THE MANcAURIAN CONVENTION
Russia Agrees to Certain Importnn,
Notifications.

LONDON, March 20.-Dr. Morrison,
wiring to The Times from Peking, says:
"Prince Ching received me today and
con6rmed the Information rs to Russia's
notifications of the Manchurian conven.
ton. The Chinese minister at st. Pc.
tersburg officially reports that Russia
has agreed to eliminate the clause grant.
ing her exclusive privileges in Mon.
golia and Turkestan and also to modify
various other clauses objected to by
China.
prince Ching warmly appreciates the
assistance rendered China by the inter.
vention of England, the United States
and Japan, but he is not optimistic con-
cerning the return of the court to Peking
"Thc Russian amendments do not seem
to modify sensibly the character of the
convention as creating a permanent pro
tectorate. The amended clause giving
Russia the right to construct railway
joining the Manchurian lirA to the great
wall declares that the concession of the
railway between Shan-hai-kwan and
Newchwang to a foreign company was a
breach of n previous agreement between
China and Russia.

ana Inetr GunruN.
LEAVENWORTH Kan, March 90
Nearly 300 convicts in the state peniten-
tiary have revolted, captured coal mine,
are holding their guards as hostages and
threaten to kill them il their demands
are not granted. These demands include
immunity for the ringleaders of the re-
volt.
The governor has been notified of the
state of affairs and has ordered the mi
litia to he ready to proceed to the place.
1t may be necessary to starve the conyicts
out. Any attempt to recapture the coal
mine would be accompanied by terrible
bloodshed.
The miners have threatened to wreck
the mines, but the threat Is laughed at
by Warden Tomlinson, who says they
would not attempt this, as such action
would endanger their lives He says he
will starve them out.
A communication was received from
one of the guards stating they were hun
CRY and tired. but so far as he could
learn all were alive.
The first outbreak in the mine took
place shortly after the noon meal Mon
day and was started by the convicts in
division No. s. or the 10 men in this di-
vision 16 seized the guard and overpow-
cred him and announced that they had
decided to strike They told the guard
that they had decided to mine two in
stead of three cars of coal as n days
work in the future and that they pro-
posed to have better food.

LONDON, March 20.-The viceroy of
India, Lord Curzon of Kedleston, has
telegraphed to the Indian office to the
effect that the financial statement to be
submitted to the legislative council
today shows the surplus for the last
fiscal year to be FL, 100000 in spite Of
the famine relief of f4,227 900. 1t is es-
timated that the surplus for this year
will be f691,000. The general results
are considered to be exceedingly good in
view of the famine and the plague. AS
to the countervailing sugar duties, no
conclusion is yet possible, but the i'm
portations from British colonies during
the last ten months have shown large
proportionate increase.

quite interesting.
'"There Is no change in the situa-

land I do not look for any until the
disease has nothing further to work on
among the Negroes?"
"Why among the Negroes?"
"Well, they do not seem to mind It.
On the contrary. would say that they
are really ambitious to have it. When
ever a case breaks out the balance OF
the Negroes flock to the infected house
in droves. I don't believe you could
keep them away without a shot gun. u
"Any more deaths?"
"Oh! 1t don't seem to hurt 'em
You see a great many Of them walking
about as though there was nothing the
matter. They do not stay in from the
time the disease makes its appearance
until 1t passes away. In most cases
pock marks are left for awhile; but
believe these also disappear after g
time"
Mr.. Ashe said that DR.. Bacot was
still busy vaccinating all the Negroes
he could get within his reach. Up te
this time only one white man has been
attacked by the disease and he has en-
tirely recovered.

Of the people. The governor is sworn
to enforce the constitution and the

If he should perjure himself in this

perjure himself in another case, and
the solemn oath of office will be found
to mean nothing.
We do not know that the governor

mined to allow willful violation Of the

we have seen in the papers. Consider

A CASE of especial interest to the
medical profession of South Carolina,
is up at Rennettsville this week. II
involves the right of graduates Of the
Charleston Medical college to practice
medicine without first obtaining a H.
cense from the state board Of medical
examiners. 1t will be remembered that
during the past few years the question
of admitting Charleston Medical col
lege graduates to practice without re-
quiring them to go before the state
board has several times been before
the legislature. The members Of the
state board, and many leading physi'
clans Of the state, have been agains,
the proposition for several reasons
Among other things, 1t is argued tina,
If Charleston college should be allow
ed such a privilege, it would be tempt.
ed to use it as an inducement to in
competent men who might be unable
to go through higher class colleges
and again that the tendency would be
to lower the standard Of even this col
lege. At the last session Of the gene
raj assembly, an act was passed pro-
viding that graduates Of the Charles
ton medical college, taking the full
course, be admitted to practice with
out further examination. The last
class of the college turned out 81 grad
yates who refused to go before the
state board, and inasmuch as these
graduates have not taken a full course
the state board has decided to make
test case. DR.. ]. L. Napier, presiden1
Of the state board, recently caused the
arrest Of DR.. James c. Moore, in Marl.
boro county, and the doctor Is now
being prosecuted for practicing with
out a license The defendant has EN-
ployed T.. w. Boucher as counsel, anc
his classmates have come to his as
sistance by employing John c. Shep
pard. Hon. Knox Livingston, of Ben
nettsville, Is assisting the solicitor a.
the instance Of the state hoard, and the
outcome is being watched by the med
ical profession cf the state with much
interest.

THE northwestern millers are COM
planning very much about the condition
Of the expert trade in flour and wheat.
It seems that the United States has a
milling capacity Of 6O.OOO.OOO barrels of
flour in excess Of the entire American
consumption, while the total exports
of flour Is less than 20,000,000 barrels.
The trouble is due principally to the
fact that European millers prefer to
grind American wheat into flour them
selves, and accordingly European laws
and European transportation compan-
les operate so as to discriminate
against the expectation of flour in IA
vor Of the expectation Of wheat. The
situation has become so serious as to
bring many northwestern millers al
most face to face with the necessity OF
shutting down their plants, and they
are calling loudly for such a tariff or
reciprocity adjustments as will bring
them relief.

it Is the intention Of the railroad peo-

About the Cherry Tree Scheme.
Rock Hill Journal: Broker J. D.
Scruggs, Of this city, has received
letter from his uncle, Captain James
O. Simmons, dated Henrietta, N. c.,
November Goth, in reference to the
cherry tree company. Captain Sim
mons was a Confederate captain, and
| is one Of the best known and most
reliable men in that section. In his
letter he says: well, Joshua, the
cherry tree company started up here Is
enc of the greatest swindles ever
knew. The company now has about
| 1,600 girls writing for 1t, 30 said:
hear that your paper at Rock Hill is
exposing the matter. If they want any
proof tell them they can get all they
want from the best citizens Of this
county. Every newspaper In the south
ought to expose the company as
fraud and swindle. You can show
this to your newspaper man, and he
can use 1t. or will send him lot OF
names. The company has been taking
In from $400 to $500 from agents al
most daily" captain Simmons enclosed
four separate sample circular letters
being issued by the company. These
letters show without any other evil
dence, that the scheme is q fraud, q
cheat on its face Of the most .contemp-
tible kind, because 1t Is directed
against women. This statement from
one Of the circulars shows that the
company does not hope to work such
a transparent fraud on men: we
prefer that you. make this offer prin-
cipally to young ladies-those that are
competent and trustworthy. We have
found that young ladies will give us
better service than young men will.

dies who can do the work all right and
would like to have the position; you
