STILL NEGOTIATING
United States Objects to the Russo
 Chinese Secret Agreement.

Washington, February 10.-Negotiations between the nited States government and the government of Russia relative to Manchuria are progressing. although the objectionable proviso placing the Russo Chinese bank in practical control of the commercial and material interests of Manchuria was withdrawn from the first treaty It has been discovered that the Russian government has drawn up se- cret agreement with China, comforting upon the Russo Chinese bank all the powers contained in the original treaty proviso Therefore the United States government has renewed it's objections both to the Russian government and the government of China.
 It was quickly perceived today that the provision. If executed, would practically exclude Americans from competition in Manchuria, which is very valuable as a market for our manufactured cottons.

GERMANY LAUGHS
 AT BRITISH TALK
Says to Attempt to Deny Her Position Towards the United States Before
 the Spanish War Is Absurd.

Berlin, February 1o.-The official North German Gazette this evening joins In the controversy regarding the attitude of the several powers previous to the outbreak of the Spanish American war. It says Lord Pauncefotes speech of April 14. 1898. to send a collective note to the gov ernment of the United States declaring American intervention in Cuba to be un- justifiable is historical fact and the Ga zette proceeds to characterize as absurd the attempt now being made to obscure and dispute an event which did not only occur in the presence Of the representa- tives of the powers but on which the rep resentatives of all the powers at Wash ington after reaching an agreement re- ported to their respective governments April IA, 1S9S simultaneously and identi- cally."
 The German official declaration in the North German Gazette is a direct con sequence of the incredulity expressed by American and English newspapers re- garding the disclosures from here of the action of Lord Pauncefote of April IA, 1S9S
 The correspondent of the Associated Press learns that a transcript of the dispatch from Dr. Won Holleben, the Ger man ambassador at Washington com municating the proposal of Lord Paunce- fote. was sent to Emperor William im- mediately after its receipt and that the Emperor annotated his flat refusal on the margin of the message The informant of the correspondent added
 But for the action of Emperor Will liam. Lord Pauncefote's proposal would have been accepted by the other powers"

THOMPSON OPPOSE
 WILEY'S SCHOOL BILL
Thinks Public Land Money Ought to Go to Common Schools to Be Dis
 trlbuted by the Legislature.

Washington, February 10.-(Special)- Representative Thompson is opposed to the bill granting the proceeds of the sale of 50 00O acres of Alabama public lands to the Troy and Montgomery schools as pro- posed by Representative Wiley.
 Mr Thompson said today his proposi- tion was to give the public lands of the State to the common schools to be dis tributed by the Legislature.
 Owing to the fact that there are several different methods of dealing with the public lands it is not expected that any legislation affecting them will be passed at this session. If the delegation were a unit on the subject it would be difficult to pass bill owing to the opposition of Chairman Lacey of the committee before which the bills are pending.

 Reservstion-Plenty of Land.

Washington, February 10.-(Special)- To delegation calling upon him this morning, the Secretary of War announced that the Army Camp Site Board had re- commeded that Chattanooga, Tenn. be selected as one of the four great camps of instruction for the use of regular and state troops. It is expected the report of the board in favor of Chattanooga will receive the Congressional sanction which under the terms of the bill is necessary The report of the board will probably be made public by the secretary within a few days.
 One strong factor leading to the selec- tion of Chattanooga Is that it Is already a government reservation, and in the opinion of the board the purchase of ad- ditional space from private parties will not be required.

Pierre, S."D:-The different state insti-
buttons are, with one, exception, either
located along the eastern border of the
state or in the Black Hills. The exception
is the state capital. A few years ago a
normal school was granted to Aberdeen
in addition to those already established
in the state, on the argument that this

to sustain the claim, and it OVERRIDE the
contention that the state had already
more schools than it, could afford tc
keep up. - -, ~. -
The state capitol is the only public
recognition of that portion Of the state
west Of a line drawn from Springfield
north to Aberdeen, except in the Black
Hills. The argument which established
a school at Aberdeen is just as good for
retaining the capital at Pierre, and those
who back ed the contention four years ago
cannot favor a change in capital location
without changing front.
When returns first begun to come in
from the Stanley Lyman county district,
the indications were for the election of

turns in Warren Young, democrat, is
shown to be elected by majority of
eleven votes. Mr.. Young is resident OF
Stanley county, as is Mr.. Carlin, the
senator-elect - AS a matter of fact, ever
since the organization Of this district in
1897 the only representative Lyman coun-
ty has ever had in the leglature was John
Q. Anderson, at the session two years ago.
