New Lighthouse Vessel Rides Worst
Storm Known On Coast.
Information has been received by
the lighthouse board at Washington
that the new lighthouse vessel No. SO,
which was recently placed on the dia-
mond shoal Off Hatteras, rode out the
recent storm successfully.
Reports from stations along the
coast show that the storm was the
most severe in many years and the sue
cess with which the new vessel rode 1t
out is regarded as proof positive that
the contention, that no vessel could be
held in that position through q heavy

FORT FROM THE CELEsTIALS.

The Sultan of Turkey VIII Make Amends
to Austria For Insults offered
the Latter's Agents.

Adviees received from Shanghai,
China, state that the commander Of
the German cruiser Division, landed
troops at Kiao-Chau on the evening Of
November 18th. The three forts were
held by 1900 Chinese and their guns
commanded the feet. Admiral Won
Deiderich placed his four cruisers i'm
mediately opposite, ready to fire, and
sent an ultimatum ordering the evacu-
ton of the forts within three hours.
Six hundred German troops and six
guns were then landed and began to
march forward. The Chinese hest
tated few moments and then the
whole body bolted heller SHELTER across
the hills behind the forts. The Ger.
mans quietly entered the Notifications,
hauled down the Chinese flag and
hoisted the German standard, which
the warships saluted Immediately. The
Chinese general, who had his family
with him, did not fee, but claimed
German protection. The forts are
now held by the Germans, who, it is
believed at Shanghai, intend to re-
main permanently.
In off cial Chinese circles Germany
is considered to have committed an act
of war, but It'll regarded as improbable
that China, on account of her weak
ness will take action upon it as such.
American and British warships have
been ordered to Kiao Cbau to watch
developments. The greatest interest
is felt as to the result of Germany's ac-
ton, because the region is immensely
rich in minerals, and the harbor is the
best along the coast.
1t is now asserted that the murder
of the two German marines near Yen

The board of managers point out in the
new rules and regulations that 1t is the
express declaration and intention of the
law that no application for release shall
be made by friends or relatives. They
say that each inmate must by his conduct

The managers of the institution have
adopted the rule that an inmate will not
be paroled until employment for him on
the outside has been secured. The person
who expresses a willingness to employ a
paroled prisoner is furnished a blank
agreement which is signed and returned
to the board of managers. The inmate
when released signs an agreement that
he will proceed at once to the place of
employment provided for him; that in
case he finds 1t desirable to change his
employment he will first notify the mana
