Japan Will be Given Certain Concessions Because of Her
 High Interest Rate SOLDIERS ID BE WITHDRAWN
Special Commissioner RockhilI Acting for the United States Agrees to a Higher Tariff Under
 Certain Conditions.

Pekin, June 16.-The foreign ministers say that although yesterdays meeting did not result in the settlement of mat ters, still things are working most satis- factorily toward a conclusion, and that the amount of the indemnity and the 4 per cent. rate of interest were almost agreed upon the only hitch being with re- gard to Japan, which country cannot bor- row money under per cent. It is the de- sire on the part of most of the ministers to arrange this satisfactorily, as 1t is felt that Japan deserves special consideration. The probability is that bonds will be given sufficient to cover the loss.
 Special Commissioner Rockhill, on be- half of the United States, has agreed to add 5 per cent. to the tariff. provided China would agree to the widening and dredging of the Shan Si Pei Ho rivers, and also to certain tarifl reforms.
 The ministers consider it certain that everything will be ended before July. All of the troops except the legation guards will have left by the end of August
 The Germans tomorrow will turn over to the Chinese winter palace for prepara- tion for occupation by the court.
 The director of the Pao Ting Flu rail- road has been notified to have means of transportation ready to bring 5000 Chinese troops to Pekin.

IMPERIALISM IS
 THE TEMPTATION
Rev. Dr.. Grant Does Not Be- ieve in Cities Accepting Li-
 braries from Rich Men

New York, June 16.-At the baccalaure- ate services of the commencement exer- cises of the College of the City of New York today at the Church of the Ascen- sion the Rev. Dr. Percy Stickney Grant, the rector, delivered the sermon. He said among other things:
 '"The great temptation which l believe will beset your path Is materialism. We see about us men with immense wealth, one in possession of an hundred millions and other worth four hundred millions. We find a man giving libraries to a city which should be ashamed to receive them, when it knows his name must be written across the buildings which he gives. The same gives universities to country which never asked for anything in university education but an opportunity to earn 1t.
 Many of the men who have amassed great fortunes attach too much impor- tance to the rough and ready spirit which they believe to have aided them most ma terially MT. Schwab, we may conclude, has little confidence In education along higher lines as an assistance in business affairs. The men of millions have power. Wherever they throw the vast impulse of their capital the labors are accomplished. They have unlimited power. Young men see this and what is the result? They throw themselves like fagots into the fur mace of material production"

THE LONDON PAPERS.
They See Nothing Discouraging in Ac-
 cident to Australians.

London, June 1.-The morning papers say Lord Kitchener's report is the first accident of the kind that has happened to the Australian contingent, and it is supposed to be due to neglect of proper picketing. Although it Is offset by the defeat inflicted upon DeWet. the loss of the guns is regarded as a serious matter which will encourage the Boers to con- tinue the struggle. More or less fanciful reports are published on the continent of alleged peace negotiations, but there is nothing in them and nothing has come of the interview between Mrs. Botha and MT. Kruger beyond revealing the fact that MT. Kruger will listen to no pro- posals unless they are accompanied with a guarantee of the independence of the republics.
 The Daily Mails Capetown correspond ent says that Cecil Rhodes, speaking at Buluwayo. Saturday. predicted that a federation of South African states would come in three or four years; but he con tended that to grant self-government to the republics before federation would render federation possible.

THE MONEY SITUATION.
The London Statist Says There May
 be a Shortage of Gold. N

London, June 16.-The Statist says:
 The really important factor governing the value of money in London this au- the demand for money in the United States They are gathering an enormous wheat crop; exports during the coming year will be colossal. Our holdings of American securities are greatly reduced, and in the event of continuance of trade expansion in America, which appears cer- tain, we may be required to pay in gold for portion of our cotton and wheat. Hence, the American demand for gold will probably necessitate protective meas ures by the Bank of England in the au- tumn. If, however, money remains cheap in Paris the demand will partially be met therefrom.
 Discussing the huge production of gold in recent years, attended by the abnormal demand of several countries, compared with the entirely changed conditions in Russia, India and Japan, which are now releasing gold, the Statist remarks:
 Trade in the United States is ab- normally active and likely to be more active during the coming year than hith- erto and the demand for money in America is likely to greatly expand. Con sequently, it will have to be met by a greater stock of gold. But the worlds production Is more than sufficient to pro- vide the currency needs of America and the usual demands of the arts. The surplus must apparently flow into the banks of England, France and Germany. There is every reason to believe that the autumn demand will be met without difficulty. Thereafter the accumulation in the chief centers will result in easier money than witnessed for several years. If in the meanwhile the war Is ended and rand mining is resumed, the supply of gold is likely to be far in excess of the demand. We may regard the period of money stringency as practically past"

