Bay state Senate Refuses TO sanction
Stock Watering.

Boston, March 29.-Another plan for
canal across Cape Cod has probably
followed its numerous predecessors into
oblivion, through the rejection to-day
by the state senate of the bill permit
ting the Boston, Cape Cod and New
York Canal company to issue S12, 900 900
in stocks and bonds without regard to
the actual cost of the proposed canal
The vote on rejection was 12 to Is, num-
erous amendments having been defeat
ed previous to the vote on the main
bill. The principal objection to the bill
was that it was directly contrary to
the so-called "stock watering" act of
the state. One of the amendments pre-
sented was thought to reconcile the
bill with the stock watering act, but
the senate refused to accept it, The
house previously had passed the bill by
a bare majority.

Resolution Against the Beers Adopted


Philadelphia, March 29.--At to-day's
session of the Delaware Methodist Epis-
copal conference a resolution denounc-
ing the Beers as shareholders was pre-
sented by the Rev. f. II. Butler and
unanimously adopted. The conference
is composed of colored preachers and
laymen of Delaware, Maryland and a
portion of Pennsylvania. The slavery
complained of was the present appren-
tice scheme now in vogue in that coun-
try.
Mr.. Butler said the natives were kept
in slavery, especially in the mining dis
tricts No matter what may be said
against the English, they have always
been the first to abolish slavery wher-
ever they have found it. The lives of
the colored race in South Africa have
been made miserable by this system,
which practically means ownership for
the men over them. No matter how
much we may sympathize with the
Beers in their strife as republic, we
must recognize the condition of the col
ored race in that district

immediate rupture between Japan and
Russia Whatever may be done in the
future regarding the disturbances
Tien Tsn, it is learned that no steps
have yet been taken looking to con-
certed action upon the part of the pow
ers, nor is there any indication that Off
cial circles regard the situation in China
as serious as it is made out in the press
dispatches. From all sources of infor-
nation available to the British foreign

desires nor is in any way near ready to
