WHY CHINA
DID NOT SIGN.
Responsibility for Refusal Put
os the Powers.
Pekin, April -3 -Thc Chinese
government has formally notified
Russia that China, owing to the atti?
tude of the powers, is not able to sign
the Manchurian convention.
**It is China's* desire," says the
formal notification, "to keep OD
friendly terms with ail nations. At
preseut she is going through a period
which is the most periloas in the
empire's history, and it is necessary
that she should cave the friendship
of all
"However ranch she might be will
ing to grant any special privilege to
one power, when others object, it is
impossible that, for the sake of oak
ing one nation friendiy she should
alienate the sympathies of ali others
Li Hang Chang says this latter
settles the matter definitely and tba?
Russia was informally notified to the
same effect March 29th
Prince Ching asserts that every
Chinaman except Li Hung Chang
was against signing the convention.
As soon as the generals of the
powers notify the ministers as to
what disposition is desired of articles
8 and 9 of the protocol, everything
will be practically concluded except
the indemnities, the only claims not
ready being the British, German and
Japanese The Germans say they
eau be ready io two days and th?
Japanese assert that they can be
ready at a moment's warning Pri
vate claims, however, can be filed
until May 14
A majority of the ministers are in
favor of making a general claim as
soon as the government claims are
in, making the allowances for a few
thousands for possible future claims,
although it is believed that all pri
vate claims are now filed
Li Hung ChaDg and Prince Ohing
have sent to the court for approval a
list of names presented by the min
isters of the powers for punishment
The death list has been reduced to
four names for degradation and to 91
for loss of office. No objection is anti
cipated as the meo are only promi
uent in local communities

PROSPECTIVE CHANGES
HAY MAY BE TUE j
ONE TO GO.
Washington, April 3.-Some rather
surprising information has been priofed
recently by Mr McFarland, corrrespon
dent of The Boston Herald and com
missioner of the District of Columbia,
to which latter post he was recently
appointed by President McKinley,
without any solicitation on his part
As a commissioner of the district is
just about what a mayor is io other
cities, it will be seen thai: Mr McFar
land, who bas beeo known as a person
al friend nf che president, should be in
a position to obtain inside information
of muon importance Moreover, as
neither Mr McFarland oor any ether
reputable Washington newspaper man
will print any news given to him cor S
dentiaily, it follows that the particular
information referred to must ha7e been
imparted with full permisiiioo to make
use of it All of which is calculated
tn make the public think thoughts.
"While Attorney General Griggs/'
savs Mr McFarland, "will be th:? 'only
cabioet officer to resign at thn time
there may be other retirements later."
It is f-uggested thai Secretary Hay may
?ive up the pecretaryshio of ?tato, and
that Secretary of War Roo? wil? theo
become secrefary of state, Pos?master
General Smith bei?? made secretary o'
i war., und Private Secretary Corteiyoo
j being promoted to postmaater general
: . Or." says Mr McFarland, ,fit i? not
i improbable that, should Secretary Rzy
I decide to remain in the cabioet. Mr
Smith may re?'re to his editorial duties
ard thus create the vacancy At al!
events, Mr McKinley has Mr Cor:s!yoa
in roiod for a cabioet position, and v is
! his indention to make him one cr his
cabioet councilors should tbe opportu
ni-y offer "
Io firs Mr McKinley would bo fol?
lowing the precedent of Pretsident
Cleveland whose private secretary cur
mg bis first term, Daniel Lamont, was
made secretary of war in the second
administration Then, too, Mr Cortel
you bas served in the post rffice acd is
probably well enough qualified for the
position He might even make as good
a secretary of state as John Hay, whose
retirement would cause co surprise
He has woefully failed to measure up
to the retirements of the office, and
even snch a stanch R?publican as Tbe
New York Soo has attacked him with
agument, sarcasm and ridicule. The
oniy trouble is how to get rid of Ha
gracefully If the president finds a way
to let him go without humiliation at li?
very probable that it will be done, both
the president and the country profiting
thereby
Some time ago there wau printed in
this correspondence ao account of ho?
the government bad sold at a les? of
more thao $800.000 five vest?s bought,
by it from certain favored individu ?>
during the war with Spain There is
DOW another scandalous charter to be
added to that scandalous story, coocerc
ing the futile efforts of the government
to sell for $40,000 the army transport
Terry, whioh cost it $150.000.
The Terry proved to be a bai bargain
for the government from the firm.
Though purchased, as stated, at a cost
of $150,000 and fitted aod repaired at
ao ezoeoee of more than $25,000, she
has twice been advertised for sale
without takers The highest bid rs
ceived as a result of the first advertise
ment was $16,000, which was rejeoted,
and DO bids whatever were received in
consequence of the second advertise
ment.
The problem cow before the depan;
meat is whether to give the Terry away,
as one army officer jocularly pat it, or
attempt to find employment for a vessel
that is useless for government purposes.
Ao officer of the voluoteer quarter
master's department, who was sent to
Coba immediately on the outbreak of
the war with Spain, is said So have
cabled to the secretary of war that the
quartermaster's department of Cube,
badly needed a transport drawing les?
than 10 feet to convey troops and sup
plies to aod from the several Coban
ports. Ao ageot of the department
picked out the Terry, of the New York
and New Haven line. Before purcha6
ing the ship Quartermaster Gen Lud
dingtoo had an icspection mad? by a
board of army officers, whose names
are withheld and wbo fixed the price
paid The Terry was altered for the
Cohan service at a cost of about $25,
000 Now she cannot be seid for even
the cost of her repairs Yet the :
department contends that her purchase
was et tirely honest

