The evening times., 1901-01-18

The State Department this morning re-
ceiYed a despatch from Minister Conger %
Pekin, officially notifying the Governments
Of the signing 0; the protocol BY the Chi
nese plenipotentIaries, and asking instrgc-
tions as to what course ne should pursue
in the matter of fnal settlement Of the
Chinese difficulties.
Instructions viii be sent to him from
the department today, and. shile theiF
character win not be officially disclosed.
it is said that Mr.. Conger viii be told TO
proceed at once with the minor details
Of the negotiations and get them out CT
the way first before discussing the more
important questions.
His first efforts viii be, therefore, di-
rected toward agreement upon points up
on which there is little or no dispute be-
tween the Powers It is thought that
eyea should China hesitate and endeavor
TO secure delay, as is expected, all the
foreign representatives. acting in con
cert, can force an adjustment of the less
important conditions demanded and thus
leave the way clear for the consideration
Of questions OF indemnity and commercial
concessions.
Upon these vital questions there is
certain to be a vide variance of views,
and it is regarded as not altogether in
probable that the discussion may lead 10
a serious rupture Of the present under
standing among the Powers.
This Government has already begun
testing the feeling of other nations upon
these points. but with very little SUCCESS
as yet. and it is said to be the purpose
Of the State Department to still further
continue its efforts 70 ascertain the in
tentions and demands of the Powers The
time during which the miner details are
being arranged viii give an opportunity
for this enquiry
II is the belief among officials here that
the Powers viii consent to a considera-
ton of such lesser points involved in the
settlement OF the troubles, as vii be sug-
gested by this Government.

All Dispatches to and From This
Country Closely scanned.
NEW YORK. Jan. 1S.-It was learned To-
day that Venezuela had established a cen
sorship over all dispatches to and from
the United States The censorship was IN
stItuted On December 9. and has been
strictly enforced ever since.
AT the Offices of the United States and
Haiti Cable Company, which controls ca
bic lines 10 Venezuela. the fact was. con-
hrmed.
Consultations were held today between
officials Of the State and the Navy Lee
partments in regard 10 the situation in
Venezuela While all Of them maintain
that they have received nothing TO throw
any additional light on conditions in the
asphalt regiCn, 1t IS evident that they
are concerned over the prospect Of trouble
and the conferences today were for the
purpose Of arranging for better naval
representation of the United States in
Venezuelan waters. With the gunboat
Scorpion goae 10 GuaG0co. the nearest
! port TO the asphalt fields, there is no
| United States naval vessel al Ii Guayra,
the port Of Caracas, ard II Is deemed wise
10 have ship al that place
It was practically arranged that some
| naval vessel should be sent to La Guayra-
The State Department suggested the new
battleship kearsarge now at Pensacola,
but the Navy Department is not willing
10 foregO the winter cruise OF that vessel
and would prefer 70 send d smaller one.
However, the idea appears to be that the
larger the ship sent 10 Ia Guayra the
better the effect will be or the Venezue-
lans in bringing them to realization that
the American Government is determined to
protect the Interests Of its citizens, and it
Is quite likely that if an additional vessel

Her Sex Saved Her.

Indignation prevails at the state
house over the alleged comments of
Mrs. Lillian Fultz, an employe of DR..
Tyler in the Office of the state board
of health. when she heard of the assas-
sination of President Mckinley, says
the Denver Post. According to the
statement of Frank P. Logan, a mail
carrier. he said to Mrs. Fultz:
THE assassination of President Nc
Kinley is a terrible thing, isn't it,"
"Oh, | don't know" he says she re-
sponded. at was just what he deserv-
ed. He is o a friend of the working
man and was only great because Mark
Hanna made him So"
Mrs. Fultz. were you a mar I would
knock you down. said Logan.
Mrs. Fultz is the only person at the
state house to give voice to such ex-
pressions. The others are all deeply
shocked over the affair and anxious
for the latest reports about the condi-
ton of the president. So seriously
are Mrs. Fultz's words regarded that
it is likely some official action may be
taken in the matter and she may lose
her place unless she retracts her I'M
popular assertions.

country as Mckinley has" the man de-
clared. "If | were shot there would
not be any hue and cry"
We'll you have done all the good
you are going to do" one of the hear
ers said and struck the man full in the
face. Before the man could strike
back as he started to do half a dozen
men had bounced upon him. He was
pulled down and vas being kicked and
beaten when Detective Price, who was
on the front of the car. came to his
assistance. The car stopped and Price,
