Chinese Rebels Powerful.

HONGKONG, April ia Chinese
banker, who fed from the province of
Kwangsi and has arrived here, says
the rebels in that province hold over
thirty towns and villages and that they
are well armed with Mauser rifles and
revolvers. which were smuggled into
KwaI&gsi from the French protectorate
of AMMAN by cOntrabandists disguised
as opium merchants. The rebels have
adopted the name of Hung Stu Chuen,
the famous leader Of the TAPPING re-
bellion. They have placarded the

CITY COUNCIL
MEETING.

There was short session Of City
Council last night, but little business
being transacted. The City Treas.
urcr's report showed balance of
$34 ,093.oS. A communication was
read from the complittee in charge of
the Memorial day exercises of the
Grand Army of the Republican inyit-
ing members of council to turn out
on that day and also attend the
meetings of the committee. On mo-
tion the communication was accepted
and some members of council will
probably attend the meetings.
The fire committee reported in fa-
yor Of Twenty fifth and Market
streets as the most desirable location
for fire company in the Ninth Ward
but that it telt it would be unwise to
recognize either of the three conf
panies recently organized in that
ward. The committee also recon-
mended that the three compAniescon-
solidate. The report was adopted.
Before Council adjourned President
Blaine granted Councilman Smith OF
the Eleventh ward a leave OF alb.
sence for trip to Europe and wished
him pleasant trip and safe return.
The request was granted by Presi-
dent Blaine with a few humorous re-
marks lie said he was about round
ing out 10 months of his career as
President of Council and during that
time had learned that a Councilman
when he wishes to 60 away has to get
the consent of the President before
going.
lie said some time ago Mr.. Smith
had asked him for permission to 60
on the trip, stating that it was a law
for Councilman to get the consent
of the President of that body to 60
away. lis thought it was a joke then
but On looking up the law found that
the President Of Council really had
that much power.
President Blaiue said Mr.. Smith
tod him he was going to Germany
and incidentally would stop at Ireland
aud kiss the Blarney Stone. With u
few more brief remarks he said, IL
grant you the request, may you have
pleasant time and return to us safe.
With a few appropriate remarks
Mr.. Smith thanked President Blaine
for his leave Of absence. Mr.. Smith
will leave Wilmingt ton next Monday
and will Ue gone several months

attending physicians, is staying per-

temperature at one time reached the
alarming height of 1O4 degrees. but
the departure from the palace of Pro-

ries Of Serious Differences.
LONDON, April 1S. - DR.. Han
Sauer, Loyalist Afrikander, speaking
at Bradford last night. was not 0p
timistic concerning the peace negotia
tiOns. He said he thought it quit,
probable that the Beers would ask
Great Britain for G50.OOO,0OO or 800,
O00,0 and agree in return to clear Ou,
Of South Africa altogether.
The Daily Mail claims to have au
thority to announce that bases of peace
have been practically agreed upon a,
Pretoria, but says that some little time
will elapse before the details of the
plan can be perfected. The paper adds
that upon finding that the British gov
ernment refused on Wednesday to mod
ify its terms with regard to amnesty
Punishment and responsible govern.
ment the Boer delegates met again on
Thursday. The British decision, prac.
tically leaving them the alternative OF
accepting the British terms or break
ing up the conference, was then COM
municated to them, and the delegates
proved much more reasonable.
When Lord Miner, the British high
commissioner in South Africa. proms-
ed the delegates one or two seats on the
executive council. subject to the appro-
val of the government and pending the
restoration of responsible govern
mcnt, they practically agreed to accept
the British terms.
Some details. continues The Daily
Mail, which are not likely to create diff
ticulty still remain to be settled.
Lord Miner has summoned from 1o-
hannesburg an Australian expert. who
is to assist in estimating the cost of rc.
building and restocking the Bocr
farms.
King Edward himself is taking a
very active part in the efforts TO end
the war in South Africa, and it is ad-
mitted today that he is insisting upon
peace being brought about, if possible
at all, before the present negotiations
end.
The king wants to end the war before
his coronation and is consulting his
ministry daily upon every plas" OF the
negotiations.
Serious differences. it is said, have
arisen between the Transvaal and
Free State delegations who are dis
cussing peace terms at Pretoria. Gen
craI BOtha and Acting President
Schalkburger. it is reported, have
given the Free State representatives
until April 2l TO come to Il decision,
threatening that thereafter the Trans
vaal delegation will continue the peace
negotiations independently of the Free
State delegates.
