BERLIN, March 16.-The most strik ing (.-attire during Friday's and to days debate !n th reichstag was Uie unanimously manifested feeling of wcjirluMS over the "China adventure." It was a regular chorus of ''Let us get out from China." The Social speakers said: "(let out at any price." The Radi cal l'?ft and center said: 'Get out as soon as honor permits." Even the Con servatives said as much, though all parties rocoyrnlieed the fact that the 123.noO.iioa marks demanded as the ihird installment of expenses must be voted. Indeed the entire nitlon.ts thoroughly tired of China. P.VYINV. FOR CHINA EXPEDITION.

X.EYV YORK, March 16. The execu tive committee of the American Asia tic Association has transmitted to Pres ident McKlnley the protest of the Amer ican Asiatic Association of Shanghai against the Russo-Chlnese agreement received some time ago. The committee accompanies the pro test wilh resolutions, which are. ac cording to th preamble, framed "on the authoritative announcement that there Is in process of negotiation and already on the point of ratification a conven tion between Russia and China pro viding nr the military and adminis trative control of Manchuria by the former power," Th resolutions are as follows: "Be it resolved, That this committee give its emphatic endorsement to the protest of the, American Association of "China against the pending Riisso-Chi-nese agreement as a blow aimed directly I at the integrity of the Chinese gffflpjre and at the present -nfl jpective in terests Amfriean lrade vhich de "T)end on maintaining equality of com mercial opportunity in the greatest un dt'VeUied market of the world, also "Resolved, That an immediate and vigorous protest on the port of the government of the United States against the establishment of a Russian protectorate over Manchuria is the more necessary because, if allowed to pass unchallenged, it must inevitably be come permanent and thus lead to the territorial dismemberment of the Chi nese empire and no further step of that process could be consistently op posed If consent be, openly or tacitly, given to this one." POPULATION OF GERMANY. People Feel Great Pride in Way Which They Have Outstripped France. in WASHINGTON. March 16. The cen sus offlc? lias received through the state department a consular report on the population of the German empire and its changes during the past century. That population is now about fifty-six millions, larger than that of any coun try In Europe except Russia, which has In Europe alone over one hundred and six million subjects. Since 1871, when the modern German empire was organized, the population of Germany has increased about 33 per cent, a growth extremely rapid for an old country and for one sending out large and etady streams of emigrants. The Germans feel a natural pride In the rapid growth of their population says the report, compared with that of their rival across the Rhine. In 1845 France had about thirty-six mil lion inhabitants and Germany thirty four million. Now France has about thirty-eight millions or only two-thirds the number of Germany. AFRAID OF MILITIA. Attempt of Twelve Nebraska Convicts to Escape Was Frustrated. LINCOLN, March 16. Only the pres ence of the Nebraska militiamen on guard at the gUte penitentiary prevent ed the escape of twelve convicts from that Institution. Mounting from the iloor of the cell house to the top of the roof through a ventilator flue, after first sawing through an" Iron grating and big Iron bars at the lower end, the twelve prisoners looked over the top edge of the front wall down to the road below only to see f'ir vigilant guard men pitrollng ceaselessly along the front of the building. Though the criminals had rope ample to lower them to the ground, they dar ed not risk a meeting with the mill tlamen and, cowed from the accomplish mcnt of their purpose, they huddled down together In the groat drain trough along the edge of the roof Just behind the abutting wall and lay thvre shivering, some with shoes, others only In their underclothing, till they were dlscov;red by Deputy Warden Rowers In the morning nd marched down to dark dungeons below. The cell from which the attempt was made Is the July portion of the pent tentlary which was not destroyed In the fire of two weeks ago. It Is un fittej with cells or any prison equip mcnt, having never before bien used The men, 2S5 In number, are herded there in a bunch at night and sleep on Improvised vo.d-n hunks. These are ranged along the .vail, In which Is the mouth of the ventilator and screened the men In their work, which they have been carrying on at night ever since the flre. and intended to culmin ate last night. The ventilators are of stone and run straight up through the solid outside wall, being 18 inches square on the Inside. The convl'.-ts, equipped with a plum Ivr's metsl saw, two cold chisels, two sledg'. files and a dagger, their pos- sis.-lnn of which is unexplained, cut Ihroiirh the heavy Inn grating over the flu opening and then through steel bars farther up. The men took a quantity of rope from the broom fac tory and worked up 43 feet to the top the ventlutor tower. They dropp.-d to the roof, but feared to f.uv the sol- dieis, having ynp-ised that nfl watch or a very loose one was kept. At roll call 'n the morning the absen tees were discovered and later found on the roof. ENGLISH CONTROL HI-:.. X.NIIED. Public Document Refers to Former Re publics as Annex, j by Gr.u Britain. CHICAGO, March 16 A special to the Chronicle fiom Washington says: In the annuil review of the commerce of the United States with foreign coun tries, published by the state depart ment, which made its appearance to day, the commerce of the South African Republic is presented under tfie heading of "The Transvaa!" and that of the Orange River" Free State under that of the "Orange River Colony," the names by which the republics have been d's ienated since their Invasion. A footnote under each explains that the two repub lics have been annexed by Great Brit ain. This is the first public official ex pression that the United Stat-s recog nized the extinction cf the republics and it is also the first official recognition given to the annexation by any of the powers. The European governments have held that the annexation cannot be considered as an accomplished fact until Englanl has formally acquainted the powers of the ann-'-xation of t republics done. which has so far not been PHP.SlbENT HAS RESIGNED.

