THE CHINESE INDEMNITY.
Department Upon This Impor-
tant Tonic.

Washington, Feb. 16-Minister WI, the
Chinese minister, called at the State De-
partment to-day and spent nearly half
an hour in close conference with Act
ing Secretary Hill. lie had no late news
from China, but was seeking to assist
as far as he could in the pursuit of some
agreement that will settle the question OF
indemnity for the losses suffered by the
foreigners in China from the Boxer move
ment. 1t has been for some time realized
that there was little hope of the ENJOYS
in Pekin attaining any agreement upon
this important subject, and Mr.. Conger's
reports have clearly indicated that the
subject must be dealt with
elsewhere than in Pekin If any
concert of action is to be maintained by
the Powers. 1t is presumed that the
foreign offices in Europe and Japan are
also being approached directly by the Chi
nese government on this subject, and if
success is had in reaching the outline OF
common understanding something In
the nature of a joint effort is expected TO
follow, and conclude the negotiations on
this point.

est Known.

Meeker. Col, Feb. 1s Vice President
elect Roosevelt and John Goff rode into
Meeker from the keystone ranch last
night, having concluded their hunt for
big game in the mountains. When asked
for interviews the Governor referred the
correspondent 10 Mr.. Gof.
Mr.. Goff said seventeen lions were kill
ed during the hunt and that the Cover
nor himself killed twelve, four with his
knife and eight with his rife. Mr.. Goff
further stated that Gov. Roosevelt killed
the largest lion that has bsen killed In
this section, weighing 227 pounds, and
measuring eight and one-half feet in the
flesh. Mr.. Goff states that Roosevelt kill
ed IT with his knife.
One of the most exciting experiences
Of the hunt occurred when Gov Roosevelt
killed his second largest lion. In order
to get a shot the Governor leaned the
larger portion of his weighty body over
cliff forty feet high. Goff held him by
the leg. The Governor brought down
his game with the first shot.
Gov. Roosevelt expressed himself as
having the most enjoyable time OF his
life He will leave Meeker to-day In a
special conveyance. He will take the

Night work and Shut Down One
Dny I'm SeNcn

Charlotte, N. c.. Feb. 16.-Four hundred
sented at the meeting of the Southern
Cotton Spinners' Association held in this
city to-day. The meeting was called for
the express purpose OF effecting a curtail-
ment in tho production OF cotton yarns
and the result is that for four months
from March /. the production will be re-
duced very considerably. This will be
brought about by shut down of night
work as provided for in the following res
oiution, which was unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That we recommend all mills
to stop night work entirely for four
months, beginning March /, 1901 and that
mills running day light only, stop one
day in every week, beginning March l.
AZ the expiration of sixty days from
March !, mills stopping night work shall
also conform to arrangements made here
IN for mills running daytime only"

a reduction of 90 per cent.
Leonard Paulson of Buckingham, Paul
son % Coz was the only Northern com
mission man present. He made a speech.
IN which he said the market is dun and
prices only nominal. In the hands of
commission merchants. he said, there are
yarns sufficient to last certainly for six
ty days and probably four months. He
thought the action taken by the meeting
would havc.a good effect

meeting, said that the thousand of mill
operatives that would be Immediately ar
tected by the partial shutdown would re-

81 Petersburg, Feb. 16.-The finance
minister NJ. DeWltte, has proved his
abJitv to hit quick and hard. He was
evidently prepared for reprisals before
Secretary Gage took final action. M. De-
yvitte sent to the Senate Wednesday for
publication an ordinance levying 80 per
cent. increased duty on the most import
ant American imports into Russia. The
ordinance becomes effective March 1.
This action is greatly regretted in Amer
lean circles, who anticipate much harm
therefrom.
The ordinance requires that the articles
affected be accompanied, upon importa-
ton. by a certificate of origin. The ordi-
nance affects all sorts of iron and steel
goods from unworked iron castings to
sewing machines.
Locomobiles with complicated threshers
attached. and steam plows and fire en-
gines are excepted.

TO KEEP UP CARTER FIGHT.
If Turned Down by Supreme Court
on Pending Cases Congress VIII
BE Asked to Investigate.

Leavenworth, Kan, Feb. 16.-L. d. Car
Ter, uncle of Oberlin M. Carter, has start
ed for Washington to continue the fight
to secure the release of the ex-captain
from the Federal prison here. He will
appeal from the decision of Judge Hook
made yesterday, to release Carter on a
bond, appearing before Justice David L.
Brewer of the United States Supreme
Court, who is assigned to this district.
One of Carter's attorneys said to-day
that in case Justice Brewer shall refuse
to release the prisoner on bond an effort
will be made to advance the pending ap-
peal in the Supreme Court in the habeas
corpus case, so as to have it come up next
April. If the Supreme Court finally sus-
tains the decision in che habeas corpus
case which was rendered by Judges Thay-
er and Hook several months ago and re-
fuses to release Carter, the next move
VIII be to ask for a congressional inves-
tigation of the whole case, including the
government work at Savannah the court
martial and all the subsequent PROCEED
ings. The attorney hinted that Congress-
man Grosvenor who acted as one Of Car
ters attorneys in the haDeas corpus pro-
ceedings here would ask for the investi-
CATION.
Carter was greatly detected yesterday
when Judge Hook denied his motion for
release on bond. He controlled his emo
tions in the court room, but It is said
shed tears when he was returned to
prison.

