REVOLUTION IN
 KAN SU SERIOUS
AN OUTBREAK IS THREATENED IN THE NORTHWEST AND YONG Lu SAID TO BE BEHIND THE MOVEMENT.

Victoria, B. C., January 25.-The steam CT Athenian and Fremont arrived today from Yokohama. They bring further news of the revolution in Kan su. One correspondent telegraphs to the Shanghai papers from Lashokow to the effect that unless Tung Fun Slang Is suppressed the powers will soon find themselves face to face with bigger revolt than that of two years ago. Missionaries are already beginning to leave the threatened district.
 Messrs. Rydbig and Soderstray. mission aries, who have reached Shanghai from Singan state that Tung Fun Slang is gaining ground and intends to lead his army to Singan, which he will endeavor to make his capital and place Pu Chun, who has been proclaimed emperor, on the throne.
 Tung is himself enlisting troops and everything else points to the fact that he has government support Kan Su and Shen Si are overrun by Tung's spies All pro-foreign officials are being removed from Singan.
 Pekin correspondents also tell of the threatened outbreak in the northwest and credit Yong Lu, the real ruler of China, with being behind the movement
 The Canton correspondent of Hong Kong papers states that the rebellion in Kwang Si is more serious than ever known.

CHAMBERLAIN SPEAKS.
Colonial Secretary Is Taking an Inter
 esting Wagon Trip.

London, January 25.-Colonial Secretary Chamberlain started Saturday on an in- teresting wagon trip from Potchestrom to Mafeking accompanied by Mrs. Chamber lain, Dr. Arthur Lawley Major General Baden Powell and others. Relays of mules has been arranged to enable the party to travel at about ten miles an hour. There was a picturesque scene out of Venters- dorp, thirty-one miles northwest of Pors- ohestrom. A commando of Boers met the party and escorted 1t into the town. A Chamberlain. The colonial secretary was conducted to the house of the landrost and the commando of Boers drew up in half-circle outside. Soon after General Delarey arrived and was cordially re- oeiVed by MT. Chamberlain, who intro duoed him to Mrs. Chamberlain.
 After the presentation and an address of welcome Mir. Chamberlain made a speech to the commando in which he congratu- lated the Boers on being the comrades of so great and gallant a man as General Delarey. The colonial secretary con- tnued:
 T hope he is my friend and I hope you all are my friends. We fought a good battle and there is nothing to be ashamed of on either side"
 On the conclusion of Mir. Chamber lains speech General Delarey unexpect- edly stepped forward and addressed the Boers in Dutch, declaring his belief that the colonial secretary was the man to set things right in South Africa"
 These speeches made an excellent im- pression. On proceeding on their journey General Delarey accompanied the party.

SATISFACTION TO
 ENGLISH PRESS
COMMENTS MADE ON THE SIGMA TURES OF THE ANGLO-AMERl. CAN TREATY TO SETTLE ALAS KAN DISPUTE.

London, January 26.-The signatures of the Anglo-American treaty to settle the Alaskan dispute at Washington Satur- day has given great satisfaction to the English press on the ground it gives at critical moment in the Venezuelan trou- ble an undoubted proof of the uninter- rupted friendliness existing between Great Britain and the United States This is the point which is elaborated in all the editorials on the subject. almost to the exclusion of the discussion of the in- trinsic merits of the arrangement con- cluded.
 Little doubt is entertained here that the United States senate will accept the treaty, but regret is expressed that no provision is made for the appointment of an umpire, because in the event of the commission being equally divided in opinion, it is said the controversy will be very little nearer a settlement. One paper thinks that in this event the dis pute would be referred to The Hague tribunal It is hoped, however. that the publication of the text of the treaty may show a more favorable prospect of the commission arriving at compromise, thus settling a g-standing dispute of which a settlement is imperative if inter- national friction is to be avoided.
 The Times rejoices at the constitution of the proposed commission, which, it says, implies a high degree of confidence on each side in the equity and friendship of the other side. The same commission with an odd man added. becomes virtual ly an arbitration court. Though arbi- tration is a very good thing in its way. continues the Times, it 1t not nearly so good as direct negotiation, If only be- cause it does not imply so much mutual confidence and good will. Should 1t un- fortunately happen that the commission be unable to arrive at a decision, no harm will have been done to either party. We shall only obtain a striking evidence of the exceeding complexity of the dues- ton, and then can resort to arbitration, but we believe fully that the commission will arrive at a settlement in the only manner which leaves no sense or sore ness nor disappointment on either side.

