BERLIN, Jan. 2.-It is announced that
China has yielded to the demands of
Baron Heyking, German ambassador at
Pel1ing, for the dismissal of the COM
mandant of the Chinese garrison at
Tsao Chau, province of Shan Tung. be-
cause Of use of strong language to the
German missionaries there. The Chin
ese Government has teleghaphed a dis

ciated Press on Saturday Baron Hey
king in making his demand for the dis

Yamen requested the Embassador to

Saturday before making a reply 10
their demand. whereupon he threatened
to leave Pekin.
LONDON, Jan. 3.-The Daily
Graphic" claims to have authority for
the assertion that no agreement exists
between Russia and Germany with re-
gard to China: that Germany occupied
Kiaochau without Russia's cognizance
and that the occupation annoyed the adj
visers OF the Czar. A dispatch to the
Times" from Pekin dated Friday says:
The arrangements with Russia for the
guarantee loan are actively proceeding
and when completed, the Russians on
the plea of supervising the collection of
land tax, will obtain the right to enter
every Yamen in the Empire"

CHINESE CONCESSION.
Report That the British Admiral
Fired on a Russian Warship.

LONDON, Jan. 3.-The ST. Petersburg
correspondent of the Times says:
1T is renorted that China has given
consent to Russian surveys for a rail
way to Port Arthur as branch of the
Russian trans -Manchuria Railway and
not a mere extension Of the Chinese lien
Tsin Railway. 1t is also stipulated that
the route is to avoid Moukden, the capl-
tai of the Tartar dynasty.
Moukden is the capital of the province
of Liao Tong, Manchuria, and is also $50
miles northeast of Pekin. 1t was the
last residence of the Manchuria sover-
eigns before the conquest of China and is
the place where the early Emperors OF
the reigning dynasty are buried.
A sensation has been caused by
rumor from Plymouth that the English
Admiral has fired on a Russian man
of-war in Chinese waters. Nothing is
known as to the rumor at the foreign
office or the Admiralty.
The morning papers publish also the
statements that England is pressing
China to declare Port Arthur free port.
1t is supposed the presence of British
warships there is intended to insure
freedom of access for trading vessels.

Shooting Gallery Keeper Found Dead
in His Cot.
A Woman Suspected of Having Done the
Deed.
Three Bullet Holes in His Head
and Single Shot Pistol Lying
Beside Him-An Industrial De-
partment Opened for the De-
velopment Of Oregon and Wash
ingtou.

SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. John H.
Dow was found dead in his shooting gall
lery at SO Kearny street this evening
with three bullet holes in his head. He
was lying on a cot and at first it was
believed he had committed suicide. By
his side lay single shot pistol, and an
examination of the wounds by Coroner
Hawkins has convinced that official that
it is a case of murder. There are no
powder marks on the head and the Cor
oner declares that it would have been
impossible for Dow to have inflicted
either one of the wounds and then re-
loaded the pistol and shot himself again.
Dow was an inoffensive man and had
few if any enemies. A woman known as
Susie" who sometimes looked after the
shooting gallery, was heard to quarrel
with Dow on Friday over rifle he
claimed to have been stolen While she
was in charge of the place, but nothing
was then thought of the matter. She is
now missing and the police are search
ing for her. The shooting is supposed 10
have occurred on New Years eve, as the
gallery has not been open for business
since then.

MINISTER BAKERS VIEWS.
Zelaya Has Given as Good a Gov
ernment as He Was Permitted To.

NEW YORK, JAN 2.-Lewis Baker
| Minister to Nicaragua, writing from
that republic, in a. personal capacity
and in lefutation of certain allegations
as Iffecting the administration Of Pres
ident Zelaya, says:
II have known President Zelaya fol-
several years, and have been CONVEX
SAINT with his official acts, and from a
disinterested point of observation, un-
Influenced by partisan passion, which
runs as high here as it did in the late
Mayoralty campaign in New York,
aver that General Zelaya has given the
people of Nicaragua as good a govern
ment as they will permit him. During
his four years incumbency as Presi-
dent, his political opponents have twice
attempted to elect a successor by resort
to revolution, and both times they
failed dsastrously. His efforts are for
the preservation of the peace, the de-
velopment of the rich resources of the
country and the elevation of his peo-
pie.
HE is endeavoring to educate and
elevate his people by making the pub
lie schools universal; he is endeavoring
to develop his country by building rail-
roads through it; he is endeavoring to
make the people prosperous by en-
couraging them to be peaceable and in
dustrious. Foreigners who attend to
their own business and do not meddle
with politics which do not concern
them are fully protected in person and
property, and are only nominally taxed,
If at all. Taxation on natives is light.
except where they join IN political con-
sptracies to overthrow the lawful au-
thorities, and then they are taxed to
pay the cost of their mutinies.
President Zelaya is an educated
man. is intelligent, broad-minded and
liberal in his administration of public
affairs. / have many reasons to be-
ieve him an honest man, and not one
TO believe him otherwise. / want to
emphasize the statement that he is
glad to see Industrious and enterpris-
ing foreigners coming to Nicaragua TO
live; that they are lightly taxed and
fully protected. He is an enthusiastic
admirer Of the American people, Of
their progress, their energy and their
Government, and will welcome with
hospitality Americans who may join in
the development of the industries, the
soil and the gold mines Of Nicaragua" !"

KLONDIKERS RETURNING.
There Will be No Starvation, but
Provisions Are Scarce.

SEATTLE. Jan. 2-Forty-five Klon-
dikers arrived here tonight on the
steamer Corona from Skaguay ana
Dvea. They brought no late news, as
all of them left Dawson previous 10
November 25th. In reference to the
food situation they confirm the stories
of last weeks arrivals that there VIII
be no famine this winter although pro-
visions are scarce. 1t will be neces-
sary. however, they think, to send sup
plies in the early spring, as the STOCK
on hand will be pretty well exhausted
by the time the Yukon opens for nayi-
cation
Among those coming from Dawson
were DIR. Vansant, Peoria, H.; Allen h
JOY. Portland, Or, and A. p. Murphy
and James F. Kelley of Helena, Mont.
The out trip was a very hard one on
account of the extreme cold, the ther-
mometer registering from 90 to 40 de-
grees below. The ice along the river
is piled up as high as fifteen feet and
only the best dog teams can get over
It. Many outfits which started down
3n boats were met along the river frozen
.n. where they viii have to remain "A
party of mounted police, with twenty
tons of provisions were met at Bennett
Lake on the way down to the Big Sal
mon. where Major Walsh is waiting for
them.
John XIII of Seattle. one Of the party
arriving on the Corona, was robbed at

worth of gold dust, the proceeds OF a
cattle sale at Dawson last summer.

The Town Council Of Skaguay has
aaopted a set of resolutions protesting
against the abolishment of the SUPPORT
of Dyea- The resolutions set forth
that the duty collected since the es-
tablishment Of the port amounts to So.-
600. and that the revenue to be derived
the next twelve months Will probably
exceed S20,0oo.
People are pouring into Skaguay and
Dyea on every steamer. Hotels and
lodging houses are taxed to their full
capacity.
II the influx continues at the present
rate accommodations will be out of
the question within two weeks, 1t is
feared.
The trails across the mountains are
not in good condition at present owing
to the raw and warm weather on the
coast and deep SHOWS on the summit
The estimates of the amount of gold
brought down on the Corona differ
widely. They range all the way from
100000 to 100000.
Dr. vansant and party Of eight are
said to have $4,000.
