HENRY TO BE KING
Emperor William Believed to
Have Laid Plans
For Establishing German
Kingdom In China.
TO MAKEHIS BROTHER

Continent.
To Rule Over $4,000 Square
Miles of Territory.
TO MAKE HIS BROTHER

Victoria, B. c., April 15.-According to
the Pekin and Tien Tsin Times, copies
of which were received here by the
steamer Glenogle, it is generally believ-
ed among the foreign element at Pekin,
that the seizures of Kiao Chou in Mo-
vember, 1897, by Germany was a first
step toward the realization of scheme
of Kaiser Wilhelm to place a German
king on Chinese soil.
Prince Henry, the emperor's brother,
who is in the Orient in charge of the
German Asiatic squadron, it is alleged
will be king and the Chinese province
of Shan Tung his kingdom. The occu-
patton of the interior of the province,
it is pointed out. is a direct move
toward the establishment of German
sovereignty over the whole of the IS, 900
square miles of Shan Tung, instead of
the 400 square miles around Kiao Chou
main by Admiral Diederichs after the
native mob had killed missionaries
Neise, Henne and Zeigler.
Baron Won Heiking, the German min
lister, has gone to Kiao Chou to consult
with Prince Henry. Chinese military
officials in Shan Tung have asked per-
mission from the Pekin government to
proceed against the German force of &C.
cupation.
According to the Japanese papers,
there is grave apprehension in British
German diplomatic circles regarding the
situation in China, which is heightened
by the fact that Russia is again MAX
ing oVertures for control of affairs in
Corea. In consequence of recent deVel-
opments the leave granted Sir Claude
Macdonald, British ambassador at Pc
kin has been Withdrawn and he Will re-
main at the Chinese capital.

THREE FIGHTS LAST NIGHT
One Joint the Scene of Three Drunken
Brawls.

Three fights took place last night in
As minutes in the joint in the rear of
the Capital billiard hall at 40 Kansas
avenue.
The first fight was between a man
known as Hungry Sans whose home
is in North Topeka and a man known
as Fur" They had a rough and tum-
BILE fight and Sans face was badly dis
figured when the affair was over
After another rather common place
drunken brawl a. man, whom the police
call c. D. Baker of Clay Center, an
nounced that he could whip any man in
the room. He is said to be a prize
fighter who is here in the hopes of get
ting up a fight with some other pug
Two or three men in the room resented
this assertion and in a moment there
was a free fight. Baker knocked two
men down in quick succession with his
fist and the two men in falling knocked
down two more. BY the time the police
arrived the crowd had left by the back
door and Baker was of the opinion that
his assertion was correct.
From IL o'clock till early in the morn
ing crowds of drunken men were walk
ing up and down Kansas avenue from
Third to Fifth streets. There was SO
much noise and drunkenness that
Sergeant owen ordered all resorts gem
orally open at night to be closed.

search of Mrs. George in the police
court after her arrest, was called to
identify a package on which she had
enclosed the cuticle scraped from the
stained portion of Mrs. Georges hand.
She said Mrs. George had not voluntar-
lily submitted to the scraping process
but that she had not resisted it. She
had no counsel then and was in the
presence of officers.
Prof. Albert d. Smith of the Case
school of applied science, qualified as an
expert in chemistry, but after saying
he had analysed the cuticle was pre-
vented from giving the result by rul-
ing of the court.
Charles c. Lloyd, a reporter for the
Repository, testified to two or three
conversations he had with Mrs. George
in which she threatened the life of Sax
ton. He also heard part of her griev-
ance against SaxtOn.
Perry Van Horn, another reporter
told of many conversations with the ac-
cused when she sent for him to write
up her troubles with Saxton. The con-
VersatiOns include a number of threats
and describe most of Mrs. Georges re-
lations to Saxton.
Mrs. Mary Cradle, with whom Mrs.
George rOOmed in the latter part of 1896
testified to two or three threats and the
defense sought to prove by her own an
swers that she is addicted to the opium
habit.
Miss Matte Grimes testified to pass
ing Mrs. George about an hour after the
shooting and finding her face flushed
and her manner agitated.
SHE SAW THE MURDER
Mrs. Christine Eckroat today pre-
seHted startling testimony. She said
she went to her window on the night of
the murder after hearing two shots, and
saw a person bending forward who fired
two shots toward the ground and then
ran away through a vacant lot. She
identified the person as Mrs. George.
Witness said she had previously often
noticed a woman walking in front OF
the Althouse residence whom she later
learned was Mrs. George. Mrs. Ecxroat
is the first witness claiming to recog-
nize the person who did the shooting.
In cross-eXamination the defense
sought to show that the witness did not
know Mrs. George well enough to iden-
tify her and that it was too dark for
| any one to recognize Il person across the
street.
Mrs. Eckroate, on cross examination.
said she had been using morphine for
nine or ten years, but for the last six
months only took it every other day.
She said she had always done her
homework and managed her household.
Mrs Laura Huwig of Cleveland, a
daughter of Mrs. Eckroate, testified as
an eye witness to the firing of two
shots. She described the person who
fired them and said, from what she had
seen of Mrs. George since, the defendant
resembled the one who fired the shots
in figure, carriage and general appear
ance.

PHILLIES WIN.
Quakerites Get Onto Killen's Curves
in Three Innings.

Philadelphia, April 15.-The baseball
season opened here with over 10000
people in attendance and proved to be
an suspicious occasion for the home
team. Philadelphia won, but it was
not an easy victory Washington
played a fine fielding game and had
the home team not solved Killen's de-
livery in the fifth, sixth and seventh
innings, a different story might be told.
Rey Thomas, who formerly played on
the University of Pennsylvania team,
answered all the requirements al first
base and won the spectators admira-
ton. The batting features were
Cooley's triple and Delehanty's two
doubles.