DELEGATES OF UNITED
 IRISH LEAGUE CONFER.

New York, January 25.-A conference of representatives of Irish societies was held here tonight to consider the question of taking concerted action in behalf of Col onel Lynch, recently sentenced to death in England for treason. About fifty dele- gates were present when President R. J. Kennedy of the United Irish league call ed the meeting to order.
 Thomas II. Romayne, addressing the meeting said:
 q advocate a policy of silence, so far as the American Irish in this country are concerned and I think 1t best to await instructions from Ireland, and especial ly from Australia, where Colonel Lynch was born. l understand a telegram was received in this city today from an Aus tralian gentleman, saying steps had been taken there to invoke the clemency of the King in Colonel Lynch's behalf"
 MT. Romayne moved the appointment of committee of nine to act on the bring ing together of the representatives of the societies in uniform action and to act as general committee for the Irishmen of the city in behalf of Colonel Lynch.
 The committee was immediately organ ized and it was decided to call a general conference this week.

COMMITTEE WILL
 MEET TONIGHT
PLANS FOR PRIMARY TO BE SUB-
 MlTTED AND ADOPTED-HEAD- QUARTERS TO BE OPENED TO-
 MoRRoW-PoLL TAX.

The subcommittee of the city demo- cratic executive committee will meet this morning to draw up plans to govern the municipal primary to be held in Birming ham on the second of March. This com mittee will make a report tonight to the meeting of the executive committee which will be held at the city hall at o'clock
 The committee will arrange the details to govern the primary, fix the fee for candidates. arrange for the printing of the ballots, appoint managers, etc.
 Tomorrow headquarters will be opened at some convenient location by the execu- tive committee. They will be in charge of the chairman, John F. Antwine. and Secretary Harry White. The different candidates will be asked to go to the headquarters and pay their entrance fee.
 The municipal camI ign has now opened up in earnest and tine candidates are Ge- voting much time each day to seeing their friends. In this connection they are urging upon them the necessity os going to the courthouse and paying their poll tax.
 Up to the present time about 11c0 per sons have paid this tax, which must be settled by the first of next month for d voter to be allowed to cast his vote at the polls in any election during 1903. It is estimated that about 10oo Leople in Bir- n1ingham who received life registration certificates are ever 20 years of age, and hence not liable to pay the poll tax. About 5c0C registration certificates were given to Birmir ghan voters This would bring the number now eligible to vote up to about 2lc0. Last year about 5000 persons paid their poll tax. It is expected that betv | ow and the first of the month there will be rush to the office of the tax eolls ctor fy those who have so far failed to pay 1t.

OFFICER SHOOTS NEGRO.
City Marshal Had Warrant for Ma
 sons Arrest and He Resisted.

Courtland, January 25,-(Special)- )-city Marshal Thomas Crow yesterday after noon shot and dangerously wounded a negro man named Mason. In addition to the city marshalship, MT. Crow also holds commission as deputy sheriff and in the discharge of that duty a warrant came into his hands for the arrest of the negro Mason. He found his man in town yesterday afternoon and told him his business. Before he could begin read ing the warrant the negro pulled his pistol, and leveling it at the officer, began backing toward where his mule was hitched. The marshal followed him across the square, commanding him to surrender, but the negro refused and kept his gun levelled all the while at the breast of the officer.
 In an unguarded moment he lowered the weapon and quicker than lightning Crow had pulled his revolver and fired, strik- ing his man in the fleshy part of the leg. The fight was then all over, the negro begging Crow not to kill him. The negro is very troublesome having been mixed up in all kinds of unlawful acts for the past five years and Is now under indict- ment for assault with a weapon.

