Those guilty of acts of treachery would be excluded from these benefit. (Jeneral Itotha appenrcd satisned with the conditions, and the armistice being arranjfd. he prxxHNNh-d to consult hi officers, a vast majority of whom accepted the terms. Ie Wet and Steyn both remained lrreconcilialde. They declined any terms, Ik'WVt adding that on his part the war had lecouje one of revenue, and he intended to do all the mischief he could. It Is probable that the original armistice of a week has been extended. It U Isdieved that the remainder of Caneral Hotha's officers have now been won around and that he Is likely to make formal submission to Iord Kitchener March 11, when hi force will surrender to Jen.

The instructions were communicated to other governments and IJussia was among the first to express approval. The United States has no secret al liance with any power, but commun icates to all powe.'.s all its suggestions concerning the Chinese situa tion.

FINISH IS INSIGHT

Indiana Legislature Xearing the End of Its Biennial Labors. THE LAST WORKING DAY All That Now Remain to Be Done I the Sig-ninsr of Some Bills and the nosing Ceremony. Something ot the Cost of the SixtySeeoud General Assembly ot Indiana. Indianapolis. March St. 7 his practically was the last working day of the tjd teneral assembly. From the time that the legislature bcaii to aemble at the usual hour this morning up until adjournment hour this afternoon, lioth houses were disorganized aud but little effort was made to secure action on the pending billa. Sleaker Art man yesterday announced that the scenes usually accompanying the dual adjournment of the house would '"be ouiitted" this session. The speaker meant at the book-throwing, the paper-wad tights, the jukes ami puns and witty nintrs and little reinaiks that possessed some personal sting would not be allowed today on the floor of the house. For the most part his word was respected, but toward the close of tlie day's work the representatives could no longer contain themselves, and at a late hour this afternoon It was apparent that some of the scenes that occurred at the end of the session two years ago would le repeati-d this year. On Monday night at ll! o'clock the senate and the house of the G2d general assembly will come to a final adjournment. Today an estimate of the cost of the session was made and It was found that the warrants issued from the office of the state auditor called for a total amounting to $?!.- 221.10. leaving a balance of 35,TOH.S of the $or.MJD appropriated to meet the expenses. Of these warrants is sued, nearly the full amounts have been paid by the treasurer, as very few of the employes hold their warrants longer than It takes them to go down the elevator from the session rooms to the treasurer's office. The expenses at the end of the term, everything included, will not Increase the total more than to $75,000. The state of Indiana, if the governor approves of the bill, will bear hereafter as its state banner thi United States flag. The presentation, of a bill a loptlng this emblem brought about a wordy war aud a display of oratorical pyrotechnics such as havs not been heard before in the session. When the bill was brought before the house Mr. l.ivls. the minority leader, rose in his seat arul said: "Xotwlth--:.Tr;:tMC;iloDiliTI,'j'n Dertr "bps 1 raised the flag over the clanking ' chains of human slaves in the Philippines, democratic love for the grand old banner is such that we of the minority iu this house gladly rote for this bill." The Democrats applauded. Mr. Scott of Montgomery brought a round of applause from the Republican side by saying: "We are glad to notice that the democrats have become so imbued with love of the flag. As we used to say in the army, ws had to give a large majority of them a h I of a thrashing before mey were Inspired with love." Mr. Alrhart. in a speech that proved him a man of prodigious lung power, took the floor iu turn to score tha Republicans for raising the flag "abovs the harem of the sultan of Sulu." "Whoop! Hooray!" shouted the Republican members as the meintsjr from Rooue continued his tirade. The discussion in a few minutes passed itself up to the speaker who, scoring Davis for creating th furor, ordered tne debate broken off. Governor Durbln has vetoed the bill that sought to give the commissioners of Dekalb county a salary of $40 a year. Some senators, in view of this gubernatorial action, surmised today that all the fee and salary bills passe! this session would meet with the same fate and that the measures, with the governor's veto attached, would be returned to the assembly on Monday too late for further action by the legis lature. Special bills have leen passed increasing the Income attached to of fices in Jasper. Lake aud Starke connties, and a bill has been passed to put the surveyor of Marion county on salary. This bill, it Is maintained, is drawn iu su-h a way that its appli cation is more general than special. It was said today also that the gov ernor will veto the bill putting county sheriffs and clerks ou salaries, 'independent of whether they collect fees enough to pay the salaries or not. Tha house today adopted a report from Its committee in which it was agreed that tha senate amendments to the Minturn primary election bill be concurred in. The amendments referred to are nothing short of a new bill the measure introduced by Senator Joss and substituted in the sen ate for the Minturn measure. The Joss bill, bearing the name and enacting clause of the Minturn bill, is not looked upon as any step toward primary reform at all. It is considered to be nothing short of a bill perpetuating ring politics, rather that abolishing It. Remonstrators Win. The county commissioners after a long consideration of the matter yesterday afternoon refused the application for a license to sell intoxicants in Centerville, and that remains one of the few dry towns in the county. The temperance people left much elated over their victory. A New Carriage Factorv. Philip Schneider, jr., and his father, Philip Schneider, will start a new carriage factory, to be known as Schneider's Carriage Factory. Thev will open up for the present on north eighth street in the room formerly

occupied by the Monarch bowling alley, and will engage in selling, manufacturing and refiairing vehicles.

