GERMAN-AMERICAN DISPUTE. Waldersee and Chaffee Disagree as to the Guard for'the Forbidden City Gate. PEKING, April 23. Field Marshal -von Waldersee has made application that the Gate of the Forbidden City be guarded by German troops after the departure of the Americans. Gen.

Chaffee has replied that American soldiers will continue to guard the Gate. At this the Germans are indignant, saying it impugns their honesty, and that if the United States desires to do her share of policing the city, she should leave behind enough troops for that purpose. It Is added that a few men belonging to the legation guards cannot be allowed to control the Gate, which wUl be within the German quarters. If Gen. Chaffee persists in his coarse, diplomatic representations will be made In the matter.

Many applications have been made to Commissioner Rockhlll and Gen. Chaffee by Chinese of all degrees for the retention In China of the American troops until the general withdrawal of the troops of all the powers. Many of those who are making this request think the withdrawal of the Americans will make the others remain longer. There are also people who do not desire to see any of the soldiers go, fearing anarchy and an uprising against for- elgners. WASHINGTON, April Is understood here that the Chinese plenipotentiaries at Peking.

Prince Chlng and are prepared to give a guarantee to the powers for the protection of all foreigners in China If the foreign troops r.ow Ftationed there are withdrawn. Thus far the retention of the foreign forces has been urged as necessary in order to preserve order and protect foreigners, but the Chinese authorities say order has been so far re-established that the Imperial Government Is fully able to direct the Chinese troops in such a way as to Insure complete safety to the interests of all foreigners. This is understood to be the basis of the withdrawal ot 10.000 French troops, and it Is earnestly hoped among Chinese officials that this will be followed by a similar movement on the part of the other foreign forces in China.

April 12, via Victoria, B. C. Dr. Anient, who has just passed through here on his way to Ban Francisco, baa flven in an interview some light upon the ncldents connected with the death of Prof. Hubert James, well known to Bos-tunlano.

There has been a theory that Prof. James might be still alive, but the particulars of his death as given -by Dr. Ament's Chinese teacher seem to leave no room for hope. It seems that while crossing the canal bridge on one of the first days of the siege Prof. James was seised by Chinese soldiers and taken before Jung-Lu.

Refusing to bend the knee to that General, he was imprisoned for seven days and then beheaded, Til head being exposed for three days at the Flowery Gate. The head was accurately descrlbey by several witnesses, and was easily identified as- that of Prof. James. ROMAGNOU NOT CAPTURED.

BERLIN. April William regards the report of the plot against his life as Tartaren (Tartar news.) -but he approves the steps now taken to forestall the alleged plotters.

April 23. Recent utterances of the Russian- press give the German papers an opportunity to discuss Russo-Oerman relations, and even the Russophile journals admit the existence of a strong anti-German sentiment among the organs of Russian opinion.

The annual return of recruiting for 1900 shows a total enlistment of 98,361, against 42,700 ln 1890. The recruiting for the infantry is regarded as unsatisfactory. In spite of the impetus of the war and the reduction ln the standard of height, the number of enlisted infantrymen is below that of 18a9. the recruits generally having preferred the showier branches of the service. The Times, In the course of an editorial this morning on the unfavorable recruiting report, compares the results here with those of the successful American system, which it thinks should be imitated in the United Kingdom.

As a matter of fact Mrs. Hartman has taken a long lease of the White Lodge, which has been a sort of white elephant on the hands of the royal family since the death of the Duke and Duchess of Teck.

RUSH FOR C0NS0L8 IN LONDON. List May Be Cloaed To-day, aa Loan la Subscribed Several Times Oyer. LONDON. April 2. Applications for the new war loan continue to pour Into the Bank of England.

The subscribers yesterday, though numerous, were mostly small Investors. It is estimated that the loan was subscribed for six or seven times over, and it is expected that the list will be closed to-day, as It la not desired to lock up too much money. On the Stock Exchange consols hardened slightly on the practical cessation of selling ln order to apply for the new lssue. In spite of the large applications, the possibility remains that consols may be obtainable cheaper before South African affairs are settled. The khaki loan Was subscribed for eleven times with much more popular enthusiasm.

It now stands at a considerable discount. Commenting on the placing of consols in the United States, The Liverpool Poet says: It is an event of immense financial and economic significance. It shows that the balance of indebtedness is being changed. The United States is becoming Great Britain's creditor, and the change of relationship will necessarily have a very effect on trade. It may influence the international financial position.

If London's preeminence as the financial centre of the world is lost, and New York shares the position with London, the new situation will be decidedly less favorable than the old to British financial and commercial supremacy."

He Is an orphan and boards with Mrs. Phillip Kun-kelmann. She says he Is an Inveterate reader of dime novels.

Yesterday morning the lad met her in the hallway. He thrust a revolver into her face, at the same time shouting ln a melodramatic-voice: Tour hour has come. I have long thirsted for vengeance, and at last it is come." "It Is, eh?" said Mrs. Kunkelmann. "I think I shall have something to say about that." Then she seized the boy by the ear with one hand and with the other disarmed him.

Marching him to the dining room, she gave him into the keeping of her husband. He took the" lad to Recorder Stanton's court, where he was charged with carrying aoncealed weapons. He was fined $10. which he paid with money he said he had saved for his Summer vacation. He was also required to find a new boarding house.
