CHAMBERLAIN NOT WORRIED
THE HATRED AND JEALOUSY OF
 GREAT BRITAIN.
Colonial Secretary Declares 1t Is Not Due to a Particularly Wicked Government Nation Must Maintain Its Splendid IsoIation-No Imminent or Pressing Danger to British Trade,

London, Jan. 6.-Speaking at Bir- mingham tonight, Joseph Chamber lain, the colonial secretary, referred to the hatred and jealousy of Great Brit ain entertained abroad and denied that this was due to the existence of par ticularly wicked government.
 This is no new thing In history" he said, "and we must maintain our splen- did isolation, surrounded and supported by our colonial kinsfolk."
 Whilst fully admit ting the necessity of finding new markets and keeping abreast of modern times and methods, MT. Chamberlain saw no sign of any imminent or pressing danger to British trade He said During the last five years we have enjoyed an absolutely unparalleled condition of trade and for the future the prospects are exceeding ly good"
 The colonial secretary strongly depre- cated any attempt on the part of the trades unions to restrict the output and reduce all workmen to a dead level of mediocrity.

ATTEMPT TO HOLD UP B. 8; 0. TRAIN
Made at an Isolated Spot Forty lve
 Miles West of Cum berland, Md.

Cumberland, Md, Jan. GA report was received here this afternoon of a bold attempt to hold up Baltimore and Ohio express train No. T. bound for Chicago, which left here at II o'clock last night. The scene of the attempt was at Swanton, an isolated spot on the seventeen mile grade in the Ale shanies, about forty-five miles west of here. The operator, M J. Sarsfield, states that five men came into his of- flee, the operator being alone, and no houses near, and offered him candy. Before he knew it he was knocked into insensibility, a padded club being used over his head. The men then turned a switch, running the fast flying train into derailing switch, used for freight traffic.
 The quick application of air brakes prevented the train from being ditched. The train crew anticipated trouble and the armed express officers who protect trans from hold-ups through that wild region made such a demonstration that the men rushed into the mountain, while shots were exchanged. An armed posse is now reported to be pursuing the bandits.
 The whole country is much excited over this bold affair. The operator recovered consciousness in a short time.

A CALL FOR STEADFASTN ESS
BRYAN FEELS WHAT THE DEMO
 CRATIC PARTY MUST DO.
There Can be No Surrender to the Money Power or to Imperialism-No Reason to Abandon Democratic Prin cipie es and Adopt Others-Repented Defeat Not Likely.

Wooster, O., Jan. 6.-The Hon. Will liam J. Bryan spoke here tonight at the Jackson Day banquet, which was held this evening, at his suggestion, in order that he might keep engagements at New Haven and Boston later in the week. His subject was "Steadfast- ness" and he said in part:
 "A party must have principles or it can have no claim upon public conf dence; and how can it commend it's principles better than by standing by them?
 Who says that the money power is omnipotent and that the democratic party must compromise with it or sur render to it? Not until human nature Is entirely changed can the financiers be intrusted with the guardianship of the producers of wealth; not until greed becomes just can the money changers construct a system for them selves which will be fair to any one else.
 ''Who says that we cannot afford to measure strength with the great mo- nopolies which now arrogantly assume to control the domain of politics as we'll as the field of industry? Not un- til we can gather good fruit from an evil tree, and figs from thistles, can we expect private monopoly to bring forth public blessings.
 Must we abandon the self-evident truth that governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed? Must we accept imperial ism as an accomplished fact and join in the shout for blood and conquest?
 Our republic rests upon solid rock and while it's principles are revered it cannot be overthrown from within or from without, but, if all parties joined together to erect an empire upon American soil, they would build up on the sand and the edice could not en- dure.
 But suppose what no one should as- sume and what no one can prove--that steadfast adherence to democratic principles would result in repeated de- feat, is there any reason why we should abandon those principles and adopt others, or have none at all Those who prefer prison fare, or a servile subjects lot to the dangers of the battlefield, may condemn the Boers for continuing what some describe as a hopeless struggle for independence, but those who can the mighty influence of great deeds know that the sturdy Dutchmen of South Africa have already conferred upon the world a benefit that cannot be measured by money. Their vaor has brought greater security to all the republics of the earth.
 So the democratic party, whether in power or out of power, is serving man. kind when it stands steadfastly for government and insists that that government shall be admins tered according to Jeffersonian maxim, equal rights to all and special privi- eges to none D

