llrltlnh I'rotet Heeded. SHANGHAI, Nov. IS. As the outcome of the protest by Great Dritain against the transfer of Yu Chang to the governorship of Wu-Chang, this ofhcial will be replaced by a governor who is pro-foreign in h's tympathles. It is reported that General Ma, with 10,ftJ men, General Fang, with 8.000, and General Yu, with 5,0tn. are marching toward the borders of the province of CMLi to check the advance of the allies westward. LI Hung Chans and the Yang-Tse viceroy?, it is said, have guaranteed the Empress dowager's personal safety if she will return to Peking, but she believe- that they arc In league with the allies to capture her. The French force which went to the relief of the Catholic priests besieged at Chen-Ting, In Chi-Li piovince, succeeded in rescuing them. MorrmfnU to the Xortlivrent. BERLIN, Nov. 18.

A large fcrce of Chinese cavalry had Just evacuated the place." . lUimi:il AM) M1STHEAT.MCNT Charged to Foreign Troop In China Supnlle for the American. Crre5jxnJence of the Associated Press. TIKN-TSIN, Oct. 20. Numerous instances of robbery and mistreatment of Chinese by European soldiers have be?n n ported to the authorities and since th withdrawal of the American contingent of the military police of the walled city lawlessness has increased. Much of it is laid at the door of recently arrived troop.', but the Chinese fear of foreigners makes it practically Impossible to get evidence against the perpetrators. The American coolie gangs have been robbed several t'mes, while returning at night to the native city, and they assert that the French soldiers did It. Now each gang carries a small American flag, and as far as reported, this has afforded them protection. Within the past few days several complaints have been made to the provisional city government that soldiers have openly looted Chinese houses late at night, the police affording absolutely no protection against foreigners. According to Chinese reports, small bands of robbers have been committing depredations in villages near the city, but so far no organized efforts to suppress them has been mads by the military authorities. In fact the scarcity of troops available for such work and the utter impossibil.ty of locating the guilty parties make s ich a task a formidable one. Dullness U rapidly reviving in the native city of Tien-Tsln, but little new sunplies are coming in, the demand for transportation being so great that the Chinese merchants are unable to secure vessels. The result is a scarcity of food, and tha statement is made by reliable natives that there is already considerable suffering. The senrcity of fuel Is becoming felt, even among Europeans, and there is little doubt that Chinese will suffer greatly with the cotd weather. Realizing the conditions which prevail when the rigorous northern weather sets in, several American oflicers quietly set on fcot a movement to secure aid from the United States for the natives. A number of resident foreigners were approacned and immediately gave it their emphatic disapproval. They asserted at an Informal conference that it would be highly Impolitic to institute a relief expedition at this time. Consequently the proposition was dropped, but on every hand there Is ample evidence that the winter will bring suffering In the already overcrowded Chinese quarters. Hundreds of Chinese have been forced to take refuge In the city from the near-by-villages, which were practically destroyed, and they are taking possession of the ruins and repairing them as well as possible for shelter. Since the withdrawal of the marines and a part of the Fifteenth infantry to police a large section at the walled town the provisional government has been somewhat handicapped. The United States is not now represented in the military police. On Monday the last American garrison was withdrawn from the south arsenal, which was turned over to the provisional government practically intact. Only a few riflea were taken from the warehouses, commissioned officers being allowed to secure a few relics. The evacuation of the arsenal was made the occasion for a little ceremony. Facing the main gate of the building, high on the brick wall, there has flown ince two days after the Japanese and Americans rushed the south gate aii American nag. It was the lirst piece of red, white and blue bunting that ever waved from the old fortiticatlons of the ancient city. At & o'clock the garrison was drawn up under arms, the standard saluted by the bugle and as the command presented arms the flag came slowly down. The problem of placing sufficient supplies in Peking for the large force which is to winter there has afforded a line test for the quartermaster and commissary departments of the various forces. In fact it has been a contest of methods and systems and it 13 generally acknowledged that at present the Americans are ahead. WEATHER FORECAST.

