIsle du Diable for revealing French military secrets to the Ger mans In response to request Gen eral Rosecrans has written the follow ing as his views of the case:
 The case of Captain Dreyfus is one that appeals to the sympathy of every true American. rehearing of the case under impartial influences would cer- tainly do no harm, were he guilty or in- nocent. If guilty, a second conviction would accentuate the majesty of the law more forcibly. If innocent. a great in- justice would be at least partially atoned be restored to the service of his beloved country and his many friends and sym pathizers throughout the world would re- joice in his vindication.
 His gallant and patriotic conduct when his sword and insignia of rank were torn from him, when his sentence of dismissal from the army was being carried out. his devotion to his country, manifested by his cheers and the cry of "Vive Ia France" in the midst of this scene of ob- loquy and degradation, appeal to every loyal soldier and certainly do not bear the marks of treason to his country If guilty. would he not have cursed those who were thus heaping disgrace upon him?
 In the interest of truth and justice I heartily second the efforts made in the work of obtaining a rehearing of the case of this unfortunate officer.

the organization of the House, stated to-day that they would vote for Sena-
 tor Hanna, This gives Hanna fifty four in the House and seventeen in the Senate-a total of seventy-one. or two
 short of the necessary majority.
 Droste of Hamilton. who voted for Boxwell for Speaker, announced at the
 time that he would support Jeptha Gerard. silver Republican, for Sena-
 tor, so that the net gain for Hanna to
 date over the vote on the organiZa-
 tion Is only one. The Hanna men say they expect to get the votes of Scott of Fuller and Rutan of Carroll. who were
 instructed for Hanna and voted for
 the combine" on organization.
 The doubtful members are being of fered their choice of chairmanShipS and given the opportunity to make all other
 selections they want. The power of
 the organization of the House is cer-
 tainly being used to the greatest pos sible advantage, and its influence is not
 to be underestimated in connection
 with the support of the State adminis-
 tration. While Mir. Kurtz and his as- sociates will make no statements, yet
 they are holding back the appointments
 on the committees and other patronage
 in anticipation of gaining several votes on the Senatorial ballot.
 In holding their men in line the
 combine" is having trouble with some
 of the siXty-five Democratic members.
 It is believed that Mayor McKisson will give way to MT. Kurtz for the short
 term for Senator, while Governor Bush nell has all along been regarded as the candidate for the long term.
 Letters and telegrams poured in to- 1 day on Governor Bushnell, the dissent | ing Republican members and others, protesting against the action of the Republicans who are cooperating with | the Democrats. In reply, those about | the headquarters in the Great South ern Hotel revived the talk of the Amer | ican Protective Association, the work l ingmen and others being opposed to | Senator Hanna.
 | The announcement to-day by the | Republicans that they would have no | joint Senatorial caucus tomorrow night or at any time previous to the | balloting for Senator will compel all to continue in this guerrilla warfare for another week, but with the result de- pending on the action of two or three | doubtful members neither side could | show it's hand without exposing the | recruits or the deserters to terrific fire | for at least week. It was expected | by the public that there would be de- | cisive results at the caucuSeS to-mor-
 row, but there will be no caucuses, and the steering committees will try to

