RECORD OF THE FIFTY-FIFTH
CONGRESS-.
The Saint Paul globe., 1899-03-06

The demand of the Italian govern
ment for ninety-nine-year lease; of
San Nun bay, province of Che Kiang,
as coaling station and naval base,
included also a demand for the con-
cession Of three islands off the coast
of Che. Kiang, with the right to con-
struct railroad from San Mum bay
to Po-Yang lake and to preferential
railroad and mining privileges within
a sphere of influence covering the
southern two-t thirds of Che Kiang
province.
According to a dispatch from Pekin
last Friday, the action of the Italian
government caused great excitement
there, not only among the Chinese, but
also among the foreign diplomats, the
Chinese being convinced that Great
Britain was chiefly responsible for the
demand, and that it had been made
to emphasize Great Britain's displeas-
ure at the turn which the northern
railroad question had taken.
The representative of great DOW
er-according to the same dispatch.
was reported to have said that the
moment had arrived for International
control of China, and it was also as
serted that, If the policy of spheres
of influence" was to be inaugurated,
the United States would doubtless have
a say in the matter with a probable
preference for the province of Chi Ii.
ROME, March 5.-Little attention is
paid here to the refusal Of the Chinese
government to grant the requested
lease of San Nun bay, to be used as
naval base and coaling station. No
doubt is entertained that the conces-
sion will be made after further nego-
tiations.

WALLACE PHELPS
Assumes the Editorship of the
Alliance Review Next
Monday.

Col. w. F. Hinman will retire from
the Alliance Review and his editorial
,lace will be filled by Wallace H. Phelps.
Mr.. Phelps is well known in Stark
county, having conducted the Review
and other newspapers, some time on one
side of the fence, sometimes on the
other and frequently on both. He is an
affable gentleman and a good writer
The Alliance Leader has the following
to say Of the change, which occurs next
Monday:
Wallace Phelps, who has a record of
belonging to five different political part
les within three years, is to be Colonel
Humans successor and will take
charge Of the Review next Monday.
Mr.. Phelps is we'll known in Alliance
having edited at various times in years
past every paper in the town. He
founded the Leader and during one of
the periods of his political "reconstruc-
tion," sold the paper out to the Review
company and wrote editorials for the
sheet to which he will now return. So
cially Mr.. Phelps is a good fellow, but
politically his writings will have but
little effect in moulding public opinion
by reason of the fact that he has "wab-
bled' at stated intervals for years, and
an opinion expressed one day is liable
to be changed the next.

The speech Of Congressman ]. A, Nor
ton of Ttfin, nominating John r. Nc
Lean for governor, was a gem of elo-
quence and a splendid and concise pre-
sentation of facts. The convention was
stirred with the enthusiasm the speech
brought forth and both the speaker and
the subject of his speech were wildly
cheered. Congressman Norton said:
Gentlemen of the Convention and
Fellow Citizens: John r. Mclean Qn-
terrupted by great applause). John r.
Mclean has lived more than third Of
a century in Ohio. He has been sub
jected to the hardships that come in the
way of every man who has to progress
in the world by his own efforts He is
a self-made man and he knows what 1t
is to encounter all the difficulties and
trials of practical working and busi-
ness life. He has been a successful
man. But, in his own success, he had
never overlooked and passed by the
troubles and failure Of others. His hand
has ever been open with charity for the
poor and unfortunate. In the great
coal mining regions of Ohio, where
destruction and suffering have prevail
ed so disastrously to those who earn
their bread by toiling beneath the
ground, his name alone is an inspiration
for gratitude and love. There is not a
coal miner in Ohio who does not remem-
Der the substantial way in which John
r. Mclean has alleviated the suffer-
ing of his craft. Nor has there ever
been man Of this or any other state
who has more frequently come to the
relief of the poor in other channels of
life. The poor of his own Queen City
are very grateful to him for his large
contributions to them repeatedly made.
The flood sufferers of this and num-
ber of other Ohio cities remember how
he came to their relief in times Of dis
tress.
There is no man who has been more
charitable. With the laboring element
he is strong. for he has ever been the
friend Of the toiler. With his own en-
ployes, who are many, he is beloved for
his kindness and his consideration. He
is a man eminently in sympathy with
the common people.
A TRUE DEMOCRAT.
John r. Mclean is a Democrat. In
the cruel winds of winter and in the
burning rays Of the summers sun he
has gone forth and fought battles of
his party. From the graveyard Of

INSECT STUNG
HENRY MYERS
And Blood Poisoning Caused
Death in Eight Days.
INNATE AT THE WORKHOUSE.

the Bug Attacked Him His System
Previously Shattered by

Henry Myers, aged 27 years, died at
the Stark county workhouse after an
illness of eight days duration. Myers
was the victim Of an IL sects sting.
Myers, whose home is at 1856 West Main
street, Massillon, was driving cows to
the pasture in the rear of the workhouse
about eight days ago, when he was
stung over the left eye by an insect.
He spoke of the sting when he returned
but did not know the species of the in
sect which stung him. He said it was
a queer looking bug and exhibited a
small red mark where he was stung. A
few days after the occurrence Myers
complained of intense pain in the head
DR.. A. V. Smith, the workhouse physi-
clan, examined the sufferer and found
that a great quantity of pus had formed
in the region of the wound. Myers rap
idly became delirious and blood pois-
oning was found to be making rapid
advancement All that could be done
for the unfortunate man was to relieve
his sufferings as much as possible
Myers blood was in a disordered condi-
tion at the time he was stung and when
blood poisoning set in his case was

CAPTURED In
THE HENCOOP
An Aged Man Locked Up On a
Serious Charge.
HE TELLS A STRANGE STORY
About How Another Fellow Handed Him
the Chicken to Hold--Farmer
Made the Complaint In
an Adidavit.

