Durrant, the Murderer, Hanged.
China Has to Bend the Knee.

Dispatches from Berlin and Pelxin
state that an understanding has been
reached between Germany and China
regarding the cession of Kiao- Chou bay
to the former. 1t is intended by the
cession To render possible for Ger
many the fulfillment of her just wish
for the possession of a base for trade
and navigation in Chinese waters.
Germany is at liberty to erect on the
ceded territory all the necessary build
ings and establishments, and to take
the measures required for their pro-
lection. The coded territory comprises
the whole of the inner basin of Kiao-
Chou bay, so far as the high-water
line, the larger headlands situated
south and north of the entrance of the
bay, to the point where they are nat
urally bounded by mountain ranges,
and also the islands situated within
and in front of the bay. No obstacles
are to be raised by China to any meas
ures Germany deems necessary for the
regulation of the water courses.
If for any cause Kiao-Chou bay
should prove unsuitable for the objects
Germany has in view, China, after ar
irving at an understanding with Ger
many, will cede another piece of terri
tory on the coast which Germany may
regard as more suitable for her purpose

Tee House Collapsed-Two Men Dead.
A mammoth ice house being erected
by the Toledo Ice Co., at Whitmore
Lake, Mich, suddenly collapsed while
over $50 men were at work on it, and
two were instantly killed while a dozen
others were badly injured, six of whom
may die. The work was being pushed
so as to get into shape to take advan-
tage OF the ice ready for harvest. The
building was 25OX15O feet and was di-
vided into five rooms The carpenters
were putting on the plates, which were
SO feet from the foundation, when sud-
denly there loud cracking sound and
the west outside wall fell with a crash.
The next wall was struck and went
down and the others were moved down
like nine pins. In a moment the entire
building lay fat upon the ground with
the imprisoned men underneath.
There was no help at hand, as all the
men were at work inside of the build
ing at the time, but gradually the un-
injured crawled out and began to as
sist their imprisoned comrades. 1t is
considered miracle that only two
were killed. The dead are: Albert
Morey, laborer, Of Whitmore; Oscar
O'Connor, laborer, of Whitmore. The
fatally injured: John Mcbride, chief
carpenter, of Owosso, arm and leg
broken and jaw crushed; j. CONNIE tie,

No Special session of Legislature.

A lengthy conference of Gov. Pin
gree's intimate political friends from
all parts of the state was held at the
governors home at Detroit to discuss n
number of matters of importance to
the conferees and the state in general.
The matter of greatest moment, how
ever, was the question of the advisa-
bility of calling n special session of the
state Legislature 10 consider railroad
taxation and other subjects.
All of Gov. Pingree's appointecs
were present, the most strenuous
advocate of the special session be-
ing Railroad Commissioner Wesselius.
But majority was opposed to the
special session, and this opposition was
led by such men as Corporation Coun-
sci Flowers, of Detroit, Insurance Com
missioner Milo ID. Campbell, and Sher-
if Judson, of Washtenaw county.
Their argument was that nothing
would be accomplished toward reduc-
ing railroad fares, and that the gov
ernor's administration would then be
blamed all over the state for saddling
upon the community the expense of
the extra session, without bringing
about any reforms.
The conference lasted until n. m,

&I2O.OOO Lumber Fire.

On the docks OF the Saginaw Salt &
Lumber Co.. at Crow island, three
miles down the river from Saginaw,
5000, 600 feet of lumber were burned,
causing a loss of about S120, 900.
The docks held about 10000, 900 feet
and large quantity of lumber was
piled in the mill yard, which the flames
did not reach. The mill and salt block
were saved with difficulty. The docks
and one drill house were destroyed
About threc-fourths of the loss will be
covered by insurance. A Waterman
discovered the flames at midnight
The origin is unknown, but it is
thought skaters dropped matches or
started fire to warm themselves.
One fire engine company from Sagi-
nav and two from Bav City, besides
the Carrollton company, reached the
scene in about two hours, but in the
meantime pail brigades were organized
and worked heroically towards keep
ing the flames from crossing to the mill
yard The wind was not strong and
blew favorably, sending the brands
over the river, instead of towards the
millions of feet of material and the
mills directly in the rear. Several
firemen had narrow escapes from be-
ing caught in the blazing piles. The
company had Sl2, 600 fire at the same
place last April.
