China Rejects Demand for a 'Sphere
of Influence"
WANTED THREE ISLANDS
AND TWo-THIRDS OF A RICH
PROVINCE.
italian Government Confident That
the Cessations VIII Be Granted
After Further Negotiations-Ac-
ton of the Italians Caused Great
Excitement at Pekin.

Pekin March 1.-The tsung Ii yamen
Chinese foreign office has returned to
the Italian charge d'affaires, Marquis Sal
vago Raggo, his dispatch containing the
demand of the Italian government for a
lease on San Nun bay, on the same con-
ditions as those under which Germany
holds kiao Chou bay, accompanying it
with a letter declaring that the Chinese
government is unable TO grant the re-
quest
The demand of the Italian government
for ninety-nine year lease of San Nun
bay, province of Che-kang, as a coaling
station and naval base, included also a de-
mand for the cession of three islands off
the coast of Checking, with the right to
construct a railroad from San Nun bay
road and mining privi4 eyes within a sphere
of influence, covering me southern two
thirds of Che-kang province.
According to a dispatch to the ASSociat-
ed Press from Pellin last Friday, the ac-
ton of the Italian government had caus-
ed great excitement there, not only among
the Chinese, but among the foreign diplo-
mats. the Chinese being convinced that
Great Britain was chiefly responsible for
the demand, and that it had been made to
emphasize Great Britain's displeasure at
the turn which the northern railroad
question had taken.
A representative of a great power. ow-
ing TO the same advices, is reported to
have said that the moment had arrived
for international control of China, and 1t
was also asserted that if the policy of
spheres of influence was to be inaugu-
rated, the United States would doubtless
have a say in the matter, with the proba-
BILE preference for the province of Chilli.
Rome March 5.-Little attention is paid
here to the refusal of the Chinese gov
eminent to grant the requested lease of
San Nun bay, to be used naval base
and coaling station. No doubt is enter
tanned that the concession will be made
after further negotiations.
Rear Admiral Grenet embarked today on
the Italian cruiser Stromboli at Naples,
TO take command of the Italian squadron
in Chinese waters.
London, March 5.-The Rome cores
pendent of the Daily Mail says: The
Italian warships have landed marines
at San Nun bay, thus virtually taking
possession. Italy will pay nearly
6 $4,000 for the concession. The tsung
li-yamen wishes to reduce the lease to
fifty wears

ing His Female Companion.

New York, March 5.-Miss Magdalene
Dorm, 20 years old, died last night in a
room occupied by James j. Conley, at
I'll West Eighty-second street, under
circumstances so suspicious that Con-
ley was taken into custody, pending an
investigation by the coroner.
Coniey called at the home of DR.. Brin
ker and urged him to accompany him
at once to his room to attend a young
woman who he said had fallen seriously
ILL., When they arrived at the place
they found Miss Dorm lying on the bed
dead.
Gas was flowing from two gas jets.
Conley seemed greatly aSitated, and
explained that the young woman had
been visiting him and was taken sud
denly i'll. He left her to go for the doc
tor. He says she must have turned on
the gas during his absence and in this
way became asphyxiated.
The police did not take kindly to this
theory and placed Conley under arrest.
Conley was reticent about his relations
with Miss Dorm.

the farmer and the merchant because
it knew that it would be returned in
as good money as when it left the

Gus. The strong man who can do a
double amount of labor, the skilled
man who can do his work better, the
brainy business man who can manage
large affairs will always attain greater
success than their weaker brethren.
All that governments can do is to at
ford suitable and favorable conditions

Congress has adjourned and the
country is relieved of the high pressure
it has been under. We believe the peo-
Pile are satisfied with its work as a
whole, and that they are glad to well
come the prosperity which is not COM

cratic experiment was tried once, it
failed, the republican party has been
tried again and it has proven success
full. These facts speak volumes, and
we do not believe that any amount OF
free silver sophistry or fabulous demo.
cratic mirages can convince the people
to abandon the party of prosperity.

The REVIEW proposes to take COM
plete census of Denison in single day.
Monday, March Goth, will be census
day, and our enumerators will ON that
day call at every home in the city and
get the necessary information. From
this census city directory will be COM
piled which will be of great use and
convenience not only to our own peo-
pie but to every stranger who comes
within our gates.
The objects of the census and direct
DRY are these: First, to take COM
plete enumeration of our population.
This will be matter of great interest
to all. Next year comes the govern
ment census, Denison expects to ex.
pand greatly this year and the census
now will form splendid basis for com
parison.
Secondly. The directory will be a
great help to all strangers coming into
our city, by enabling them to find
whcmsoever they wish.
lnlTu. Inc directory Will contain
complete information as to our
churches, schools, lodges, etc.
| Fourth. 1t will contain classified
business directory including profess
sional men, merchants, agents, and
trades of all kinds. This alone will be
of great value.
| Fifth. 1t will give the street ant
house number of every residence anc
business place. AT present it is almost
impossible to direct a stranger to many
places but with every house number
given it would be an easy task. Pro
vision for street numbering was made
by the city council in October 1897
Main street and Broadway are the has,
lines and every lot is number.
These are among the advantages tt
be gained by the directory. The cen
sus will be in charge of j. ID. Loeb
miller and E. III. Bond, assisted b,
Howard Wilson, will have charge o
the advertising department.
In order to facilitate the work of tn,

The Street Orator.

