art largely in the celebration of distinguished

BRITAIN AND GERMANY ARE IN
AGREEMENT.
1t is Expected That All the Other
Powers will Fall in Line-The Text of
the Agreement.

| LONDON, October 20.-Intense inter-
est was aroused today by the official an
lnouncement that Great Britain and
Germany had entered into an agree
! ment to maintain the territorial inte-
lgrity of China. While this savors of
] independent action and will doubtless
! be adhered to despite the protest of any
other power, it is not looked upon here
as forming an obstacle to the progress
of negotiations upon the basis laid down
in the last French note, or indeed, up
on any propositions, which will not in
fringe upon the essential principles of
the Anglo-German compact.
The terms of this agreement, which
was arrived at October 10th, between
Lord Salisbury and Count Won HAITI
field, German Emzassador to England,
are officially given out as follows:
Firstly, it is a matter of joint per-
manent international interest that the
ports on the rivers and littoral 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 terri
| tory as far as they can exercise influ-
ence.
Secondly, both governments agree
| that they will not on their part make
! use of the present complication to OBJ
| tain for themselves any territorial ad-
vantage in Chinese domain and will di-
| rect their policy toward maintaining
undiminished the territorial conditions
of the Chinese government.
| Thirdly, in case of another power
making use of the complications in Chi
ma in order to obtain under any form
whatever such territorial advantages
the two contracting parties reserve to
themselves the right to come to a pre-
/ liminary understanding regarding the
eventual step to be taken for the pro-
| lection of their own interests in China.
"Fourthly, the two governments will
communicate this agreement to the 9TH
/ er powers interested, especially Aus
| tra- Hungary, France, Italy, Japan,
Russia and the United States and in
vite them to accept the principles re-
corded in it."

THE PASSING OF A NOTABLE
STATESMAN.
Was One of the Great Figures in
American Political History-In Public
Life for Forty-four Years.

WASHINGTON October 22.-John
Sherman, former Representative in the
House, for a long term a member of the
Senate and twice holding Cabinet posi-
| tions, died at his residence in this city
at 6:45 o'clock this morning in the sew
| enty-eight year of his age. His death
| had been expected for some days and
/ loving friends gave him their unremit-
ting care and attention to the end.
The immediate cause of death was de-
scribed as brain exhaustion, incident to
extreme weakness due to old age and to
several attacks of sickness from which
he had suffered for the past year and a
half. Since Sunday afternoon Mr.. Sher-
man had been most of the time uncon-
scious, rallying partially at intervals
when slight nourishment was given
him. Yesterday afternoon evidences of
the approaching end were manifest and
he failed to regain consciousness after
o'clock, passing away peacefully Just
after dawn broke. About 1 o'clock this
morning he rallied somewhat from the
stupor and turned himself over in bed
but after that he gradually sank until
the end came.
The death of John Sherman removes
one of the conspicuous statesmen of
American history. 1t is the passing not
only of dominant figure, but the
occulatiOn of a shining name. That

PROF. MAxELL's SUCCESSOR.
Arrival of r. c. Blouin from Louisiana
Today

X. E. Blouin who has been appointed
to succeed Prof. Maxwell as chief of
the Planters Association Experimental
station arrived this morning on the
Peking. The new chief is a native of
Louisiana where he has been engaged
since 1891 with the government expert
mental stations. He served at the Bat
on Rouge station from 1891 unil 1896 and
since then has been in charge of the
station at Audubon Park, near New
Orleans.
I'VE have three experimental stations
in Louisiana" said Mr. Blouin this
morning, "and the work of that at Au-
dubon Park is devoted principally to
the sugar industry. The agricultural
conditions in Louisiana and the Hawai-
ian Islands are very different, this be-
ing especially so in the case of sugar
cane. There, we have a crop a year but
the average production is a little over
a ton and a half an acre while here the
crop requires from IS months to two
years and the production is much
heavier than that in Louisiana.
Prof. Stubs the head of the expert
mental stations in Louisiana arrived
home from his trip here September 10,
but he was so busy that l did not have
much of an opportunity to talk with
him. He did not however study the SUI
gar industry here closely and whatever
his Investigations might have been,
/ they were conducted for his personal
information.
There is nothing new that I can say
| Regarding the conduct of the station
here except that I shall continue the
same lines begun by Prof Maxwell" 3"

IT COMES UNDER vANDERBILT's
CONTROL.
Several New Steamers Will me Added
and it will be a Link in 6 Word
Route.

NEW YORK, October 29.-The Times
says: The control of the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company changes. E. H.
Hartman succeeds Coils p. Hunting
ton. Hartman and his colleagues have
taken over a majority of the Pacific
Mail csrital stock. Identified with Har-
riman in the big deal, one of interna-
tional significance, is w. K. Wander
bit.
The sequel soon to follow will have
Ifar-reaching consequences. Under
Huntington's direction the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company was a tender to
his Southern Pacific interests, it's oper-
alton being subordinate to Huntington s
great railway system. In it's new con-
troll the company will have a scope
never hitherto contemplated. The ac-
QUESTION of the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company makes possible the immediate
accomplishment of the Nanderbilts'
cherished plan of continuing a transpor-
tation system, virtually under one man
agement, from the Atlantic through to
the Pacific Coast and thence direct to
the Far East The New York Central
system, linked to the Union Pacific by
the Chicago and Northwestern, with ma
tural auXiliaries already possessed, will
now connect with the Pacific Mail
steamships for continuous transporta-
tion service to China and Japan. The
Philippine trade is also OF course TO
be incidentally commanded.
James ]. Hill of the Great Northern
Railway is also interested in Harri-
mans project. Hill and Hartman have
come into close affiliation in the Chica-
go and Alton and in the Baltimore and
| Ohio reorganization undertakings, and
Hartman is credited with giving more
heed to Hills practical railway coun-
sci than to that of any other transpor-
tation authority of the country.
Under Harriman's control a control
| in which w. X. Vanderbilt directly
participates, the Pacific Mail Steamship
| Company's affairs will be revolutions
lied. More steamships. not one or two,
but many, will be forthwith added to
the company's service. Most of them
will be for the Asiatic trade.
| The acquisition of control of the Paci-
fic Mail Steamship Company rounds
out the details in one of Vanderbilt S
chief ambitions. Now freight can be
taken from New York across the conti-
nent by rail without breaking bulk and
sent forward by steamship to China and
Japan all under bill of lading repre-
senting one centralized transportation
interest. The Pacific Mail Steamshlp
| line becomes thus practically mere
"diyision" in the Vanderbilt system
| from New York to Asia. 1t is, there
fore, not improbable that before long
there will be a revival of former reports
of a consolidation or what in substance
may be the same between railway sys-
| TENS from New York to California.
Some important changes in the per-
sonnel of the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company are likely to be soon announ-
