London, March 9. — A crisis has
arisen in far eastern affairs, which,
in flic (•pinion of the British govern
ment, is graver almost than the
troubles which originally turned the
eyes of the world toward the Orient.
In this crisis negotiations are going
on between the I'nited States and
Great Britain with a view to thwart
ing' what both governments appear to
consider a determined attempt 011
the part of liussia to plant herself
permanently in one of the richest
tracts of the Chinese empire.
The conference held Wednesday be
tween l : nited States Ambassador
< hoate and Lord Lansdowne, the
foreign secretary, had nothing to do
with the Xiearaguan canal affair. To
cp.iote from a British official, "the
Nicaragua controversy is a minor
matter compared with the present
situation." What Mr. ('hoate did
was to receive from Lord Lansdowne
an important message declaring that
Great Britain was not satisfied with
Russia's declaration regarding Man
churia. as delivered to Sir Charles
iScott, British ambassador at St. Pet
ersburg-. by Count Latnsdorf, and ask
ing the I'nited States if it is prepared
to take joint action of such a decisive
nature that Russia would have no
alternative but to recede from her
position.
Almost simultaneously the United
States government instructed its vari
ous ambassadors to take similar
steps.
The answer of Secretary Hay has
apparently not yet been received in
London, although the fact that al
most concurrent instructions were is
sued from Washington is taken here
to be a sufficient guarantee that Rus
sia's action in Manchuria ■will not be
tolerated by the I'nited States.
Japan is relied upon to take a line
in harmony with the United States
and Great Britain.
Germany, in spite of the Anglo-Ger
man 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 hitherto leth
argic attitude of the British govern
ment regarding Russian action in
China. Within the last few days all
this has changed. What a week or
two ago was pronounced only in line
with Russia's usual policy is now
termed "a grave and serious state of
affairs."
Lord Lansdowne is using- every ef
fort to bring the powers into line, in
order to present to Russia such a
menacing front that, without any
ambiguity regarding temporary or
other occupation, she may give 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 appre
hension that having held her
own in spite of the protest of the
ministers of the powers to the Chi
nese government, and having put her
self on record as determined on at
least a temporary occupation of Man
churia. will refuse to "back down.
That she must do so Lord Lans
downe considers vital both for the
future of China and for the contin
ued existence of the concert of pow
ers.
A feeling pervades inner circles
here that if Count Lamsdorf's expla
nation is accepted by the powers,
Russia will be accorded a free hand
to take all she pleases, and the door
will be opened to aii,v other power
aggressive enough to step in and an
nex Chinese provinces, under the
pretext of temporary occupation.
Berlin, March !>.—The German
press believes that Russia's assuran
ces regarding Manchuria to Sir
Charles Scott are insincere and in
tended to blind the world.
The National Zeitung frankly as
serts that this 1s their object.
"Emperor Kwang Su opposes the
Russo-C'hinese agreement as to Man
churia,"' says the I'ekin correspon
dent, of the Daily Express, "and has
instructed Li Hung Chang to refer
Russia to the other powers."
Liu Kun Yi, the viceroy of Nankin,
has appealed to Great Britain, Japan
and the 1 nited States, according to
the Shanghai correspondent, of the
Daily Express, to assist China to re
sist Russia's designs in Manchuria.

A Hlot at San Juan.
San Juan, P. R., March 9.—A riot
occurred here Thursday. At 6p. m.
five artillerymen and a corporal of
artillery, named Hiseoek, left their
guard post without orders and
charged across the plaza into a street
in which a mob had assembled. The
soldiers fired a volley into the air,
dispersed the ;nob and rescued School
Superintendent Armstrong, who was
besieged by the mob in a house. For
hours previous to the rescue of Arm
strong - the city had been overrun by
a riotous crowd of 1,500 persons, who
nhouted "Down with the Americans"
4»nd other similar cries.
HAWAII'S LEGISLATURE.
Hold* It* Nc«»lonh In liic Conner Home

