LONDON, Feb. 5.—The Shanghal cor- respondent of the Dalfly Mail says: “The changed attitude of the Empress Dowager and her virtual abandonment of her reso- lution to depose the Emperor are directly due to the torrent of public remonstrance against her action. For the first time in Chinese history public opinion has been effective.” ADVERTISEMENTS. A RESTAURANT EPISODE. A Sort of Straw Vote. An advertising agent, representing a prominent New York magazine, while on a recent Westerr. trip, was dining one evening in a Pittsburg restaurant. ‘While walting for his order he glanced over his newspaper and noticed the ad- vertisement of a well-known dyspepsia preparation, Stuart’'s Dyspepsia Tablets. As he himself was a regular user of the tablets he began speculating as to how many of the other traveling men in the dining-room were also friends of the pop- ular remedy “for indigestion. He says: “I counted twenty-three men at the tables and in the hotel office I took the trouble to Interview them and was surprised to learn that nine of the twen- ty-three made practice of taking one or two of Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets af- ter each meal. “One of them told me he had suffered so much from stomach trouble that at one time he had been obliged to quit the road, but since using Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets had been entirely free from in- digestion, but he continued their use, es- pecially while traveling, on account of ir- regularity in meals and because, like all traveling men, he was often obliged to eat what he could get and not always what he wanted. “Another, who looked the picture of health, saild he never ate a meal without taking a Stuart Tablet afterward because he could eat what he pleased and when he pleased, without fear of & sleepless night or any other trouble. Still another used them because he was subject to gas on stomach, causing pres- sure on heart and lungs, shortness of breath and distress in chest, which he no longer experienced since using the tablets regularly. “Another claimed that Stuart's Dys- pepsia Tablets was the only safe remedy he had ever found for sour stomach and acidity. He had formerly used common soda to relieve the trouble, but the tablets were much better and safer to use.” Afater smoking, drinking or other ex- cesses which weaken the digestive organs, nothing restores the stomach to a healthy, wholesome condition so effec- tually as Stuart’s Tablets. the members of the Legislature | is heartily sick of the | It may prolong the session, but if| Captain King and his or- | entered | BORNEANS ANBUSH N BATIH FORCE Incidents of the Recent Rebellion. —— Epectal Dispatch to The Call. TACOMA, Feb. 4—Malil advices from Hongkong contain news of the late revolt in British North Borneo. Natives along the whole west coast arose in arms against the chartered British Company operating there. They were led by the notorious outlaw Mat Sellah, who led the rebellion against the British there several vears ago. That rebelllon was ended by the managing director of the company going to Labuan and paying Sellah a Targe sum to disperse his followers and be | good. His money having been spent, Sel- | leh organized the recent rebellion on a | greater scale than ever. | An expedition comprising 250 sikhs_or | native soldiers and _bluejackets left Lebuan last month. Several miles out they were atacked by rebels from ambush and a number were killed. The British force then fell back to awalt reinforce- ments. Evidently these reinforcements were re- ceived, and the advance renewed, as cable advices have announced the success of the expedition. Several hundred of the | | rebels were killed or wounded. Six rich residents have arrived at Hong- | kong from Borneo to remain until the war {s over. At Gaya Bay Sellah’s men raided | | the Chinese shops, carrying off much | booty. Two Government messengers are | missing, and are believed to have been murdered. gunboat Rattler went from Labuan to Gaya to be near the scene of arfare. To make maters worse, the Tambanan | and Tegallias tribes in the Interior are | fighting against each other, with a cer- | tainty that the victorious tribe will aug- | | ment the rebel forces. ’ | WILLIAM LOVELL DEAD. Well Known Turfman Who Owned Many Famous Horses. NEW YORK, Feb. 5—William Lovell, a well-known turfman, dled to-day at his residence in this city. He made a for- tune in Australlan mines and later, upon | the discovery of gold in Callfornia, went there and engaged again in min- ing, at one time being _assoclated with James G. Falr. Subsequent- lv he went into the business of breeding and raising horses. Among the famous speeders he has owned were Jack | Lovell, Marie Lillo and American Girl, | who at one time was the fastest horse in | the world. Some twenty years ago he | lost a wager of $75,000 to Pierre Lorillard, | which is sald to have been the biggest | single bet ever made In racing circles. Mr. Lovell was connected with several | trotting associations. He kept breeding | farms at Branchport, N. J. In 1865 he | married Miss Josephine A. Wells, daugh- ter of Amos G.

