C., March 1.—Further| pdrticulars were received by the steamer Ling, which arrived from the Orient | of the revolutionary movement overed at Hongkong, where a num- ber of rebels were arrested and boats laden with arms and uniforms were seized. Several hundred recrults were raised in Hongkong and several thousand ‘orms. quantities of arms, ammunition, canned provisions and food supplies had been dispatched to Canton. The rebels had arranged to rise at a signal on Jan- jary 28, at the bezinning of the New Year celebration, and waylay and murder the mandarins and high officials. Fires were to be started in various parts of Canton and the treasury sacked. The British gunboats Britomarl and Morhen went at once {o Canton when the plot was discovered. To ald in the sack of Canton, a force of rebels under Colonel Chon were hidden at a small city not far distant ready to march on Canton when the =ignal was given. The gates of Can- have beéen kept closed since the in- tended uprising and numbers of arrests and summary executions have taken place. Colonel Dogherty of the British lezation at Peking has arrived at Canton to make a report to his Government on the Kwangsi rebellion. The latest news of this rebellion shows that it has spread all over the province. Piracy is also on the increass on the West River, the big waterway of that province, and three new launches with European officers have been ordered to patrol the river. The Pak Ling brought details of the famine which ie devastating five prefec- tures in the northern part of Japan. There are in all 150.000 persons completely desti- tute and many deaths are reported from starvation. LONDON STOCK MARKET SHOWS AN IMPROVEMENT LONDON, March 1.—The stock market closed last week in a happier frame of mind than for a long time. The public are entering the market with confidence because of the feeling that there will be no trouble in the Far East and on ac- count of more peaceful reports from the other troubled sections of the world. Business was limited. Americans were neglected and dull, the list with few ex- ceptions showing quotations below the closing prices of the previous week. The depression in consols continued. Altogether, while there was no great vol- ume of business, the general indications ton | current year than was anticlpated. BERLIN, March L—Business on the Boerse last week was without any strik- ing features. While values were generally firm, speculation in the Macedonian out- lock and the money situation in London and New York was the prime influencing features. The annual statements of the great joint stock banks continue to be published and do not satisfy the exag- gerated expectations of the market. | Hence there were heavy realization sales, which had the effect of depressing quota- | tions.

FOWLER'S BILL MAY PAGS HOUSE Committee on Currency Reports Favorably on Measure. WASHINGTON, March 1.—The House Committes on Banking and Currency by a vote of 7 to 2—a strict party vote—au- thorized a favorable report on the cur- rency bill introduced yesterday by Rep- resentative Fowler, chairman of the com- mittee. In reporting the bill the commit- tee says: In addition te providing for the issuing and circulation of bank notes the object of this measure iz to put back Into circulation any money the Government me- collect through its | point to a brighter condition during the | customs receipts as well as through its collec- tions from internal revenue. The availeble cash balance now in the Treas- ury is $222,468,878. Of this amount there is now in national bank depositories $150 472,424, Jeaving & net balance in the Treasur of $71.- 454 e amount of money now in _the Treasury available for all purposes is $71.994.- 454, from which amount, if we deduct fifty mii- lionis as a necessary working balance for the Treasury, we shall have only$21,904,454 to meet the demand on the Treasury growing out of the Panama transaction, which will call for fifty million dollars. It is therefore evident that sither the Government must at once call for $28,000,000 from the banks, or, appropriating $50,000,000 from the amount now in the Treas- ury, leaving a working balance of only about $22,000,000, which must be supplanted byycol- Established 1823.

It is there- fore evident thai the Government will not have any additional money to deposit with the na- tional banks for the next six or eight months, indeed, it shall have collected as much as $30.000,000 within that time The amount now deposited with national banks is $143,111,688, for which the Govers ment holds Government bonds as securit amounting to about $125,000,000 and about $22,000,000 of other bonds. The measure now submitted provides that the Government may depogit any public woney, including this o hundred and forty-threa millions, with n tional banks, in no case exceeding in amount 75 per cent of the pald up and unimpaired capital of any national bank, without exacting Government or othen bonds,’ but the Govern- ment shall have a first llen upon the assets of such bank and shall receive interest on such depositss at the rate of 2 per cent per annum, payable semi-annually on the first days of January and July. Tt will be seen that the effect of this provision Will be, with- in the next few months, say certainly within & year, to releass the total amount of bon now deposited to secure Government deposi viz., $125.000,000 of Government bonds and $22,000,000 of State and other bonds, now held by the treasury, in addition therefo, as se- curity for such deposits. The bonds so re. leased may then be used by the banks for further increasing their bond-secured circula- tion, which will undoubtedly be much needed during the coming fall months. It is clear that the plan proposed ds per- fectly safe, and that If the rate ofinterest has been 3 per cent and the accounts were brought down to date the amount that the Government would have received during the past twenty-four years had the bill reported Dbeen in operation would have been nearly and the Government would not cent. have lost G o rnment should cease to be a dis- turbing factor in our business affairs. It was this thought that moved your committee to fix the rate of interest instead of allowing it to become a variable quantity, to be in- creased or decreased at the pleasure of the Secretary, & circumstance that must neces- sarily result in intense rivalry, bitter criti- cism” and constantly subject the treasury to endless scandal. The Payne bill was not called up in the committee to-day. The friends of the new Fowder bill will urge its adoption in- stead of the Aldrich bill, should. that measure come over from the Senate, and also instead of the Payne bill. Towler introduced a resolution to-day providing for a rule for consideration of the bill reported to-day. This resolution was referred to the Committee on Rules. Church Work Contributions Large. LONDON, March 1—Figures compiled from the Church of England’s voluntary offerings show that no less than $41,085,000 was raised in 1902, $4,105,000 of which went to foreign and $3,000,000 to home missions. Comment has been created by the de- crease in the contributions to home mis- sions and the Increase of $1,250,000 in the amount devoted to fabrics and fittings. ————— One of the new engfnes for the Cape railway is to be christened Dewet.

