second floor, when the new husband came

CHINA GIVES IN TO FRANCE
EXTENSION OF THE FRENCH SET
 ELEMENT IN SHANGHAI.
Protests of Sir Claude Macdonald Not Heeded-The Serious Opposition to British Negotiations in the Chinese Foreign Office Concession to AngIo- American Syndicate.

London, Dec. 31.-The Shanghai corre- spondent of the Times says: Tt is offi- cially asserted here that. in spite of the protests of Sir Claude Macdonald, (the British minister at PekinD, China has acceded to the demands for an extension of the exclusive French settlement in Shanghai This result is due to press ure exercised at Pekin and is likely to hamper the negotiations for the eXten- sion of the Cosmopolitan settlement in regard to which the viceroy of Nankin is disposed to meet the views of the British, American and German consuls. The viceroy is greatly chagrined at the failure of Great Britain to support his determined policy in the valley of the Yang Tse Kang at an important crisis. Satisfactory conclusions are not likely to result from British negotiations any where in China so long as the person. nel of the Tsung Lii Yamen remains. as now, actively hostile to British inter- est,."
 The Shanghai correspondent of the Daily Mail says: The terms of the final contract respecting the concession to the Anglo-American syndicate of min- ing and railway privileges in the prov ince of Zse-Chuen have been agreed up- on and are now being signed. zse- Chuen is undoubtedly the richest as we'll as the largest province in China Great Britain and the United States get the greater portion, the Chinese and other nationalities getting the balance.

CURzoN,s RECEPTION IN INDIA.
The Stars and Stripes Prominent in the
 Flag Display

London, Dec. 31.-The Bombay corre- spondent of the Times says: The stars and stripes were prominent in the flag display on the arrival of Lord and Lady Curzon. The natives showed their eag- erness to obtain a look at their new ruler. Lord Curzons replies to the va rious addresses presented, while prom ising to give earnest consideration to what was recommended and declaring a willingness to profit by the advice of members of the chambers of commerce and other bodies, firmly declined, at the present stage, to make any pronounce ment on the currency or other problems facing India. A feature of the recep- tion was the cordiality of all the castes. The Bombay correspondent of the Daily Mail says: Lord Curzon's speech made favorable impression. His prom ise to hold the scales even between the native and ruling communities was generally commented on. The viceroy was dressed in white hat and gray frock coat with the decoration of the star of India. Lady Curzon was charm ing in a dress of pale green, cut rather low, a necklace of pearls and white picture hat. On ertsrlng the native city there were no troops, the viceroy pre- ferring to meet the natives without a military display. This tactful arrange ment was greatly appreciated. This part of Bombay fairly swarmed with the most diverse nationalities and cos- tunes. Lord and Lady Curzon took the children with thnrn in the pr0rpSSiOn. The natives were struck by Lord Cur zon's youthful appearance. In travel ing to Calcutta strict orders had been issued that no train is to pass the vice regal special between stations. The vice regal party will not travel by night, The train will be shunted to siding, where the party will sleep until day. l break

hUsTRo-HUNGARIAN AFFAIRS.
The Provisional Ausgleich Between
 Dual Monarchy to be Continued.


 Budapest, Dec. 30.-The Official Ga- zette will publish to-morrow-the day when the provisional Ausgleich between Austria and Hungary expires-an im- perial decree maintaining the present proportion between the respective shares of expenditure devolving upon the two members of the dual monarchy. Indescribable confusion marked the closing scenes in the lower chamber of the Hungarian diet to-day. Baron Banffy, the premier, attempted to speak; but the tumult was so deafening that he could not be heard and it was necessary to suspend the sitting. When business was resumed the members of the opposition gathered in the center of the floor and kept up an incessant up- rear. After repeated vain efforts the premier finally succeeded in speaking; and he concluded his statement by de- claring that all responsibility for the situation rested upon these who had persistently obstructed public business.
