Another British Grab.

LONDON, Dec. 31.-Sir Nicholas
O'Connor, former British minister
to China, before he left Pekin pro-
cured the assent of China to the
cession to Great Britain of four
states on the Burio-Chinese from
tier, giving British trade direct
access to Southwest China. The
territory coded is in area eight
times larger than the territory re-
Gently coded by China to France.
British diplomats, therefore,
chuckle and congratulate Sir
Nicholas upon his acumen. An
Anglo-Chinese commission is about
to meet for the purpose OF delimit-
ing the new frontiers. A special
commercial commission has gone
to Yuannan and SZe-Chuen, and
arrangements have been made for
the establishment of British con-
sulates in those Chinese provinces.

Where the Bonds Will Sell

LONDON, Dec. 81. - American
bankers of this city have received
private advices from Berlin, which
confirm the announcement made
by the Wolff News agency regard
ing the new United States loan.
The manager of Brown, Shipley d
Co., when questioned, said nothing
was yet determined as to where
the new issue of bonds would be
placed. He added: "Of course they
will be taken by American banks
and trust companies, and their
London correspondents will no
doubt absorb part of them. The
rate will probably be los in New
York, 10S in London. We were adj
vised this morning there would be
no trouble in placing them in Ger
many"
Mr.. Burns, of Thomas Morgan
& Co., said: "None of the new is
sue of bonds will be floated in Lon
don, owing to the strained rela-
tons between the United States
and Great Britain. The situation
looks graver than ever this morn
ing from a commercial point of
view. This is partly on account of
Senator Sherman's position. The
affair has made wonderful differ
ence in business between London
and New York, and will result in
the withdrawal of most of the
American securities from Eng
land. We are sending home daily
large quantities of these securities,
which we thrust upon the market.
Some new bonds will probably be
placed in Germany, but this has
not yet been decided. in my
opinion our American compatriots
have gone mad"

MRS. ovERMAN DENIES 1T.
Mrs. Davidson Reiterates Her
Charges Against Pastor Brown.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Dec. 3D.
Mrs. Mary Davidson, the Sunday
school teacher, who is under arrest
for an alleged attempt to exact
money from the Rev. DIR. c. O.
Brown, pastor of the First Congre-
gational church, has made public
lengthy statement, in which she
reiterates the charges made against
the minister. Many details are
given, for the purpose of corrobo-
rating the story. Mrs. Davidson
says Mrs. Overman told her the
names of other women who were
known by Doctor Brown. One of
the most interesting features of
the story is the statement that
Mrs. Overman went to a local
newspaper four months ago and
offered to sell story for 1000,
which she said would ruin a prom
inent resident of this city, and
cause a sensation all over the
country. Whom the statement was
first made, Mrs. Overman denied
the assertion. The paper in ques-
tion today prints the interview
with its city editor, in which he
says woman, whom he believes
to have been Mrs. Overman, did
offer to sell him a scandalous story
about prominent man, whom
she refused to name unless paid
1000. Mrs. Overman, who re-
sides in Tacoma, Washington, was
divorced from her husband several
years ago. Her husband, who was
a gambler, was killed in Butte,
Montana. Local ministers and
members of DR.. Browns church
express the utmost faith in his
uprightness. The ministers, at
their weekly meeting, adopted res
olutions of confidence in Mr..
Brown

A LOVERS TRAGEDY.
The Young Woman Finds Out
Which One She Loves

SEDALIA, Mo-, Dec. 3l.-Hawley
Goodrich, who was shot mystic
riously at the home of his sweet
heart, Miss May Montgomery, six
miles south of Sedalia, on Christ
mas day, is still alive, but is not
expected to recover. Sensational
disclosures have developed in con-
nection with the affair. The fatal
ity seems to have been the result
of a case Of jealousy. Goodrich and
Ray Warner were rivals for Miss
Montgomery's hand. They met at
her house, apparently on friendly
terms. The young lady wavered
in her choice of a husband. Her
feelings, it seems, on this delicate
point, were known to both the
ardent lovers. Finally Warner eX-
hibited a revolver. 1t was believed
to be unloaded. Playfully all three
examined it. Then Warner delib-
erately placed the muzzle against
Goodrich's teeth and pulled the
trigger. An explosion followed,
and several teeth were carried by
the bullet through the back of the
victims head. 1t is now charged
that Warner was intent on remov-
ing his rival, and an examination
of the weapon disclosed that with
the single exception, all the cham
bers were empty. The young lady,
who was rendered critically i'll
from the shock, is now nursing
her wounded sweetheart, for whom
she shows a decided preference.
