MINISTER WU HAS A PLAN Will Tell His Emperor How to Remedy resent Evils, PROPOSES REFORMS MORE CONSERVATIVE Nope: Dee by Beglnning Mildly to Remove Rooted Prejudice Without voking Renewed Hos- tiltie WASHINGTON, April 21.-The Chinese minister, Wu Ting Fang, is about to make a move of far-reaching importance to the affairs of China and ohe which will, it i belleved, engage the favorable attention of all thie forelgn powers interested in affaira of the Chinese kovernment A recent imperial wdict officials of China home and viceroys, governors and ministers abroad to present to the government every facility at thelr command to aid in overcoming the prese disasirous condition of . The points out past evils and holds to se account those members of t a4 regim whose conduct has been largely for the distress through which the country has passed for every wid which iis patriotic citizen can bring to It in overcoming the evils of the past and in establishing a secure basis for the future, Acting upon this edict Mr. P a memorial to the governm memorfal of this charac it §s s the most impertant act a Chinese official can take, for it Is not resorted to except on certain occasions, when the gravity of u cause warrants an official to come lnto fmmediato communication with the imperial authorities on high affalrs of state. Prob ably the most important feature of the dgcument fs Its presentation of the view that the time is now at hand for China to adopt systems of reforu Concedes Japan's The minister's memorial Wu has pre it eruy. will_point to the lesson Japan has given to the world, | for Ministor Wu holds that there is noth- ing lacking In the resources of China or In the character of her people to keep her from securing the same advantages which have come to Japan ‘The memorial does not, however, con- fine itself to generalization, but specifies along which lines changes may be made with advantage. As stated, these cover administrative, economic and financial con- ditions. In some respects Mr. Wu's recom- mendations will take up lines of reform which have been brought forward by ihe powers in negotlations at Pekin, and will point out that In resisting them It will be to the advantage of China to go further than' the powers have suggested. For In- stanes, he will propose that oue officlal, instaad of a board of five, be given the authority and responsibility of directing the forelgn affairs of the empire now entrusted to the ten members of the Tsung LI Yameu He does not regard it as essentlal that this one official shall bo u privce of the blood, although, if 4 be, preference might'be given to a prince if he had the other requisites of ability for forelgn ad- minlstration. The memorlal will urge that the pupreme trust in the selection of this high oficial should be ability for the po- sition. He also points out that by virtue of his position he should be a member of the privy council, and thus able to secure ready access to the emperor. While this ofcial would be charged with the responsibility, yet for administrative purposes he would bave under him two or three assistants. _This_would constifute the entire execu- 1v6 ‘organization, wo far as relates to the forelgn affalrs ¢f the empire, and such ad1di- tionshcofMclale ne might be required would b¢ apnoltited plmply for purposes of carry- ing op ‘the business of the office. There woithl he \no need of two aulstant secre- tarles With a knowledge of forelgn lan- guages, ‘as such eficlals would be nothivg myre than f{nterpreters. Mr, Wu's plan Is to eonfine responsible authority within nar- row limits, leaving assistants, Interpreters, etc., to carry on the administrative work. In otha respects the memorial will pres sent in detall the best features of western administration as applicable to China. The document 1 practically completed and soon will be laid, before the imperial govern- ment. DEATH RECORD. Dr. ¥, J. Bricker. AURORA, Neb., April 21.—(Special Tel. egram.)—Dr. I*. J.

Sixteen who produced certificates were released. The remaining eighteen are held in custody It is estimated that at least eighty in- mates of the houses on Baker street and Sullivan alley escaped through alleys and over roofs. The rald was the immediate result of an order from the attorney general at Washington to the district attornoy di- recting him to do all in his power to sup- press the trafc in female Chinese slaves. The women prisoners will be taken before the federal courts to determine whether they have u legal right to remain in this country and if they are held in bondage 45 the chattels of masters, The power of the authorities will stop at this point, but the officlals are confident the deportation of a number of slave girls will dampen the ardor of slave dealers and partially destroy the trafe. —_—— CLARK AIDING HILL'S PLAN tor Said (o He Interested roject to Outrival Harriman, SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Apri ~In a column article the Tribuue says that the present activity in railroad bullding in southwestern Utah and southeastern Ne- vada Dby interests representing Senator William A.

