St. Johns, N. P., January 2 The
British steamer Ivydene, Captain Mil

in the bosts until this forenoon, trying
to reach the laud amid a blinding storm
and in a freezing wind.. All were
thoroughly exhausted and some were
frost bitten. - .
The steamers Io graham and 'Ethie
have gone to the wreck, which is
about eight miles from a telegraph

made public the annual financial state
ment of the liquor dispensary system.
An exact1 comparison with former
years cannot be made, as the fiscal
year 1900 comprised merely the .first

the heaviest trade month of the year,
the sales for 1900 amounted to 12,481,

entire year 1899. For tne twelve
months of 1900 the increase will be a
million dollars.

THE RATHBUN POISONING.
By Cable to the Morning Star.
Cape Town, January 2. The Brit
ish battleship Monarch will land guns
to-morrow as a precautionary measure.
The situation is undoubtedly serious.
It is true that the Dutch have not
joined the invaders in any consider
able numbers, but a lack of arms is
believed to be the true reason for ab
stention. In many places horses are
freely offered and information readily
supplied to the Boers.
The early proclamation of martial
law in the Cape Town division is ex
pected. This division does not include
Cane Town itself.
The latest reports show the situation
to be generally as follows: Euruman,
if still uninvested, probably soon will
be. Griqualand West is filled with
small parties of Boers who are work
ing south toward Prieska, for the pur
pose of co-operating with or support
ing Commandant Hertzog, whose, ad
vance parties are in the neighborhood
of Frazerburg.
The Boers are close to Graaf Reinet,
where Of late the Dutch have given
many demonstrations of extreme
sympathy. s -:--U'
In the eastern part of the colony
the advance guard of the Boers is close
to Maraisburg, about twenty-five miles
northeast of Cradock.
. The general opinion here is that the
position is not properly appreciated in
Eagland. The Worcester conference
excited the Dutch throughout the
colony. Many old residents who are
by no means alarmists, regard a gen
eral uprising of the Dutch as quite
likely. -
Invaders at Qlenharry.
Caps Town, Jan. 2. The' invaders
have reached Glenharry, a few miles
north of Graaf Reinet, in the heart of
the disaffected portion of the Colony.
Cradock, Cape Colony, Jan. 2 A
detachment of Boers entered Roode
hoogto southward of Middleburg, Jan
uary 1st. It is believed this force is
going to Graaf Reinet. The telegraph
lines are cut between Carnavon and
Somerset West, and Bteynsburg and
MaraiBburg. Large reinforcements
have reached Middleburg.
Reports From Kitchener.
London. Jan. 2. The War Office
has received the following dispatch
from Lord Kitchener:
"Da Wet tried to move toward Beth
lehem, but was headed off by Pilcher
ana retreated, toward Bindley or
R-itz
"One hundred and thirty Boer
horses have been captured near Thaba
N'Uhu. ' .
"The railway has been damaged
south of Sarfontem.
"Williams engaged the Boers south
east of Middleburg, 3ape Colony, and
the British now cccgpy Graat Keinet."
Martial Law Proclaimed.
Londou, January 3. Martial law
has been proclaimed in the Worces
tershire, TJeres, Prince Albert, Fraser
burg and Sutherland divisions, says
the Cape Town correspondent of the
Daily Mail, wiring yesterday. "The
enlistment of volunteers is active, and
the best authorities anticipate favora
ble developments shortly, xhe great
trouble is the scarcity of horses.
"Seven hundred Boers have broken
through the cordon at Sunrberg and
are advancing upon Richmond. The
magistrate, there reports that tney are
burning andjooting a few miles from
the town." '
Liord Melhuen is concentrating a
force atVryburg. whither a force of
troops haye been sent from Kimberly
and other more northern towns to
deal with a commando that is raiding
around Kuruman.
"The Boers have re occupied Jagers"
fontein, which, together with Faure-
smitb, the British evacuated on Christ
mas day. The convoys of retiring
inhabitants with hundreds of wagons
extended for seven miles. It was a
mournful spectacle. .Camp was pitch
ed at' Edenturg. I gather that the
motive for the - evacuation w"as the
difficulty of maintaining food supplies
so far from the railway.'
Marching on Frazerburg.
. Carnarvon, Jan. 2 The Boers
commanded by Hertzog, Wessels,
Pretorius and Nisuwenhaut are con
tinuing their march on Frazerburg.
It is reported that they have arrived
at eponburg.
Looting continues. The Boer horses
are footsore, and there is a great want
of fodder, as the country is barren.
.Communication with Frazerburg is
suspended, and it is doubtful when
this will be restored, inasmuch as the
Boers are travelling along the line.
Col; Thorneycroft and Col. De Lisle
are .continuing the chase, but their
horses and mules are very tired.
Many Dutch residents attended the
funeral of a Boer killed in action and
placed wreaths upon his coffin.
The Boers captured and destroyed
the mails due December 30th.
I IMPORTANT MEASURES;
BEFORE THE CONGRESS.
Army Reortanlzatloo BUI of Pressing Im-portsnce-rTbe
House Will Take Up
the Reapportionment BUI.
yTeleirraphtotneMornln8tar.
Washington, Jan. 2 -The general
expectation among the Senators is that
the few days of the time of the Senate
after reconvening to-morrow, will be
devoted to consideration of the Army
Reorganization bill, but there is some
disposition to make an arrangement
for a division of time that will permit
of the continued presentation of the
Ship Subsidy bill during a part of each
ci&v
A meeting of the Committee on Mil
itary Affairs has been called for to
morrow, when the matter of pro
cedure probably will be discussed and
ij;ision reached as to whether the
committee shall ask for all the time of
the Senate until its bill is disposed of
or for only part of - it. All Senators,
regardless or politics, consider the
Army bill of pressing importance, be
cause of the fact that the time for
which the volunteer soldiers in the
Philippines wero enlisted has almost
expired While comparatively few of
the opposition Senators will vote for
that bill, none of them appear willing
to make any objections to its early
consideration.-.
Reapportionment BUI.
The House probably will dispose of
the Reapportionment bill this week,
although Chairman Burton, of the
River and Harbor committee, is in
clined to contest the right of way with
tne census committee. The Reappor
tionment bill, carrying oat as it does
a constitutional requirement, is a mat
ter of higher privilege than an appro
priation bill, and if Chairman Hop
kins insists it probably will be given
priority. There is to be a very deter
mined fight against this bill by mem
bers from States which lose represent
atives under it and he desires a full
House when the vote is taken. He is
confident that his measure will carry
with a full attendance.
The session to-morrow probably
ill be brief and unimportant. On
Friday either the River and Harbor
or the Reapportionment bill win De
taken up. If it should be the latter,
the expectation is that ' its consider a
tion will be completed on Saturday.
If the former, the length of time to be
consumed is problematical.
DIED OF APOPLEXY.
A New Haven Mystery Coroner's Ver
diet Wife of the Murdered Man
- Charged With the Crime.
By Telegraph to tne Morning Star.
New Haven, Conn , January 2.
The report of the coroner's inquest in
theRathbun poisoning mystery, which
has been absorbing public attention
for the last week, was made public to
day. It finds that the death of Wil
liam Rathbun was caused by poison
put into the coffee of a boarder, John
F. Hart, by Maria Ann Rathbun, wife
of William.
The intention of Mrs. Rathbun, ac
cording to the coroner's finding, was
to secure the death of Hart, with whom
she is" declared to have had illicit
relations. Jealousy because of Hart's
neglect of her and his attentions during
the last few months to another woman
is ascribed in the coioner's report as
tbe motive for Mrs. Rathbun's alleged
act. The poison was put into Hart's
dinner pail and Rathbun drank comeof
the coffee, when he declared that it bad
a peculiar taste and burned his stomach.
Both men were afterward taken sick,
but Hart recovered.

