Nan-Kau pass and the Ming tombs, as Prince Henry of Prussia did in ISOS." Dr. Morrison, wiring to the Times from Fcking on Tuesday, say?: "The Tartar general commanding In the province of i?ze-Chunn has been nominated governor general of Manchuria in deference to Russia's Invitation to China to resume the government of that territory under Russian protection- The Chinese p-ace commissioners have receive! a telegram from the Kmpress dowager, dated Nov. 1'), censuring their failure to prevent the dispatch of foreign punitive exiedltlons into the interior. The Empress dowager continues to Issue orders appointing officials to office. She is unable to realize her position and has even appointed literary chancellors to conduct examinations in the provinces. Trustworthy dispatches from Neu-Chwang ns?ert that, despite their assurances they will not loot the railway, the Russians are transferring material from the Shan-Kwan line across the river at New-Chwang to the Russian Manchurlan Railway." A FAYOIIAIILC SIGX.

Rciolt of Prince Toon anil Gen, Tans: -Wanton Slnrder lr Soldier. BERLIN, Xov. IS. The news that Prince Tuan and General Tung Fu Ilsiang had rebelled was greeted here as a favorable sign. The Tageblatt says that if it be true, the rebellion will probably Induce the Emperor and Empress dowager to return to Peking and place themselves under the protection of the powers. Another batch of soldiers letters, describing horrible cruelties committed in China at the orders of superiors, is published today. The Vorwaerts prints five such communications. A correspondent of the Cologne Gazette cables that between TienTsln and Peking It has become a sport for the allied troops, especially the Russians, to shoot every Chinaman, even the most harmless. A number of prominent papers now denounce such methods. The Colocne Volks Zeitung, the Centrist organ, says: "Such wholesale murdering will sow unquenchable hatred, destroying forever all ehanc of missionary work In China. The government must take notice of these things, and issue peremptory orders to Count Von WaMersee to prevent them hereafter, as they are a shame to all civilization." 31 AY nCMOVC TO SHANGHAI. Von YValdersec May Leave the Chi ne e Capital for the AVinter. TIKN-TSIN, Oct. IL In the opinion of military men, there U little likelihood that recently renewed operations will be prolonged after the. cold weather has fairly set In. . Few . of the forces now here are adequately equipped for winter campaigning, and this region, cannot be relied fn for any supplies. Little grain was harvested, as the harvest season occurred after the trouble began and the laborers were driven out. Recent foraging parties extending to a considerable distance have found few herds, and the allies are forced to rely entirely on their own commissaries. The military situation is naturally dependent on the progress of diplomatic negotiations. It is known that Count Von Walderjsee, the commander of the allies. Is considering the advisability of removing his winter headquarters to Shanghai, and this is taken to indicate that the allies will net endeavor to prolong operations in the north- Prior to his departure for Peking, it was unofficially intimated that ifis plans contemplated Shanghai as the most available point for the winter, and In the event of his removal there it is considered probable the commanders of at least a part of the old forces will go also. The fears of a coal stringency In Peking have been somewhat relieved by the organization of a caravan to the coal districts. The supply, however, is small, and even with the exertion of all possible effortsvto secure fuel. It is believed in military circles that the winter will be severe on the troops, both here and In Peking. An early winter Is generally predicted. The temperature fell suddenly to 24 degree? last night, which Is unusually low for this season. The British have abandoned their camp on the plains to the southwest, and. with the return of the Pao-TIng-Fu expedition, will put their men in buildings for the winter. The bulk of the German force is being rapidly sent forward to Peking, but those still here are in tents, and the scarcity of lumber probably will prevent " the erection of winter barracks. The inadequacy of the railway facilities is a source of much embarrassment. As indicated in the dispatches of the Associated ITess, there Is no likelihood that the road from Yang-Tsun to Peking will be in operation this winter, consequently the allies are depending on the river for transportation. The Americans, fearing that the rapid fall In the Pei-llo will impede navigation, are using wagon trains to rush supplies to Peking. They are tho only force equipped with wagons and animals. General Humphrey, the chief quartermaster. Is sending four-mule trains up as fast as possible, and the bulk of the supplies for the American garrison at Peking is already under way or safely stored in the capital: Little progress has been made by the! allied forces, who, with the exception of the Russians, will maintain a largo garrison at Peking. As a result, the opinion is gaining ground that a portion of the present estimate of troops may be forced to withdraw. Want the "Open Door' Maintained. WASHINGTON. Nov. 15. Secretary I lay has received a petition from nearly all of the leading cotton manufacturers of the South that he take such action as may be wlthir. his power to prevent the interference by any Kuropean iower, which might close the foreign markets to the important cotton manufactures of the United Htates and Injure other American interests. The petitioners declaro that the "open-door" policy is necessary to secure the retention of the trade in cotton shirtings of China, most of which are manufactured In Southern States. It is said that the withdrawal of this trade in Manchuria would seriously affect not only the manufacturers of cotton goods, but Southern cotton growers and employes and laborers In the cotton mills. The petitioners represent fully S15,0OO,fH in capital, and declare they have lost their trade since the Itoxer uprising, and are now funning on half time. This is only one of many communications of similar tone that have teen received at the State Department. The Court May Move to Cheng-Tu. SHANGHAI, Nov. 13. There are continued rumors of the projected transfer of the Chinese court to Cheng-Tu, but It is said that the viceroy of the province of Lze-Chuan objects to such an arrangement. It la al3o rumored that a rebellion has broken out In the province of Kiang-Su. Chung Chi Tung, the Wu-Chang viceroy, Is said to be raising 100.f"0 troops and to have propoel to the Nan-King viceroy that they should combine their forces to oppose the allies, making the Yang-Tse their base for operations against Shen-Sl.