April 19, 1901 Be President Brown, who was 04 lived in Vancouve n Yenrs. vears of age, had since 1862, His father was the first receiver of the Vancouver land office. He had served as auditor of Clark county, was married and had a family. His conncction with the bank as its president dates back ten years. Canby was 52 years old and was well con- nected. His wife was Miss Frances Burn- side, daughter of an Oregon pioneer. He has a brother who is a paymaster in the United States army. Another brother com- mitted suicide by jumping off the wharf at Vancouver several years ago. While Bank Examiner Maxwell, who is now in charge as receiver, has made no oMcial statement, it is known that (he bank has loaned a large sum of moncy on insuMcient security. According to his re- port to the controller of the currency there is a shortage of $81,000 in the bank's ac- counts and It is understood that a copsider- able portion of this amount was loaned to Brown and Canby on their personal notes. About a year ago the bank re- duced its capital stock from $100,000 to ,000. At that time about one-half of the so-called bad assets was “‘charged off” and has been carried as an asser since that time. The heaviest stockholder s Colonel Stephen P. Joslyn of the regular army, a member of General Shafter's staff. Colonel Joslyn is stationed at San Francisco. His post was Vancouver when the bank was organized in 1883, and ever since that time he has been the heaviest stockholder. According to the last statement issued in February the bauk had deposits amounting to about $230,000. Confess Ir Galle, From the condition of the bodies and other circumstances it is almost certain that the suicides occurred between 7 and 8 o'clock Friday evening. Two pistol shots coming from the direction where the bodies were found were heard at that hour by L. B. Rand, who lives a quarter of a mile distant. Following the arrival of United States District Attorney Wilson R. Gay last night a warrant was issued by Judge Miller of the superior court charging Brown and Canby with the embezzlement of §10,000 of the funds of the bank on January 18, 1. The complaint contains tour charges of embezzlement and misap- plication of the funds of the bank, falsi- tying the books of the bank and issuing false reports of the bank's condition to the controller of the currency. Bank Examiner Maxwell, who has been installed by the controller as temporary recefver of the bank, still refuses to give out any statement. of the affairs of the bank. Both Brown and Canby, when con- fronted Friday by Maxwell with false en- tries in the books, made a full confession, Canby vemarking: ““Well, you have caught me this time, Maxwell; that is a false en- try.”" Then, picking up a pistol from the counter, he remarked, as he held the muz- zle toward his head: *This is the only gure way 1 see out of the difficult Max- well remonstrated with him against his apparent suicidal intent when Canby low- ered the weapon and left the room by the rear door. It is believed while outside he attempted to kil! himself, as on return- ing he threw down the pistol, remarking: “The gun is no good and will not go off." In answer to an inquiry from Maxwell If he was implicated in the eriminal en- try, Brown replied: “Yes, I am equally guilty.” District Attorney Gay stated today that there is evidence that the ‘criminal acts of the two officials cover » period of sev- eral years and only by a thorough investi- gation of the books can their full extent be known RARE SURGICAL OPERATION an Sews Up Kuife @ in Philip Gun Heart, ST. LOUIS, April 21.—Dr. H. 1. Nietert, superintendent of the city hospital, has Just performed one of the most remarkable operations ever recorded in the annsls of surgery. It consisted of taking three titches in the heart of Philip Guon, un employe of the Shapleigh Hardware com- pany, who had been stabbed in a'“%aloon brawl. The point of the knifeblade bad entered the right ventricle and had pierced to the cavity of the heart. Luckily the knife had entered the heart obliquely and the result was that the opening between the cavity and the pericardium, or cover- ing of the heart, was lip-shaped on both sides. The wound acted as a valve, and at each pulsation of the blood through (he heart but a small quantity escaped through the artificlal opening. The task of stitch- fng this unusual wound was a very dim- cult one. Dr. Nietert first rembved a wec- tion of the breastbone, exposing the peri- cardium.

