Country Around Shili-Nan Im In Hilfe for Foreigner. PEKING. March 27. The ministers of the powers do not consider that the murder of lie v. J. Stonehouse, of the London Missionary Society, who wa kided by Chinese brigands fourteen miles east of Tien-Tsin recently, affects the Chinese situation politically. They are perfectly aware that the country around Shih-Nan is infested with robbers, who are naturally hostile to foreigners, and would take such an opportunity as In the present case to kill one. Mr. Rockhill, the special commissioner of the United States, pays he does not consider It safe for people to travel alone In the country districts, and guards cannot be supplied to the missionaries. Consequently, those going Into the country take considerable risk. The district In which the murder was committed Is policed by foreign troops. Therefore. China is not officially responsible. The foreign troops practically gutted Shih-Nan of everything worth taking, and the people there are Indignant against all foreigners. The missionaries attribute the murder to the leniency of the powers toward China, which makes them seem to be afraid. The ministers have many different views on the Indemnity question, which may result in considerable delay In the negotiations on that subject. iiiin:iu:i) i:v ;i:kmy. Indemnity AeKotintlonn Ielayed Chlnme Wnnt American to Stay. LONDON. March 28. "The indemnity negotiations are hindered,' says the Peking correspondent of the Morning Post, "because Germany insists in forcing a loan on China to meet the foreign .demands. Sir Robert Hart's scheme of Internal taxation would occupy fifty years. "A conflict Is believed to be imminent between the French and Chinese troops at IIwal-Lu. Li Hung Chang had ordered the IThinese general to withdraw from the province of Chl-Li. and the general replied that he would withdraw after he had swept the foreigners out. Thereupon General Hailloud. the French commander, left Peking to-day, with permission to light if his force should be attacked. This permission i.s almost equivalent to positive orders. "The French have l.D men at Hwai-Lu and the Chinese are reported to number TU.O'O. Victory would give the French command of the main road to the province of Shan-Su by a better route than Fo-Ping, which the Germans have secured. "A remarkable testimony was borne to the excellency of American municipal government in Peking to-day when many thousands of Chinese assembled in tho American quarter and presented a petition begging the Americans to remain in Peking." r"vihti'a i.i.y nitornnns. It iiKftlni'M I'ny Tribute to American Itenly to General Chaffee. PEKING. March 27. The bodies of six American marines who were killed during the siege of the legations and buried in the Kussian legation were removed to-day for shipment to the United States. In addition to the American troops in Peking, the Monoe-acy, Commander F. M. Wise, sent a detachment of marines to be present at the disinterment. The courtesy of the Russians deeply moved all the Americans. Two Russian companies participated in all the ceremonies. The Russians guarded the disintered bodies all night and rendered all the Russian military honors to the dead. General Chaffee wrote to M. Le Giers nn expression of his feelings and of the feelings of the officers and men of the entire command. M. De Giers, referring to the incident said: "It was only natural. The Russians and Americans fought side by fide during the fiegc and were virtually brothers."

The Japanese cruiser Iwate, recently constructed at the Riswick works, left Devonport for the far Rast early Tuesday morning, instead of departing next Saturday, as was originally intended. JShe shipped her amunitiou while she was coaling, and v hastily that portions were left behind.

LONDON, March 27. The statement published in the United States by a new agency to the effect that Mr. Matsul. first secretary of the Japanese legation here and charge d'affaires during the minister's absence, did not make the assertions attributed to him In an interview with a representative of the Associated Press Monday last, is incorrect. Mr. Matsui was correctly reported in every respect. STILL NO SENATOES. XcIiriiHkn LeKlMlutnre Probably AVI II Adjourn Without nn Election. LINCOLN, March 27. An unavailing conference of Republicans of the Legislature and an equally futile effort to hold a caucus under a new call marked the closing struggle In the Nebraska senatorial canvass. Indications now are that the eleadlock will outlast the session, the last executive Jay of which is to-morrow, and that Nebraska, for two years, will not be represented in the upper house of Congress, barring, of course, the possibility of an extra session of the Legislature, which !s remote, or appointments of Governor Dietrichs. . At 8 o'clock, under a call for a conference on the long term, forty-five members assembled in the Senate chamber to discuss the situation on the long term. A proposition to ballot for live hours when the joint convention met at noon to-morrow -was decided adversely, and, without making progress In any way the conference adjourned, the members going to the Llndell Hotel, where the old caucus for the long term asain assembled. Ralloting. with practically no change from previous nights, continued until 1 o'clock this (Thursday! morning, when adjournment was taken until 8 o'clock Thursday morning. Pressure, both local and from New York and Washington, was being brought to bear to induce some of the candidates to withdraw, but thus far without effect. The ballot liw the Legislature to-day In the Nebraska Legislature yesterday showeul little change1. Senator Arends, who has been voting for I). K.

