FEAR AN UPRISING
Washington Alarmed Lest Sioux
in South Dakota Go on
Warpath.

Washington, March 18-Some alarm
is felt here among persons who know
the Sioux Indians best, lest the rest
less clement on the Pine Ridge and
Rosebud reservations in South Dakota
take advantage Of the unprotected con-
dition of the country thereabouts to
rise in revolt against the government.
The ostensible reason will be the de-
crease of the rations by about one
third. This reduction is a step in the
right direction, and in pursuance of
Commissioner Jones' policy of putting
the Indians on self-reliant basis by
degrees. The policy is naturally un
popular among the improvident In
dians, and as the nearest army post is
Fort Robinson in Nebraska and there
is only one troop of cavalry, troop F
of the Tenth, and the Indians on the
two reservations number about 10, 900,
the results of an uprising just now
might be pretty serious.
One old Indian, who has always
been conservative, has written to a
friend in this city that he is hungry
and that he has about made up his
mind that he Might better die hot
than die cold, which means that it
will pay him better to invite fight
with the whites than to starve to
death.
At the Indian office all alarming
reports are discredited, as the agents
in the field and the inspectors most
recently in from South Dakota report
there is nc danger in sight.

ENGLAND MUST SUBMIT TO
RUSSIA'S PLEASURE.
OFFICIAL STATES The CASE
Empire Has No Intention Of En-.
gaging in War Over Chin
ese Contention.

London. March 1S-The foreign
cure more satisfactory statement Of
the intentions OF Russia as to Man
churia, but the officials deprecate the
British press agitation of the subject.
On all sides it is officially and other
wise sail that Great Britain has not
the slightest intention of resorting to
hostilities against Russia, whatever
may be the outcome of the present ne
gotiations.
While hostilities are out Of the
question, it is not unlikely that diIlo-
matte relations between Great Britain
and Russia will become strained al
most to the breaking point. Possibly
British warships may be dispatched to
| bring pressure to bear upon Russia,
but war will not result unless some
fracas, quite unauthorized by London,
has already occurred between the op-
posing forces at Tien Tsin. This as
sertion is based upon exhaustive in
quiries made by the Associated Press
in London.
An official Of the government, whose
position makes it undesirable that he
should be named in this connection.
said: lit is useless that our news
papers should indulge in violent Ian
guage. They forget that we have got
our army in South Africa and have nc
other army or the making of another
one elsewhere. It is impossible to &c
to war with Russia.

BRITISH PRESS COMMENT.
Mail Says Nations Face Has Been
Slapped.

London, March 18 - The Times
makes the following announcement:
We learn that Count Won Waldersee
has interfered as commander-in-chief
of the allied forces in China to put an
end to the mutually hostile attitude Of
the British and the Russian troops at
Tien Tsin.
There is no confirmation of this
statement in other quarters, but it
has an air of extreme probability and
will be received by England with feel
ings of considerable relief.
The Daily Mail in an editorial,
which frankly faces the disagreeable
situation, says: We must admit that
this is no juncture Ito risk quarrels.
Our ornaments are inefficient, and our
fleet in the far east is so weak that it's
position would be perilous. 1t is a
painful process for the nation to have
it's face slapped but until the coun-
try compels the government to put
our house in order it is humiliation
to which we must accustom our
selves''

MANY ARE INJURED
Serious Conflicts Between Students
and Authorities at St. .
Petersburg.

London, March 18-Speclal dis
patches from st. Petersburg describe
fierce fighting between demonstrators
and Cossacks. The latter charged the
mob at gallop and the people replied
with volleys of stones. a Cossack
officer, who was struck on the head by
an iron bolt, was unhorsed. The
Cossacks, on seeing their leader fall,
dismounted and engaged in hand to
hand fight, using their whips freely
on the people. Altogether 800 stu
dents were arrested.
The fight lasted over an hour and
disturbances continued late in the
evening. Seventy or 80 students were
driven by the police into surrounding
yards and detained for examination.
Many women had their faces cut open
by the whips of the police. Other
women were badly crushed. A child
was killed and more were fatally hurt,
but it is impossible to learn accurate
numbers.
A number of students, who had re-

holy images and whistling while the
sacred elements were being prepared
for sacrament. Thereupon the con-
gregation began to thrust the dis
turbers outside and a general fight
ensued. One of the cathedral banners
was seized by the students, who used
it in fighting outside the cathedral,
where proolamations were thrown
among the crowd containing such
phrases as Long live liberty and free
government, and "Down with the
czar, Down with rotten officials. =
Finally the students unfurled red
flag and an attempt by the police to
seize it was the signal for general
fight.

An Awful Question.


What would be the commercial effect
Of the certain knowledge that tho world
was coming to an end in fifty years2
Well, the first effect would be rather
social and moral than commercial.
though, Of course, 1t would react very
strongly on the business world. Those
who in the ordinary course Of afrairs
would be dead before fifty years had
passed would be the least affected, and
younger people would probably become
as resigned to universal death as they
are now to the equally certain individ-
ual death. Therefore, at first there
would be but little change. People
would have to live and therefore they
would have to work, while capitalists
would have to keep their money invest
ed; but as the last year Of the world
came nearer enterprise and industry
would naturally slacken. 1t would be
no use for parents to work for their
children, or even for children to he edu-
Gated for the life they would never live,
and SO the Industrial fabric would
gradually crumble away as men ceased
to provide for day that would never
come. Commercial activity would
probably give place to religious frenzy
on the one hand and apathy or bound
less license on the other. Under these
circumstances the last few years Of the
worlds life would be appalling beyond
description.
