Washington, Nov. 1.-The alignment
of the powers on the British-German
agreement is now complete. Aside from
Italy and Austria, whose adherence to
the agreement was expected, owing to
their political relations with Germany
Japan is the only one of the powers
which has given unconditional assent
to the agreement. AS the matter now
stands five of the powers are united on
all the terms of the agreement, viz,
Great Britain, Germany, Italy. Austria,
and Japan, while three of the powers,
United States, France and Russia, ae-
cept the clauses relating to the open
and the territorial integrity of China,
but withhold action on the third clause
to future procedure in case any power
seizes territory. Neither the state de-
partment nor the Russian embassy has
received information of Russias an
swer, thought The Associated Press in
its London dispatches announced that
the reply had been received at the Brit
iSh foreign office on October 80 and un-
reserVedly accepted the first two
clauses. In regard to the third clause
parties to the Russian circular of April
25, saying that she would modify her
attitude according to circumstances.

Condition Not Serious.

New York. Nov. 1.-THE death OF
Millionaire William Marsh Rice at his
Madison avenue apartments ON Septem-
Der 49, the attempt of his attorney,
Albert T. Patrick, to cash checks for
large amounts which purported to be
signed by Rice; the discovery by the
bank officials that Mr.. Rice was lying
dead at the time the checks were pre-
sented; the subsequent claim by Patrick
that Mr.. Rice had made him, by will,
the trustee of his estate which amounts
to anywhere from three to eight mil
lions; the charge Of forgery both as re-
CARDS the checks and the will placed
against Patrick and Mr.. Rice's valet,
Charles f. Jones; the arrest of Patrick
and Jones and their lodgment in jail
have kept New York interested for over
a month in what, by the developments
of to-day, promises to become the most
celebrated crime which the courts Of
this city have been called on to investi-
gate.
The first incident leading up to the
sensation Of to-day was the fact dis
closed yesterday that Jones had been
taken to the district attorneys office
and the subsequent rumor that he had
made confession to the authorities.
Before the public had time to learn if
the rumors of a confession was true
came the more startling statement that
during the night Jones had attempted
suicide by cutting his throat with
penknife given him, he says, by Attor-
ney Patrick, who is also confined in the
TombS.
That portion of the confession which
has to do with the last moments of the
old man, is the following, given out by
the authorities as coming from Jones,
the scene taking place in the apartment
of the millionaire and he lying sick in
bed:
Rice said-"I am very nervous Mr..
Patrick. I wish you wouldn't trouble
me- Please SO away"
Patrick replied: + have some salts
here, Mr.. Rice, that will cure your ner-

"Then Patrick said to me: Get me
towel and sponge I got him both.
Then Patrick said:
Jones, you have to leave I left.
AS l was leaving Patrick said: I'll re-
main here until Mr.. Rice gets to sleep
He closed the door behind me.
Il stood in the hall for few minutes,
and soon | heard Mr.. Rice laugh.
thought this was queer, so pushed
open the door. I saw Mr.. Rice lying on
his back in bed
"The towel that I had given Patrick
was wrapped around the sponge in a
cone shape.
This cone was lying directly over
Mr.. Riees eyes and nose
Patrick was pressing it down with
lis right hand. Patrick did not see
ne, and, Of course, Mr.. Rice could not.
After seeing what I had seen 1 went
and lay on my bed.
Mr.. Rice grew very sick. Patrick
said to me: Go get a DOCTOR 1 went

WILL PROTECT ALL VOTERS
Measures Taken to Ensure the Rights
Anarchtstic Orders of Croker ana
Jones the Republican National Com-
mittee Declares That All Votes Shall
be Properly Counted and Recorded us
Cast.

