HIS PLAN NOT POPULAR
England Does Not Like Inc New Policy Of RuSSia'S Emperor.

London, Jan. Surprisingly littla attention has been given here to Lord Salibury's reply to the cZar's proposal for a peace conference locking to the reduction Of national armame e1ts There is good reason to believe that the efforts of the emperor of Russia have failed.
 Lord Salisbury's reply is dated Oct. A, and nothing has becn dCne. On the contrary, since that date the Ger man government has decided tc in- crease its army and the French gov ernment to increase it's army.
 Personally. Lord Salisbury and many leading officials believe that the czar is sincere, and it is needless to say that the queen is in entire sympathy with the proposal, but the British pub lie, which is overwhelmingly Russo phobe, distrusts the St. Petersburg policy. Its 1mmcvab!e standpoint is Rudyard Kipling's The Truce Of the Bear
 Under such conditions. it is unlikely that the conference, if it mee.s, ever will be able to do morG than give ex- pression tcl pious opinions.
 Another international conference, which was recently held in RCre for the purpose Of outlining some plan for the suppression or anarchISm, n9S also proved wholly fruitless. England and France refused to go further than to urge the greatest police viz lauc2. England declined f1at1y to entertain any thought Of enacting legislation providing for dcmiciIiary visits to suspects or registering t1eir names, except in the case of ordinary non-pO litical criminals.
 Phenomenal withdra walls from the banks in France hold the attention of politicians as well as financi5rs. The withdrawals last week were principal ly the haId-earned savings Cf artisans and peasants from savings banks all over the country. The belief among those classes in France is that Eng land is determined to force a war on France. That belief $ not shared here, but it is becoming an absolute obsess-on across the channel, fed by cheap widely-circulated newspapers which invent daily wild-eyed war scares.
 The feeling here against France has been embittered, however, by MaCag- ascar correspondence. A strong sup porter of the government says the i moral is that it is folly to allow i French protectcrates to be established 1

 hire them. The terms of the contract
 also provide that only German coal is to be taken on board at German, Bel
 gian or Dutch ports of call, except by the special assent of the imperial chan cellor; that in cases of German and foreign goods being simultaneously of fered for dispatch, the German goods are, if necessary, to have the prefer ence, and that the chancellor may pro- hibit the importation by German, Bel gfan or Dutch ports of sucsh agricul- tural products as may compete with those of German agriculture.
 The agreement provides that the Ger man government shall pay to the Lloyd company 5,590,000 marks per year payable monthly. (Value of mark 23.8 cents.) This contract ex- tends from April, 1899, for term of fifteen years; the regular plan of sail ing on the Japanese line must begin at the latest in April, 1899. It is also an- nounced that a Bremen firm intends to establish with steamers now being built for that purpose a steamship line on the Yangtse Kiang in China, to ply between Shanghai and HankoW. By the aid of these lines, which will con. meet with the subsidized lines running from Hamburg to Shanghai, German OSdISTS anu G0FIuam 1QC6T0SIS VIII D0 in direct communication not only with Shanghai, which has two-thirds of the import trade of China, but also with Hankow, one of the most important commercial cities of China, and having Ia population of about 100000. It is now being connected with Peking by railroad. iHankow is probably the most important of the distributing cen- ters of interior China, being splendidly situated in the very heart of the coun- try, surrounded by a network of riv- CTS and lakes, and reached by the larg- est steamers, and when to this is added the railway system n3w under con- struction, it's importance as a distribut ing point for interior China is very great
 Germany's expcslts to the Asiatic countries have increased very rapidly during the past decade. Her exports to China in 1887 amounted to IA, ,309,000 marks in value, and in 1896 to 45,266,- 0G0. To Japan the 1887 exports were 6,3S9,000 marks, and those of 1896, 35,- ell ,000. To British East Indies they were in 1887 7,230,000, and in 1896 49, 179,000 marks. To Dutch East Indies and the Philippines they were in 1887, 5.S49,0O0, and in 1896 16,943. 900. To Australia they were in 1887 7,470.000; in 1896, 29, PAY. 900 marks.

THE BEEF DISCUSSION.
It Will Have a Disastrous Effect on
 Our Export Trade.

