Early this morning several robbers made
an unsuccessful attempt TO enter the resi-

When he reached the bottom Of the stain
he found the robbers we're making splendid
headway in saving panel out Of the kitchen
door. He remained silent and awaited theii
entry. One Of the robbers on guard acros,
the street saw Mrs. Lenahan turn on the
light in her bed room. He signaled his pal'
by firing shot from revolver. This eau 3ed
the robbers TO flee from the residence and
disappear in the darkness. Mr Lenshsn ran

ED HERALD Vote for Economy" is the
title of an article recently published in an
evening Democratic paper and in view Of the
fact that the thoughtful and honest citizen
of the county is always desirous of following
such honest and disinterested advice, it is
fitting and proper that few facts be called
TO their attention to enable them to carry
out their intentions and decide for them
selves how this can best be done.
1t Isl well known fact that there is in ex-
istence in this county an organization known
as the "Tsxpayers' Association" which is
nothing more or less than the name indicates
an association of the taxpayers Of the
county. organized for the purpose of inves-
tigating the several offices of the county
ascertaining how the money Of the tax
payers is spent and endeavoring in every
honorable way to lessen the burdens Of tax
alton which have lately grown exceedingly
heavy. That the organization is non-political
is a well known fact, and the investigations
thus far made have not been directed against
or confined to any particular party; but,
without fear or favor OF without questioning g
the politics of the officers, have gone on hon
orably and fearlessly to call attention to the
wilful waste of the public funds wherever
they were found.
Let us call the attention of the public, OF
at least that portion of the public who are
earnestly and honestly desirous of voting for
economy, to the result of an investigation OF
the District Attorneys office, and show how
for the past six years this office has been con
Quoted, and how carefully ~ the public fund:
of the county have been spent by the incum
bent of this important office.
On the 2sth day of December 1898, com
munication from the Taxpayers Association
was addressed to b. W. Cumming, Esq, Dis
Attorney-elect, calling his attention to the
loose methods and careless business conduc
of the District Attorneys office, and in gen
eral way specifying in what manner th'
office had been conducted giving him com
piled statement of the different disposition
made of the cases returned to and entered il
the Court of Quarter Sessions. The oommun
ication ended by making six distinct charge
as follows:

THE BLACK DEATH
IN NEW YORK

New York, November 19.-The steamer j..
w Taylor, which arrived here yesterday
from Santos, Brazil, with the captain and
cook ill with bubonic plague, has been dis
infected as far as possible without dis
charge of cargo.
The cabins, forecastles, decks and en-
gineer's departments have been cleansed
and thoroughly disinfected. The crew have
been bathed and their clothes and effects
have been subjected to steam.
The patients are at Swinburne Island, and
there is no change in their condition. Dep
uty Health Officer Sanborn says the crew
will be kept on board the steamer until to-
morrow, when the agents will supply a
new crew. The crew will be removed to
Hoffman Island and detained for observa-
ton for ten days. There has been no fur
Their developments among them.
After the removal of the crew the cargo,
coffee In sacks, will be discharged into
lighters. The sacks will be emptied into
other receptacles and then subjected to
steam disinfection on board the James w.
Wadsworth. After the discharge of cargo
the holds of the steamer will be disinfected.
DR.. Fitzpatrick, the meteorological expert
of the quarantine, is making cultures of
matter taken from the patients. 1t has

present time 1t has been definitely under
stood that the United States did not seek
any sphere of influence, but merely UNI
trammeled entrance to all Chinese ports.
As to the other powers the view pre-
vailed that they would be quite likely to
favor such a comprehensive treaty as the
one outlined in the London advices as It
carried forward the arrangement between
Great Britain and Russia in which the for
mer secured a sphere of influence in the
Yang Use valley and Russia directed her
activities to northeast China.
Since returning from abroad the German
ambassador, DR.. Won Holleben, has stated
that the German policy in Kioa Chau was
distinctly that of 1.-THE open door," and
Count Cassini the Russian ambassador has
stated the same policy as to the Russian
port of Talien Wan. The British position,
favorable to open ports, is well known and
since Lord Pauncefote's return, no reason
has been taken to reiterate it. Beyond this,
however, there has been nothing from any
of the foreign representatives concerning
the future of China, and without excep-
ton, the representatives of the powers hav-
ing interests in China state positively that
no instructions have been received as to
treating with reference to China.
This also applies to the Japaneses minis
ter and the French charge d affaires, who,
while they have made inquiries of the state
department as to the basis for current re-
ports they have no instructions respecting