A 19-year-old daughter of Andigo was in- sulted and when her father refused to give up his money as readily as demanded, she was dragged down to the floor by her hair by one of the robbers. The mother, who had seen her husband’s torture and her daughter’s indignities, told the robbers that If they would desist she would give up the money. She led the way to the cellar, where, in an old cupboard, the savings of years, $6,000, was handed over to the rob- bers. The robbers escaped. nt————— To Prevent Puenmonia and Grip Laxative Bromo-Quinine removes the cause. ames——— RESTRICTING WOMEN CLERKS, Marked Opposition Shown in Depart- ments at Washington, Scores of theories have been advanced in explanation of the movement now well defined in opposition to women clerks in the government departments at Washington, Some critics with more zeal than veracity, says the New York Sun, have averred that the attitude of the government's officers toward female employes has been Inspired by the desire of political leaders to strengthen partisan support by engaging men, instead of women, in the different divislons. Every man taken into the serv- ice, say these champions of the gentle sex, ‘‘means a vote on the republican side, and every vete counts.” It, nowever, the heads of one or two of the departments have been quoted correctly, there {s a less political explanation. Speak- ing of the situation recently, an officer of the War department is reported to have sald substantially that in putting on, ad- Justing readjusting and taking off their bonnets, veils, wraps, aprons and cuffs, the fair employes usually consume a full hour each day, exclusive of the time they spend in conversation not connected with their work. Consequently, at that rate, Uncle Sam Is deprived of about one-sixth of the service he has a right to expect from his staft of female clerks. Sickness, bad weather and a varlety of other causes are commonly assigned for absence from duty; and rurely, remarks the officer, is the clerk's annual thirty days’ sick leave un- exhausted by the women at the end of the year. It is alleged, also, that occasional orders to work overtime are not always met with cheerfulness #nd wcquiescence on the part of the female clerks, and that they have no hesitancy In showing (beir contempc for such “audacious” demands upon them. It is further alleged that they object vigor- ously to hurrying when requested, and are apt to develop symptoms of acute hysteria if fault in found with their work It will be seen that this version of the subject makes the question of professional APRIL | WHERE | Red, followed the clerical fitness of the females entirely ex. traneous.

Wide | the most fascinating the early history of involves the share which the Norsemen had {n discovering this continent. \\'m.-: differences of opinion on the subject exist | | questions Amerfea | Cne of relative to among historians and archacologists, says the New York Tribune, owing to the scanti- ness and imperfections of the avallable testimony. The late Prof. E. N. Hors- ford, for instance, was confident that Bos- | ton bay was visited by those early explor- ers, and he and other investigators have found what they regarded as foundation stones of Norse dwellings. Prof. John Fiske, on tke other hand, is sceptical re- garding all alleged vestiges of the North- men's visits, and other students of the problem locate the region which Leif Erik- son is said to have called Vinland, or . elsewhere than near Cape Cod. A fresh review of the testimony has just been made by Dr. Juul Dieserud of the Library of Congress, in the Bulletin of the Natlonal Geographical society. Dr. Dieserud aceepts the theory that the | Norsemen really came (o America about nine centuries ago, but, like Prof. Fiske, | he discredits all archaeological evidence, nd relies simply upon the sagas, There are two of these, and they do not agree | very closely. The so-called Flatoe book, | a manuscript compiled from older wources about 1387, declarcs that Bjarni Herjult- son was the first Norwegian to set eyes on America, that this event occurred in 087, and that Leif, the son of Eric the matier up about fifteen vears later. This narrative omits all men- tion of a certain Thorfin Karlsefni and his companions. The other story appears in the Hauks book, a manuscript that fs | thought to date back to 1331, or further, and which was written by Hauk Erlend- son, a descendant of Karlsefni. Bjarni is entirely ignored in the sccond of these histories, which makes Lelf the original discoverer of Wineland, and gives an ex- tended account of the adventures of Karlsefnl. The True D Dr. Dieserud gives the Hauks book the preference, because many flaws have been found In the