the Prince Of Naples, who is the heir to
the throne, is far more favOrably inclined
toward Russia than toward either Austria
or Germany. As long as King Humbert re-
mains on the throne 1t is impossible for
Italy to withdraw from the triple alliance {;
in any case, not for long number of years
to come, and as long as she remains part
and parcel OF this tripartite agreement she
is bound by Humberts solemn promises
not only to maintain naval and military
ornaments which are altogether beyond
the capacity Of the resources Of the king
dom, but likewise to persevere in policy
toward France which is not merely detri-
mental but absolutely fatal to the industry
and commerce OF the nation. Victor Eman-
uel, Prince OF Naples, is one OF the most en-
ergetic, active and clever princes in Europe.
He Is credited with infinitely more deci-
sion Of character than his father and If he
possesses less heart than Humbert. 1t Is con-
coded by everyone who knows him that he
has more head.

PEKIN, China, Dec. 2-The substance OF the
demands made by the German minister to
China as a result ofthe recent murder Of Ger
man missionaries and the destruction of Ger
man mission property is for the execution of
the slayers OF missionaries, the punishment
of the implicated officials, the RECONSTRUCT

nifty OF GOO, 900 taels to the relatives of the
victims, heavy indemnities to cover the ex-

the maintenance OF the German force ut
Kiae Chou bay, the railroad monopoly Of
the Shan Tung province, where the mission
was situated, and the occupation of Kiae
Chou bay as German coaling station.
China will refuse these demands, but
will express willingness to make ample re-
paration for the killing Of the missionaries
and the damage to tho mission property.
Russia, 1t Is understood, is not yet aiding
China, but the latter country has decided not
to provoke hostilities and to trust to diplo-

TWO BURGLARS CAPTURED.
Crooks Who Robbed the Lemon
Dwelling at San Jose Confess
the Crime,

SAN JOSE, Dec. 13.-George Beachlee
and Niche Martinelli, old offenders, were
arrested yesterday morning by Chief of
Police Kidward for the burglary of Jacob
Lenzen's residence at 175 Vine street on
the night of November %. The capture
was a clever piece of detective work. The
plunder obtained consisted OF 500 in cash
and about $500 worth Of iewelry, the latter
being recovered.
The robbery occurred while the Lenzen
family was at theater, and the fact that
Beachlee and Martinelii left the play
house as the Lenzens entered threw sus-
picion on them. The men were arrested
next day and searched, but no incriminat
ing evidence was found on them. This
did not satisfy Chief kIdward and he mad
the men watched.
Last week Beachlee and Martinelli
made trip TO san Francisco, where each
bought suit OF clothes and spent con-
siderable money in dissi ipation. On their
return they purchased two horses and a
wagon with the intention of taking d
trip TO the southern part OF the State.
Chief Kidward hired a boy to watch the
men and it was learned they had buried
their plunder IN Martinelli's fathers or
chard on the Almaden road, but they re-
moved 1t before the officers could do
dnylnlnB.
Saturday night it was learned the men
we're in Chinatown with the team pre-
paratory to leaving the city. Chief Kid
ward and several officers went 10 the
place and lay in wait for several hours
or the men. When they appeared they
refused TO surrender and escaped amid a
fusillade OF shots.
They were found a short time after
ward hidden in the vicinity. At the
police station they confessed and told
where the booty was buried, under Marti-
nelh Sr.'s house, in East San Jose. Mar
tinelH accompanied the officers to the
place. His father was so enraged that he
took down a loaded shotgun and at
tempted to kill his son. Most of the Jew
eirv was recovered.

w ASHINGTnN Dec Il

WASHINGTON, Dec 13
Professor David Starr Jordan, president
OF the Stanford University, who was the
leading expert for the United States
Government in the seal negotie tions last
autumn, has given his verdict strongly
against any such proposition as that pre-
sented by the bill introduced by Repre-
sentative Johnson of North Dakote, look
ing to the immediate killing of ali seals
on the Seal islands as the best manner in
which to prevent future friction between
the United States and Canada. The report
OF DR.. Jordan, showing in preliminary
way the results of his Investigations in
Bering Sea during the past season will
shortly be published, and meantime, the
following extract shows his opinion:
within the past two years 1t has
several times been proposed that we
should settle the seal question once for
al, by the slaughter of the entire herd on
its breeding grounds. 1t is scarcely
necessary TO point out that this course OF
action would not accomplish the desired
end. As the animals are never all pre- ,ent
at one time on the island, a remnant
would be left which in time would revive
the herd, and with it the whole question.
"In the meantime every objection which
has been urged against pelagic sealing
would be justly chargeable against such
slaughter. 1t would be necessary to lie in
wait for the gravd females and kill them
as they come ashore on land to give birth
to their young or TO provide hem with
nourishment. The young must be slaugh-
tered wantonly or else be left to starye.
The proposition is an abominabIe one,
without single redeeming feature.
The fur seal is the noblest of all the
animals of the sea. From a naturaIist's
point of view it is the most interesting
form of life on the earth. From the COM
mercial view it is one of the most vaIua-
bic. Unlike the buffalo, the elk, the stag
and like animals, it occupies territory that
cannot be used for any other purpose.
great cities have sprung up, but the haunts
OF the fur seal will be q deserted for al. time
il their iDha bitants were destroyed.
Though sadly reduced in mum bers the
nucleus of the fur seal herd is still left.
Under favorable conditions it can be re-
stored. The Pribylo herd once Welded
100, 600 skins annually, worth 81, 600, 600 or
more, and without injury TO itself This
would represent cash value of $25 900, 600
Ii properly protected it will reach this
value again. These figures represent a
sum TOO great to be thrown away in child
ism spite. To slaughter the fur seal herds
ourselves because its preservation is beset
by diplomatic difficulties, in which the
fault has not all been on one side, would
be a confession of i'm potencs unworthy of
a civilized nation. 1t would transfer to
the United States alone and for all lime
the odium for the destruction Ct the fur
seal herds"

DR., Shrady Tells OF Drugs That
Would Produce Symptoms of
ApOplexy.
Special Dispatch to TIE CA11.


NEW YORK, Dec. I3.-Centralo Office de-
Iecliyes were detailed to-day 10 search for
the druggist who compounded an afro
pine prescription noted on the back of
one OF ZanolIs photographs. Zanoli said
be believed the handwriting was his. He
could not explain what he had wanted of
atropine or under what circumstances he
made the memorandum. Zanoli will be
arraigned again il police court to-mor-
row.
The World Tomorrow will say: DR.. G.
f. Shrady, editor of the Medical Review,
and one OF the greatest medical authori-
ties in the United States, said yesterday ::
From medical standpoint the Zanoli
case is complicated. Neither any drug
nor any medical treatment can induce
apoplexy. But poison may have been ad-
NJ Mustered to each one of Zanoli's wives
so as to cause death in way that bears a
remarka e resem blance in appearance
and In symptoms to apoplexY.
This counterfeit apopleXy could eaSily y
be so arranged as to deceive any phys cia n
who did not make an extraordinarily
careful examination. In iact, it might be
that II could not be positively determined
without an autopsy.
Several drugs could be successfully
used foI this purpose. Either strychnine
or arsenic would produce this result. Par
tiCularly Is this true of stIychnine. The
proper cose of strychnine would produce
symptoms Identical with those of apo
p.eIy. The fact that all the physician s
who attended the different women
thought at first they were suffering from
some different and less dangerous disease
than apoplexy looks bad for ZanoIi."
