SETTLING COLONIAL QUESTIONS
England and France Carry ON Discuss
slon In Friendly spirit.

Paris. March 1.-THE London corre-
sDondent OF the Figaro says that the
discussion of the friendly settlement of
colonial questions has practically been
carried on continuously both at Paris
and at London since President Loubet's s
visit to England. Great Britain's in
sistance in including Egypt at first
caused some difficulty, Foreign Minis
ter Delcasse remarking that other pow
ers We're also interested. He pointed
out, however, that French interests
greatly exceeded those of other coun-
| tries. whose consent to the arrange
ments could be easily obtained once
that of France had been given, French
creditors being fully protected. For
eign Minister Delcasse is said to have
insisted on the maintenance of the in
ternational debt commission, French in
stitutions and the mixed tribunals.
Great Britain is disposed to take dis
| interested attitude in regard to Morocco
in return for French concessions in
Egypt.
Regarding Newfoundland, France
would give up privileges in return for a
free right to fish, compensation to the
ship owners having establishments
there, and for territory facilitating
communication with French western
Africa.
The question regarding Siam is con-
1ned to a definition of the situation of
the two governments in the zones re-
spectively allotted to them. AS these
questions cannot be settled by acts of
the same nature, 1t is obvious that there
can be no general treaty, but 1t is cer-
tain that the two governments are ami
mated by a determination to reach a
friendly settlement of all differences
and to find the best means of settling
each one Of these differences.

AUSTRIA AIDING RUSSIA.
Enscnto on Subject Of Macedonia
Firmer Than Ever.

Paris. March 1.-THE Vienna corre-
spondent Of the Petit Parisien, says that
Count Goluchowski, the Austrian minis
ter of foreign affairs, has authorized the
publication of the following declarations
which he made officially to the French,
British and italian ambassadors:
.The Russian and Austrian entente on
the subject of Macedonia is firined than
ever. A perfect understanding exists on
the subject of the modus vivendi In Ma
cedonia and of Turkeys application of
the reforms proposed by the two pow
ers and accepted by the sultan. Russia
and Austria are determined to use all
influence and even to resort to extreme
measures to obtain the fulfilment of the
sultan's promises. They insist that full
powers shall be accorded the heads of
the international gendarmerie. The ru-
mors that Austria is mobilizing troops
are wholly unfounded.'
Count Goluchowski added that he had
limited to certain powers that he would
ask their aid, with a view to joint action
at Constantinople should the sultan re-
main obstinate.

German Armoriss Also Busy-Powers
Not Pressing Agreement THAT Arms
should Not be Imported for Ten Years.

Washington, March 16.-B. H. War
ner. jr., consul at Leipsic, Germany,
writes to the state department that an
Austrian company has just received an
order Cor so large number of small
arms for the Chinese government that
it will take the company several years
to all the order. even with additional
forces Of men to whom 1t has given en-
ployment.
This is only one Of the many reports
that have come to the state departt-
ment within the past six months that
both in Germany and Austria the arms
makers have been busy supplying the
Chinese with modern arms and ammu-
milton. The fact has attracted attention
here because it was provided in the
treaty of Pekin which closed the Boxer
troubles that for a term of years the
importation Of arms into China should
be stopped absolutely. The purpose was
to reduce the capacity of the Chinese
peasantry FOR mischief through lawless
uprisings against foreigners, and as the
danger is now believed to be no less
than it was at the end of the Boxer
troubles, the officials here view with re-
gret this laxity in the enforcement of
the treaty provision by the signatory
powers.

several Railroad Detectives In Ansonia
Trying to Ferret out the culprits-A
switch spiked Betwssn That city aud
seymour and Freight Train Deraiied
-Omclais mum.

Ansonia. March 16-The presence of
several railroad detectives in this city
during the last few days was accounted
for this morning by a startling rumor
that within the past week several sticks
OF dynamite had been found on the
tracks of the Consolidated railroad be-
tween this city and Seymour and also
that an attempt had been made to de-
rail train by the driving of a large
spike in one of the switches.
The matter has been kept closely
guarded by the railroad officials, and
even the police Of this city were kept
in ignorance of the detectives purpose
in visiting this city. SIX OF them, il is
said, have been diligently employed on
the case since the attempted destruc-
tion.
1t is learned on good authority that a
freight train was the first to pass over
the line. which at present is single
track system, after the switch had been
spiked, and that the caboose and one
other car were derailed Little dam
age was done to them, however, and
the train crew was able to get them
back on the rails, the incident thus be-
| ing closely guarded.
Railroad officials refused to talk on
the question to-day, and up to this hour
I it has been impossible to confirm much
of the report. One official, however, was
disposed to disparage the rumor con-
cerning the dynamite, but would neither
confirm nor deny the incident OF the
spiked switch.

that the opening Of the doors caused a

OPPOSITION TO MOVE

ANOTHER HARD PROPOSITION
FOR BRITISH MINISTRY

Liberal Leader Gives Nottce I'm Com-

Not 10 DisaIlow Chinese Labor Or
dinanee for Trausvani.
London, March 1s-In the House Of
Commons tonight Sir Henry Camp
bell-Bannerman, the liberal leader,
gave notice that he would move the
following vote of censure:
THAT this house disapproves the con-
duct of his majesty's government in
advising the crown not to disallow the
ordinance for the introduction Of Chi
nese labor in the Transvaal.
Sir Henry may tomorrow ask that
a day be set for debate on his motion.
A dispatch from London March IL
said that Colonial Secretary Lyttleton
had telegraphed to Lord Miner, the
British high commissioner in South At
RIGA, saying that King Edward would
not disallow the Asiatic labor inporta-
ton ordinance. adding: THE ordinance
cannot. however, be brought into oper-
alton for the present"
The colonial secretary on March re-
ceived a dispatch from Lord Miner
saying that unless tn etension resulting
from the short labor supply in the
Transvaal was afforded immediate re-
lief there was grave cause to appre-
hend that the financial position Of
South Africa would be seriously afr
fected.
A dispatch from Johannesburg on the
same date said that Secretary Lyttle-
toms statement would not prevent the
Transvaal from proceeding with the ex
ecution Of the ordinance forthwith as
the suggested delay meant only that
certain negotiations had to be complet-
ed with the Chinese government before
laborers could be shipped.

GERMANF's ROAD OPENED.
First Train From the HinterIand to
Kiao Chou.

Shanghai, March 16.-The first regular
train on the Shang-Tung railroad ar
rived at Si-Nan-Wu, from Sin-Tao last
night, having covered the distance, 252
miles in fourteen hours. The train was
decorated with the Chinese and German
flags and had on board number of
Germans. The station at Si-Nan-Fu
was brilliantly illuminated.
The daily morning journal and courier. [volume] (New Haven, Conn.) 1894-1907, 1904-03-17

Sin-Tao is the terminus of the Ger
man railroad at. the entrance of Kiao-
Chou bay, the naval station of Germany
in China. Si-Nan-Fu is about 215 miles
south by east of Pekin.
Pao-Ting-Fu, the southernmost sta
tion of the railroad running southwest
from Pekin, is about $50 miles from ST.
Nan-Fu. Therefore 1t would seem that
at no distant date Kiao-Chou bay and
Pekin may be connected by rail.