Spectal Dispatch to The Call NEW YORK, Feb. 4—The Herald's spe- clal correspondent sends the following from Washington: - The shadows of the coming Presidential campaign are swiftly enveloping the Administration and Congress and the henchmen of the various political parties. The harmony which prevailed eighteen months ago has vanished. There are many signs of discord. Those who have time and opportunities to observe the ten- dencies of political events can see many snags ahead for those who are now pilot- ing the ship of state. Critics or opponents of this or that pol- icy of the Administration are found not only in the ranks of the opposition party, which Is pretty solidly united, but also in the ranks of the Republican party. The stormy petrels in Congress are of- ten untrustworthy political weather vanes, but they do not wing their wild flights without producing some effect on public sentiment. They have been ex- tremely active ever since the beginning of | the session. The President probably realizes by this time that the next eight or nine months of his political life will not be along a primrose path. For example, he does not and cannot know how far the pro-Boer demonstrations may influence popular sentiment agalnst him and his Admin- istration. It is demanded that he shall establish diplomatic relations with the Transvaal Republic, and some members of his own party seriously intend to ini- tiate legislation looking to that end by means of an amendment to the appropria- tion bill. It also is serfously demanded that the President shall attempt to restore peace | between the British and the Boers. This the President will probably refuse to do. But certain questions which confront the President in relation to domestic poli- cles that he has adopted or recommended o Congress appear to threaten more se- rlous trouble. What are the questions that threaten party discord now? What is called expansion by the Republicans and imperialism by many Democrats, and the problems relating to it, are prominent among them. Leaving wholly out of con- sideration the Atkinsons, Pettigrews, Masons, Allens and_ their followers and sympathizers, and the so-called anti-im- perialists who share the views of Bryan, there are tens of thousands, perhaps hun- dreds of thousands, of conservative citi- zens who disagree with one or another feature of the policy of the Administra- tion, as far as it has been disclosed, re- specting the political status and civil rights of the inhabitants of the newly ac- quired territory and the proper sort of government or governments to be estab- lished and maintained therein. President Faunce of Brown graduated from that university in 18%0. Great Britain Will CALL HEADQUARTERS, WELLING- | TON HOTEL, WASHINGTON, Feb. 4—| | Offical admission has at last been made that negotiations have been in progress between the United States and Great | Britain looking to the abrogation of the | Clayton-Bulwer treaty. The following statement, made to-night by an official in a position to know the facts, may be ac- | cepted as authoritative: | “Lord Pauncefote and Secretary Hay | have for some time been conducting ne- | gotfations relative to the abrogation of | the Clayton-Bulwer treaty and the au- | thorities look for a favorable and early termination.” This explains the activity of Congres: | In’ connection with the_ consideration the construction of the Nicaraguan canal | by the United States. It will be recalled that The Call some time ago announcec that a member of the foreign relations | committee stated that this Government | had received information that Great Brit- ain would not oppose its construction and control of the canal; but fearful were the authorities that publication of any information at that time might be preju- dicial to the negotiations that they de- nied even that the matter had been dis- cussed by the two Governments. This reticence has been retained until to-day, when it was thought that negotiations had proceeded to such a point that there was no danger of failure and the state- ment referred to above was made. Beyond the mere statement that nego- tions are in progress and will early be terminated, the authorities are not willing to go, but there is reason to belleve that in the discussion which has occurred the | British Government has not neglected to | bring up the question of the Alaskan | boundary controversy, and it would not be surprising if the United States, in ex- | | change for the abrogation of the Clay- | ton-Bulwer convention, had not agreed | to make some concession in this matter. | | — - | | | | | i CONCESSIONS IN ALASKA. | Western Senators May Oppose the i Treaty Arrangement. | NEW YORK, Feb. 4—The Journal has the following from Washington: The an- nouncement that Great Britain has re- nounced the rights she has alleged as hers | under the Clayton-Bulwer treaty aroused | much interest in official circles.