TROUBLE AT STANFORD HEAD PROFESSOR OF ECOX03IICS AD SOCIOLOGY RESIGNS. Statement by President Jordan, of the Vnlverslty Dr. Ros DIsmixKnl Denounced by Dr. Howard. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Cal., Nov. 15. Dr. Edward Ross, head professor in the department of economics and sociology at Stanford University, has resigned. The resignation caused quite a. sensation in university circles, where Dr. Ross was extremely popular. In his formal letter of resignation Dr. Ross Intimated that he was being forced out of the university by Mrs. Stanford, who had taken exceptions to statements mado by him in his public addresses on sociological and economic questions. He further said that Mrs. Stanford was prompted by certain powerful persons and commercial interests In San Francisco. Several of the faculty have taken sides with Dr. Ross. President Jordan to-day said: "In regard to the resignation of Dr. Ross, It is right that I should make a further statement. There Is not the slightest evidence that he is a 'martyr to freedom of speech.' Nor is there any reason to believe that his withdrawal has been due to any pressure of capital or any other sinister influence. I know that Mrs. Stanford's dercision was reached only after long and earnest consideration, and that its motive way the wrelfare of the university, and that alone. The sentence quoted in a San Francisco morning paper to the effect that men of large interests Eastern financiers, as a rule have had a part in determining the relations of Dr. Ross is one which I cannot accept as having been uttered by me. The interests to which the reporter meant to refer were interests in economic science, not in finance." Upon being shown Dr. Jordan's statement Dr. Ross dictated the following: "Dr. Jordan knows vastly more than I do as to Mrs. Stanford's motives. Whatever he says is conclusive, so far as I am concerned. It is absolutely certain, however, that the freedom of speech is involved, not In my appearance, personality or character, but solely my nonpartisan scientific utterances have been the root of Mrs. Stanford's distrust of me." Supplementing former utterances on the subject of Professor Ross's dismissal. Dr. Howard to-day addressed his class in history upon- tho matter, and his address forms the most sensational statement that has yet been delivered in the Ross controversy. The entire hour of the class was given up to the discussion of "free speech." Dr. Howard arraigned the influence that brought about the dismissal of the professor. Professor Howard concluded his speech with this sensational utterance: "I do not bow down to Saint Market street. I do not doff my hat to the Six Companies, neither am I afraid of the Standard Oil Company." 1 OUR DUTY TO FILIPINOS. President Jacob (1. Schiirinno Sum I n AVliht Should lie Done. NEW YORK, Nov. 13. President J. G. Sehurman, of Cornell University, m:ide an adress on "Our Duty to the Philippines" to the Baptist Social Union to-night. Dr. Sehurman summed up the duty of the American government as follows: "To protect American soldiers and life, to protect the lives of Filipinos and their property who would be loyal, to stamp out guerrilla warfare, to create such permanency of power that every man, woman and child in the archipelago will know that we mean to stamp out this warfare. In addition, to send there an army so large and permanent that it can accomplish those four objects. "General Lawton told me." declared the speaker, "that an army of 100,000 men would bo needed, end reports from the islands prove it. I hope and pray that Congress will not consider the matter in a penny-wise and pound-foolish way. Do rot send a sufficient force, but an overwhelming force. Nothing has hurt us so much In the Philippines as changing our army and withdrawing part of it. They said that we were going to give up the job. I pray that Congress will give us an armylarge enough to wind up the business. The greater preliminary cost will mean the greater economy in the long run. "I have more at hetrt our moral mission. I do not believe that we should exploit foreign lands for our benefit at home. Th islands come as the inevitable result of our war with Spain, and, having come to us. I believe in fulfilling our obligations. So I say put down the insurrection, make life secure, set up courts, give the people all the home rule they are. capable of. That. I the Immediate duty. Leave the rest to our grandchildren. The population of the island will then be fused in one nation. If they 'demand complete separation our descendants will grant It. But it is a question if they will want It." ACCOUNTS ALL EIGHT. (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) Griswold, met Mr. Shattuck and Mr. Strong and Receiver Treat, of Strong & Co., and after a long conference Mr. Brown said that the matter would be settled without any further action in court. When asked whether the executors had offered In settlement with Mrs. Griswold securities an 1 mortgages that had been purchased with money given to ex-Mayor Strong for investment Mr. Brown paid that through injunction proceedings those securities are being legally guarded. "The injunction." said Mr. Brown, "was sought for the purpose of protecting Mrs. Griswold's- title to the property. The attachments in Philadelphia against accounts owed Strong & Co. were taken to protect our clients in case the securities were in the possession of that firm. They are still in force." An Attorney Statement. NEW YORK, Nov. 13.-J. Campbell Thompson, an attorney for Mrs. Marcia Cox, daughter of the late Edgar E. Duryea, millionaire starch manufacturer, makes a statement in connection with the Grant Brothers failure to the effect that Duryea had speculated through the firm and that more than a year ago he decided to change his brokers. In doing so Duryea made a demand on Grant IJrothers for JlOO.uw due htm. which the firm could not pay. Mr. Thompson says that within the last sixty days one of the executors of the Duryea will made a demand on Grant Brothers for settlement and .had not been successful.

Contest papers were filed with the county auditor to-day, by two defeated candidates for county offices. On the face of the returns, David Wheatley (Rep.) was elected county assessor by eight plurality, and James N. Richards (Rep.) was elected recorder by twenty plurality. The rock-ribbed remnant of the Democratic party was so chagrined over the defeat that it hopes to keep up an agitation and continued trouble by this contest. The contest does not receive the moral support of the better and larger element in the Democratic party, and it is using Its influence against It. The Republicans and more than one hundred Democrats who voted the Republican county ticket are not much alarmed, feeling confident that nothing serious can result from it. Martin County Jubilation.
