Tien Tsin, March 19.-The excitement
and anxiety here as to the possible de-
velopments of the Anglo Russian sid
ing dispute doenot abate. A company
of British troops and company of
Russian soldiers remain .encamped on
either side of the trench, looking at
each other The Russians have orders
to fire on any one commencing work
General Wogack says the trouble was
caused by the understandable interfer-
ence of the British in the affairs of the
Russian concession, and he adds that
the siding will not be continued unless
he receives orders from his own supe-
riOrs
Field Marshal Won Waldersee is eX-
pected here today. Both sides viii
appeal to him, bIU they both consider
the matter 10 be beyond his authority,
and viii await orders from Europe.
Speaking OF the attack made by a
number OF excited French soldiers on
some members of the British Sikh reg
iment Sunday in the French cOnceS-
sion, General Lorne-Campben says it
was merely a childish outbreak against
the orders of their own general, who
had forbidden the French soldiers to
enter the British concession. This or
der followed a request made by Gen
eral Lorne-Campbel after almost every
.
havior of the French in insulting
women, refusing to pay for purchases,
acting riotOusly and abusing English
soldiers.
General Voyron, the French COM
mander, recognized that this must GtOp,
and ordered the French soldiers to keep
in their own concession. General Lorne-
! Campbell was perfectly satisfied that
General VoyrOn was in harmony with
I himself and anxious to maintain order.
Major Foote ninth United states in
fantry) says the French soldiers were
frequently abusive to the American
troops who were unsrmed while out on

General Voyron says there IS no Trle-

Threaten to Commit Murder
Demanded Less Work and Better Food But,
From Hunger, They Surrendered.

LeavenwOrth. Kan, March 19.-In
the Kansas state penitentiary coal
mine at Lansing, 2S4 prisoners prison
ers who went down into the mine on
Monday morning have mutinIed and
are holding fifteen guards as host
ages. They refuse to let the guards
come to the surface until Warden Tom
Hnson promises to give them Letter
food, and threaten 10 kill the guards
if their demands are not complied with.
The mines are run by the worst class
of prisoners in the penitentiary, and
among those who have mucinied are
twenty life prisoners Warden Tom
linson has refused to grant the re
quests of the convicts.
Many complaints have bean MADE at
the penitentiary by the prisoners be
cause of the grade of food furnished
them and to this dissatisfaction have
been allegations of mis- treatment The
first trouble was displayed last night,
when the miners who had entered the
mine in the morning refused 10 come

The mouth of the shaft of the coal

one of the guards at noon today. stat

Trouble With Russia.
London, March 1s.-Some of the
afternoon papers say the Tien Tsin
difficulties have been arranged The
misunderstanding was due to the Chi
nese authorities granting the same con-
cesSion to two nations.
The arrangement enables Great Brit
ain to proceed with the construction
of the railroad siding, but If Russia s
concession proves to be earlier than
that of Great Britain, the latter Is to
acknowledge the claims of Russia
The foreign Office. however. has no
information tending to confirm the an
nouncements of an arrangement cav
ing been made, and officials are rather
inclined to doubt that such an arrange

original concession was given UP by
Russia

scum expresses the opinion that there
is only one way to stop Russian ag-
erosion in China, and that is for 1.-The

Lord George Hamilton, secretary for
India, replying 10 a question in the

PRISONERS GIVE UP.
Succumbed to Hunger and Are Land
ed in Cells.


Leavenworth, Kan, March 19.-The
instruction of the convict miners in
the state shaft at Lansing was brought
to a close at II 80 tonight, and the mu-
tinous convicts are being placed in
their cells as fast as they can be
brought to the surface. The impris-
oned guards have been released and
are again above the surface.
Shortly after nightfan the warden
and every available officer gathered
around the mouth of the mine. each
man heavily armed. Hunger had be-
gun to tell upon the mutinous con-
VictS and they began to parley with
the warden. They sent him word that
if he would promise not TO infiict pun
ishment for their action they would
surrender and come up. To this the
warden would not consent, sending
down word that the surrender must be
unconditional, the question of punish
ment to be considered later
As the night wore on the warden held
a consultation with his officers and it
was decided to attempt to rescue the
guards and also to overawe the con
victs and force their surrender. Select
ing his men the warden with seven or
eight guards heavily armed entered
the hoist and were soon speeding
downward. When near the bottom of
the pit heavy fusillade was opened
tne shots being fired toward the top OF
the shaft.
This took the convicts by surprise
and thinking that the shots were in
tended for them, they hastily fled
leaving the guards who were soon
joined by their comrades, after which
they were sent. to the top. The armed
guards then started after the convict
and soon had the ringleaders under ar
rest when the others gave in and sur
rendered. Then the work of taking
them TO the surface began and before
morning the convicts will again be be-
hind the bars of their cells.

This guard was left in charge of

joining division and spread the revolt
and called on the conYicts to join. The
cOnvictS were. soon marching through
the mine from one division to another

men generally offered no opposition to

SO far as can be learned, no Opposi-

If so, it is Time to Arrange.
The question as to whether Denison
will celebrate the Fourth of July this
year or, not, is being asked daily on our
streets. If it is the desire to cei ebrate
it is time active steps were being taken.
Last year the celebration was turned
over to other towns in the county, and
we believe that it is Denison's turn
this year to entertain the people.
Better; facilities for taking care of
everyone are not to be found anywhere.
Ample, shade, plenty Of water, a good
hall. baseball grounds, etc, all are at
our command. 1t is really Denison IS
duty to give entertainment to the peo-
pie of the county at least once in two
years, and July Fourth is just the day.
Start the movement going.
