Toxic, Dec. 23.-It is asserted in Off

ply to Russia rejects the fundamental
points at issue, which are understood
to include mutual guarantees for the
preservation of Chinese and Korean
sovereignty while securing their In
dividual interests. The situation Is
graver thanJsince the commencement
Of the negotiations, but Is still sus-
ceptible to a pacific solution il Russia
will quickly reconsider her reply.
The fact that Foreign Minister Ko-
mura called on Baron de Rosen, the
Russian minister, instead of Baron
Rosen calling on Komura, Is explain
ed by the fact that the baron is suf-
fering from an ear affection. But the
explanation has obvious diplomatic
significance and is interpreted that
Japan is determined not to afford Rus

AWAKEN TO cHlNA's PERIL.
Peking Officials Greatly Disturbed
Over Probable War.

Picking, Dec. 23.-The Chinese Off
cials are awakening to the peril con-
fronting China in the event of a Rus
so-Japanese war and they are greatly
distressed. WI Ting Fang has been
urging the United States legation, on
his own responsibility, to seek a spe-
cial audience of the dowager empress
and impress on her China's perilous
position and the need of a strong
army and ministers acquainted with
foreign affairs.
China will attempt to remain neu-
tral, though doubtless she will be sub
jected to strong Japanese pressure to
participate in a. conflict for the preser-
walton of her integrity. The officials
here recognize that the remnant of
China's sovereignty in Manchuria is
lost if Russia succeeds and see the diff
f1culty of China avoiding becoming
entangled in a wal on her own terri
tory.

ALONG THE ATLANTIC COAST.
Everything Reported Quiet by Ameri
can Vessels.

Colon, Dec. 23.-Everything is quiet
along the Atlantic coast. The United
States converted cruiser Mayf1ower
came in Tuesday from the gulf of
Darien, to which place she went after
stopping at the Island of Pines, thirty
miles northwest of Cape Tiburon,
which is in Panama territory
The Mayfower was sent out hurried
1y or receipt of the news brought by
a native coasting schooner that Co.
1ombian troops had been landed on
the island. Arriving at the island,
which is inhabited by San Bias In
dams, the Mayfower made a thorough
be untrue. Landings were made at
two Indian villages on the mainland
e the Island of Pines, which is
about three miles off the coast. The
Indians were questioned by interpret
ers, who said that they had not seen
any signs of Colombian troops.
The Maylower then continued to
cruise along the coast toward the gulf
of Darien examining the coast, and in
the afternoon reached Titumati, where
the cruiser Atlanta saw the Colombian
troops a week ago. The Mayf1ower
clearly saw a number of Colombian
soldiers on the beach, but did not at
tempt to communicate with them.
While steaming out of the gulf the
Mayfiower sighted and passed close to
the Colombian cruiser General PinZon,
which was steaming toward Titumati.
1t was seen that the General Pinzon
had about $50 Colombian soldiers
aboard. No communications were ex-
changed between the Mayf1ower and
the General Pinzon.
The gunboats Bancroft and Nashville
report that all is quiet along the ter
ritory controlled by them.

MURDER IN THE FIRST DEGREE.
Jury Brings in a Verdict That Sends
F. II. Burmese to Electric Chair.

New York, Dec. 23.-With a verdict
that sends Frank H. Burmese, a self
confessed murderer, to the electric
chair, a jury before Judge Crane Tues
day afternoon ended one of the most
sensational murder trials heard in
Brooklyn for months. Burmese fourth
murder was committed on Nov. 10
last. when he shot Captain George B..
Townsend of the schooner Charles K.
Buckley, because the latter would not
pay him $3.50, the prisoner alleged to
be due him. This and other killings
were calmly described by Burmese on
the witness stand, and the murderer
Insisted that he did the deed with pre-
meditation and in a full realization Of
the consequences.
The jury brought in a verdict in the
first degree.
Burmese, who is about f~orty-four
years of age, was born in Butler, Pa.
When asked what he thought would
be the result of his act, he coolly said
that the only way out of it that he
could see was the electric chair.

Second Witness Testifies to Suspects
Admitting His Guilt.

N0tu's1ii9 tbs 1OIIIs
Helena, Mont, Dec. 23.-In the Graz
velle case Tuesday a second witness
testified to Gravelle having told him
he was the mar who was doing the dy-
namiting on the Northern Pacific.
This witness was Thomas Shanks,
father Of Myron Shanks, the son tes-
tifying Monday to the same effect. Ac-
fcording to the elder Shanks, Gravelle
often called at his house after he had
been released from the penitentiary
In July. On the night of Oct. "a, four
days before Gravelle was arrested, the
witness said Gravelle told him he was
going to put dynamite that night on
the Northern Pacific track neal Birds
Eye. Powder was found at that point
the next morning. The witness said
that Grayelle told him there was no
n else in the dynamite plot. He
also told him he had notified the
Great Northern to run a signal within
twelve days.