They declare that nearly one-fourth of the coff crop of last y.'ar In the Matagalpa and Jinotega coffee districts was lost because of lack of sufficient transportation facilities. They propose to solve the difficulty by getting the government of Nicaragua to assist them to Imptvve the condition of the dirt road between the National railroad at Momotombo and Matagalpa so that automobiles car. be us-d to draw trains of cars loaded with coff.v. cK-va, etc.. over the road without endanger ing the auti mobiles.

CROOKED WORK ALLEGED. President of the Virginia Coal and Coke Company Petit! ins for Removal of Receivers. NEW YORK, March 16. Treasurer E. B. Craig, of the Virginia Coal arid Coke Company, who is In the city, con Inns the report that George L. Carter, president of the company, has applied to Judge Paul, of the federal court of Virginia, to have the receivers re moved on the ground that they are in very dose relations with Moore and Schley, who had the finarclng of th ? company. Two of the members of that firm were jn the directory of the Vir ginia Iron, Coal an 1 Coke Company. Officers of the company claim that Moore and Schl-sy charged t'o'0,000 for financing the company, but also retain ed $S50,'JOO In. bonds. When persistent demands were male for the r-funding of the latter sum, it Is said that Grant B, Schley, who ccntrolled a majority of the board of seven directors, -.-ed the concern to be placed In the hands of receivers. Henry K. McIIaig, of New York, and Cornelius Shields, of Bristol, Tenn., were appointed, In spite of the protests of George L. Carter, president of the company, who Is a large shareholder of the stocks and bonds. This company was organized in Jin uary, 1S99, with a capital of $10,000,000, and $10,000,000 In bonds. SULTAN'S DEAL IS OFF. Will Not Purchase a Cruiser From the Cramps. NEW YORK, March 16. A special to the Times from Washington says: The arrangement by which the sul tan of Turkey was to pay his debts to the United States under cover of the purchase of a cruiser from the Cramps has fallen through. The Cramps have not begun work on the Turkish cruiser and will not do so. The prime cause of the failure of the device m ingeniously contrived by the sultan was the shrewd move of Germany, recorded In European dispatches last December. Germany was determined that If the American claims were paid hers should be paid as -well. It was impossible to assume that the American claims would be paid, for the sultan had so cleverly contrived the payment that he would be able to reply to Germany that he was merely buying a warship and was not paing any debts, Germany th ra fore flanked the sultan by making lu r demand, not for the payment of an Indemnity, but for the payment of a bill owed the Krupn concern for ar mor before she bought any more war material. This mow of Oermany. It Is now learned, has been completely successful. The sultan was able to pretend that he was not going to pay the American InoVmnlty but he could not pretend that he was 'negotiating with the Cramps for a ship. The negotiations with the Cramps, therefore, had to fall. CARNEGIE'S GREAT OUT. Prominent New Yorkers Express Their Approval. NEW YORK. March IS. Discussing the conditional offer of Andrew Carne gie to give $5,200,000 for a system of public libraries In New York City, Bis hop Potter Is quoted In the World as' saying: . "Mr. Carnegie must lw credited with hu!ng performed a most noble deed In making such an offer to the city. The least the city can do Is to pro vide the sites for the proposed branch libraries. It Is by such deeds as this by Mr. Carnegie that a nation Is up lifted." Seth Low "Such a stupendous and magnificent gift marks an epK h In philanthropy." Edward M. Shepard "Mr. Carnegie's gifts go far toward relieving that diffi cult probl'in how the rich men can give money without corrupting the re cipient. The requirement of self M liv ing co-op.ralion by the beneficiary seems to me the n ost admirable fe i- lure of thet'e marvelous and noble j gifts." I Dr. C.
