IN MEXICAN WATERS
AMERICAN FISHERMEN P0ACHING
 WHEN SEIZED.
State Department Receives Reply of the Mexican Government to Inquiry Regarding the Capture of
 Smacks In the Gulf.

Washington, May 25.-The State De- nartment has received through MT. Mariscal. the Mexican Minister for For eisn Affairs, the reply of that Govern ment to the inquiry adopted by the department relative to the grounds for the seizure by Mexican gunboats of several American fishing schooners from Pensacola, Mobile and Galveston.
 The minister's note states the exact spots. by latitude and longitude, where the seizures were made, and consulta- tion of the charts makes 1t appear that if these locations are correctly stated inc American boats were undoubtedly within Mexican waters.
 The fact is referred to that for long time the waters of Campeche. Bay has been ashed by foreign vessels without nrotest. hut now after having given inc necessary warning to desist, the Mexican Government is determined to reserve all fishing rights therein for it's own citizens Reefs and islands lie out in these waters many miles from the shore line but according to the con- struction placed by our State Depart roant in the case of American fisheries upto territorial rights, the waters sur roundinR these islands are closed to foreign fishermen.
 Az if is alleged that the American vessels were lying in close to some of these islands, when fishing, it appears that there is nothing to be done now hut await the outcome of the legal nroccedings to take place in the Mexi- Zen courts as the result of the seizures, tba American fisherman being mean while out on bail.

 Victoria, B. C.. May 25s--Maii advices from the Orient state that an earth quake causing great loss of life and considerable damage to property oc- cured at the beginning of May at Uniankai vicinity in Mongolia.
 The Pekin Times reports that a chasm of several feet wide was caused by the earthquake. The walled city of Uniankai was almost completely de- stroyed, loss of life being very heavy.
 of1cials at Picking had received news that the calamity was of excep- tional severity and arrangements were being made for the relief of the people in distriess. Several shocks are also reported from Fokien province of China, the most disastrous to Chuen, Chou prefecture, where many buildings were destroyed. the loss of life was un- known.
 The Hunghautza brigands have fo- mented a. serious insurrection in Peng Tien province, Manchuria- The mount ed bandits established themselves in a village thirty miles east of Mukden. and mounted three quick firing guns on an elevation guarding the approach es to the village.
 The Tartar, General Chao Erhsen dis patched some mounted troops aided by the Japanese police at Mukden, and they were defeated, losing many men, horses, arms and ammunition. Two regiments of foreign drilled troops were then ordered from ChilhH to re- inforce a Manchurian battalion sent to the stronghold.
 Before the foreign drilled troops ar rived, the Manchurian battalion was driven back with loss. Emboldened by such success, the Hunghutza secured large additions and made a number of raids to villages west of Mukden.
 The foreign drilled troops have talk en a position seven miles east of rebels and were awaiting endorsements by three brigades sent from Chinchou to suppress the insurrection. Serious risings are reported in other provinces of China In Motan, the rebels de- stroyed the government buildings, but dispersed on arrival of troops.

GOES TO PETERHoF
PREMIER GOREsaYKfN PRESENTS
 STATEMENT OF POLICY.
The Agents of ReactiOn Are Adopting Treaties in Favor of a Disper- sal of Parliament and a
 Return to old Order.

St Petersburg, May 25.-Premier Goremykin at 8 o'clock tomorrow after noon will read before tine lower house of parliament the governments re- sponse to the address in reply to the speech from the throne and announce the governments policy.
 The purpose of M. Goremykin's trip to Peterhof today, the Associated Press learns, was to read to Emperor Nich- olas the final draft of the cabinets declaration of policy and was not con- nected in any wise with the rumored shift in the ministry which. however, is possible at no distant day
 The emperor at the last moment ad- vised a few changes in the declara- tion. These caused hurried meet Ing of the cabinet at which alterations were drafted and inserted.
 Tn delivering the declaration premier Goremykin, who is not especially gift ed as a speaker. will adhere strictly to the formal text, printed copies of which will be distributed to the mem- bers of the house tomorrow.
 The conservative Liberal newspaper Strana (County) which claims to have Inside information. says that the de- claration will take up and answer. roint by point, the House address the response to the demands on all the important agrarlan questions being q DTOHOunCldTutTlO bilitY of private property and recom- mendation that the solution be sought in improving and intensifying methods ot agriculture and the migration of the surplus population to the sparsely set tied regions of Siberia and Central Asia,
 On the other points The Strana says the recommendation will be largely negative but there will be a positive rronosaI for reforn1 in local admin istration, including the abolishment of the hated "Zemsky Neahalniks." or retty administrative despots, whose harsh treatment is one of the main grievances of the peasantry and the placing of the gendarmes and rural po- lice under control of the Judiciary instead of the administrative branch.
 With regard to amnesty, the cabi- net will declare for continuation of the wholesale release as fast as pos sible but will insist that general am nesty is inexpedient-
 The position Of the government on the amnesty and agrarian propositions will not satisfy the general outcry. A despatch to the Associated Press from Moscow says that denial of full amnes- ty probably will be followed by gen eral strike. Similar news has been re- ceived from other industrial centres.
 The constitutional Democratic mem bers of the house are caucussing to- night on the agrarian question which evidently is the most perplexlng prob lem thus far encountered. great diversity of opinion is manifested. Alp parently 1t Is realized that there Will be great difficulty in formulating law which. however, it may be drafted IS bound to be subject 10 attack the par ties of the Right and Left.

 The Caldwell Report.
 The special committee named to formulate the judgment of the gem era assembly as a court in the Caldwell case. reported that in sus- taining the complaint of the session of the First Presbyterian Church of Fort Worth. against the Synod of Texas. the action of the synod was reversed and that by this reversal of judgment Rev William E.

 The complaint of pr. S. s. Laws against the Synod of Virginia is to be considered before the final adjourn ment of the assembly. This complaint is known as the "polygamy case.' It refers to converts in countries whose laws allow plural marriages. Dr. Laws believes that a man converted in such country and having more than one wife. should annul all but the first marriage when he enters the church The Synod of Virginia. it is alleged, holds 1t unwise that all such plural marriages should be annulled. but believes that he should not con tract other marriages after entering the church with his several wives. un- less he becomes a widower
 The assembly today passed resolu- ton providing for a combination of all Evangelical churches against the liq- uor traffic. An invitation was extended by the assembly to other churches to appoint committees to meet for the purpose of drafting plans for the work. Without comment the report of the committee on church erection was adopted.
 The afternoon session was given over to committee reports of various kinds with a number of interesting address es suggested by these reports. Among these were the protests of Dr. John V. Mccall, Dr. W. E. Boggs and others against the action of the assembly in receiving the judgment in the Caldwell case without objections. These pro- tests were ordered spread upon the records of the assembly but no further formal action was taken.
 In connection with the newly author izzed committee on church and Chris tfan education, which Is to be estab- lished in headquarters at Atlanta, 1t was recommended that Rev. c. H. Cor nelson, of Concord, N C., be appointed secretary with salary of s2,000 a year. This suggestion has not yet reached vote.
 The standing committee on foreign mission submitted its report which was adopted. It provides that thirty five additional missionaries shall be sent out during the coming year and recom- mends that the church raise $325,000 during the year for foreign missions.
 The general assembly adjourned to- night to meet at Birmingham, on the third Thursday of May, 1907.
