CAUSES SATISFACTION.

News of the English German Agreement
Well Received at washington.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.-The state de-
partment here has not yet been advised
officially of the terms of the alliance
reported from London to have been
reached between Germany and Eng
land to maintain territorial integrity of
China and to keep ports open. While
the move gives general satisfaction
here, the officials say that it probably
is misnomer to call it an alliance.
What probably has happened, they
say, has been a reaffirmation of prin-
ciples already agreed upon, not only
between England and Germany, but
between all the great powers interested
in China. Again. the officials point to
the note of Secretary Hay of July 8,
defining the position of the United
States and declaring it to be its policy
among other things to preserve Chi
nese territorial and administrative
entity, protect all rights guaranteed to
friendly powers by treaty and interna-
tional law and safeguard for the world,
the principle of equal and impartial
trade with all arts Of the Chinese en-
pre-" The records show that all the
great powers accepted the principle of
this guarantee of territorial integrity.
Their expressions on the point of COM
mercial freedom were not quite as ex-
pllcit as in the case of territorial in
tegrity, and it appears from study of
the British German agreement above
referred to, that particular care has
now been taken to clear up any doubt

will Also Endeavor to Keep the
Ports of the Empire Open
to the World.
Present Complications Not to Be
Used to Obtain Territorial
Advantages.

LONDON, Oct. 90. Germany and Eng
land have formed an alliance to main
tain the territorial integrity of China
and to keep ports open.
The terms of this agreement. which
was arrived at Oct. l6 between Lord
Salisbury and Count Won Hatzfeldt
German ambassador to England, are
officially given as follows:
THE German government and her
British majesty's government, being
DESTROYS to maintain their interests in
China and their rights under existing
treaties, have agreed to observe the fol-
lowing principles regarding mutual
policy in China:
"Frst-It is matter of joint per-
manent interest that the
ports of China should remain free
and open to trade and to every other
legitimate form of economic activity
for the peoples of all countries without
distinction; and the two governments
agree on their part to uphold the same
for all Chinese territory as far they
can exercise influence. ~
No New Territory to Bel ken.
"Second-Both governments agree
that they will not ON their part make
use of the present complication to OBJ
tain tor themselves any territorial adj
vantage in Chinese dominion, and will
direct their policy towards maintaining
undiminished the territorial condition
Of the Chinese empire.
"Third-In case of another power
making use of the complications in
China in order to obtain under any
form whatever such territorial advan.
tages, the two contracting parties re-
serve to themselves the right to come
to preliminary understanding regard.
ing the eventual step to be taken for
protection of their own interests in
China "
.'Fourth-The two governments will
communicate this agreement to other
powers interested, especially Austria
Hungary, France. Italy, Japan, Russia
and the United States, and invite them
to accept the principles recorded in it. y

onment."
This verdict was returned by the 10
men who were selected to try Henry E.
Youtsey, formerly Governor Taylor's
stenographer, on the charge of being a
principal in the shooting Of Governor
William Goebel.
The vote was unanimous that Yout-
sey was guilty. Then the degree of
punishment was taken up On this
question the jury was somewhat di-
vided, but finally agreed on the life
sentence.
= Henry Youtsey is the third man to be
found guilty of connection with the
shooting of Goebel. Caleb Powers,
tried for completely in the case, was
sentenced to life imprisonment. while
James Howard, tried on the charge of
being principal in the shooting, was
sentenced to death.
Unconscious During His Trial
During the early days of Youtsey's
trial the prisoner exhibited signs Of
breaking down. While Arthur Goebel.
brother to the dead man, was on the
stand testifying, Youtsey rose in the
prisoners dock and denounced the
witness in wild EXPLANATIONS, while
Youtsey's wife screamed that Goebel
had sworn away the life of her hus.
band. s- $50
Later the prisoner became uncon-
scious, and, according to attending
physicians, has since practically been
inanimate. Each day his bed has been
carried to the door of the juryroom
where it stood in plain view of the
court, its occupant apparently oblivious
to his surroundings. Motions for
continuance were overruled by Judge
Cantrill who declared that he was pow.
erless to stop the trial unless the de-
PENDANT be adjudged lunatic.
Later the defense filed motion for
an arrest of Judgment and Judge Can
trill set it for hearing on the second
day of the February term. Youtsey
was ordered to the Frankfort Jail.

