CAUSES A PROTEST.
Pistol Makers in America Aroused
: Over German Order.
Declare They Have Weapon Equal to
Foreign Firearm--Wanf Merits Of
Two Pistols Tested-Whht Il
Claimed for German Pistol

The decision of the war department
TO purchase 1000 automatic pistols of
German manufacture has aroused a
spirited protest from the American
makers Of similar type Of weapon.
One company. whose pistol was recon-
mended by army ordnance officers, has
written the secretary Of war that ii
has a pistol which is equal 10 the for
eign weapon and asks that the device
be submitted to a test in competition
with the German pistol. The practical
adoption Of the foreign pistol is re-
suit OF row between the ordnance Of
fieers and members of the board of ord
nance and fortlteation. The former
favor the American pistol and the lat-
ter, headed B, Gen. Miles favor the
German pistol
The latter. Il is claimed, is capable Of
dischnrping li6 bullets a minute az n
high initial velocity. but The makers Of
the American pistol claim for Il equal
or superior points Of merit. The Ger
man weapon Is named for It's inventor,
George Lueer. a former officer IN the
Austrian army. and S made by e.e Ger
man arms and ammunition factory
and the Fahrique Rationale of Military
Arms in Belgium. This concern has
manufactured about 100000 Mauser
rifles FOR Europeln nasinns- and has
also brought out several AZ oes Of auto
matte pistols.
II. Tauscher, o representative Of the
company. said that the new pistol was
the result of item years experiment.

Judge Bennett, in speaking to the grand

CAN PUT DOWN ROBBERS.
Cause Of Won Waldersee's Agreement
With Ii Hung Chang.

Berlin, March Tt was asserted to-
day by a high authority that Count
Won WaIdersee's agreement wi.n Ii
Hung Chang was in response to i'm
portant steps already taken by the
Chinese government to meet the de-
mands of the powers and upon rep
reservations to the powers that the
Chinese regular troops were now able
to put down the robbers.
However, the official who made this
explanation emphasized the fact that
the agreement was only tentative and
that Count Won Waldersee had by no
means laid down his authority in IA
vor of the Chinese government.
According to the Chinese statements
received officially in Berlin, the court
will move about the end of Htarch to
some point nearer Pekin. Germany
does not know whether this includes
the empress dowager.

KITCHENER REPORTS
HEAVY FIGHTING

Larey's forces, fighting continued all
day long The garrison consists of 200
yeomanry and $50 Northumberland
fusiliers with two guns. Major Flet-
cher and Lieutenant Hull are reported

Whatever negotiations are proceeding
in PretOria-and Mr.. Kruger declares
they can only be for an arnistice-the
government evidently has no intention
of slaCkening reinfOrcements. The war
office issued detailed statement last
evening of transports that are to sail
for South Africa within the coming
week with 10000 troops.
The casualty list reveals the fact that
two officers were killed at Lichtenberg
March 4. Lord Kitchener's telegram,
Am sending reinfOrcements,' was
dated March 6, evidently, therefore,
the fighting continued for some days
and further advices are awaited with
anxiety.
According to the Daily Mails dis

CLAIMS FOR DAMAGES
ARE EXTORTIONATE
How Ministers Will Arrange
Indemnities in China.
ONLY STRICT JUSTICE
NEGOTIATIONS MAY BE COM
PLETED IN TWO MONTHS.

Pelxin, March THE ministers COM
mittee has completed its report and
the general principle to be adopted in
cases of indemnities is based upon laws
in harmony with the Roman and Eng
lish system. This decision was not
reached without considerable discus
sion, some believing that the claims Of
men of good reputation should be paid
in full without further consideration
On the other hand, a case was men
toned where man of high repute
claims $4,000 each for his own, his
wife's and his daughters nerves, and
$40, 900 for property destroyed, whereas
it is known that the latter estimate is
more than thrice the value of all.
The negotiations, Mr.. Rockhill says,
are going on well and he sees no rea-
son why they should not be completed
in two months, with the exception of
the commercial treaties, which viii
probably take a long time.
General Chaffee replied to General
Yin Tschang's letter sent him by Count
structions to the American troops,
when any detachments were sent
against robbers and Boxers, to obtain
to the fullest extent possible the as
sistance of Chinese officials in making
arrests and Furnishing the guilty.
Regarding indemnity for losses sus-
tanned by missionaries and native
Christians, General Chaffee pointed
out that his sentiments were we'll
known to the American missionaries;
that he was opposed to eXtOrtiOn in
every form and that he favored strict
justice in every case,. and that, there
fore, he would agree quickly to his
exceIlency's proposition that the in
IDENTITIES Sir Robert Hart had men
toned should be settled by the diplo-
matiStS.
Count Won WalderSee will leave soon
for Tsin Tau, the trip probably ex-
tending to Shanghai. He says he ex-
poets to return to Pekin temporarily.
1t is asserted that China has decided
to delay her answer to Russia regard
ing the Manchurian convention for a
! fortnight.

SENATE FAILED TO ACT.
Discussion as to Reciprocity Treaties
With Foreign Nations.

Washington, March THE foreign
representatives interested in the reci-
procity treaties pending in the senate
are in communication with their gov
ernments as to the course to be pIir-
sued since the senate has failed to act
upon them With most of them the
view prevails that they expired at the
end of the regular session. This is
so with various treaties with Great
Britain covering the British West In
dies possessions, Barbados. Bermuda
and Guiana, and its colonial authOri-
ties in each case have been made
aware of the fact that no action was
expected.
In case there is renewal of nego-
tiatiOnS regarding f, West Indian
colonies they are not Ilkely to be taken
UP before next autumn in time for the
regular session of the senate. The
French treaty is not held to iDe among
those which expired with the congress,
as the French ambassador NJ. Cambon.
and the American reciprocity commits
siOner, MIR. KasSOn, had previously con-
cluded written agreement extending
the time within which ratification
could be made until the 18th of the
present month.
It is usual for the executive branch
to make such extension, and in this
case the extension OF the Franco
American treaty is said to be opera
tive without reference to what the
senate may do at the special session
in extending the time for ratification.
1t is expected that further action will
be taken either in the executive
branch or in the senate which will per
init the treaty to be considered at the
next regular session of the senate.
Several other important treaties in
Guiding those with Italy and Russia.
have not been concluded owing to the
inaction on the French treaty.