While supplies have been going steadily up the country the past tew months it was not untli the order from Washington directing the retention of the Ninth Infantry, the third squadron of the- Sixth Cavalry and Light Mattery F, of the Sixth Artillery, were received, that the quartermaster and commissary departments were able properly to Judge the situation. Preparations were begun Immediately on receipt of these orders adequately to equip the Peking force. General Humphrey, the chief quartermaster, who recently arrived, immediately gathered an extensive fleet of Junks, and the work has been pushed vigorously. The commissary department, in charge of Major Hugh J. Gallagher, has been rushing in supplies as fast as they can be brought up from Tong-Ku, and even at this early date, with probably six weeks of navigation left, it is felt that the Americans have the supply situation well In hand. Winter clothing In sufficient quantity for all pressing need. is now in Peking, and tontage and camp stoves will Ik? there in time for cold weather. The chief problem has been transportation. Every junk and lighter in the Pel-Ho region has been pressed into service by the allies, and at the start the Americans were somewhat handicapped. This, however, has now been remedied. In the matter of animal transport the United States contingent of the Chinese expeditionary force is conceded to be superior to any except perhaps the splendidly equipped India sea iralns of the British. The big army wagons and large mules have been greatly admired by the offiers of other forces, and the character and quantity of the American supplies have been much complimented. The question of supplying the Peking army for the long and severe winter is a strlous one. The l'el-IIo, which affords transportation as far as Tung-Cao, is falling rapidly, and river men say navigation will be extremely difficult after the middle of November. About Dec. 1 the freeze Is expected, and navigation will entirely ciose. from Taku up. All transportation will have to be by pack and wagon trains, and there is apparently little chance that the railway will be completed this winter. The failure of the Russians to restore the read beyond Yang-Tsun has caused some severe criticism, and It has been asserted that they did not desire the railway completed. The Americans have practically abandoned the railway foi supply transportation. Considerable friction has resulted from the Russian method of operation, and the service has of late become so inadequate that little or no attempt has bten made by any of the others to utilize the railway. The occupation of Shan-Hai-Kwan by the British has relieved the supply situation considerably. With the restoration and operation of the railway there will be easy access to Tien-Tsin all winter, as Shan-IIal-Kwan has an open port. This also makes available a fairly plentiful coal supply from Shan-Tung, on the line of the railway. The mines have not been injured, and there Is said to be a large quantity of coal on the dumps ready for transportation. In addition to the several military wires to Peking, a commercial line is now nearing completion, and there will be no lack of telegraphic communication frcm the capital this winter should the legation remain there. The German contingent, though superbly equipped in other respects, has been badly hnndicapped by lack of animal transportation. For some time foraging parties have been scouring the region around TienTsin for mules, ponies and carts, and the result has been rather an unmllltary looking aggregation of mules, donkeys, shaggy little ponies and native vehicles, contrasting curiously with the otherwise most perfect equipment of the forces. Imperial Troops Are II any. Corres pondence of the Associated Press. TIEN-TSIN, Oct. 2L Reports from all directions in Chi-LI province indicate that the imperial troops are at least making a show of punishing and dispersing the Boxers. It is said in reliable Chinese circles that this movement, which was promised by Li Hung Chang on his return from the south, would assume larger and more general proportions if the authorities were sure of security from attacks on imperial troops by the allied forces. This fear was well grounded, as was shown by the reported attack of a body . of French on an imperial force of 2,000 troops which were operating to the south in the direction of Pao-Ting-Fu. As cabled the Associated Press the British column of the Pao-Ting-Fu expedition, commanded by Gen. Lorne Campbell, found a small body of imperial troops at Wen-Au-lIsien, about fifty miles southwest of here. These men on being interrogated asserted that they had been sent out from Pa-Chou to disperse the Boxers and had severely punished several villages and killed more than two hundred Boxers. .While returning to Fa-Chou they met a column of French, who fired on them and dispersed them. General Campbell took their arms and horses and released them. st a number of villages scouting parties have found the heads of Boxers on the walls. Advices from PIng-Tu state that 5,000 men of Yuan's force have killed a large number of Boxers, and there is scarcely a market town but' whose walls are adorned with the ghastly evidence of punishment. At Ping-Tu city it is stated that among the victims of Yuan's troops were a number of mere lads whom the soldiers tried to spare. Their fanaticism, however, led them to resist the troops and they were put to death. Repeated evidence of the earnestness of the Chinese authorities In this direction are having an effect, and there Is rather general belief that if a-.-Furance could be obtained that the imperial troops will not suffer molestation by the allies they are amply able to quell any local disturbances In the north. I Yuan's troops have also been active in southwest Wu-Ting-Fu, where it is said that early in the bummer an entire community of native Christians, numbering about 120 persons, were massacred by Boxtrs. Yuan dispatched a force to that region recently, and it Is reported they found the perpetrators of the outrage, killing seventy of them. 0

