CHAPTER XVII.


From one OF the luxuriously furnished
lchSmbers OF her fathers elegant mansion
Jenny Lincoln look9d notirnfilly out up
on the thick. angry clouds which, the live
long day, had obscured the winter sky.
Drtamily for a while she listened TO the
patter Of the rain as Il fell upon the de-
serted pavement below, and then, with a
louE. deep sigh, she turned away. and
wept. Poor Jenny! the day was rainy
and dark and dreary, but darker far were
the shadows stealing over her pathway.
Tnrn which way she would there was not
one ray of sunshine which even her buoy
ant spirits could gather from the sur
rounding gloom. Her only sister was
slowly but surely dying, and when Jenny
thought OF this she felt that IL Rose could
only live she'd try aud bear the rest; try
to forget how much she loved William
Bender, who that morning had honorably
and manfully asked her OF her parents,
and been spurned with contempt--not by
her father, for could he have followed
the dictates Of his better Judgment he
would willingly have given his daughter
to the care OF one who he knew would
carefully shield her from the storms OF
life. 1t was not he, but the cold, proud
mother, who so haughtily refused Will
liam's request, accusing him OF taking
underhand means to win her daughters
affections.
II had rather see you deadr' said the
stony-hearted woman, when Jenny knelt
at her feet and pleaded for her to take
back the words she had spoken. II had
rather see you dead than married to such
as he. mean what have said, and you
will never be his"
Jenny knew William too we'll to think
he would ever sanction an act of Clisobe-
dience to- her mother, and her heart grew
faint and her eyes grew dim with tears,
as she thought of conquering the love
which had grown with her growth and
strengthened with her strength. There
was another reason, too, why Jenny
should weep as she sat alone in her room.
From her father she had heard OF all that
was to happen. The luxuries to which all
her life she had been accustomed were
to be hers no longer. The pleasant coun-
try house in Chicopee, dearer far than
her city home, must be sold, and no
where In the wide world was there a
place for them to rest.
Mr.. Lincoln entered his daughters
room, and bending affectionately over her
pillow said, How is my darling to-dayy'
.Retter. hatter--alm0st well. returned
Rose, raising herself in bed to prove what
she had said. II shall be out In few
DAYS, and then you'll buy me one OF those
elegant plaid silks, won't you? All the
girls are wearing them, and haven't
had new dress this winter. and here
'tis almost March. !"
Oh! how the father longed to tell his
dying child that her next dress would be
a shroud. But he could not. He was too
much man Of the world to speak to her
Of death; so without answering her Ques-
tion he said; "Rose, do you think YOU
are able to be moved into the country?''
"What, to ChicopeeI that horgid, dull

opened shutter that ella was alone. re.

leaning upon her elbow, the soft curls Of

exposed to view. She seemed deeply

he gaxed upon her felt glow Of pride In

Thus they were betrothed-Henry Lin

man. as he reached the open air. and be-
gan to breathe more freely. Goodness

he quickly, as he became conscious Of

was turning the corner.
Looking up, he met Mary Howard's .
large dark eyes fixed rather inqniringly
upon him. She was accompanied by one
OF Mr., Selden's servants, aud he felt
sure she was going TO visit her sister. or

Sixteen japanese Taken Prisoners o. Fraser
fight Between Fish Boais

Vancouver, b. c., July 1s.--The
developments in the Fraser river
strike situation during the past "a
hours show the union fishermen have
the upper hand, having accomplished
q coup d'etat which is without par
alIel in the history Of the many labor
disturbances in British Columbia. As
result Of battle OF small boats out
in the gulf q battle in which shots
were exchanged but in which no COM
batant was killed, 16 japanese were
taken prisoners by the strikers. The
Japanese boats were overturned, the
rifles and fishing gear Of the Orientals
thrown into the water, and the Japan
ese themselves taken to one Of the
small islands away out in the gulf
Exactly where this island is located
Is secret OF the white fishermen, for
they chose it several weeks ago for oc-
casions such as this. They say they
will continue to place non-union Jap
anese there for the remainder Of ths
season, or until the place is discov-
cred by the authorities. All that is
known is that the island is between
here and Nanaimo, so miles away,
and that it is hard to find. The Jap
anese viii be given food every few
days and maintained comfortably.

