Pekin, China, March %. The foreign
ministers seem utterly unable to agree
as to the best methods of policing the
legation quarters. The proposition
most favored by the majority and most
complained Of by the minority, is one
providing that men of the regular
armies shall be detailed for the service,
under one officer connected with the
allies. United States Special Com
missioner RockhIll is one who objects
to this plan, as is also the British
minister, Sir Ernest Satow, who says
that, though an international force is
desirable, it would be better that the
police detail should be composed OF
soldiers who are not liable to be called
away when they are most useful. liz ID
also undesirable, he thinks, that the
commandant should be an officer
actively connected with any army,
while the intention to make each lega-
tion practically an armed camp is a
great mistake and is liable to cause
friction and it would be better far to
make general International district.
The time which. the Russians have
given the Chinese to sign the Man-
churian agreement expires on Tuesday,
and should the agreement not be signed
then, Russia will break off the negotia
tions. The agreement practically an
nexes Manchuria.
Prince Ching and Ii Hung Chang
consulted this morning, but did not
decide either to sign the convention or
appeal to the Powers.
On behalf of China, Ii Hung Chang
desires to express gratitude to America
for her position in the matter.
The attitude of M. De Giers, the
Russian minister, at the meeting OF
the foreign Representatives, is en-
barrassing and causes considerable
annoyance. He either refuses to agree
with the other ministers or holds
apart entirely.
A committee will consider the ques-
ii ion of China's ability as regards in
demnity and the most practical methods
for guaranteeing payment of indemnity
to the Powers.
1t Is not thought likely, on account
of Sir Robert Hart's increasing age and
the gradual approach of feebleness, that
he will continue long in charge of the
imperial customs on behalf of the
Powers
= The body Of Capt. Riley aud seven
enlisted men, which were buried at the
American leagtion, were removed TO the
Temple OF Agriculture, this morning,
with military honors.

severity. The military, the circular
further says, can be called upon when
firing is necessary, and the cavalry
may be summoned upon any occasion
to clear the streets.

BURGLARS WRECK A BANK
But They Got Only Five Hundred Dol.
lars For Their Trouble.
MISSED FIVE THOUSAND IN GOLD
Also, Securities to the Amount
of $4,000.
ARE BEING PURSUED BY BLOODHOUNDS

Somerset, o., March 26. = Seven
bandits partially wrecked the State
Bank Of Somerset, early today by OK.
ploding heavy charge of nitroglycerine
in the vault doors. They secured $500,
appropriated two livery rigs, held a
posse of citizens at bay and escaped in
the face of heavy fire. Bonds and
securities TO the amount OF $50, 600, and
So, 900 In gold coin were overlooasd by
the bandits. The bank was fully in
sured and its business will not be in-
terrupted.
A heavy explosion in the bank build
ing, shortly before 2 a. M, aroused
citizens living in the vicinity of the
lack. John Hayes, whose home is
directly opposite the bank building,
raised a window quietly and observed
four men standing in front CT the bank.
He saw that the whole front Of the
two-story brick building, in which the
institution was located. had been shat
tered and believing he could frighten
away the men, who, it was evident,
wero much alarmed by the strength Of
the explosion, he hastily donned his
clothes and sailed forth. When he
reached the sidewalk be was challenged,
and unuer the influence of four rides
pointed at his head, he again mounted
the stairs and secured arms. Mean
while other persons began to. appear.
William Lovett opened fire on the
bandits with rife, but bis aim was
not of the best and his shots only
served to draw the fire OF the robbers.
Ahe shooting sooD became general, as
citizens crept toward the bank from all
directions and the robbers evidently
began to think of escaping.
At signal from the four on guard,
three others emerged from the debris of
the bank, bearing several sacks into
which they had hurriedly placed their
loot.
The robbers were under good dis
cipline and their leader gave his or 1ers
like military leader:
"All ready, forward march. Single
file they marched u der the shadows of
the trees which lined the sidewalk,
turned corner olambered into two
rigs and drove in a northerly direction.
Citizens took up the chase arf at 4
O'Clock found the rigs deserted along
the roadside The sheriff of Perry
county had been notified by telephone,
and arrived at daylight with pack of
bloedhounde, which will he Hsed in.
tnO Chhbcs lbo iObDbfo Wotd buJOobs-
fully traced around town by tbs hounds.
1t was found they had broken open a
blacksmith shop to secure tools, and
then had taken the rigs in which they
escaped from livery stable near the
bank So successful were the hounds
in their work that it is hoped the entire
gang will be bagged.
President Samuel Ream Of the Somer-
set Bank said this morning that his
institution will not suffer in the least,
except for the Inconvenience caused by
the wrecEing of the vault and the b} W.
ing out of the front portion Of The
building. The loss is fully covered,
he said, by burglar insurance
The bulk OF the balk's funds, he
said, are on deposit in other cities,
otherwise the robbers might have been
richly rewarded for their daring deed.

LA GAS9OGNE'S ROUGH VOYAGE.

New York, March 26. -Battered by
fierce seas and tossed about by terrific
gales, the French Line steamer La
Gascogne arrived today from Havre, 4S
hours overdue.
The liner left Havre on March 10th,
and until March Goth, had very fine
weather. On the morning of the 2lst
the wind came up from the north west
ana the gales lasted throughout the fol-
lowing three days and several times
the steamer was obliged to turn tail and
run before the fury of the blast Great
seas broke over the starboard side with
enormous force The lifeboats on the
upper deck were wrenched from the
davits and smashed, the davits being
bent almost double. Two OF the life
RATS were lifted bodily from the upper
deck and dropped down upon the upper
structure, smashing skylights and
ventilators.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, and vicinity Devastated
by Terrific Wind and Rain.
Birmingham, Ala, March ga
terrific wind and rain storm passed
over Birmingham and vicinity today.
Much damage was done. Its extent
is not yet known, owing to the de-
moralized condition of telephone and
telegraph wires.
large number of houses are reported
to have been blown down in the south
western section Of the city. A rumor
was circulated that thousand persons
were hurt. This, however, lacks con
firmation. although it is known many
persons we're injured.
The entire police force, fire depart
ment and all the ambulances In the
city, together with scores of surgeons,
have been summoned to the scene.
The same storm swept over Irondsle,
seven miles east. and, it is said, praoti
cally destroyed the business part of the
town. Seven men are reported killed
there and many injured.
Pratty City also suffered much
damage. The public school building
was unroofed, and the steeple Of the
First M. L. Church was blown off.
Many negro cabins were wrecked and a
number of people hurt.
North Birmingham and other suburbs
also suffered. The wind blew fearful
gale. Rain fell in torrents and is still
falling.
1t is.feared that when full reports
come in the damage will be shown to
have been extremely heavy.
