READY TO ENTER SHANSI.
German Troops Reach the Pass
Ieadina. TO the Province

PEKIN. April 2A-The Germans have
already reached the pass into the Prov
ince Of Shansi but have not met any
Chinese troops. The natives here are
much stirred up over this movement as
they fear a further advance Of the Ger
mans and French and a renewal OF hos
tiIities.
Three officials who are assisting Il
Hung Chang in the negotiations conferred
with the IRiJish German French and
japanese Ministers, who told them that
the amount Of the indemnity claims would
reach G650O 600 by the end of June If
matters were not settled by that time.

op Favier represented the French Catholic
missions. Rev. Mr.. owen the British
Protestant missions. and the Rev. Dr.
Tewksbury the American Board. The
meeting was an Informal one The points
established were three
First. Chinas Willingness to indemnify
native converts for any losses they may
have sustained if arrangements to that
end have not already been made.
Second. that an attempt would be made
10 meet all losses sustained by the mis-
sions outside Pehn.
Third. that it would be impossible for
the local authorities to meet the losses
sustained by missionaries and converts in
Pezin itself Such an arrangement is
very satisfactory. though it viii afford
the officials a chance for exacting com
missions.
In making an estimate Of their losses the
Rev DR.. TewksbUry presented list Of

NATURAL GAS FAILING.
Indications That the Wells in Indi-
ana Are Giving Out.

RICHMOND. Ind. April 24-G c
Leach, the State Gas Inspector, states
that the rapid decrease in pressure that
has been noted on all pipe lines the past
winter is a certain Indication that the
days OF natural gas are numbered. Scores
OF wells. drilled the past winter IN the
belt, which at first showed strong pres
sures, were practically useless within
ninety days Mr.. Leach says his only
work now is directed toward keeping
down the waste Of fuel IN order that the
States resources in this respect may be
preserved as long as possible. Many fac
tories viii be able to use gas fol. some
time, but there are others that already
are experimenting with fuel gas and ex-
celIent results have been obtained Mr.
Leach ooes not think the manufacturing
interests of the State viii be affected Sc
riousIy, as the change is coming gradu-
ally.

the Field on That EsIand-Yisit of
the Americans to CntbRIoEHn Pre-
ccded By Vigorous Attack
MANILA. April 24-It Is probable
that there wiz be Zee civil government
established IN the Island Of Samar for
some time to come as the Taft Com
mission has found that matters there
are far from promising.
The Commission went to the island
with tf2a intention of organizing civil
rule. as it had done elsewhere. but left
suddenly without accomplishing its
purpose The members learned that
there were fully six hundred insurgents,
all Of whom are supplied with rifles,
yet out there and that the Filipinos in
dicate no desire to come in and give up
their weapons
There are forty towns in Samar and
only seven of them are garrisoned by
American troops Seven companies Of
the First Infantry and enc light battery
are performing the military services
demanded.
When the members of the Commfs-
sion were in Samar they were met by
representatives from the seven garTi-
soned towns who asked that military
detachments be sent to the remaining
thirty-three which are practically IN
guarded.
The Commission promised TO ask for
an increased military force on its re
turn to Manila, and it is believed that
the troops in Samar will be largely in
creased within a short time.
Just before the arrival Of the mem
hers of the Taft Commission at Catba-
logan yesterday a large body OF insuT-
gents fired into the place from the hills
and caused great excitement among the
inhabitants The firing resulted in no
damage and a body Of troops went out
this morning To pursue and capture the
Insurgents
During the past few days the Philip
pine Commission has received numer-
Gus indications that there are many
Filipinos who have not yet been sub
dued and seem TO have no intention of
giving Up to the Americans Not lit
tie uneasiness has been caused by the
discovery Of the condition of affairs in
Samar. and II is understood that the
Commission viii recommend an imme-
diate and active campaign in that isl
and for the purpose Of suppressing the
large number Of rilemen now in con-
troll Of the situation outside Of the

LUMBER WILL ADVANCE,
Demand Is Increasing and Stocks
Are Getting Smaller. sR4r


Dealers in white Pine lumber make the
announcement that prices will advance
within the next six weeks The demand
is strong and steadily increasing. and
stocks are low. Many grades are off the
market entirely, and it will be two
or three months before the new lumber
can be marketed.
Lumber shipments in the white pine
territory for the first three months of
this year were 16 per cent in advance of
those of the same period last year. While
the roads in the country are not In the
best of condition in April, and that al
ways affects the, demand, the shipments
for this month have held up well with
those of March. This spring has seen
remarkably good trade and there is ev-
cry indication that it will be continued.
Western cities have big building plans
which mean the consumption of q large
amount OF material. ST. Paul Is one OF
them, and it is certain that, if the labor
troubles do not stop the work, the de-
mand for. lumber locally will be the
greatest in the history OF the CITY.

have the same premises to make
The Northern Minnesota mills raised the
price Of lumber from SOC to 81 per thou
Eeeting Of the mill owners of Crookston
Grand Forks, Thief River Falls, st.
Hilaire, and other mill towns in that
section. The poor crop in the wheat
country last year forced the northern
mills to discount the list to a certaI, ex-
tent but the condition Of the lumber
market generally this spring enables the
mill owners TO advance the price by
doing away with the discounts.