Two provincial constables we're out

the arrest OF six white fishermen.
The Japanese held big meeting at
Steyeston and raised by voluntary
subscriptions "a, 600 for 9 japanese
hospital, which they think may be
needed, and then discussed the salmon
catching situation. Some we're in
favor of joining the union men in the
strike especially as the run of salmon
had been small this season upt to date.
The meeting broke up without definite
action.
This evening a big run Of salmon
is reported as coming in from the
south. The Gamers think the union
men will not stand firm, in view OF
the temptation to participate in their
catching. There is renewed talk this
evening of turning out the militia.
Such severe storm ragged at the
mouth OF the Fraser river last night
that the union patrol boats, which
were to have attacked the Japanese
fishermen, we're afraid to leave Stew
enston. The Japanese kept coming
during the night without fish. Five
japanese are reported to have been
drowned.

About Ous-ThIsd Il Treasure Was Brought

Out by -Four Women
Seattle, Wash, July is. - The
steamship Humboldt arrived this
morning from Skagway with 40 pas
sengers and $500, 900 in Klondike
gold. The treasure was distributed
between dozen passengers from Daw-
son and varied in sums from 81 600
to $62, 600. These people left the in
terror subsequent to July a, and bring
news that three Of the river steamers
are partly wrecked on the river be-
tween Dawson and White Horse.
The Humboldt left Skagway July9.
A strange feature concerning the
personnel of the Humboldt's Dawson
passengers is the fact that four women.
possess about one-third OF the treasure
which came out ON the steamer.
Purser Shoup reports that consid-
cradle gold has been started down
the river from Dawson and will come
out via st. Michael and the ocean
route. Several large consignmnets
left Dawson after July /, but the
exact amount is not known. 1t will

ULT|MATUM SENT TO China
Says China Must Sign the Manchur-
rinn Convention or Take the Con-
Observation-Disclosures Relations

Washington, April Information mas
reached here to the effect that the Rus
sian government, being seriously perturbed
by the course Of China in not signing the
Manchurian agreement, largely because OF
the protest made by the several powel,
has conveyed a distinct and unmistakable
indication to China that if this course is
persisted in there may be an interruption
of diplomatic relations between Russia and
China and termination of the present.
intercourse between them. This is little
short Of an ultimatum that China must
sign or take the consequences of a termina
ton of her friendly relations with Rus
STA.
10 what extent the United States will
take cognizance OF Russia's disposition to
enforce the signing Of the agreement has
not yet been made apparent. 1t appears
to be the policy Of Chinese authorities to
consider this as subject which concerns
the powers quite as much "a it does China.
The matter has become further compi
Gated by reports reaching Washington that
the Chinese authorities are divided on the
course to be pursued, some Of the most
influential, including Lii Hung Chang, urg-
ing that acquiescence be given to the Rus
sian proposals, while others insist on re-
jecting the agreement. The attitude of Lii
Hung Chang is accounted for by his well
known friendliness for Russian interests.
In this case, however, there appears to be
arrayed against him the strong influence
of the southern viceroys, Chan-chi-tung
and La-Kun-Yi, who oppose the signing
of the treaty.
The reports reaching here show that the
agreement had not yet been signed. Its
status is most peculiar. The time within
which it was to be signed expired last
week, but on that day YangYu the Chi
nese minister, fell in the legation and hurt
his head SO that he was unable to transact
business. This misfortune caused much
amusement here and some irritation in
certain quarters, as it had been recognized
as timely means of avoiding direct &C.
ton on the subject. 1t is not clear to
what extent the Russian intimation has
gone, but in any event it gives an urg.
ency to China's course which has not been
presented thus far.