HLOODTIIIHSTY ritCACIIKR. He Invokes tlie Monaic Creed ARaiimt the Celentlaln. NEW YORK. Nov. lS.-Dr. W. A. P. Martin, president of the New Imperial University In Peking, to-day gave out an open letter, the caption of which Is "Justice to China," which he calls the question of the hour for the whole world. Dr. Martin takes exception to some recently printed newspaper articles which advise moderation in the treatment of the Chinese. He says, in effect, if the ruling powers in China were of Chinese strain there might be some excuse for moderation but he calls the Empress dowager "a Tartar usurper who follows the traditions of the Grand Khan and treats ambassadors with contumely." As to the plea that China be treated a a self-respecting power. Dr. Martin says: "What kind of self-respect was it for the Empress dowager on the 19th of June, before Baren Von Ketteler was killed, to send a secret edict to all her viceroys, 'exterminate foreigners, kill the native Christian?' What sort of self-respect was shown by Prince Tuan, father of the heir apparent in making himself the patron of a body of cut-throats? What self-repect was shown by Prince Chtian as mllp.-vv governor In setting a price on the heads of foreigners 'sixty taels for the head of a man, fifty for the head of a woman and thirty for the head of a child?' "' Dr. .Martin further says: "The readkst road to ieace and order is ..he restoration of the young Emperor. As for his tvrttinical aunt, and her bloodstained clique no penalty can be too severe to inlllct oi them. When the Dowager and Prince Tuan put to death four ministers in the foreign board for the crime of pleading for iH-ce are the allies too severe if they insiton the exile of one and the execution of the other?"

MIGHT MEAN WITHDRAW

IF rnitTO JUCA TARIFF HILL IS ADJl'DUCn UNCONSTITUTIONAL. It Mlslit Cause tlte Nation to Gratify Popoeratlc I)eIrc by ItelinqiiiHUI UK Philippine Sovereignty. NEW YORK, Nov. IS. Representative George H. Ray, chairman of the House committee on judiciary, who was one of the leaders in the fight for the Forto Rican tariff bill. said, while in this city to-day, that until the test case brought to determine tho constitutionality of the Porto Rican tariff was decided by the United States Supreme Court there would be no tariff legislation by Congress for the Philippines. "That decision," he said, "will show us where we stand, and we can then proceed Intelligently. If the court sustains the Republican contention that Porto Rico is not a part of the United States, but territory belonging to the United States, and that, therefore, tho constitutional provision for uniform taxation throughout the United States does not apply to Porto Rico, of course the same will hold good with regard to tho Philippines. We can then frame a tariff bill for the Philippines which will provide the necessary revenue for the government of the Philippines on progressive lines,, and so afford the necessary protection to our own manufactures and labor." "What If the decision of the court should be that the Porto Rlcan tariff is unconstitutional, and that Porto Rico is a part of the United States?" "If such should be the decision of the court it might necessitate our having to give up the Philippines. We are bound to tho open-door policy in the Philippines. That means that the products of all nas. tiona can come into the Philippines on the same basis as our own. If we cannot raise a tariff against Philippine products coming Into the United States then our labor would be brought Into competition with the cheap labor of the Orient. If that condition should come about we might feel that our interest would demand our withdrawal from the Philippines." WIRELESS TELEPHONE. Successful Experiment Made with It In Northern Minnesota. MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. IS. An experiment In wireless telephoning, which was tried at Fowderhorn lake thi3 afternoon, proved a decided success, and may take the place of the old system of wires. The originator of the idea is J. C. Kelsey, who is in charge of the switchboard at the Northwestern Telephone Exchange Company's building, and with him were five other employes of the company. The method is a very simple one. On either side of the lake they strung a wir-3 about one hundred feet in length, the two being parallel. They were above the ground and fastened with grounding pins to insure better induction. An ordinary local telephone transmitter and receiver were attached to either wire. When tho transmitting circuit Is cut in It induces the current Into the receiving circuit and when the receiving circuit is cut In it Induces tha circuit Into the transmitting circuit. In this way the advantage of both circuits is secured without the use of wire, and as a result the conversation can be carried oi) much more easily and with better results. The wires to which the instruments were attached run parallel, and there were twe currents in operation all the time. The one going from one end of the wire to the other and the second flowing to its affinity, as it were, that Is the parallel wire. The use of the system is not confined to water. It is available on land, it' good grounding facilities can be secured. The experimenters say they could easily converse a distance of twenty miles, even with the crude instruments used to-day. TRIPLE DROWNING. Alawkan Waters Take .More Tribute, Two Women and One Man. SEATTLE, Wash., Nov. IS. A triple drowning is reported from Iletta lake, at the head of Hunters' bay, Alaska. The Dead. MRS.