MUCH INTEREST In
CHINESE TREATY
Wu-Ting-Fang Thinks He Should
be Consulted.
SAYS PLAN is VISIONARY
Celestial Empires Minister is of Idea
That the Suggestions and Treaties
~ ofOther Powers Concerning His
Country Are Preposterous

Washington, November 26.-In official and
diplomatic quarters much interest was
manifested today in the plan put forth in
London cables of a treaty among the great
powers defining spheres of influence in
China.
That anything in the shape of formal
treaty is to be adopted between the powers
interested in the future of China as the
outcome of the negotiations now in pro-
gress, is not believed here, though an I'M
Outstanding of less formal nature is
possible.
These negotiations followed the frank
request of Secretary Hay on some of the
governments which had already given him
verbal and informal assurance of the con-
tinuation of all our treaty rights IN Chinese
territory to have these agreements reduced
to form. 1t was not regarded as necessary
to go beyond that point and although it
frequently occurs as the result of initiating
negotiations that the scope of them is
broadened far beyond anything originally
in contemplation, it is believed that such
will not be the case now and that there will
be no necessity for a general and formal
treaty
1t would be extremely difficult to frame
any such convention so to secure the
approval of the United States senate with
out a protraeted struggle that. might dis
close disagreeable weaknesses in the gov
ernment's policies and besides, the effort
would be sure to arouse opposition from the
considerable element In the United States
which is unalterably opposed to any sort
of foreign entanglements OF course, this
statement applies only to the United States
and there could be no objection on our part
to the other powers joining in a treaty COW
Cring foreign rights in China, provided there
was nothing in the agreement obnoxious to
cur just and proper claims.
On the whole, having in view the highly
The age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1897-1902, 1899-11-27

satisfactory utterances in the French
chambers yesterday of NJ. Delcasse, the
French minister of foreign affairs. respect
ing the maintenance of the .'open door" in
China, there is felt in official quarters to be
reason for expecting successful outcome
of the negotiations on this subject opened
by the United States. At some of these for
eign establishments the proposition was
considered "feeler'' resulting from the re-
cent inquiries made by the American gov
eminent as to the attitude of the great
powers. Other influential members of the
diplomatic corps pointed out that the plan
was the logical eonsummatio ton of the scheme
initiated between Russia and Great Britain
where the sphere of influence would be de-
fined.
The Chinese View
The Chinese legation views the PROPOSE
ton as purely conjectural and the Chinese
minister, Mr.. WuTing-Fang, when his at
tention was directed to the matter regard
ed it as preposterous.
This is about the most refreshing sug-
gestion we have had of late," remarked
Mr.. WI. What? Can 1t be seriously pro-
posed that a document shall be formally
uTdWn up concerning interests III emma,
and China shall not be a party to it?
ut cannot have escaped attention that
China Is a sovereign nation, and when 1t
comes to writing treaties concerning her in
terests and territory this sovereign nation
Is quite likely to have considerable to say
on the subject. I hardly think any of the
great and self-respecting powers would
give countenance to plan such as is out
lined. 1t is as though party of your
neighbors met and agreed how they would
occupy your house. One would take the
front door, another would select the side
door, others would appropriate certain
rooms. And all this without consulting
you, the owner of the house. Such a course
by individuals would seem strange, indeed,
and 1t would amount to the same thing
among nations. OF course, all things are
possible, and 1t is difficult to say how far
a plan, once entered upon, may proceed
While the individual may be quite sure in
his residence, it is, of course, always within
the bounds of possibility that band of
robbers may arrange to enter the house
and carry away the belongings. For that
reason it is the part of wisdom for the in
dividual to be on the outlook against such
moves But IL Is not supposed that a ma
ton stands in any such danger, as the
great nations would not countenance such
a course. So that the suggestions Of q
treaty of this character appears to me to
be entirely visionary"
Merely Wants Entrance
