REBELLION FEARED.

A dispatch received at Berlin from Port
Arthur says that from the different prov
inces of China come reports of rising
which threatens to involve the whole
country. The semi-oflicial Novkkral says
"The moment has come when, in view of
the antagonism of German and British
interests, an Anglo Russian understand
ing is desirable, as counterpoise to the
movement in Germany and America,
which is crossing the interests of Russ a
and Great Britain, and to the activity OF
Japan, which wishes to make the Straits
of Korea a yellow Bospborus. At pres
ent Russian and British interests now
here clash. An Anglo-Russian alliance
is possible, and it is also necessary in or
der to protect Europe against the yellow
danger The Novkkral proceeds to
strongly attack the Russian papers, which
urge Russia to wind up her affairs in
Manchuria and which describe her policy
in the Far East as a costly blunder.
A dispatch to the Cologne Gazette
from ST. Petersburg, dated yesterday,
saws: "The situation in the Far East is
becoming more acute. Even in Man
churia the Chinese are assuming an inso-
lent attitude toward the Russians, parti-
cularly toward tie troops. At one place
stones we're thrown at the commander OF
the troops. While all Russians are the
objects of insult, spirit of opposition to
the Chinese Government is also manifest

FINLEY DENIES RUMoE.

Some malicious person. am informed. has started the report that my entrance fee of s25 assessed by the Central Council, was paid by one of the candidates for Mayor to keep me in the race for his benefit. 1 denounce tbis report as a wiliful and deliberate falsehood.
 l entered the contest of my own notion. on my own merits, with my own money. and have made no agreement or combina- ton with any candidate and do not pro- pose to do so.
 Efforts have been made by other can- didates and their friends to influence me to withdraw because they were im- pressed with the idea that would draw votes from them, but l have always de- clined to do so.
 The people of Montgomery should be loath to lend their ears to the unfounded falsehoods of the partlsans of rival can. didates.
 I have refralned from circulating ru. mors unfavorable to any candidate. shall simply submit myself to the thoughtful consideration of the voters of Montgomery, amongst whom l have lived all my life, with the hope that l may meet their approbation.
 Respectfully,
