REJOICE AT
PROTECTION
BRITISH FARMERS HAPPY BE-
CAUSE OF CORN TAX.
KRUGER FORCED CHANGE
Prices Of Flour and Grain Advanced
No Rebate to Be Allowed
on Forward Contracts.

New York, April 15:-The New
York Tribune's London correspondent
says: Paul Kruger, besides stagger-
ing humanity, has driven the last nail
in the coffin of free trade. Sir Michael
Hicks-Beach has resisted considerable
pressure and has yielded reluctantly
to Sir Robert Giffen, who was once the
hope of the stern, unbending Cob
denites, and who has been coaching
him in the columns of the Times, and
at last his cue is taken. The taxation
of corn is resumed, although the aboli-
tion of the corn laws was the supreme
end of Cobden's agitation which con-
verted England into free trade ma
ton. The hands on the dial plate, as
devout Cobdenites will say, are now
turned back.
Hicks-Beach sought to minimize the
Importance Of the new taxation by
describing it as revival Of the regis
tration duty on wheat and flour, which
Lowe ought never to have repealed,
and which had nothing to do with the
portective system, but Sir William
Vernon Harcourt did not allow the
house of commons to be deceived by
sophistries, and characterized the tax
alton of food as incompatible with
the free trade system

vALDEs TO EAGLE CITY.
English and American Company to
Build an Alaskan Line.

Seattle, April 16.-It is expected
that work on a railroad from Valdes
to Eagle City will begin shortly and
be rushed to completion without de-
lay. The company which, it is said,
will construct the road, is an English
and American concern and is capital
lied at e3,0OO,O0O. The distance to
be covered by the railway is 40 miles
It will provide an all-American route
to the Klondike.
It is the intention of the company
to begin operations at several points
along the route in order to facilitate
and hasten construction. The route
leads through the Copper river coun-
try, the Tanana district and many
other promising mining localities
The harbor at Valdes is one of the
few really good ones in Alaska. The
northern terminus, Eagle City, is al
most in the heart of the great Klon-
dixie country.

Ing it. AS successor to Bishop Whip
pie, the new appointee will become
at once an interesting parsonage in
the northwest. The Catholic church
has very large interests among the In.
dians, but hitherto has had no rep.
representative on this board.
For some time it was believed Arch
bishop Ryan would not be appointed,
but that the president would select
g layman or some prelate from the
western Indian country. Catholic
leaders, however, united on the Phil
adelphia archbishop and so the presi-
dent quickly fell into line with their
plans. Archbishop Ireland Of st. Paul
and Bishop O'Gorman Of South Da-
kota, now in Washington, both be-
lieved to be possibilities, strongly ad
vocated Archbishop Ryan's appoint
ment. Their influence is believed to
have had great weight with the pres
ident.

Farmers Are Happy.

Birmingham, April 16.-Reports
from every section of the grain grow
ing districts of England and Wales
tell of the jubilation of the farmers
because the government has decided
to return to the policy of protection.
Such a course has been strenuously
advocated by all the agricultural So
cieties and newspapers for many
months though they did not expect
to see their ideas put into actual oper-
alton. The effect Of the small duties
proposed by Sir Michael Hicks Beach
will be important in the direction of
galvanizing British agriculture into
life.
It is argued, however, that the door
of protection which is now ajar will
be ultimately thrown wide open.
When that event takes place the
farmers say the movement which
threatenes to depopulate the rural
regions of Great Britain will cease.

No Grain Rebates.

London. April 16.-The chancellor
of the exchequer, Sir Michael Hicks
Beach, in answer to question, said
a rebate would not be allowed on for
ward grain contracts as was allowed
in the case of coal contracts last year.
The chancellor added that he could
not say on the spur of the moment
whether the term grain" included
peas, harricott beans, somolina, etc,
but he was inclined to think they
We're included in that term.

vanced the price of grain by shil-
ling per quarter.

CHINESE EXCLUSION BILL
PLATT SUBSTITUTE PASSED BY
THE SENATE.
Practically Reenacts Present Law
With Amendments to Cover
lnsuIar Possessions.

