A report was in ctrculation in, dip- | | lomatic quarters that one of ‘the Chlnese envoys was opposed to accepting the terms, but it is not knswn whether this| report came from any authoritative | source. It understood also that Li | Hung Chang’s_iliness might have some effect in retarding the negotiations. The State Department has received nothing from Minister Conger to indicate that the Emperor opposes the aeceptance of the peace terms. The officials here continue to be hopeful that there will be an early acceptance. The points referred to as objectionable to the Chinese, chiefly | the maintenance of legation guards, | not regarded here as likely to form Wo. rious barrfers to an agreement, as all of the pow probably will give visible evi- | dence at an early day of their purpose to reduce the legation guard as soon as | China shows good faith in accepting the conditions. In some diplomatic quarters it is be- lieved that the reported opposition of the Emperor will not lead to a rejection of the demand, but to the submission of a counter proposition of inquiry from China, This is considered the natural course of diplomatic controversy, and it would have the advantage to China of saving her rights to accept the terms at a latter period, while in the meantime seeking to reduee their severity. e 1 Li’s Secretary Arrested.

Mr. Choate not only denies them, but he cannot understand how any corre- spondent could even find grounds for sending such stories. They are fabrica- tions and nothing more. Yeomanry Officers Resign. Lieutenant Colonel Sprogge. who com- manded the veomanry at Lindley, has r signed. Several other resignations have been gazetted, among them being that of Ivor Guest, a eaptain of yveomanry. The latter is the eldest son of Lord Wim- borne. He belonged to the Dorsetshire Yeomanry Cavalry, and members of Parliament in the Conserva- tive interest from Plymouth. Some officers have resigned from almost all of the fifteen battalions of the manry, Captain Lord Alwyn Frederick Compton among them. This raises a doubt as to whether the resignations are connected with the Lindley affair or are merely in the line of routine retirement, especially as a fortnight ago the Secre- tary of State for War, William St. John Broderick, announced in Parliament that the court-martial inquiry had entirely e: onerated from blame the lieutenan colgnel, Sprogge, and his regiment. A dispatch from Plymouth announces the arrival there of Major General Sir Henry Celville, whose resignation has been demanded by the War Office, but who has refused {o resign and has come to England from Gibraltar to demand a court-martial with reference to the re- sponsibility for the yeomanry disaster at Lindley last May.

GAMBLERS FIGHT IN A BARROOM One Is Dead, Another Dying and Two Are Slightly Wounded. PR R S Spectal Dispatch to The Call NEW YORK, Dec, %5.—One of the fiercest fights that the police of this city can re- call, which reads like a Jesse James story, occurred in Harlem early this morning. Four men were shot. One dled and another is dying. Two wounded men escaped and the police are looking for them. One man is under arrest and the dead man’s brother has sworn to kill the prisoner, who is accused of shooting him. Most of the men engaged in the fight are gamblers and ere known as characters. Prige, printer and bartender. Courtney, allas ““Stats,” was shot in the abdomen. Thomas H., Kennedy was shot in the leg. Edward McGinnes, alias Ed- ward McMullen, was shot in the left arm. Kennedy and McGinness cannot be found. The prisoner is Miles McDonnell, 51 years old, of City Island. He s well known as a gambler and as one of the most desperate characters in New York since the days of Porter and ‘‘Shang’ raper, He has a record, the police say, cutting a man's ear off and nailing it up in his gambling house; of beating Coungilman Sulzer; of thrashing a cab- an; of shooting the 1ecks off wine bot- Tes.” Tle1s said to have a beautiful wife and two pretty children. The shooting occurred in the Onawa Hotel, at One Hundred and Twenty-fifth street and Park avenue. McDonnell and two or three friends were drinking at the rear of the bar when Kennedy and se eral friends entered McDonnell and Ken- nedy were in partnership up to three months ago in a gambling-house, which was closed by police orders during the anti-vice crusade. Kennedy at the time charged McDonne!ll with withholding money and McDannell drew a revolver and would have killed Kennedy had not the latter's frienas borne McDonnell to the floor, taking his revolver away and then thrown him into the street. When Kennedy entered he walked u to McDonnell and asked him to talk wit him. Then the men sat down in a corner and talked for several minutes in a low tone. Soofi, however, their voices were raised. Kennedy suddenly took MeDon- nell by the collar and threw him on the floor. Friends of both rushed forward, revoivers were drawn, an excited man fired a shot and the fierce fight was on. Three bartenders dropped to the floor behind the bar just as the terrible fusillade was begun. Policeman Maher sald it sounded to him like a package of giant firecrackers. At least fifty shots were fired. McDon- nell arose from the floor, and, running be- hind the lunch counter, drew a revolver from each side pocket and fired. The men selected their opponents and ex- changed shots. In the midst of the fray, Courtney fell. The men's revolvers emptied, the shoot- stopped, and in a few seconds the police arrived. The combatants scattered. o e and McGinness tried to ollow. Policeman Maher drew his revolver and rushed into the saloon. He found Court- ney lying on the floor and the bartenders still Iying behind the bar._ Citizens plucked up cottege and picked up Courtney and pla a chair. Maher went on to search the lace. In the back was McDonnell, crouch- ng in a corner with his revolvers drawn ready to shoot any of his enemies. Maher covered him and to the ?olleeman‘s sur prise McDonnell rrump(y put up his ‘weapons. McDonnell was taken to the sta- 91"" house after being identified by his McDonnell's former residence is various- ly stated to have been at San Francisco, Butte, Mont., and Chicago. ‘Hartford Leaves Curacao.

But it does know that such contract has been made, and it also has had for its own part promises from the Turkish Govern- Tent that the claims shall be paid. So if the money comes through the Cramps it will be accepted, as the State Depart- ment recognizes the right of the Porte to select any messenger it may choose o transmit the money. - All that is neces- sary to make the transaction proper is that the fact shall clearly appear on the records that the money is paid by the Turkish Government to the Government of the United States, which will distrib- ute it among the claimants adjudged to be entitled to compensation.

GOOD REASON FOR IT. | { The Success and Popularity of the | New Catarrh Cure. The remarkable suc of the new catarrh Tablets, is largely because it not o cures catarrh, but because catarrh ferers who use these tablets know w they are taking into. their systems—no s cret is made of what they contain.
