Touched the Heart and Conscience

Congressman johnson OF Indiana,
Republican, delivered a speech
against the Hawaiian annexation
yesterday and the telegraphic re-
ports tell us that the demonstration
which greeted the conclusion of Mr..
Johnson's speech was one OF the
greatest and most spontaneous
witnessed in this Congress. Many
of the Republicans joined in it and
the galleries which were crowded
gave evidences of approval. Mem
bers thronged about the Indiana
member when he took his seat and
warmly congratulated him.
The speech was not remarkable
for eloquence, or brilliancy. His
arguments were neither novel nor
particularly forcible. Why then the
great demonstration Simply be-
cause Mr. Johnson's declaration Of
opposition was sign that this
monstrous conspiracy shall fail. The
sign was hailed with JOY and loud
acclaim because it made glad the
hearts and consciences Of the
American people. The same glad
feeling prevails throutheut the
nation to-day wherever Mr.. John
sons speech is read. There is the
feeling OF relief at the promise of
being saved from a blupder that
would lack little OF crime. 1t is felt
that we are to evade the grasp Of
that mysterious influence that was
pushing US on towards annexation.
The denomination was merely the
response Of hearts and consciences
touched by the truth.-N.Y. Observer.

cH1NA's OFFER TO THE ozAR.

cHINA's OFFER TO THE GAR.
Willing to Lease Talien-Wan, but
not Port Arthur-The Rebellion
Against the Manchu Dynasty
Spreading Along the Yang-tse-
Kiang.
Especial Dispatch to l. he Call
PEKINa, March 19.-The recent in
activity of the Russians at Peking is
explained by the fact that the nego-
tiations have again been transferred
10 st. Petersburg, owing to the diff.
culties encountered here. The coin
cidence of the French demands pre-
sented on the eve Of the negotiation
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 pro-
posals, and the ambassador said
that when he next visited the Foreign
Office he would present stronger ar
guments and would even threaten
active operations from Tongking
and the forcible seizure OF a cosling
station.
The general opinion here is that
it is impossible to disregard the per-
sistent rumors circulating in we'll in
formed circles that Russia has
abandoned her attempts to lease
Port Arthur, but has not ceased her
negotiations regarding Talien-Wan.
China, it is said, has offered to
lease to Russia Talien. Wan and to
allow the proposed railway from
Petura to Kwang Chun Tu, Munk-
den and Port Arthur to remain in
China's hands. 1t was rumored yes
terday that the Chinese Government
is increasing the Port Arthur garri-
son by 300 men and is also sending
troops to Tallu and Shan-Kwan.
The interview which was to have
been had yesterday by M. Doboie,
the French Charge d'Affaires, with
the authorities was postponed,
owing to the sacrifices in the Tenn
pie OF the Sun. China, it is assert
ed, proposes to yield only to the de-
mands relative to the province of
Kwang 81.
LONDON, March ia special dis
patch from Shanghai, received here
to-day, says conspiracy with the
object Of bringing about rebellion,
has been started by Chinese officials
OF various ranks in the Chang Sha
province Of Human.
1t is said to have spread to all the
provinces bordering on the Yang
tse-Kiang, and fears are expressed
that it may prove to be the most
formidable since the TAPPING rebel
lion. 1t is professsedly a patriotic
movement to overthrow the Manchu
dynasty and save the central pro-
vinces from European control, But
it is suspected that the plot emanat-
ed from the Mandarin, who are
alarmed at the prospect Of diver
sion Of part OF their pickings to pay
the interest on the new loan.
The Peking authorities are cogniz-
ant of the movement, but, distrust-
ing the loyalty Of the provincial
troops, they are helpless.
The conspirators are said to have
approached British subjects with in
ducements to join in rebellion and
they have also offered large sums of
money for arms

COMMENCE TODAY

DETWEEN this date and the MIDDLE OF
ID MARCH, 1t Is usual for the people Of this
section to select their reading matter for the
following year. Being one Of the cleanest,
most enterprising and reliable newspapers in
the state, it is natural, therefore, that THE
YORKVILLE ENQUIRER should also be
one Of the most popular. Ninety per cent of
the families in the county desire 1t as n regu.
lar visitor to their homes, and all those who
can afford it, may reasonably be looked upon
rs probable subscribers. One OF the most Sc
rious drawbacks, probably, Is the inconven;;
ience Of writing letters, sending money and
attending to the matter of subscribing at the
proper time. 1t Is this fact that makes 1t es-
pecialy desirable for us, just at this time. to
secure the services of large number OF intel:
ligent and energetic assistants, and to make IT
worth their while to give the matter their
attention, we are making the liberal offers
which we will presently explain.
The price of q single subscription one year
Is TWO DOLLARS. This Is to the individual
who does not give his name to clubmalSer
but sends 1t direct to this Office. In clubs,
however, the price is only ONE DOLLAR
AND SEVENTY-FIVE CENTS. That Is the
price which the subscriber pays the clubma-
ker, and the price which, under all circum.
stances, he is expected to pay us. Now to our
propositions:
