BERLIN, Dec. Sit is rumored to-
night that China has ceded Kiao-Chau
to Germany. Whether the report be
true or not there is every indication
in the preparations for the expedition
under Prince Henry that long stay is
contemplated. Emperor William will
make the departure of Prince Henry's
squadron from Kiel the occasion for
an imposing naval display. The Bran
denburg, ffrst-class battleship of more
than 10000 tons displacement, and the
Wurtemburg, a second-class battle
ship Of nearly $500 tons, while coming
from Christiana to Kiel to take part
in the display, collided. Both vessels
were injured, the Wurtemburg so bad
ly that it was necessary to send her
to dry dock.
Prince Henry Of Prussia, commander
of the second squadron of German war
ships bound for Kiao-Chau bay, visited
Prince Bismarck and remained two
hours in consultation with the great
statesman. 1t is understood that the
far Eastern situation was thoroughly
discussed. On leaving Prince Bis
marck, Prince Henry said: Let me
also salute that brow which my grand
father so often kissed" He then kissed

LEGALLY DEAD.
Odd Claim by the Attorney of a
Pennsylvania Murderer

Odd Claim by the Attorney of a
Pennsylvania Murderer.
PITTSBURG, Dec. S.-The execution
of the negro, Phillip Hill, which was
set for today, has been postponed in
definitely. Failing to ahear favorably
from Gov. Hastings upon the applica-
ton of Hills mother for a respite. his
attorneys took out a writ of error to
the supreme court this morning and
the execution was postponed. Hill
was convicted of the murder of George
Lawrence, railroad labor boss
The postponement of the execution
caused a sensation in legal circles
George H. Kane, one of the young
members of the bar who acted as
Hills counsel, is supported by several
judges of the county courts as we'll as
by many of the leading attorneys
Mr.. Kane says: Philip Hill is legally
dead; we shall ask for writ of habeas
corpus to have his body turned over
to his friends, and if necessary will
take the case through the supreme
court of the United States. The writ
of error, as we notified Gov Hastings
should never have acted as super
cedas or stay of execution under the
act of 1897. and he is regarded by the
law as I see it as dead"
The postponement of an execution
by writ of error is something unheard
of in the history of this state before.
1t is almost exactly parallel case to
that of Theodore Durrant, the San
Francisco murderer whose execution
was prevented by the same sort of an
application, but according to the laws
of California the sheriff can fix the
date for the hanging himself after
wards.

Japanese Views Regarding
Hawaiian Annexation
Unchanged,

~ MAHA, Neb.. Dec. S.-Toru
Hoshi, Japanese minister to
the United States, passed
through Omaha this evening en-
route to Washington, accompanied
by his private secretary. In an in
terview with reporter Of the AS
sociated Press, Mr.. Hoshi admitted
that the object Of his mission to
Japan was to ascertain the views
of his government on the proposed
annexation of Hawaii, and TO pro-
cure instructions from the mikado
relative to the course he was ex-
pected to pursue in case the treaty
shall be ratified by congress.
"The impression has gone out to
the American PRESS said Mr..
Hoshi, that we propose to recall the
protest entered by Japan against the
acquisition of the Sandwich Islands
by the United States government.
This is misleading and untrue. Japan
has always maintained amicable re-
lations with the United States, ana
it is not our purpose now to take
any steps that would lead to
breach of mutual good will, but at
the same time Japan will stand firm
ly in the maintenance Of its rights
and privileges acquired under treaty
with the Hawaiian government. II
the United States decides to annex
Hawaii, we hope to be able to en-
force our terms for indemnity for
the violation of treaty rights in the
expulsion OF Japanese immigrants
from the islands and their exclusion
from the right acquired under our
treaty.

The Beauties of a Foreign Policy.
Spanish Press Demands
That the Yankees Be
Taught a Lesson.

NR ADRID, Dec. 8.-The premier,
IYl senor sagasta, in an inter-
view regarding President Nc
Kinley's message TO congress, is
quoted as saying he thinks the mes
sage satisfactory, because the threat
to intervene in Cuba was made mere
ly to give satisfaction to a portion
of American opinion, without the in
tention of executing it,
Continuing, the premier said the
government would not make a de-
claration on the subject. He be-
{. lieved the presidents words would
have influence with the insurgents,
and added that the cortes would not
be convened until the government
had ascertained the effect of the
message upon the United States con-
gress.
The Imperial, commenting on the
message, says: "It shows a certain
cleverness and evil intention when
1t refers to filibustering expeditions.
Mckinley speaks with what appears
to be excessive cynicism to those
who have not lost all notion of JUS
tice. This government must show
the Yankees that the Spanish flag
floats over Cuba. and that they have
yet to tear it down."
La Correspondence de Espana, the
official organ, says that after reflec-
ton, Spanish opinion on President
McKinley's message to congress is
less optimistic than at first. 1t pro-
ceeds to impugn the sincerity of
the presidents protestation OF friend
ship for Spain and OF respect for in
ternational obligation, but it admits
that the message was addressed to
congress principally and in language
which, though not intended to please
Spain will annoy ji1goes and fill
busters"

festations of their congratulations
During the evening Mother McKin-
ley again aroused from her sleep. She
lay quietly and restfully on her bed,
the president at her side watching in
tently and hopefully for some sign of
recognition. The awakening, however,
was not accompanied by any appre-
ciable rally. This was the condition
at 11:30 o'clock. Up to that hour the
patient remained in the deep sleep in
which she reposed all day When the
doctor made his last ell, finding her
in this sleep, he thought she would live
until morning. She was still growing
weaker, but so slowly that unless
material change came her strength
would hold out during the night

