THE CRISIS IN RUSSI1.
A Proposal to Place St. Petersburg
 Under Martial Law.

St. Petersburg, Tuesday, March 26.- It is reliably reported that at minis terial meeting held in the presence of the Grand Duke. Vladimir, commander of the St. Petersburg garrison, the pro- posal to place the capital under mar tial law, should the indications presage further differences, was hotly debated. M. de Witte, the finance minister, was energetically opposed to the establish ment of martial law owing to financial reasons, not to mention the disastrous effect which it would have on industry, commerce and the country's standing
 with foreign capitalists.
 The committee accordingly sanction ed the issuing of a circular, which has been issued by the ministry of the in terior A ministerial council has been called for Friday.
 The examination of the 1,150 political prisoners is now being conducted in se- cret by the police. Thirty six prisoners who were arrested as leaders of the student movement before the last riots will probably be released from custody tomorrow and will be excluded from the university for different periods. It is reported from trustworthy sources that the government has decided to make unofficial concessions to the stu dents, and accordingly the military reg ulations against students are therefore set aside for the present, though there will be no public announcement to this effect for some time. The prisoners will not be drafted into the army This is one of the results of the ministerial meeting.

GENERAL DELAREY'S DEFEAT.
Overwhelmed by Ruic<ness of British
 Mounted Troops.

London, March 27.-A dispatch from Lord Kitchener to the war office, dated Pretoria, March 27, says:
 "Our casualties in GeKeral Bablng- toms action were two killed and\seven wounded The Boers left twenty-two dead and twenty wounded. As their pursuit was rapid, many more Boer casualties are likely.
 ''The operations of March 23 drove the enemy north from their positions at Kaffirs' Kraal On March 27 the pur suit was continued by mounted men only. Tie enemy's rear guard was driven in hv combined movement on both Hanks. Their convoy was then sighted at Leeuwfontein. The Greys, New Zealanders and Bushmen pushed on. The enemy attempted to take up position. but the Greys and other troops rode down all opposition and gave him no chance. The convoy was ridden into and the enemy's retirement became a rou.. The pursuit was con- tinued until the horses were exhausted"

J. P. MORGAN PROMISES HELP
WILL MAKE 4 PERSONA EFFORT
 TO PREVENT COAL STRIKE.
Will Not, However, Con Ger With Presi- dent Mitchell or Any of the Labor Leaders-Dcciares the Ends Sought Can Best be Achieved Through Other Channels Gives Assurance There Will be No Strike.

New York, March 27--A delegation
 composed of five men representing trade interests in the Pennsylvania anthra- cite coal regions, with Rev. Father Ed ward s. Phillips acting as chairman, this afternoon held conference with
 J. P. Morgan in his private office in this
 city. The conditions of unrest in the
 anthracite coal regions at present were
 set forth in briefest form by Father
 Phillips, who presented the delegation
 to MT. Morgan and to whom MT. Mor-
 gan expressed his interest in their er-
 rand and his willingness to make per
 sonal effort to prevent a strike, though
 he declined to hold a public conference with the labor leaders.
 Father Phillips, addressing MT. Mor- gan after his formal presentation of the delegation, asked MT. Morgan if he would meet John Mitchell, president of the United Mine Workers association, who has been in New York for several days. MT. Morgan, replying broadly to this question and addressing himself to Father Phillips, touching the errand of the delegation, said in substance that his attitude up to the present has been toward the prevention of strike. He said he was much interested in the mission of the delegation and he assur- ed them that they could rely upon him to do all within his power to prevent any action that would parayze busi- ness. He remarked, however that he was disinclined to hold a public confer ence with the labor leaders MT. Mor- gan added that the ends sought could best be achieved through other chan nels, and he assured the delegation that he might communicate with the boards of trade later.
 You may rest assured that l believe there will be no strike" remarked MT. Morgan and then added that these matters could be arranged through proper channels and that there were other people than himself who could look after the details and he would lend his efforts to accomplish such results in such manner
 MT. Morgan after the conference de- clined to make any statement. Father after the conference stated that MT Morgan had received the dele gation in a cordial manner and assured them that he would do anything in his power to make their mission of peace

NEBRASKA SENATORIAL FIGHT.
Little Prospect That Deadlock wiu be
 Broken,

Lincoln Neb., March 27.-An unavail- ing conference of republicans of the legislature and an equally futile effort to hold caucus under new call, marked the closing struggle in the Ne braska senatorial canvass. Indications at midnight are that the deadlock will outlast the session, the last legislative day of which will be tomorrow and that Nebraska for two years will be un- represented In the upper house of con- gess, barring of course the possibility of an extra session of the legislature, which is remote, or appointments by the governor who thus far, in advance of final adjournment has given no posi- tive intimation of what he will do. The day and night have been marked by vain appeals to the ten republicans who are holding out against D. E. Thompson to cease their opposition and enter the caucus or give him their votes in joint convention.

