CHICAGO , June S. A special to the
Tribune from Vancouver , B. C. , says : Pas
sengers by the Btpamshlp Empress of Japan
give a graphic description of the rebellion
In Kow Loon. When the Empress passed up
the coast from Hong Kong , the passengers
saw the smoking ruins of many villages
burned by Britishers as a warning to the
rebellious Chinamen.
Seventeen thousand natives were then in
Instirreptlo'u end so serious did affairs shape
themselves en May 16 that the Hong Kong
vnlunteera were called to the front. The
Chlnso were simply chased , from village to
village , with no show of resistance , and the
villages burned.
A British surveying party , while surve'y-
, lmg the route ot } he' Van Nan railway
through China , was attacked and roughly
handfed. They fired their pistols once Into
the air as a warning , then charged'the mob.
Ono Chinaman was killed" and ten wounded.
All the Chinamen they could capture alive
were handed over to .tho governor of the
prefecture with a demand that they be
punished. To the Britishers' surprise head
men were sent for while they waited and
before they could retire their forces the
prisoners' heads rolled Into the baskets.

CONCESSION NOT ENOUGH FOR ENGLISH
AVIIIot l'i > n on ( to Arbitration of
Some ( luefttlotiN mill In Any Ktciit
' No r irclnn Timer U to
lie Involved ,
LONDON , Juno 8. The advices received
here today from South Africa emanating
from British sources show more completely
the utter failure of the recent conference at
Blccmfontcln between President Krugcr nnd
the British high commissioner , Sir Alfred
Mllner.
The London afternoon newspapers all re
fer to the dangerous situation.
A dispatch from Matjes Fontcln says Sir
'Alfred Mllner's proposals Iniluded granting
'tho ultlandcrs additional seats In the Rand
"district nnd that President Krugcr under
pressure finally offered thrco additional
'teats. The British high commissioner thcr'e-
upon pointed out Iho Inadequacy of the
president's proposals , adding that ho had
ticmo to the conference In 'tho ' hope of bctag
able to Inform her majesty's government
that the president of the Trnnsvnar was pre-
fiArcd to afford such liberal measures of re
form as would enable the ultlanders < to help
thems hes nnd relieve Iho government of
the obligations to Intervene In order t6 ro-
drefcs particular grievances.
Thioiighout , It Is added , President Krugcr
sought to use the franchise proposals as the
means of obtaining a promise to settle the
differences tinder the convention by arbitra
tion , but the British commissioner refused
to treat the two subjects as Interdependent ,
taking the ground that Internal reform In
the Transvaal was necessary In any case In
order to preserve the Independence ot the
republic , and as regards arbitration there
were certain questions upon which It could
not bo admitted , white on other questions
arbitration was possibly admlssablo provided
a suitable tribunal was suggested , not In
volving the Introduction of a foreign power ,
which the governments would never allow.
In the House of Commons today the sec
retary of state for the colonies , Joseph
Chamberlain , replying 'to various questions
on the subject , confirmed the reports of the
failure of the Bloemfonteln conference and
also admitted the accuracy of the statements
niado In the dispatch from Matjos Fonteln ,
explaining that the British high commis
sioner informed President Krugor that Great
Britain would not consent to the Interven
tion of any African power In the Anglo-
Transvaal dlsputcu.
With reference to the Jameson raid , Mr.
Chamberlain added , the commissioner In
formed the president that the British
Chartered South Africa company , whllo pro
testing against the unreasonable amount of
the claim , would consent to submit to arbi
tration the question of the amount of dam
ages to bo paid.
POSSIIlLli WAR IN THE TRANSVAAL.
Reply to iritlnnilerN' Petition IN in
\ntnro of nil Uliliiintiiiii.
LONDON , Juno 9. The morning papers
are beginning to talk quite sorlousfy of the
poEslblllty ( of war In South Africa. Mr.
Chamberlain , secretary of state for the col
onies , in his speech in the House of Commons
yesterday , announced that his reply to the
petition of the Ultlanders , which had been
held back , pending the conference at Bloein-
foateln , would now be presented to the
Transvaal. This reply Is soml-offlclally de
scribed as ' 'explicit , but conciliatory , " tout
Is believed to bo In the nature of a practical
1 ' ' aio
ultimatum/'Tho'resources of dlplonfacy
regarded as exhausted.
The Dally Chronicle deprecates Mr. Cham-
berlln's warlike attitude , but does not deny
the gravity of the situation and seriously
counsels" the Boers to grant reasonable re
forms "as the only means of preserving their
Independence against the plots of the stock
exchange and violence ot Downing street. "
The Standard , which reminds the Trans
vaal that Its Independence Is not absolute ,
but Is contingent uopn a faithful execution
of the agreement stipulating equal rights
for all white Inhabitants , says :
"Wo now demand that all Englishmen
resident in the Transvaal shall be treated
with Justice ; and President Kruger may
rest assured that the whole country win sup
port the government In any measures re
quired to make this demand effective. "
The Times says : "Let Mr. Kruger grant
the Ultlanders full citizenship nnd Uie whole
question is ended. At present ho only offers
a note of hand for a ridiculous sum , payable
many years hence , In return for our Imme
diate abandonment of all the legal rights wo
TICW possess for enforcing the payment of
debts long overdue. "
The Capo Town correspondent of the
Times says : "At the close of the conference
Mr. Kruger declared ho was pleased at the
friendly way In which matters had been dis
cussed and' hoped 'they ' would understand
each other better In future. "