other version. Still, so far us there s accord between the two narratives, he would credit the Flatoe book. Thus, at the outset of his review. Dr. Dieserud elim- inates Bjarni, who is said to have only sighted America and not to have landed at all, and treats Lelf as the true discoverer, inasmuch as the latter is reported to have gone achore in the year 1000, in a place where grapes grew wild and some kind of cereal was self-sown. At best, however, Leif's discovery was an accident, according 10 the Hauks book, inasmuch as he is said to have heen blown out of his course while returning from a visit in Norway to hia home in Greenland. Thorfin Karlsefnl, whose adventures are described at length in the Hauks book, set out with the definite purpose of explora- tion. He wanted to find the country which Leif called *“Wineland,” and is sald to have taken with him four vessels and 130 men The expedition remained out for three or four years, during which time one party, led by Thorhall, was lost while engaged in an independent venture. Karlsefni found a place which seemed to him to correspond to the Wineland of the original discoverer, but the identification was not complete. Consequently, whatever may be thought of the accuracy with which Dr. Dieserud and others recognize the places examined by Karlsefni, one cannot be altogether sure that any of them was the region visited by his predecessor The ™ Prof. Storm, who has been a close student of this Norse literature as well as the geography involved, thinks that the expe- dition from Greenland struck the American coast first in the vicinity of Labrador. Dr. Dieserud adopts this view and supposes that Karlsefni must then have pus hed south- ward on account of the forbidding “harac of the region, down the easteru coast of Newfoundland, turning Cape Race and then salling again in a generally westerly direc. tion. Thus he would encounter the castern coast of Cape Breton, near its northern extremity. The cape jutting out to the northward, called “Keelness” In the saga, Prof. Storm thinks was Cape Breton. But Dr. Dieserul 18 better satisfled with Cape North or Cape Egmont, The long stretch of unindented coast of the story iaight possibly be that which lies between Cape North, on the north, and St. Mary's bay, on the south, on the eastern face of Cape Breton Dr. Dieserud I8 inclined to think that Mira bay, near the southeastern corner of the tsland, answers the description of the inlet, called Streamfirth In the saga, where Karlsefni found winter quarters for two or three years. The story mentions an island off the bay, which may have been Scatary. Disappointed In the climate of the region around Streamfirth, both Karlsefni and one of his companions, Thorhall, started out to explore still further. Thorhall went north and was finally lost. The leader of the expedition went routhwestward. He went ashore in a country which be called Hop, finding grapes, self-sown grain, wild animals and plenty of halibut. In the background was & range of low mountains, Dr. Dieserud believes that Hop was identi- cal with Wineland, and that it was on the southern coast of Nova Scotia, not further west than Halifax. Encounters with swarthy men in skin canoes and other causes led Karlsefni to abandon his camp bere after 3 few months and go back to Streamfirth, A voyage was how undertaken in search of Thorhall. Dr. Dieserud believes that this took the leader of the expedition northward from Mira bay and around Cape North and down the west side of Cape Breton to the north coast of the eastern part of Nova Scotla. The Hauks book says that the point where Karlsetni landed was about as far from Streamfirth in one direction as Hop was in the other. More- over, there were mountains in sight like those of Hop. Dr. Dieserud thinks that the range which forms the divide between | the counties of Halifax and Guysborough, on the south, and Pletou and Antigonieh, on the north, meets the requirements of tho story well. Hence he concludes that the place where the Norsemen went ashore again was east of Merigomish harbor, but not far from Cape St. George, Nova Scotia. | | | verer. Probable Land Ince. WOMEN WHO SHOOT. Some H nine Lovers The recent accidental shooting of a woman by her 19-vear-old daughter re- calls the fact that accomplished marksmen and women never hold weapons iu such u position that an accidental discharge |s likely to injure themselves or anyone else This is the very first lesson in the use of firearms. Miss Annfe Oakley, a well known markswoman, who teaches many women 0ot, recently sald ‘The very first thing which I impress upon a woman pupil is that she must never hold & pistol or « rifle in such a way that It could go off and hurt -nybo’u.
