BOLD PIRATES.
RUN To EARTH
Ninety Of Them Suffer
Death at Hands Of
ExecutiOner.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

TACOMA, Wash, Jan. s.-The viceroy
of Canton, China, is taking severe meas
ures to stop piracy on the West River be-
tween Hongkong and Canton and along
the southeastern Chinese coast. The pi-
rates were getting so bold that they en-
dangered the commerce carried on by ma
tives. They sailed along the coast in
swift junks, overhauling and robbing the
slower and more heavily burdened mer-
chant junks. All who refused to land and
deliver were either knitted or thrown
overheard. On the West River passenger
junks were being stopped daily while the
pirates boarded them and relieved the
passengers of their valuabes.
The Canton Viceroy recently adopted a
plan of employing detectives to join the
pirate bands and give information as to
how they might be run to earth These
detectives were paid high salaries to pre-
vent their joining the pirates Their
work proved so successful that more than
ninety pirates were captured during No
vember and the early part of December
They were promptly executed at Canton,
being carried to their doom in sacks and
on the backs of stalwart Chinese Before
them walked the eXecutioner, who had
the sacks dumped on the ground wherever
he could find an open space The pirates
were made to kneel down with their
breasts forward and heads erect while the
eXecutioner clipped off their heads with
one blow of a rusty sword
The Chinese gunboat Kwong Yuen was
sent against the pirates after the attack
on junk in which Britisher was mur-
dered, and found pirate steam launch
towing two captured junks. The Kwong
Yuen sent her boats against the pirates,
who drove back the boats, killing three
men. The gunboat then opened fire with
her Gatling guns and two 3-pounders,
sinking both launch and junks. The pi-
rates tried to escape to shore by small
boats, but every one was sunk and the
pirates drowned. Three wounded pirates
were taken and instantly executed

NO DANGER OF STRIKE
ON SANTA FE RAILROAD
General Manager Says Rumor Was
Started in Wall

TOPEKA, Kans., Jan. S.-There is no
possibility of a strike bein inaugurated
by the Santa Fe conductors and train
men. General Manager Nudge of the
Santa Fe received a dispatch to-day to
the effect that rumor Of strike was
circulated in Wall street to-day. Mr..
Nudge said;
THE Santa Fe was unable to accede
to either of the requests made upon us,
and we so informed the representatives
of the trainmen and conductors. We had
a short conference, but there was abso-
lutely nothing to cause any break IN the
harmonious relations existing beteween
tho road and its employees. There is not
the least danger of a strike and nothing
to indicate one. 1 stated to a committee
that we found it impossible to meet their
request for raise in wages. We were
not able to comply with the demand for
the change regarding double-hcader
trains, inasmuch as the methods of run
ming trains are only in line with the de-
mands Of present business conditions"

ENGLAND ASKS
RETURN OF GOLD
Chamberlain Disregards
Plea Of Prominent
Burghers.

PRETORIA, Jan. S.-ColoniaI Secretary
Chamberlain, replying to the address of
the burghefs to-day, said there was no
prospect for a general amnesty. and that
the conditions already granted to the de-
feated Beers were decidedly generous.
He declared the Government proposed
abiding by the terms of the Vereenining
agreement, with which the Boer leaders
at the time of surrender had complied.
The cases of the bufghers now in Europe
would be considered individually on their
merits, said Mr.. Chamberlain, and these
burghers should prove their loyalty by
accounting for the gold taken to Europe.
The Secretary said also that the an
neXation of the Vreyheid and Utrecht dis
tricts in Natal was irrevocable and that
the natives would be compelled to observe
their obligations He declared he would
have been better pleased had the address
of the burghers, instead of consisting
merely of demands, contained recognition
of what his Majesty's Government had
already done for the Beers.
This address was called forth by the
declaration of a meeting of the most in
fiuential burghers for presentation to the
Colonial Secretary and Legislative Coun-
Gil. Among their recommendations are
general amnesty, the maintenance of the
TransvaaPs pre-war regulations regarding
natives, the importation of cattle by the
Government and their sale to the bnrgh-
ers at actual cost and the abolition of
the South African constabulary. Generals
Botha. Dewet and Delarey strongly urged
the necessity for a moderate attitude and
organization to assist the present govern
ment
General Botha reported that s525, 900 had
been collected in America and Europe for
the relief of the destitute Beers.

