t -' ! CHINESE CRUSADE AQAINST FOREIGNERS. Report of the America Bible Society On ; ..... . . : -the Massacres ol Missionaries ana ; Native Christians. f By Telegraph to tbe Mernintt star. New York, April 10. The annual report of the American Bible Society, relative to the situation in China, will contain the following interesting statements from its agent in Caina, the Rrv. John R. Hicks, D. D: ""Tberewas a deei and cunningly laid plot, under imperial sanction to extirpate Christianity, expel all for-, eignersand destroy all foreign inte rests. No one divined the full ex teat of the iniquity which was delib erate! v com b plated. 'In all 183 Protestant missionaries, a including sixty men, seventy-live women and forty -eight children, have been massacred. "With the exception of the massa cres of Ku Cboo in Chtkiang, in which eleven persons were killed, and at Bong Choo in Bun An, all of the deaths occurred in the northern pro vinces. "The question has been raised at home as to whether the Boxer upris in? was anti foreign or anti-missionary jo its character. No- doubt exists in the mind of any well informed, person in China. The movement was un douotedly against foreigners, as such; and the crusade was directed against everything foreign Christianity, of course, included. Hsu Ching Cheng and Tuen Chang, two ministers of the Foreign Office, would not trans mit the awful edict which reiterated the order to 'painfully extirpate all foreigners,' but changed it so aa to read 'protect all ' foreigners,' and then sent it Hying over the wires to the remotest provinces. They were sentenced to be cat in two. Missionaries were thee ass that was benefitted by this act of hero ism. The fact that every missionary escaped from fourteen out of eighteen province would indicate that the cru sade was not specially anti missionary, I '-We have to mourn the loss of many noble and devoted native workers. They were warned of the risk they were running, hut not a man of the noble band of eighteen flinched.. Their reply was 'we goon a colportage tour. God's will be done ' Oaly four of the eighteen re turned from that journey. Of the coiportagers under missionary super vision I have not heard of one who escaped. "More than 40,000 native converts (including Roman Catholics) met death with a heroism worthy of the best age of the Church." MYSTERIOUS ROBBERY. Bars of Gold Valned at $22,750 Stolen From tbe Stesmer Kaiser Wilhelm Der Qrosse. By Cable to the Morning Star. n Bremer Haven, Aoril 10. It is of ficially announced that three bars of gold were sto'en during the voyage of the ' North German Lloyd steamer Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse. The company has offered a reward of 10,000 marks for their restitution or for the discovery of he thieves. New York April 10. The robbery at sea of i he specie room of the North German Lloyd liner Kaiser Wilheluo der Grosse seems a mysterious crime. Apparently there has bem com pit-le failure to locate eiiht-r the missing gold bullion or the mea who. took it. although the search of pa-segrs and ship at Bremen this mornio-g may furuisU material 'for 'in vt-stigations Tare bars of gold ag gregating in value $22,750, shipped by the National City batik, of New York, were stolen from cask No. 4 of the specie room, somewhere between this port andCherbourg The advices to Golrichs& Company, agents for the company, came iu Ger man, and on the point as to wnetner the specie, room was broken open or en tered by beating the lock admits of translation eithf-r way. Tne specie room of the Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse is iron bound and almost as strong as a vault. Its doors were secured by a patent lock for which there were but two keys. One of the keys was kept by the chief officer and the other by the purser. The bars of gold were packed in oak casks bound with iron hoops. Thousands of dollars in gold were wituin the reach of tbo matt who forced his way into the strong room, but only the sum named was taken. NEGOTIATIONS RE-OPENED. Gen. Botha Treating With the British (or Peace la Behalf of the Entire HBo.r Porces. By Cable to the Momma star. Cape Town, April 10. Geo. Botha has reonened negotiations with the British for peace. It is understood here that, although Gen. De Wet, at bis recent interview with Gen! Botha, refused to surrender, Gen. Botha, regarding him as irre snonsible. undertakes to negotiate in behalf of the entire Boer forces. Tbe British authorities here consider that if Gen. Botha surrenders DeWet's fol lowing can be easily taken. It is explained here that this action was determined iu part by Gen. Botha's discovery at a recent meeting that Uen DeWet's intellect, had weakened arid that his influence with bis follow. ers was diminishing,. and that a contiuu ance of thexampaign. in view tf Gen DeWet's irresponsibility, rested with Gen. Botha alone. ADVICES PROM MANILA. Insurgent Funds and Officers Captured. Cock Fighting Aguinaldo. BJ Cable to the Mormuu stai. Manila, April 10.

