Agreement
OBJECTION TO THE THIRD CLAUSE
Japan Approves f the Compact,
BcIlcrlnB: It Aimed at Russia
PnoUbment of Tana.
WASHINGTON, Oct SL-The State Ie
partment today made public the British
German agreement respecting the main
tenance of an "open door" and the terri
torial Integrity of China, with the answer
of the United State Government seat in
duplicate to each of the powers to the
agreement. The answer to Lord Paunce-fote-
follows:
"Department of State, Washington, Oc
tober 29. 1900. Excellency: I have the hon
or to acknowledge the receipt of our note
of the 23d of October, encioslns the text
of an agrement between Great Britain
and Germany relating to affairs In China,
which was signed in London on the 16th
Inst, by the Marquis of Salisbury and the
German Ambassador on behalf of their
respective governments, and Inviting the
acceptance by the United States of the
principles recorded In that agreement.
These principles are:
" 1. It Is a matter of Joint and perma
ment International Interest that the ports
on the rivers and littoral of China should,
remain free and open to trade, and to
every other legitimate form of economic
activity for the people of all countries,
without distinction, and the two govern
ments agree on their part to uphold tho
same for all Chinese territory, as far as
they can exercise Influence.
" t Ker Britannlo Majesty's Govern
ment and the Imperial German Govern
ment will not, on their part, make use of
the present complication to obtain for
themselves any territorial advantages in
Chinese dominions, and will direct their
policy toward maintaining undiminished
the territorial condition of the Chlneso
Empire.'
"Tha United States has heretofore made
known its adoption of both these
principles. During the last year this
Government Invited the powers Interested
in China to Join In an expression of views
and purposes in the direction of Impartial
trade with that country, and received
satisfactory assurances to that effect
from all of them. "When the recent trou
bles wera at their height this Govern
ment, on the Sd of July, once more made
an announcement of Its policy regarding
Impartial trade, and the Integrity of the
Chinese Empire, and had the gratifica
tion of learning that all the powers held
similar views. Since that time the most
gratifying harmony has existed among
all the nations concerned as to the end
to be pursued, and there has been little
divergence of opinion as to the details
of the course to be followed.
"It Is, therefore, with muoh satisfaction
that the President directs me to Inform
you of the full sympathy of this Govern
ment with those of Her Britannic Maj
esty and the German Emperor in the prin
ciples set forth In the clauses of the
agreement above cited.
"The third clause of the agreement pro
vides: " 3. In case of another power making
use of the complications In China in or
der to obtain, under any form whatever,
any territorial advantages, the two con
tracting parties reserve to themselves the
right to come to a preliminary under
standing as to the oventual "steps to be
taken for the protection of their own In
terests in China.'
"As fals clause refers to a reciprocal
arrangement between the two high con
tracting powers, the Government of the
United States does not regard Itself as
called upon to express an opinion In re
spect to It.
"I have, etc JOHN HAY."
(A similar note mutatis mutandis was
addressed on the samo day by the Secre
tary of State to the Imperial German
Charge d' Affaires.)
RKTURXIXG TO THEIR POST.
Missionaries Will Be Permitted to
Go Back to Pelcin.
NEW YORK, Oct. 3L Rev. Arthur J.
Brown, one of the secretaries of the Pres
byterian Board of Foreign Missions, today
received a letter from David J. Hill, As
sistant Secretary of State, which covers
various points connected with the present
atatus of tho missionaries In China. The
letter was written In connection with in
formation that Rev. A. M. Cunningham
and his wife, missionaries at Pekln, were
about to return to their post, and re
questing that the United States authori
ties In China be Informed of their pur
pose. If, in th Judgment of the depart
ment, those authorities might Interpose
any objection to their return to the city.
The conditions governing access of for
eigners to the non-treaty towns of the
Interior, Including Pekln, and tholr se
curity there, Mr. Hill writes, "will neces
sarily be considered in the negotiations
for a definite settlement between China,
and the powers. While It would be pre
mature to open access to the Chinese In
terior for our citizens engaged In 'com
mercial or. professional pursuits, there
would seem to be no objection to Mr.
Cunningham's return. Tho United States
forces at Tien Tsln and Pekln would
doubtless afford him all facilities for his
return, not In conflict with regulations
which may have been adopted regarding
the return of foreigners Into the city,
A copy of this correspondence will be
sent to Minister Conger for his informa
tion" POXISHMEKT OP TTJAX.
Conner Wants Htm Beheaded, Bat

NEW TORK. Oct. 81. The Ministers and
Chinese envoys, says a Herald Washing
ton special, are trying to settle the pun
ishment of the Boxer leaders, and It Is
learned that Mr. Conger Is especially de
sirous to have Prince Tuan executed. It
was stated last night by & high official
that the President will be satisfied should
Prince Tnan be degraded. Germany wont
him beheaded.
No steps have yet been taken to esti
mate the lademnlty China should pay the
United States. The War Department Is
preparing to collect information as to- the
cost of the expedition to China. Repre
sentatives of the religious denominations
whose missionaries were killed and in
jured and missions destroyed are con
ferring with Conger and Rockhill, and
private citizens whose property was de
stroyed have submitted claims to the
State Department, but they have all been
notified that such action Is premature.