The three persons were capsized Nov. 0 from a rowboat, in which they were making their way out to board the steamer Valencia, which they proposed taking for San Francisco. Mrs. Taylor's body was recovered. She was the wife of James Taylor, formerly of Marysville. O., one of the managers of the Pacific Steam Whaling Company's cannery, at Hunters' bay. Miss Baker, who was a daughter of Mrs. G. W. Baker, of Table Rock. Neo., has been a missionary to southwestern Alaska for ten years. SHOT FROM AMBUSH. Young Man of Pound Gap, Va., Fatally Wonnded hy Bandits. POUND GAP, Va., Nov. 18. As George Haddum, aged twenty-six, son of Dr. Mile Haddum, was passing through a ravine in the Cumberland mountains he was fired upon, two shots taking effect, inflicting fatal wounds. Haddum, when found, had crawled from the roadside and was unconscious from loss of blood. After regaining consciousness he said that he was riding along the road near the dark ravine above Rocky Fork, when suddenly he heard a snapping of brush a few rods from the roadside, and, turning, perceived three masked men, heavily armed. The firing began at once. He believes he knows one of the men. Ills physicians fear he cannot survive. He has a young wife, a bride of two weeks. PLENTY OF FIGHTING. (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) ties ot rice and stores, with ammunition, were destroyed. Fifty Filipinos were killed and many others wounded. The insurgents carried off their dead. The American losses were eleven privates and ono officer wounded and one Maccabebe killed. Lieutenant Frederick W. Alstaeter, of the engineers, who was captured by the insurgents in Luzon last September, has sent, with the permission of his captors, a letter to Manila asking for lood, money and clothing, which will be forwarded to him by a native runner. His health is broken and his release problematical. General MacArthur has gone to Sublg bay with Admiral Remey on the United States crusler Brooklyn for th purpose of examining the locality. It is probable that 1.HH marines now in Philippine waters wdl be used to relieve certain army posts, rendering the relieved soldiers available for other and more urgent duties. It Is understood that General MacArthur is considering the question of establishing more marines in the vicinity of Sublg. He is expected to return here to-morrow. Although news and commercial 'messages between Manila and points in America and Europe are not subject to censorship, all messages between the Philippines and the Orient are censored as heretofore. For the purpose of maintaining the existing raito of two Mexican silver dollars to one gold, arbitrarily fixed by General MacArthur last August, to b maintained until such time as th. Philippine Commission should consider tho date had arrived lor establishing a gold medium In tho Philippines. Mr. Henry C. Ide, of the commission, introduced u bill which has been passed by th commission providing for a charge of 10 ier cent, on all Mexican silver coin exported from the Philippines. The demand of China for Mexican currency has caused exportation, and threatened a derangement of business in the Philippines. The commission passed tho bill becauec.in view of existing circumstances. It seemed

obligatory to provide, so far as possibles by legislation a table and ample currency for the protection of business. ' Capt. Bowman H. McCalla. of the United States cruiser Newark, is undergoing trial by court-martial convened by Admiral Remy. He is charged with "irrational and bad management and lack of discipline" on board the cruiser. The trial is the result of a letter written by Lieutenant Commander Colwell to Admiral Remy. The witnesses are bein' examined on board the Newark, and the court's decision will be afficially sent, to Washington. The body of Baron Dumarias, the Frenchman who was killed by the insurgents while within their lines last year, where he had gone to Intercede with Aguinaldo for the release of the Spanish prisoners, has been recovered and burled in Manila.