Cast.
New York, Nov. 1.-The Republican
National committee issued formal
statement to voters tonight as follows:
"Mr. Croker. the head of the demo-
cratic organization in New York, has
ordered his subordinates TO gather in
force at the polls next Tuesday and IN
case they see the result of the count 60
ing against them to eject the election
officers and take possession of the ballot
boxes by force This astounding an
archistic order has been approved and
endorsed by Senator Jones, the chair
man of the Democratic National COM
mittee.
"The republican party has always
stood squarely for a fair vote and an
honest count. A dishonest election IS
possible only through violence, such as
is now threatened by the dmocratic
leaders, because an equal number of
inspectors from both political parties is
present at every polling place and so
long as these inspectors are not inter-
fered with the voting must be conduct
ed fairly. The democratic plan official
ly declared now is to overpoWer the in
spectors, whenever their party eXigen-
ces appear to require violent interfer
ence.
notwithstanding the announcement
of this democratic policy of terrorizing
voters and burglarizing ballot boxes,
the republican committee desire to state
to the public that the republican man
ayers, national, state and local, have
taken measures to insure the protection
of the rights of every voter in the pend
ing election and that the votes shall be
properly counted and recorded as cast
The committee therefore admonish all
voters that they must not be deferred
by these threats of the democratic lead
ers from exercising the right of suffrage
on Tuesday next, for every citizen is
entitled by law to protection in this, his
highest privilege and we shall see to it
that his vote shall also be protected, at
all hazards"

Waterbury, Conn, Nov. 1.-Superin-
tendent Burton A. Cockings of the Con-
necticut Lighting and Power company
had very narrow escape from electro
eution tonight. He was passing along
West Main street about 10.30 o'clock,
when he noticed one of the cross wires
dangling in the street, and not suppos-
ing it was charged grabbed hold of 1t
with both hands to remove it. 1t
proved to be live wire, however, and
1t instantly doubled him up and threw
him several feet into he gutter He
was unable to release himself, and
some persons, who were attracted by
his cries received shocks when they en-
deavored to assist him. His condition
was rapidly becoming alarming, when
an employe of the telephone company,
who was wearing a macintosh chanc-
ed to pass along. and by means of the
garment he freed Mr.. Cockings from
the wire. Mr., Cockings escaped with
out further injury than having his
hands severely burned, but a few min
utes more delay and the accident
would undoubtedly have proved fatal.

CLAIM ED.

Again the wall of those upon whom burdened air. It does not seem to be heard in Heaven, for no rain falls and | it does not seem to be heard on earth by the Boss, for the watering carts do not come out and scatter streams of
 blessing as they ought to. What a
 situation it is. Many people in this city have labored for many years to
 have something done to protect New Haven against the dust-storms that are more dangerous than and as dis agreeable as the sandstorms of the Arizona desert. Some of those who have thus labored have died with out the sight of the we'll and regularly watered streets which they longed to see. And the present indications are that many more of those who have thus
 labored will also die without the satis- flying sight. We have law enough now, watering carts enough and water
 enough. But they say there isn't money
 enough. Perhaps there never will be,
 even if New Haven's assessors make
 the city as much richer each year as
 they have this year. Prohibition does
 mt prohibit and street t-sprinkling does
 mt sprinkle. We don't suppose thet
 even an amendment to the Constitution
 of the United States providing that
 street sprinkling should begin in New Haven every year on the 18th of March and be thoroughly done thereafter un- til the 18th of December would do the business. "Dust claims dust" saith the poet, and we ill New Haven certain ly seem to be claimed.

RACE AUGMENTATION.

It is astonishing how some things do look to some people. Here is the dis cerning Baltimore Sun saying that the denial of the right of Porto Ricans, Ha- waiians and Filipinos to govern them selves-much less help by voting to gov- ern us-necessarily silences those north erners who would have the Africans govern the South. The principle of race discrimination is at length established, and an American citizen may now be twenty-one and yet be thought incapa- ble of taking part by voting in the gov- ernment of this country. Noting the Philadelphia Manufacturer says: "'The bloody shirt and the 'nigger vote are phrases that awaken no response in the breasts of a generation which is grow ing up to Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines. Talk about the southern problem and the negro problem, what are they compared with the Philippine problems? African negroes are nothing to compare with the wild men of Bor- neo"
 Isn't that queer talk? Does "benevo- lent assimilation" mean any such thing as that?