Amos Murphy, a man apparently 20
years of age, is locked in the city prison
on the charge of attempted burglary,
filed against him by George Steffkin, a
farmer residing southeast of the city.
Shortly after 8 o'clock Friday morning
the patrol wagon was summoned to the
extension of South Cherry street, the
informant stating that he had man in
charge who, he belived, had stolen a
chicken from a neighboring coop. When
taken to the police station Murphy car
ried with him two wheat bags and a
chicken, which were taken in charge by
the officers.
Friday morning George Steffkin ap-
peared before Mayor Robertson and
filed the complaint against Murphy, al
leging that Amos had intended to enter
Steffkin's chicken coop and that he
caught him in the barnyard just as he
was about to open the door of the pOul-
try house. When asked what he was
doing there Murphy as Steffkin alleges,
replied that he had just come across the
fields and cut through the barnyard
to make short circuit homeward.
Steffkin suspicioned Murphy's purpose
and caught him and threw him down
and held him while neighbors who were
summoned sent for the patrol wagon.
Mrs. Steffkin was awakened by the
cackling of the chickens in the yard
and she awakened her husband who inn
mediately went out and made the dis
covery. At the police station Murphy
alleged that he had accompanied a man
named Keefer out upon country road
short distance, his companion desiring
to go to Waynesburg. He states that
Keefer left him when he was outside OF
the city and handed him the bag con-
tanning the chicken and told him he had
better take it along home with him.
Murphy alleges that the bag which he
carried about his shoulders was there
for the purpose Of keeping him warm
and that he did not steal the chicken
and that he never intended to enter
Steffkin's hen coop. It is alleged that
he told Steffkin that he had secured the
chicken at North Industry Murphy
was placed under $500 bond until he car
have a preliminary hearing before the
mayor. Being unable to secure bond
he was returned to the city prison.

at him, only to fall at his feet. John

senile hypocrites. He has remained un-
scathed beneath the fires Of their bitter
ness and their misrepresentation
John r. Mclean is today the peer Of

leader of his party in all the land. You,
who are given to talking loud now Of
Hon. William Jennings Bryan and the

you will, that it was John r. Mclean
who made 1t possible for you to have

stand by. You would never have heard
of the Chicago platform If it had not
been for John r. Mclean.
Fellow Democrats, you will all re-
member that one gentleman who has
spoken here today against Mr.. Mclean
thought him good enough and great
enough in the Chicago convention Cf
1896 to be president of the United States,
and, as such, supported him on repeat

there is no man I love more than John
r. Mclean for his honesty and inte-
gritty, for his Democracy and his citi-
zenship. J would not make inferior any
of the elegant gentlemen, Of the good

1t is the eve of the presidential contest,

we will have taken a long stride to-
ward the election of that gallant leader,
William j. Bryan. We can only win
this battle by proper organization. No
man can give us better organization
or make a stronger fight for us on his
own personality. Give us John r Nc
Lean in this fight, and victory is sure to

LOUISVILLE
RESIDENT DIES.
Joseph Frantz Will Be Missed
By NeighbOrs and Friends.
LOVED BY ALL WHO KNEW HIM.
Reared Large Family of Good citizens
aud Was one of the Respected
Men Of the County
The Funeral.

Joseph Frantz, a pioneer resident of
Stark county, died Thursday morning at
his home west of Louisville. The de-
ceased has been troubled with asthma
for Is years and that, with advancing
years and incident infirmities finally
caused his death. He was born near
Belfort, Alsace, a province Of France
in the year 1922 and came to America
when he was five years old. His par
ents settled In Nimishillen township and
Mr.. Frantz has resided there ever since.
He adopted carpentering as his trade
and followed that vocation for q years,
working in Louisville, Massillon and
other towns during that time. He was
married May %, 1S49 at Barryville, to
Magdalene Favier, and, of the eleven
children born from the union, ten are
yet alive. The sons are. Joseph, Au-
gust Frank and Henry, the latter re-
siding in Cleveland. Miss Josephine,
Miss Mary and Miss Euphrasia reside at
home. Mrs Eugene Somblanet and
Mrs. Ada Martha are the married
daughters. Another daughter is Miss
Clara Frantz, of Canton.
In 1868 Joseph Frantz and his family
removed to a farm west of Louisville
and has lived there ever since. He and
his estimable wife celebrated their gold
n wedding anniversary May % 1899, and
at that time Mr.. Frantz's death was
little expected to occur soon. He was
one of the most widely known residents
of the county and was very highly re-
spected by all who knew him for his
integrity and genial hospitality. I'm
assuming, kind hearted, obliging and
honest beyond fear of reproach, he COM
manded the respect and love Of all who
were in the least acquainted with him,
and his death leaves a void in the ranks
of the pioneers of Stark county that
can never be filled or forgotten. He was
an. earnest advocate Of public education
and labored all his life for the prosper
| ity and welfare of his friends and his
adopted country. His name was a by
word for all that is desirable in man
and he was thought of as father by
many young people whom he had be-
| friended. He carefully raised his chill
dren in the path of duty and trained
and educated them to good citizenship
and right living. His wife still sur
wives him and will remain at the old
homestead. Funeral Saturday morning
at 10 o'clock at the st. Louis church in
Louisville, and the remains will be in
| tered in the church cemetery.