GOOD ROADS CONVENTION. It Will Consider the Trninp Quentlon as Related to Highways. CHICAGO, Nov. 13. At the National Good Roads Improvement convention, which 'opens a week's meeting to-morrow, in Central Music Hall, an effort will be made to settle the tramp question by compelling vagrants throughout the country to work at the improvement of the highways of the different States. Resolutions are to be adopted bearing on the subject, a uniform bill for presentation to the Legislature. of the different States is to be drafted, and a committee to press the. matter before Congress will be named. In addition to the consideration of the tramp question, as applied to the Improvement of the roads, the convention will effect a national organization ot the different forces which have worked for highway improvement, and an era of unprecedented activity in internal improvements is looked for as a result of such action. The automobile, bike and driving clubs throughout the United States and all other clubs and organizations interested in the question will be amalgamated into one body, and the promoters of the national organization expect great results from the concentration of effort and power. EXPORTS FOR OCTOBER THEIR WOXDRniTL IXCHEASE OVER ALL PREVIOUS RECORDS. The Flsnren for tbe Past Ten Months Are Equally Amnalng Comparison Made nrlth Previous Years. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON, Nov. IS. October exports have broken all monthly records in the history of the commerce of the United States, and the ten months of 1900 ended with October' also breaking the record of exports for the corresponding period of preceding years, and give assurance that the calendar year 1000 will show the largest exports in the history of our foreign commerce. The total exports during the month of October, as shown by the records of the Treasury Bureau of Statistics, were $163,093,597, or practically double the exports of October, lSDi, when they were JS3.C53.121. The total for the ten. months ended with October is $1,191,775,205, or practically double that of .the ten months ended with October, 1S34. Exports exceeded Imports during the ten months ended with October by practically $500,000.000 or, to be exact, $1K9,G67,93G; while in the corresponding ten months of 1S94 imports exceeded exports by $S6,C63,CC9. The year 1000 will, for the first time in the history of our commerce, show an export of more than $100,000,000 , value . iu every, month of the j-ear, while for the first time a single month October, 1900 passes the $150,000,000 line, as already stated, $163,093,597, against the highest preceding record of $134,157,225, which was made in March last. Agriculture, mining and manufactures have Jointly contributed to this enormous Increase in our export business. The details of the tenth month of the year, October, have not yet been completed, but those for the nine months ended with September show that agricultural exports are $50,000,0u0 greater in 1500 than in 18$); manufactures, $CO,000.000 greater; products of the mine $7,000,000 In excess of the corresponding months of the preceding year, and products of the forest $5,000,000 greater than in the nine months of 1SJ1. It is especially in raw cotton and manufactured iron and steel, however, that the greatest growth is shown. Exports of cotton in the single month of October amounted to over $90.000.000. against $28,000,000 in October, im, $30,000,000 in October. 1898, and $32,000,000 In October, 1S97. Manufactures of Iron and steel show for the nine months ended with September (October details not yet being available), $97,313,060, against $76,509.205 in the corresponding month of 1893. $59,990,665 in the corresponding month of 1S98. and $45,693.384 in the corresponding month of 1897, having thus ' more than doubled in three years' time.

