president, Secretary Root and Acting
Secretary Adee participated, careful in-
structions were prepared for Mr.. Rock
hill, the United States special commits
sioner to China. to be forwarded at once
to him for his guidance.
The United States has taken the lead
in replying to China that there will be
no temporizing negotiations and there
is every reason to believe the powers
will be united in this same policy. The
answer Of the United States was quick
ly followed by similar action on the
part of Germany, the Berlin foreign Of
flee delivering to the Chinese minister
an answer refusing to enter into nego-i
tiations on the ground that there was
no evidence that Ii Hung Chang 8 Gre
dentials gave him sufficient power to
act, and that nothing short of complete
authority from the responsible rulers of
China, the emperor and empress dow
| ager, could be regarded as sufficient.
| 1t is believed that Japan will take
similar action, If indeed such action
already has not been taken. The course
\ of France and Great Britain has not
i -
been made known here, but there is
thought to be no doubt that these gov
ernments will decline to treat with
China at this time. Each government,
however, is acting entirely on its own
responsibility and there was no pre-
arrangement as to the reply.
The German reply in one respect is
regarded as having significance beyond
that of the United States, in that it is
based on the theory there can be nc
|isovereign authority in China other than
A that emanating from the emperor and
empress dowager. Among diplomatic
agents this is said to be equivalent tc
an assertion that the existing regime /:

GRIPS BROTHER SUSPECTED.
Cleyv to a Mysterious Crime In New

York.
Z New York, Aug. 224.-The police be-
ilieve the half hour unaccounted for in
the alibi of Fred Scharn, brother of ka-
tie Scharn, the murdered factory girl,
holds the solution of the mystery of her
death. Chief of Police DeNery has taken
personal charge of the investigation.
s.Tt is the most battling murder mystery
the police have had to do with in recent
years, the chief said, but we are pur-
suing every possible clew, and feel
sure 1t will not be many hours before
the mystery is cleared away and the
brutal murderer of this young factory
girl is in custody-if he is not in custody
Already was the significant ending Of
the chief's statement.
"Do you think it possible, then. that
her young brother hammered out her
brains and strangled her to death?'
asked the reporter. The chief refused
to discuss the murder further.
Money found on the boy when first
locked up. it is now thought by the
police, may have been stolen from the
murdered girl.
An important development was the
discovery that watch paWned by
young Scharn was stolen from Mrs. Ke-
4 hoe, who occupies the adjoining apart
/ ments.
4 The police are convinced many of the
statements made by the brother of the
murdered girl We're lies. Police Inspector

The New York Almanac for 1901, issuei

remarkable enterprise on tho part OF the

tended solely for free distribution. The
numerous publications of this character
are usually gotten up with ths single
idea of cheapness, while the thought OF

will devote considerable space to textile
mill construction in the present year,
saying that returns for the last six
months do not show up as large as in
the first six months OF the year.
During the first half OF the year the
number of new mills entered upon was
9o7, and during the last six months the
number was ga. OF the 224 mills pro-
Jscte1, l44 ars devoted to the manufacture

ana linen manufacturing and for

During the year 531 mills have passed
under the review OF the Reporter, an
increase OF 80. over the 800 reported for
the year 1890.
This shows the fact that the United
States Is becoming the largest producer
OF textile fabrics in the world. The
number Of knitting mills constructed
during the past six months is the largest
on record. Nearly all of these mills
are devoted to cotton hosiery and under

growth during the past few years. Com
