China Will Oppose Further Aggression
by Force.
VICTORIA, B. c., May l8.-According
to news received by the Empress of In
dia, China will resist further aggression
by the powers. That China intends to
oppose the advance of Germany in the
north is shown by the fact that recently
orders were sent to the mandarins and
taetaes of all districts and provinces, or
derlng them to concentrate what fight
ing men they could and prepare for war.
The arsenals have been ordered to push
forward the manufacture of arms and
ammunition with all haste. A late
edict places Viceroy Liu in charge of
the people. The Chinese navy also, &C.
cording to late reports, is getting ready
for an emergency.
Trouble has occurred recently in Shan
Tung and German missionaries have
been i'll treated. Germany is sending
expeditions to punish the natives, burn
ing villages and gradually pushing her
way inward, until very shortly she will
have possession of the whole province.
The Kobe Herald says that the Ger
man plan is to establi German king.

previously stated in Pekin dispatches.

MANILA, May 22.-The cruiser Olym-
pia, with Admiral Dewey on board, left
here on her homeward journey to the
United States at pm. AS she steamed
away the Oregon, Baltimore and Con-
cord fred an admiral's salute. At the
first shot the band on the aagship's
afterdeck played lively air and the
blueclad sailors crowded the decks and
gave tremendous cheer.
AS the Olympia passed the Oregon the
crew Of the battleship gave nine cheers
for the Olympia's, who responded by
throwing their caps SO high that dozens
of them were left bobbing in the wake
of the cruiser.
Then followed the noisiest half hour
known in the harbor since the battle
which linked its name with that of
Dewey.
The din Of guns and brass bands
echoed through the smoke of a feet of
steam launches shrieking their whistles,
the musicians of the Baltimore played
"Home Sweet Home, her flags signalled
GOOD bye" and those Of the Oregon
said pleasant voyage"

Niddle-Roadsrs in Session 1t Kansas CITY
Strongly Opposed to Fusion.
KANSAS Cry, May 18.-An address
to the Populists of the country has been
issued by the national organization COM
mittee of the Peoples party, with the
endorsement of the Reform Press asso-
citation. These two bodies, whose COM
mon object is to keep the Peoples party
in the middle of the road, avoiding
fusion with either political party every
where, have been in session here since
Tuesday morning and the adoption of
the address concluded their labors. All
was not harmony between the middle
of-the-road leaders and only after long
and heated discussion was an address
agreed upon. A hard fight was made to
secure the Endorsement of Wharton
Barker and 1gnatius Donnelly for presi-
dent and vice president in 1900, but
this the
Committee Refused to Recommend.
Instead thorough organization of the
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. in every section
OF the country is urged, with the under
standing that they shall enter the next
national campaign with the present
Populist organization, but that wher-
ever fusion shall gain the day, whether
in county, state or national tickets, the
middle-o f-the-roaders shall bolt and be-
gin an active campaign to carry out
their principles.
The alleged fusionist tendencies of
Marion Butler, chairman of the Peo-
pies party national committee, are pro-
vided against in clause which author
ICES the national organization commit
tee to call national convention if they
shall be convinced that the national
chairman or national committee are
playing into the hands of the fusionists.

THE NICARAGUA CANAL.
Commissioners Said to Have Settled Som

Commissioners Said to Have Settled Some
Serious Differences.
New YORK. May pa dispatch to
The Tribune from Washington says the
Nicaragua canal commissioners, Ad-
miral Walker, Colonel Haines and Mr..
Haupt, are understood at last to have
settled the serious disagreements which
have so long delayed the report of the
commission, and which for time
threatened to make necessary the ap-
pointment by the president of another
commission under the authority con-
ferred by the last session of congress-.
The compromise affected among the
commissioners results in their fixing the
cost of the proposed waterway, which is
pronounced entirely feasible, at $780,
600, 900. It is believed the report will
be signed and delivered to the president
within day or two.

A CHANGE E IN PLANS.
ARBITRATION 70 BE GIVEN FIRST
PLACE IN DISCUSSION

By tho Psaoe Congress Now in Session
at The Hsgue-Humane Methods Of
Warfare Will BE Second and Disarm-
ament Third on tho Pro4ramme-Pow-
srs Of the Continent Likely to Oppose
International Arbitration.
THE HAGUE, May 22.-The second sit
ting of the peace conference lasted IS
minutes.
The president of the conference, Baron
de Staal, read the replies of the czar
and Queen Wilhelmina to the kilograms
sent them by the conference on
Thursday. The president then ad-
dressed the delegates on the subject of
the labors before them, and it was de-
cided not to publish the speech.
The president proposed the adoption
of arrangements for the committees,
which was agreed to without discus.
sion. Baron de Staal further proposed
that, although the principle of secrecy
should be maintained, communications
might be made through the press bu-
reau, subject to the approval of the
president. This was also adopted.
- Arbitration tho keynote.
1t was learned during the day that M.
De Staal placed the question Of medita-
ton and arbitration in the fore front in
the proceedings. The question of laws
rendering war as humane as possible by
the extension of the regulations already
existing. was then touched upon by the
president, who relegated the question
of the reduction of ornaments to the
third place.
This modiies the order in which the
three points were placed in the circular
of the Russian minister of foreign af-
fairs, Count Muravieff, but it has the
merit Of corresponding more closely to
the views of the delegates, and it is
now considered certain that meditation
and arbitration will have the chief place
In tho work of the conference. Further
the opinion is unanimous that the
American and British delegates will
take the most important part in the
study of this question.
The conference decided that all dele
gates, including the technical represen-
tatives, are to participate in the sittings
and join in the discussions.
The date of the next session has not
yet been fixed. It depends upon the
progress which will be made by the
committees.
NJ. de Staal announced that the gov
ornment of the Netherlands would give
IN artistic fete ON June l6, in honor of
the conference.

Powers of the Continent Will Oppose 1t
at the Feace Conference.
LONDON, May. 22.-The Daily News
publishes dispatch from The Hague,
supposed to be inspired by William T.
Stead, editor Of The Review of Reviews,
which in part is as follows:
Regarding arbitration, the present
position of the delegates seems to be this:
Germany and the other two powers of
the triple alliance are entirely against
it, and Turkey is following in their
wake. Great Britain and the United
States are entirely in favor of it. Pro-
lessor Won Stsngel of the German dele
cation, said: Arbitration is impracti-
cable when two nations are divided by
a vital issue.''