'We will keep Sally here. We may need to eat her.' Wo both laughed heartily at the jest and Sally stayed, but on tho day we welcomed Chaffee's brave boys all that stood between us and starvation was some 'Silly' sc. up and a few loaves of coarse whe-aten bread."

A systematic effort is now being made to boom the prune as an article of dit and ther Is no doubt that the prune fad if it can be called a fad Is moro meritorious than most food fads. Tin? prunes 1 relished by most everybody, and will not hurt anybody. Heretofore the Imported French prune has had the ead on the market, but now the Cilitornla article is surpassing it in quality and lusciousne-ss. and very materially also in cheapness. Obituary.

Y., March T7.-A train on th2 Delaware, Lackawanna & Western ran into a washout three miks south of Norwich last night. The railroad embankment had disappeared, leaving the track in position, and the train and rails sank into a hole eight feet deep. The passengers escaped with only a wetting. The train stands in the water, reaching nearly to the top of the windows. At Sherburne the Chenango river was higher than it had been since 1S64, and the wrecking train sent out lrom this city ran into a culvert that had been washed out. Willfara Yakey, the fireman, was badly scalded, but w.'ll recover. The engine and two cars left the track and are submerged. The caboose was not derailed and the workmen escaped. Two large culverts and considerable track is washed away at Sherburne, and it will be several days after the water subsides before repairs can be made. ' The Genesee valley is inundated in many places, the' Genesee and its tributaries not having been so full for live years. A rise of fifteen inches in twelve hours is an indication of the rapid rate at which the water is flowing into Rochester and its adjacent villages. Much raüroatl property is airetidy under the water. All the people at Cordtland are alarmed at the rush of water there, as the Hood threatens to sweep away houses in the lower part of the city. A similar state of affairs existed at Ringhamton early today, where manufacturing plants were forced to suspend. Watertown reported to-night that the Slack river was getting up to near the highest water mark, with no signs of a suosidence, and later to-night Eaton, in Madison county, was in danger of a calamity through the threatened collapse of a reservoir which supplies the village with its drinking water. FLOODS IX 3IICIIIGAX. Grand lilver Stationary nt Grand Itapids Lowell I'nder YVnter. GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., March 27. Grand river Is stationary to-night and a further rise Is not looked for unless a heavy rain should follow the cool wave. The river is 13.6 inches above normal and a rise of fourteen Inches in the past twenty-four hours. The manufacturing plants along the -river front are closed, the basements being flooded, in some instances the first lloor. Many residents have had to vacate homes on the west side of the river by reason of high water. The Pere Marquette Railroad bridge still resists the Hood, but use of it has been abandoned. The part ot the island on which the city lighting plant is located is under water and a foot further rise of the river would force the lighting plant to close down. The river above and below the city in many places Is nearly two miles wide, flooding a large area of farm lands. Late this afternoon two dams on Dixon creek, a tributary to Flat river, went out, releasing a big volume of water and Hooding the city of Relding. The safety of the lam on Flat river, above the city, is feared. The released Hood poured through Flat river into the Grand, and is being felt in this city now, and the river is again rising at the rate of an inch an hour. The dam on the Huron river, at Yp.-ilanti, went out to-night, causing damage of $15,000 to the Y'psilanti l'aper Company. A dispatch from Niles to-mght states that the St. Joseph river is on a rampage and: the Jam ai that place Is likely to go out before morning. The apron has alreatly been torn away. Lowell is Hooded and in darkness to-night, the lighting plant there being shut down by reason of the elam being torn away. At Ionia the situation is not much Improved anil portions of the city are still inundated. ST. JOSEPH, Mich..

