ENJOYS at Pekin Not Expected
to Settle Question.
AMOUNTS DEMANDED VARY GREATLY
L Is Believed That the Bill Of Germany Will
Be Larsest-State Department in Cor.
rsspondence With Other Powers.

Washington, Jan. THE state de.
partment is making a strong effort to
secure an understanding among the
powers to serve as basis for the ad.
justment of the question of indemnity
to be paid by the Chinese government.
1t appears from Mr.. Conger's reports
that it is hopeless to expect the
foreign ministers at Pekin to reach An
agreement on this important point, and
if the problem is to be solved at all il
must be removed from the Pekin coun-
Gil and dealt with by direct diplomatic
exchange, as was successfully at.
tempted in the case of the preceding
serious differences betw cen the minis.
ters. Therefore the state department
is in correspondence with other foreign
offices respecting this subject, though
the negotiations have not proceeded to
point where it can be said that
successful termination is in sight.
The principal difference in the way
is believed to be the enormous indem.
mites demanded by some of the powers.
The efforts of the Chinese government
TO secure better terms, so far as they
tend to protract the negotiations, are
also expected to have the result of
adding considerably to the sum total
which must be paid in the end. This
is because the expenses of maintaining.
the foreign military establishments in
China probably will be assessed against
the Chinese government, and the cost
of keeping foreign troops in Pekin at
this season of the year. and in coun-
try VIII ,re every necessity of life has to
be transported from a distance will
make the bill very heavy. 1t is be-
lieved that the bill of Germany " ill
be by far the largest, and it is sig.
nlficant fact that the German govern
ment has allowed its officers on serv-
ice in China five fold their regular
salaries, rate of pay probably higher
than hitherto known in military HIS
tory. The Chinese, however. are OK.
pected to pay for this.

NEARLY FROZEN TO DEATH.
Man in a Drunken Condition Slept Out in the
Cold for Quite Time.

Express, Or, Jan. A. A man by
the name of Tudor started from this
place Yesterday evening for the Big
Kidd mines. about IL miles east OF
this place. A party leaving for the
same place this morning found him
about half way between here and the
mines in frozen condition. He was
brought to this place and later removed
to Huntington, where he could receive
medical aid.
As far as could be ascertained, the
man had been drinking quite heavily
before leaving here. On reaching
cabin near the True Blue mines he
stopped for the night and built up
fire on the floor of the building. He
then dropped off to sleep. He awoke
in time to escape before the burning
structure collapsed. although he sui
fered several burns. He crawled u
short distance away and fell to sleep
again. As the weather was bitter cold.
it is q miracle that he was not frozen
to death.

FAILED TO BLOW UP.
Mechanism of an Internal Machine Would
Not Work.

Paris, ILL.,, Jan. Thomas j. Coff
man, an attorney residing at Hume,
narrowly escaped being blown to
atoms with an internal machine re-
ceived through the mail today. The
box was of wood with sliding lii.
1t contained pound stick of dynamite
and several match heads. which, how
ever, failed to ignite and explode the
charge when the box was opened.
Two thicknesses OF heavy brown paper
covered the box, which was addressed
to DR.. Sylvester CoffmaE, Hume, ILL.,,
a brother of the lawyer, who opened
his mail. The inner surface of the box
lid was studded with tacks, so ar
ranged that they would scratch the
match heads and there was also slip
of sand paper fixed so that it would
be drawn over them if the tacks failed
to do their work. 1t is thought the
iolting of the box in the mail disar.
ranged it's mechanism. An indistinct
postmark seems to indicate the box
was mailed at Logansport, Ind. The
only other clew about the box is
printed label pasted on the lid, in.
scribed: CDR. J. w. Blusser q Son."
The United States marshal and the
local police are investigating.

GEORGIA NEGRO LYNCHED.
Judse Refused to Protect Him and Mob
Strung Him Up.

