his attention or his staff, he has uncov-

POSITION OF GEN. POPE
RUMOR THAT HE HAS PLACED HIS
RESIGNATION IN GOV. LIND'S
HANDS
TO PREVENT EMBARRASSMENT

tive VIII Accept, If Such Be the
Case - The Mankato Man Has

George F. Clifford.

The runor that Gen. E. M. Pope, pub
lie examiner, had handed his resfgna-
ton to Gov. Lind was revived again YES
terday, and gained some limited circula
ton. Secretary RosIng was asked if the
report was true, and he stated that he
did not know that such was the case.
Rumor has it that Gen. Pope had de-
cfded to resign rather than to cause the
administration any embarrassment but
among those who are close to the ad-
ministration 1t Is not believed that the
governor will throw the public examiner
over just to please a few bowling Re-
publican newspapers who do not like
Gen. Pope's scruitinizing ways. IF Cen
Pope had been guilty of anything that
would not stand investigation, the ad-
ministration, 1T is said, would have no
hesitation as to what to do This, It is
claimed, is not the fact. 1t is under
stood from the statement made by Gen.
TOpe at Mankato that he will go before
the library board at Its next meeting
and make statement, and Col Rosing
the governors secretary Is authority for
the statement that whatever course is
pursued nothing will be done until after
the generals statement before tho library
board.
A prominent Democrat, talking about
the matter yesterday, said
Il have heard the report that Gen.
Pope has handed the governor his restg-
nation, and 1 hope, if Gen. Pope has re-
signed, that the governor will rsturn II
to him. The matter at Mankato is trivial
if It were true. but Gen. Pope denies the
truth of it, and his denial should have
as much weight as the support which
the story is receiving from the Repub-
lican Dispatch and other sources. Some
Republicans would rather get rid Of Gen.
Pope than Gov. Lind himself, as he has
been a thorn in their side ever since he
took office. He has been digging up mat
ters that would not bear light, and has
opened the eyes Of the voters Of the state
to many peculiaities of Republican Of
aceholders. Scarcely Republican office

MONTREAL, Nov. 8.-England does NOT

result of possible combination of two
or more hostile powers against her in
terests In that quarter of the globe. It Is
learned that a strong detachment of ma

Esquimault, B. c., the strongest British
stronghold ana naval base in the Pacific
ocean. The Notifications at Esuuinoa ult
are also undergoing considerable strength
enlng and enlargement, and a large num-
Der Of heavy guns have recently been
shipped across the continent to be mount

The reason for the hurried strengthen

taken in conjunction with significant M

which the Strengthening of Esquimault
and Halifax form a part.
The actual strength Of the force of ma
rines now on their way to Esquimault IS
not known. They are being conveyed by

WASHINGTON, Nov. S.-Offcials here
are at loss to know what was meant
bv the mysterious London dispatch pub
lished in the morning papers today re-
lating to Anglo-American Chinese rela-
tions Of such startling character that the
news could not be published. 1t is stated
that there is nothing under consideration
in this line at present between Great
britain and the United States that can
be said to be of a sensational character.
The government Is not averse to have
# known that it has been steadily en-
gagged for months in negotiations looking
to the maintenance Of whatever trade
rights we now enjoy in Chinese ports.
Officials do not care to go into details
while the negotiations are still in prog
ress. but it is said that the subject will
be made the basis of n special message
to congress by the president.
It is gathered that this government is
not likely to encounter any serious op-
position TO what 1t regards as its per-
fectly reasonable effort to secure from
assurances in confirmation of verbal
statements already made that the way
for American trade in China will be kept
open in the event Of a retention Of the
existing concessions and leaseholds.
Nothing has been heard from France on
this subject as yet. though 1t Is assumed
that the returning ambassador, M. Cam

Terms of 1t. Officially Announced
From Berlin,

From Berlin,
BERLIN, Nov. SIT was officially an
nounced this morning that an agreement
subject to the approval Of the Unitod
states, had been arrived at between Ger
many and Great Britain, by virtue Of
which the Samoan act is repealed and
the Islands of OpoH Savaai and the
small adjacent Islands fall to Germany
as free property, and the Island of Tu-
tuila and the subsidiary islands go to the
United States
Great Britain. 1t is added, renounces
any claim to the Samoan islands, and Ger
many in turn renOunces any claim to the
Tonga islands and to Savage island in
favor of Great Britain, and also cedes
Choiseul and San Isabel, the two easterly
Islands of the Solomon group, with their
insular surroundings to Great Britain.
WASHINGTON, Nov. S.-Whatever plan
Great Britain and Germany might agree
upon it was stipulated should be first sub
mitted to the ratification of the United
States. 1t was necessary as the change
proposed could be made only by formal
treaty, which would require the approval
of the senate. It Is believed that the ar
rangement proposed now will be satisfac-
tory to the state department. The United
States Is not concerned with the amount
of character Of the compensation that
passes between the other nations. Besides
retaining the coaling station Of Pago Pago

the harbor is located, and the three or
four smaller isets in the vicinity. the

able as those now existing. The islets re-
ferred to are not of any particular i'm
portance from a commercial point of view,
but it is deemed essential to control them
politically in order to prevent smuggling.

bon, will bear some Instructions on the
subject.
CHINA IS WATCHFUL
The Chinese government, through Min
lister WI Ting Fang, is keeping g watch
full eye on the recent developments re-
lating to China Within the last few
days he saw Secretary Hay, with view
to learning to what extent the United
States had acted The response Of the
secretary Of state is understood to have
been quite full and frank and to the ef-
feet that at the request Of the president
our ambassado dorS and ministers abroad
had beer asked to secure definite assur
ances that there should be no Interrupt
tion to the access of American trade and
commerce to the Interior Of China
through the treaty ports. Such assur-
ances had been given from time to time,
in somewhat informal manner, as parts
of the manifestoeS bywhich foreign pow
ers assumed controt of ports on the
China coast, but the purpose Of this re-
quest was to have the assurances take
definite, tangible, written form, so as to
leave no room for doubt that the future
commerce of the United States in the
Orient would meet no Unforeseen barriers.
NO AGREEMENT WITH CHINA.
1t is stated positively that the recent
move of the United States was not the
result of any understanding or agree
nent with the Chinese minister, and so
far as is known here, the Chinese au-
thorities were not consulted. Whether it
would be regarded faveraby by China
depends, in the Judgment of Minister
WI, on subsequent developments.
Throughout diplomatic circles keen in
terest is manifested in the American
movement, and in the replies which are
to be likely elected from the American
inquiry abroad. The view prevails that
while there will be no difficulty in Sc
curing general assurances of favorable
character, it is not certain that definite
statement in writing or other tangible
form wifi be given. Th5se best acquaint-
ed with the subject hold that Great Brit
ain, Germany and Russia will coincide
with the American view, and that if any
objection comes it IS likely to arise in
France, as the French policy In NADIA
gascar and Cochin -C1iha is forgive pref
erential rate tc F'renehS goods, and make
determinations against foreign goods
From this lis implied that France will
not give definite assurance that Amer
lean commerce wilfs be on equal terms
in those parts OF China where French
spheres of influence prevail

the congregation gathered the
building was found locked up and

after the fire had burned awhile
the congregation settled back for
the service, when a sensation was
sprung by the teacher, Miss Jones,
who arrived and objected to SER
vices being held in the school
house because it would litter the
floor and necessitate the room
being swept before school. The
matter was at last amicably settled
by hiring janitor and the meet