NEW YORK. Jan. 4.-The Herald's Washington correspondent sends the following: Strong pressure is being brought to bear upon the Adnlinistra- sion for some official declarations showing that the United States does not view with unconcern the move ment of the powers in China, and that any occupation of the territory in Yio- lation of the favored nation clause in our treaties will meet with an earnest protest from this country It is the opinion of a number of Senators who have recently talked with the Presi- dent on the subject that the powers at present are playing their cards for Chi nese commerce rather than for Chi nese territory, and that 1t is the duty of the Administration to see that noth- ing is done inimical to our interest in this respect.
 Ii Hung Chang's appeal was touched upon at the Cabinet to-day, and will come up again at the next meeting, when something definite may be de- cided upon as to the attitude of the United States.
 Wu Ting Fang, Chinese Minister to the United States, says that just as soon as China can raise the necessary funds she proposes to commence the execution of a shipbuilding programme which will place her navy in a better position than it was before the Japan ese war. His Government now has five cruisers and torpedo boats under con- struction in Germany According to ad- vices received China contemplated the construction of six large battle-ships, twelve armored cruisers, twenty second and third-class cruisers, several 32- knot torpedo-destroyer and a number of torpedo-boats. It is understood at the Navy Department that this pro- gramme cannot be placed in effect for some time, as China is without suffi- cient money to pay for the ships.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Jan. 4-After about three months inactivity Kansas City's train robbers scored another brilliant achievement tonight. This time the Kansas City. Pittsburg and Gulf road is the sufferer. The com pany's Port Arthur express. which left the company's depot here at $40 to- night, was robbed before it had pessed beyond the city limits.
 Two men, whom no one but the ex- press messenger seems to have seen. climbed into the eXpress-car as the train left the depot. They overpowered the messenger, bound and gagged him and rified the car before the train came to a stop. When the train slowed up at a railroad crossing known as Air Line Junction, near the southeastern limits of the city, they climbed out of the car and disappeared. Nothing was known of the robbery until negro train porter entered the car and found the helpless express messenger.
 After the train had been stopped and others of the crew had come forward and released the express messenger. it was found that the robbers had rified lut lOCdl IdklIiB IL every thing of value They had made no ef- fort to disturb the through safe, which is protected by a time lock. From Air Line Junction a telegraphic report of the robbery was sent to this city and the train proceeded south. The Wells Fargo Company control the express on the Pittsburg and Gulf Road. At the express company's office here, c. R. Tease, the local manager, stated that there was not much of value in the local safe. and that s200 or $500 would probably cover the company's loss. Tn police circles, however, the impression prevails that the robbers secured several thousand dollars in money and jewelry.
 The report received at the express company's office here states that the robbers entered the express car as the train was pulling out of the yards, hay ing forced the rear door with a jimmy. E. N. Hyde of Kansas City was the express messenger. Upon turning from his work he looked into the barrel of six-shooter. The messenger offered no resistance, though he was well armed. and after the robbers had bound him, one of them stood guard over him while the other rifled the safe.
 The robbers are described as smooth faced young men and the fact that both were extremely nervous while in the express car is taken as evidence that they are new recruits to Kansas City's force of train robbers.
 At o'clock a special train was sent to the scene of the robbery with a force of policemen and marshals, and these men are now scourino the coun- try along the river banks in search of the robbers.
 Though to-night's robbery Is the first that has occurred on the P. & G. line. it is the sixth crime of the kind per petrated in Kansas within fifteen months. There have been several ar rests of train robbers during this time but there has not been a single convic- ton.

understood Russia has renewed her offer to China to include a loan in Ger many on more favorable terms than are obtainable in Paris or London.
 According to a dispatch to the Daily Mail from Rome. signor Crispi, the distinguished Italian statesman and former Premier, has said, in the course of an interview there, that events in the far east have proved that Rus sia 'only sought the French alliance to hamper France in this important matter and that Italy would get noth- ing by supporting England in Chinese affairs, while she might expect much from supporting Russo-German ac- tion."

COLUMBUS. Ohio. Jan. 4.-The po- Iitical future of Senator Hanna is cer- tainly tonight in a closely poised bal ance. While there are now reported to be only nine dissenters among the eighty Republican members-one in the Senate and eight in the House-yet the really doubtful list is limited to two or three. Some of the dissenting Republicans are not likely ever to be reconciled to Senator Hanna. They have burned the bridges behind them and openly admit it. Representatives Griffith of Union and Joyce of Guern- sey, who voted with "the combine" on
The San Francisco call., 1898-01-05

have all members located before bal loting begins.
 The Senate and the House will ballot separately next Tuesday for Senator. The Senate will stand 19 to IT against Hanna by Senator Burke voting with the Democrats. The House on Monday stood 56 to 53. It is now 55 to 54 against Hanna. This would settle the contest if ''the combine'' in both houses can concentrate on any one candidate against Hanna, and when the two houses meet on the following day, Wednesday, January F, to canvass in joint assembly the vote of the previous day, as cast by each branch separately, there would be nothing to do except to announce the total result as "A to Il against Hanna.
 But if Senator Hanna has not ma jority a week hence it is doubtful whether any opponent will have it. and the general prediction is for a dead lock. In the event that the balloting next Tuesday does not show a major ity for any one the General Assembly will proceed on the next day to ballot ing in the joint assembly, and continue to do so until there is an election. The balloting week hence may not do any | more than compel the contestants to show their names on rollcall, and after that the same fight may be continued for an indefinite period.
 | The combine" claims that he has been an ex-Senator since the Legisla- ture met yesterday. As Senator Hanna was appointed when Secretary Sher- man went into the Cabinet, article 2, section 2, of the statutes is being quoted.
 In the House all sorts of bills were 1 introduced against corporations. The measures were regarded as thrusts at l Senator Hanna, whose affairs are of varied interests. An amendment to the Nicholas law, which taxes the earnings | of express, telegraph, telephone and | other companies was introduced so as to include street railways, electric light and power equipments, artificial and natural gas. pipeline messengers, | sleeping-car and all other corporations.
 There was also a bill introduced to repeal the law for new State House. l This was regarded as returning the l compliment to the Columbus people,
 who have expressed their protests at l the course of Governor Bushnell.
 While these measures were being | thrown in delegation of $50 from
 Springfield, the home of Governor
 Bushnell, marched into the State House wearing Hanna badges and with
 banners bearing severe inscriptions | and called on Governor Bushnell. Congressman Weaver, the spokes-
 man of the visiting delegation from | Springfield, said: T had the hones =
