KEEPING UP NEGOTIATIONS.
Russian Diplomacy Persists In Urging
Manchurian Agreement.


St Petersburg, April 3.-The super
ior councillor Of the Chinese legation,
Chu We ,Jte, is continuing the nego-
tiations as charge d'affaires regard
ing the Manchurian agreement. The
ILLNESS of the Chinese minister, Yang
Yu. is now admitted to be due to
apoplexy, which will incapacitate
him from work, probably for a long
period. 1t is said that the less of
half his estate through the destruc-
tion Of Chinese bank, combined
with political cares, is undermining
his health.
Unofficial observers scarcely under
stand how a doubt can possibly be
entertained abroad that China will
ultimately accept the Russian condi-
tions after it is apparent that no power
Is willing to foroibly support China.
For, as 1t is urged. while Russia un-
doubtedly prefers to carry through its
plans as made, its diplomatic position
would suffer as little as it's military
position from China's refusal to ac.
cept what Russia regards as moderate
conditions Of withdrawal

AIR SHIP THAT FLIES.
Unusual Success for an Aerial Machine on
It's Trial Trip.


London, April 1.-UnuSual success
has attended the trial trip of a new
aerial machine sent up in the Crystal
palace. The balloon, which is cigar
shaped. scared up in Il spiral course
like a pigeon preparatory to it's
straight flight. 1t was navigated in
the large concert hall by a series of
short tacks, going at sharp tan
gent on an oblique or spiral course
whenever required. In short it was
most obedient model.
The completed machine will be 100
feet by 80 in diameter, inflated with
hydrogen, and having a lifting power
of 1000 pounds. 1t will take crew
of five men-a captain and four
motormen In still weather speed
of 35 miles an hour is guaranteed for
the invention, which is that of M.
| Guadron, Frenchman.
It's screws, four in number. are sus-
pended from a bar which is hung on
the cigar balloon, with the old method
of movable weight to keep the body
straight or cause it to rise or fall.
Four petroleum motors of ten horse
power each will be used. The screws
make 1000 revolutions minute.
They are six feet long and two feet
wide

ary Observation-Disclosures Sends News.
Washington, April 3.-Secretary Root
made public the following cablegram
received at the war department:
Manlla.-Adjutant General, Washington:
Since arrival at Manila Aguinaldo has been
at Malacanan, investigating conditions in
archipelago. He has relied almost en-
tirey upon the instructive advice of Chief
Justice Arclano. AS a result today he
subscribed and swore. to the declaration on
page IL of my annual report.
MACARTHUR.
The oath referred to is as follows:
l hereby renounce all allegiance to any
and all so-called revolutionary govern
ments in the Philippine islands and recog-
nize and accept the supreme authority of
| the United States of America therein. | do
| solemnly swear that will bear true faith
and allegiance to that government; that l
will at all times conduct myself as faith
| full and abiding citizen of the said
Islands, and will not, either directly or in
directly, hold correspondence with or give
| intelligence to enemy Of the United
States. will l abet. harbor or protect
such enemy: that I impose upon myself
these voluntary obligations without any
! mental reservations or purpose OF evasion,
| so help me God"
Notwithstanding the taking Of the
oath by Aguinaldo he still will be held
prisoner by General Macarthur 1t
is possible he may be granted more
liberty of action, but he will not be
afforded complete freedom for the
present. The action of Aguinaldo
in taking the oath, it is believed at
the war department, will have fal
reaching effect on the pacification OF
the islands.
Manila, April Interest in the cap
ture and fate of Aguinaldo is well nigl
overshadowed in Manila by sensational
developments, present and prospective
of frauds in the commissaly depart
ment. How widely these extend ha:
not yet been ascertained, but enough
is known to justify the belief tina
they are far reaching.

WILL MEET ON FRIDAY.
Executive Committee to Consider
Chairmnn's Resignation.

The Democratic Executive Commit
tee of the county will meet in the City
Court room, at the Court House, next
Friday afternoon at $50 O'Clock. The
call for the meeting was issued yester-
day by Mr.. A. l.. Alexander. secretary
of the committee.
The called issued by the secretary
says that the meeting will be held ITO
receive and act upon the resignation of
Mr.. T. M. Cunningham, Jr.. chairman,
and for the consideration of such other
business as may properly be brought
before the committee"
As has already been stated in the
Morning News, a strong effort will be
made in the committee to induce the
withdrawal of Mr., Cunningham's
resignation, and failing that, the COM
mittee will probably decline it. unless
the chairman is able to offer stronger
reasons than he has yet adduced for
his action.
Members of the committee do not
feel that the fact that there may be a
primary, to determine who shall be the
Democratic nominee for ordinary, held
during MIR. Cunningham's absence from
the city, makes his resignation at all
necessary, and they consider him of too
great value to the people of the county
and to the party, in the position he
now holds, to contemplate his resigna-
ton other than with feelings of dsap-
pointment and regret.
What plans the friends of the several
candidates for ordinary have made for
their conduct at the meeting of the
Executive Committee are not being
| disclosed. 1t is altogether probable,
however, that the committee will be
asked to call a Democratic primary to
select a candidate for ordinary, and
as most of the candidates want a pri-
mary held. If it can be held under rules
that will insure an honest ballot and
fair count, with equal and exact JUS
tice to all in the race, II is about as
probable that the primary will be