PRINCETON WON DEBATE
YALE VENT DOWN ON SHIP SUB-
 SIDY QUESTION.

Princeton Showed Too Much Logic and Fire for Yale Debatcrs- Judge William K. Townsend Presided md the Yait GIee Club Was sPrcsent-Visitors Given 1 n Yale Cheer.
 Only one Yale cheer was sent up at the annual Princeton debate last
 night in College street hall, and though it sounded at the decision of the judges it had a reluctant Princeton" tackled to the end of it in acknowledge ment of the superior prowess of the Princeton debaters. The decision of the judges, who were William D. Guth- rie, William S. Peckham and Professor James B. Thayer, was made after an interim of about fifteen minutes, during which time several songs were render ed by the Yale Glee club. and Judge William K. Townsend, who presided, kept the audience entertained with amusing stories. The judges announc- ed that while much could be said in favor of Yale's form, they had unani- mously decided for Princeton.
 It was evident that for once at least, Princeton showed better logic than Yale. the latter without doubt losing the debate through weakness in rebut- tai, because they did not meet the ques- tion fully. It read, Resolved, That a system of subsidies, other than the present mail subsidies, should be adopted by the United States to encour- age our ship building and ocean carry ing trade"
 Yale held the affirmative side, and In defending it strove principally to show the present necessity of a larger mer- chant marine which was freely granted by the opposition but were weak in their proof of the benefit of ship subsi- dies.
 The Princeton debaters were especial ly strong and fiery in their rebuttals, Steen sprnging to his feet to deliver the final argument for Princeton be- fore Judge Townsend had chance to formally announce him.
 The first speaker for Yale was Frank Heustis Sincerbeaux, 1902, of Moravia N. T. He said in brief:
 "The affirmative will base it's argu- ment for the restoration of American shipping upon two points. First, the United States needs shipyards and a merchant marine; second, subsidies the only direct and immedi- ate means of obtaining them.
 We shall not take time to describe the deplorable condition of our ship ping, but shall consider at once the needs of it's restoration. An ocean car rying and ship building trade are ne- cessary; first, for national and commer- cial independence; second for military and naval purposes; third for the un- ion and unity of our colonial system.
 Commercial independence rests upon the development of these great branch

Sails Hurrledly from Davenport, Eng.-
 A Conflict Expected.

London, March 2S.-The Japanese cruiser Iwate, recently constructed at the Elswick works, left Davenport for the far east early Tuesday morning in- stead of departing next Saturday, as was originally intended. She shipped her ammunition while she was coaling and so hastily that portions were left behind. Judging from remarks made by her officers, they seemed to antici- pate conflict between Great Britain and Russia, in which event they said the Japanese and British fleets would CO., operate.

Southern Viccroys.

1 London, March 2S.-Dr. Morrison,
 wiring to the Times from Pekin yester-
 day, says:
 Reports that the Chinese court has definitely rejected the Manchurian
 convention are acquiring great consist
 ency and the extreme reticence of Ii
 Hung Chang's office points in the same
 direction.
 ''The Yang Tse valley is again, as last summer, proving the center of the
 stability of China. The action of Wu
 Ching and the Nankin viceroy is carry ing the whole of the central and south
 erns provinces with it. The movement
 against Russia and in favor of an ap-
 peal to the concert of the powers is
 gaining such strength and breadth that,
 whatever disposition may exist at Sian
 Flu, the Chinese court may consider
 estrangng Russia a lesser evil than
 jeopardizing the authority of the throne and perhaps even the existence of the dynasty"
 Washington, March 27.--The British SoNel iiliieHI udS pIUleSleu against China's making convention with any power touching territorial or financial affairs until the present troubles in that country are concluded The fact of the British protest was made known here for the first time to-day by a dis patch from one of the foreign offices of Europe. It says that the protest was made through Sir Ernest Satow, the British minister at Pel1in. It does not state when the representations were made, but form the fact that the dis patch was received in Washington to- day it is taken that the protest occurred within the last day or two.
 Although the Russian agreement is not specifically referred to, it is said to be clear that the BritisA action is di- rected against the Russian amendment The language appears to be similar to that used by Secretary Hay in the American protest. The effect of the British action is to place the United States, Japan and Great Britain in for mal opposition to the signing of a con- vention by China with any power pend ing the settlement of the Chinese trou- bles. The course of Great Britain is the more significant from the fact that that | government and Germany have writ ten alliance relating to Chinese affairs. l
 The concurrence of these protests explain why the Manchurian agreement has not been signed. There l 1as ben no definite information recieved | 1ere to-day at any of the foreign em- ,assies as to whether the agreement had 1 been signed or rejected.
