out, is a direct move toward the estab

the whole of the $4,000 square miles of
Shan Tung. instead of the 400 square
miles around Kiao Chou. which was
taken out of the Chinese domain by Ad-
miral Won Diedrchs after the native

Baron Won Heidking, the German

military officials in Shan Tung have
asked permission from the Pekin gov

force of occupation.
WATCHING RUSSIA.
According to the Japanese papers,
there is grave apprehension in British
German diplomatic circles regarding
the situation in China, which is height
ened by the fact that Russia is again
making overtures for control OF affairs
in Corea. In consequence OF recent de-
velopments the leave granted Sir Claud
Mcdonald. British Ambassador, has
been Withdrawn, and he will remain at
the Chinese capital.

SHARK[Y ISSUES Def
Posts Forfeit of $4,000 For Sec
ond Fight With Jim
Jeffries.
His Friends Believe That the Cham
pion Will Refuse to Accept
Challenge.
Receipts From Recent Fight Amount
To $66,S4S-How 1t is
Divided.

New York, Nov. tom O'Rourke,
on behalf of Tom Sharkey, has posted
forfeit of $1,000 with George Considine
to bind articles of agreement for Sec
ond fight with Jim Jeffries. O'Rourke,
who is anxious to clinch the match,
wants the bout to take place within
the next four months. He is positive
that his protege will be in good shape
by that time and prepared to put UP a
hard battle. Sharkey's friends believe
that Jeffries wants no more of Shark
ey's game, and O'Rourke says he will
wager $1,000 that Jeffries will not ac-
cept his def inside the next four
months.
Sharkey was about town yesterday
and did not seem to suffer so much
from his injuries as on the previous
day. He was examined by Dr. Francis
L. Butler. After looking the sailor over
carefully he announced that the sailor
had only one rib broken. His whole
body is stiff and sore and his shoulder
is badly wrenched. Sharkey was able
TO fill his part at Roster & Iial's last
night in Around New York in Eighty
Minutes
Jeffries has rounded up nicely and
the effect of the punishment received in
his bout with Sharkey is rapidly pass
ing away. Jeffries' arm has improved
SO that he is now able TO raise both his
hands and spar with his brother Jack.
The champion is also one of the stars
in the Koster e Bal east. Jeffries has
little to say about Sharkey's challenge
and it is probable that he VIII pay no
attention TO the sailors def until he is
prepared to enter the ring.

Sharkey and Jeffries will receive
their percentage OF Friday nights re-
CENTS today. Jeffries' share of the re-
ceipts VIII amount to s33,423 while
Sharkey will have to be satisfied with
S1l,141 for the beating he received. Ac-
cording to one of the officials of the
Coney Island Sporting Club, the total
receipts of the fight were 66s4S. For
showing at Roster & Bials this week
Jeffries will receive $500 and Sharkey
$1,000 II is estimated also that $780,
600 Will be received by exhibiting bio
graph pictures of the fight. The fight
lers each hold one-quarter interest,
which means that their share viii
amount TO something like $4,000 each.

AS a guess entirely on the result of
the election in Poweshiek county we
predict the election of the republican
candidates straight through. An eff
fort and strong one has been made to
elect Mr.. Arthur, the present treasurer,
and he will run ahead of his ticket,
but he will lack some hundreds of votes
enough to make it. J. II. Platt is more
likely to succeed as supervisor, that is
to say he will come nearer to the
winning point, yet he too will fail. or
if elected it will be by a scratch. If
either pulls through it will be for the
reason that some 500 republicans fail

partnent of the Sioux City Journal.
Mr.. Mullan received his initiation into
the newspaper business on the Scarlet
land Black, the college publication. He
made the paper a financial success,
which was something not always ac-
complished with that paper. Iowa COL
lege seems to be prolific of newspaper
men, and successful ones at that. Mr..
Mullan will doubtless maintain the
college reputation.

all sorts of earth may be used for this

mixed with the earth and worked into

of making it inflammable. These in
gradients are the inventors secret.
They take the place and produce the ef-

article and must be substances of quick
ignition and combustability, such as

coal is pressed into bricks. They are
hard and brittle and ignite readily and

she recently began action for a di-

fled she continued TO visit him until
one week ago last night. Why he at
tempted to wreak vengeance on his
father-in-law and mother-in-law does
not appear.
Barthel was not a drinking man. His
landlady says he left his room yester-
day afternoon about 8 o'clock in excel
lent humor When he knocked at the
door of his wife's house he was refused
admittance by Mrs. Elizabeth Rohlfng.

His wife, fearing for her parents,
arms about his neck, begged him not to
shoot. He thrust her aside and stepped
over to the sofa where his father-in-
law was lying. He had been aroused
from sleep by Barthels rude entrance.
Don't do anything, George, said
Rohlfing.
Barthel was beside himself in min
ute, and without word struck the old
man, who is "A years old, over the head
with one of the revolvers. Rohlfing fell
insensibIe and Barthel rained blow af-
ter blow, tearing the scalp and fractur-
ing the skull. Mrs. Rohlfng rushed to
her husbands assistance and attempted
TO wrest the weapon from him. He
struck her with one of the weapons,
felled her to the floor.
With these two gray-haired victims
lying insensible on the floor he was not
satisfied. He turned on his wife, who
had been mixing bran for chickens
when he entered, and who, in dazed,
stupefed way, was still at work.
Approaching her, he called her name,
which seemed to awaken her from her
trance. She ran past him and out of
the kitchen door into the yard. He pur-
sued. and when the street was reached
fired at her repeatedly. Three bullets
entered the back of her head. She ran
several yards before she fell. Neigh
