Z and 6. n South Omaha News The councllmanlc deadlock Is on again and there la no telling when the break will come. Theru was no quorum at the ad journed meeting cUled for last night, and another effort to get four councllmen and the mayor together will be made tonight. It was civen out during the day that the major proposed to submit several names for appointees from the Sixth ward, and then commenced a hustle between the three prominent candidates for the vacancy. Clif ton Btlll InEtsts on making a fight and Van Bant and Mead are still In the tace. In conversation last night after adjournment It developed that4Mayor Kelly had a little alate ot names he proposed to submit In hopes that the council would concur. The ehancea am that at the meeting tonight an attempt will be made to confirm at least one of the twio councllmen slated for positions under the new charter. Rumor lias It that unless the council comes to some agreement soon, the mayor will declare all bets off and will work along with four members until such time as Ms appointments will be confirmed without op. position. In this event thc city will savt- the salaries of the two councllmen to be appointed, amounting to J 100 a month, aad this means considerable to the taxpayers, The corporations are fighting Clifton, while they are boosting Mead. VanSant is being pushed by his friends on the record he made when ho was In the council before. Tosslbly a dark horse candidate will come up before tonight, but it Is hardly prob able that Mayor Kelly will entertain any new propositions at this time. Saloon Orrnnatioii Tax. Unless the city council get down to busi ness and resolutcs quickly, liquor dealers all over the city will be compelled to pay an occupation tax of J200, in addition to the regular J 1.000 license fee. For a num ber ot years past the city has exacted a tee of 1200 from each saloon and this money has been turned Into the city treasury This was when the license was 500. Now the license, by reason of the report of the census bureau, haB been increased to 1,000. When the report of the supervisor of the census was received. It was thought by nearly every one that the city would not exact an occupation tax nu account ot the license fee having been doubled. The ordinance levying an occupation tax nt J200 on each saloon is still in force and ualess It Is repealed on or before May 1, nil Dr.Creenes NERVURA Prl4 by GbtbI LONGSTRECT "ItglvBS nt9 pliasur to add my testimony to tho many otbors In favor of Dr. Gr0&n's Norvura blood and now nmody, which I bava usod with highly baa aflolal rasults, andamabia to aammond its virtuos from axporianoo."

Month At the meeting of the Peter Cooper club last night the president announced the ar rangements for the banquet to be held May 7. The banquet will be held in Washing ton hall and covers will be provided for 400 persons. The principal speakers se cured at this time are YV. J. Bryan. Jerry Simpson. William V Allen. W. A. Poynter and General James B. Weaver. A member of the club has donated to the organization a portrait of Peter Cooper, which will be one of the principal .features of the decoration. Arrangements for tho state conference are not progressing so favorably as are those for the banquet and that feature of the. day may hae to be abandoned. -When the plan was first suggested It met" with the' hearty approval of J. A. Edmisten. the state chairman of the populist committee. and on behalf of that committee he prom ised active co-operation. Then he decided that it would be well to take a plebiscite of the committee on thc subject and sent out ballots for that purpose. The ballots were so worded that It wat well-nigh Im possible for the members of the committee to vote against thc proposition to hold the conference, but. for all that, it would seem that a large number of the committee are opposed to conferring in Omaha at the time of the banquet. No positive word has been received from Mr. lidmlsten on thc sub Ject, but It Is understood that the plan meets with opposition in several quarters where opposition was least expected. The chairman has decided not to call the con ference unless a large majority of the mem bers of the committee Indicate their In tention of being present and that they de sire the meeting to be called. It Is possi ble that votes received this week Rill cause the conference to De called, but members ot the Peter Cooper club express tbe opin ion that It the conference is to be held it would have been called last week, so that those who desired to attend would have an opportunity of making necessary prep aration.

General Voyron, the commander of the French troopt In China, has Informed General Chafiee that 10.000 French soldiers will leave China next May. LI hung Chang believes that the Chi nese trcops, under General Liu, will be withdrawn over the boundary marking the territory defined by Field Marshal von Wal dersee as the sphere of operations for the allies, as the govrrnor ot Shan SI province received telegraphic instructions nearly a week ago ordering their withdrawal. The governor could have conrryed this or der to the troops in quettlon by last Fri day at the lateet. The majority of thc French and German newspaper correspondents accompanying the expedition directed ugalnit General Liu and which has been mobllitlng at Pao Ting Fu returned to Tekln today, believing that the expedition would be called off. Iliil Liang, fotmerly governor of the prov ince of Shan Si, has been appointed gov ernor of thc province of Hu Pel The for eign consuls at Hankow, capital ot thc provlme of Hu Pel. have protested this appointment to Chang Chi Tung, viteroy of Hankow, and have sent him a tele gram advising him to delay proceeding In the matter of Hsl Liang's appointment, Thc numerous appointments of Chinamen with pronounced anti-foreign tendencies If causing comment at Pckln. Even the for eign ministers admit thst so many ap pointments ot this character are Ul-ad'lsed. ' while the missionaries and other civilians are alarmed for thc future. It Is the otlnlon ot Mr. Rockhill, the American special commissioner, that tbc foreign troops may now commence leaving China with perfect safety On thc other hand, the announcement that 10,000 French troops are to leave in May causes fear among thc French residents and this fear Is greater among the French native con verts to Christianity, who Inform the priests thst they are dally threatened with what will happen to them when the foreigners leave. The views of the foreign ministers on the withdrawal of the troops is not shared by the great majority of foreign reeldeuts. .The mlniKtert aver that some of these lat ter have .bwlnesi reasons and others would have to vacate the fine buildings they are now occupying rent free, when the troops go. DotTigrr Itrassurrs Tuna-. A personage from Slan Tu, who Is clcsely connected with the court, denies that Gen eral Tung Fuh Slang 1b In a state of open rebellion. The person in question thinks that the missionaries who reported that he was In rebellion must have beard accounts of his harsh treatment ot bandits falling Into his hands. Tung Fuh Slang has fre quently disobeyed the orders of the court. When 5.000 troops were withdrawn from his command last January he should have returnod their rifles and ammunition. This he failed to do. Before he left for Kan Su he obtained an audience with the dowager empress of China. Upon this occasion Tung Fub Slang'sald to the empress: 'All that your servant has done has been to obey the orders of the court. He will die upon the, battlefield In your -service. If because of tbe commands of the for eigners your servant were committed to death he would die" unwillingly." To this the empress replied: "Let your heart be at peace. 1 would rather lose my rivers and mountains than you, I will surely devise a plan for your protection." The same Informant says that the court advisers are not in acr-ord. lAi Chuan Lin, a notorious reactionary and president of tbe board of trade, argues In favor of subduing the barbarians, while others advise delay In returning to Fekln. Only Wcng Weng Shao and. Sun Chla Nal urge immediate acceptance of the terms offered privately. Two of thc foreign powers have separately agreed to extend to the court the full protection, should necessity arise, ot every soldier they have. At a receat meeting of the council both the emperor and the empress wept fre quently. The dowager empress said that each day of absenco was a day when she could neither eat nor sleep in peace. The emperor said that Pekin was thc home of his ancestors and that he could not bear to abandon it. Sir Robert Hart's plan for the Increase of the revenue of China w-ould bring in O.ooo.ooo taeiB annually, but the foreigners and business men of China object to this plan already, sajlng that under it tbe foreign houses will pay the greater portion of the indemnity.
