STATE NOTES

The Sacramento Republican county COM
mittee met yesterday and increased its
membership by six. Two new members
weer added from each of the three assem-
bly, districts makinfenineteen committee
men. The increase was opposed by A. j.
Rhoads. the old time political leader, but
only two others voted with him. 1t is un-
derstood to be a sort of revolt. The COM
mittee adopted a resolution strongly in
dorsing Robert r. Devin of Sacramento
at present a state prison director, for
United States attorney for the northern
district of California.
Rev. p. Smith. priest of St. Stanislaus
church at Modesto, died suddenly yester-
day of heart disease. While celebrating
the second mass of the day at 1l:3O he was
seen to drop at the altar. When assistance
reached him he was conveyed to the fresh
air, but died in a few minutes without re-
gaining consciousness. He came to NO
desto about three years ago from San
Francisco, and was in charge of the four
Catholic parishes of this county. He was
about 30 years of age and was native of
Ireland. Just before he was stricken down
he had preached an eloquent sermon on
the necessity of being prepared for death.
1t is announced as result of an investi-
cation of the securities held by Thomas r.
Wells of Sonora, county treasurer, re-
ported as unable to produce a satisfactory
balance, that the securities are more than
ample to liquidate all of Wells indebted
ness. 1t is stated that the Bank of Com
merce will assume the Indebtedness of the
county treasurer today, an arrangement
in which all interested profess entire sat
isfaction.
Roy R. Rogers, an assistant in the COL
lege of chemistry al the state university of
Berkeley, was terribly burned and cut yes
terday by an explosion of black mangan-
ese in the college laboratory. He was in
vestigating the contents Of several pack
ages of chemicals and dropped red hot
platinum wire into box of manganese.
He will probably recover, but may be dis
figured for life.

ENGLAND's ACTION
Accepted by the Chinese as Entirely
Friendly

PEKIN, April 10.-The effect Of Great
Britain's action at Wei Ha Wei Is already
apparent here. The Chinese thoroughly
comprehend now the disinterestednees Of
England, and her prestige is now higher.
than ever. The Chinese regard Great Brit
aims action as a step which has saved the
empire from dismembeDment. No definite
arrangements have yet been made regard
ing the extent Of the territory to be occu-
pied in connection with Wei Ha Wei, but
probably 1t will be the same district az II
held by Japan, ten miles inland and paral-
lei with indentations Of the coast. The
opening of the Woo Sung will possibly, In.
a slight degree, AFFECT Shanghai, which in
few months will be connected by rail with
Woo Sung. Numerous instances are re.
ported Of a growing Chinese distrust Of
Russia. This feeling Is shown by the re-
cent totally unprecedented actions Of the
students now In Pekin for their examina-
tions for admission to their final degrees.
All are men of weight and standing. They
have memorialized the throne, urging vig-
orous action against Russian aggression,
and stating that all Chinese are convinced
Of the enmity of Russia, while they recog-
nize the friendliness of England.

erted in any material way against the in
surgents, yet this influence will be
brought to bear as far as possible from
every moral standpoint. The influence of
the United States government will also
be a very material factor in case the pres
ent crisis between the United States and
Spain is averted, and the armistice is ac-
cepted in Washington as tentative
ground as a solution of the Cuban problem.
The attitude of congress on the general
subject is probematical.
During the past few days the feeling in
both houses has been Intense. and it re-
mains 10 be seen whether the change
brought about by the armistice will be
sufficient to allay this feeling. Resolu-
tions are already prepared, but these were
framed when diplomatic negotiations were
in a deadlock.
Diplomatic circles in Washington were
keenly interested in the change brought
about by Spains grant of an armistice.
The ambassadors and ministers exchanged
calls and there was a general exchange
of congratulations, as it was felt that the
armistce at least would give time for
calmer counseis. The French ambassa-
dor, NJ. Cambon, received a dispatch from
the foreign office at Paris, Informing him
that the armistice had been granted, and
was wholly without conditions. Besides
seing his associates of the diplomatic
corps, the ambassador saw Archbishop
Ireland. who was instrumental in securing
the influence of the pope, and Joined the
archbishop in expressions of satisfaction.
Throughout the negotiations the French
ambassador and the French government
has taken a leading part in averting an
open rupture between the United States
and Spain. While the British government
has been most active in seeing that the
action of the powers did not assume a
attitude toward the United
States yet it is known that Great Britain
joins with the other powers in approving
the latest movement of an armistice. and
is hopeful that this will clear the way for
a fuller settlement of the general Cuban
cues ion.