THE CUBAN CONVENTION.
Two Promulgations Concerning the Future
Relations Between Cnba and the
United States.
i - .
By Cable to tbe Morning Btar.
Havana, January 2. The Cuban
Constitutional Conventionis con
sidering two promulgations of the
future relations between Cuba
and the United States. One of
these affirms, in the first place, an ac
ceptance of the Monroe doctrine and
the establishment of friendly relations
with all nations, together with a reso
lution to proceed in all; cases in com-,
plete accord with the United States.
In the second place, it proposes
to put at the disposal of the Uni
ted States a portion of the shore
of any bay on the north coast
and Of two bays on the south coast.
for naval stations, together with con
cessions sufficient in extent for the
purposes of defence and sanitation. In
the third place it declares that Cuba
will place herself on a war footing to
help the United States, in case sueh
assistance should be needed; while a
fourth proviso is an amplification of
this first, second and third.
The other promulgation contem
plates:
First. That the convention is vested
with authority only to convene.
Second. Not having been granted
legislative functions, the convention
cannot arrange the basis of future re
lations.
Third. Nevertheless shonld Wash
ington prefer such a discussion, the
convention is willing to discuss and
agree upon an arrangement of mutual
relations.
Fourth. The aspirations of tbe con
vention are merely to consolidate the
country for re construction. .Jts ener
gies are directed toward supporting the
avowed policy of tbe United states, to
which Cuba is bound by indestructi
ble ties of gratitude; said policy being
based upon tbe unequivocal preserva
tion of liberty and independence
throughout the .American- continent.
The former promulgation embodies
the desire of delegates friendly to the
United States. The latter is a counter
check to the extremists. It is con
sidered that tbe former is likely to
carry. -

by the Chinese Government
of Pekin Agreement.
THE MINISTERS ARE NOTIFIED
That the Government Guarantees Per.