GAMING DEVICES
 SEIZED BY AUSTIN
Raid on the SouthSide Reading
 Club Over the Peerless
LoCKSMlTH OPENS SAFE
Chief of Police Gives an Account of Labyrinthian Approach to Third Floor of Peerless Building.
 Several Arrests Made.

Saturday afternoon Chief of Police Austin raided the southside Reading club an alleged gambling place, on the third floor over the Peerless saloon, at the corner of Ninteenth street and Sec ond avenue, had large safe forced open, secured a roulette wheel and other gam Ing devices and arrested five or six men. This was the third time that Chief Aus tin had raided the apartments over the Peerless within the past few months, but this was the first time that he had gone around with a seach warrant
 The chief was accompanied by officers Jordan, Culpepper and Eagan.
 Formerly the third floor of the Peerless building could be reached by stairs lead ing from the Ninteenth street side, but the door to that stairway is obstructed by an oyster stand and the only stairs used now start in the rear of the saloon.
 Chief Austin went with his men to the Peerless and started up toh the third floor about o'clock He says the way up was eircuitious not to say labarynthine. On the second floor the raiding party found themselves in a store room. The officers pushed on and descended four or five steps, turned to the right and went up AO d ldiiuiiib llftll way RChNCtA Nh1 oVSpiiNA and third floors. There they came to a door of double thickness, with a little wicket or peep hole in it. A gentle pres sure on the electric bell button summond- ed the porter. The raiders were ad- mitted inside the big door. but few feet ahead was another door, this one of thin wood, plate glass and bronze grat- ing. They waited between these doors for few minutes and then 1t was opened, But while they were waiting the chief heard the noise of hurrying feet above. The glass door was opened and the off, cers were invited to advance up flight of stairs which brought them to the third floor, but there the heaviest door of all was encountered. It was the same door that Chief Austin had seen before-two thicknesses of wood, and one thickness of iron. It's many bolts were moved and on the door being opened the officers entered.
 The chief ~etsined the men whom he found in the club, but not seeing any of the gambling property that he was look ipg for, SC mt for Walter Burson, the lock- smith, to come and cpen the huge safe which stood in the room The chief says that the safe, like the thick doors, was a fa nilar sight.
 MT. Burson arrived promptly and went to work to drill into the steel. He made two holes and then mashed the lock in. The job was a tedious one and 1t was l early o'clock when he pulled open the steat doors of the safe.
 Chief Austin found one roulette wheel, two large racks of chips several boxes of cards, one tin take out box and a roulette table cover. This property he carried off to police headauarters and will produce the vario us gaming articles as evidence in court.

Trial and Sentence of Colonel
 Lynch is Denounced
A TRAVESTY ON JUSTICE.
Irish American Society Delegates Adopt ResoIutions-lrish to Have General Conference This Week.
 A Committee of Nine.

New York January 25-At a large meeting of delegates of the United Irish American societies of New York, presided over by Daniel F. Goldman, tonight reso- lutions were adopted denouncing the trial and death sentence of Colonel Arthur Lynch as a travesty on justice. The resolution says in part:
 we desire to express our belief that the British government will not dare to carry cut the sentence imposed upon Colonel Lynch and also to point out that the action of an English court in finding a man who had become in due form a naturalized citizen of another country guilty of treason in England Is unjust unfair and a gross violation of all the conditions under which millions of citi- zens had been added to the population of this country. We denounce Englands action as cowardly, brutal and tyranni- cal, and predict it will only serve to call the attention of the world to the fact that as you cannot change the spots of the leopard, so you cannot make the Eng fish government anything but stupid. hloodthirsty, eowardly and cruel"