CONDITIONS IN HIAWAI

GOOD PROGRESS SHOWN IX HXPRES1DKXT DOLirs RR PORT. Race Im Xot Üyint; Out an Had Ileen Supposed Land Holding: Statistics Xeed as to Legislation. WASHINGTON, Nov. lS.-The decrease of the Hawaiian race has been steadily growing less rapid for the past several decades, especially the female population, according to the annual report of ex-Presl-dent Sanford B. Dole, Governor of Hawaii. The increase of part Hawaiians tends to keep down the nihnber of the pure Hawaiians. While the figures show race prosrress the census reports as to surviving children are discouraging. In both the censuses of 1S90 and 16 the pure Hawaiian lercentage of survivors was the lowest of all nationalities represented in the Islands. An encouraging outlook for the Hawaiians exists in the fact that out of 6.327 owners of real estate in 1S06 2,905 were pure . Hawaiians and 722 part Hawaiians. The facts are significant as showing the ownership of holdings by so large a number of pure Hawaiians and the evident tendency of the race to acquire homesteads. The ex-President reports that there is reason to expect that annexation is going to influence Hawaiian character very favorably through the changed conditions effected. Their ola dependence on their chiefs has ceased and they are forced to rely more on themselves, and their footing with the white men in the future will be equal. The political privileges they enjoy in common with other American citizens, he says, will tend to educate them in public affairs. The total valuation of real and personal property in Hawaii subject to ad valorem assessment In 1XO0 is $37,41d,5S4. The receipts from taxes are estimated at $1,341,650. The commerce of Hawaii Is shown for the period between Jan. 1 and June 14, 1900, as follows: Imports, $10,6S3,516; exports, $14,404,41mJ; customs revenues, $597,b'Jl. With the exception of the -production of sugar, rice, firewood, fertilizers and live stock and the promotion of irrigation the development of the natural resources of the Hawaiian islands is stated to have scarcely begun. Recommendations are submitted for legislation thoroughly revising the Hawaiian corporation laws in view of some deficiencies and questionable features in the same and new conditions since annexation; legislation for appointment of various commissioners for the protection of food fishes; providing for education of children unable to pass the required medical examinations; for irrigation legislation and for a general act covering municipal systems. The report says the present aggregate area of the public lands is approximately 1,772,713 acres, valued at $3,56y,io0. ON CZAR NICHOLAS.

SLIDING SCALE TARIFF Proposed in Germany as n Protection Against American Goods. BERLIN, Nov. 18. Count Kanitz, Dr. Lieber and other prominent members of the Reichstag have given notice of a bill to amend the tariff law by empowering a levy, under imperial decree and with the approval of the Bundesrath, of ad valorem duties on dutiable goods from countries where German goods are subjected to similar levies, provided that the terms of existing treaties are "not thereby violated. By the provisions of the bill additional duties may be levied in the same manner, up to 200 per cent, of the tariff law, of the ad valorem duty on goods from countries treating German ships or German goods less favorably than other nations, while duty-free goods, in similar circumstances, may be subjected to a duty not exceeding 40 per cent, of their value. The decree would cease at any time if the Reichstag withheld Its assent. The proposal has provoked a lively discussion in the press. While the signers do not include all the national Liberal and Centrist members, they do represent about half of the membership of the Reichstag, and it is highly probable that the bill will attract enough support from the other sections of the hou?e to insure a majority. One leading journal, commenting on the proposal, say-: that "it means, in a certain sense, a declaration of a tariff war against the United States." GERMAN INDUSTRIAL NOTES.

An address: headed "Reform Forces of the Country" has been issued by George F. Washburn, president of the Bryan Club of Massachusetts and the national committeeman of the People's, party, in which he says: "The campaign of 1900 was a-contest of conscience against capital. It was the grcates-t struggle for human rights since the days of Jackson or Lincoln. The re-election of McKinley was a victory for Imperialism and the trusts. But our grand reform movement will roll on to ultimate Victory. "It Is beyond the range of human probability that Bryan will again become the candidate of the Democratic party. But he can lead to victory a new party conducted on. safe and conservative, yet progressive, lines. Therefore, to maintain our present momentum a new party must be formed. We must have a complete reunion of reform forces. This can be accomplished by uniting the Bryan Democrats, Bryan Republicans, Populists and other smaller bodies to be led by the man of the hour, whoever he may be. I believe that had such a party been formed four years ago Bryan would have triumphed this lime. Accordingly I propose that nt an early1 date we have a conference of the parties referred to In the central part of the country for the purpose of effecting an Immediate understanding, that we may begin the organization of a new party."
