BALLOT REFORM
IN MARYLAND.
Law Disfranchising 50,000 Il?
literate Voters Passes Both
Houses.
Annapolis, Md. March 20 -The
new election bili, having for its
object the practica! disfranchisement
of moat of the 50,000 illiterate voters
of the State, passed the senote short
ly after midday It was immediately
sent to the boase, where all the
amendments made by the senate
were concurred in, aod the bili
passed.
It is now ready for tba governor's
Signatare.
The final passage of the bill waa
marked by the otter absence- of any?
thing of a sensational character. In
the senate bot ooo protest was en?
tered which came in the form of a
speech from Senator Dodson, Repub?
lican, who characterized the entire
proceedings aa a blot opon the fair
name and honor of the State. The
final vote waa ll to 14, a strict party
division. -
In a qoarter of an boor after pass?
ing the senate the bill waa before the
boase, where ita consideration was
immediately began. Ooe by one the
senate's amendments were taken np
and concurred in without division
Then it was put apon its final pass
age with no attempt at delay upon
the part of the .minorty, except a
motion to allow them one boor to
consider the amendmets. This was
promptly voted down, and the bill
was passed by a vote of 52 to 28,
the Democrats having six votes more
than- tbe majority required by the
constitution Five Democrats voted
with the Republicans
The most important change in
existing methods accomplished by
tb* enactment of the new law lie* in
depriving illiterate votera of the
assistance of ballot clerks in prepar
ing their ballots. Under the previous
practice these clerks accompanied
such voters into the boothe and
marked their ballots for them, or
showed them how to do it. The
Democrats claim that this practice
utterly destroyed the secrecy of the
ballot end made it possible for cor
ruptioniets to learn through signals
from the ballot clerks whether bar?
gains made with corrupt votera had
been carried oat The arrangement
of the names on the ballots ba? been
altered so that the candidates for
each office are grouped instead of
being arranged in groups according
to tbe party they represent. Party
emblema are abolished and other
changes made which make the new
law very nearly similar to that in
existence in Massachusetts
The effect of the law is, of coarse,
largely a matter of conjecture, and
one upon which the party leaders
widely differ The Democrat? ex?
pect that it will disfranchise about
32.000 negroes and perhape 16.000
white voters wbo cannot read or
write. Of these, it is estimated, al)
the negroes and about 50 per cent of
the whites vote the Republican tick
et With these ont of the way the
State will be safely Democratic for
many years to come and the im
mediate result will be the election
of a Democratic State legislature
oext fall aod of a Democrat to sue
ceed United States Senator Welling
too io 1902
The active interest taksn by Sena
tor Gorman in the passage of the bill
leaves no doubt of bis candidacy for
the senatorship in the event that the
effect of the new law is as the Demo?
crats expect it to be.

Japs May Fight Russia.
Japan Determined to Oppose
the Cossacks Advance.
London, March 22 -The foreign
office takes a pessimistic view of the
immediate future in the far east, io
spite of the settlement of the Tien
Tain incident, and entertains grave
fears that the relations between
Japan and Kassia may shortly reach
the danger point
Judging from information obtained
in various official quarters in London,
Japan has confided to at least nome
of the powers her determination to
oppose at all costs any secret agree
ments made between Russia and
China by which the former could
secure territorial or other advantages
contiguous to Korea j
The British government baa re?
ceived no official confirmation that
the Japanese fleet is mobilizing, bot
it would not be surprised to learn
that snch were the facta. A highly
placed British official said to ti re?
presentative of the Associated Press
today : "Ali Japan wants is a free
band against Russia This she has
got so far as England and Germany
are concerned, and, I presume, so
far as the United States government
m concerned ; although I do not
imagine for one moment that any of
the powers mentioned would be
drawn into a war between Japan and
Rossis. If Japan sees nothing for it
bot to fight, she would have tbe moral
support of objections committed to
paper by at least two others powers
against secret treaties with China.
That is all ; but Japan seems to con?
sider it sufficient to provide against
interference."
Confirmation of the foregoing defi?
nition of the situation was afforded
by the secretary of the Japanese
legation, who said in the coorse of an
interview :
"While rejoicing at the fact that
England and Russia have reached a
pacific settlement over the minor
issue, the main question-the inte?
grity of the Chinese empire-remains
unsettled. In response to pressure
brooght by Japan upon Russia, it
was annooooed that Kassia's secret
treaties with China had been modi
Sed, bot the terms have been with*
held Until we see tbe treaties we
will not be satisfied that the modifica?
tion does not consist of words mere
ly, without any alteration in the
spirit In'this contention we believe
other powers will support os 99
It appears that Great Britain would
be quite willing to refer the whole
Manchuria matter to arbitration on
the lines of The Hague conference
The Tien Tsin siding affair is not
considerde important enough to be
disposed of io this way, and it will
immediately become a matter of
diplomatic interchange between St.
Petersborg aod London.
DARING UNDERTAKING.
Gen Ftmston Goes to Attempt
Aguinaldo's Capture.
Manila, Maren 23 -Geo Fonsteu is
now engaged ie a daring projeet which
promises to be the greatest aod most
romantic achievement of bis eventful
career. In January, from his hiding
place io tba provioce of Cabella, Agni
oaldo wrote letters anathematizing tbe
sub chiefs, who had taken the oat h of
allegiance to the United States. Later,
Aguinaldo ordered certain insurgent
forces in Southern Lazon to join him at
a rendezvous io Cabella proviooe. The
rebel offioer entrusted with l.ke*e
orders secretly negotiated with the
Americans On scouring necessary
information, Geo Funstoo planned
Aguinaldo capture, and, with Gen
MacArthur's authorization, proceeded
two weeks ago to make the attempt.
Geo Fuoston. with Surgeon Major
Harris, Major Newton of the Twenty

that Aguinaldo's emissaries, with tbe
oative seoats, shoold pass themselves
off as ioiurgsBt troops who, hnviog

taking thea as prisoners to Aguinaldo.
At tbe right time, .when brooght before
Aguinaldo, Gea Fuostoa was to give a
signal, wbea the tables vas to be
seized. Six days' march into the