Washington, Jan. 12.-It is the belief at the agricultural department tsat tHe discussion new in progress before the war Investigating comm on ever the question Of the beef used by the American army during the war with
 Spain, which is used almost entirely in cur export trade, will SO seriously affect the export business a to cost he people Of the United States probably half the amount Of the total expenses of the war.
 Secretary Wilson dce5 not place any confidence in the reports that chem;- calls were used in the preparation of the beef for ths. army. He thinks that it would be impossible for chemicals to be used without knowledge Cf the fact coming to the agricu 'tural dep lrt- mont within ix hours after the manu- lecturers attempted such. a scheme. The department, Secretary Wilson says has expert inspectors who are all ways on the alert and who would be informed cn the subject immediately after the chemicals were used. He says it is .noly natural that a few sides Of beef spilled; such always will be the case when great amounts are used and long shipments made; but he de- clares, there is never danger of re- SpOnS1Dle packers using 0l6mlHaIS III their work if preparing beef fer ship ment and use.
 The German ambassador and mum Der Of otherr representatives of fer eign governments particularly inter ested in our export trade, and espec- ially in beef. have recently called o1 Secretary Wilson. These represen'a a tiv5s have asked fer infcrm7ticn con corning the preparation O. refrigeTator beef for shipment and fer. export, and have sent to their governments any amount of literature o1 the subject MT. Wilson is Of the opinion that the result will be serious, and that the fal- ling eff in our beef expert trade will soon be noticeable.
 All of the inspectors und7r the cln- trol of tho agricultural department, Secretary Wilson says, have made re- ports cn the preparation Of the re- frigersted beef, and rot c'7e Of them has found any use of chemicals. The inspection is thorough, and Sec-etH y Wilscn says there could te no way - packers tn escape the vigilance of his men, They would net wish to d0 SO he says, and he further maintains that there is not the slightest danger Of such a move ever being made by the shippers, for the re3son that their beaf as it new is, remains in good conditi-n as long as it is properly cared fer.

EMPLOY A SECRET ALLOY.
Is Wolfram the New Alloy for Gun
 Steel?

MT. Wm. Niven, who last summer purchased number Of wolfram claims at Russelville for F. E. Canda, paid flying visit tc Wilcox Saturday. He has just completed some development work On MT. CCrnel'so1's wolfram claim near Gage, N. M, on which he holds a bend, and which makes ;au ex- cellent showing. MT Niven is now en route to southern Mexico, where he has a concession cn a large area of valuable placer ground. He purposes in returning in a few months to do- velCp the Gage property. MT. Niven, says the News, believ5s that wolfram is the secret alloy used in the conpo- sition of the new cast st-el gun, which is reported to have four times the re- sistance of the built-up guns hitherto SO much in favor. If this conj- cture is correct. it accounts for the recent rise in the price of wolfram ore, and at the sme time fNeshadows revo.uticn in ordnancG King, since cast guns can tha tn pusry y Duiit-up hitsu gun guns.

present. system, are necessary. It d0Sts $1 to send a money order of $100 in amount from New York to Montreal or from Montreal to New York. The price is the same between any other two countries, even if they are within a few miles of each other. An instance is cited by the postoffice department
 officials here of a man in St. Albans, Vt, who cent an order for $500 to a, place in Canada, only seventeen miles from St. Albans The order cost him $5. The same order made payable in Sitka, Alaska, United States territory, thousands of miles away, would have cost only s1.5O, the rate tor internal money orders in both the United States and CaIadJa being 30 cents per $10O.
 It is the desire of the postoffice de- with the Canadian authorities by which the charge for international money orders between the two coun- tries may be made the same as for local money orders. The rate of letter post age from the United States to Canada is the same as to points in the United States, and it is believed that the rate for money orders should not be greater.
 A gt1eaIter number of money orders are sent from this country to Canada than from Canada to the United States. but the Canadian orders on this c0Iln- try are of larger amount on the aver age This fact will make the NaAount of fees collected So nearly an even mat ter that the Canadian postal officials have no doubt agreed, as Supekintend- ent Metcalf has wired, as to the rates.