TONDOXV Oct. ZL The vMarquIs of
Lansdowne's elevation to the Foreign
Secretaryshfp, according to the arinotince
'ments in the newspapers this morning,
has, figuratively speaking, taken the
country's breath, away. It was as unex
pected as It Js unwelcome. Even the
tstanohest ministerial newspapers open
ly denounce it
The Globe declares the appointment
shows that Lord Salisbury Is completely
out of touch with the feelings and wishes
of the electorate and the Conservative
party while the Liberal Westrajatfer
Gazette, crowing over the. discomfiture of
the Ministerial newspapers, which havb
been so loudly demanding the retirement
of Lord Lansdowne, expresses relief at
the fact that Joseph Chamberlain
was not given the post, sayings
"The tatter's appointment would have
filled thoughtful people with dismay, acd
it Is something to have escaped this seri
ous danger."
Lord Salisbury apparently arranged
matters with the Queen at Balmoral a
week ago. His own' Inclination was to
resign the Premiership and devote" him
self exclusively to the Foreign Office.
He wrote Her Majesty to this effect, but
she declined to Accept the suggestlors.
Lord Salisbury therefore went to Bal
moral to discuss the question, -ftlth tre
result that the Queen, carried her point.
Public anxiety s to some extent re
lieved by the prospect that Salisbury's
experience will still be available to dtr ct
the broad lines of policy of tho prospec
tive Foreign Minister.
London Press Comment.
LONDON. Nov. 1. If the Daily Tele
graph's announcement had been a mere
feeler to ascertain the temper of the pub
lic toward Lord Lansdowne's appoint
ment he would certainly never have be
come Minister of Foreign Affairs; but, al
though the appointment to the Secretary
ship h&B not yet been officially confirmed.
It Is accepted on all sides as a settled
thing.
Tho Standard, which says it has learned
that Lord Selbourne, Under-Secretary of
State for the Colonies, and William St.
John Broderick. Under-Secretary of State
for Foreign Affairs, will enter the Cabi
net and that Charles Thompson Ritchie,
president of the Board of Trade, wfll be
given a higher post says:
"The appointment of the Marquis of
Lansdowne as Her Majesty's principal
Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs is
an almost inconceivable blunder. He has
neither the character, qualifications nor
experience for such a position. The only
plausible excuse for the appointment Is
that Lord Salisbury will still control the
Foreign Office, while Lord Lansdowne re
lieves him of his routine duties."
The Dally Mall says: "If Lord Lans
downe is appointed Foreign Secretary and
some other gentleman of agreeable man
ners is made First Lord of the Admiralty,
the (country may lament a great opportu
nity lost forever."
The Dally Chronicle says: "We may
well ask whether tho country would have
voted quite so 'khaki' had it known of
this appointment beforehand."
The Dally News says: "It is presum
ably the explanation of the control In
foreign affairs which would have been
Impossible If Mr. Chamberlain had been
appointed. In fact Lord Salisbury will
still be the Foreign Minister, with Lord
Lansdowne as his clerk."
The Times, to a large extent, takes the
the view of the Liberal organs, namely,
that Lord Salisbury will now find time to
be the real Premier and to exercise
greater control over tho whole Cabinet
Instead of a mere nominal control.
Caused Surprise In Wsuihlnffton.
WASHINGTON. Oct 31. The Depart
ment of State has- not yet been advised
of the reported abdication by Lord Salis
bury of the portfolio of Minister for For
eign Affairs. The news comes as a sur
prise, because within the week the most
positlvo assurance had been received here
of tho Premier's definite conclusion to
retain this portfolio. The Inference Is
that strong medical representations touch
ing his health have Influenced Lord Salis
bury In adopting this course.
OASTELLAJTC SPENT TOO MUCH.
Georare Gould Appointed a Trustee
for His Slater.
PARIS, Oct 8L The civil tribunal has
appointed George J. Gould trustee for the
Countess of Castellane, his sister.
Maitro Bonnet, when applying for the
trusteeship, Informed the President of the
court that the Countess herself recognized
that the expeoditure had been too lavish
and that it was necessary for some one
of experience and authority to manage
her affairs. He went on to say that, al
though the Countess was a consenting
party to the trusteeship, It was desirable
that he should furnish precise details.
The Income of tho Countess, he went on.
was 3,000,000 francs. Since the marriage
15,tXX,000 francs had been expended, and
tho debts amounted now to 23,000,000
francs. Tho Gould family had met In
consultation and unanimously decided to
authorize Mr. Gould to moke the present
application.
The debts, Maitro Bonnet says, were the
following': 3,702,000 francs In connection
with tho Charity Bazar building, and the
hotel in the Rue Malakoff, eta; 6,585,260
francs on mortgages payable from 1900
to 1309; 4,293,155 francs of bills for money
loaned; 9,100,000 francs owing to curio
dealers. Maltre Bonnet went on to say
that the creditors distrained on the Seine
et Olse property, and that the family
had to Intervene to prevent the sale.
With regard to tho fitness of George
Gould to be trustee, Maltre Bonnet point
ed out that his fortune was larger than
that of tho Countess; that authority based
on affection would be great, and that no
one was better qualified, as it was George
Gould who was appointed executor of his
father's will. Another consideration was
that the clearing away of the debts would
take a number ot years, and that there
fore, it would bo wise to economize and
not go to the expense of a paid trustee.
The tribunal took, this view. It appears
that the Countess, 'who was not present
in court today, was questioned by Presi
dent Badouin last Friday.
SUSPICIOUS OF CHAMBERL4IN.
Frenchmen Watching? the British
Colonial Secretary.
NEW TORK, Oct SL Joseph Chamber
lain, Secretary of State for the Colonies,
has arrived at Gibraltar, says a London
dispatch to the Journal and Advertiser.
He had a conference with Sir George
White, the Governor, and inspected the
fortifications. H. M. S. Caesar was there
to meet him and convey him to Malta.
His son, also a Lord of the Admiralty, ac
companies him. A Paris dispatch says:

