REPLY OF THE CHINESE
TO THE JOINT NOTE FROM THE
ENJOYS OF THE
POWERS
NOT EXPECTED BEFORE JAN. 8
Earl La Hung Chang Is Reported
Partially Para1yzed, and 1t Is
Probable His Successor Will
Be Appointed.

PEKIN, Dec. 29.-S:r Robert Hart, di-
rector of Chinese imperial maritime GUS
toms, frequently sees Prince Ching He
says Prince Ching expects a definite re-
ply from the court to the joint note of
the powers not before Jan. s. He has
not been informed that Ii Hung Chang
has heard from the court that there are
any objections on the part of the Chi
nese to the maintenance of legation
guards or the razing of the Taku forts,
but he would not be surprised if this
were So He believes however, that
the note will be accepted in it's entirety
within a short time. The Chinese will
possibly make a few futile objections,
though he thinks both Prince Ching and
Ii Hung Chang will advise compliance
with the note as it stands.
1t is doubtful now whether Ii Hung
Chang will be able to attend the meet
ings of the diplomats. The signs of
old age are becoming more pronounced
and the lower portion of his body is
completely paralyZed. Though it is Off
cially announced each day that Earl LIS
condition is improved, it is a fact that
he has not appeared out of doors since
he was first taken i'll. His friends say
they believe he will not completely re-
cover and think that another commits
sioner must be appointed.
The refusal of DR.. Mumm Won Schwar-
zenstein, the German minister to China,
to return the buildings and grounds be-
longing to the Pekin club, lent as bar
racks for the Geman marines, causes
adverse criticism at the legations. An
other building has been hired for the
use of the marines. The minister recog-
nizes certain proprietary rights of the
club, but as the buildings adjoin the
German legation, he thinks it may be
necessary to keep them for a possible
enlargement in the future of the lega-
ton, giving in exchange for the premises
another piece of ground The club has
notified DR.. Mumm Won Schwarzenstein
that it would demand 900 taels a month
rental. beginning with November.

Ventersdorp that day without opposi-

ST. JOE SLEUTHS
ALMOST CAUGHT GROVE
OMAHA POLICE ARE HUNTING FOR
THE WOMAN IN THE


ST. JOSEPH, Mo, Dec. 29.-For the
fourth time the police and detectives Of
this city have been Outwitted by Pat
Grove and the men who are alleged to be
instrumental in keeping him from their
clutches Capt. Henry France led a
squad of officers In a raid on building
this evening, in which 1T was supposed
that Grove and Ralston, alias MCGEE,
Groves pal, were in hiding, but the Of
flcers found no trace of the men. Police
men Dillon and Carson stated tonight
that Grove and Ralston were in the
building this afternoon.
OMAHA, Neb., Dec. 29.-Eddy MCGEE,
alias Burns, alias Ralston, leader in the
Beals kidnapping at Kansas City nine
years ago, and who served a term in the
penitentiary for that time and a term
in the Joliet prison for another offense,
is now wanted by the police as the dark
compIeXicned man in the Cudahy alb,
ductfon. MCGEE is known to be a friend
of Pat Grove.
"There can be no doubt" said Chief of
Police Donohue tonight, that there was
a woman in the case, and / have reason
to believe that that woman is still in
Douglas county. 1 don't care to say
just why 1 think So Grove was not a
woman's man. So far as my knowledge
of him goes, he was. never known to be
mixed up with a woman in a love affair,
and if he took one into his confidence in
this case it was for business reas-n3
purely. And it is not difficult to UNDER
stand why a woman was pressed into
service in this matter. A woman could
pick up a little girl on the street and
carry her away easily where if a man
would attempt it the child would scream
and be frightened into Mysteries. So I
think this accounts for the appearan G
of the woman in the case. I can say,
however, that the police are looking fer
no particular woman at this time
KANSAS CITY, Mo, Dec. 29-McGee,
alias Burns, had an accomplice in the
abduction, in 1891, of Banker BeaIs' son,
a woman who passed as his wife.
She, as well as MCGEE, served five years
for the crime. The real leader of the
gang. known as Ralston, claimed to
be Denver detective. Ralston secured
the 5000 ransom offered for the return
of the child and was never apprehended.

Theory is that If the stomach is empty
