members of Tammany Hall and New

"blood money," from gambling houses
and other disreputable places of the city
is officially denied by the Tammany com
mittee of five. Lewis Nixon, who is
chairman of ilie committee, has made
public a statement in which he says:
"There is an organization of men

New Complications Arise to Cloud the
Chinese Situation and Delay
Settlement.
New Yokk, Jan. 8. A special to the
Herald from Washington eays : Compli
cations are again clouding the Chinese
situation. A dispatch has been received
from Minister Conger confirming the
report of the failure of the Chinese en?
voys to sign the preliminary agreement
held by the powers. The indemnity
question is causing the authorities con
cern, and the agitation felt in European
chancellories over the Russo-China
agreement regarding Manchuria, has
communicated itself to officials.
Minister Conger will try to induce the
Chinese envoys to accept promptly the
preliminary demands of the powers and
begin the negotiations for a permanent
treaty. The state department has ad-
dreesed inquiries to the powers as to the
method to be pursued to reach a speedy
and effective disposition of the claims
for indemnity. Europe will be allowed
to deal with the Russo-Chinese agree
ment, the United States not entering,
for the present, at least, into the dis
cussion, or impugning Russia's purpose
to evacuate Manchuria. At the same
time the authorities think it advisable
for the protection of American interests,
to keep advised of Russia's conduct, and
it la now watched with the keenness
with which every act of Germany and
Great Britain ia scrutinized.
It ia understood that the next cabinet
meeting will consider the Chineae ques
tion especially with relation to the in
demnity, and it ia expected that this
government will finally recommend that
the matter be left to The Hague court of
arbitration.
Washington, Jan. 8. Minister Conger
cables the state department that there ia
ground for the belief that the empress
dowager ia opposing the acceptance by
China of the demands of the powers.

ing, when thu pain became so intense
that hu concluded to come to a hospital

yet thu patient grow worse rapidly and
died.
Miss Boono had remarked in Mr.
Sloan's presence that alio had never been
kissed. To this remark Mr. Sloan re
plied that he would tull her fortune. He
tied a handkerchief ovor her eyes, follow
ing this procedure with a kiss. She
resented, and reaching for a hat pin,
thrust it into hia kneu with the result
noted. Miss Boone is 15 years of ago
ami well regarded in anil about Prescott.
Mr. Sloan haB madu hia home at
Prescott for severol years. He waa un
