Berlin, April 8.-The entire German
press is still greatly excited over the EN-.
reror's recent utterances on the occasion
Of his toasts and the reviews in the weekly
press confirm this condition. The Cologne
Volks Zeitung says Emperor William's
words to the Emperor Alexander Grena.
der regiment upon the occasion Of their
installation in their new barracks near the
ernperor's palace, when he called them his
lite guards, ETC., have been received every
where with dismay and amazement, but
sadder still is the fact that the emperor
had the regiments barracks built in close
proximity to the castle, which shows that
the emperor meant what he said upon that
occasion. The paper then dissects the EN-.
peror's toast concerning Russian German
relations and says it i evident that some
body is systematically trying to embrol
these hitherto friendly relations, and from
the emperor's hints this can only be Great
Britain or Japan. The paper concludes;

Syracuse Rapid Transit company vas

OswegO canal in the heart of the city. the
bridge suddenly gave way, dropping the

car, and horse and wagon loaded with
lumber were piled on top Of the heap.
About 40 persons were injured, several
dangerously.
Had the canal been filled with water.
the result Of the accident would have been
terrible. The car struck the tow path end
first and then slid of into the mud at the
canal Bottom, where it stuck. When the
crash came people on the street called the
fire department. Ladders were quickly
lowered and the injured carried up and
sent to their homes or to hospitals.

GO feet wide. It was broken sharp off at

Assassinate the President.
London, April l0.-A dispatch to the
Evening News from Paris says that the
French detectives were privately informed
of projected attempt to assassinate Pres
ident Loubet during his coming trip. Ex-
traordinary precautions have been taken
everywhere, and the usual police protec-
ton has been doubled. Outsiders have
been excluded from the railroad stations.
Ten thousand soldiers have been detailed
to maintain order during the French pres
ident's stay at Nice, where stringent or
ders have been issued to vigorously sup
press the slightest hostile demonstration.
President Loubet is inclined to laugh at
the detectives fears that an attempt win
be made upon his life.

ANOTHER CHINESE REBELLION
HEADED BY ruNa-FUH-s1AH.
Formerly Commander I'm Northern
Army--Court IL Seriously Alarmed
.-Prince Tuan 10 Implicated Also.

st. Petersburg. April 0.-The rumors
which have been rife during the past few
days Of an outbreak Of y rebellion, headed
by General Tung- Nh-San, the former
commander of the northern army, in the
provinces Of Mongolia and Shen-si, have
been absolutely authenticated.
Elaperor II Alarmed.
Pekin, April Iii Hung Chang and
Prince Chang have received information
ON the subject Of the Chinese revolt,
which, though indefinite. still proves that
the court is seriously alarmed.
General Fnh-Sian was, according to last
accounts, about 100 miles from the court,
with 1900 regular troops, all supposed to
be devoted to himself. The court has
about the same number Of soldiers at
Sian.fu, but it is probable that the troops
Of Tung- Fu-Sian are better drilled and
better armed.
It is believed that the Monaghan rebel
lion was brought about through the
agents Of Prince Tuan and General Tling-
Fuh-Sian.
Ii Hung Chang thinks there are about
5000 regular troops in Mongolia, and in
clines to the belief that they have not
joined the rebellion. He does mot think
the court 10 in any danger and thinks the
object Of Prince Tuan (who was last re-
ported At HsulShn with 10000 men pre-.
pared to resist arrest) and General Tung-
Fuh-Sian is to. create diversion of inter-
est in order to force unconditional pro-
lection Of themselves.
The ministers Of the powers do not think
that, provided foreign interests do mot suf-
fer, any present interference is likely. Il
the dynasty should BE- overthrow it
would to certain extent, delay the peace
negotiations, but they consider that re-
gims mot bound by traditions like those
Of the present court probably would be
much easier to deal with eventually, as the
ceremonial could be much curtailed.
Prince Ching, who, as relative, may
be considered to take the court view Of the
situation, thinks the rebellion is storm
in teacup. He says the present court il
loved and esteemed by nine tenths Of the
population Of China, and that the same
proportion Of able bodied men in China
would rise to protect the existing dynasty.
The empress dowager, as the adviser of the
emperor, holds the affections Of the people
not dreamt Of and not understood by for
eigners. Her slightest wish is the EN-
peror's law, though he is by no means the
figurehead the foreign powers frequently
suppose. The emperor recognizes her abil.
ity, invaluable aid and advice.

CHINESE INDEMNITY CLAIMS.
Plenipotentiaries win Ask for 400
100000 Taels.

Pekin. May 9.-An indemnity claim
OF 45O.OO0,OOO tae!s will be presented to
the Chinese plenipotentiaries this even
ing. Official Chinese throughout the
empire have been communicating with
the court and giving advice. Most Of
them seem to favor a loan guaranteed
by the foreign powers, Others, promi-
nent among whom is Chang Chi Tung,
believe In raising the money in every
possible way without loan and In pay
ing off the entire demand within five
years.
The court has considered methods Of
raising twenty millions extra annually,
and Professionally approved the plan,
but the Chinese plenipotentiaries have
instructions TO obtain reduction OF the
indemnity demanded, as far as pos
sibe.
Whatever the final demands Of the
powers may be, II is not believed that
the opposition will be much more than
a matter Of form.
The ministers Of the powers met this
morning and decided that the Chinese
should be given TO understand thor
oughly that the amount did not con-
stitute the claim, but was the total Of
the expenses, including private claims
considered fair, and was meant more
TO obtain an opinion from official
sources as TO Chlna's ability to pay and
also as TO what means she would