A general staff { corps has been provided for the United | States army, prepare plans for the defense of the coun- | try and of the United States in times of war, as | | | well as to render professional aid to the| | Secretary of War and the general offi- | cers of the army. This measure was pro- posed by the Secretary of War. The mili- | tia bill, introduced by Dick of Ohio and which pdssed the House during the first | session, passed the Senate during this ses | sion and has become a law. This act pro- | ! vides for the general organization of the ! available when its services may be re- | quired by the Government.

MANY PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS. The sundry civil bill, soon to become a law, makes appropriations for carrying forward river and harbor work and Fed- eral building construction, while the omni- bus public building bill now pending authorizes a large number of new build- ings throughout the United States. The anarchy bill, providing for the pro- tection of the President, has passed the House and the conferees have agreed upon it. The bankruptcy law was amended and a number of bills affecting the public lands were passed. In addition a large number of bills of interest to different lo- calities have been passed, together with a considerable number of private pension bills. A new bullding to cost $1,500,000 has been authorized for the Department of Agriculture. Among the acts of the Fifty-seventh Congress which were ad- dressed at this session were the following: Authorizing the construction of an isth- mian canal; providing civil government for the Philippines; providing revenue for the Philippines; extending the Chinese ex- cluslon laws; repealing the war taxes; ex- tending charters of national banks; creat- ing a permanent census bureau; providing a system for the irrigation of the arid lands in the West, and providing a con- sular and diplomatic service for Cuba. Five of the general appropriation bills have been signed by the President, and | two_others, finally passed both houses. With one or | two exceptions all the others have been sent to conference. Those approved are the pension, the legislative, executive and ! judicial and thediplomatic and consular and two urgent deficiency bills. Those in conference are the District of Columbia, the agricultural, the Military Academy, postoffice, sundry civil, naval and fortifi- cations bills. Owing to the difference between the fig- | ures in the bills as passed by the House | and as amended by the Senate it is diffi- ' cult at this time to give an estimate of the aggregate of the appropriations car- ried by the general bills.

Makes Damaging Statements in a Most Matter of Fact Way. SIS HAMILTON, Ohio, March 1—Alfred Knapp was to-day visited by Herman Littleman of Cincinnati, father of little Emma Littleman, the victim of Knapp's first murder in Cincinnati. Littleman was unable to identify Knapp as any man whom he had ever seen or knew. The most significant feature of the in- terview was the fact that for the first time Knapp expressed some remorse and showed signs of breaking down before the enraged father. Littleman stood out- side the cell and after_he looked at Knapp sald: “I have never seen this man. I do not care to look at him any more."” Knapp said: “I am just as sorry as can be *hat little Emma is dead. She had | eyes and hair like yours.” As Littleman turned away tears stood n Knapp's eyes. This was his first demonstration in that wav. The prisoner was in better health to- | the last hours, but the number will be day and he passed the Sabbath quietly. Judge Belden said to-day that he had | not been asked to call a special Grand Jury and that there might be none, as the courts were very busy now. While convicted of minor offenses, Knapp was never charged with capital offenses until his brother-in-law last wee started an investigation. With all the charges of incendiarism, robbery and other crimes it is conceded that his predomi- nant triat is that of brutality. terms in penitentiaries were for assault: The officers say he lured his victims to secluded spots before strangling them and that his deliberation is shown in his efforts to evade detection. In jail Knapp mingles freely with other prisoners, eats well, sleeps well and talks | cheerfully and freely to all visitors. The most damaging statements he makes with a manner as matter of fact as the ordi- nary man is when he tells of any common occurrence. Knapp does not e tobacco in anv form and was not known as a drinker. not allowed to see newspapers. card playing with oth He enjoy r prisoners.