At - aiuu rrum me CUDOO j Convention. IF THEY VISIT WASHINGTON. Delegation Will Learn They Can Hope for No Modification of the Law and Until Conditions Are Complied With. Military Will Control. Bv Telegraph to the Horning star. Washington, April 10 Ioforma tion was received at the War Depart ment to day to the effect that" the Cuban Constitutional Convention is contemplating sending a commission here to consult with the President and Secretary of War regarding the Piatt amendment and the relations ns the United 8tates with Cuba. While it is known that the adminis tration much prefers to have tbe Con stitutional Convention accept the Piatt amendment instead of sending such a commission, it would rather the com mission should visit this country and ditcuss the subject than the Piatt leg islation should be rejected. Flat re jection would leave matters in a strained condition. The commission will visit this country upon its own re sponsibility, aa an invitation to come might imply a disposition upon the part of this government to make con cessions. It baa been suggested that some of the most radical opponents of United States control .should be mem bers of the commission, in order that they may ascertain definitely what the situation is.in the United 8tates. There baa been some discussion as to what such a commission can accom plish by coming to Washington. It is said for one thing that it. can obtain definitely from the President and Sec retary of War a construction of the Piatt amendment. Tbe third section, relating to intervention, is the one which meets with the greatest objec tion from the Cubans and it is be lieved that the administration can coa vince the delegation that there is noth ing but the best of intentions on the part of this government toward Cuba. The requirement that theCubana shall adopt "substantially" the terms of the Piatt amenament also can be con strued. No Modification. Tne delegation, it is said, will learn that the Cubans can hope for no mod- hcation of the law by Congress, and that nothing can be acomplished by waiting until another session. It also will be made plain that the present administration doea not wish any mod ification, and that tbe spirit of tbe flatt amendment must be accepted Tbe delegation will be informed they can fell the members of tbeconventiou upqp their return that until the condi lions of tbe Piatt amendment are com plied with the United Slates will con tinue to exercise authority in the island under its military power. There is a desire upon tbe part of the Cubans to have some information aa to what may Joe meant by coalicg stations It is understood that the delegates have been given an intimation that the selections are not likely to be made within any of the cities of Cuba, but at points which the United States regard as covenient for warships Probaly tbe delegation may desire ad ditiooal assurances from tbe President ipon this point when it comes to the Uuiled States. Convention in Session. Havana. April 10 The Cuban Constitutiansl Convention at to day's session took no action regarding the proposal to appoint a committee to go to Washington in reference to tne future relations between Uuba and the United States. Tne whole time was taken up by Senor Juan Gual berto Gomez and General Sanguilly, who made long and impassioned speeches, the former against the Piatt amendment and the latter in its favor Senor Gomez said in substance that the black blood in his veins made him opposed to the Americans, inti mating that their treatment of his race stamped them as unfriendly to the negro. "I would rather be' under the sovereignty of Spain," be exclaimed, "than under that of the United States. The Piatt amendment endangers tbe independence of Cuba. It means the predominance of American influence. I would either die of gtief or leave He admitted that be was not particu larlv opposed to sending a commission to Washington, but he said he believed the Piatt amendment should be re jected first. General Sanguilly made a strong ap peal to the delegatea to accept tbe amendment. He cited the reasons he had already given in a public let ter in favor of such a course and emphasized the fact that the amend ment in no wav endangered the indei pendence of Cuba, but really provided guarantees that it wcu.d be main tained.

Imnortaot Discoveries and Arrests Made by Secret Service Men in New j York City. By Telegraph to tbe Morning Star. New York, April 10. One of the bisreest raids in tbe history of the secret service was made to-night by Chief ' Hazen", as the result of the arrest of John Albert Skoog for passing counterfeit Swedish notes. Chief Hazen, after talking with Skoog to day and following a clue which he got from papers in Skoog's pocket, went to a building in Grand avenue, Brooklyn, and arrested Emil Mobert, a Swede. One of the most complete counter feiting plants ever found was discov ered in the bouse. Long sought plates for 50 kroner notes of the Bank of Sweden and 10Q kroner notes of the Bank of Copenhagen were among those found. They were buried away with other plates for tbe making of a 20 note of tbe Bank or Scotland, which it is said the secret service of ttrf at -Britain has bten trying to run dnwufor vears. Skoog is said to be one of the most expert counterfeiter alive. Benjamin Frost, a broker, and mem ber of tbe New York Consolidated Exchange, financially embarrassed. committed suicide in the Hoffman House. After a night of meditation. spent no one seems to know where, be went to the hotel at 5 o'clock in tbe morning and waa found dying three hours later. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN RICHMOND, VA. Large Dry Goods Establishment of Julius Meyer's Sons Burned. ONLY ONE LIFE WAS LOST. Fonr Hundred Employes in the Building. Many Narrow Escapes Fire Spread to Other Houses, Bat Flames Were Extinguished. Bv Teleirranh to the Mornlnn star. Richmond, Va., April 10 Rich mond had this morning another fire which produced excitement and con sternation throughout the city. The big dry goods establishment store of Julius Meyer's Sons, which occupied almost a quarter -of a block on Broad street, together with the stock and fix tures, waa destroyed completely. The fire originated on the third floor of the building among some mattresses, but from what cause is a matter of doubt. The flames spread with great rapidity, ana when the department reached the scene it was appaient that all it could be expected to do was to protect the surrounding property. . Charred Body Fouad. Until 3:30 this afternoon, it was not believed that there had been any casu alties but at that hour, a charred bjdy was discovered in tne ruins. Which proved to be the remains of Mr. R. Emmet Slaughter, manager-, of tbe carpet department. How he became entrapped in the burning buildirgia not even a matter of conjecture. It is a mystery. There are rumors of other casualties but they seem to be entirely without foundation, as the rest ci tbe four hundred employes are said to be accounted for. One lady. Mrs. Loose, was injured by a pile of trunks falling on her. Several others fainted and had to be carried out and some were so bewildered they had to be forced out. Un tbe whole, bow ever, there was but little panic, and the several department managers kept their heads absolutely. Other Fires. Tbe fire waa witnessed by thousands of persons. A March gale waa pre ailing and burning embers were scat t -red for a radiua of several blocks around. These ignited the roofs of other buildings, and while the big fire was in progress the department had to respond to five or six other alarms. The insurance is on stock. $178 750: on fixtures. $20,500; on building, $60, 000. The building was owned by Emanuel Baab. It is regarded as almost miraculous that many of the employea did not perish, and that, considering the fierce wind, the whole block did not go. At one time it waa feared that several women would jump from windows. but tbey were forced back by depart ment managers and firemen, and made to descend the stairways and fire- escapes. The total loss, as estimated by out side parties, is two hundred and fifty thousand dollars. No estimate has been given out by the sufferers. PLANT SHUT DOWN.

