This order of the War Department
will be source of genuine regret to all
Columbians. The Arsenal is a thing
of beauty, and has been a great orna.
ment to the town-one in which our
citizens have pointed to with much
pride. The associations with the COM
mandants-in- charge and the officers and
men under them have always been of a
most pleasant nature, and we will all
regret to part with them.
just when, or in what manner the
property will be disposed of, is not vet
known.
The Arsenal was built some years ago
at large cost to the Government. the
citizens of Columbia contributing about
$4,000 for the purchase of the land,
1T the Government carries out its in.
tention@ as proposed, it would seem but
right that those who made the contri-
button should receive restitution.
Congressman Padgett, when seen this
afternoon, said that he would write inn
mediately to Secretary Boot and find
out precisely what the Government in
tended to do, and that he would then
take such steps in regard to the matter
as he thought best for his constituents.

SEPARATE TRIAL FOR KERR

New York, Jan. S.--Justice Dixon in the court of oyer and terminer in Pat erson, N. J., to-day announced that he had granted the application of counsel for a separate trial for George J. Kerr. indicted for the murder of Jennie Bos- scieter, on the alleged ground that Kerr had not been present when knockout drops had been given to the girl He also charged the grand jury on a stary published by Paterson paper in which were related the facts of case resem- bling the Bosscieter case, but of more recent happening. That article" said Judge Dixon, was printed either for good purpose, or it was libel upon the man who is accused of the drugging and assault. It is the duty os the grand jury to have brought before it all the facts in the possession of the newspaper and if they are well founded, to find an Indictment"

TO SHIFT NEGOTIATIONS.

! washington, Jan. 8.-The United
 States has proposed that the questions of indemnity and of framing new com mercial treaties with China shall be con-
 sidered by an International commission either at Washington or at the capital of one of the other powers concerned, thus removing these two phases of the negotiations from Pekin.
 Minister Conger was heard from to- day in cablegram to the state depart ment The text of the dispatch was not given out, but 1t was made known that, in substance, MT, Conger confirmed re- cent press reports to the effect that there was reason to believe the empress dowager was exerting her influence against the acceptance of the demands submitted by the powers. It Is the feel ing among the officials here that the influence still yielded by the empress dowager may lead to serious complica- tions, in case she seeks to bring to a halt the negotiations now pending. The powers, by stating their demands to be irrevocable made them practically an utimatum, and while refusal to sign by China would not result in a declara- tion of war to enforce the demands there would be q prolonged occupancy of Pekin and this might lead to fresh complications threatening the integrity of the Chinese empire.
 FRENCH ATTITUDE NOT STATED.
 Paris, Jan. S.-The report that the United States has put forth a tentative suggestion that the peace negotiations be shifted from Pekin to Washington is confirmed here.
 The French government, however. has not yet received a formal proposi- tion, and declines, therefore, to state it's attitude.

Germans Inflict Severe Loss on the Ma

 Pekin, Jan. "A German expedition in the northern district encountered at Hai-Kong, twenty miles northwest of the junction of the Great Wall, three thousand Chinese. The Germans retir- ed toward Lui-Tin-Fu, where they were reinforced. The country is exceedingly mountainous, and the village is in an inclosed valley, with walled entrance,
 The Germans advanced to attack the wall, where the Chinese had mounted ten cannon, including four old Krupps A mountain battery bombarded the place for an hour, and the position was then taken at the point of the bayonet. Three hours further fighting occurred before the enemy were driven out of the valley. The Chinese loss is estimated at two hundred killed and three hundred wounded, and the Germans lost one killed and four wounded. The Ger mans, after estroying all the dwellings, retired to Yen King.

press.
 Pekin, Jan. 7.--The protest of the viceroy of YangTse to the signing or the joint note created little surprise here, but the fact that the other south ern viceroys also protested, causing the court to instruct the plenipotentlaries not to sign the note made great sem sation.
 The agreement has not yet been pre- sented for signature. The ministers De- lieve, however, that Prince Ching mas gone too far to retreat, and that he VIII sign tomorrow. The objections Of the southern viceroys are precisely the same as those which the court originally tele- graphed to Prince Ching and Li Hung Chang.
 The empress doubtless was influenced by the protest from the south, because it was generally felt that the dynasty had less influence there than in the north.
 Chang Chi Tung has strongly urged the court not to return to Pekin, but to establish a capital in the Yang-Tse val ley He says this will strengthen the south toward the Chinese cause, and that the signing of the agreement as 1t exists at present would be most seri- ous menace to the dynasty, as the state of the country is doubtful.
 Ii Hung Chang remains in seclusion His attendants claim that he is suffer- ing from a serious relapse, though many think this is a pretext to delay signing of the note until the court can be heard from again.
