CANNON QUARANTINED
COngressmen Cannot Land at Colon
Until TO-day.

Colon, March 24--The steamer BIucher, with
Speaker Cannon and number OF Congressman
on board. arrived here to-day The Congress
men were not permitted to land owing to the
tact that the Blucher had been out from Venez-
ueia only five days. Six days are required by
the quarantine regulations. and the health au-
thorities were unwilling to establish precedent
In favor OF the Congressman. The steamer will
probably lie in the harbor here until the quaran-
tine period has expired. All on board the
BluCher well.
Colonel L. White Busby writes to The AS
sociated Press protesting against the quar-
antine. He says IN part:
Speaker Cannon and a half dozen Congress-
men are quarantined in Colon HarbOr. Chief
Engineer Of the Panama Canal Stevens has paid
no attention TO the legislators. and Major Cor
gas. the chief sanitary officer, declined to allow
the passengers to land. but on being introduced
20 Mr.. Cannon he offered 10 make an exception
and allow him and his party to land Mr. Can
non declined, saying he was only a passenger
and a private citizen. and therefore could not
place himself above the law laid down for
others Representative Tawney landed with
Major GOrgas and saw Mr. Stevens but no ar
rangement was made 10 lift the quarantine OF
six days against Venezuela. DR. Pierce called
in the afternoon and offered 20 allow the pas
sengers 70 land but they replied that they
would have been glad TO do so this morning
and that they had expected the same cOurtesies

the administration is likely 10 hear about the

ALARM In CHINA.
FEAR OF An UPRISING.
Famine Aiding SeditionOry Societies
PrOpagandG-

washington. March 24-Advices received az
the State Department from Shanghai indicate
that the ruling dynasty in China is seriously
alarmed over the spread OF famine and the OPP
portunity it offers TO seditOnary societies 10
list converts against the government The suf-
ferlng of the people IS used capital, It is sad
IN that the 5udlcious assuaging OF want places
the persons given assistance under obligations to
the societies. The governments inability to re-
Ieve suffering has been magnifled and the hard
ships 81 the people attributed TO lack OF SYM
pathy by the government.
The information received here indicates that
a propaganda has been organized 10 further the
circulation Of stories of the character outlined,
and Il is said that State Department officials
fear that a spread OF hysteria may engender
general uprising. If such should be the result
there IS danger that the government might not
be able 10 control the situation. American and
other foreign interests then would be jeopar-
died So great is the concern that diplomatic
and consular officials in China have been in
structed 10 keep washington advised in regard
20 the situation and every turn taken.
The Chinese government recognizes the dan
ger as Is shown by the fact that Viceroy Tuan
Fang OF YankIng has memorialized the throne
FOR 100000 to purchase East Indian rice TO
feed his people. Undoubtedly this step was
taken 20 offset the work that has been done by
the seditionary societies as well as 10 relieve
the immediate suffering. In taking his action
the vioeroy predicted general uprising in the
famine stricken districts unless prompt relief
was provided but he did not refer to the trouble
that has been stirred up by the anti-government
societies
An extra effort viii be made in the United
States 20 broaden the scope Of the movement to
and relief for the Chinese. Already there have
been large sums of money collected and dis
patched TO China TO be used in the purchase Of
food, and in the near future the transport Bu-
ford Will sail from San Francisco with a ship
load Of provisions given by Louis Klopsch. Edit
or Of The Christian Herald" A general move
ment throughout the civilized world to aid the
government 10 strengthen it's hands and pos
sibly suppress uprising and riots. For the pro-
lection Of foreigners in China, the United States
and European countries are prompted by selfish
as well as humanitarian interest TO come
promptly 10 the assistance Of the Celestial en-
pire.
Any movement which threatens the over
throw Of the present dynasty in China gives
alarm TO the United States and every European
nation which has interests and people in China
The life of every white person in China IS be-
lieyed BY officials of the state Department to
depend upon the continuance Of the Chinese
government as il stands. the Boxer uprising be-
ing cited as an instance Of what might result If
the present government should be weakened.
