THIRD CLAUSE IS PUZZLING
DIPLOMATS STILL UNCERTAIN As
TO ANGLO GERM1N ALLIANCE.
That Some of the Powers Have Not Yet
Accepted the Principles of the Agrees
manufacturing to Russia Her Attf-
tude Considered ImpOr tant.
tude Considered Important.

| Washington, Oct. 26.-In diplomatic
nificance in the fact that France, Rus
STA and Japan, as we'll as the United
States, have not yet accepted the invi-
tation to accept the principles of the
Anglo German alliance. 1t is under
stood that this non-action of the pow
ers is not due to any concerted move
ment among them, although each ap-
pears to be halting on the third clause.
A diplomatic official said to-day that
on mature consideration of this third
clause it was seen to involve two con-
structions; first that If any power took
territory in China, as a result of the
present trouble, then Germany and
Great Britain also would take territory;
or, second that if any country took ter
ritory in China German and Great
Britain would seek to prevent this ac-
tion or otherwise Jointly act against
the country seeking to extend its do
minions. Either construction it was
pointed out, was such that the powers
not party to the agreement could not
expect to bind themselves to its ac-
ceptance.
Under these circumstance it was said
that the powers would seek to learn
Russia's views on the third clause, as
Russian approval undoubtedly would
remove the idea that there is
any possible menace intended. But
1t is recognized among diplomatic Off
cials that it would be extremely difficult
to secure an expression from Russia on
this point as an unfavorab BILE rejoinder,
which she might be expected to give
would amount to a declaration that she |
had some territorial designs on Man |
churia and refusal to answer would be |
open to such construction.
The impression is growing among the |
of these powers that |
the present non-action will continue for |
some time and that the agreement will |
be confined o Great Britain and Ger
many at least until there Is a fuller un-
OF the third clause than
either of these governments has given
thus far.

Pomfret, Oct. 26-John Addison Por-
ter, former secretary to President Nc
Kinley, was operated upon for cancer
at his home in this place two days
ago.
For months he has been in critical
condition due to the fnroads of the
cancer.
Although the operation was success
full in so far as it was possible to make
it so, it is believed that Mr. Porter
cannot survive any great length of
time.
1t will be recalled that when he re-
signed as secretary to the president
it was announced that he was in poor
health, but the nature of his trouble
was not known.

SUICIDE OF w HSIEN.
Said to Have Killed Himself by Swai-
lowing Gold Leaf


Washington, October 26.-The Chinese
minister has received a dispatch stat
ing that Kang VI, member Of the
cabinet with Yung Lu, and one of the
intense anti-foreign leaders. whose
punishment was demanded by the
powers, died Of illness on the 18th in
slant; also that Yu Hsien, the late gov
ernor of Shansi, who is said to have
been responsible for the death Of many
missionaries, has committed suicide by
swallowing gold leaf. Minister Wu re-
CARDS this act as the result of the dis
favor which the high officials have re-
ceived from the throne.
The death of Kang VI is an import
ant event. as he Is one of the ringlead-
ers whose punishment was demanded
by the powers. He held the position of
assistant grand secretary and president
of the civil board and was also one
of the six Chinese statesmen making
up the privy council or cabinet, which
is the body nearest the throne Fol-
lowing the demands Of the powers for
his punishment, an edict was issued
handing him over to the board Of CEN
sors to consult and decide upon a pen
atty for his misdoing, The same edict
punished Prince Tuan, but it was
thought that the Tuan influence would
secure leniency for Kang vi and 9TH
ers. To-day's dispatch shows, however,
that kang VI himself recognized that
there was no hope of imperial favor.
Although the dispatch of Minister Wu
says only that Kang vi died" on the
18th instant, it is thought that this
death" was the natural result of the
disgrace which has overtaken the anti
foreign and Boxer element.
Governor Yu's method of suicide by
swallowing gold leaf, is unique in
China. 1t is means by which high
take their life, the gold
leaf being representative of their high
station.

FILIPINO AGENT At HARVARD
SENIOR LOPEZ SPEAKS FOR HIS

Again Declares He is Not Here to Fnter-

mission Misled by Imperfect Spanish
observation-disclosures Not Divided
Into Eighty-four Tribes-A Homo
genOus PeOple.

|
Harvard, Mass, Oct. 26.-In the
Warner course of lectures given in this
town the lecturer tonight was Senor
Sixto Lopez the Filipino, who Is visit
| ing in Boston In the interest Of his fell
low countrymen.
1T may be we'll for me to state at
once that have not come to this coun-
try to interfere in party politics. I am
working for the Independence Of my
country. To that end 1 should like to
say q word about the people of the Phil
ippines. 1t has been erroneously stat
ed that we are divided into eighty-four
tribes and that these tribes are at en-
nifty with each other"
Senor Lopez then proceeded to de-
scribe the racial complexion of the Fill
pinos, saying that the Schurman COM
mission in compiling its list of eighty
four tribes was mised by imperfect
Spanish records. He told of the ori-
gin of the Nagritos, Alongotes, the Mo-
ros of Mindanao and the Sulus, their
religious rites and moral code. Con-
tinuing he said: 1.-THE remaining mil
lions of F'ilipinos constitute more than
fifteen-twentieths of the entire popula-
ton of the archipelago and are divided
into provincial districts. All Of these
provincial people are of one race, and
Christians, practising the morals and
arts of civilization.
"The difference between the dialects
of the several provinces would be no
real difficulty in the way of self-govern-
ment. Other countries do not find that
a difference in language forms diff
Guilty to self government
"Enmity is cutie unknown among
our people. When our government was
first established emissaries came from
almost all the provinces and islands,
declaring their support on behalf of
those from whom they came. Even the
Moros of Mindanao and the Igorrotes
Of North Luzon, who had never been
subdued by Spain, acclaimed Aguinal-
do and were prepared to recognize his
government. AS a matter of fact with
the exception Of a few uncivilized tribes
N central Mindanao and the semi-civ-
lized Igorrotes and Ingritos of Luzon,
the Filipinos are a homogeneous people
belonging to one race. They are oppos-
I'd not solely. to American, but to any
foreign rule, and they are united in
he desire for independence and for
he purpose OF maintaining a stable, in
dependent government"

platform there was a minute of delay |
and number of women insisted on |
shaking hands with the governor. The

away to Fifth avenue with the escort
beside the carriages. The crowd kept |
up the cheering until the party was out
of view. The route was straight down
the avenue to the hotel. The governor
was cheered all along the line and at
the Fifth Avenue hotel the scenes about
the station were repeated.

and breadth was one glimmering gar

of tiny incandescent lights, and brill

and his party from the hotel was the
signal for the most brilliant display of
he evening, except the pictures Of Nc
kinIey and Roosevelt in outlines of fire,
