LOOMS NOT TO RETURN.
State Department Will Not Again Send
 Him to Venezuela.

Washington, May 31.--It is officially admitted that Minister Loomis will not return to Venezuela. There are two reasons for this decision. In the first place, MT. Loomis has suffered in health at his uncongenial post, and, in the sec- ond place, the president is not disposed to expose him again to the mercless attacks he has suffered in Venezuela as result of the execution of orders of the state department. MT. Loomls, who is now in Europe seeking to recupera te, will be given another diplomatic posi- ton as soon as suitable place can be found. Meanwhile MT. Russell will re- main in charge of the United States le- gation at Caracas for period of time not yet determined upon, but likely to be fixed by the attitude of the Venezue- Ian government.

REs1GNATIONs REJECTED.
Senators Tillman and McLnurin Given
 Time to Reconsider.


 Columbia, s. C., May Ex-Governor McSweeney to-day, acting, he said in accordance with the wishes of the peo- pie who did not wish primary with its incident strife and unrest, refused to accept the resignations of Senators Tillman and McLaurin.
 He wrote communications to the sena- tors in which he first said that he ''re- turned their resignations for further consideration as their action might have been taken in the heat of debate and without full consideration of the effects upon the people. In the closing paragraphs of his letter, however, the governor unequivocally declines to ac- cept the resignations. His reason, he said, may be put in a few words. A canvass between them would result in bitterness, stir up the people just at a period when they are trying to get to- gether for the material progress of the state mad would be a campaign of per- sonalities instead os education. Next year there will be ample opportunity for full discussion. Holding these views, the governor says his duty is plain.

CHINA'S ACCEPTANCE.
Causes Great Satisfaction at Pelkin-De-
 tails Yet to be Completed,

Pekin, May 31.--China's uncondi- tional acceptance of 450,000,00O taels as the indemnity to be paid the powers has caused great satisfaction among the foreign ministers, as it only leaves prac- tically few minor details to complete the negotiations.
 The phrase in the joint note, "to the satisfaction of the powers" may cause some delay in the evacuation of Chi nese territory, as the ministers fail to see how China can guarantee payment and as all the ministers believe it would be mistake to have a large body of foreign officials collecting revenue Were revenue thus collected over 2,000 off, cials would be required and the aggre- gate salaries of these men would be very large, and amount to more than the ordinary Chinese "equeeze."
 The majority of the ministers now fa- vor raising the customs to 10 per cent. and taking 5,000,000 taels yearly from the likin tax. This method would give, after the payment of interest on for eign debts now existing, about 23,000,O 900 taels year. The ministers would agree to this system if China will discontinue the collection of all likin duties on for eign goods.

WORK ON CONSTITUTYON.
Extra Backstays Shortened -Stin Much
 Secrecy Maintained

Bristol, R. l., May 31.-The extra backstays attached to the Constitu- tion's mast a week ago and the pre- venter backstays were to-day shorten ed several feet, owing to the spring of the mainmast head bringing the end of the stays too near the deck The mast snaps loudly when the boat is sailing in stiff breeze. The boat is mot going to have new stays at present, but will have them later Late this af- ternoon new mainsail taken from Herreshaffs sail loft was slowed on board the tender Mount Morris for fu- ture use. The moorings of the Con- stitution were shifted just before dark to-day, as the weather looked threat ening. There seems to be great amount of secrecy relative to all move- ments on board the boat, even to the most unimportant things.

BIG RAILROAD FIGHT ENDS
FINAL AND AMICABLE AGREE
 MENT ON NORTHERN RNP4CIFIC.
Official Announcement of the Fact Made but Particulars Are Refused-J. P. Morgan to Name the Board of Directors Complete and Permanent Harmony Promised Under the Plan Adopted.

New York, May 31.-The conflicting interests in the Northern Pacific rail- road have reached final and amicable agreement upon all matters of disagree rnent and their future relations to the property There has been no announce ment of the terms of the new pact, which ends the most remarkable finan- cial battle in the records of Wall street, and none of the details have been made public. Late this afternoon the follow ing statement was made and sent out:
 Tt is officially announced that an un- derstanding has been reached between Northern Pacific and Union Pacific in- terests, under which the composition of the Northern Pacific board will be left in the hands of J. F. Morgan, certain names having already been suggested, which will especially be recognized as representative of the common inter- ests. It is asserted that complete apd permanent harmony will result under the plan adopted between all interests involved.''
 When the statement was shown to Louis A. Heinsheimer, of Kuhn Loeb & Co.,, he said: That statement is au- thentic. We cannot go into particulars as to the settlement or give you any details at this time. All that we can say is that there has been settlement of the difficulties that existed and the matter Is at an end"
 Jacob H. Schiff declined to add any thing to the official statement beyond confirming it.
 All James J. Hill would say was that a satisfactory settlement appeared to have been concluded.
 One of the stories heard to-day after the announcement that peace had been declared was that at least two North ern Pacific directors would enter the Union Pacific board and that equal rep resentation would be given the latter road in the directory of the first named.

 London, May 31.--Lord George Ham, ilton, the Indian secretary, who was not present in the house of commons when Sir Alfred Hickman, conservative, former president of the British Iron Trades association. May 23, attacked American built locomotives and bridges has replied in a letter to Sir Alfred Hickman, In part it is as follows:
 "No practical engineer who has vis- ited American workshops and inspected their methods Of production and man ufacture would for q moment endorse your assumptions. Their competition Is dangerous because they are yearly im- proving their products, both in quality and price. It always has been the practice of the boards Of management of the Indian railroads to give prece- dence in all their contracts to British manufacturers and that policy has so prevailed that up to the recent great engineering strike no order for a rail- way locomotive was ever given outside of Great Britain Since then, owing to the British workshops being block ed with work, certain of the India rail- road boards found it necessary as loco- motives could not be obtained here, to place few limited orders in America. I am ready to give all the available re- ports concerning the workings. con- of fuel and load drawing powers of these locomotives.
