These troops, it was further contended by the Japaneso minister, must be sent into Manchuria, as the Russians reported great disturbances thero and it was not right that the task of quelling the trouble shovld be thrown upon the shoulders of one na- tion nese was Powers VMay Send Army. Finally Prince Ching was assured that it the 20,000 Chinese troops could not sup- press the disorders in Manchuria other powers would send an international force 1o co-operate with China, which the powers arded as a friendly power No reply having been received to this communication, Li Hung Chang was today notified to the same effect and told that Emperor Kwang Su must give an fmme- diate answer. The preperations which the Japanese here are making for an early start indi- cate that they expect war between Russia and Japan. Vessels arriving at Taku from Nagasaki report the mobilization of the Jupanese fleet and the continuance of prep- wrations on board ship for the anticipated struggle. Ching's Counter Charg Prince Ching says all his reports go to show that the misslonary statements re- garding _a rebellion in Mongolia are not supported by the facts. Neither does he belleve that the rebellion of General Tung Fu Slan amounts to much. “It 18 the object of certaln elements,'" he asserts, “to make it seem that China is in a condition of constant broil, rendering 1t unsafe for the forelgn troops to be with- drawn. Those who have this in view will magnify a village riot into a big rebellion The Chinese ministers, naturally timid, take these reports in good falth.” SAY MINISTERS WASTE TIME Milttary Attuc The conduct of the ministers of the powers over the negoti- ations with the Chinese plenipotentiaries causes much adverse comment among the military people. Their dilatory tactics have prevented what might have been ac- complished two months ago. Even now the meeting of the ministers are postponed for the most trivial causes. For instance, the desire of a minister to go on a plenle (o the tombs of the Ming dynasty prevented the holding of a meeting for a number of days. Then M DeGlers and other minis- ters insisted o: celebrating Easter, and thus a week was consumed. In a third case an unnecessary visit by one minister to Tien Tsin held up the negotiations for four days. These are fair Hlustrations of what has been almost continuous from the be ginning MEMORIAL DAY IN PEKIN Services Three Favoring Forelg PEKIN, April 14.—~Memorial services will be held by order of the court in honor of Yeu Chien Sing, Li Slen and Hsu Sung Y the mem! of the tsung li yamen who were executed last summer because of thelr pro-forelgn sentiment. 7The staff of the United States legation has been invited to attond.

PARIS, April 14— Among the Boer pris- oners who recently arrived in Lisbon from Lourenzo Marques,” says a speciul dis- patch from the Portuguese capital, “‘was a young American, Randolph Martinsen, who described himself as a son of the president of the Missouri, Kansas & Texas Ratlroad company. He was captured by the British, but was released as an American on promising mot to fight in. Subse quently he was arrested in Lourenzo Mar- ques, at the request of the British authori- ties, under suspicion of being a Boer agent. Mr. Martinsen, on being brought here, se- cured his release through the American charge d'affaires, and his father sent him money to pay his passage home." According to his representations he was aide-de-camp to Colonel John Blake, com- mander of the Irish brigade. A dispatch to the London Daily Mail from Lourenzo Marques, cabled to the As- soclated Press March 11, said that a Mr. Martinsen, who was sald to have resigned a post in the United States prmy to join the Boer forces, had been shipped from Lisbon on the Portuguese (ransport Zaire, which carried 103 Boer families, after he bad made an ineffectual attempt to obtain consular protection.

In the four congres- sional districts not represented by r lican congressmen in Nebraska there 900 postoffices, upon 800 of which action has been had at some time or other during the last four years Ofices that Go Beguling. Many of the offices are small and unim- portant, concerniug which great difficulty is experfenced in securing postmasters who will serve as such for any considerable length of time, and therefore it happens that in many cases several appointmenis become necessary in the course of three or four yen For Mstance, at 156 of such offices ex-Senator Thurston found it neces- sary to make two nominations; at thirty- nine thereof three appointments were made, while sixteen had four postmasters during | the four years and three postoffices have had no less than five diffevent postmasters In the eight United States land offices in Nebraska registerers and receivers were appointed four years ago; (he seventy- three pension boards in the state of N braska were reorganized; applications and papers relating to rural free delivery routes desired for Nebraska have passed through Senator Thurston's hands for recommenda tion and file with the department to the number of 160, while he has been called upon to look into a vast number of pension claims, nearly 1,000 of which he has been enabled to secure favorable action upon during his term as United States senator. Work for the New Senato: The foregoing is suggestive of some of the matters and the extent thercof upon which the new senators from Nebraska will be required to take action in the future, although, as has been stated, in the matter of appointments they will doubtless be re- lieved of much of the trouble and annoy- ance which was the lot of the single repub- lican representative in the higher branch of congress from the Antelope state, and in addition thereto will be enabled to divide up the burdens of their positions fn such matters as the republican representatives from the four districts which are repre- sented by cougressmen not in harmony with the administration. Make-Up of Committees, Already speculation is being indulged in as to the make-up of committees tn both branches of congress next winter and | senntors and representatives have com- menced to cast their eyes over the con- gressional directory with a view of pulling oft the best committee plums. Congress- wan Mercer will, unless all precedent 13 set aside, be continued as chairman of the | committee on public building and grounds, over which he has presided for the last | four years. In the senate, however, a much more interesting condition obtains in view of a number of vacant chairman- ships, existing by reason of the retirement of a number of leading republicans, and these vacancies can not help result fn beno- fit to the two new senators from Nebraska, both of whom will undoubtedly secure chairmanships of committees, although it is not expected that these committees will be of the first class or “standing com- mittees” as they are called, for the rea- son that older senators must first be taken care of.

Today there are 600 men affected by the trouble, with Indications pointing to a protracted struggle. The Molders' union has, under similar grievances, joined the strikers, and as a result the foundry department of the Ama- conda company has been shut down Since the strikers' interview with Presi- dent Scallon of the Anaconda Mining com- pany’s propertics, in which they were told that no concessions were to be offered, the union men have assumed a more aggressive attitude and as a consequence the machin- ists employed at the Washoe (new works) truck this morning.
