LONDON, June 2s--The British Cow
ornment undoubtedly is preparing for
dangerous international complications In
the Far East. The surest evidence of this
is afforded by the nogotia,. Ions being car

dent Kruger TO end the Boer war.
An offer has already been made to Krue-
ger to allow him to remain In the Trans

Britain's difficulty the President will eN-
tract far better terms-not for himself
perhaps, but for mis- people.

.A RUSSIAN WAR BANKER
FRANK n. HASKELL RAN A GAME
AT IWILEI.
Judge Wilcox Finds Him Guilty of
Gambling and Imposes a Fifty-Dollar
Fine.

A chief game of Russian War was
played in the police court this morn
ing, for the purpose of showing Judge
Wilcox how the game is conducted. The
judge had seen it before but he looked
on with interest while the dice were
thrown, to see If it was the real thing.
Iokia, witness against Frank d.
Haskell, was the player. He swore
that Haskell had been the banker at
game last Saturday in Iwilei at which
the witness lost $5.
Deputy Sheriff Chillingworth produc-
ed a Russian War outfit, consisting of
cloth with the usual divisions on it
and set of dice. The witness showed
how the banker threw the dice and
cording to whether the dice matched
the numbers on the cloth or not.
Alex. G.. Nicholas testified that he
also was in the game and lost 81. Has
kell was the banker. Kaea and ]. Mar
wick added the weight of their oaths to
the evidence that Haskell had been
banker.
What is your business?" the judge
asked Nicholas.
I'm gambler" was the reply. I'm
der cross-eXamination he cheerfully ad'
mitted various gambling enterprises a!
his, and the judge warned him that hC
might be incriminating himself.
Haskell was found guilty and fined
$50 and costs. He Is quite a we'll
known character to the police, having
been mixed up in murderer Dunning'
row at Palama. A charge Of vagrancy
against him was nolle pressed.

NALDERSEE IS CRITICISED
EXPEDITION TO PAoTING-FU THE
CAUSE.
This was Contrary to Implied Wishes
of America-McKinley' Reply to the
French Note-Indemnity

WASHINGTON, Oct. lin direct op-
position TO the implied wishes of the
United States, Count Won Waldersee,
the German commander-in-c chief in Chi
ma, has sent an expedition to Paoting-
Flu, and his action may cause conse-
quences in the southern provinces
which the authorities fear to contem-
plate.
Believing that the foreigners and
their interests can best be protected by
bringing about the early return of
peace, Secretary Hay has furnished the
French and other governments with
his reply to the French propositions, in
which he states that the President
"would be pleased to see negotiations
begun Immediately upon the usual veri-
fication of credentials" Concluding his
note, the Secretary states that the
President believes that the governments
of France and other powers will see
in the reserves we have made here no
obstacle to the initiation of negotiations
on the lines suggested and he hopes
it will be found practicable to begin
such negotiations at an early day."
To guard against controversial dis
cussion, the President has indorsed the
suggestion of the Russian government,
that in case of a protracted divergence
of views, the matter of indemnity
mended to the consideration of the In
ternational Court of Arbitration of The
Hague.
In the demand of Ii Hung Chang for
the return of the S27S000 seized by the
! American marines at Tientsin, the au-
thorities see the purpose of the Chi
nese commissioners to offset the claims
for indemnity to be made by powers by
counter claims for damage to private
and Government property which was
not in accord with the rules of war
There is no intention on the part of this
Government to participate in any fur
| ther military expeditions, and it will
deprecate action of this character on
| the part of foreign powers.
Minister Wu Ting Fang asserts there
is no danger of an uprising in South
ern China, and has so assured Secre-
tary Hay. The authorities fear, how
ever, that unless something is quickly
done to support the position of the
viceroys who have so nobly held theii
people in check by this Government tc
insist that the Viceroys receive an ap-
propriate award for their conduct.

THE STRIKE IS STILL ON.
MINERS CONVENTION is NOW IN
SESSION.
Little Prospect That the Proposed In
crease of Wages VIII be Accepted.
Miners Want More Concessions.

