Peace Meeting Postponed.

Washington. Oct. 22.Nothing came
to the state department from Minister
Conger in regard to the proposed pre-
liminary meeting for the consideration
of peace negotiations asked for by Ii
Hung Chang and Prince Ching for
Oct. 20. The presumptions of the Off
Gals therefore are that the press dis
patches announcing that it had been
postponed is correct. This postpone
ment was due probably to the unreadi-
ness of the powers generally to begin
negotiations. the ministers in all like
lihood not having received their final
preliminary instructions from their
governments for their guidance.

defaulter to the extent of 100000.
The discovery of the defalcation,
which was made yesterday, created
the utmost excitement but the we'll
known stability of the First National
bank and u statement issued by the
bank had quieting effect This state
ment was as follows: 1.-THE note
teller. who has been in the employ of
the First National bank for many
years, is a defaulter to a.large amount.
His operations have continued for 4
considerable period and have been
skilfully concealed. The aggregate of
the false entries, amounting to $780,
600, has been charged off on the books
of the bank out of the reserve fund.
1t is expected that the shortage will
be materially reduced by substantial
sum, of which there is fair prospect
of recovery
Alvord had been with the bank for
20 years and was one of the most
trusted men in the institution. What
Alvord did with all the cash is mys-
terry as vet, except that, as usual in
such cases, it is said large amount
of it went in stock speculation. 1t has
been discovered that during the sum
mer Alvord visited Saratoga, where
he cut great figure, spending moneys

NEW CHINESE DEAL
GREAT BRITAIN AND GERMANY ENTER
INTO AN ALLIANCE.

London Papers Describe It as Victory
for British Diplomacy--Assures Open
Door and No Partition of China Euro
pean War Cloud Dissipated.
London, Oct 22.-All the morning pa
pers dilate on the high Importance of
the Anglo-German agreement. The
object of the compact is preservation
of the territorial and political entity
of the Chinese empire, and the main
tenance of free trade opportunities in
Chinese ports and Chinese rivers.
The Daily Telegraph, which de-
success scored by British diplomacy
since the Berlin treaty, says: "The
significant circumstances of it's publi
cation clearly suggests that it was init
lated by Lord Salisbury at the moment
when an ill-considered call was made
for his retirement from the foreign Of
fee"
Although, without such effusive
praise of Lord Salisbury's diplomacy,
most of the papers warmly approve
the agreement and recognize in nit
warning to other powers, especially to
Russia.
The Daily Graphic remarks: '"rhe
agreement is the outcome of Ger
many's isolation in China. She had
found herself committed to punitive
policy without the support of the
powers. 1t is another journey to
Canossa for the German jingoes."
The Daily Mail says: "The agree
ment almost amounts to an offensive
and defensive alliance. 1t will put an
end to the last hope of European in.
tervention in South Africa
The Standard, which is unstinted in
its praise of Lord Salisbury and Count
Won Buelow, has this to say: "The
agreement should be endorsed with
alacrity by the United States govern
ment, which has constituted itself an
advocate of the open door and is most
anxious to avoid any prolonged en-
tanglement in the far east
