Some of these related to the hymn book question. protesting for the most. partacainst the hastv adoption of a new book.

CARNIVAL IN LONDON. Populace Rejoidof Over the Relief of Mafekloz Demonstration at Resi dence of Bsdeo-Powell. By Cable to the Morning star. London, May 19. London to-night is in a state of high carnival, so far as . the leading thoroughfares are con cerned. Colonel Baden-Powell's house, which faces Hyde Park, was all day the centre of scenes which must have ; been extremely gratifying to his family, who constantly appeared on the balcony to bow their acknowledge- ; ments. In addition there was a con : tinuous stream of carriages bringing : visitors, leaving cards of congratola tion. When the -art students' procession, which was 'of great length, having been joined by many members of the best families, stopped in front of the house, the hero's mother and sister came to the window, evidently greatly moved. His sister fetched a large oil portrait of the colonel, wreathed in laurels, and placed it conspicuously on the balcony. When the storm of cheers ceased for a moment, the colonel's mother briefly addressed the crowd, expressing her heartfelt thanks . to the demonstrators. At about this time a beautifully ap pointed equipage drove along, in which there were three ladies, each completely attired in one of the national colors, red, white and blue. There must have been millions of flags sold during the day. The whole city was covered with them. There was little other attempt at decoration, but the effect is altogether novel to Londoners. To-night, although the excitement increases in its .intensity and the crowds are hourly thickening, until it is almost impossible to pass through the streets, the scenes of the Queen's jubilee are quite eclipsed. A cab or even a seat on a, bus is unobtainable. IN VIRGINIA PENITENTIARY. Desperate Negro Convict Cot the Throat of Another Ner.ro Prisoner, Caus ing Instant Death. By Telegram to the Horning Star. - Richmond, Va., May 19. William Woodson, a negro convict in the peni tentiary, this morning, about 8:30 o'clock, cut the throat of Ambrose Fere bee, another negro convict, caus ing death within an hour. Last night Woodson had a difficulty in his cell with a convict of the name of Jim Jones, the latter beating Wood son, who grabbed a brick. This was taken away from him by Fere bee and a negro named Montgomery. This morning all the men marched into the shoe shop to do their duties. Ferebee had a few minutes leisure and was reading his testament when Wood son grabbed a knife from one of the benches, crept up behind Ferebee, caught him around the neck, pulled his head back and cut his throat from ear to ear. Woodson, as soon as he had slashed Ferebee, ran through the shop to where Jim Jones was employed and made a vicious lunge at the prisoner, which Jones dodged. He was then overpowered.

Three very tireA Hnr envovs stood up "all theJ morning in their apartments at the Arlington, shaking hand with a con stant stream of visitors, acquiescing in the numerous requests and sugges tions of the Washington committee, and cautiously parrying the rapid fire of inquiries from a small army of newspaper correspondents. Mr. Fischer, as usual, was the spokesman of the party, talking in excellent English. Commissioner Fischer talked quite freely with the correspondents and emphasized his wish to be as frank as possible without giving offence to the American government. "We are playing a wholly unaccus tomed role as diplomats," said he, "and we must be careful. It has been sug gested to us since we reached America that we have hurt our chances with the State Department by accepting the hospitality of the several committees that have welcomed us.

II we oe lieved there would be a word uttered there for factional or political purposes we should not attend, but we have been assured it is merely a friendly. welcome." Asked what were the nature of the commission's credentials Mr. Fischyer replied : "They are from our government and we believe are ample to enable us, through the good omces or a friendly government, to stop the bloodshed that is going on in our home country. Further than that 1 would not like to discuss them." Want an Honorable Peace. Regarding the terms of peace on which he thought peace possible, Mr. Fischer said: "We have not come with any hard and fast proposition. but we believe an honorable peace is possible and we believe the United States is the one country so situated as to be able to bring it about," "Would the recent victories of the British in South Africa have any effect on the terms you would be willing to accept?" he was asked, "Possibly," he replied, "yet that is a matter that I can't discuss now." When asked if he expected to see any of the representatives of Great Britain in Washington, he said : "We may possibly. We shall not go after them, but we should be glad to talk to any fair-minded Englishman. for if the English people had known the truth in the South African situa tion this war never would have been begun." "Will the Transvaal entertain any peace proposals that recognize the suzerainty of England?" he asked. "if England wants suzerainty over the republics." he replied, "she will have to come and take it" ' His two tall swarthy companions nodded as sent. The Diplomatic Representative. Col.

San Francisco, May; 19. The Board of Health has adopted a resolu tion declaring that bubonic plague exists in San Francisco. The health authorities say that while there are, no living cases here, there have been Bix deaths during the past three months, and they have decided to take precau tions against the development and spread of the disease. i i A force of physicians to-day went through Chinatown to treat Chinese with Haffkine prophylactic as a pre ventative against the plague.

Assistant Surgeon Amesse. of De troit, it was announced, has left De troit for Honolulu on a similar mis sion. Trouble With Chinese. When it became known in China town that the Board of Health had de termined to inoculate the residents of the Chinese section, groups of Chinese gamerea on every corner ana ue nounced the action of the board as outrageous. Some of the more wealthy of the indignant Chinese hurried their families into hacks and other vehicles in the attempt to send them out of the district Some succeeded in getting as far as the city limits where they were stopped by the police, tuners at tempted to leave the city on trains. Several merchants endeavored to ob tain passage on the steamer America Maru which sailed for the Orient to-day, but there was no room for them on the steamer. The doctors de tailed to inoculate the Chinese are having- a verv hard time of it every pos sible obstacle being placed in their way by the Chinese. The consul gen eral is co-operating with the board of health as much as possible, but several demonstrations among the Chinese have caused him to keep quiet in the matter. He has urged his people re peatedly to subor it to the demands of the board. Yesterday a small mob surrounded the consulate and stoned the buildings. This action resulted in a detachment of police being detailed to protect the consulate. Dr. Vincent EL Buckley, a member of the , board of health, stated to-day that there have been no deatns as a re sult of inoculations, a bulletin posted in Chinatown to the contrary notwitn standing. Dr. Buckley stated that unless the Chinese submit to the operations, a corps of police or soldiers will sur round Chinatown and no one but those supplied with a proper certificate will be allowed to pass through the lines. Dr. Buckley stated that while the heads of the Six Companies seemed willing to co-operate with the board. so far their efforts to influence their countrymen had not proven a success.