Can Xn Ik lCngll*li.
Honolulu, March 1, via San Fran
cisco. March s. -The first territorial
legislature of Hawaii began its ses
sions in Honolulu, February 20, and
has been in session since.
J. A. Akina, independent, a Hawaii
an-Chinese member from the island
of Kauai, was elected speaker o f
the house, and Nicholas Russell, of
Hawaii, a white man, was chosen
president of the senate.
With both houses in control of the
independent home rule party and
containing a majority of native
llawaiians, the legislature has al
ready been the scene of some re
markable proceedings and the end of
the session promises to see many
very radical measures adopted,
among those to which the controlling
party is committed being a liquor dis
pensary law. a taxation system that
will I>>» a combination of single ti\
and income tax doctrines, an election
law based on proportionate represen
tation, and a law excluding from the
territory all persons who may arr've
here afflicted with consumption or
leprosy.
The question of languages is an
other source of trouble. The or
ganic act says that all proceedings of
the legislature shall be conducted in
the English language. Half of the
members cannot speak English, an.l
Hawaiian interpreters have been em
ployed in both houses. It is the
opinion of some lawyers that this
will invalidate all proceedings, and
this matter will come before the
courts when some laws have been
passed.
Chief Justice Frear and Gov. Dole,
who were members - >f the commission
that adopted the rule in question,
have expressed the opinion that it
intended to provide that no language
but English should be spoken. The
independents claim that laws and
resolutions, etc., shall be in English.
Every measure and every speech is
being given in both English and
Hawaiian.
The house meets in the throne
room of the old palace building, now
occupied by government officials. The
speaker's chair is the former throne
of Hawaiian inonarchs.
The steamship Zealandia has ar
rived here with 709 Porto Ricans
from Port Los Angeles. Three of
the immigrants died on the way. The
immigrants are being sent in steam
ers to various plantations. It is re
ported that the Zealandia is 10 make
several trips as a carrier of Porto
Ricans, ami that at least 5,000 more
will be brought here by her in the
near future.
The Inter-Island Telegraph Co. has
given formal notice of the opening
for business of the wireless tele
grphy system between Honolulu and
the island of Maui.

Glover, a wealthy resident of Cutch

in the supreme court of Suffolk coun
ty on the charge of forging a will
purporting to Tie that of her father.
Glover was sentenced to four years
and four months' imprisonment. He

sentence upon him. The older (Ho

probate as the will of his father a
document which gave him practically
all of his father's estate, the paper
being dated 1890.
The stationer who manufactured
the paper on which the alleged will
was written testified that the paper
was not manufactured until 1897, and
upon this evidence Glover was con

WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY.
Ripert» ol Agricultural llc|»urlment
<1 tiin to lla%e llevl*ed a Syitcni tliat
I* Almost Perfect,
Washington, March 8. —Since last
autumn the navy department has sus
pended the experiments in the em
ployment of wireless telegraphy as a
means of communication between
naval vessels and between vessels and
the shore. I'JI to this time none of
the Warships have been equipped
wiili a permanent plant. While it,
may be true that Marconi, who is in
the I'nited States, may, while here,
communicate to the navy department
some proposition looking to the in
stallation of his own system of teleg
raphy on our naval vessels, the navy
department has not yet engaged him.
Rear Admiral Bradford, the chief
of the equipment bureau, which
naturally would install any such
means of communication, has had
conferences with some of the most
eminent electricians in the United
States as to the availability of the
wireless telegraph for naval use. but
so fat - nothing like the ideal system
has been found.
The latest proposition lias been
broached by the department of agri
culture. Secretary Wilson, bearing
that the navy was easting about for
a serviceable system of telegraphy,
| has written Admiral Bradford to
notify him that the agricultural de
partment has been experimenting for
some time with wireless telegraphy
and has attained remarkable results.
His experts assert with the greatest,
posit iveness that they have evolved
a system radically different from
Marconi's and of far greater effi
ciency. For obvious reasons the de
tails of the process are kept secret,
but it is probable that within a short
time a practical exhibition will be
made 011 board of a naval vessel.
The bureau of equipment has a
considerable sum at its disposal to
cover the expenses of installing all
kinds of electrical appliances, aside
from those connected with the me
chanical department of flu- ship, and
when Secretary Long gives the order
a part of this will be spent in trying
Secretary Wilson's experts' device.
The outcome will be watched with
the greatest interest by all naval
men. particularly in view of the an
nouncement that not only Great Brit
ain but Germany and the other Euro
! pean maritime powers already have
1 ordered the installation of wireless
j plants in their navies.
REFUSED TO BE BRIBED.
Navy lard Official* Cause tlic A ire it
ol an Alleged ltl*lione»t Contractor.
New York, March 8. —I>. C. Ander
son. proprietor of the Jefferson brass
works, of Brooklyn, was arrested
j yesterday 011 an indictment handed
down by the federal grand jury,
charging him, on two counts, with at
tempting to bribe officials at the
Brooklyn navy yard to pass bills ren
dered by him for goods not delivered.
He was held in $7,500 bonds.
The first indictment against Ander
son charges him with having at
tempted to bribe Lieut. Wilfred V.
Powelson, who is in charge of the
department of electrical equipment
of the navy yard and a member of
the board of inspection of that de
partment. Anderson, it is alleged,
made a specific order of $2,000 to
Powelson if lie would audit and Cer
tify a bill for goods and materials
which Anderson never delivered.
The second indictment is based
upon similar testimony from A. .1.
Porter, chief clerk of the department,
Who alleges that Anderson placed on
his desk an envelope containing a
roll of bills, and which were rejected.
Anderson holds a contract with the
government for the supply of certain
brass castings for use in the navy.
In fulfilling this contract with the
government it is alleged thjit }ie
sought to secure payment for large
quantities of goods through false
vouchers and which he did not de
liver.
CONSERVATIVES WIN.
Scored a Victory In tile Cuban Consti
tutional Convention.
Havana, March 8. —The Cuban con
stitutional convention me* Thursday
afternoon for a formal discussion o'
the Piatt amendment. The conserv
ative element, scored a victory. It
was decided to continue the sessions
of the convention and to refer the
amendment to the special committee
!on relations, with instructions to
' bring in a report.
Gen. Sanguilly contended that the
intention of the original call was an
nulled by Gov. Gen. Wood's instruc
tions at the opening of the conven
tion, when delegates were asked to
give only an opinion.
The radical element did not flock
to Sanguilly as had been expected,
and the convention's action in refer
ring the question to the special conj
mittee on relations indicates a wil
lingness to recede from the former
attitude. It is evident that many
of the delegates still hope the amend
ment will be changed, but there is no
bitter feeling now apparent. It is
doubtful wlu 'ber the convention will
' ever agree to accept the amendments.
It is generally believed that the
crisis, if any existed, is passed and
that by thfe 'me » : ie I'Miimlttee im
ports the present excitement will
have died out.
A Will from Kngland.
London, March B.—The Board of
Trade Journal warns British manu
facturers that the reports of a Brit
ish commercial agent in the United
States show that American boots and
shoes are capturing markets where
British goods ought to have a monop
oly.
Panned a Parole Bill.
St. Paul, Minn., March 8.< —The
house yesterday passed the Deming
parole bill allowing prisoners sen
tenced for life to be paroled after
serving 30 years. The bill was in
troduced in the interest of the Young
er brothers, who are serving life sen
tences for participation in the fa
mous Nortlifield bank raid in Septem
ber. 1576. The bill was amended so
that it will require the written con
sent of each member of the pardon
board before a life prisoner can be
paroled. This practically leaves the
matter as it is at present.
LIKE A TERRIRLE CYCLONE GRIP
bacillus has passed over our country,
from the Atlantic to the Pacific, leav
ing behind it a dark cloud of anguish and
despair.
Catarrh follows grip as effect follows
cause.
A multitude of catarrh victims will spring
up in the trail of the awful epidemic of grip
that has just passed over our fair country.
The hope to these people is Peruna.
Most people know this already.
Everyone who has had the least touch of
grip, should not fail to take a course of treat
ment with Peruna.
Peruna eradicates every vestige of the dis
ease and leaves the system in a normal con
dition.
Hon. Joseph B. Crowley. Congressman
from Illinois, writes from the National Ho

"After giving Peruna a fair trial I can

"For years I have unfortunately found

times I would be severely afflicted with la
grippe and its unpleasant consequences.
"Now for the past year and a half I have
used Peruna in such cases and have found
that it not only cures me quickly, but it
also cleanses my blood and renders me less

superior tonic."—Anna Russell.
Miss Alice Dressier, 1313 North Bryant

"Last spring I suffered from la grippe

effects remained through the summer, and.
somehow 1 did not get strong as I was W
fore. In the fall I caught a cold after get
ting my feet wet and attending a lecture i»
a cold hall, and 1 suffered a relapse. An
unpleasant catarrh of the head and throat
followed, and as I'was in a weak condition,
physically previous to this, it took but lit
tle to break me down completely.
"One of my college friends who was vis
iting me, asked me to try Peruna, and 1 did
so and found it nil and more than 1 had ex

nut restored me to perfect health, built nj>
the entire system, and brought a happy
feeling of buoyancy which I had not known
for years."—Miss Alice Dressier.