This is a great increase. Nearly all came from Wietze, on the Aller. The German Imperial Insurance department reports that 17,(X,000 persons are now insured in Germany. Last year 454,431 accidents occurred and the sum of M5,KJ5.C:I2 marks was paid out for claims, as against 7S,tbO,6;2 marks in IStf). The Portuguese government has lssuetl a decree closing the Jesuit Church on the Rua Quelhas and the church of the Franciscan missionaries on the Rua Patrocinio in Lisbon, and also the church of the German Eenedictines at Aveiro. The Rerlin Tageblatt's St. Petersburg correspondent says the recall of Count Muravieff-Amoursky, Russian military attache at Paris, has been ordered and that the Russian ambassador to France, Prince Ouroussotf, will probably soon be recalled. Refore leaving Rerlin for German East Africa, Countess Von Goetzen, wife of Major Count Von Goetzen. the newly appointee! governor of Darms-Salaam, was received by Empress Augusta Victoria, with whom she had an audience lasting an hour. William Damian, who was arrested by the Eavarian police, at Ludwigschafen, on the charge of having committed crimes similar to those of "Jack the Ripper," murdered two girls several years ago. He has been proven clearly guilty of a number or' re cent eutrages. The White Star line steamer Majestic, which left New York March 20, arrived at Queenstown yesterday. John J. Daly, the mayor of Limerick, who was among the passengers, seemed to expect to be arresteel. because of his speeches in the l.'niteel States, but the authorities had no intention of taking any notice of his utterances. Prior to the opening of the Reichsrath, at Vienna, yesterday, two a"rmy ettlicers approached a deputy named Klofac and demanded explanations regarding recent' remarks made by him considered insulting to the army. Klofac referred the officers to some of his friends, who subsoouently declineel to afforel thorn any satisfaction. The weather In Europe continues as bitter as ever. There is frost and snow everywhere. Seven to ten degrees of frost were registered in the London suburbs early yesterday mtrning. There is consicierable thickness of ice em the lakes. Heavy snowstorms have swept over northern .France and there are several inches of snow on the streets of Paris. Among the safeguards to be utilized hereafter for the satety of Emperor William wr.en he appears in public will bo four bodyguards on bicycles accompanying the carriage.

The bubonic plague situation at Cape Town Is assuming a graver aspect. The proportion of European victims of the liseast Is increasing. Among those attacked, yesterday, were three soldiers belonging to diffe'Tent corps. A native employed in the navy died at Slmonstown. Light other cd-or-d cases and two of Europeans are reported from there and one native has died. In the course of the debate em the budget at Calcutta, yestcrilay Lord Curzon of Kedleston. viceroy of India, in .1 fTrcibi? speech, spoke of the necessity of reform in n.any direct Sens, and congratulated the Council on the surplus alter a year of famine. He paid the currency policy had gained strength and stability and that tlv; l ivens had ceased to croak concerning it. ' The Paris Journal des Debats. commenting on the Anglo-American Nicaraguan correspondence, says: "What is especially brought out in it ia Dili political factur

the uncompromising attitude of the United States toward England, which scorns to exclude any future collaboration, and even creates a feeling that causes of conflicts between them will always be very difficult to remove." At tho spring meeting of the Institute of Naval Architects, in London, the Earl of Glasgow presiding, the principal paper road Wis that of Pref. John Harvard Riles, entitled "Ten Years of Naval Construction in the Fnited States." It was almost wholly statistical, but complimentary to American ship designers and builders and their continual improvement in the construction of armor and armament. It Is asserted in reliable ejuarters at Rerlin that the German Foreign Office has pointed out to Count Von Ruelow, the imperial chancellor, that the rumors of an in

te tided big raise in Gorman agricultural duties have already unfavorably influenced Germany's fore'sn relations. The Vossische Zeltung warns the Emperor not to jeopardize Germany's political friendship in order to gain the good will of the "insatiable German Agrarians." The Interparliamentary committee of the Swedish Riksdag has decided to propose to the committee of the Norwegian Parliament, at Christiania.