It is learned ou reliable authority that Indiana is to have one or more St. Louis fair commissioners. It is tetiered JohnJF.Miller of Richmond wili be one of the commissioners. Muler is a native of Ohio, and has been one of Senator Hanna's supporters. It is said that tLe latter feels indebted to Miller for his work done inColunbus in defeating Ientz, the Democratic member of congress. I the above dispatch is true, it is quite an honor to Mr. Miller, at d one ell deserved. The position carries with it a salary of 5,U00 a year. IN COURT. Some Cases Decided This Morning The Murder Trial Monday. The Cantwell case came up yester day and was quite interesting. This is the casein which Kay Shiveley and Paul Comstock were appointed to defend the accused, and the young members of the bar aequitted them selves in a shape to surprise even those who knew them well. That they showed ability is remarked by all who heard their defense Cantwell was found guilty, however, and was sent up for thirty days. The prosecuting witness also did not seem to want toappear, and was sent for and fined 15 and costs. Cant well and Engelbert were both in the calaboose drunk, and had their shoes otT. Cantwell, when he left, put on Englebert's shoes and wore them away, goinr to the Hotel Akron, where he boarded. Knglebert passing there saw him with them on. Before tbat.however, he had made complaint to the tRh'e supposing Cantwell had stolen the shoes. He tackled Cantwell who at first denied that the shoes were En glebert's but finally the two started off together to take a drink, and met the policeman to whom Englebert had complained. The result was that Cantwell was arrested, and sentenced above stated. "Thus," says Judpfe; lW-"wa gu tli" vtrtr"f f -,-- rew vrd there was never a vt-iuiwi rendered that grave greater satisfac tion. Bond is satisfied, the attorneys fer the defense are satistied, the. law is satisfied, the court is sati.G d, and the defendant was so well satislied that he a-ked to oe sentenced at once so he could begin his time and jetout."

His daughter, Mrs. Bart Johnson, and her family were at his bedside, leaving their house, valued at $5,tHH, a half u iie east of the village, unattended. About o'clock last evening the house was found to be on tire, and before anything could be done was destroyed.

E FAR EAST

Aes of the World .May

Ajjain lie lu rued Toward the Orient. CZAil UNDER SUSPICION The United States and (.reat Britain Enter I'pott ati Undertaking to Cheek Russia's Designs. 1 The Czar's Mane hnrian Plans Are Xo Longer Acceptable to the Great Powers. London, March 9. A crisis has arisen in far Eaatern affairs which in the opinion of the British government is graver almost than the trouble which originally turned tha eyes of the world toward th OriouC Iu this crisis secret negotiations are going ou between the failed States aud Great Uriiuiu with a view to thwartiug what both goveruuieuts appear to consider a determined attempt ou the part of l(U.ia lo plain herself permanently iu uiic of the richest Uacls of tho Chinese empire. The conference held Wednesday betweu United States Ambassador Cbvate aud Lord ljusduwuc, the foreign secretary, had nothing to do wltU the Xicaraguan caual affair. To quota frciu a iSriiish official, "The -Nicaragua coutroversy is a minor matter compareu with the preseut (situation." What Mr. Choate did was to revel ve front Lord Lansdowne an important inwc sage declaring that Ureat Britain was not satistied with Russia's declaration regarding Manchuria, as delivered to S'r Charles Stewart Scott, British ambassador at tt. Petersburg, by Count Lainsdorf. and askiug the United States "if they were prepared to take Joint action of such a decisive nature that Hussia would have no alteruatAa but to recede from her position. Almost simultaneously, it Is understood, the United State jiovernmeut instructed the various ambassadors to take similar stes. The answer of Secretary Hay has apparently not yet been received in Lioudon. although the fact that almost concurrent instructions were Issued from Washington is taken here to be i sufficient guarantee that Russia's action in Manchuria will not be tolerated by the United States. Japan Is relied upon to take a line of harmony with the United States aud Great Britain. Germany, in spite of the Anglo-German compact. Is regarded as rather doubtful, owing to Emperor William's friendship for the czar. France, of course, will side with her ally. The significance of the present phase can only be appreciated by those cognizant of the lethargic attitude of the British government hitherto recarditis Itusuiau action Id CMna. changed. What a week or two aifo was pronounced only in line with Russia's usual policy is now termed "a grave aud serious state of affairs." Lord Lausdowue Is using every effort j to bring the powers Into line, iu order to present to Itussia such a meuaciug front that, without any ambiguity regarding temporary or other occupation, she may giva up all designs upon Manchuria. What prompts the British foreign office to take such an alarmist view of circumstances usually looked upon as fatalistic sequences, is the apprehension that Uttssia, having held her own in spite of the protest of the ministers of the powers to the Chinese government, and having 'put herself on record in the reply to Sir Charles Scott as determined on at least a temporary occupation of Manchuria, will refuse to back down. That she must do so. Lord Lausdowne considers vital, both for the future of China and for tlie continued existence of the concert of powers. Count Lamsdorf's reply to Sir Charles Scott is considered qnite unsatisfactory. "If such exenses are accepted by the powers," 6ald a British official last evening, "there will be nothing to prevent the immediate partition of China, for with almost exactly the same verbiage any European power could Justify the occupation of other provinces. Upon the degree of support afforded the movement by Germany and Japan depeuds the result of what Is understood to b the almost synchronous action of Washington and Loudon. Ihe whole affair Is guarded with the greatest secrecy; and it was not ap parently without motive that a special dispatch was allowed to go from London erroneously announcing that the negotiations going on between Mr. Choate and Lord Lausdowne related to the Nicaragua affair. A feeling perI iBurn J 11 lit" I cir It-w tin r- iiiai ji mint , . , . ... Lamsdorr s explanation Is accepted by the powers. Russia will be accorded a fre hand to take all she pleases, and the door will tie opened to any other power aggressive enough to step In and annex Chinese provinces under the pretext of temporary occupation.
