War talk heard on very side and the tragedy that has been expected for weeks seems to be at hand.

PEKING, Jan. 4—The Dowager press has issued another edict displaying a desire to conciliate foreigners. She says friendly relations with the Ministers should be resumed immediately on the court’s return to Peking., wherefore it is desirable that the Emperor grant an audi- ence and order-that an early date be fixed | reception of the Ministers. Her Maj recalls the pleasure she expe- | rienced twice in receiving the ladies of the diplomatic_corps, and announces that she will soan arrange another reception. The edict mentions the hall in which the Emperor will receive the Ministers. It is in the Forbidden City, and is the same hall where the members of the council and the highest nobles are received. This conforms with the peace treaty. It is reported that a building along the route of the procession will be provided Upon the County Jail to Release the Aleged Leaders of the Lookout Mnob whom warrants | making his con- | WELL LEARNED Attack May Be Made | fession. Hutton swears that he was a | member of the mob of lynchers, and, be- | sides the thirteen men for whom warrants were jssued yesterday, he is said to have | implicated others. It has been reported the Claude Morris also had confessed. This is denied by Morris, who this morn- ing told his mother that he made no statement to the attorneys for the prose- cution and that. he had no statement whatever to make, as he had told all that he knew when he was on the stand in court. Mrs. Morris walked up and acwn the corridor of the Grand Central | Hotel all last night, begging to see her | son. He was returning from his home in Lookout last night on the Adin and Al: turas stage. A short distance below the town he was taken from the stage and put into a covered wagon by three men supposed to be detectives and driven about until dark and then brought to the Grand Central. The entire night was spent in trying to get him to make a statement, but he declares the attempt was unsuccessful. John Hutton has been unaer surveillance in a room in the Grand Central Hotel for the past two and a half days. It is be- | lieved that the Grand Jury will return | seventeen indictments as a result of Hut- ton’s testimony. | Where the foreign l1gdies may witness the | court’s re-entry into Peking by order of | the Dowager Empress. This is'a remark- | able innovation. 2 To-day’s edict confirms the report that two missionarics were victims in the Kaanan massacre, and orders the vigor- ous punishment of the persons concerned in the outrage. | 'The Foreign Office has received a peti- | tion signed by a_multitude of Chinese | | merchants in the United States request- | ing the Government to oppose the re-en- | actment of the Chinese exclusion law. | The petitioners assert that the best people | in_the United States are opposed to the w, and that only the coterie surround- | ing President Roosevelt favor it; that all | Chinese entering the country are regard- ed and treated as criminals; that both sexes are stripped and examined for dis- ease, and that the feelings of the re- spectable Chinese are outraged by the or- | deal, and it is further alleged that many delicate persons have died as the result of this treatment. The proposed measure to prohibit Chi- nese from crossing the United States in order to enter Mexico and South America, where many of them Lave large interests, will greatly damage trade, it is declared. Decides Socrates Mine Case. SANTA ROSA. Jan. 4—Judge Albert G. | | Burnett to-day filed an opinion in the Soc- 1 rates mining case. The action was one to quiet title. The decision of the court is that the plaintifft. F. A. Huntington, is entitled to 962} feet, the Carr Realty Company to 750 feet; John Lloyd, as as- signee of John A. Robinson, to 150 feet; and Defendant Troop to 200 feet. The.suit grew out of complications arising through nimerous transfers made during the past twenty years, when the property was considered of little value. OF BRAbSHAL.

As they marched down the street from the jail to Stewart’s Hall, where the court was to be held, not a word was spoken, though the streets were lined with people. At- torney John E.

CERMANY TRIES " GENTLE WORDS New Note to Venezuela Conveys-No Fearful Threats. BERLIN, Jan. 4—Herr ven Pilgrim Baltazzi, the German Charge d"Affaires at Caracas., handed President Castro a fresh note on Thursday reciting in simple language what Germany desires Vene- zuela to do respecting all her clalms and the guestions in dispute. An officlal «f the Foreign Office states that the new note is so phrased that no possible offense can be taken. It contains no suggestion of an ultimatum and no time limit fos compliance with the terms of the note is named, though in presenting it the Charge d'Affaires asked fon an early re- ply. The object of the note is to afford President Castro an opportunity of yleld- ing gracefully and it conveys no intima- tion of what Germany will do if Vene- zuela refuses to pay the German claims.

A R tiia Spectal Disatch to The Call NEW YORK, Jan. 4—A cablegram to- day from General Vargas Santos, chief of the Cclombian rebellion, to Dr. A. J. Restrepo, dipiomatic agent of the rebels in this country, announces that General Rafael Uribe-Uribe had effected an ‘en-~ trance into Colombia from Venezuela. For some time General Uribe-Uribe has been at Tachira. Venezuela, with an army of 2000 men. He has tried time and again to get past the Colombian Government forces - but always without success. In these attempts he was assisted by troops of the Venezuelan army. He has now ac- complished his end witn a force com- pesed only of Colombian Liberals. En- trance was gained into the Department of Santander and it is expected that there will be severe fighting soom. Other advices recelved by Dr. Restrepo are that the insurgents under Geueral Ardilla have captured the city of Buen- caramanga, which is one of the most important towns in the country and the capital of Santander. Another attempt to take Panama is now being planned by the insurgents. The news is confirmed that their fleet, consisting_of the gunboats Darlen, Pa- dilla and Gaitan and a few sailing vessels carrying cargoes of war material, are in the vicinity of the isthmus. It Is even | reported that some of these have already been landed. General Benjamin Herrera is_the commander of this expedition. Dr. Restrepo said to-day that in a few days he expected to hear of the renewal of hostilities at Panama.

The Tage- latt says: ““The phrase, ‘America for Americans,” is_an irreversible fact.” Some_ newspapers, like the Cologne Volks Zeitung, a leading Centrist organ, see in_Germany’s,consultation with the United States an Unnecessary recognition of the latter’s “pretensions on Central America,” and the paper last named avers that the representations of the Ger- man_ Embassador, Dr. von Holleben, at Washington, were followed by a “fresh outbreak of insolence upon the part of the American press.” Professor Frank Parsons of Boston is here. ~After studying the industrial con- ditions of thirty-six European cities he found in all countries some apprehension that the United States is likely to under- sell in all the open markets. He says Austria especially Is feeling insecure, so much so: that gmeat manufacturers and financiers are unwilling to contribute capital for new ventures except in smull amounts, as the United States is fixing prices of rubber goods, bicycles, soaps, photographic materials and several lines of machinery. Almost equal concern regarding Ameri- can competition exists in Italy, but in Germany Professor Parsons finds that the manufacturers feei able to take caré of themselves. The thing here that aston- ishes Professor Parsons most is the health and good spirits of the men who are working sixteen and seventeen hours daily for sixty and sixty-five cents per day, under conditions which would not be_tolerated in America.
