fcven Germany Shows Signs of Prepur-

—Karly Settlement Looked For.
Washington,
Oct.
4. — Favorable
news has reached Washington from the
European chancellories, indicating
that a complete agreement as to China
is within sight. The agreement will
be on the basis of the propositions laid
down by Secretary Hay in his note of
July 3, and the subsequent notes treat
ing on the subject. The accord of Rus
sia with the United States is more
complete than was anticipated at first,
and the repoits show that all of the
European nations probably are placing
themselves in position to take advan
tage of the opening made by the Unit
ed States, and soon will be ready to be
gin negotiations for a settlement with
the Chinese government. The Hus
sains already have given notice of such
purpose, and while the text of the
French note on this subject, referred
to in today’s press dispatches, has not
reached the state department, the offi
cials are satisfied that it is correctly
reported and that France, like Russia,
is ready to negotiate at once.
As for Germany, either the position
of that government has been misunder
stood or it has sustained a change of
mind. Possibly the former is the case,
but, however that may be. it is quite
certain from the advices which have
reached Washington that the German
government, upon careful inspection of
the plans tor a settlement projected by
the United States, finds therein noth
ing inconsistent with the German as
pirations, Therefore, it may be ex
pected that Germany, too, will be pre-
pared soon to join in this common
movement toward a settlement. It
may be stated that altogether the pros
pects of an adjustment of the Chinese
difficulties without resort to formal
war are very much brighter than they
were one week ago.

Dr. Clark on the L oirb « and Gains From
the Uprising in China.
Boston. Oct. 4.—At the Congrega
tional ministers’ meeting this morning
the principal speaker was Dr. Francis
A. Clark, president of the United
Christian Endeavor, whose subject
was, “Losses and Gains From the Up
rising in China.” Dr. Clark, who has
visited several mission stations in
North China where the massacres late
ly occurred, says in part:
“The dragon’s teeth of war and mas
sacre were sown by the foreigners who
tiad come in the spirit of commercial
greed to push their conquests. Turn
the tables for a moment and imagine
China forcing her goods upon us at the
point of the sword, sending her opium
here to debauch our youth and com
pelling us to buy it, seizing the whole
state of Massachusetts because of two
Chinamen murdered by a mob, and
we can imagine some of the feelings
which animated the Boxers or the
more intelligent powers behind the
Boxers. A heroic chapter of mission
ary annals has been written, a chapter
whose records can never be dimmed.
The native conveit has proved himself
worthy of the Savior who died for him.
The taunt of rich Christians can no
longer be thrown in his face. China
has been awakened from her sleep of
ages. She can never again fall back
into the same comatose condition as be
fore. A trumpet call has been issued
to the Christians of America ami Great
Britain to go in and jmssess the land,
to see to it that their comrades have
not died in vain.”
Receiver Will Be Arrested.
San Francisco, Oct. 4.—Deputy
United States Marshals Shelly Monck-
ton and George H. Burnham, left to
night for Seattle, from which port they
will embark for Cape Nome on the
steamer Senator next Thursday. They
are charged with the mission of arrest
ing Alex McKenzie, the receiver in a
number of Nome mining suits, and to
bring him before the United States clr-
cut court of appeals to answer for con
tempt in having refused to obey the
writ of supersedeas issued by Judge
Morrow some weeks ago. They are
further instructed to call upon the
United States military authorities to
enforce the return of the various min
ing claims to the people who held
them prior to litigation.
Spanish Minister an Kmbezxler.
New York, Oct. 4.—A dispatch to
the Herald from Valparaiso says: It
is estimated that the amount of money
alleged to have been embezzled by the
ex-Spanish minister, Salvador Lopez y
Guijarro, is more than 1100,000. The
money belonged to Spanish subjects,
who are very indignant. Loez received
the funds from the Chilean government
to pay demands sustained by Spaniards
during the revolution of 1891. He
having presented hie papers of retire
ment, the minister disappeared, with
out paying a cent to the claimants.
Wetumpka, Ala., Oct. 4. — Winfield
Townsend, alias Floyd, a negro, was
burned at the stake in the little town
of Electric, 15 miles from this place,
a half hour after midnight this morn-
ing. The negro's crime was an at-
tempted assault on Mrs. Lonnie Har
rington, whose husband set tire to the
fuel which reduced Townsend’s body
to ashes.
Yesterday afternoon, at 1 o’clock,
the negro, who was a nephew of the
negro Floyd, hanged a week ago for an
attempted asault, attempted to assault
Mrs. Harrington.
Mr. Harrington
was at a cotton gin in Electric. Iiis
home is one mile out of town. The
negrj came to the house and told Mrs.
Harrington that her husband had sent
him to get 20 cents from her. She
told him she had no change. Then the
negro left, but returned in about it)
minutes. The woman's screams were
heard by Bob Nicholls, a negro, who
was passing along the road at the time.
He ran to the house in time to see the
negro escape.
As soon as Mrs. Harrington was n
stored to consciousness, Nichols gav»
the alarm. The news spread rapidly.
All the stores in Electric were instant
ly closed, the ginneries and sawmills
shut down; the people left their wag
ons in the road and their plows in the
fields and gathered for a pursuit of the
negro. The negro was soon found on
the north outskirts of Electric. Theie
he was confronted by his victim, who
identified him.
About 11 o’clock a cowd of several
hundred was in the little village. The
negro was taken to the edge of the vil
lage and preparations for his death
were quickly made. A rope was flung
over the limb of a big oak and 100 men
stood ready to swing him up.
Then a halt was called, and the man
ner of death was discussed by the mob.
A vote was taken, and the balloting
showed a majority of the crowd favored
death at the stake. The stake was
prepared, aud the negro was bound to
it with chains. Fine knots were piled
about him, aud the flames were started
by the husband of his victim. As they
leaped to the negro’s flesli he uttered
wild cries to viod for mercy and help.
The crowd looked on deaf to his cries,
and in an hour the negro was reduced
to asheB.
TowDsend, before being bound, con-
fessed the crime, and said lie was also
implicated with Alexander Floyd, who
was hanged two weeks ago, for an at
tempted assault on Miss Kate Pearson.
He said he and Floyd had planned other
crimes of like character.