HONDURAS C0MPANY'S SUIT.
Charges Made Against Ex-secretary
Tracy and His Law Firm, of He
trnyal of Trust.


New York, Feb. 1.-THE taking of tes-
timony was continued to-day at Newark,
N. j.. in the suit brought by the Hon
duras Company of Georgia against the
Honduras Syndicate. a New Jersey cor
poration. In this suit serious charges
are made against ex-Secretary of the
Navy Benjamin T.. Tracy and the law
firm of Stetson. Tracy. jennings and
Russell of New York. 1t is alleged that
the firm named, and Mr.. Tracy, while
acting as counsel for the complainant,
obtained know. edge of great value of
certain concessions and contracts made
or about to be made by the Republic of
Honduras to and with the complainant,
and that subsequently a synd.ca,e was
formed by them for the pur-
pose of acquiring these same
concessions and contracts from tho Hon
duras Republic. Thee bill alleges that
Senator Depew. John Jacob Astor,
Charles McNeegh, William S Webb and
other prominent men We're treacherous-
ly induced to join the syndicate. The pur-
pose of the suit is to secure a final de-
cree requiring the defendant corporation
to make an accounting to the complain
ant of it's profits and to transfer to the
complainant all beneficial interests that
may have been obtained or acquired by
the defendant.
1t developed at the hearing to-day that
Jacob r. Shipheard, the promoter of the
Honduras Company of Georgia, as far
back as 1895 had entered into negotiations
with George S. Scott for the financiering
OF a scheme to develop the resources.
Letters to that effect were produced in
court.
The case was adjourned until Feb. 26.

mac state pepnrtment Notifled.

Washington, Feb 16.-Count Cassini the
Russian ambassador. this afternoon re-
ceived a cablegram from the Russian for
eign Office, confirming the report of the
issue of the decree imposing increased
duties on certain American imports into
Russia and took steps to inform the
State Department accordingly. 1t is real
ized that a grave crisis has been reached
IN the relations between the United States
and Russia. The immediate effect of
the Russian decree, when it becomes OPP
erative on March l, will be to increase by
90 per cent. the duties on American ma
chinery, steel and iron goods.
The articles referred to in the Russian
decree are machinery and tools of every
kind, manufactures and products of cast
non and steel. Roughly stated, the Uni
ted States is said to have exported goods
Of this description to Russia last year, to
the amount of about S3O.ooO,0Oo. The adj
Gtion Of 80 per cent. to the duty will, it
thought, prove practically prohibitory,
The action taken to-day means that the
Russian government will not concern it.

hctation that the American importers of
Russian sugar will make the fight in their

Right of United States to Intervene
Was Strongly Discussed.

Havana, Feb. 16.-The special commits
sion appointed by the Cuban CONSTITUTIONAL
convention to draw up a proposition, de-
fining the future relations between the
United States and the Republic of Cuba,
have returned from a conference with
Gov. Gen. Wood at Batabano and will re-
port to the convention in SECRET session.
The question of the United States main
taining naval stations in Cuba met with
strong opposition, and the commission
will report to the convention not to ac-
cept this condition. The other clauses
in the proposed relations have been prac-
ticalIy agreed to.
The Cuban Constitutional Convention
held a secret session lasting several hours
this afternoon. considering the question
of the future relations between the Uni
ted States and the republic of Cuba. The
commission which met Gov. Gen. Wood
at Batabano last night, offered no forma;
report, but asked that the matter be con-
sidered in Committee of the Whole. A
majority of the delegates opposed the
81 idtllhlS IHe OLll6Q Oldl6S Ol the IlSliL
to maintain naval stations in Cuba, and
a large number favored leaving the re-
lations between the United States and
Cuba for the future republic to settle.
The right of the United States to in
tervene at any time for the preservation
of peace was also the subject of strong
discussion. The questions of regulating
loans and the foreign relations developed
no opposition.
One of the delegates, in the course of
an interview, said that the convention
would never agree to allow the United
States to establish and maintain naval
stations, as the people look upon this con-
cession as >unpatriotic, and a practical
giving up of their independence, The
only way the United States can obtain
this right. the delegate said, would be
by insisting upon the concession, the re-
sponsibility for making which the con-
yention does not want to take.