General Von Werder, who left Rerlin Feb. 2, charged by Emperor William with a special mission to Lmperor Nicholas, has returned and made a full report to th; Kaiser of the result of the mission. When General Werder left Reriin it was asserted hat Emperor William had instructeel him to the effect that if. in the course of his stay in St. Petersburg, his conversation with the Czar should turn that way, ho might explain the actual state of Ang'.oGerman relations and the motives of Emperor William for his conduct during his recent visit to England. The Newfoundland Cabinet has received a disnatch from Mr. Chamberlain, the Rritish colonial secretary, announcing that a lobster modus vivendi respecting the French shore has been concluded with France, to be in force after March 27, until Dec. 31, 1101, thus removing ali fear of conflict during the interim. This fact is evidence of the willingness of the French government to adopt a conciliatory policy pending the final adjustment. Tne colonial Legislature passed a bill, last month, giving effect to this convention, if the renewal were arrangeel. A bill has been introduced in the Prussian Diet, presumably at the suggestion of Emperor William, directed against the misuse of alcohol. Count Douglass, an Intimate friend of the Kaiser, is the author of the measure, which is very stringent. It forbids the sale of alcoholic preparations containing fusel oil; prohibiting also the sale of intoxicating beverages to persons under sixteen years of age, to persons known to be habitual drunkards and to persons already under the Influence of liquor. No intoxicating beverages are to be sold before 7 o'clock in the morning. In depots and public oftlces charts must be displayed showing the Injurious effects of alcohol.

If tlicv only could. manv rich men would erase the V in wealth and write II in its place, and fo charge wealth into health. U's the saddest thing about riches that in in acquiring thein men often ruin their health and at their prime are doomed to live "perked up in a glistering grief and wear a golden sorrow. The tremble is eenerally with the stomach. In the ,rodi for riches there's been no time for regularity, no consider ation of right fooel. ine Komata .u other organs of digestion and nutrition become diseased and then begins the bitter and varied sufferings of the man with " stomach trouble." Yet this condition can be cured. The stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition, can be restored to a normal condition of sound health. Thousands testify that Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discover-, strengthens the stomach, nourishes the nerves and purifies the blood, that it breaks the bonds of the dyspeptic, and makes him a healthy, häppy man. No alcohol whisky or other intoxicant is contained in "Golden Medical Discover'. " I was a sufferer from what the doctors called indigestion, but after trving several eminent physicians failed to get a cure," writes Mr.Frank Mericle, P. O. Eox 473. Independence, Jackson Co., Mo. " Some of my symptoms were soreness in pit of stomach, fullness, tired feeling, constipation; some times soreness would extend to bowels. Some one recommended me to take Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, which I did. and after taking only a few bottles of 4 Discovery and your 'Pleasant Pellets can say I derived mere benefit from them than trom any other medicine I ever tried. I te.can to paiu in flesh from the start. Have recommended it to others and will continue to do so. Dr. Pierce's Tleasant Pellets do not become a necessity to the system they have relieved of accumulations and obstructions. AGUINALDO A PRISONER. (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGK.) and other northern provinces of the island of Luzon. nnito or Tim n.ir. Ilrlef Sketch of Con. Frederick Fan7 Mton, the (inllnnt Kiinnn. Gen. Frederick Funston, who has made for himself a place in history by his heroic charge at Manila and Caloocan, his swimming of rivers under fire and has capture of Agulnaldo, has had an mazlngly adventurous career. From the day he left Lawrence University, in the Sunflower State, fifteen years ago or thereabouts, Funston has been at one time or another reporter, editor, botanist, explorer, trapper, insurgent and soldier. He has known the two greatest extremes of living in torrid heat and frigid cold. He has tramped Alaska in snowshoes in a temperature of 70 degrees below zero, and has slept on the turning sands of Death Valley. Possessed of the same wiry endurance as the broncho of the plains, Funston never knew fatigue and never knew such a thing as failure. General Funston is a direct descendant of Daniel lioone. which may in a measure account for his adventurous spirit. He was born In North Carlisle, O., Nov. i, 1JC5. Three years later his parents moved to Kansas. He left the farm on Deer creek. In Allen county, Kansas, about llfteen years ago. Too restltss by nature to remain long in any one place, after a twoyears' stay at Lawrence University he decided he had e'.ough schooling to warrant his getting along In the world. So he started to hunt up a job. Gifted as a rpeaker and writer, he aspired to newspaper work. One day he happened in Fort Smith. Ark., and applied for a position on the Tribune of that city. There was to be a convention at Little Hock and the editor had to