The Kind You Have Always 8ignatve of CORPORATIONS LAW. The Provisions of the New Act Passed by the Last Gen eral Assembly. OTHER NEWS FROM RALEIQPg Associate Justice Douglas Sick la keens boro Cbapel Hill Telephone Com : pany Chartered The Andrews Marks Marriage. ' ' Special Star. Correspondence. Raleigh, N. C, April 10. A full nvestigauon into the provisions of the new corporation law as enacted by the last General Assembly (reference to which was made in this correspond ence recently), develops the fact that Wake county officials were mistaken In claiming that clerks of Superior courts in the State would be deprived of their three dollars fees for each corporation agreement recorded, the change being that articles of agree ment must now be filed with the Sec retary of State first instead of with the clerk of the Superior court and the Secretary of State, certifies the articles down to the clerk of the court. As. previously stated, the icense tax of $25 and upwards for each corporation ' chartered is now payable to tbe State instead of to the county in which the company is or ganized. The new law contemplates a uni form syBtem and gives to the Secretary of State a discretionary power in pass ine uoon and grantinsr charters for corporations-which : neither he nor the clerk of the eupeuor Court possessed under tbe old law. In addition to this each corporation ia required to file with tbe Secretary of State statements of its increase or decrease of capital stock, change of name, change of na ture of business and a list of Jhe offi cers and directors and of general agents. For each of these services the new law requires a tax upon the corpo ration. It was essential for tbe sake of uniformity that all this information should be in one office instead of scat tered-over ninety-seven counties. All private corporations, as well hose now existing as those to be here after created, are required, in the next three months, to file with the Secre tary of State statements showing who are tbe tbe officers, the address of their principal place of business (they are required to have an office with a go. over it and an agent In charge). aud whether issued for cash or in pay ment for property or labor, and if the latter the facta relating to the trans action. . It is the expectation of the framers of the bill that tbe school fund will be very materially augmented by the new bill. This sbould amount to enough to equalize any injustice which may be done the larger coun ties by the diversion of the taxes of corporations from them to the State treasury and its distribution shared by tbe smaller counties.

He is also Secretary of the Republican State Central Committee His duties in these two capacities are at times so exacting that he finds him self worn out and in a low nervous condition. At all such times he confi dently turns to Paine's celery com pound, and has never been disap pointed. He says of this wonderful remedy: 'St. Paul, Feb. 16, 1901. "Dear Sirs I have been familiar with the merits of Paine's celery com pound for a number of years, and have used it when seriously run down' from ovrrwork, both mentally and physically. But its good dualities never appealed to me so forcibly as during the last campaign. The hard work devolving upon me. as Secretarv of the tttate Central Committee, affect ed my nerves greatly and made it difficult for me to sleep. Paine's cel ery compound immediately restored the tone to my nervous system and enabled me to secure refreshing sleep. it beneuted me at once, and I do not hesitate to recommend it to ray friends who find themselves in the same nervous condition. . "Very truly yours, "Chas. C. Whitney." Paine's -celery compound marks a tremendous stride in the cure of dis ease.

Paine's celery comnound was first prescribed by Prof. Edward E Phelps, M. D. LL D , of Dartmouth College, in his private practice. It has been recommended by learned specialties in nervous diseases. By its merit alone it has earned the highest commenda tions from physicians, the press and tbe public. It not only regulates the nervous system, but nourishes it; sends more and better blood to supply the wasted nerves and takes the killing strain off the kidneys. When pains appear in different parts of the body and one feels tired and depressed, the use of Paine's celery compound will drive away 'the rheumatism pain or the attack of in digestion and correct the failing appe tite, which keeps pace so closely with the digestive powers.
