PRESIDENT AVKINLEY AT VICKSBURG, MISS. ' His Speech at Memphis Allusions to Sob. sidles Regarded As An Impor tant Utterance. By Telegraph to the Morning Btar. Vicksburg, Miss., May 1. Through the low rich valley of the Yazoo, the presidential special sped southward to New Orleans today. Although the President and his party did not reach the train after the big demonstration at the Memphis banquet last night until after 1 o'clock, the President was up early this morning. Several times he appeared on the rear platform and acknowledged the cheers of the crowds at the small stations with a wave of his hand. Among the members of the cabinet the President's speech last night with its pointed allusions to the principle of subsidies as a means of enlarging transportation facilities for the ex panding trade of great America, with the brilliant picture he drew of com mercial possibilities in the Orient under the "open door" policy in China to which his administration has secured the adherence of the other Powers, is regarded as an exceedingly important utterance, and one which will instantly rivet the attention of the countryr His reference to the action of the Tennessee Legislature, which half a eentury aeo claimed that the cotton trade of the Orient belonged legitimately to the South, is considered particularly forceful . This was the first time a President had visited Vicksburg since the days of Z4chary Taylor, and the inhab itants made it one of the greatest eveuts in their history. The party left the train just outside of the city at the National cemetery, which is located on the site of the place where Pemberton surrendered to Grant, at the end of the memorable forty days siege. It is a .beautiful well kept park of eight acres on the side of a bluff under the ruins of old fort Bogsles. Sixteen thousand Union dead are buried here. The party drove through the cemetery and from the Grant Pemberton mon ument obtained a fine view of the Mississippi. Hero was pointed out to the President the projected Yazoo canal by which the people of Vieks burtf expect to divert the ftiw of the Yazoo into the Mississippi at this point and restore the harbor lost in 1878. when the river changed its course and almost stranded the city. Thence the party moved into the crowded, flag festooned city. .' President and Mrs. McKinley were in an open barouche, which was swathed even to the wheels in na tional colors. The procession passed under a picturesque arch of cotton bales,' surmounted by Spanish dag gers, on which was the word "Ex pansion." At the court house tquare, which was also elaborately decorated, the President was introduced by Mayor Trobridge and addressed fully 10,000 people. His remarks created much enthusiasm Ou the way back to the station the President's carriage was stopped to give bim an opportunity to address several hundred Echool children. ROUND-LAP COTTON BALES.

Following is the Weather Bureau's weekly sum mary of crop conditions', Throughout the Central and Eist Gulf and South Atlantic States the general coudition of corn is poor, ow ing to unnecessary cool and wet weather, and much replanting in these districts la nf ctssarj-. The unfavorable effects of the frosts of the previous week appear to have been more serious to cotton in the central districts of the cotton belt than was indicated in the preceding bulletin. Much of the crop that was up prior to the 18th in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama was killed, necessitating ex tensive-renlantiner. The bulk of the Texas cron is now planted and plant ing is progressing rapidly over the northern portion of the cotton region. Widespread scarcity of seed is reported from th central and eat-tern districts. Some tobacco has been transplanted in South Carolina, 'but none further northward A plentiful supply of healthy plants is , indicated although generally small. While some fruits have sustained slight injury in some districts in the southern portion of the Southern States, the general outlook, continues very promising east of the Rocky mountains. - C. fW.

