The rebellion in Shantung is growing to an alarming extent, the revolutionists having even made an irruption into Chill, and it is even said by some correspondents that they have reached the neighborhood of Tientsin, so that should they attempt to enter that settlement the foreign troops will have to land to protect life and prop- erty. The Peking Government, however, de- siring to avert the necessity it is pre- sumed of allen interference, has sent 7000 In_ Canton, too, despite the attempts of -Li Hung Chang to put it down, the insurrection grows, and from Wei-Hai-Wei comes news that disturbances are threatened be- tween the British and the Chinese. ————— EMPEROR OF CHINA ILL. Rumor Current That He Is Being Sicwly Poisoned. YOKOHAMA, April 13, via Victoria, B C., April 24—As to the approaching de- mise of the Emperor there are strangely conflicting reports. A few days ago there came the news that the court was mak- ing extensive preparations for going into nouncement of visits paild by the Dowager to the Ewo palace, in company with the Emperor. Private accounts, nevertheless, all agree that his Majesty is in a pre- carious condition, some averring that slow poison is doing its work and that the re- ported death will shortly reach some such culmination.

ST L Legal Ceremony Recalls an 0ld Scandal Dating Back to the Reign of the First William. et Speclal Dispatch to The Call. PARIS, April 24—A sensational fact concerning the court of Berlin has just come to light, a fact, however, which wiil not surprise those familiar with certain scandals current in court circles during the relgn of Emperor Frederick. The lat- ter's widow, Empress Frederick, has just been married to Count Saeckentorf. observed when the Empress was Naples that she walked about with Count Saeckentorf arm-in-arm and caused not a little comment thereby, especially in view of thé fact that during the reign of William I the Empress was ordered to leave Berlin by reason of her familiarity with this court officlal. Even during the time of Emperor Frederick a scandal was quietly circulated concerning the relations between the two. As both the Count and the Empress are now well on in years, the.| desire to put an end to court chatter, and of a legal marriage to spend quietly together, unhampered by the discomfort of a false position, may be easily understood. The Empress desired that the announcement of the marriage should be made public, but this the Kaiser objected to. The source from which the information comes makes the fact as reported here in- disputable. PRESIDENT AND PARTY VISIT HiS CANTON HOME In Deference to the Wishes of the Chief Executive There Is No Public Demonstration. CANTON, Ohio, April 24.—President and Mrs. McKinley and party arrived at 10:10 o’clock this morning.

It is thought he will return to Canton Wednesday evening. —— PRISON KEYS RETURNED. Outlaws Send Their Compliments to Sheriff White.

Proposed Measure Provides That | Railroads, Express Companies and Other Common Carriers Must Afiix the Stamp. P Tsre Spectal Dispatch to The Call. WASHINGTON, April 24.—Representa- tive Wilson of New York to-day intr duced a bill in the House of Represent tives to amend the war revenue law so as to compel railroads, express companies and other common carriers to pay the | revenue taxes on express packages and | freight shipments. The bill provides that the company shall affix and cancel at Its | own expense a 1 cent revenue stamp on each bill of lading, manifest or other evi- dence of receipt and forwarding of each shipment. For failure to comply with the law, a penalty of $i0 in each case is pro- posed and no bill of lading, manifest or receipt is to be valid for use in evidence unless duly stamped as provided In_the bill. This bill is advocated by the Mer- chants' Association of New York and by many other ~commercial organizations throughout the country, as under the re- cent decision of the United States courts these freight and express taxes must be paid by the shipper. —_— CAMELS FOR CALIFORNIA.

The department has received from Mr. Griscom, the United States Charge d'Affaires, a cablegram announc- ing that the Porte has undertaken to| meet_all of the engagements made with | the United States Minister regarding the | payment of the claims set up on account of the destruction of American mission | property in Turkey. It is not stated when s | the payments will be made, and it is sur- mised that owing to the many obligations of greater magnitude pressing upon the Porie, some time may yet elapse before the money is actually in hand. The Charge also confirmed the press reports as to the publication by the Porte t an irade authorizing the rebuilding of the destroyed missions at Harpoot and Harsam, and the construction of an an- nex to the Robert College, the great American_theological school in Constan- tinople. This action of the Turkish au- thorities {8 regarded of an importance far exceeding the mere payment of $90,000 on account of property aestroyed by a mob. It amounts to a recognition of the rights s to build their schools ires them against what they regarded as a gradual but absolute exclusion from the domains of the Sul- tan On _the whole the officials here regard Mr. Griscom’s cable as marking the safe ¥ ge of what might have been regard- a critical point in the negotiations, and feel confident that, in_addition to this notable concession. the United States | will secure all of its just claims. ‘ | | REV.
