Old Il Is IN D|SFAVOR.
ae Is Said to Have Left Pekin for
Shanghai Under an I'm
perial Cloud.
He HAS FAVORED RUSSIA TOO ACTIVELY.
II the Present Understanding Is Corr
rect 1t is Believed that an Eff
fectuaI Check Has Been Admin
istered to Russia in Her Designs
Upon Manchuria.

Washington, April 4.-Although no
official notice has reached here of the
reported departure of Prince Ii Hung
Chang from Pekin for Shanghai, the
officials are inclined to believe 1t is
true that Ii Hung Chang is real
" leaving Peldn for good,
and because the emperor is dis
pleased with his conduct of the me-
gotiations. 1t was known here that
when Ii Hung Chang was made one
of tie peace ENJOYS that he was pro-
Russian in sentiment, but there was
no cause for complaint on that score
until the Manchurian agreement came
up for considera ton. Now it is be-
lieved by officials here that Ii has
proved so earnest an advocate OF the
Russian cause, and has so strenuously
worked for The signature OF the agree
ment that his own government has
felt obliged to deprive him of power
| to further that agreemnt. Ii this un-
| Outstanding is correct it is believed
| that an effectual check has been adj
mnistered to Russia in her designs
upon Manchuria, for it is thought the
emperor of China would scarcely have
acted in this summary fashion had he
not received assurances of support
from some of the other powers.
Mr.. Rockhill has not yet acquainted
the government with the exact Ian.
guage of the agreement reported to
have been reached at Pelin as to the
Chinese forts, but taking the press
accounts of the ministerial meeting
as accurate, it is gathered that Sec
rotary Hays views have formed the
basis Of the agreement. The origina
proposition, strongly backed by mos-
of the European powers, was to com
pletely destroy the Chinese forts il
the gulf of Pe-Chi-Li, and on the roaC
from Taku to Pehin. The state de
partment felt that it would be mex
pedient to proceed so far and leav,
China naked TO the attack of tn,
meanest foe. Therefore, the powers
were urged to content themselvei
with the simple dismantlement of tn,
forts, leaving them in condition to b.
again mounted with guns in a reason
able time. it is believed here that thi
project has been accepted, for it ap
pears. from the language of the pres
dispatches, that the only forts or
dered to be destroyed" is one on
point i'm the Pei river. which is to b.
removed simply because it forms al
obstacle to navigation.

PROHIBITION IN KANSAS.

TOPEKA, KAN, April 3-The mu-
nicipal elections in Kansas yester-
day have been of much more than
the usual interest. Mrs. Nation's
crusade and the subsequent wide
spread revival of interest in the en-
forcement of Prohibition combined
TO make the city elections the bat
tlefields upon which in large meas
ure would depend the ultimate fate
OF the prohibition law. The results
seem to show the prohibitory senti-
ment is still in the ascendency.
In nearly every case the Republi-
can candidates were law enforce
ment people and their election can
t erefore be counted a victory for
that element.
Albert Parker, Democrat, was
elected Mayor of Topeka over
Hughes, Republican, by the small
majority OF II votes. The vote was
so close on Mayor that the result
was in doubt until the final counG
was received shortly after clock
this morning. The Republicans
elected the balance of the ticket
with the exception of one council
man. Hughes ran considerably be-
hind the rest of the ticket on &C
count of bitter fight at the Repub-
lican primaries, many of the Repub-
licans opposed to his nomination

Quiet in the Senate,

The day was the quietest day in
the Senate since the recess. The
road law was called up, but was
made a special order for Thursday
at IL O'Clock.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Apl. In the
rOuntinr grind of the Senate yester
day, a bill was read out which pro.
vided for the repeal of the Jarvis
law in all counties under 10000 in
habitants. 1t was only necessary to
state that the bill was an assault on
the Jarvis law ant the Senators sat
down on it very promptly and very
forcibly.
The Senate has on previous occa-
sions SHOWN it's unwillingness to
tamper with the JAWS law, and the
action yesterday showed plainly
that the upper branch will stand as
big tumbling block to the House
in the attempts of the latter to teal
hole in Tennessee's great reform
measure.
