CHINESE ARE INFLAMED.
Believe That Native Magistrate Was
 Murdered By French Priest.

Murdered By French Priest.
 Pekin. April 4.-The Nanchang affair of February last. during which a Chi nese magistrate met death as the re- suit of a dispute with French Catholic missionaries which caused the killing of a number of French and British mis- sionaries, continues to inflame the Chi nese
 The native papers in the north of China this week print pictures of the magistrates corpse, showing his wounds with sensational articles writ ten in a style which appeals to the low CT classes. exhorting the people not to forget the outrage and to prepare to defend themselves against foreign brutalities.
 The belief that French priest mur- dered the magistrate is universal and probably no other incident ever excit- ed such widespread resentment against the missionaries.
 In many places the Catholic converts and the other Chinese are living on the basis of armed neutrality and but for the presence of the troops stationed near the missions by the governments orders. the slightest friction would re- sult in masSacres

Chazeeiior Ven Bu<iew Deeisres < shat Ills Country All Along strsve for Equal Prsyfieees in
 Morocco.

Berlin, April 4.-Chancellor von Bue- low, at the request of the Associated Press. gave the following estimate of the results of the Algeciras conference:
 The principle of equal privileges for all countries in Morocco has been as- serted and maintained. That was the contention of Germany from the be- ginning. the one thing that German diplomacy strove for. We placed 1t beyond our power to ask for anything for Germany that we did not ask for all countries.
 ''So powerful was this simple state ment of the principle of equal privi ieges that France, Great Britain and all the countries admitted 1t at the opening of the conference as regards the open door for trade. but the ques- be held open? What guarantees could be given that no one should afterward step in the open door and block the way? Two guarantees only appeared adequate to the German Government, namely. international control of the Bank of Morocco and international su- pervIsion of the police. These guar antees have been accepted by France and all the other participating coun- tries"
 Prince von Buelow continued:
 While Germany has obtained those things which she sought, France has obtained first recognition of her special position as neighbor of the Sultan by international legitimatizing of her right to maintain order adjacent to the AL gerian frontier, to which Germany nev- CT contested; second. by larger share in the State bank. and. third. by having entrusted to her the instruction of the police in company with Spain and under international supervision.
 Throughout this long controversy the European powers have been aware that President Roosevelt was ready to assist in any proper manner in an effort to reach an agreement. The American Governments advice and att titude were helpful. especially during the latter stages of the conference.

St. Petersburg. April 1.-The victory
 of the Constitutional Democrats in the St. Petersburg municipal elections has caused intense jubilation in the radical press. The Molva calls it blow in

 sympathy with the cause of liberty. The Nasha Shisn believe the victory
 foreshadows a radical majority in the Lower House of Parliament. Most of the papers supporting the "block'' ticket put in the field by the "Octoberists" and other similar parties, have not recovered from their surprise at its decesive defeat.

WILL MODIFY
 THE DEMANDS Prospect of Agreement . at New York. THE MINERS WILL RECEDE Expect Operators to Meet Them
 Half Way, However. With Certain Concessions, They are Willing to Continue the Award of
 the Strike Commission
 Another Year.

New York, April fit was the gem eral belief tonight of those who are closely watching the situation about the anthracite miners headquarters In this city that the miners have definitely de- cided to modify their demands and will present them to the operators by tomor- row.
 Some of the members of the commit tee privately admitted before coming to New York for the present negotia- tions that the original demands were greater than the miners really expected to get and that the leaders could afford to trim them down and still leave the workers enough to be satisfied.
 It is believed that if the operators will meet the men half way on some of the demands they have made. such as board, an eight-hour day and an in crease in pay for some classes of la bor. the miners would seriously con slider the proposition of renewing the strike commission award for not more than one year. The miners have all along asserted that they would not bind themselves to any agreement for three years.
 wnl Meet Today.
 Preparations for another meeting to- morrow between the subcommittee
  and miners kept the Shamokin Scale Committee of miners busy today. TWO long sessions were held.
 All the leaders received reports from the anthracite field during the day and evening and declared the situation was entirely satisfactory to them.
 President Mitchell is devoting almost as much time to the situation in the bituminous fields as he is to the hard coal regions He is hourly in receipt of telegrams from his lieutenants. and from coal operators in the West. When asked tonight how matters stood Tn the soft coal fields he said:
 Entirely satisfactory to me. be- lieve the situation in the West will soon be cleared up. - -. -
 When President Mitchell was in. fo-n,ed Etfiat President Roosevelt had declined to interfere with the soft coal troubles, he showed great interest. He refused to comment on the Presidents action, but plainly showed he was much gratified at the stand the President has taken Among Mir. Mitchelrs vis- itors today was J. |.

DIVES ON HORSE, YET STICKS
Girl in Red Makes Hit at DR.. Car
Ver's ShoW-Cupid Is
Wise Equine

DIR. William F. Carver gave his div
ing horse exhibition at Chutes park
yesterday afternoon to a large aud
ience. Jim Walton made his death
defying, twenty-foot leap in an auto
mobile down a forty-foot high loop.
The high diving horses, five in number,
did some extra fine work.
Miss Lorena Lawrence. the girl in
red, again played with death and made
a successful dive on the trained horse
Cupid.
Carver demonstrated his great marks
manship with the rifle and did some
clever shooting.
When Miss Lawrence climbed the
forty-foot high diving stand the cheers
of thousands greeted her daring ven-
ture. She simply threw a kiss at her
admirers and waited until Cupid
ascended the incline. When the
equine reached the top of the stand she
climbed nimbly upon his back and
waited patiently until he was prepared
for the leap.
Probably it meant life probably it
didn't, to this daring little woman.
Not visible sign Of fear was displayed
by Miss Lawrence. When the animal
did stoop to descend into the pool of
water, forty feet below, she clutched
his body. Then. amid cheers, she urged
the animal over the brink and struck
the water with a splash.
She had won another prize.

STUDIES CHAINED MAD DOG
Doctor Expects to Learn Much About
Hydrophoba by Watching
Crazed Animal

Special to The Herald.
NEW YORK, April LIN order
that he may observe and study every
manifestation of the dreaded hydro
phobia Dr.. Arthur w. Smith of No. IS
Prospect place, East Orange N. j., has
securely chained up a mad dog. The
animal has been sick for three days
now, and DR.. Smith thinks that in
about three more days it will die. By
tomorrow he expects the dog will have
reached the most acute stage of the
disease.
The dog is a handsome terrier with a
fine pedigree. 1t was bitten several
weeks ago by a wandering cur, and on
Friday began to act strangely. 1t went
out on a raid and slaughtered fifteen
chickens belonging to a neighbor and
then started to worry inanimate objects
It was then placed under restraint.
The dog so far has exhibited several
characteristic symptoms of hydro
phobia. 1t has the characteristic yelp-
ing cry, the spasmodic contraction of
the throat muscles when it attempts to
swallow water and attacks anything
which is brought near to it.
DR.. Smith says he expects to learn
much about hydrophobia by watching
the animal. He says if he finds its
distress becoming too keen he will
kill it.

This was the explanation given today
by Joseph Elsner, head waiter at the

400 shares of North Butte Copper stock
through which he is today $2S, 400 richer
than he was several months ago. His
habit of listening much and talking
little to the people who happened into
the Holland house cafe proved to be
silence that was really golden.

ket from any one person." said Elsner
but from number of people. And I
knew that business men usually know
what they are talking about and would
have no motive for leading me astray

That was in November last, when
North Butte was selling at Is. Today

Elsner's windfall makes him now
worth about $4,000.