CANTON, O., Dec. S.-All day the
children Of Mrs. Nancy Allison Nc
Kinley were near her bedside watch
ing for indications Of hopeful change.
They were disappointed. There was no
ray of light on the face which betok-
ened returning consciousness. She has
been lying in lethargic repose as if in
sleep most of the time. She is gradual
ly, but surely, growing thinner. Abner
Mckinley says the family are hoping
against hope that she may show a
better condition, but her state during
the day had been such that the watch
ers think the end is gradually drawing
near.
The doctor saw the patient early this
evening. He said he could not see ma
terial change, but the weakening pro-
cess continues steadily. He is prepared
for dissolution at any moment, but at
the time of this visit he had not aban-
doned hope that she would continue in
life during the night, and possibly
longer. Members of the family at the
same hour did not seem to be so hope
full. They have been more constantly
to them the steadily increasing weak
ness all day was more apparent than
to the doctor. Charles r. Miller, who
has been almost constantly at the
house, said that he had not previous
ly noted such continued weakness as
was noted during today This was also
accompanied by higher temperature,
and he could scarcely hope that the
patient would live beyond midnight.
He further said the others of the rela-
tives felt fully as apprehensive.
The president is almost constantly at
the bedside, refusing to be relieved by
others and to take the rest and eX-
ercise he should. While it has been a
matter the president has declined to
discuss or to give any information
about to his friends and impossible for
the reporters to secure any informa-
ton upon it, it is believed from the in
dications at the postoffice and the tele-
graph office that he is receiving numer-
Gus congratulations from the people of
the country on his message to congress.
The sad circumstances of the visit to
his home at this time have not pre-

The Annual Meeting of the Ameri-
can Society.

PHILADELPHIA Pa, Dec. S.-The an
nual meeting of the American Church Mis-
sionary society was held here this afternoon.
Gen. Wager Swayne, U. S. A, the president
of the society, presided. Bishop Peterson
made the opening prayer. Rev. j. Thompson
Cole, general secretary, New York, submit
ted the report OF the executive committee.
1t stated in part: '"The apparent loss to the
society from the misconduct OF its late treas
urer has been once more increased by the
amount of Sc, 1886, the principal of second
mortgage, which was given by him to the
society and which a forced sale under the
first mortgage has extinguished. The income
on the Ely fund of $4,000 has been for many
years devoted to Griswold college, Iowa. In
compliance with the terms of the deed, the
committee have withheld the income for a
year and appropriated it to the theological
seminary Of Virginia. The society has re-
ceived during the year S7,614 in special con-
tributions for church building in Brazil"
Addresses were made by Bishop Peterson,
Bishop Whitaker and Rev. W. C. Brown on
the work of the society.
The election of officers resulted in the
choice of Gen. Wager Swayne president.
Among the honorary vice presidents are:
Bishop H. R. Whipple. Minnesota; w. H.
Hare, South Dakota; D. S. Brewer, Montana;
Bishop Gilbert, Minnesota L. H. Wells,

IL Hope Gone.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. Slate this
the last hope of w. H. T. Durrant, the
murderer of Blanche Lamont and Min
ME Williams, by disposing in a sum-
mary manner of his two appeals. In
written opinion from the pen of Chief
Justice Beatty, which is concurred in
by all but one Of mis- associates, the
court affirms the judgment of Judge
Bahers in remanding the prisoner to
San Quentin until the date set for his
execution, but reverses the sentencing
of Durrant to be hanged on Nov. II,

and remands the case to the superior
court with instructions to proceed ac-
cording TO law AS the remittur was
ordered issued forthwith and the court
holds that execution can only be stay
ed now by the issuance of a certificate
of probable cause, 1t only remains to
resentence the condemned murderer,
which will probably be done tomorrow.
Justice Garoutte alone dissented from
this opinion, maintaining that Dur
rants appeal should have been dis
missed, as the time required by law
for their perfection had been allowed to
lapse.

FIGHTING BEFORE NIKKI.
French Troops Warmly Received by

LAGOS, West Coast of Africa, Dec.
8.-Additional advices just received
from the interior say that French
troops had five engagements with the
natives before effectively occupying
Nikki, the capital of Borgu. The king
of that country fled to the bush. Both
France and Great Britain claim that
the Borgu territory is within the sphere
of their influence. Great Britain claims
the whole country of Borgu under the
Anglo French convention of 1890. Capt
Lugard, for Great Britain, outdistanced
Commander De Couer in making a
treaty with the king of Borgu, but the
French hold that such a treaty is null
and void from the fact that France has
effectively occupied DahOmey and is
therefore entitled to it's Hinterland in
accordance with the spirit and letter
of the treaty of Berlin.
