ALL OVER THE WORLD


SHANGHAI, Dec. 3O.-It is reported
here that the admiral of the French
feet has hoisted the French flag on
Hai-Nan Island. The Chinese offered
no opposition. Hai-Nan Island is off
the south coast of China and separates
the Gulf of Tonquin from the China
Sea. 1t has an estimated area of
IL. 600 square miles and a population
Of 200, 900 Chinese, exclusive ,of wild
tribes in the interior.
LONDON, Dec 31.-The Daily Mail
has received kilograms from Hong
Kong and Tonquin denying the report
of the French occupation of the island
Of Hai-Nan, but it regards 1T as
morally certain that Hai-Nan was
occupied about a fortnight ago, when
Port Arthur was occupied by the Rus
slams, the other coincidence forming
the suspicion that France and Russia
were acting in concert
Hone KONG, Jan. 5.-The British
warship Powerful has arrived here.
The Powerful is first class cruiser OF
over $4,000 tons displacement and 25,-
300 horsepower, with a speed of %

Effort is being made to deprive me Of

Using purposes. The instigators and
what are all their motives for the plot

il western inventors can be induced to
transfer their patronage from our
Office to others some body may be graf
fled and work that should be done in
Iowa to encourage home industry may
be sent to solicitors in Washington.
But don't let them frighten you. We
continue doing business at the old
stand and our sign Iowa Patent
Office" is still conspicuous. The Son-
stitution of the United States and Falso
of Iowa guarantees that mo person
shall be deprived of life, liberty or

Whatever further unlawful and ar
bitrary action may be taken in the

Teller Urges the Interference of the
United States.
New YORK, Jan. Sin an interview
IN which he urges that the United
States take action to Illustrate the
plans for ACKNOWLEDGMENT of China,
Senator Teller says: IF this dis
memberment is permitted our treaties
with China fail and we shall have to
deal anew with the powers who take
possession of Chinese territory. But
that is not the worst of it. If the
ACKNOWLEDGMENT occurs the people OF
what is now China will become pro-
ducers for the whole world. Com
petitive production and trade will be
introduced against which neither we
nor any other people can successfully
contend. The economic conditions OF
the whole world will be changed.
The people of China have greater
power of production than any other
like number of people. All they need
is to be aroused to have their efforts
properly directed. Inspired by the
enterprise and energy of Germany and
Russia, they would become the pro
ducers for the globe, and would pro
duce SO cheaply there would be ne

England Declines Sealing Proposals.

England DecIineS Schhhk IToPobnsos
London dispatch: Lord Salisbury,
the premier, has written to United
States Am bassador Hay in response to
Americas proposals in the Behring
sea controversy, in which he requests
that Great Britain enter into
an agreement with the United States,
Russia and Japan to stop sealing.
Great Britain declines to enter into
such an agreement. Lord Salisbury
says in substance that he has commun-
icated with the Canadian govern
ment, which has the foremost interest
in the sealing question, and that Can
ada is unwilling to become party to
such an arrangement as is proposed by
the United States. Therefore, Eng
land, continues Lord Salisbury, whose
interest is but slight, would not be
justified in acceding to the proposals.
Lord Saliebury's answer emphasizes
the policy of England not to interfere
in Canada's foreign relations.

Albert Wheeler Missing Under Peculiar

TRAER, Jan. ALBERT Wheeler. a
prominent young man of Traer, has
mysteriously disappeared. Three
weeks ago he went to Grundy Center
on business. and told his mother, with
whom he lived, that be would be home
in two or three days. He did not re-
turn, but his mother thought he had
likely gone on to Rolfe, where a
brother lives. She wrote there and to
relatives in several places, but no
trace of him can be found. Two
brothers are investigating. 1t is
known that the young man had con-
siderable money in his pocket when
he left. No object for his voluntary
absence can be surmised, as he was
well to do. He took no clothing, ex-
cept what he wore. His mail has not
been called for or ordered forwarded,
though considera BILE has arrived. His
people are prominent and we'll fixed.
He does not drink or gamble, and has
always been careful to write to his
mother often when away. His absence
is complete mystery. Foul play is
suspected, unless the young mans
mind has become deranged and he has
wandered away. He is 25 years OF
age, medium height, dark complex
toned, black mustache.