MURDER.
Man Bent to Death With an Iron Bar-
No Clew to Assailant.
Wallace, Idaho,
Oct. 4.—Matt
Mailey was found murdered in his
store this morning. Just before 9
o’clock this morning a passer-by saw
his body lying near the rear end of his
cigar store, and notified the officers.
Both doors were locked, and blood on
the floor caused the belief that he had
suicided. When the door was forced,
he was found to have his throat cut
and his skull crushed in three long
streaks. An iron bar 18 inches long
by one and one-half inches wide and
tliree-eighths of an inch thick lay be
side his body, covered with blood, and
fit nicely in the cut places in his head.
A towel had been tied around his bead,
evidently for a gag. An examination
of the premises showed the safe locked,
the money in the drawer undisturbed,
each denomination being in separate
compartments, and a watch was on the
corpse. The body was vet warm but
death had occurred some time before,
either of four wounds being sufficient
to produce it. Nothing was missing
except the key to the door, the mur
derer evidently taking it with him and
locking the door. One witness saw
the deceased enter the store with a tall,
slim man about 6 o'clock, but only had
a back view and did not recognize the
other man.
Mailey had lived in the Coeur
d’Alenes about 15 yeais, and had no
known enemies.

London, Oct. 6.—The London morn
ing papers are virtually engrossed by
the parliamentary general elections,
and they have little to say about the
new Geiman note. The Daily News,
which describes it as “clear, stiaight-
forward and manly,” expresses a hope
that all the European powers and also
the United States will agree with Em
peror William’s last pioposal.
British correspondents in China com
plain of the “weak attitude” displayed
by Great Britaiu aud the Unted States,
as well as the other powers, in with
drawing from Pekin aud displaying
generally a yielding mood.
A dispatch from Tien Tsin, October
2, says: “Gaselee claims that the
British from the gunboat Pygmy were
the first to receive the surrender of the
Shan llai Kwan forts.”
The Morning Post's correspondent at
faku asserts that the persecution of
Christians has been revived in the
province of Shan Tung.
Shanghai dispatches announce the
dismissal of two Tartar generals, who
have been defeated ny Russians in
Manchuria. The head office of the
Chinese commissariat has been re
moved from Ching Kiang, on the Yang
strait, to Taku, aud the viceroys have
been ordered to establish branch offices
in the provinces of Shen Si.
A dispatch to the Daily Express
from Hong Kong reports a serious rising
of Triads in Canton, and the whole
country to the south is said to be in a
ferment. The Hong Kong correspond
ent of the Times, wiring Wednesday,
says:
“A thousand braves have left Canton
to suppress a rebellion instigated by
Triads at Waichau, in the Sauen dis
trict. There is grave unrest in the
two Kwang provinces, and precautions
have been taken at Kowloo.”
Philadelphia, Oct. 5.—There were
no developments of special ini|>ortance
today in the miners’ strike. An in
teresting feature was the Reading Com
pany’s notice to its employes that in
addition to its offer of a 10 pe> cent in
crease, it was willing to euter into
arbitration with them relative to any
grievances they may have. None of
the strikers, however, has yetindicated
an intention to return to work. Af
fairs were extremely quiet today
throughout the anthracite legion.
General Gobin in command of the
state troops recently sent to Schuylkill
county on request from the sheriff, to
day directed another of the regiments
to return home tomorrow. One regi
ment left Monday. There remains but
one regiment, a battery of artillery aud
a company of mounted troops.
A secret conference of the leading
officials of the miners’ organization was
held at Hazleton. At its conclusion,
President Mitchell said the question of
calling a joint convention had not been
considered. He added that out of
142,000 mineworkers, only about 5,000
are at work, and these, he said, would
be out in a short time. The time limit
of the Lackawanna Company’s offer of
increased wages will expire tomorrow,
but strikers generally express their
determination to pay no heed to the
offer.

Shanghai telegrams announce that
the imperial edict, dated September
30, ordering the court to be removed
to Siuan Fu, was issued owing to the
famine at Tai Yuan Fu, capital of the
province of Shun Si. They also ex
press the opinion that the object of the
recent edict regarding the degradation
of the Chinese personages of high rank
is merely to gain time to enable China
to be in a better position to defy the
powers, as the new capital will be vir
tually inaccessible to foreigners. The
Shanghai correspondent of the Morning

remarks: •
“The German troops have no means
of transport, and any attempt to fol

the existence of a Russo-German agree

is notable. Some diminution in the