Washington, April 16-The drastic
ed by the senators and representatives
from the Pacific coast states met de-
feat in the senate today and in it's
place was substituted a measure Of
fered by Mr.. Platt of Connecticut, ex-
tending the provisions of the present
exclusion TO all insular territory un-
der the jurisdiction of the United
States.
The vote by which the substitute
took the place of the original was yeas
4S, nays 33. Once the substitution
had been made all the senators Joined
in it's support, with the single excep-
ton of Mr.. Hoar, the substitute being
passed rs to L.
The friends of the substitute show
ed their strength throughout the vot-
ing that preceded final action and sue
ceeded in preventing any material
change in its features.
Some minor changes were made ad-
mitting Chinese persons connected
with national expositions and provid-
ing for certificates of Identification
of Chinese in our insular possessions.
Otherwise the substitute was adopt
ed substantially in the form that Mr..
Platt presented it.
The senate, after disposing of the
Chinese exclusion bill, made the Phil
ippine government bill the unfinish-
ed business.
The senate failed to substitute the
enacting clause of the house bill for
the senate measure, SO that the bill
now will go to the house as an origi-
nal measure and from parliamentary
standpoint will have to be acted upon
and treated the same as if the house
had not passed an exclusion bill al
! ready.

TERRIBLE ENCOUNTER IN klTcH.
EN- OF UNION LEAGUE CLUB.
BUTCHER AND CHEF FIGHT
Other Employees Look on Afraid to
Interfere in the Savage
Contest.

Chicago, April 16.-A savage duel
with 18-inch butcher knives, which
will probably be followed by two
deaths, took place in the kitchen Of
the Union League club at Z o'clock
last night. The participants, a chef
and butcher, were expert swords
men, each having served in Euro
pean armies, and they battled accord
ing to the code with the determina-
tion that it should be to the death.
The principals were Emil Cotton,
butcher, and Joules Kuntz, chef They
assumed fencing attitudes and then
cut and slashed furiously until both
fell unconscious from loss of blood.
Colton's left hand was almost cut of
at the wrist and Kuntz received four
wounds which severed eight arteries.
his skull also being fractured.
H. Ritchie, who succeeded Robert
7. Clark as manager of the club, has
made numerous changes in the force,
and this was the cause of the combat.
Cotton it is said, accused Kuntz with
being responsible for his discharge
and received blow in the face. Col
ton then seized knife and a terrible
battle followed, in which blood was
spattered over the walls, floors and
ceiling. For the next 10 minutes their
improvised swords clashed At inter-
walls there were cries of pain as the
sharp blades cut into the flesh.
Cotton had the best Of the contest
from the beginning. He took the ag-
gressive at the start, and before his
opponent could sieze a weapon had
cut him twice on the head. One Of
the blows fractured Kuntzs skull.
With the blood streaming from his
face Kuntz savagely defended him
self. He dashed aside the knife of
the butcher and struck the latter on
the wrist. The blow cut an artery
and the attack of Cotton after this
was weakened. .
Other employees stood by and watch
ed the struggle, not daring to inter-
fere. Finally the two men fell to the
floor weak with the loss of blood, but
still trying to strike each other. It
was not long. however, before both
We're unconscious.

SERIOUS HITCH.
Boer Leaders in South Africa Demand
an Armistice.

London. April 16-Tha Daily Mail,
in it's issue this morning. says it un-
derstands serious hitch has occurred
in the peace negotiations in South
Africa The cabinet has decided to
refuse strongly worded request from
the Roer leaders at Pretoria for an
armistice pending the negotiations.
This alone is not likely to cause the
Eoers to withdraw from the confer.
ence. says the Daily Mail, but what
threatens to stop the negotiations is
the fact that the government de-
clines to place the Cape rebels on the
same footing as the blrshers with re-
spect to amnesty and is not inclined
to withdraw the banishment procla-
nation.
The other demands, continues the
Daily Mail, are that Great Britain
shall rebuild and restock the farms.
take over the legal claims and liabil-
tiles of the two republics and grant
a representative government within
a shorter period than is now contem-
plated.

who arrived at Canton yesterday re.
ported that over two thousand imper-
ialist soldiers, sent by Marshal Su
against the rebels, were ambushed in
a narrow defile and all we're killed
or captured. The situation in the re-
bellious districts of southern China
is increasingly alarming. The vice
roy of Canton has telegraphed to
Pekin, urging the immediate forward
ing of reinforcements. Lack Of news
from General Ma and Marshal Su is
taken to indicate that the rebels have
surrounded the imperial troops and
cut off communication with them.

cHuRcHMAN APPOINTED.
Archbishop Ryan Becomes Figure Of
Interest in the West.


