The terms of this agreement which was
arrived at October 10th between Lord

The German Government and Her Brit
ISL Majesty's Government being DESTROYS
OF maintaining their interests in China

F1rst-lt S a matter Of joint perma-

on the rivers and littoraI of China should

GIVES SATISFACTION HERE.
Will This Agreement be Accepted by Russia
as Binding on Herself?
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, Oct. 2o.-The State De
partment here has not yet been advised
officially of the terms of the alliance re-
ported to have been reached between
Germany and England to maintain the
territorial integrity of China and to keep
ports open. While the move gives gener-
al satisfaction here, the officials say that
1t is probably a miSnOmer to call it an
alliance. What has probably happened,
they say, is a Confirmation of the prin-
ciples already agreed upon, not only be
tween England and Germany but between
all of the great powers interested in
China. Again the officials point 70 the
note of Secretary Hay of july Ord. defin-
ing the position of the United States md
declaring it to be it's policy among otner
things to preserve Chinese territorial
and administrative entity, protect all
rights guaranteed to friendly powers by
treaty and international law and safe
guard for the world the principle of equal
and impartial trade with all parts of
the Chinese Empire"
The record shows that all the great
powers accepted the principles Of this
guarantee of territorial integvity. Their
expressions on the point of commercial
freedom were not quite as explicit as in
the case of territorial integrity, and it ap-
pears from the study of the British-Ger-
man agreement above referred to that
particular care has now been taken to
clear up any doubt on this point. Prob
ably Germany was the first to engage with
England on this point because of her anX-
iety to preserve for German trade the
important commerce she has built up
on the Yang Use river which might fall
m England in a division. The special
reference made in the agreement to river
mme bears out this inference.
The United States will promptly adhere
to the principles contained in this agree
ment as it is directly in the line OF our
aspirations. II Russia can be brought to
accept it's terms as binding upon herself,
there can be no doubt, according to the
official view here, that a substantial
movement will have been achieved toward
a final settlement of the Chinese trouble.

POPULATION OF ALABAMA.
Increase For Last Decade Slightly Above That
For the Ten Years Preceding.
fBv the Associated Press. F,

Washington. Oct. 20.-The Census Blu
reau has made public the returns of the
population in Alabama.
The population in the State in 1900 is
1.S2S. 697. as against 1913 OF in 1890. rep
resenting an increase since 1890 of 3l5. $50
or 20.S per cent. This rate Of increase IS
slightly greater than tina for the decade
from 1880 to 1890. when 1t was 1913 per
cent, but somewhat less than that from
1870 to 1880 when il was 26.6 per cent.
From 1920 to 1880. its population increased
142 per cent, and in the following decade
o0.S per cent. but subsequently the rate
of increase declined until the decade from
1860 to 1870. when it was only 81 per
cent.
The population Of Alabama in 1900 is
more than fourteen times as large as the
population given for 1920. the first census
taken after it's organization as a State
in 1919.
Of the Sc counties in the State, all but
two have increased in population during
the decade. the counties showing more
than so Ger cent. of increase being Gov
ington, 1885 per cent; Geneva. sos per
cent; Coffee, 1913 per cent; Jefferson,
$50 per cent; Walker. 56.4 per cent. and
Franklin, 54.5 per cent. Jefferson county
shows the largest numerical increase
(51 ,919), but nearly One-fourth of this in
crease is due to the increase in the popu-
lation of the city of birmingham.
The two counties showing a decrease IN
| population are Cleburne and Lawrence.
There are POI incorporated cities, towns
and villages in Alabama, for which the
population in 1900 is separately returned
Of these there are only 80. that have g
population of over 1000 and only 9 O.
these have a population in excess of five
thousand.

Daily inter mountain. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1881-1901, 1900-02-17

Many Of the adherents Of the anti
Clark wing of the democracy deeply
regret the position I'M which they have
been placed before the public by the I'M
wise and unmanly course pursued by the
Anaconda Standard. They realize that
that newspaper has aroused the antago-
nism Of the Independent yeomanry of
Montana, by it's vicious tendencies. and
that it has injured rather han aided any
honest effort that might be made looking
toward the punishment of crime or the
improvement of political situations in
this state. A break-away from the lead
ership of that newspaper is imminent. 1t
las not only over-played it's hand, but it
assume an authority in a political way
which is resented by it's more intelligent
followers. The average man., whatever
his political affiliations, has considerable
regard for fair play and for the unvar-
nished truth in the serious consideration
of a public question-neither of which
can be found in the Standard.

The evidence was brought out in the
Clark case today that the reason NO pro-
ceedings were taken against DR.. Treacey
was because it was thought she vas
more sinned against han shining This
excuse will mot be accepted by the public.
DIR. Treacey is one of the most promi-
nent citizens of Helena, a man Of educa-
ton and intelligence, who is entitled to
no baby plea for mental or moral weak
ness. If guilty of attempting to bride
the supreme our he should be punished
to the limit of the law, and the court
owes to itself and to the people imme-
diate action in the matter. Why was il
not held that Welcome was more sinned
against than SHINING?

and maintained as q weapon to COVER the
public and steal legislation by coercion
and fraud. the Standard owes to Mon
tana no consideration save that which
the pugilist may in sympathy accord to
the man who runs to brains rather than
is mightier than the fist. Not a man of
prominence in this state, who has testi-
fled for the defense in the senatorial case.
has escaped the charge of perjury in the
columns of the Standard: and no man
who has criticized that sheet for it's
hasty conclusions as to matters of fact
has escaped the charge of trying to de-
fend fraud and cover up crime.
That ram-shackled and badly dis
gruntled b~ull-dozer of the Montana press
has had it's day. however, as an influen-
it has dragged down to ruin and dis
grace. 1t has proved to the world thai
its paramount object of existence is to
punish it's personal enemies, and no
height of imagery has been too lofty, no
Shiny depth too vile, no field of exploit
ation too sacred, for the Intrusion of it's
tentacles and the cobraic poison of it's
distelIded fangs.
If sympathy has been aroused in some
quarters for Senator Clark. it is due less
to the merits of his cause, and to the
assumed virtues Of the faction which he
represents, than to the running amuck
of such crazy and bewildered misnomers
There are thousands of persons in Mon
tana today who fear the un%scrupulous
political activities of the Standard and
it's lieutenants-who recognize within
them every p~otentiality which political
fraud and corruption and coercion can
devise for the undoing of a great state
far more than they fear the moral effects
of the we'll known political derelictions
of the opposition wing of the democracy.
The honest citizens of this state would
have fraud and corruption on both sides
punished to the limit of the law, and they
would have decency and dignity and
| common sense directed to the consumma-
| ton of that end; but they are disguised
with the virtuous posturing of such a
rotten blatherskite as the Standard,
dip nectar from it's running sores.