Rome, Ca, Jan. 5.-George Reed, Q
negro. charged with an attempted as
sault upon Mrs. ]. M. Loczlear. Of
this city, last night, was hanged to .
tree today, after which his body wai
riddled with bullets by mob OF lou
men. Reed protested his innocence.
Much excitement prevailed throughout
the day before the lynching. After
his arrest this morning, the negro wat
taken before Mrs. Locklear. but she
failed to identity him, and he was re.
turned to Jail. However, the mor
which had been seeking the prisoners
life apparently was not satisfied. Inc
demonstrations were SO pronounced
that Judge Henry, of the superior
court, not seeing any reason for hold
ing Reed and fearing an attack on the
iail. ordered the sheriff to release him.
The mob, after the release. formed
within the city limits and marched 60
the house of Lila Glover, in North
Rome. Here they found Reed. He
was taken three miles from this place
before being lynched. Mrs. Lockieaf :
condition is serious.

Preparations at Cape Town.

Cape Town, Jan: 5.-The military
authorities are providing for all con.
tingencies. 1t has been decided to
transfer the Boer prisoners from the
camps to transports.
Farmers coming in from Carnarvon
describe the Beers as travelling in par.
allel columns, with numerous fanking
parties sweeping the country on horses,
plundering loyallsts and carrying of
every thing eatable. 1t appears that
they are accompanied by strings of
packhorses ligtly loaded. Colesberg
relegraphs that Kritzinger's com.
mando is crossing the heidelberg dis
trict, but is getting few if any recruits.
Here in Cape Town, such business
men as are unable to leave are organ.
izing town guard. composed of the
leading citizens. The commercial
companies have asked the mayor to
call mass meeting to urge the govern.
nent to suppress district newspapers
aud to proclaim martial law.
The British battleship Monarch to-
day landed men and guns to relieve
the troops for service nor Inward. II
is believed that the guns will be sent
up the country.
Five hundred citizens enlisted to.
day. 1t is hoped that the first batch
of mounted men will leave within
thee days for Worcester. They are to
hold the passes of the Hex river to
protect the railway tunnel. The or.
gaization is rough and ready. and not
troubled much with drill or special
uniforms. Horses are scarce. Six
thousand five hundred South African
irregulars have been recruited during
the last eight weeks.
The Beers in the TraDsvaal have
been exceedingly active for the last
week or so. daily attacking trains,
conveys and isolated posts. In most
instances they have been repulsed. and
the railways are now working more
regularly.
A commando is supposed to be in the
mountains dividing Middelssrg and
Graaf Reinet, but cannot be exactly
located. The inavders in the west,
who are pected at Frazerburg today,
have altered their course and are now
moving in the direction OF Wilson,
to the northwest. The British have
occupied Frazerburg.

ward-kitchener's Conference With

London. Jan. 5.-Advices from Cape
Town this morning are more hopeful,
owing to the active recruiting of local
forces in all quarters. and better feel.
ing prevails in London, based upon the
prospect of Lord Roberts taking the
reins at the war Office.
From Sydney, N. S. W., it is re-.

contingents, 5000 having volunteered.
The reports of Lord Kitchener's oon.
ference with the. burghels also tends

must not count upon military protec.
tion.
There is an unconfirmed report from
Cape Town that fighting has occurred

BOMB IN A TUNNEL.


Chicago. Jan. 1.-THE Record says:
"On information from source which
he declines to make public. Detective
Sergeant Mclaughlin located q gas
pipe bomb in one of the inches of the
La Sale street tunnel shortly before
midnight. The bomb Was taken by
the policeman to the central station,
and thence carried to the lake front
and exploded. Detective Mclaughlin
said he received q hint to the effect
that an effort would be made to blow
up the tunnel used for the passage of
the North Side cable cars. He has
tened to the scene and found a piece
of tnree-inch gas pipe about Is inches
long in one OF the small arched open.
ings in the dividing wall Of the tun-
mel. A half-burned fuse protruded
from one end. When touched off the
bomb is said by the policemen to have
exploded with loud report.
Earlier in the night one of the
sweepers employed in the tunnel saw a
man about 25 years old and shabbily
dressed lettering in the tunnel. He
was asked what he was doing there,
and replied, Nothing The stranger
left the tunnel hurriedly. The police
suspect the bomb was placed there by
a discharged employe OF the company"

Cable Around the Globe.