EXPLAIN THEIR DOCTRINES

llrotlierliooil of Mini Hold u
Meeting in Uinnlin.
Omaha Is entertaining1 a distinguished
delegation of leaders In the organization
known as the Universal Brothcrhocd of Man.
In the party are Mrs. Catha'rlue A. Tlngley ,
head ot the organization In the world ; Miss
A. Fabla of Cuba , Mrs. R. Greene of Mas
sachusetts , Mrs. A. L. Clcather , Miss At-
klnsou and Basil Crump of England , H. T.
Patterson and F. M. Pierce of New York.
The congress of the 'brotherhood ' was held
In California In April , and these officials
have been making a tour of the principal
cities of the west since that time , gradually
making their way to the cast. They will
stop In Omaha two days. They held u
public meeting at Unity church last night
and will hold another tonight. Mrs. Tlngley
will address the meeting this evening and
will tell of the work of 'the ' brotherhood.
There was not a large audience at Unity
church last evening to attend what was
termed the preliminary meeting. Several
addresses wore made on the different phases
of the organization by as many workers , and
these talks wcro Interspersed by music.
Luclen Copeland of this city called the
meeting to order , nnd Introduced Mr. Pat
terson of New York as the chairman. Ho
In turr Introduced Mr. Crump of England ,
who Is a member of the bar there , and who
spoke for nearly an hour , giving a sketch
of Iho organization. In the course of hU
remarks ho said :
"There has never been a period In our
history when the work of this brotherhood
has not boon carried on under some name.
It was organized In the present century
by 'Mine. Blavatsky under the name of the
Theosophlcal Society or the Brotherhood of
'Man. ' She began the work almost unaided
and kept It up until 1891 , when she died.
She said in her teachings that there was
nothing new In the work and the same Is
true today. It Is n embodiment of old
doctrines. , The purpose Is to unite all people -
plo In one common brotherhood , regardless
of race , cr < > ed or position.
"Mtne. Blavatsky was succeeded by Wll-
llaim Q. Judge , who died In 1896 , and he
was succeeded by 1Irs. Tlngloy. The or
ganization during this period Jias been , con
fronted 'by ' many difficulties , but yet has
made n remarkable growth. In England
wo have to contend with Mrs. Anna Besant ,
but wo have nothing to do with her or
ganization. Thousands in all parts of the
world , even among the savages , are working
with our organization.
"Tho Universal Brotherhood was organ
ized In Chicago In February of last year ,
where It was merged with the Theosophical
society , and after some discussion the for
mer name was adopted for general use , the
latter becomlnc the name of a department.
Many mushroom growths have been started
by those who had alms of their own they
wished carried out and these have served
to confuse the public. The real organiza
tion , It should bo remembered , has the
Straight line of leaders Mmo. Blavatsky ,
William Q. Judge and Catharine A. Tlngloy.
The doctrines or laws of this organization
may bo summed up In four short sentences :
The imminent God , the brcthorhood of man ,
the law of compensation nnd the law of
rebirth , all of which will be explained more
fully by Mrs. Tlngley , "
Mrs. CItather was Introduced as a pupil
of Mme. Blavatsky , a friend of Mr. Judge
and a companion of Mr . Tlngley. The
point upon which ( the chiefly dwelled was
the necessity for a leader.

WASHINGTON , Juno S. The Industrial
commission resumed Its Investigation of
trusts , the Standard Oil company receiving
special attention. W. It. Clark of Ohio , who ,
until last February , was employed by th
Standard Oil company In vnrloun towns In
that state , but was suspended , tcstltled that
whli'o employed at Marietta the Standard
had ousted other companies from the busi
ness by competition am\ \ then put up the
price of oil. Ho Bald that eight nominal
grades ot oil were sold out of only two
tanks , the faucet being turned Ui different
directions for different grades. This , he
said , was done under Instructions from the
managers for the Standard company , Messrs.
Matthews and Holllngswortlv Mr. Clark
also said that the company bought nnd sold
turpentine , but before selling It would put
six or seven gallons of gaoi'lni > In each bar
rel ot turpentine.
At Columbus Mr. Clark was the cashier
of the Standard company. At that point , ho
said , much oil was adulterated. For In
stance , miners' oil was made by mixing In
a llttlo cottonseed oil. Hero the Standard
company started what Is called the Shoe
maker Oil company. This was a purely
Standard company , ho tretlflcd , its men be
ing paid toy the Standard company , but It
wan niado to appear to be an Independent
concern and was used as n blind.
At Sprlngflold , Mr. Clark eald , he- was a
wngon salesman and the Instructions there
wcro to get trade regardless of the price.
Some refined oil \\ns sold as low as 4 cents
and hero also as many as four nominal
grades of oil were taken from ono tauk.
Rebates were made 'When necessary. When
ho had spoken to the management ot the
dishonesty of these actions ho had been told
that It was not for him to say about such i
matters , but to do what ho was told.
Competitor fioei to I'oorlioiiNe.
At Urbatia ho salll ho was manager for the
Standard company. Hero ia competitor wn
driven out by a throat to force the prlco
down to 1 cent a gallon. The competitor
afterward went to the poor house. Witness
for a time was manager at Newark. Hero
the work v > as very hard , because of the
great range of prices. There were twcnty-
flvo different figures used there. Ono man
would get oil for 7 cents , while his tioxt
door neighbor would pay 914 cents. Re
bates also wcro given to especially favored
patrons. Thcso were made Under the In
structions of B. A. Matthews , as were all
changes In price or terms.
At Newark a customer wanted oil from
Cleveland , lie- was uupplled put of a barrel
painted red nnd marked as If from Cleve
land. Ho received the same oil , however ,
that other people got.
The witness said that laborers for the
Standard company were generally paid 75
cents a day and that they worked on an
average twelve hours ta day.
There was , ho said , often differences of 2
cents a gallon In the price of oil In places
whcro there was competition and places
where there was none.