We have a man in our town who is so
wondrously wise that the man who had
the famous experience with the bram-
BILE bush does not hold candle to him.
He can tell you just what every public
man has ever done or said on any
question and what is more can tell to
an absolute certainty just what they
Will do in the future. He reminds us
of Prof. Ordwav. who so recently visit
ed us. Prof. Ordway knew the loca-
ton OF the Garden of Eden, be knew
who wrote the bible, how it was writ
ten and how much truth there was in
it. He was cock sure of his facts. and
so is the apostle of street corner argu-
ment of whom we speak. 1t is gem
uine delight to hear him reel off ward
after yard of the opinions of any states
man from Washington to Dolliver.
We say it is a genuine pleasure, but
somehow one is reminded of the Bur-
lington adder. This mental propidy
could perform the most intricate math-
ematical problems, with the speed of
lightning The good people of Burling-
ton were amazed at his wonderful
power, until one day some luckless
wight took down the figures went
through the problem and found that
the prodigy's answers were wrong.
| Furthermore this street orator is one
OF the most unprecedented and unbiased
of men. He rises like COLOSSUS among
bis fellows. The majority of men are
apt to be- influenced by selfish motives;
not so with this man. No free house
rent and spending money, no paltry
street commissionership could bias his
great and impartial mind. 1t is prob.
ably in keeping with his broad.minded
view of things that he calls the presi.
dent of the United States base hire.
ling. that he designates John Sherman
as fool and Dolliver rascal, while
the only truly great and good man is
one w. j. Bryan of Nebraska. Really
among the many educational advan.
tages of Denison must be accounted
the presence of this great apostle, not
only for what he says but for his awful
example.

COnfesses

Deloit is getting to be big town
now. With prospects for two railroads.
two saloons and divorce case the peo-
pie OF that berg are beginning to put
on airs. The sensation which promises
the divorce suit and perhaps a trip to
Anamosa, was brought about by the
elopement of Mrs. c. E. Franks and
Frank Jones. Mrs. Franks left her
husband and two children aged j and 8
years, and started for Denison on Sat-
urday, February 25fh. Mr.. Franks
knew she was going away but supposed
she was going to Missouri. Jones
drove her to Denison and from here
they drove overland to Sioux City and
lived there as man and wife. 1t seems
that the police of Sioux City were al
ready acquainted with Jones and the
couple was arrested on suspicion and
Sheriff Bell notified. When word
reached Franks he came to Denison
and filed an information against them
charging adultery.
Both Mrs. Franks and Jones are now
languishing in the county Jail. T. is
reported that Mrs. Franks has made a
full confession of her guilt and that
several citizens of Deloit are impli-
Gated. She is a woman of between 30
and 30 years of age, and has lived in
Deloit about two months. Her hus.
band states that their married life has
been anything but dream of ioy and
happiness. Jones is given a scant
reputation by Deloit people. He is re-
ported to be a gay Lothario. He was
brought up for preliminary examina-
ton but the hearing was continued and
he is now in Jail in default of $500 hail
Another feature of the case is promised
in the fact that another Deloit woman
is interested in jones' heart and hand.

was held at the M. E. church last Sat-
urday morning and the final will be
held at the opera house, March 18th.
one week from Friday. The merits of
the essays were determined simply up-
on the thought and composition. The
manuscripts were sent to different
prominent educators of the state and
marked. Mary Walker, Fannie HAYES
and Florence Kirkup received places
for the finale. The disclaimers who re-
ceived places were Leon Servoss, Chas.
Gable and Carrie Chaplin. The orators
are Mearle Smith, Frank Young and
Horace Gregory. The judges on deliv-
cry for the last two events were Miss
Quinby, Mr. Bateson and rrof. Masters.
On thought and composition are Prof.
Miller of Dunlap, DIR. c. A. Wright of
st. Louis and Supt. Parker of Spencer.
The judges on the essays were Prof.
Spencer of Algona. County superinten-
dent Meredith of Jasper county and
Alice Sudlow of Harlan. There were
twenty pupils in all represented in the
preliminary, and considering the num-
Der of pupils of the school, this is a
very commendable showing. An adj
mission will be charged to the final
contest, and it is hoped that all Deni-
son will be in attendance. The Denison

Congress Adjourned

The congress which adjourned on
March a, was one of the most remark
able ever held. So urgent and impor-
tant were the matters with which it
had to deal, that little room was left
for theoretical partisan discussion.
Thus we see that there was very little
tariff or currency discussion and more
attention paid to the gre at emergencies
which presented themselves. The con-
gress just adjourned must be consider
ed as q whole, and not merely by the
short session which began in Decem-
Der last. The first great question
which confronted the senate was the
annexation of Hawaii. The treaty
was ratified and this group of islands
became part of the United States. 1t
was during this time that the attention
Of congress and the people was drawn
to the Cuban question most forcibly
and during the first months Of the ses-
sion discussion of this question was the
most prominent feature. Many sena-
tors and representatives were anxious
to force tho war with Spain. months
before it was declared. The nation
has since learned that these hot headed
patriots we're wrong and that the presi-
dent WAS right in his policy of delay
and in making every possible prepare
ton before hostilities began. Con.
gress reached the height of its glory
when the war appropriation was passed,
when republicans and democrats united
in a vote of confidence in the president
and placed fifty millions in his hands
to provide for the national defense.
Again when war was declared congress
rose to sublime height, and had it
then adjourned it would have gone
down in history as second only to the
colonial congress which passed the
Declaration of Independence. The
anti-climax which followed has been
pitiful. We do not blame the demo-
Gratis alone for this. Many republicans
sought to make too much party capital
out of the war and its successes.
This naturally aroused the jealous
antipathy of the democratic members
and all sorts of party chickering's and
strife found place in the congressional
balls. While it was certainly to the
credit of the republican party that its
president was able to conduct the war
satisfactorily still it is our opinion that
the war would have been just as glor-
ious a victory for our arms. had Bryan