Ottawa, Ont, Jan. A. = Sanford
Fleming, one of the principal promot-
ers of the Pacific cable, has written
an omen letter to Hon. Willim Mul!eck,
postmaster General, in favor of a state
owned telegraph line encircling the
olobe. This is said to be the begin
ming of q movement to nationllze the
cable and telegraph services OF the
British empire. If this were done. Sir
Sanford says. it would reduce the price
of messages to one-eighth or one-tentn
of what it now costs to distant British
uossoseions.

Tried TO Drown His landlord.

Chicago. Jan. Tin view of several
persons, Joseph Schweir committed the
final act in a confessed plot to kill
John Korda, Schweir's landlord. He
pushed Korda into the lake from a
pier at the foot of Michigan street, at
point where the water is IL feet
deep. and then ran from the scene,
leaving Korda to drown. The plot
failed, for the intended victim was
rescued from the water by workmen
in q nearby factory. Schweir was
arrested late last night. He was sur
prised to learn that Korda was alive,
and confessed to an attempt on the
mans life.

WIN Paw Tax Under Protest.

Rochester, NY, Jan. THE latest
development in the woman suffrage
fight, begun over quarter OF q century
ago, when Suasn b. Anthony and her
sister, Mary S. Anthony, were arrested
and fined, is the stand taken by Mary
s. Anthony in the matter of taxation
of her property. She sends notice to
County Treasurer Hamilton that she
will not In the future pay taxes except
under protest, until she is allowed the
right of suffrage. The action will
likely result in test case being
brought in the court.

Situation In Cape Colony Takes Seriou,
Tun-Boers Half Way to the Cape.
Cape Town, Jan. 4.-The British
battleship Monarch will land guns to-.
morrow as q precautionary measure.
The situation is serious. 1t is true
that the Dutch have not joined the in.
vaders in any considerable mum bers.
but q lack of arms is believed to be
the true reason for abstention. In
many places horses are freely offered
and information readily supplied to
the Beers.
The early proclamation of martial
law in the Cape Town division is ex-
pected. The division does not include
Cape Town itself.
The latest reports show the situation
to be generally as follows:
Kuruman, if still uninvested, prob.
ably soon will be.
Griqualand West is filed with small
parties of Beers, who are working
south toward Priesak for the purpose
OF cooperating with or supporting
Commandant Hertzog, whose advance
parties are in the neighborhod of Fra
zerburg.
The Beers are close to Graaf Reinet,
where of late the Dutch have given
many demonstrations of extreme SYM
pathy.
In the eastern part of the colony
the advance guard of the Beers is close
to harrisburg. about % miles north
west of Cradock.
The general opinion here is that the
position is not properly appreciated in
England. The Worcester conference
excited the Dutch throughout the col
ony. Many old residents, who are by
no means alarmists, regard general
uprising of the Dutch as quite likely.

PRESENTED TO LANSDOWNE.
The British Foreign Office Has the Canal
Treaty Amendments.

London, Jan. T. United States
Am mbassador Choate presented the Hay
Pauncefote treaty amendments to the
secl etary of state for foreign affairs,
the Marquis of Lansdowne, today.
No discussion occurred and the ma.
sure of Lord Lansdowne's answer is
not indicated. Mr.. Choate simply
notified the secretary of state for for.
eign affairs that he had sent him a
document forwarded by the state de-
partment. An answer pIobably will
not be sent until the cabinet discusses
the matter fully. The interview be-
tween Mr.. Choate and Lord Lans-
downe was chiefly devoted to an ex.
preston of the latter's view on China's
answer to the demands of the powers.
It is understood that Secretary Hay
desired to know what Great Britain
thought of those points, which China
in her answer said she was unable tc
fulfill at present. No difference OF
opinion appears to exist between Sec
retary Hay and Lord Lansdowne.
