POLITICS MUST BE DROPPED.
Fire Commissioners So Charge the
Foremcn.


Fire Commissioners So Charge the
FOremcn.
Another lecture was given the foreman
of the fire stations yesterday by the Tire
Commissioners, who intend to Danish poll
ties as nearly as possible. from the de-
partment
That they might be thoroughly under
stood In regard to the politics" rule, the
commissioners summoned all foremen to
appear before them. They were there
from all stations and as they stood lined
up before the board, Chairman Cunning
ham unfolded the law. He said there must
be no political debates by firemen around
the station houses, no attendance of poht-
ical meetings, and mono would be allowed
In any way to espouse the cause of any
political candidate.
1t was explained that the intention was
not to deprive the firemen of their pre-
rogatives but simply to reduce the de-
partment TO a state of harmony, which can
only be done by attention to business.
While absorbed in campaign lights, 1t IS
not considered that firemen, or any 9TH
ers, are in position to render good Ser
vice.
The foremen were instructed to see TO
1t that the rule in this regard is properly
complied with at their stations. Firemen,
who violate it, will be reported to the COM
missloners. They generally favor it, how
ever, as 1t viii relieve them from par
ticipating in campaigns merely to hold
their positions. Formerly they had to 90
i'm for the winner, or be ousted; now they
must stand aloof or be swamped. OF the
two, they, Of course, prefer the latter.
Aside from few purchases of hand ex
tlnguishers and few matters of routine
business, the commissioners did nothing.
1t is about settled that no further changes
will be made at present

CHINA'S FORCED CONCESSIONS
BARON Won BULoW TELLS WHAT
GERMANY HAS OBTAINED.

The Governor of Shan Tun Forever
DebRrred From Holding Office and
Other officials Punished-Three
Thousand TaeIs to BE Paid for Ma
teriaI Losses of the Missionaries.
Three Churches 10 BE Erected at
ChinR's Expense and to Be Under
The Protection of the Emperor.
Berlin, Jan. 24.-Before the budget COM
mittee of the Reehstag to-day, Baron Won
Bulow the minister for foreign affairs,
said the negotiations with China, now con-
cluded. had resulted, firstly in the govern
or of Shan Tun being removed and forever
debarred from holding office, and other
high officials named by Germany had been
punished and proceedings instituted for
the punishment of the actual perpetrators
of the crime.
Secondly, China had promised to pay 5000
taels for the material losses of the mis-
sion
Thirdly, as an atonement for the death
of the missionaries, three churches were
to be erected, each provided with an i'm
perial tablet showing them to be under the
protection of the Chinese Emperor. China
grants 5000 taels for each and the three
sites. Further, $4,000 taeIs is assigned for
a building site for the officials of the Cath
olic prefecture of Tsao Chou.
Fourthly, an imperial edict is issued for
the protection of German missions.
China" Baron Won Bulow explained
''has thus complied with all our demands
Bishop Amer regards the imperial protec-
ton tablets as extremely advantageous
The privilege is rarely accorded and will
considerably highten the prestige of the
Catholic missionaries in the eyes of the
Chinese.
The German government believes it has
done all that is necessary for the preven-
ton of further outrages. The best guar
antees. however, are the permanent resi-
dence, under the treaty, of German men
of-war and a garrison at Kiao Chou, by
which it is hoped the authorities and pop
ulation of China will not soon forget that
any wrong done to a German subject will
not be allowed to pass unpunished.
Baron Won Bulow, in conclusion, said
the negotiations with reference to the con-
struction of railways and the working of
coal mines were proceeding fairly. The
government chose Kiao Chou because 1t
was not 100 near the French and British
spheres of interest, or Russia's sphere of
power Kiao Chou was not an Ell Dorado,
but expert judges predicted for it sound
and steady commercial development.

MONETARY CONVENTION.
large Number of Delegates Already
on the Ground,

indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 2i.-The general
interest in the monetary convention which
meets in this city tomorrow is shown by
the large number Of delegates who have
arrived. Those from the farthest points
We're among the arrivals Texas and New
England being both represented
The convention will reassemble at the
Grand Opera house and will be called to
order by Chairman Hanna of the exec
utve committee. Gov. Mount OF Indiana
will deliver q brief address of welcome and
Gov. Shaw of Iowa will be introduced as
the permanent chairman of the conven-
ton.
There appears to he no doubt that the
report of the committee on resolutions will
cordially indorse the plan Of the commit
tee for currency reform In its entirety.
Prof. jerks of Cornell University who
is delegate to the convention, expressed
the belief to-day that the movement for
free silver would be strengthened If the
Republicans did not earnestly work for
reform in the currency laws.
The gold Democrats continued Prof
jerks. voted for MIR. Mckinley at least
against Mr.. Bryan in order to secure
financial reform They are not getting It,
and cannot be blamed for dissatisfaction.
] heard one prominent gold Democrat say
The other day that il would not make
much difference which way the country
went to the devil whether through bad
money or bad tariff. Men Of that stamp
will be likely to vote with the sllverites
next time.'
Henry w. Peabody of Boston, one OF
the New England delegates of the conven-
ton, In an interview to-day expressed the
conviction that the action OF the Senate
by voting by a large majority to take up
the Teller resolution to pay the United
States honds in silver was likely to have a
favorable effect on the currency reform
cause.
There will be more readiness" said he,
80 deal with the subject, and especially
the monetary commissions measure, In
an aggressive way and the doctrines of
free silver will be much more developed
In the future than in the past in favor
of the gold standard.
1T is my belief that not only should an
earnest effort be made 70 pass these re-
form measures through the House ana
Senate Al this session, but 1t Is likely that
sufficient public opinion will be aroused
to secure its passage"
Judge Robert s. Taylor of Fort Wayne

constitute itself into a court Of justice"