THE NEGROES IN
 AN UGLY MOOD
They Are Still Mad Over the Burning of Alexander at Lea
 venworth-Buying Arms

Leavenworth, Kan, June 16.-Consider- able excitement has been created by the unearthing of what appears to be a scheme of the negroes of Leavenworth to arm themselves with reyolvers purchased from soldiers at Fort Leavenworth. Ever since the burning of Fred Alexander, the negroes of Leavenworth have been in an ugly mood and conservative men say the race feeling stirred up at that time may break out any time. The police are do- ing everything possible to kill this feel ing and are assisting the officers at Fort Leavenworth to recover the revolvera It seems that the negroes had circulated the report among the soldiers at the fort that they would buy up all the government re- volvers offered and several of the soldiers took the opportunity of disposing of the government goods. Lieut.. F. L. Deen of Troop K finally set a trap for the ne- groes, instructing certain privates to of fer their weapons for see. Three ne- groes who bought them were arrested and are being held.

He is Charged With Misap- prOpTiating Proceeds from
 Sale of|ndustiaI Stock DEVENNY LAID 4 NICE TRAP
The Defendant is Member of the Ex ecutive Board of the U. s. Steel Corporation and Was
 Touring the Country.

Pittsburg, Pa, June 16.-Edmund c. Converse of the executive board of the United States Steel Corporation, former president of the National Tube Company, was arrested at Greensburg Junction Saturday afternoon. He was taken from the special train In which he has been touring the country for several weeks visiting the various plants of the billion dollar trust with a large party of the officials and arraigned at Greensburg where he was compelled to give bond for his appearance the first Monday in Sep tember.
 Converse was arrested on a writ is- sued by the Westmoreland court at tho suit of James L. Devenny of McKeesport, charging him with misappropriating the proceeds of the sale of S599 shares in -fhe central stock of the McKeesport, Du- quesne and wilmerding Streek Railway Company Devenny held the majority of stock in the road and several hundred shares in trust.
 He alleged that in February, 1896, Con- verse secured the stock from him, sold it for about $10O,0O0 and failed to account for the receipts. Although Devenny says he made repeated demands for his share of the money Converse has failed to re- spond Last January MT Sevenny began equity proceedings against the steel mag nate but Converse has kept himself out side the Jurisdiction of the Allegheny | County courts.
 On Saturday when he passed through McKeesport Devenny saw him and start | ed after him. Converse got out ofN-fhs city and over the line into West Moreland | County before Devenny could serve a writ on him. Devenny. knowing that Converse's special car would have to go through Greensburg to reach the main line of the Pennsylvania. took short cut to that town. secured Moorhead X Head as his attorneys, and when Converse's spe- cial train arrived at the junction, Deven- ny was waiting for him with the sheriff of West Moreland County and Constable Collins of McKeesport.
 The special train was not supposed to stop at the junction. but was Tagged by order of the sheriff. The party boarded the train and Converse. much to his sur prise, was placed under arrest. He went with the party to the office of Moore head & Head in Greensburg and fur nished bail for his appearance in the Westmoreland court on Monday Sep tember 2.
 The party travelling on the special train was composed of about twenty-five of the United tSates Steel Corporation They had travelled about two weeks and had been touring the country inspecting all the mills in the control of the com bine.

AMERICAN COMMERCE.
Trade With Russia Was Mostly in Agri-
 cultural Machinery.

Washington, June 16.-A comprehensive resume of the commerce of the United States with Russia and with Sweden during last year Is contained in the latest extract from the work entitled "commer- cial relations of the United States for 1900"
 Consul Heenan of Odessa says that an Interesting feature of the trade with Rus sia in 1900 was the demand for American agricultural machinery. This was nota- ply the case in Poland. The reason given was the scarcity of labor, owing to the aeavy emigration from that district dur ing late years
 Consul General Winsloy of Stockholm says the Swedes are the Yankees of Flu rope, and if their commercial friendship as cultivated our merchants will find there is a growing market for their supplies.
 The consul general notes that the thirty American locomotives that have been put on the State railways are meeting with great praise, and that the new engines under construction in the kingdom are patterned after them. More orders proba- bly will be placed in the United States.
