Lewis said yesterday that every

dissatisfaction at the beginning
of the season was that there had
been no cold weather and nearly
all the cattle presented AT the

.COssACKs BULLY
TWO FOREIGNERS
Arrest Of an American
and a Briton at
Niuchwang.
Threatened With Loaded
Rifles and Bayonets Out
side Russian Lines.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2S.-The incoming
mail from the East has brought to the
Navy Department a number of Chinese
newspapers which contain the news OF
what is termed an outrage upon an
American citizen, and also British citi-
zen, employed by the lumber firm of Bush
Bros. at Niuchwang. 1t is said that these
two men, whose names are not given,
were arrested Illegally and threatened
with loaded rifles and bayonets by a party
OF Cossacks outside the Russian lines at
NluchWang on the 18th of August last, and
that both the British and the American
Consuls at Niuchwang have been making
vigorous representations upon the sub
ject.
The State Department has received from
Minister Conger at Peking a translation
OF series of preliminary regulations
adopted by the recently organized Chi
nese board of national administration,
charged with the reorganization of that
Government on modern and efficient lines.
The sentiments expressed are copserVa-
tive, says Conger, and it is made plain
that there is no intention to initiate the
too brisk pace set by the reformers of
1898, but instead to study Western meth
ods, and, without adopting Western civ
1lfzat1on as q whole, to- adapt to Chinese
conditions such institutions as seem likely
to add strength to the state.

FEAR DEATH MAY

English Court Followers
Say He May Not Live
to Be Crowned.
General Impression Exists
That He Has Some
Fatal Disease.

LONDON, Oct. 2S.-The pertinacity with
which society discusses the rumors re-
garding the health of King Edward has
had a serious effect on the court dress
makers, who expected 70 have been ere
now busily engaged on the court dresses
They are keeping large staffs in almost
complete idleness. The members of So
ciety have apparently made up their
minds that they will not go to any ex-
pense until they are sure that the cor
onation will really occur. There is q very
clearly defined impression in the diplo-
matte corps that the King is threatened
with some organic complaint. Some go
SO far as to say it Is cancer, or Bright 8
disease, or both. Probably the truer So
from the Kings oft-eXpressed dread of
cancer, which has made such ravages in
his own family. and that whatever all
ment may threaten him it has not
reached any definite or dangerous stage,
else he would be quite unable to keep
up his incessant round of public duties
and private pastimes with the regularity
ana zest which he continues to display.
In spite of these facts, there is undoubt-
ediy very alarming premonitlon in court
circles, especially among women, that the
King will never live to be crowned,
which, however baseless, is having serI-
Gus effect on trade. The favorite story
in this connection now current is that a
palmist told queen Alexandra not long
ago that she would never live to be
crowned.

To PAY. TAXES
California and Nevada
Railroad Wants to
Settle.
Five Thousand Dollar Bond
Is Discovered by Trustee
Staats.

BERKELEY, Oct. 2S.-Attorney A. E.
Bolton appeared before the Town Trustees
tonight and offered the members induce
ments to rescind its action of last week
in declaring forfeited the franchise of the
California and Nevada Railroad for nom
payment of taxes. Attorney Bolton. who
represents the receiver for the road, ten
dered- check for 1899 81 in payment of
the delinquent taxes for the last five
years and also offered 4 resolution for the
boards consideration undoing the work of
last week.
Some discussion was provoked over the
final clause of the resolution, which pro-
vided that the Town Trustees waived all
right to declare forfeited the franchise
for failure to run the trains at least once
in six months However, the board was
about to accept the proposition when
Trustee Stats suggested looking up the
old franchise ordinance and its production
developed the. fact that that document
contained a clause fixing a penalty of
$4,000 for non-conformity to the conditions.
Staats discovered that a bond for $4,000
had been put up years ago by the railroad
company as an assurance of good faith
and he wanted the board to make an
effort to get at the subscribers to the in
Strument.
Finally the whole matter was left in
the hands of President Marston and Town
Attorney Hayne.
