of Illinois. Mr.. Adamson says II Will not

provisions are uncertain and defective. MT:
Mann protests that the curious anomaly OF
the railroads themselves seeking to prevent
other people from fixing passenger rates
lower than the railroads desire Is the most
extreme exercise of the governmental au-
fhoritv to prescribe rates. Continuing, Mr.
Mann says: IF Congress by legislation pre-
vents the undue lowering of passenger
rates it ought to give authority to prevent
the unreasonable raising of passenger
rates which neither exists nor is proposed
by this bill. This enactment is purely in
the interest of the railroad companies
without comforting any additional author
ity to prevent discrimination and extor-
lions now frequently practiced- 1t would
have been far better to have attempted TO
correct some of the gross evils now exist
ing as to freight transportation and to
have protected the business and shipping
interests of our country as well as the non

BERLIN Jan. 24.-Before the budget COM
mittee of the Rechstag to-day Baron Won
Bulow, the minister for foreign affairs, said
that the negotiations with China now con-
cluded had resulted:
First--In the Governor of Shan-Tung be-
ing removed and forever debarred from
holding high office: six high officials named
by Germany had also been removed and
punished, and proceedings had been insti-
tuted for the punishment of the actual per-
petrators of the crime.
Second-Chna had promised to pay 5000
taes for the material losses of the mission
Third-As atonement for the death of the
missionaries three churches were to be
erected each provided with an imperial
tablet showing them to be under the pro-
lection of the Chinese Emperor one at
Tsin-Nig, another at Tsao-Chou-Fu, and a
third at the place where the murders were
committed. China grants $1,000 taels for
each church and free, sites Another A,OO0
taels is assigned for building seven secure
residences for the Catholic prefecture of
Taso-Chou-Fu.
Fourth-A special imperial edict is issued
for the protection of the German missions.

Bishop Amer regards the imperial protec-
ton tablets as extremely advantageous. The
privilege is rarely accorded, and will con-
siderably heighten the prestige of the Cath

The German government believes it has
done all that is necessary for the prevention
of further outrages. The best guarantees,
however, are the permanent presence, under
the treaty of German men-of-war and a
garrison at Kiaochau. by which it is hoped
the authorities and population of China will
not again forget that no wrong done to
German subjects will be allowed to pass un-
punished"
Baron Won Bulow, in concluding, said that
the negotiations with reference to the con-
struction of railways and the workings Of
coal mines were proceeding ravorably. The
government chose Kiaochau because it was
not too near the French and British spheres
of interest or Russia's sphere of power
Kiaochau was not an Eldorado, but expert
judges predicted for it sound and steady
commercial development