carrying on this war the Anglo
Australian is now loading at this port
with munitions of war, namely mules
and horses to the number of 1 200 ;
that the steamer is employed in the
military service o? the king of Great
j Britain ; that for some time defend
! ants have been forwarding from this
port such munitions cf war, knowing
that these munitions and the &hip
were in the miliiary service of Great
Britain, and that they were to be
used against the people of the South
African republic and the Orange
Free State ; that defendants are mak
ing use of New Orleans as a basis of
military operations of Great Britain
in its war in South Airica, and to
augment its military supplies and
arms ; that by the use of these muni
tions the armies of Great Britain are
laying wa9te and destroying the farms
and homea of petitioners and holding

Samuel Pearson ; that Samuel Pear
son bas already suffered the destroc
tion and less of property to the value
of $90,000, and is threatened with

finally, that the war can be carried on
by Great Britain only through the
renewal of its military supplies from
this port, and that when these sup?
plies cease the war must end.
In consideration of these state
ments an injunction is asked to pro

King Edward's Salary,
London, April 4 -The report of
the committee appointed to consider
changes io the civil list recommends
tbat the new civil list be fixed at
about ?470,000. as follows :
Privy purse ?110,000 ; salaries of
household aod retired allowances,
?125,000; expenses of household,
$193,000 ; works, ?20,000; royal
bounty, alms and special services,
?13,000; and sundries, ?8,000
The report recommends an annuity of
?20,000 to the duke of Cornwall and
York and ?6.000 to each of the
king's daughters. The queen's
annuity, in the event of her surviv
ing the king, is increased to ?70 000
and an annuity of ?30 000 is provid
ed for the duchess of Cornwall and
York in the event of her surviving
the duke
The proposals for the civil list
show a net increase of ?67,000
Mr Labouchere, the sole signatory
of the minority report, thinks that no
increase is necessary. In a piquant
paragraph he says :
"The committee did not deem it
within the scope of their inquiry to
consider whether a continuance of
the pomp of pride and ceremony of
the court is desirable Suggestions
have been rife that the cost of living
has gone up among the wealthier

FRASER, WALLACE
AND WITHERSPOON.
Greenville Bar Honors Their
Memories.
Saturday afternoon the members of
the bar held a meeting ?D the court
house in honor of Judges Wallace,
Fraser aud Witherspoon, and there
was a very fail attendance Judge
Benet was presiding, and when the
time was indicated by bim, Don T.
Q. Donaldson presented a series of
resolutions in respect to the death of
Judge Wm H. Wallace of Urn'ora.
He was followed by Capt A Blythe,
who submitted a tribute to Judge L
D Witherspoon. Mr fl J. Hayna
worth then offered resolutions in
regard to the death of Judge Thos
B Fraser. These tributes were
couched io beautifol and appropriate
language, and faithfully portrayed
the lives and character of the emi
neut jurists who have passed away
so near to each other
Messrs Donaldson, Blythe aDd
Haynsworth supplemented their trib?
utes with feeling and pertinent re
marks, and they were followed by M.
F Ansel, B M Shaman, J A Mc
Coliough, W N Graydon, J H.
Hey ward and John H. Eirle Mr
Graydon is a visiting member of the
bar, and made a very happy effort.
The local members all sustained
themselves admirably, and it was a
most striking fact that each speaker
pointed oct distinctive features in
the life or character of the deceased
judges, showing that there wa9 a
wealth of material from which to
draw in their history Several of
them alluded to the remarkable coin
cidence that they were engaged in
memorial services in honor of three
men of note, not only in the profes?
sion, but io ail walks of life, and
especially that Wallace, Witherspoon
and Fraser bad borne conspicuous
though different parts in the redemp
tion of the State from alien rule and
bad then beeu chosen to rehabilitate
the judiciary
Mr H J Haynsworth said this
was an unusual occasion, for the
members of the bar to pay tributes
upon the death of three men whose
names have adorned the pages of
South Carolina history They were
all leaders of men, each in his own
way, but recognized as euch by the
people among whom they lived and
labored They were ready to sacri
fice ambition aDd as servants of the
State they were honored by their
fellow citizens with universal respect
and confidence, which is better than
the honor of holding office The
speaker knew Judge Fraser from his
own childhood, and was taught to
love and respect him He was
honest, modest and true in every
relation of life, and every man,
woman and child in Sumter county
loved and honored the perfect gentle
man and upright citizen He Dever
feared to do his duty, but he was
kindly to all Judge Fraser knew
the law, the principles of right and
wrong, and he sought to apply them
in the administration of bis judicial
office He was not & brilliant lawyer
oor a shining light, but a trae maa iq
aDy position he was placed-Green

Heavy rain fell before the 6torm came