Found Guilty of Setting Fires in Timber
on Indian Reservation.
DrLUrH, Oct. 22.-C. E. Selye and
Harry Shearer were found guilty in
the United States court here of start
ing fires among the timber on the Chip
pewa Indian reservation in Itasca
county. 1t was alleged that the de-
PENDANTS set the fires in order to dam
age the timber on the reservation,
which, under the dead and down tim
Der act, the Indians are permitted to
sell. The principal witnesses for the
prosecution were Chippewa Indians.
Both Selye and Shearer are well known
in this section, the former having for
several years past been prominent
lumberman. This is the first case of
its kind that has ever been tried in this
district and has created considerable
interest among lum bermen. The PEN

JOHN SHERMAN,

Der of relatives and friends who had
assembled in Washington in response
to summons were at the bedside when
the end came. The most devoted of
them was Mrs. McCallum, the adopted
daughter of ex-Secretary and Mrs
Sherl Rn, who remained constantly at
the bedside during the last hours. Flu
neral services over the remains will be
held in this city and Mansfield, the
Ohio home, where the secretary and
Mrs. Sherman spent so many of their
summers. Interment will be in the
family lot at that place and will occur
in all probability, on Thursday, the re-
mains lying in state in the Episcopal
church at Mansfield for about day
preceding the funeral services.
MT. sherman Mourned by All.
Among Mr.. Sherman's former asso.
ciates in the senate, his demise will be
sincerely felt, without reference to
party. In this field of activity his
service had been particularly able and
successful. He had served so long that
experience added to his natural talents.
He was recognized master of all great
public questions, past and present, anG
he had at his fingers end all the array
of facts to give complete calculation to
a subject. He was regarded as guide,
rather than party leader, for his con-
servatism, cautious, mate good judg-
ment and power Of effective execution
inspired confidence in any line of ac.
ton which he advised. This was par.
ticularly true in later years, when he
held a leading place in the senate on
the questions of finance and foreign at.
fairs. Amid the most heated argu.
ments and the widest differences, the
entrance of the venerable Ohio senator
into the debate was the signal for a
period of calm and dispassionate con.
sideration of the serious arguments of
the case. His appearance in debate
was often hike the sudden entrance of
the schoolmaster into room full of un-
ruIy pupils.
shrewd, Industrious and Thrifty.
In private life Mr.. Sherman was
known as a shrewd business man,
whose habits of industry, thrift and
economy had built up large fortune.
When IN this city MIR. Sherman spent
most of the time In his library, immedi-
ately to the right of the main entrance
and opposite the drawing room. Here
he could be found almost every day,
sitting in a great leathern chair, before
a wide, fiat desk of antique pattern.
The walls are covered with books, not,
however, the books OF student or lit
erary man, but volumes of historical
data, governmental statistics and treat
les and public questions with which his
mind had been SO long engaged. He
gave considerable time also to looking
after his large property interests.
Mr. Sherman was well known about
the streets of Washington. He was
fond of walking, and in his later years
he drove almost every afternoon in a
large open carriage, accompanied by
Mrs. sherman, usually. The tall,
straight-hned stovepipe hat. not of lat
est design, was invariably worn by him,
and his dress was of that simL lcity
aid dignity.

OILERS HAVE RISKY WORK.
Life Is FrauEht with Dangers of In
lury Or Denth.

Life Is Fraught with Dangers of In.
Jury or Death.
The job OF the Oiler Is by no means
enyiable, says the Chicago Chronicle.
In big establishments there are such
vast numbers of wheels, shafts, pistOns
and other moving points OF contact
which need frequent fabrication that
one man Is kept constantly employed
pouring oil into the places needed. In
some of the extremely large manufac-
turing plants where there are acres OF
machinery the services of more than
one man are required to perform this
task. The job Is more or less Disagree
able and dangerous. One false step or
careless movement and the man may
come in contact with piece OF swiftly
revolving machinery that will hurl him
to death In Il second. Every minute OF
his time Is spent In wilderness OF
powerful forces replete with death-deal-
ing vigor. As is often the case, time
and long experience lead to careless
ness, and many oilers while engaged In
work have been caught In cog wheel
or fallen upon a shaft and been instant
ly killed, fatally injured or MANNED for
life.
The oiler becomes so expert In his
work that by touching a point Of con-
tact.he can tell from the degree of heat
whether or not the place needs lubri-
eating. In some Instances point be-
comes so hot that 1t Is necessary to stop
the machinery and lot the heated spot

allure. Too great heat arising from In
sufficient oil or from the presence OF
some foreign body in the journals Is
the only serious difficulty for which
the Oiler has to watch.
The oiler must have olfactory nerves
to which the OdOr Of oil is not distaste-
full or else he must train them to that
state Of Indifference, for from morn
Ing until night his nOstrils will have to
encounter the unpleasant smell. Con-
stantly the oil Is on his hands, on his
Overalls and q can that Is continually
in his hands is always giving forth the
evil smell. The Oiler dresses In close
fitting Overalls and jacket made Of
denim, which Is cut to fit snugly In
order that there may be as little danger
as possible Of any part Of the garments
