Two Great Powers Will Maintain
Integrity Of China.
Have They Distrust of
Russia's PolicyP
Wording of the Agreement Gives
an Appearance of Hostility.

Paris, October 21.-The Anglo German
agreement to maintain the territory and
integrity Of China and to keep her ports
open to the commece of the world con-
tinues to monOpolize public attention in
France the commission OF the nams Of
Russia according to the version OF the
agreement supplied by the Havas agency
being the chief subject OF comment. The
Temps says;
I'VE can see nothing in the Immediate
sense of the agreement which does not
merit appreciation but the elimination
of Russia's name is calculated to hurt her
feelings by showing distrust. even sup
posing the intentions of the two powers
to be the purest.
ut is to be regretted that the wording
of the agreement gives an appearance of
hostility to an ally. The work Of peace Is
not furthered by throwing a bomb.
There are two important points in the
agreement. The first is that the second
article destroys somewhat the value OF
the protocal's Observation-Disclosures by reserv-
ing to the contracting parties the right
to make eventual arrangements accord
ing to the behavior Of third party. The
second point is that, If this specific &C
cord indicates a lasting understanding
between Germany and Great Britain,
it will be, thanks to the sad TransYaal
war the realization of a favorite plan of
Lord Roseberry and Mr.. Cham berlain
and at the same time, the starting point
Of new era in International relations.
The journal Des Debats after express
ing doubt that the agreement is di-
rected against Russia, asks whether,
on the contrary, Germany and Great
Britain, having accepted the situation
as it affects the establishment of Russia
north of the great wal, have not excluded
from that region other powers who are
prohibited from extending themselves at
the expense of China.
"If this be the case. it says, sit is the
integrity of China proper which the two
contracting powers guarantee. Before
giving a definite opinion regarding the
attitude we must know the attitude OF
Russia, for the Importance of the agrees
ment depends entirely upon whether it
is or is not hostile to Russia
After the foregoing and similar COM
ments had appeared in the French pres S,
1t became known that all the papers had
beer put on a false scent by an error in
transmitting the text Of the agreement
the omission Of the name of Russia
among the names OF the powers to whom
the agreement to be communicated. All
the comments were written upon the
theory that the Havas agency text is
correct.

THE INSANE REYOLTED.
OverpOwered Their Keepers In New
York Hospital.

PUughkeepsie, NY, October 21.-There
was a revolt at the MattaWan state hos
pitaI for the criminal insane at half past
six clock tonight, when six or eight
keepers were assaulted and oTerpoWered
By about 20 insane patients. Some of the
patients escaped and seven are still at
large. One or two Of the keepers are
badly bruised as a result OF the assault.
After the patients had been given their
usual Sunday night supper they were
taken back to their apartments in COM
pany with the keepers. Among the num-
Der were 10 or 20 who slept in one of the
large corridors, this being necessary on
account OF the cramped condition at the
institution. In this hall with the patients
were six or eight keepers, who sat Ia
their chairs watching the inmates as
they walked up and down in a restless
manner. There were no suspicious move
ments on the part Of the patients to indi-
cate that they had been planning a re-
volt of any kind. Suddenly each keeper
was attacked and heavy blows fell on
the heads OF the surprised attendants.
There old not seem to be any leader OF
the revolt and while the patients were
assaulting the keepers they would gaze
at each other occasionally as If waiting
for the word to make the break for hber.
ty. The keys held by the keepers were
soon taken from them and rush was
then made for the door leading from the
hall into the dining room. AS the pa
tients rushed through the dining room,
each one picked from the table heavy
plate or cup or bowl to use as a weapon
in case they were overtaken by the keep
ers.
From the dining room they went
through to adjourning rooms, the doors
of which were unlocked and then into the
long hall leading to the rear entrance
The keys were2 we'll known to them and
the rear door was unlocked and the moi
rushed out of the narrow door, fighting
with each other as they Went each want
ing to be in the lead and to reach the
outer gate first When the gate was
thrown open they rushed out of the yard,
fairly tumbIing over each other in their
anxiety to be free again. The keepers,
recovering from their surprise, pursued
the patients and captured all but seven
of them before they had gone far outside
the gates. Searching parties are after
the patients that escaped.