Efforts of the Premier to Bring

Proved Unavailing.

VICTORIA, B. c.. Jan. &-The political
crisis which has been prevailing in Japan
has resulted in a deadlock. on December
Il the lower house was suspended as a re-
suit Of an attack made by the opposition
led by the Sega Kai Marquis Ito's party,
and as no compromise had been effected
up 10 the time Of the sailing Of the En-
press of Japan on December %. dissolu-
tion was expected TO follow. The dead
lock which caused a suspension OF the
Japanese Diet arose over the Ministry :
attitude on the land act which provided
for increased land taxes. The opposition
had imagined that the Cabinet attached
chief Importance 10 the question Of naval
increment. and that the land tax would
not be made a crucial problem. On dis
covering that the Ministry was irrevocab-
ly determined TO stand by its land taxes
programme. the opposition decided TO at
tack il al once and a whip was sent

10 the feasibility Of a COMPROMISE. The
Marquis explained that he had no desire

would much prefer 10 see the present

prove OF their policy. But with regard
10 the question Of the land tax his opin-
ion was Uualterable
MINISTRY MUST SURRENDER.
Ito fully admitted the Importance Of

Mr.. Lincoln took night train and passed
through that city in the night This was
done on the advice Of friends based on dis
patches from Washington representing that
his presence there was desirable at the earli-
est possible moment, and that it might
serve to prevent disturbance at Baltimore.
But there is no reason to believe that there
was any plot there to kill or injure Mr.. Lin
coin. Sensational rumors of that kind had
prevailed for some time. and as early as
Jan. 16, in 1861. the marsha, of Baltimore
wrote letter stating that the rumors were
without any foundation whatever. There
was very turbulent element in Baltimore
at that time, and there might have been
some rowdyism if Mr.. Lincoln had passed
through the city in the daytime. but to say
that his life was in danger is putting it
much too strongly.

The strike situation in Colorado and Utah
Is reaching a point where the display of
military force becomes absolutely neces-
sary. Governor Peabody, of Colorado. Is
threatened with assassination, there are
threats to dynamite the Capitol building at
Denver. and the rioters are In arms.
Regardless of the merits of the case either
the duty Of the State to preserve order at
any cost. The Governor of Colorado fully
realizes this. and the State militia has
been called out. The United States govern
ment has honored the Governors requisi-
ton for 1000 Krag-Jorgensen rifles and
equipment for 1000 men. A peaceful settle
ment of the difficulty is hoped for, but
such an outcome is not expected. That
Governor Peabody has taken a determined
stand in the matter is proved by his state
ment to the newspapers. He says:
We will fight ii out in Colorado If it
and some who are disabled. to the end that
order is maintained and socialism and
anarchy are wiped on the earth, and there
is not a grease spot left to assassinate,
ner interfere with the commercial condi-
lions and the peace of il!ustrious Colorado.
Continued lawlessness on the part of the
striking miners will bring on terrible
tragedy. Personal restraint and mutual
forbearance may go far to avert such a
disaster. but the strikers have been wrought
up to an extreme pitch OF excitement by
professional agitators from other States. AS
matter OF fact. Utah was one Of the
pioneers in the eight-hour movement. The
miners are better paid and have shorter
hours in Utah and Colorado than in most
other States. The present strike seems to
have come as result of the work OF
walking delegates. At the center of the
trouble In Utah there are 1000 miners two
thirds OF whom are Italians and other for
eigners not speaking English. or the lat.
ter. not Is per cent. have been naturalized
II is on the ignorance and cupidity OF
these poor aliens that the agitators have