Dr. Copeiand's TTevr Treatment,
that has lifted the darlcaess and

cases of diseases In the Throat,
Bronchial Tnbea and Lanes, vrorlts
Its onratlve action for two reasons t
(1) It reaches every sore spot, from
the orifice of tho sow to the deepest
part of the langt, to tho innermost
receas of the middle oar.
(3) Instead of Irritating, Inflaming,
Bind feeding the sires of the disease,
it soothes, qnlets, heals and cures.
What Is the treatment that cures these
conditions, once regarded Incurable? By
what process does it restore the diseased
membrane, remove the poison and relieve
the soreness of disease? Let the expe
rience o' persons cured and being cured
tell.
How It Cures Catarrh.
Hero is a patient taking treatment for
Catarrh of the Head. He breathes the
soothing medication through his nostrils
and the nasal channels open up, tho
stuffed-up feeling In the head leaves and
he can breathe naturally through the
nose again,- The dull pains across the
front of the head fade away, and the
nasal membrane Is soothed until tho In
flammation and soreness are all gone.
The bad odor of the breath passes away,
and the lost sense of smell returns. The
dropping In the throat Is checked, the
nose does not stop up toward night any
more, the sneezing and snuffing have
ceased, the discharge from the nose
grows less and less and finally stops al
together. The disease has been checked
and eradicated from the system before It
ever reaches the throat. It has not been
driven down Into 'his throat or Into his
lungs or into his ears, as is often, done by
other treatments.

missing. Out of tile whole number, eigftt
are put down by the police as employes
of Tarrant & Co. Not a single body had
up to 10 o'clock tonight been found In
the ruins, though what looked like parts
of bodies have been dug up. It begins
to look as if what remains are In the
mass of debris which still cumbers the
place would be totally unrecognizable,
even should the workmen find them.
For instance, what was supposed to be
parts of bodies taken from, the ruins
last night turned out on examination at
the morgue to bo blackened pieces of
melted gum arable. Again today another
mass was found which the workmen first
thought to be human flesh, but Is now
thought to be melted rubber. The search
ers have found In the ruins of the Home
(Mode Hotel a number of articles, such as
books, a handkerchief, a clgar-holdder,
etc., but whether their owners escaped or
not is unknown.
The authorities aro pushing the Investi
gation into the amount of explosives
stored In 'the building, with a view ot
prosecutions. Along this line. Secretary
Doherty, of the fire department, said to
day: "The combustibles carried by Tarrant
& Ob. were largely In excess of what
were allowed them under tho permit
granted by the fire department, and in
consequence- of this fact they have vio
lated the law- By violating the termd
of the permit they have committed a mis
demeanor which not only vitiates their
Insurance policies out renders them crim
inally liable and responsible for tho dam
age to life and property as a result or
the explosion. The firo Insurance com
panies cannot be held lor the damage."
Protracted litigation between- insurance
companies may ensue relative to the ex
plosions in the ruined buildings. Plate
glass Insurance compalles deny their lia
bility for the many insured windows
which were shattered throughout the
wreoked area in the down-town business
section, and their officials have refused
large claims. They bav referred patrons
who suffered loss to the fire insurance
Companies. Tho latter have detfllne'd
either to pay or take the matter under
consideration. Plate-glass insurance com
panies say they are protected under
clause 4 in the standard policy, which
provides that "this company is not liable
to make good any loss or damage which
may happen by or in consequence of any
fire (whether on tho premises or not)."
Many prominent firo underwriters hold
that damage to buildings caused by ex
plosives or to buildings detached or re
mote from a building where a fire and
explosion occurs is not covered by a fire
Insurance policy. Tho New York stand
ard policy reads:
'This company shall not to liable for a
loss caused by explosion of any kind
unless fire ensues, and in that event for
the damage by fire only."

he threatened to publish In the WaU
