CHINA HOLDING HER OWN.
Continues Negotiations With Japan on
Tatsu Maru Incident.

Peking, March 12.-The negotia-
tions between China and Japan re-
garding the Tatsu Maru, the Japanese
steamer that was seized by China Feb.
on the ground that She was convey
ing arms and ammunition to Chinese
revolutionists, are proceeding on the
basis of Chinas offer to compromise
the importation of arms and ammuni-
tion from Japan into Chinese terri
tory.
China seems to be holding her own
in the proceedings, for her claim to
the right to consider the Portuguese
side of the question separately from
the controversy with Japan has been
accepted by Japan. at least provision
ally, and she has been able to sustain
her claim of Justification in making
the seizure on the ground that the
Tatsu Maru discharged her cargo in
Chinese waters. China also has sus-
tanned her contention that the cargo
of the Japanese vessel was liable to
confiscation. She admits, in sub
stance, that she was wrong in hauling
down the Japanese flag ON the Tatsu
Maru and for this error has apollo
gized, but she has not receded from
her argument that she had the right
to confiscate the ship and its cargo,
nor from the principle of equable adj
justment of the difficulty, upon which
she has all along insisted
1t is understood in Hongkong that
the consignees of the cargo OF the
Tatsu Maru have repudiated their
obligations on the ground that the
vessel digressed from the course she
was charted to follow.

ON BROWNSVILLE AFFAIR.
President Transmits Brief Message to
Congress.

Washington, March 12.-In connec-
tion with the report of the senate
committee on military affairs on the
Brownsville riot, just made to the
senate, the president transmitted a
message in which he said that the
facts set forth in his order dismissing
the negro soldiers had been substan-
tiated by the testimony before the
committee He recommended in his
message that the time for the rein
statement of the discharged soldiers,
which has expired. be extended for a
year in order to permit the president
to reinstate any of the discharged
men who did not fall within the terms
of his dismissal. Senator Warren pre-.
sented the report of the committee on
behalf of the majority and Senator
Foraker the views of the minority.
The majority report contended that
the shooting was done by some SOL
diers of the Twenty-fifth infantry,
though the testimony fails to identify
the particular participants. 1t states,
despite the considerable contradictory
testimony, that the majority's case is
proved.

FAILS TO FIX THE BLAME

Burke has rendered his decision in
the Collinwood school fire. Conditions

riage-Thaw Family Said to Be in
Favor of AnnuIment.
New York, March 1.-THE first
legal step has been taken by counsel
for Evelyn lIesbit Thaw in her con-
templated action to secure the annul-
ment of her marriage to Harry X.
Thaw.
Daniel O'Reilly, the young wife's
counsel, sent a clerk to the Mattea-
wan asylum to serve the papers in
the case upon Thaw and also sent pa
pers to be served on Thaw's mother.
He said:
Legally speaking. Harry Thaw is
dead, so it is necessary to have for a
defendant his next of kin. The mother
will not try to make any trouble for
us. She is very kindly disposed to.
ward our case and is sympathetic
with the attitude young Mrs. Thaw
has taken. We do not believe that we
will experience any difficulty in pro-
curing a decision in our favor.
Nothing has been done In regard
to a settlement The reported figures
"a lump sum of $4,000 and an an
nual allowance of $15,0O0-are all
guesswork."
Thaw Will Fight Case.
According to A. Russell Peabody,
Thaw's counsel, Thaw will oppose the
annulment with every means at his
command and will contest the allega-
tion that he was insane at the time
OF his marriage. 1t is stated that Mrs
Thaw is prepared to testify In her
own behalf in this action, but that ii
her testimony should be useful In Sc
curing Thaw's release from the in
sane asylum she is prepared to give
evidence in his favor.
1t is reported that members of
Thaw's family strongly favor the move
to annul the marriage and that If 1t
be successful Evelyn Thaw will be
provided for financially.
Although counsel for both Thaw and
his wife announce that the action ais
about to begin neither would disclose
the cause of the difference between
the two, but 1t was stated that the
trouble began year ago during
Thaws first trial and that reconcilia-
tion was an impossibility.
A copy of the summons and COM
plant issued on behalf of Evelyn
Thaw has been made public. 1t al
leges that at the time of the marriage
Harry X. Thaw was a lunatic and of
unsound mind and was incapable of
making valid contract and incapable
of contracting marriage"

The GRADED SCHOOL BOYS
Lose Two Games to Florence PFeSby-
tePidn School.

After considerable delay, due
to the carelessnesS of the eX-
press company, the graded
school baseball uniforms have
been received. AS they were
made by the Spalding company
it is needless to say that in
quality of material, excellence
of workmanship, and neatness
of fit they are all that they
should be. The boys are proud
of their suits-as they should be,
for their uniforms present an at
tractive appearance.
The team enjoyed a very
pleasant trip to Florence last
Saturday, playing two games
with the Presbyterian High
school that afternoon. As this
was the first really fast team
they had met on the diamond
and their first trip to another
town, naturally the boys did not
make the showing they usually
dc, Florence winning both games,
the score being 10 to 0 in the
first and 2 to 0 in the second.
The games were prettily played
with the exception of two or
three innings in which our boys
allowed runs to be made as the
result of costly errors,due chief
ly to nervousness. However,
the boys are we'll pleased with
their trip and with the court
eous treatment accorded them
by their opponents
1t is probable that arrange
ments can be made for a game
with Florence in Kingstree Mon.
day, May 4,or week or so later.
If this can be done we promise
an interesting contest; for the
Kingstree boys, smarting from
the defeat administered them
last Saturday, are determined
to do all in their power to re-
deem themselves and the Flor
ence team is a fast one, having
on it three or four players who
would make good on a college
team and whose playing is we'll
worth seeing.
