A DEAL WITH CHINA.
tkIAo CHOU REPORTED CEDED FOR
FIFTY YEARS.

one RepOrt Describes the Arrange
mont As a Lease-Right of Other
Powers to Question the Legality
of Germany's Proceeding Denied
Inv the ReichsanzeiSer London
Editors Greatly Worked Up by the
Txoiser's Success and Longing for
an understanding With the United
states.
Berlin, Jan. 6-The Reichsanzeiger this
evening announces that, according to
telegram from Pekin, an understanding
has been reached between Germany and
china regarding the cessation of Kiao
Chou bay to the former. The arrange
ment, it is added, is substantially as fol-
lows: 1T is intended by the cession to
render possible for Germany the fulflment
of her just wish for the possession, in the
same way as other powers, of a base for
trade and navigation in Chinese waters.
The cession of Kiao Chou to Germany
takes the form of a concession for an
indefinite time. Germany is privileged TO
erect on the ceded territory all necessary
buildings and establishments and to take
the measures required for their protec-
ton"
The Reichsanzeiger appears too late for
evening papers comments here, but ac-
cording to interviews with a German Off
cial the fact that Klao Chou has been
taken on lease by Germany should refute
the view that her occupation commences
partition of China, or that any other
powers have any right to question the
legality of Germany's proceeding.
The official in question particularly de-
MES that the clause giving Germany the
right to choose another port was a sort of
back door to enable her to withdraw with
out loss of prestige should Russia claim
the territory The matter, he claimed,
had been arranged without imperilling her
relations with Russia and that the clause
bore no other meaning than the one on it's
face.
London, Jan. 6.-The Times says e1ito-
rally this morning: 'It is not too much
to assume that the Reichsanzeiger dis
patch failed to tell the whole story, for
it quite omits to say what China gets in
return. To the world at large, however,
the material fact is that Germany, by
physical force, has obtained a naval sta
ton. This is the fact that must guide
other powers in determining their own
policy. The talk of a lease is the mere
saving of appearances"
The morning papers editorials contain
generally the same statements as that of
the Times. They point out the fact that
China gets nothing. Nothing, however, is
said about railways or mines.

BREEDING TO CONTROL SEX.
Vienna Discovery Probably "A Revi-
val of an Old Theory.

vienna DthcOvery PrODably ReVi-
val of an Old Theory.
New York, Jan. 5.--The medical fratern-
ity i'm this city is much interested in the
report from Vienna that DIR. Schenck has
discovered the secret of exercising an in
fuence over females so as to fix the sex
of their offspring.
DIR. Georgs f. Shrady, editor of the med
ical Record to-day said: Il think DR..
Schenck's discovery is probably a revival
of the old theory which holds that the sex
OF child is determined wholly or partly
by the manner in which It's parents are
nourished. The study OF animals has
shown that the female when confined to
a low diet IL 1t conceives at oil, will bring
forth male. Centrarily, when the diet Is
of high nutrition, the issue is likely to be
a female
THE breeders of all sorts OF animals have
gone to great length in attempts to indu-
bitably prove the theory and to certain
extent the results bear 1t out. OF course
there are exceptions
