BULGARIA ON DEFENSIVE.
Hampers Dickinson, Evidently to Pre-
vent Miss Stones Surrender on
BULGARIAN Soil.

Sofia, Bulgaria, Nov. 9.-The gov.
ernment caused the arrest Of man
who was visiting United States Con.
sui General Dickinson and searched
him, presumably thinking he was an
emissary of the brigands, and expect.
ing to seize a communication from or
to Miss Ellen M. Stone, the American
missionary. The man was subse
quently released, This action Of the
authorities was Seemingly a deliber.
ate attempt to frighten delegates who
might visit Mr.. Dickinson, and thus
prevent negotiations from taking
place in Bulgarian territory. The at
titude of the authorities hampers Mr..
Dickinson, as the brigands refuse to
treat in Turkey.

IL, Before Death, Quar-
relied With Russia.
JAPAN IS AHEAD
Has Induced Southern viceroys
To Petition the Empres
Dowaser Against
the Treaty.

Pekin, Nov. 9.-The diplomatic
events preceding the death of Ii
Hung Chang enabled apan for a
moment to frustrate the designs of
Russia. A fortnight ago the Japan
ese legation secured reliable outline
of the terms of the treaty, and there.
upon demanded that the Chinese plen-
ipotentiaries officially lay before them
the text, basing this demand upon
the allegation that japanese interests
were involved In any change Of the
status Of Manchuria.
The Chinese plenipotentiaries re.
fused 10 comply with the demand
Thereupon the Japanese government
from Toxic communicated with the
southern viceroys and induced them
to use thoir influence with the EN-
press dowager against the treaty. In
the meantime the empress dowager
instructed Ii Hung Chang to com
municate the treaty, after certain
notifications, to the ministers of the
powers, and, If they did not object
to sign the same.
II Explained Instructions.
Ii Hung Chang visited M. Lessar
ohu SApiiihOu w MN thS ihoSi
The Russian minister strongly oh
jected to revealing the text of the
treaty to the ministers of the other
powers, and stormy interview en-
sued. Ii Hung Chang went home In
a violent passion and had a hemor
rhage, which the doctors attribute to
the overexertion of weakened sys
tenn.
While these things were happening
in Pekin the southern viceroys sent
to the empress dowager a memorial
against the treaty. On receiving II
she telegraphed to Ii Hung Chang
countermanding the order to sign.
This instruction came after Ii
Hung Chang had become unconscious
When M. Lessar endeavored to have
Ii Hung Chang's seal affixed to the
treaty, Chou Flu, provincial treasurer
had arrived from Pao Ting. Flu had
taken charge of the seals as the tenn.
porary successor of Earl Ii.

Callahan was then held on a charge

The Recomm NJ dation Governor
Nash Will Make in His
Message TO the
Legislature.

Columbus, Nov. 8.-Governor Nash
is expected to embody in his next mes
sage a recommendation that the excise
law be so extended as to raise sufficient
money to make it unnecessary to levy
state tax upon general property ex-
cept for school purposes.
The wiping out of state tax on gen.
eral property is practically what the
last Republican state platform declar-
ed for. The tax that will be wiped out
Il the plan is inaugurated, would amount
to IA mills which produces $2,500, 900
of revenue. ,1-

Attempt Will Be Made
to Pass Law.
METzGER SELECTED
To Introduce the New Measure
s at tho Coming Session
Of tho General
Assembly.

Columbus, Nov. S.-An attempt will
be made by the Anti-Saloon league to
get ward option bill, drafted after
the fashion of the Clark bill, through
the next legislature. That has already
been decided upon. Already canvass
Is being made and 1t is said that a
number of Republican leaders have sig
nified an intention to aid In every pos
sible way. Generally, the Republican
politicians that are wise and have no
steel to sharpen, are In favor of TAX
ing Rev. Purley Baker at his word and
allowing the question to be called res
adjudicata on the result In Columbus,
where Clark himself was beaten for q
second term by about 1000 votes. It
was tacitly agreed that Franklin coun-
ty should be the test and with the de-
feat Of Clark the Anti-Saloon league
might be considered bound to
DROP HIS BILL.
1t can be presented In another form,
however, and 1t doubtless will be. It
has received bad throw-down, but it
will not be difficult to get legislator
to introduce new bill. In this con-
nection 1t Is said that Representative
Metzger of Stark county has practically
been decided upon to introduce the new
bill. II 1t is introduced by anybody
outside of Franklin county 1t will

was elected, is said to be favorable to
a bill Of that SORT The liquor interests
did not boom w. B. Dinune, but he
could not well be singled out without
creating confusion and he went through
with the others on the Democratic tick
ct. He may yet develop into a leader
to take Clark's place. But Metzger
was firm In the last legislature and
is AMBITIOUS
to get his name before the people, SO
he may insist upon Offering the meas
ure. 1t may pass the house, but may
meet the fate 1t cid two years ago, in
the senate. The return OF Senator VIII
helm is not relished by the Anti-Saloon
league, and 1t is expected that he will
lead the fight In the senate against any
temperance measure.

against Holster, who is ono of the

agreed during the campaign not to ap-
point Hoster again, In the event of his
reelection. So his head will come on

the desirability of assigning another

It has been the purpose of the state

Steel corporation, have been with
drawn from the registration of Cleve-

have gross registered tonnage of 49,

this port but 10000 less than that Of
Cleveland, now at the head of Ameri-
can cities in point of registration and
ownership Of shipping.
With the withdrawal of the Mime
sofa Steamship fleet, now registered
at Ashtabula, a SUPPORT of Cleveland,
and their entry here, which will occur
within the coming few days, this city
will be about $4,000 tons ahead of
that city and of the rest of the Unit

Duluth pay a tonnage tax amounting
to $4,000 year, half of which goes
to the state and half to the munich
pality of Duluth. Before the present
law was passed there was practically
no tonnage registered here.
