OUR CONSUL BLACKBALLED.
A Selrct Montreal Club Refused to
Vamft Him to Mem bershfp.

Montreal, Jan. limited States Con-
sui General John M. Bittinger was last
night blackballed by the ST. James
club. the leading social organization in
the city, which numbers among its
members the present and past gov
ernors general of Canada. many promi-
nent Canadians and the principal citi-
zens Of Montreal. 1t Is said that no
less than 70 blackballs were cast
against the election of the representa-
tive of the United States government
in this section of Canada.
Colonel Knapp. Of New York, and
Hon. w. A. Anderson, of Wisconsin,
Mr.. Bittinger's predecessors. were hon
ored and esteemed members of the
club. Mr.. Bittinger's defeat was un-
doubtedly brought about by an article
published in a Chicago paper a week
ago last Sunday which was telegraphed
to and published in full by the local
newspapers. In the article mentioned
Mr.. Bittinger was made to say that the
French Canadian citizens of Quebec
were forming secret societies and ar
ranging for an outbreak looking to the
independence of Canada.
When Mr.. Bittinger's name was first
mentioned for consul general his po-
litlcal opponents in Missouri flooded
the newspapers here with articles de-
rogatory to his character. These arti-
c!es also contributed to last nights
vote in the club.

Some True Facts on Insurance,

Some eight years ago, I took out two
policies in the New Castle County Nation
al Insurance Company; ono was for 81 ,00C
and the other for $500. The premium
amounted to 50 year and for tho last few
years have been paid back my premium,
until this year it amounted to 81 20.
Having disposed of the property md
thinking could get better rates in the
oil line Insurance Companies, took my
81, 600 policy to n foreign company. paying
81 90 for three yearpolicy.
/ since have received u check from the
Mutual Company of $2l50, which think
beats the foreign companies in the matter
of cheap insurance. ! received protection
on my property forS years, paying the
company $iS for the same; received no less
than eight dollars in premiums ut $2l.50,
ms my share Of the profits OF the company,
thereby making my insurance cost me
but Sl0, which l consider cheaper than In
the foreign companies. These are facts
mud not heresays, and made without the
knowledge OF tho managers or any one
connected with the Homo Company. You
cali draw your own conclusions whether
1t pays to insure In foreign or home

THE RUSSIANS TNVIOUS.
Gar. Wants Terms Similar to Those
Granted to Germany,

Granted to Germany.
London, Jan. 7.-According to a spe-
cial dispatch from Shanghai Russia is
endeavoring to obtain terms similar to
Germany's for the occupation of Port
Arthur and the Lao Tong peninsulas
from a point considerably north Of Ia
Lien Wan. 1t is believed that the at
titude of England and Japan will frus-
trate her designs.
The Times says this morning that it
understands the term of Gerranys
lease of Kiao-Chau to be SO years in
stead of five years.
A dispatch to The Times from Pekin
says: Under the agreement between
Baror Heyking, German ambassador
to China, and Prince Kung, president
Of the tsung-li-yamen, Germany will
pay a nominal annual rental for Kiao-
.Chau. she acquires the right to begin
forthwith the construction Of a dock
and a fortified coaing station. The
belief in an early French occupation
of Hal Nan Island is general"
According to a special dispatch from

Agreed to the Plan of Liquidation,

Philadelphia, Jan. THE plan pro.
poced by the assignees Of the Chestnut

rapy for the liquidation of the affairs
of that institution and of the Chest

day assented to by both common and
select councils on behalf of the city.
There was but one dissenting vote.
When the bank closed its doors there
We're s2S9,C00 of city money in the in

ton the city will hold preferred stock
in The Record Publishing company as
collateral for payment of the amount
deposited in the bank. A number of
creditors of the bank and trust compa-
ny, who had not assented to the plan,
held a meeting yesterday and decided

fHD GERMANS JUBILAEf
Over the Acquisition ofTerritory in
the Chinese Empire.
THE RUSSIANS BECOME ENVIOUs.

Czar's Government Wants Privileges
many-Anglo-JapanA Alliance Openly
Asserted in Shanghai.
Berlin, Jan. 1.-THE German press is
INDUCING in tone of extravagant self
satisfaction over the success of Ger
man diplomacy in China. The fact
that Emperor William personally con-
ferred the Order Of the Red Eagle upon
Baron Won Buelow, the German foreign
minister, for his share in the affair
indicates that the emperor Is delighted
with the outcome Of his policy.
The newspapers, with the exception
of The Vossische Zeitung, are full Of
sneering remarks at England's expense.
The Vossische leitung, however points
out that there is plenty of room for
everybody, and even suggests that the
time has arrived for better UNDER
standing between England and Ger
many"
The rather apoloGetlc tone Of the
North German Gazette in its semi
official article on Wednesday gems to
be a reflection of the feeling lhNSome
quarters that the acquisition of a coal
ing station is hardly the realization Of
the great colonial enterprise which the
blaze Of Prince Henry's departure fore
Swallowed, and the suggestion Of the
possibility that Kiao-Chau might prove
unsuitable leads many to ask whether
Germany, after all, has taken leap
in the dark.
1t is now discovered that II Germany
moves further north she Is bound to
clash with Russian interests; if further
south, then with English interests.
Already it is proposed to establish a
branch of the German-Asiatic bank at
kiao- Chau, and postal regulations will
be issued. The government is ordering
the preparation of maps and charts of
the district, and the principal banks
propose to begin the exploitation Of the
coal beds of the Shan-Tung peninsula
Immediately
Various rumors are current as to
conferences of the powers to settle the
Chinese question, but none can be relied
upon. Herr Richter, in the freissinge,
thinks an unnecessary noise has been
made for what he calls an omeette,
and he says he cannot perceive any
commercial advantage in the acquisi-
ton of Eiao- Chau.
The Deutsche Zeitung, echoing Ger
man feeling, says: ENGLAND has suf-
fered a crushing defeat, but there is
no fear of war. The British lion roars.
but he does not bite. All civilized ma
tions ought to be grateful to Emperor
William for having destroyed the myth
of Great Britain's universal domina-
tion"

Pittsburg, Jan. 7.-President Simon
Burns, of the a ndow Glass Workers
association, and Charles Altman, the
discharged blower of Phillips G. Co.,
may prove a combination that will
block the resumption of operations In

threatens to stop operations at the

back, claiming that the firm broke
its contract by refusing Altman his old
position. Should Burns threat be car
ried out and Phillips & Co. be unable