SIGNS OF RACE CONNECTION.
Found Between American Indians and
 Paleo- Asiatic Races

Found Between American Indians and Paleo-Asiatic Races. Correspondence of the Associated Pressl
 St. Petersburg, Dec. 2O,-Vladimir Bogoras, ethnologist of the Jessup ex- ploration party, who is returning short ly to New York to report upon the re- suits of his Investigations in Kamchat- ka and neighboring regions, informed the Associated Press correspondent here that he found indisputable connec- tion between the American Indians and the Paleo-Asiatic races on the Boring Sea coast in Kamchatka, ond on the headwaters of the rivers which rise in the Stanovoi mountains.
 This result" says Mir. Bogoras Should be sharply distinguished from the discovery of close resemblances be- tween the American and the Asiatic Es- quimos.
 "The Indians and the Paleo- Asiatic languages are similar in structure, and their mythologies present additional proofs of common origin. The Paleo- Asiatic languages are of American structure.
 T believe the Japanese to be a mixed people, Mongols and Paleo-Asiatics. Concerning the peopling of America, I have formed the hypothesis that this occurred at a period when the Malay archipelago, the Philippines, Formosa and the Japanese islands either formed a continental peninsula connected with Kamchatka or an unbroken series of islands, and when Asia and America were connected"

CHILI-ARGE ENTINE TROUBLT.
Not Yet Definitely settled Inter-
 pefiatton,

Valparaiso, Chill, Jan. 6.-In replying to an interpolation in the chamber of deputies concerning rumors to the ef- feet that Argentine has given Chili twenty-four hours to reply to the ques- ton of police in the Ultima Esporanza territory, Senor Yang, the Chilian min ister of foreign affairs, announced that the dispute between the two countries was to-day in the same status as it was December 25.
 Buenos Ayres, Jan. 6. (via Galveston. Texas. )-The declaration by Chilli rela- tive to the meaning of the paragraphs of the anez-Portella protocol concern ing the policing of the territory known as Ultima Esperanza are satisfactory to Argentina.
 Insomuch as the points wherein Ar gentina considered herself aggrieved by Chili have been provided for the two governments will approve the para graph in question, thus putting an end to the claims arising from the Ultima EspeTanza incident.
 Public opinion is satisfied and ex- presses its approval of the energetic at ttude of the Argentine government.

FEAR OF A CLASH IN PEKIN
MINISTERS ASKED TO KEEP LE-
 CATION GUARDS IN QUARTERS.

Chinese Troops to Enter tho City To-
 day and a Collision is Thought Possi-
 Future Relations With the Court
 Some Think They Should Hold AlooE.
 Pekn, Jan. 6.--The Chinese officials have requested the ministers of the powers to keep the legation guards within their quarters tomorrow in or der to prevent the possibility of a col 1islon between the Chinese and foreign troops. The ministers will comply.
 The families of the foreign diplomats will occupy the buildings which the Chinese government has rendered them for the purpose of viewing the parades in connection with the return of the court of Pekin. There is much criticism of this course among the foreigners, who are now satisfied that the minis ters alone will remain in the legations. They believe that the event should be completely ignored. They say that the presence of any members Of the lega- tions will be construed as being a sort of homage, and will be thus proclaim ed among the people.
 The foreigners are divided into two factions concerning the future relations of the diplomats with the court, one of them holding that they should be limited to the fulfillment of the most formal, obligatory ceremonies, and the other holding that in official and social relations the ministers should endeavor to be more intimate with the court than formerly and should meet all Chinese advances in the most friendly spirit.
 Many foreign soldiers and a few off, cers to-day violated the governments request to keep off the streets, which have been cleaned and decorated for the royal procession. This is likely to create resentment.
 Railroad traffic between Pekin and Pao-TingFu, except on the courts business, has been congested since the arrival of the court at Pao-Ting Flu. Special trains, for two days past, have been bringing the courts baggage here. Official business monopolizes the tele graph lines and the postal service to Pao- Ting-Fu. Brussels, Jan 6.-The director gen eral of the Belgian railroad in China, who conveyed the emperor's and dow ager empress train from Cheng Ting Flu to Pao-Ting-Fu, telegraphs that he [ has been personally thanked by their | majesties, who expressed themselves | pleased and interested by their first ex- perience in railroad travel.