go. He gave the aspirant a chance to run the paper, and Funston took hold, and the next day there was a double-leaded editorial stating that the Tribune had supported tht Democrats of Arkansas and Pulaski county in the past in spite of their blunuers. but that now its p-itience was exhausted. Henceforth it would deal out Republican doctrine. Well, that editorial "shook the town." The editor lost no time in returning, and when he got home the young man lrom Kansas wa3 without a job. During the next few years he joined several expeditions organized by the government for scientific purposes. It was such an expedition that led him to Death valley, and later to the Alaskan coast to gather specimens of Its llora. He went alone, lived with the Indians, cultivated a taste for strawberries smothered in walrus oil, learned the trick of riding the surf erect in aVquivering kyack and incidentally gathered the iinest collection of Alaskan flora ever sent to Washington. The next summer he penetrated the Interior of Klondikeland, lived there eighteen months, slept outdoors most of the time and made firstclass studies of the aurora borealis while traversing several thousand miles of unexplored country. Along in 1S03 Colonel Funston decided that, while all these things did offer a little sport and recreation, yet the excitement was not quite up to his expectations. He went to Cuba, saw General Garcia, engaged as an Insurgent and fought the Spaniards. Ina short time he was given charge of the artillery of the patriots. He fought in scores of engagements with such vigor that the exploits of El Inglese, as he came to be nicknamed, became known of every Spaniard. He was the friend not only of Garcia, but of Quint in Handera, Jesus Rabl, Gomez and the other famous chiefs. Uultimately captured by the Spaniards, he was sent back to this country on parole. When the war broke out he tendered his services to Governor Ieedy, of Kansas, who promptly made him colonel of the Twentieth Kansas Regiment. Since then his remarkable career in the Philippines Is fresh in the memory of all readers of current events. Colonel Funston is small of stature but sturdy of build. The adventurous life he led for a dozen years has left him still a gentleman. The worth of this veteran of Cubaa campaigns was not overmeasured when Governor Leedy gave him bis commission. Everybody who knew anything of Funston knew'he would distinguish himself if ever he was Kiven the opportunity. Hi exploits in the Philippines demonstrate how well his friends understood the man. . An to "To 111 my Atkins. W. L. Alden's Letter. Mr. Meredith dislikes the name of Tommy Atkins, as applied to the British soldier, and in a poem which he has Just published, says that it is "base to the ar as an ass's bray." Why it should be an insult to a soldier to refer to him as Tommy, or as Mr. Atkins, is a mystery that perhaps Mr. Meredith will deign to explain. Perhaps it would, in Mr. Meredith's opinion, be much nicer if we were to call the Rritish soldier "Elsley Vavasour," which, according to Kingsley, is a very beautiful and aristocratic name. The War Office is responsible for describing the soldier as "Atkins." just as the legal profession is responsible for calling occasional Innocent Englishmen "John Doe" or "Richard Roe." "Tommy" himself has not the slightest objection to his nickname, and will feel no gratitude to Mr. Meredith, even were he ever to hear of the latter's efforts in his behalf. However, Mr. Meredith cannot roll back the ages, and that were on the whole an easier task than the abolition of the name "Tommy Atkins." The men who use it have quite as hih an estimation of the soldier as has Mr. Meredith, and with them it is practically a name of endearment. rhillppine ft 11 d "Sennrd'n Folly. Boston Journal. Spain's title to the Ust of the Philippine islands was extinguished on Saturday in Washington by the payment to the Spanish minister of JIOo.Cmi.

A New York woman who likes elaborate handwork on her table linen is having a tablecloth made which will break the records of drawn-work done In this part of the country. It is a cloth for a banquet table one which will seat at lea.t thirty people and there will bo, when it is completed, one and one-eighth miles of drawn work on it. This is very wide, and there are several rows of it. Four skilled workers are busy on it constantly, and they have been working for three weeks, and it will probably take them a month more. The work is all of the finest, done with No. 80 thread. One woman drawing threads for a whole day will only provide sutllciei.t work for the workers for another day.

The Louisiana Historical Society suggests to the mayor that 1 'resident McKinley b given a reception on his visit lure at the old Cabildo, opposite Jackson Square, now the Supreme Court building; and the society has secured permission from the Supreme Court to use for the proposed reception the very room in which the transfer of Louisiana to the United Stntes took place nearly a century ago. A coincidence of the President's visit Is that it Mill occur on the anniversary of the signing of the treaty at Paris, by which Napoleon transferred Louisiana to the United States. No President has ever visited New Orleans while holding that ortiee. although several, Grant and Cleveland among them, have visited the city after their terms had expired.