ARCHBISHOP CHAPPELLE.
His Mission to the Island Of Porto
 Rico.

Washingt on, Jan. 12.-Archbishop Chappelle of New Orleans. who holds mission from the pope to the West Indies, has gone to Porto Rico to begin his work He undertakes it with a great deal of confidence that the gov ernment will be able to assure the Por- to Ricans of it's inteticn t3 manage the affairs of the island So as to benefit both Porto RicanS and the United States.
 ''It seems dCsira ble,'' said the arch bishop before his departure, that the people should have a chance to hear from somebody besides the military officers. These officers will perform their duties well. have no doubt, but they may sometimes be reluctant to accept the assurances Of such offic GETS, speaking in a strange tongue and needing the assistance of inte- -preters. There are many things to bs taken into cinsideratiOn in dealing With people of Spanish origin They are not like us in their manner or thought, or in their habits of administration. As soon as they find that the change is to be to their lasting advantage, and that the official oppression is not to be the practice, they will rapidly improve.
  tries settled by Spain the old laws are admirable The Spanish were masters of theory; as executiv officers they have been constantly declining fer centuries. So they will find that, while the laws for the islands we have taken may be excellent, they have not been carried into effect by the Spanish CO., lonial officers, most of whom have reached the islands as adventurerS, the ne'er do well members of decayed genteel families.
 E'It would be both unreasonable and harsh to expect these people to become like the people of tn United States at once By and by they will learn to conform themselves to our laws, if they are applied gradually. Slime of the small vices which to Porto R:cans seem not vices at all, will be abandon ed with the development of greater habits of industry. just as fast as they learn that by industry that they may lift themselves out of their former condition of poverty and helplessne=s.
 ''The president holGs bread and gen erous views concerning the improve ment of the West Indies. If they are to be carried ont by competent and earnest men, and not by mere place seekers, they must inevf ta bly, banffit the newly acquired territories. I fe I that if I go among the pacple and tell them. in my way, about what the president and the people of the United States intend to do for them, I shall be able to help the president, in cCnvinc- ing the Porto Ricans of cur sincere de- sire to better their condition in every WaV''

Cairo, Jan. 12.-Lcrd Cromer, Brit ,ish diplimatic agent in Egypt has laid the fiundation stone of the Gordon Memorial college at Khartoum.
 In the name of the queen Lord Crcmer promised that there should be no attempt tCi crea'e an Anglicized Scudarese people. but on the other hand a self-govering people would be created. He further promised that the college would teach agriculture, en- gineering and all the other useful and practical work. and said that the in struction would be in the Arabic lan- guage.
 Lcrd Cromer's speech was well re- ceived by a large gathering, including the leading men of the native popula tiOn.

He served in the Spanish w1r and whila at New York recovering f1lJm fever, met man named Johnson who had formerly lived in eastern Utah ard who told him that he had found rich float, describing the looa- tion.

in regions open to our trade, promises of fair treatment for our commerce from the French foreign Cffice not be- ing worth the paper they are written on.
 ''Wie see how France has kept the Madagascar engageme nt,'' he adds. Let us take warning, and avoid a like treatment in China"
 Some excitement has been caused here by an article on the war in Scu- dan written by GOTH espondent who was at thei front and published mag azine. In the article it is charged that the British soldiers under Lord Kitc1- ener's direct CrdeEs killed unarm@d dervishers. and even women and children after the battle of Omdurman
 The accusation has evoked chorus of indignant disclaimers from officers and other correspondents. Lord Kitch- ener wir5d from Khartoum, thanking, on behalf Of himself and the Egypt an army, those persons who refuted the charges. which he dsnounce5 as dis graceful calumnies.
 A dispasscniate view given expres- sicn to by an experienced ex-Soudan is that wiunded dervishes were shot, that course having been proved abso- lutsly necessary in self-defense beause Cf their murderous treachery. Exrer- fence in former battles in the Soudan had demonstrated that tho dervishes when wounded would lie on the ground pretend to be helpless and stab medl- cal officers sent to assist them and trcCps charging over them.
 The belief is that the corresp p0ndent who brought the oI1arges gave tco credulOus an ear to native servants be- cause of Lcrd Kitchener's harshness to correspondents.
