THE NIUCHwANG PROTEST.
United States Gunboat Helena Locked
in the Harbor.

The Navy Department has yet heard
nothing official of the reported protest of
Capt. Sawyer of the United States gunboat
Helena, now in the mud dock at Nui-
chwang against the Russian proposition to
sink junks in the harbor entrance to pre-
vent japanese warships from entering and
bombarding the town.
1t Is said that the question of the right
to enter such protests is a very delicate
one, and it's decision might have the most
important effect upon one the other of
the combatants. II was reported some
time ago that Russia desired to have Nui-
chwang declared a neutral port, but favor
able indications were not given by the pow
ers to that proposition. Had 1t been ac-
cepted Japan would have been prevented
from attacking the town, which. with its
railroad, would be left in Russian posses
sion without obligation on the part of Rus
sia to protect it.
Now If the foreign naval vessels in Nui-
chwang harbor enter protest against the
Russians closing the harbor, it could be
based only upon the theory that Nui-
chwang is a neutral port, and 1t is desir-
able to avoid decision of that question
at this moment.
The chances are that if the Helena can
rot make her escape from Nuchwarg be-
fore the harbor is closed without entering
a protest she will be left to abide the issue
of war at that point. There was no war
news from any official source received by
the government here over night.

Kaiser Departs on Holiday Trip.

BERLIN. March 11.-Emperor Williams s
departure tonight for six or seven weeks
holiday with intervals of day or two to
be spent in visiting other monarchs is gen.
orally taken to mean that the European
situation gives him no concern. 1t is true.
he never will be more than three days
journey from the German capital, and that
when calling at Athens. At scarcely any
point in the western Mediterranean will the
emperor be further than two days journey
from Berlin. Nevertheless, even such an
influential paper as the Rhenish Westpha-
Ian Gazette regards 1t as injudicious for
the monarch to leave the country at this
period.
Although the emperor decided on the trip
before he had fully recovered from his re-
cent illness, he makes 1t now not because
OF his health, but for rest.
Among the emperor's travelling compan-
ions will be Gen. Won Plessen, Admiral
Baron Won -Bibran. Admiral Won
Holman. Herr Stoewer, the marine painter;
DR.. nberg and about twenty other members
of the court.
The emperor will call at Dover primarily

FERRY STEAMER BURNED.
Fireman Loses His Life-Engineer
Probably Fatally Injured.

CONNEAUT, Ohio. March 1.-THE large
car ferry steamer Jhenango No. 1. owned
by the Marquette and Bessemer Dock and
Navigation Company, was entirely de-
stroyed by fire off this port today. result
ing in the death Of Fireman Charles Nc
Carter of Cheboygan, Mich, and the prob
ably fatal injury OF Engineer John Nor
rell.
The boat was one OF the largest OF her
kind on the great lakes, valued at $780,
0c0. and had a carrying capacity Of
twenty six cars.
The fire is supposed to have resulted
from an explosion of OIL IN the engine
room.
Engineer Morrell was the only member
of the crew awake when the flames broke
out Finding that the fire was beyond con-
troll he hastily aroused the others
board and all escaped except the fireman,
McCarter Upon discovering that McCar-
ter was still in the hold Of the vessel
Morrell returned TO awaken him. He was
caught by the flames and before he could
be rescued was SO badly burned that he
will probably die. McCarter's body was
consumed by the flames.

RETURNS FROM AFRICA.
Bishop Hartzell Reports Great I'm
provement in Liberian Work.

NEW YORK, March Among the pas
sengers who arrived today on the steamer
Celtic from Liverpool and Queenstown were
twenty-eight japanese army and navy Off
GERS, returning home from European coun-
tries, and the Right Rev. Joseph c. Hart
zell, missionary bishop of the Methodist
Episcopal Church in Africa.
Bishop Hartzen made a thorough inspec-
tion Of his mission territory. The work in
Liberia, he said, showed great improve
ment. "The great question In South Africa
is the labor question" said the bishop,
touching the economic conditions in that
country. Il do not believe in the introduce
ton or Chinese labor as permanent thing,
but favor 1t temporary expedient The
demand for labor Is so great that 250000 la
borers could be used at once, and the lack
Of them has caused great commercial de-
preston.
There has been disappointment In South
Africa on account of the expected CONNER
cial development and political pacification
The persistence of many of the Dutch lead
ers to hamper legislation and the English
policy is having its effect. The recent VIC
tory of the progressives under DIR. Jameson
is very significant, and it is to be hoped the
Dutch party, which includes many able
leaders, will accept the defeat gracefully
and cooperate in the advanced policy.
Now there will probably be redistribu-
ton bill passed, and this is the key of the
whole situation. The representation now is
by districts, and not By population. In the
larger cities there is a liberal spirit and a
population greater than many districts. but
in spite of this they have representation
by area, and so only the same voice as some
thinly populated district.
The fight down there said the bishop,
in conclusion. ''is only the old fight of the
Dutch against the English" -

Pacific Coast Storm Moderated.

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, March 1.-THE
hurricane that since Wednesday night had
been raging along the Pacific coast, from
San Diego, Cal, to British Columbia, has
gradually moderated today. according to
meager reports which it has been possible
to gather from an almost totally pros
trated telegraph system.
San Francisco was cut off from tele-
graphic communication for a time today.
Along the Oregon and Washington coasts
the wind has greatly moderated.
While shipping in many instances is still
tied up in the harbors, no reports of ma
rine disasters have been received. The
storm has whipped over the seacoast and is
now sweeping over Nevada and Utah in a
mixture of snow, rain and wind of blizzard
like violence.
