A SNUB FOR KRUGER.
German Emperor Declines to
Receive Him.
PLEADS PREVIOUS ARRANGEMENTS.
soer Statesman VIII Now Go Direct
to oHolland-German Press Accuses
Him of Having Encouraged
Useless Guerrilla Warfare.

BERLIN, Dec. 3. = Mr.. Kruger has
abandoned his proposed visit to Berlin
owing to the receipt of an official intima-
ton that Emperor William regrets that
in consequence of previous arrangements
he will be unable to receive him. The
Boer statesman will therefore proceed di-
rect from Cologne for Holland. He tele-
graphed to this effect yesterday.
The Cologne Gazette in an inspired
communication says: "Mr. Kruger's visit
is not agreeable to Germany, his aim be-
ing to obtain Intervention in South Afri-
ca. 1t would be a grave political mis-
take, it would be even great crime, to
allow him to entertain even spark of
hope that Germany will render him any
practical support"
This declaration is accompanied with
reproaches, Mr.. Kruger being charged
with '.having encouraged a useless guer-
rilla warfare and having disregarded
Germany's advice when he might still
have followed it," The press generally
strikes the same note.

unite with the Democrats will react
upon those who attempt this guerrilla
style of politics, and will in the end
help to cement the regular Republican
forces.
The leaders of the stalwart element
in the party have been working quietly
and thoroughly, and are fully acquaint-
ed with what is going on in both the
insurgent and the Democratic camps,
and they have nothing to fear from the
outcome Of the conspiracy of so-called
Republicans with the Guffey Demo-
Gratis.
VACANCY IN THE HOUSE.
The death of Representative William
F. Stewart, of this city, on Saturday
last leaves a vancancy in the house
which cannot be filled before the or
ganization Of the legislature, although
it is possible special election may be
held in time to have his successor vote
on the United States senatorship. The
late Representative Stewart, who was
the father of the house." was follow
er of David Martin and co-operated
with the insurgents. He was counted
upon to do so again, had he lived His
death leaves but 2O3 members in the
house, and of this number 102 is a
majority, which is the vote necessary
TO elect speaker.
With a full house of 204 votes, 103
votes are required to elect the speaker
and other officers.
While the friends of Hon. w. T.
Marshall, of Allegheny, who will be
the Republican caucus nominee for
speaker, had no doubt of his election
Mr. CtoXUopt'c dnoth hal he
vote been close this vacancy might
have had an important bearing on the
situation. This means a loss of one
vote for the insurgents and gain OF
one for the regulars.
AS soon as special election shall
be held a stalwart Republican will un.
doubtedly be elected to succeed the
late Mr.. Stewart.

A MISSION WIPED OUT.
Fearful Slaughter Of Chris
tians In Shansi Province.
TREACHEROUS GOVERNOR THELEADER
bishops, Priests and Nuns. With Two
Hundred Orphans, Put to Death
by Chlnese-HOrrible In
dignities Suffered.

BERLIN, Dec. A special dispatch
from China to the Cologne Nolks Zeitune
reports a fearful mission slaughter IN the
province of Shansi. The first victims,
the dispatch says, were Catholic bishop
and his coadjutor and four European
priests, Franciscans, Italians and French.
The governor invited them to his house,
pretending to give them better protec-
tion, but when they arrived their hands
were tied. Then the governor himself
poniarded them all.
Then the governor went to the bishop $
residence with number of soldiers and
seized six Marseilles sisters. He prom
iscd them money and distinguished nus
bands if they renOunced Christianity,
Witch they unanimously rejected.
Thereupon the governor poniarded them
and also number Of Chinese priests, ~
Chinese sisters and POO orphans from )
to l6 years of age.
Fifteen seminarists who had hidden
themselves in cistern were, the dis
patch adds, tied to stakes and forced to
drink the blood of the first victims. They
were then killed.
A Chinese priest and two Christians
who attempted to escape were cut to
pieces and put in small hut. where they
were burned.
All the foreign ENJOYS have now heard
from their governments regarding the
joint note to the Chinese plenipotentia-
ries and meeting will be held tomor-
row. The envoys are not communicative.
bat enough is known with reference to
the objections of different governments to
make it seem doubtful that the meeting
will have a satisfactory conclusion.
Prince Ching and Ii Hung Chang both
say that they are anXiously awaiting the
demands of the powers. They declare
that China desires peace at any price
commensurate with the dignity of an in
dependent nation, but they point out that
50 long as large foreign army occupies
the province of Chilli the problem will be
hnrlnr to solve

A Big H.sul of Bolomen.

MANILA. Dec. 3.-Twelve hundred
bolomen entered Nigan. island OF Luzon
and surrendered to Captain Green of the
Thirty-third infantry. This is the largest
number of men who have yet surrender
ed in Luzon at one time. General Tinio
has been keeping swarm of bolomen
along the mountains, and they have i'm
poverished the food supply and cut etl
the leaders of the Tagalogs, but a con
siderable number of the llocanos, who
had become lukewarm, believed that the
surrender would hasten the collapse OF
General Tinio's power.

observatory Stripped - Instruments =
to He Sent to Europe.

TIEN-TSIN, Dec. 2.-Protests and re-
quests have been forwarded to Field
Marshal Count Won Waldersee by the
representatives of the powers urging the
prevention of the removal of Astronomical
instruments from the observatory at Pc
king. Most of the principal instruments
have been prepared for shipment and
labeled for Berlin or for Paris
The Chinese themselves do not protest
because, as members of LII Hung Chang 5
staff put it, their. objections would be
useless, as whatever they say or do in
the way of protest only elicits uncivil
treatment.
The observatory is universally recog
n;zed us one of the most interesting sights
in Picking. Most of the instruments now
out of place arc over 100 years old. Many
of them are magnificent bronzes and. al
though not of modern type, can still be
uesd for the purposes of astronomical
observation.

Kruger In Cologne.

COLOGNE. Dec. 3.-Thousands of
people waited yesterday in the vicinity of
the Cathedral hotel to catch glimpse of
Mr. Kruger who, when replying to the
deputation of Bonn students in the after
noon, described the educational progress
of the Transvaal, thanked the students
for their kind welcome and shook hands
with each. Afterward he appeared upon
the balcony, where he was loudly cheered
from below. Having rested for half an
hour he went into the vestibule of the
hotel, which was crowded with visitors.
1t is expected that Mr.. Kruger will re-
main here until Wednesday.

NO DEWEY ARCH.
Committee For n Permanent Struc-
ture Disbands.

NEW YORK, Dec. 4.-By vote of 10
to 3 the executive committee of the citi-
zens' committee for perpetuating the ma
val arch, or Dewey arch as it was origi-
nally called, decided to disband and to re-
turn to the subscribers the money collect
ed for the project. The abandonment Of
the plan is due to the lack of interest dis
played by the public.
Before voting to disband the committee
considered and rejected three PROPOSE
tions which had been submitted. One of
these was from the Henry Bonnard
Bronze company, which made an offer to
build the entire arch on its own RESPONSE
blity under the supervision of the com
mittee. The funds necessary to carry on
the work would be collected by the firm
under a special contract with the com
mittee. AS compensation the firm want
ed 10 per cent of the money collected
other than the amount which had been
raised by The committee.