EXERCISE FULL AUTHORITY. Von Waldersee's Reply to Views of the Ministers in Pekin Authority of the Commander Must Also Extend to the Legation Qoards. By Cable to the Morning Star. Pekin, April 30. Field Marshal Von Waldersee, in the letter which he sent to the ministers to -dav. as the reply of the generals to the views of the ministers regarding military ques tions, says a garrison of six thousand men should be left at Tien Tsin and the adjoining district; Great Britain, France, Germany and Japan to con tribute three thousand men each, and Italy one company until the forts are razed. So lone as any forces occupy Chinese territory the foreign military commanders must exercise the full authority of civil administration, ac cording to the principle established at The Hague in 1899. The Chinese may remain in office, as in the case of Pao Ting Fu, and partly Tien Tsin. Be sides the six thousand men in Tien Tsin district, warships, which must always be in the Peo Heo, will pre serve communication with the interna tional fleet at Tien Tsin. Military Control to Continue. To allow this administration to de pend in any respect on the mandarins would be an utter impossibility. Fric tions would arise immediately which would lead to difficult conflicts, which will be better avoided. When the troop3 at Tien Tsin are" reduced to two thousand by the grant ing or, possibly, a quarter of the con cessions, then the question of an ab solute Chinese administration may be considered. - The creation of a chief command is desirable for purely military reasons, as in cases of disarder or troubles of any kind military measures will be re quired. These measures must take place where troubles occur, and the authority of the commander in chief must also extend to the legation guards at Pekin. - Concerning Evacuation. Concerning the question of evacua tion opinions were divided. The Brit ish, Japanese and Germany comman ders ' were of the opinion that the evacuation would not commence un til China had accepted the prescribed conditions and paid the total indem nities. The question of evacuation is most difficult on account of the approach ing hot season, which is very injuri ous to the health of the troops, and which also will increase the costs of the war indemnity immensely, result in the loss of hundreds of soldiers, and probably mean the retention of the troop3 for the winter. The generals are convinced that 2.000 men at Pekin, 1,500 at Shang hai Kwan, 3,000 on the railroad, and altogether 12.500 men, with the fleets at Taku and Shanghai, will be a fully sufficient force to compel China to accept the demand for and manner of payment of the indemnity. It is reported in Hong Kong that the Germans have selected a conces sion at Canton ; that the preliminaries have been arranged and that possession will be taken soon. more Fighting. Pekin, May 1 It is persistently reported here that there has been fresh righting between the Russians and the Chinese in Manchuria. No great credence is placed in such rumor?, however, as it is believed tbey are cir culated to show- the necessity .for an increase in the military strength of Kussia. Berlin, May 1. A dispatch from Field Marshal von Waldersee, dated Pekin, Tuesday, April 30th, says: " .Lessors column has returned. He reports that the Chinese he encoun tered at the Great Wall belonged to the provinces of Ho Nan, Hu Peb, Kwang Si and Shan Si, and numbered 15,000 men. They retreated in com - plete disorder, and were pursued eight kilometers "The French troops have also been withdrawn from Ho Kien and Hi En." Washington, May 1. The legation guard at the American legation at Pekin will not be subjected to the latest phases of- the negotiations at Pekin, as told in press dispatches, and it is suggested as a possibility that the demands in this regard of the inter national generals is not qualined. Still, if it is, the American legation guard will retain its independence. even if it is necessary to that end to remove it from Pekin and from China .

Charted With Robbery of the American Express Co. In Paris. By Cable to tbe JHOimnx tttar. Paris, May 2. The principal author of the robbery of the American Ex press Company's office in Paris on the night of April 26th, when three mask ed burglars escaped with 30,000 francs, has been arrested. His name is George Miler, or Miller, and he was born in Chicago. For some time he has lived in Paris under the name of James Samuel, being employed in a barber shop. When arrested he was found in possession of a part of the stolen funds, a number of dynamite car tridges and a set of-burglar's tools. It appears that the detection of the thieves was due to almost pure chance. Some days before tbe burglary the de tectives, who are ever on the lookout in the streets for suspicious characters, noticed three men of English appear ance whose behavior was very myste rious. These persons entered banks without doing any business and in spected buildings. It was thought that they were planning a burglary. Un the day preceding the robbery of the American Express offices, they were seen just outside. One of the thieves purchased some thick cord at a large store, and when a sample was found to be identical there was no longer any question as to the identification of the burglar. CHINESE INDEMNITY. Fixed by Foreign Ministers la Pekin at 1,345,000,000 Francs. By Cable to tbe Morning 8 tar. Paris, May 1. Tbe Foreign Office has received a dispatch from Peain announcing thai M. iricnon, tne French minister, presented to day the report of the committee on indemnity. The amount China is to pay has been fixed at 1,365,000,000 francs. How it is proposed that the indemnity be dis tributed among the Powers is not set forth, but as the dispatch does not mention The Hague, it is thought the ministers are hopeful of being able to settle the proportion to be received by each Power by discussion at Pekin. The indemnity figure is under what had been expected in Paris, as it was thought the total would reach one and one-half millards of francs. There is much disappointment over the fact that the United States is supporting England against an increase in the customs. This is attributed to the influence of the American trading community in China. It is believed that England, if alone, would yield; but fears are entertained that Eng land's tcheme is to prolong the nego tiations until her hands are free in South Africa, when she would show a stronger policy in Chinese affairs. ATTACKED THE BOERS. Kitchener's Reports of Small Engage meats, Prisoners and Supplies Taken. By Cable to tbe Morning Btar. London, May 1. A dispatch from Lord Kitchener, dated from Pretoria to-day, says: "Grenfell attacked the Boers at Bergplantz, near Halverstberg, where the last long Tom opened fire at 10,000 yards. Kitchener's scouts advanced to within 3,uuu yaros, wnen me gun was thrown and the Boers fled. Ten of them were made prisoners. "Other columns report ten uoers killed, six wounded, six made prison ers and sixty surrendered, and thirty thousand rounds of ammunition cap tured. The British had four killed and seven wounded."

The State Department's information relative to the legal proceedings in Venezuela in connection with the asphalt contro versy indicates that it will be many months before the issue will come to trial in the Venezuelan high court. As there is no diposition exhib ited to dispossess the American con cessionaries who are in pos session, pending the; termination of the legal proceedings, the State Department is entirely satis fied with the maintenance of the status quo as to this case. Tnere are, however, other issues which may change the aspect of American affairs in Venezuela.