by the Powers The Next Step
In the Peace Negotiations.
By Cable to the Horning star.
Washington, Jan. 2. Following
at an interval of one day close unon
his announcement -that the Chinese
Emperor has decreed the acceptance
of the Pekin agreement, Minister Con
ger cabled the State Department, un
der date of Pekin. January 1st. that
the next step had been taken and that
the ministers had been notified form
ally not only-that the agreement was
accepted by the Chinese government,
out that the government felt able to
guarantee a performance of the condi
tions imposed. It was apprehended
that there would be mucVdifficulty in
settling the important subject -of in
demnities, and the re arrangement of
the commercial treaties between China
and the Powers, which is provided
for only io general .terms in
tbe agreement, is - expected to
present equal difficulties in arrange
ment of tbe details. It is absolutely
essential to iianuouinus relations in
the future that there shall be no dis
crimination in the makiDg of thrse
treaties If by. covert arrangements,
one power is to obtain commercial ad
vantage of tbe others, tbe result will
be the cause of dissatisfaction. There
fore, it is within the bounds of prob
ability that the outcome of tne nego
tiations under this subhead cf the
agreement touching commercial, ar
rangements, will be the framing of -
something iike a general convention
which may be signed collectively or
singly by the Powers, but which will
insure uniform treatment to all.
The Chinese government's guaran
tee of its ability to perform the acts
called for by tbe agreement is now ex
pected to be followed by the prompt
arrest and -punishment of the Boxer
leaders and sympathizers who were
named in the decree of September
25th, as follows:

Rosso-Chinese Agreement.
LONDON. January 2. Tbe Pekin
sorrespondent of the Daily Mail, wir
ing January 1st, says:
"Russia, by conciliation, is trying to
secure special advantages, and there is
a strong belief that she will -receive
American support. It is hinted that
Russia inspired unfounded charges of
barbarity against the German troops,
the motive being to sow dissension ba-
tween Great Britain and Germany."
In a dispatch to the Times from Pe
kin. dated December 31st, Dr. Morri
son gives the text of the Russo Chinese
agreement for the Kussian protection
of the Manchurian province of Fen
Ting.- Russia, he says, consents that
China shall resume the civil govern
ment on the following conditions:
"First. The Tartar General Tseng
undertakes to protect and pacify the
provide acd to assist in the construc
tion oi ii t- railroad. ,
"Secot.U must kindly treat, feed
and lodtre Russians engaged in the
military occu pion and in the protec
tion of tbe railway.
"Third. He must disarm and disband
the Chinese soldiers, delivering to the
Russians all munitions of war in such
arsenals as the Russians ha ve not yet
occupied.
Fourth. All forts and defences in
the province not occupied by the Rus
sians and all powder magazines not
required by them, must be dismantled
in the presence of Russian officials.
'Fifth, ruu Chwang and other
nlaces now in Russian occupation
shall be restored to the Chinese civil
administration when Russia is satisfied
that the pacification of the province
is complete." - -
Sixth. The Chinese shall maintain
law and order by local police, under a
Tartar general.
.Seventh. A Kussian political resi
dent, with general powers of control.
shall be stationed at Mukden, to whom
the Tartar General Tseng must give all
information respecting any important
measure. .
Eighth.' In the event of the local
notice being insufficient for any emer
gericy, General Tseng will notify the
Russian resident and invite Russia to
send reinforcements.
Ninth. The Russian text shall be
the standard. ' -
"The functions given the Russian
resident in Bokharia are those of the
British residents in tbe native states
of India. -
The agreement will necessarily te
followed by similar agreements with
reference to the other two provinces,
Then Manchuua will . be de facto a
protectorate, Russia by a pre-existing
arrangement having already the right
to maintain all troops necessary for
the protection of the railway.
Uommenting upon tne information
transmitted by Dr. Morrison, the Times
savs:
"The problem raised is very serious.
The agreement is utterly irrecohcilablo
with Russia's professed attituce toward
China and the assurances- she has
volunteered to 'the Powers. In
the situation contemplated by
Anglo German agreement seems
nitely to confront us."
