Baron Won Buelow then gave the details
of the Kaiochau convention, already
known, and explained that German Chi
nese commission would delimit the Kiao-
chau territory to be an area of from thirty
to fifty square kilometres and thus consid-
erably larger than the British possessions
al HOng-kOng "A map, he said had been
submitted to the budget committee. but the
northern boundary there indicated had been
pushed forward slightly for military rea-
sons, which became known subsequently.
Nothing had yet been decided as TO the
amount to be paid to China; bat they need
not get gray hairs over that, for the amount
could not be large, because it was not re-
garded as payment for leased land, but
merely as legal formality acknowledging
the continuance of theoretical possession
by the Emperor of China.
Regarding the railway, Baron Won Buelow
said the following had been agreed on:
China had promised to intrust to a German
chinese company, yet to be formed. the
construction Of a railway from kiaochau
proceeding first nOrthWard, then westward
till it connected eventually with the great
projected Chinese railway system. The line
would be laid. said Won Buelow, so as to
touch the coal fields Of Weihsein and Pos
han to the north of kiaochau. The right
to work the coal deposits had been granted
to German contractors, and China had
granted the railway company conditions as
favorable as those granted to any other
European-Chnese railway company. Nego-
tiations detailing and extending these con-
cessions in a certain direction were still
proceeding favorably
Baron Won EueloW repeated that Germany
desired the continued existence of the Chi
nese empire and saw no reason why il
should not last another three thousand
years. Nor had Germany any intention of
encroaching in any way on the interests of
Japan. whose rapid development inspires
Us with respect" In conclusion he said
English, French and Russian interests are
equally far removed in Kiaochau. which, by
reliable authorities. is regarded as emnently
suitable to German needs for the construc-
ton of railways and harbor works. We rely

LIKE GULDENSUPPE CASE
MUTILATED BODY FOUND IN EAST
RIVER, NEW YORK.
Victim Was Man, ana Half the Head
and Both Arms and Legs We're
Missfng-POIice Puzzled.

NEW YORK, Feb. S.-The mutilated body
of a man. without a stitch of clothing on
it, was found in East river to-day. Half Of
the head was missing. the right leg was cut
off at the hip, the left leg was cut
off at the knee and both arms were gone.
having been cut off close TO the shoulder.
The police believe thar another murder
mystery OF a similar character to the re-
cent Guldensuppe case has been unearthed
by this discovery. The man had apparently
been strangled TO death. stabbed with some
sharp instrument, thought to be n stiletto,
and then cut to pieces. Around the neck
were marks as though a rope had forced its
way into the flesh. On the portion of the
left leg remaining on the body We're three
sharp cuts, which might have been made
with stiletto. There were bruises on the
back which might have been caused by a
struggle, and a small wound which is
thought 10 be bullet hole. Not until an
autopsy is held can these suggestions lie
verified. The body had been in the water
for a week or more. 1t is that OF a man
of about five feet eight inches tall, broad
shoulders and muscular body The portion
of his scalp which still remained was COW
cred with sandy hair. The corpse appeared
to be that of a laboring man. The entire
ever dissection had taken place the cuts
were regular, and razorlike. Inspector
Cross said he was positive the man had
been murdered and that the mutiliation was
to conceal the identity of the victnn.
DR.. E. j. Donlen, coroners physician, said
that he ha9 thus far been able to make only
superficial examination of the body and
that he was able 10 draw only conclusions
that might be upset by The autopsy which
he will perform to-mcrrow. He said that he
had come to the conclusion that the man
was, in life, at least six feet in height and
that he weighed close TO 220 pounds. He be-
lieved the body to have been that Of man
not less than forty-fve years. He said lie
had been dead much less than twenty-four
hours when found. My theory is DR.. Dom
len said, that the man died from injuries
to his head He W Is either shot with pis-
tOl or was struck on the head" DR.. Donlen
said that he did not think the cutting up OF
the body had been done by one skilled with
the knife. Just above the point of amputa-
ton of the left leg DR.. Donlen discovered
a wound which,, he thought might have
been made with Il bullet. The only mark
found that could possibly lead to identifca-
ton of the corpse was white wart over
the right hip bone

TO PROTECT GAME AND FISH.
Resolutions Adopted by the Intcrsta tie
Conference of Wardens.

CHICAGO, Feb. S.--If the resolutions
passed by the interstate game and fish con-
ference at to-day'S session are carried into
effect, persons who seek to take advantage
of the hunting seasons in the Northwestern
States will probably have some difficulty in
marketing the game they kill A resolu-
ton was adopted recommending that hunt
ers of deer and large game be compelled to
pay q license for the season. The resolution
advised that the resident hunters be as
sessed 81 for a seasons hunting and that
nonresident sportsmen be charged $25 for
seasons sport. This law is now in effect
in Michigan and Wisconsin, and the repre-
sentativeS from those States say it has
proven very satisfactory and that their
game has been protected by it. A resolu-
ton was also passed looking to the prohi-
Dltlon or the sale of game killed in the
Northwestern States.
The conference finished it's labors at the
Great Northern Hotel this evening" and
after resolving itself into q permanent or
ganfzation, to be known as the Interstate
Game and Fish Protective Association the
Of Wisconsin, was retained as president of
the permanent body, and S, +. Fuller, an
executive agent of the Minnesota State
Game and Fish Association, was elected TO
remain in the office of Secre tary. The rec
ommendation made by the conference was
that all shooting OF water fowl should be
prohibited between Jan. l and Sept. l of
each year. Other recommendations were
that law be passed by all the Northwest
ern States declaring all game the property
of the State where game is found before
and after the killing, and that one shall
acquire any property right in game, but it
shall always be and remain in the State,
subject to such laws as the different States
shall pass; that the convention is of the
opinion that the cold storage of wild game
is one of the most conducive methods of as
sisting in the utter determination of game,
and should be prohibited by the most
stringent laws that the deer season should
open on the LIST day of November each year
and continue for twenty days, inclusive,
with five days to dispose of game.

Germans Now Eating our Fruit.

WASHINGTON, Feb. SIT is intimated
the German authorities are beginning to be-
lieve that they have acted with undue
precipitation in the enforcement of the de-
cree excluding American fruits, and it is
said that disposition is shown to at
tribute the severity of the action to the
excessive zeal of subordinate officers sta
toned at the principal ports and on the
frontier. To-day Ambassador White cabled
the State Department that the present i'm
portation of live plants was absolutely pro-
hibited, but that fresh fruit not infected was
being admitted freely Inasmuch the
value of the live plants and shrubs export
ed from the United States to Germany last
year was only a little more than $S00e, the
last phase of the exclusion decree is not
regarded as Of very large importance.