Washington, April 1.-THE board
of Indian commissioners, to which the
president has appointed Archbishop
Ryan, has a misleading title. as the
head of the Office of Indian affairs in
the interior department is also styled
commissioner, though his duties are
quite apart from those of the board
of Indian commissioners. The latter
is nonsalaried body chosen from
men eminent for intelligence and
philanthropic," whose general duty
it is to see that the Indian wards of
the nation are treated justly and hu
namely by the agents of the govern
ment.
Since the creation Of the board in
1869, and no doubt because of it,
scandals in connection with the ad-
ministration Of Indian affairs have de-
clined in frequency and -flagrancy.
Archbishop Ryan fills in aboundant
measure the qualifications for the of.
fee as laid down in the statute Great.

LEASING BILL DENOUNCED.
Commissioners Herman Of General
Land Office Heard.

N0u0 OUiVC I1SdTQs
Washington, April 16-The COM
missioner Of the general land office
appeared before the public lands COM
mittee of the house today and gave
the leasing bill, which was introduc-
ed at the suggestion of the National
Cattlegrowers' association, and which
has been supported by strong lobby
here a Knockout blow.
He said ii the bill was enacted into
a law it would make subject to lease
all vacant public lands, an area en-
bracing 525,o0o,0o0 acres.
I The bill provides that the leases
are to run for term of 10 years with
the annual rental of two cents per
acre.
The commissioner pronounced it a
pernicious bill and denounced it in the
most unmeasured terms.
He said that two cents an acre for
much of the interior vacant lands
would be an inadequate price, but
ing lands is likewise offered at this
insignificant price, the bill becomes
subject to the imputation of being a
vast scheme in the interests of a few,
by which valuable property of the pub
lie in taken for private use without
just compensation. Some might des-
ipn9fo II q largo croft
The commissioner talked for an
hour and his condemnation of the
measure was very severe.
He did not commend a single sec
tion of the bill
The secretary of the interior has
concurred in the recommendations of
the commissioner.

HANNA STANDS BY FRIEND
OHIO SENATOR BELIEVES RATH-
BONE is INNOCENT.
Secures Release Of Prisoner on Bond
When Cuban Court Demand
ed Cash Deposit.

| Chicago, April 15.-Walter Well.
man says in his Washington cor.
| respondence to the Record Herald this
| morning: Senator Hanna today won
the first round in his fight for his
friend Rathbone. Within a day or
two Major Rathbone will be released
from prison in Havana. This after
noon telegram was sent to Governor
Wood from the war department by in
struction of President Roosevelt, or
dering the acceptance of a bond for
bail for Rathbones appearance.
Several days ago Senator Hanna
arranged with the Fidelity Bonding
company of Baltimore to guarantee
the 100000 bail which the court had
demanded. The court refused to ac-
cept the Fidelity as security and ask
ed that cash deposit of 100000 be
made before Rathbone was released
from prison. When this report was
made to him Senator Hanna replied,
with a good deal of emphasis, that
he would not put up 100000 to be
placed in the control of the Cuban
courts, for if he did he should want
some good guarantee, better than any
one is able to furnish at the present
time, that in case he produced his
man when wanted the money in turn
should be forthcoming.
This insolent demand for the cash
nettled the senator from Ohio, and he
started out to see if civilized method
of doing business could not be applied
to Cuba, at least as long as the is
land is under American control. The
result was the order which Secretary
Root today sent General Wood. The
bond of the Fidelity company will be
accepted and Major Rathbone will
walk out of Jail. Senator Hanna's
earnest stand for his friend has at
tracted attention throughout the coun-
try. Hundreds of letters and tele-
grams are pouring in upon him, COM
mending his course. Many of the
writer's say they don't know whether
Rathbone is innocent or guilty, but
they like man who sticks up for his
friends in an hour of trouble.
Mr.. Hanna is more than ever con-
vinced of Rathbone's innocence. He
has personally interviewed Americans
who attended the trial every day and
who declare there was not a scintilla
of real evidence that Rathbone was
guilty Of stealing or embezzling, and
that the case brought against him
would not have secured the conviction
of tramp in an American court.
Three American newspaper men who
watched the trial say Rathbone was
convicted unjustly, and that he could
not have been convicted at all had it
not been for the influence which Gov
ernor Wood exercised upon the court.
The five judges who tried the case
there before no jury were all ap-
pointees Of Wood. After his bail has
been accepted Rathbone will wait till
President Palma takes Office and then
demand new trial.