SCRATON, (Pa), October 12.-Eight
hundred and fifty-seVen miners who
hold in their hands the power to end
or to continue the anthracite coal min
ers' strike, which has been in progress
for more than three weeks, met in con-
vention here today for the purpose of
considering the 10 per cent net advance
in wages offered by the operators, and
adjourned until tomorrow without TAX
ing any action on their employers prop
osition. Both of today's sessions were
devoted to organizing the convention
and to speeches by many of the dele
gates on the mine owners concession.
1t was not expected that anything
would be done today outside of a gem
eral exchange of views. The conVen-
ton, after it was permanently orga-
lied, went into secret session, but it was
learned from authoritative sources tnat
nothing of a definite nature was Sug-
what is, to the miners, a knotty prob
lem.
From the trend of the remarks of the
delegates it was gathered that the 10
per cent proposition, as it now stands,
has very little chance of being accepted
The delegates seemed, it was learned,
almost unanimous that the operators
should first make concessions in the
other grievances before the increase is
accepted by the mine workers. Grea;
stress was laid on the necessity of itbol-
ishing the sliding scale and substituting
therefor a tonnage basis on which 10
| fix the rate of wages The proposition
of having the operators guarantee a
| fixed time for paying the advance was
| also thoroughly discussed, while not a
| few delegates said they would be salts
| fled with nothing but a more liberal In
crease in wages.
The mode of procedure is a matter
! which is now occupying the attention OF
| the labor leaders. Incase the convention
| comes to a definite understanding on
! some proposition the question has ben
| asked how the operators will be advised
| in view of the fact that the latter have
| repeatedly said they would not recog-
nize the union President Mitchell Will
not discuss that phase of the question
and none of the labor leaders will ven.
ture an opinion.
| That the present convention will not
come to definite conclusion is the gen.
eral opinion tonight. 1t is the opinion
of several leaders that the convention
| as at present constituted is little un.
| Wleldly. There is movement on foo
today having for it's object the submis.
sion of the various propositions as they
are suggested by the delegates to a
committee appointed by the convention
for consideration. this committee to re.
port to either this or a second conven
tion. This movement, however, did MOI
gain much of start. Some of the dele
gates think that the whole subject
should be left in the hands of the ma.
| tional officers, as hinted by President
| Mitchell in his brief remarks just be.
fore the convention went into secret
session. Mr.. Mitchell is very popular
among the miners, as was shown by tn,
enthusiasm displayed as he delivered
his opening address.

HAVE SPECIAL Delivery
PRIVILEGE HONOLULUANS HAVE
OVERLOOKED.
The Post Office Has Stock of Special
Delivery Stamps and No One Comes
After Them.

The People of Honolulu do not sem to
have found out yet that the special de-
livery system in vogue in American
post offices now applies here, according
to the post office. There are very few
special delivery stamps called for.
Louis Kanake stated this morning
that the public so far had made almost
no use of the special delivery system
here, though it is ready for public use.
Mail of all kinds, first second third
or fourth class will be delivered at once
If the necessary special delivery stamp,
in addition to the usual postage is af-
fixed" said Mr.. Kanake. This Is some
thing to which the public here is not
accustomed, and people do not seem to
know about it, so that they are often
put to a lot of trouble to get letters
delivered, when they could simply but
on a ten cent stamp and have letters
sent out without any delay, through
the post office"

THE SCRIMNAGE FOR LOOT
BARGAIN HUNTERS RUSHING To
PEKING.
The Whole City Given Up to Trade in
the Plunder of the Captured Place
Little of Value.

TlEN-TSIN, September 7.-Lured by
the prospect of rich bargains and loot
large numbers of buyers are reaching
Peking and Tien-tsin from Shanghai
and other cities in the south. Most of
them are acting under cable instruc-
tions from dealers in America and Eu-
rope, the most exaggerated reports hav-
ing been spread of the value of the
plunder in the sacking of these two
north of China cities
In every by street and in the en-
virons of the camps soldiers of all the.
powers gather in little groups bartering
the spoils of war. 1t is all done very
quietly, and apparently is winked at
by those in authority. These little ex-
temporized baZaars are extremely pic
| tureSque. Japs, Americans, French
men, Zikhs, Russians, soldiers of every
flag, gather in eager groups, while civil
ian traders and curio-seekers haggle
with them over prices in true Oriental
fashion.
By far the richest loot procured was
silver bullion in sice as the helmet
| shaped ingots are termed. These are
worth about 20 taels each or bullion
value of from $40 to $50 gold. Each
bears the imperial stamp on the under
| face, and they are the standard of value
! for the Chinese currency. 1t is under
stood that the American force, which
captured the mint, secured about $780,
600 in sice, which is being held intact

SAILOR marrow ESCAPE
SECOND MATE OF THE EDWARD
MAY INJURED.
A Sack of Grain Falls on Him From
a Sling Aloft-Almost Fatal Acct
dent.

Second mate VIE of the bark Edward
May nearly lost his life at Irmgard
wharf this morning while at work in
the hold discharging cargo. sack
of grain fell on him from aloft. He was
removed 20 the hospital with his left
leg broken and with severe bruises
about the shoulder and hip.
The sack of grain fell out of sling
as it was being hoisted from the hold
VIE had charge of the gang OF men be-
low and he was standing below the
sling when the sack fell out. 1t just
grazed his head as it fell on him, strik-
ing his shoulder and knocking him
down. The weight broke his leg.
A few inches difference in the line OF
the sacks fall would have meant death
for Vie. If his head had been square
ly struck, the heavy sack would have
broken his neck instantly.
