TUAN AND BOXER HORDES
MENACE CHINA'S PEACE
Anti-fOreign AgitatOr and Leader is Organizing an
Army With Modern Weapons.
Great Preparations For War Being Made in the OrentRussa
Was Disappointed

capturing, or at any rate watching his
former patron and chief, Tuan, has
oeen very successful thus far. With
regard to the disturbance in KWan 81.
the North China Daily News says:
The central government in Pekin,
according to a telegram received BY
the local mandarins on Saturday, are in
most pertuTbed state, owing to the
serious news simultaneously received
idtely from Canton and Kueilin, the
capitals Of the two Kuang provinces.
The high authorities of the two prov
lnces report that the disbanded SOL
aleTs OF General Feng TIE Tsain, num-
beTlng nearly 1000 men. have Joined
the insurgents Of Kuangsi. which have
rendered the situation in the south
very precariOUs and the crisis a dan
gerous one These men were all armed
with modern firearms in 1900, which
they refused to give up when disband-
ed The insurgents number now some
$1,000 men, and when supplies in food
have been gathered in by them, we
may expect to hear some serious news
about them.
To Raise a Big Army.
BY the spring of 1903 Governor Cen
eral Yuan is resolved. it is said. to
have an army Of 100 900 men, disciplined
and equipped according to modern
methods.
The nucleus Of this army will be the
force of $4,000 organized by Yuan in
1878 in Chi Ii, and in 1S97-19OO in
Shantung Of this force $500 men are
now in Shantung, whence they viii
march to Chi Ii as soon as the present
governor Of Shantung has raised his
intended army of 10000 men. The re-
mainder of Tuans troops are at PaO
Ting Flu.
News from Jehol, published by the
Asapi, says that a Belgian missionary
has suffered a gross outrage at the
hands of a party of Boxers, and that
General Ma has been instructed to
punish the offenders. Another telegram
from Pekin to the same journal alleges
that two foreign soldiers have been
killed BIZ Chinese braves

Luessen hospital in Hanoi; their infant

The launch was obviously overloaded
with passengers and merchandise. and

MAY NOT VETO THE BILL.
Roosevelt's Statement Concerning
State Control Misunderstood.
fe,ecio1 20 Tho F4erold


Washington, April 1.-The house ir-
rIgation committee will hold a meeting
Saturday, when it is expected the
question of substituting the irrigation
bill which passed the senate for the one
previously reported from the house If
TigatiCn committee viii be decided. It
is believed the senate bill will be sub
stituted and efforts concentrated upon
it by western members for its passage.
II is not believed by the friends of the
bin that President Roosevelt an
nounced that If the bill passed with a
section providing for state control he
would veto it. They assert that what
the president did say was that he had
received a communication asking him
to veto the bill if it contained state
control provisions. Western members
in charge of the bill say they viii ad-
here to the state control provision.

5 THE LATEST FINANCIAL PERIL.
FIRE IN AC0PPER MINE
1t Has Been Burning More Than
a Year, Doing Great
Damage.
lspeciaI 10 me Herald.)

Keswick, ca. April 1.-The Iron Noun
tain mine the greatest copper mine IN
California, is still bothered by fire. The
fire started q year and a half ago and the
sulphide ore on certain levels has been
burning more OF less ever since. In Feb
ruarv. when the heavy rains came, it was
confidently predicted that the fire would
be extinguished. The waters of Slick
Rock creek were fiumed into the mine
from the surface and allowed TO percOlate
through the lower levels, where the tim
bers and the sulphide ore were burning.
This did much good. but it was not en-
tirely effective. Through cracks and
crevlces on the surface clouds of steam
and smoke still issue The extraction of
ore is retarded. and the amount coming
down to the smelter at Keswick is not
one-quarter as much as when the mine
is operated freely.

VICTORIA. B. c.. April 1.-Dr. w. A.
Y P Martin, who a month ago re-
signed the principalship Of the
Imperial Chinese college at Pelkin, and
has since been offered a similar posi-
ton with the Chinese university at WI
Chang, arrived by the steamer En-
press of Japan today.
Professor Martin was in Pekin during
the siege and says there has been many
changes since then. China has COM
pleted a treaty with the foreign powers
and ali is quiet now, he said, but now
long it viii remain a placid country no
one can say. The recent treaty Of
Britain and Japan guarantees peace for
a time only, for there is a feeling tend
ing to the disintegration Of the country
among some Of the powers, among
whom Britain, Japan and the United
States are for the maintenance Of the
integrity Of China. but Russia, France
and others are for slicing up the king
dom.
Regarding the Manehurian question,
Russia did not get the special conces-
SiOns favored by the treaty made by
L Hung Chang. Even to the hour of
his death, when the Chinese statesman
was all but unconscious, NJ. Lessar was
working with him to have him place
his signature to the treaty by which
Russia would have secured all she
wanted

Manchuria ?''
mo. I do not think they will. Rus
STA viii make the excuse that the
/ troops are necessary for the protection
of her railways, and in my opinion,
Russia viii ultimately have sole pos
session of Manchuria and Mongolia.
The latter province has not been
brought into question, but Russia is
going to build a railway line across
Mongolia from the nearest point Of the
boundary TO Pekin. The Russians are
scheming in many ways for the reten-
ton of the districts. There were ru-
mOrs before I left Pekin that rebel
forces were in motion in Kansu and
were supposed to be acting in concert
with troops of Prince Tuan, the ex-
Boxer leader. I do not think it is
likely that they viii march on Pekin,
but they viii hold an area IN Shansi
and Mongolia. In Ningshia, his Eansu
capital Prince Tuan has strong
point.
Prince Tuan Is Busy.

emissary, Vi Ko, said to have been dis
