GERM4y FINANCE AND TRADE.

Berlin. May 5.-Although the Boerse greeted the
political developments of last week ju5ilanty these
were not sufficient TO inaUgurate bull movement
At the same time the highest financial circles
gratihed the fall Of DR.. Won MIGUEL and
Herr Brefeld, believing that reform of the Boerse
Law is made more practicable.
The financial reviews point out that the Berlin
Boerse was almost uniniuenced by New-York
While the general tone was rather firm business
very dull One feature OF the week was a re-
vivai OF interest in domestic loans. owing TO the
great abundance OF money. Imperial and Prussan
IS gained 80 pfennigs and the new IS 40 pfennigs.
Interest in foreign rentes very slight and the
same IS true of bank stock. Municipal funds were
more quiet. Cologne is planning loan OF Is OOo 600
marks for street railroads, and a number OF minor
municipal loans are announced
Coal and iron shares irregular. owing TO
continuance OF the conflicting Industrial reports
The rolling mills IN sIesia advanced prices for ex-
ports 10 Russia five marks ton. and the wire and
nail syndicate made a similar advance reporting
that orders were satisfactory. The bar mills made
a slight advance, the coal syndicate and the half
finished goods syndicate allowed 20 marks ton
on exported plate. and the plate mills reported an
improving business. especially in ship plates Never
theless. the "Frankfurter Zeitung' reports fol-
lows:
rnisticaiiy Iron shares mostly weakened. Coal
shares began the week depressed. but recovered

COY. SANFORD ON NEGRO QUESTION
He Says Federal Control of Elections Would Be No
 Help to Them.

Montgomery, April 3.-1n answer 70 communications from students of the Az ricutural College of Michigan, Governor Sanford of Alabama whote them as fol- lows as to Federal control of elections:
 Tn my judgment Federal control of elections would not aid the negro in the exercise. of his rights as a citizen, but on the contrary, would seriously retafd his progress. The solution of the negro problem is one that should be left to the people of the South with whom ne comes in daily contact in the relations of life The conditions are such as cannot be properly understood by those who. are hundreds of miles away and however sincere they may be in their motives. can not possibly do justice to the situation.
 'The white people of the South are just with the negroes, and treat them humane ly and kind; are generous with them in the distribution of the school funds, and are liberal with them in all business transactions The negro pays small part of the taxes of Alabama and receives 47 per cent of the public school fund"

CHINA REFUSES
 RUSSIA $ TERMS Will Not Sign the ManchuTian
 Convention OFFICIAL NOTICE IS SENT u Hung Chang Says This Letter Set ties the Matter Definitely and That Russia Knew It Some Days Ago. 
OFFICIAL NOTICE IS SENT

Pekin, April 3.-The Chinese govern ment has formally notified Russia that China, owing to the attitude of the pow CTS, is not able to sign the Manchuriar convention.
 "It Is China's desire," says the formal notifications, to keep on friendly terms with all nations. At present she is going through a period which Is the most peri lous in the Empires history, and it is necessary that she should have the friendship of all.
 However much she might be willing to grant any special privilege to one power, when others object, 1t is impossible that, for the sake of making one nation friend ly, she should alienate the sympathies of all others
 Li Hung Chang says this letter settles the matter definitely, and that Russia was informally notified to the same effect March g.
 Prince Ching asserts that every China men except u Hung Chang was against the signing of the convention.

GREAT INTEREST WAS
 SHOWN IN WASHINGTON

Washington April 3.-Great interest was manifested in official and diplomatic circles tonight over the Associated Press report from Pekin that the Chinese fin- ally had determined not to sign the Man churian agreement. To the Russian ann bassador, Count Cassini, the news came as great surprise, as he had hoped for a successful conclusion of the convention. Russia, he said, had informed the Chi nese government that she did not mean to take Manchuria, and that her desire was to make such arrangements as would avoid the repetition in the future of the Boxer troubles of last summer. The ambassador declined to indicate what probably would be the future course of his government Russia, in measure, controls the situation in Manchuria as she has possession of the country, and the great mass of her soldiers now are in Asia within that territory. China having refused the terms specified by Russia. the Russians assert she may take her own good time and retire from the country whenever she is inclined to do 80.
 The suggestion is made that the Rus sians may attempt to obtain a further modification of the proposed agreement with China or may seek to obtain from the powers opposed to it in it's present form the points of objection held by them with a view to the preparation of a future document that will overcome many of these objections, and assure without any equivocation the absolute integrity of the Chinese Empire. The United States was firm in the opinion that 1t was fnexpe- dient for the Chinese government to enter into treaty with any of the powers in- terested in the present status of the Chi nese situation pending the general set clement of the matters at issue and this position. backed by the views of other governments, 1t is felt here. has been an important factor with the imperial gov ernment in determining its attitude upon the Russian government.

MACARTHUR HAS
 BEEN INSTRUCTED Secretary Root Wires Him Con- cerning Disposition of
 AguinaIdo.

Washington, April 3.-After a consulta- tion with the President Secretary Root tonight sent a cable message to General Macarthur giving him instructions re- garding Aguinaldo and the views of the administration on some recommendations as to Philippine affairs, made by General Macarthur. There is no dspositiol to allow Aguinaldo liberty unless 1t Is dem onstrated that he intends to comply fully with the amnasty terms and his oath of allegiance.
 The cablegram sent tonight was quite specific as to the policy of the govern ment, but It's text was not made public. It Is expected that Aguinaldo would like certain assurances from the government and the message informed General Mac Arthur just what the government would do. While 1t is believed the insurrection would end before long without the as- sistance of Aguinaldo, the government would be glad to hasten the pacifcation of the islands

MIR. eoULD'S ELECTION.
His Connection With the Southern
 Pacific of Much Significance.

New York. April 3.-The Mail and Ex- press, discussing MT. Gould's election to the Southern Pacific board, says:
 "The election of MT. Gould Is probably of more significance from the point of view of possible developments in the railroad world than that of any of the old officers.
 His system is in a sense independent of the transcontinental lines, but in form ulating what has been termed the great CT Missouri Pacific system,' 1t Is believed that he will have to make an alliance with some of them. It Is not to be sup posed that from today's developments that the Missouri Pacific will in the flu ture use the Central Pacific from Ogden to the coast. By the acquisition of the Rio Grande Western and the Denver and Rio Grande 1t has through line from St. Louis to Ogden"

Rebels Hold Strong Positions.

Kingston, Jamaica, April 3.-According to advices received here today from Co., lon, Colombia. the rebels continue to hold strong positions in the neighborhood of the city of Panamay. The attempts of the government troops to drive them out have signally failed. and the govern ment commanders are now content to guard the city against attack.
 The Liberals are confident of ultimate success. Business in important centers of Colombia is still paralyzed.
