CONCESSIONS ArsHANGHAE


| Acute Question Between America, Eng
| Anud and France settled.
| Washington, Dec. 31.-The announce
ment that the extension of the foreign
concessions at Shanghai, China, has
i been finally approved brings to close
a'dlpomatic controversy between Great
Britain, the United States and France,
| which has at times become rather
| acute, France taking the position at one
| stage sof the negotiations that the
American cooperation with the Brit
ish in opposing the French plans of ex-
tension was an unfriendly act toward
France. This and the other differences
| have been happily adjusted, according
to announcements from China, which
are borne out by the information Of
officials here.
The controversy assumed an interna-
tional scope when the three colonies at
hanghai-British, French and Ameri-
can--sought to extend their limits. The
concessions are just outside of the old
native city, and lie along the river
Whang Poo, near the point where it
joins the Yang -Tse- Kiang. These are
chiefly important because Shanghai is
the foremost port of entry for foreign
trade in the Chinese empire. The
French settlement is nearest the city,
and fronts on the river. Next comes
the British settlement so as to take i'll
q large area back of the old city, in
Guiding five American missionaries in
stitutions. The British, government op-
posed the extension quite vigorously
The British plan of extension was for
an international settlement" running
from the rear Of the British concession
up to the native city. France in turn
protested against this on the ground
that she would be entirely surrounded
without exit, except by the river the
native city, or over British territory.
The United States approved the plan of
an international settlement, as the
American interests were substantially
similar to those Of the British, but the
American attitude did nto include an
endorsement of all the contentious made
by the British. 1t was to this source.
of the American government that
France took exception, on the ground
that it was an unfriendly act to France
The negotiations while assuming no
outward show, of warmth, were carried
on with some briskness. Ambassador
Cambon of France presenting the
French side up to few weeks ago.
The adjustment finally reached is sat
isfactory to all parties concerned. The
French concession is extended without
including the American missions. The
British and American settlements are
extended and to some extent merged in
the international settlement, but the
British-American extension dies not so
enre1op -she French colonvt as to place
1t in a pocket.
Values of these central concessions is
considered as the population Of Shang-
hal is about 1000, Of which the great
er part is in the foreign settlement
Here the foreigners have the right to
carry. on trade and control property,
and also have their, own courts. police
and an organized military establish
ment.

Washington, Dec. 31.-The total num-

is almost wholly on the Atlantic and
gulf coasts, where 658 vessels of 1883

On the Pacific coast only LA vessels

previous year. This falling off in con-
struction on the Pacific coast in spite
Of the fact that the Alaskan trade next

been received from the physicians who
are treating Congressman Boutelle in
Boston, stating that his symptoms al

interview alleged to have ben given out

physician in this city, had stated that
while Congressman Boutelle might re-

been incorrect. 1t is further claimed
that Mr.. Robinson made no such state
ment and more than that he was not in
Boston at the time he was reported to
have discusse Mr.. Boutelles condition
and that the statement has caused
much distress among the friends of the
congressman. On the contrary, DR..
Aobinson has repeatedly expressed his

New York, Dec. S1.-The United Irish
Societies of New York and vicinity filled
the Academy of Music tonight at a
thy with the Beers and opposition to

Congressman Sulzer Congressman
Cummings of New York and others ad-

audience became enthusiastic and in
.dulged in. cheering for "Oom Paul" the
Beers and the South African republics.
Justice Fitzgerald had to wait sew
eral minutes for quiet before the enthu-
siastic audience could be induced to
stop cheering. He said: "The British
colonial Office seems to have, up to. this
point, made a mistake in calculating
the fighting qualities of those farmers.
1t is said that the colonial secretary will
send more troons to Africa. Perhaps
when the yeomen, foX+hunters and, by
the gracious permission Off the queen,
the Duke Of Connaught, goNto the relief
of the besieged troops Englands cup
may be again filled with bitterness.
Congressman Sulzer spoke next. His
speech was thoroughly bitter attack
upon Great Britain. He was cheered
when he commenced his address, and
every point scored against the British
brought forth rounds of applause.
When Mr.. Sulzer brought in the name
of Chamberlain the crowd mingled
groans with their Kisses. Stamping,
waving Boer flags, whistling and cheers
with occasional remarks, interrupted
the speech all the way through, Before
Congressman Sulzer had finished his
speech crowd of over 5000 had gath
cred in Irving place. in front of the
building, and overflow mass meetings
were held.
Mr.. Sulzer in closing said: MY
friends, we know not what the final
result will be. 1t may be the doom of
our sister republics, or as Bismarck
once said, it may be the tomb Of the
british empire. kat US home fin the
best, and hope that it will not be the
former. Let us fearlessly stand by
our institutions and express our SYM

Let us do our duty to the Beers, let us
express our sympathy to them ere it is
too late. Let us act now lest we for

Last Ni~ht.

A crowd of fully two thousand peo-
pie filed St Marys Catholic church to
the doors at midnight last night TO see
the New Year in. 1t was generally sup
posed that there would be a high mass
with music, but the crowd was disap-
pointed, as there was low mass. Hun
dreds of people were unable to gain ad-
mission to the church.
At st. Patrick's, st. Johns, st. Mi

Heart church there were high masses,
and each one of the churches was
crowded.

Manila, Dec. 81, 6:10 p. m--Four ex-
ploslve bombs, a few firearms and 500
rounds Of ammunition were discovered
in house in the center of Manila this
morning while the police were seeking
Recarte, the insurgent leader, who was
said to have come to Manila in the
hope Of effecting an outbreak yesterday
by taking advantage of the mobiiza-
tion of the American troops at General
Lawtons funeral. To-day it developed
that the plot Included the throwing of
bombs among the foreign consuls at

about international complications,

by the funeral procession spoiled the

been prepared for the attempt by
rumor, circulated widely among the
natives yesterday, that Aguinaldo was
in Manila and would personally lead
the outbreak. The American authori-
ties, having been advised of what was
brewing, prepared for all contingencies.
Captain Morrison, who commands the
troops in the most turbulent district
of the city says he does not believe an
actual uprising will ever occur, as the
natives lack the resolution to take the
first steps in a movement that would
entail fighting at close quarters with
the American trooRs.

A young man whose work keeps him
downtown until the early morning hours
usually reaches home with sharp appetite.
His mother, an indulgent woman, too, puts
little lunch where he can get it, but this
frequently fails to satisfy him. His wise
parent knows this and she saves the larder
from q Wholesale onslaught by locking
things up, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Now, If there is one thing in particular
that this youth dotes upon It is jelly. But
jelly is an article Of food that takes time
and skill in its preparation, and if the lady
left her jelly jars at his dlsposal-well, theirs
would be none to dispose OF after a few
mornings. So the jelly 10 locked up the
highest Of all.
The other morning the youth let himself
into the house just as the gray streaks Of
dawn were crossbarring the eastern sky
There was milk and bread awaiting him
but his soul craved for Jelly. He determined
tohunt for some. Taking slice of bread anC
knife he stole down cellar and searched tn,
fruit shelves. What happiness! He diml!
made out the outlines Of jelly jar. Wa
there any jelly in it? He dipped in his knit
and felt the soft and quivering mass. VIVA

had actually forgotten to turn the key OF
this treasure.
He drew out generous quantity ant
carefully spread it on the bread. He had t
do it largely by guesswork, because the Gel

spreading was done he macked his lip
tightly and took generous bite.
No, it wasn't Jelly. 1t was soft soap.
