integrity Of China, with the answer OF
the United States government sent in due
place TO each of the principals to the
agreement
Mr. Hay To Lord Pauncefote:
Department OF State,
Washing ton. Oct. 20, 1900
EXcellency--I have the honor TO ac-
knowledge the receipt OF your note OF the
25d OF October, enclosing the text of an
agreement between Great Britain and
Germany rela ting to affairs in China
which was signed In London on the 10th
inst. by the Marquis OF Salisbury and the
German ambassador on behalf OF their
respective governments and inviting tho
acceptance by the United States of prin-
ciples recorded in that agreement. These
principles are:
lit IL a matter OF joint and perma-
nent 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 nationals of all countries
without distinction. and the two govern
ments agree on their part TO uphold ths
same for Chinese territory so far as they
can exercise influence.
II-"Her Britannia Majesty's govern
ment and the imperial German govern
ment will not on their part make use Of
themselves any territorial advantages In
Chinese don1inions and will direct their
policy toward maintaining undiminishe6
the territorial condition OF the Chinese
empire"
The United States have heretofore made
known their adoption of both these prin-
ciples. During the last year this govern
ment invited the powers interested IN
China To join I'm an expression of views
and purposes in the direction OF impcri-
al trade with that country and received
satisfactory assurances to that effect
from all OF them.
When the recent troubles were at their
height, this government, on the I'd OF
July, once more made an announcement or
its policy regarding impartial trade and
the integrity of the Chinese empire, and
had the qualification OF learning that all
the powers held similar views. And since
that time the most gratifying harmony
has existed among all the nations con-
cerned as 10 the ends to be pursued. and
there has been little divergence of opin-
ion as TO the details of the course to be
followed.
IL is therefore with much satisfaction
that the president directs me 10 inform
you OF the full sympathy of this govern
ment with those of her Britannia Msjes-
" and the German emperor In the prin-
ciples set forth in the clauses of the
agreement above cited.
The third clause OF the agreement pro-
vides:
I'LL Tn case of another power making
use Of the complication in China. In order
To obtain under any form whatever. such
territorial advances, the Two contract
ing parties reserve 10 themselves 10 come
TO a preliminary understanding as 10 the
eventual steps To be taken for the pro-
lection OF their own interests In China.'
As this clause refers TO a recinrocal ar
rangenent between the two high con-
tracting powers. the government OF the
United States does not regard itself as
called upon to express mn opinion in re-
spect TO n.

A tiny mouse that seems to have it's

up quarters in a bulk window on Chest

ordinary circumstances the presence
of the little intruder would not be

in catching the flies that are unwise
enough to come within reach. Every
evening after the store has been closed
and the clerks have gone home a crowd
gathers on the pavement outside and
watches the little fellow capture the

The Montana Statesman Got Mixed
Up In q story Intended to
Hurt David b. Hill.

Myron Haskins, of Philadelphia, has
been relating a few "reminiscences of
past national conventions, and in that
connection was reminded of funny
anecdote in which Martin Maginnis,
former delegate in congress from
Montana, was concerned. Just prior
to the democratic convention of 1888,
which nominated Cleveland and Thur
man, David B. Hill, then governor of
New York, was supposed to have pres
idential aspirations. In order to
squelch them Hills enemies started q
story to the effect that he had been
prime mover in a scheme to extract
money for campaign purposes from
the laborers on the new aqueduct by
means of rattle for pig, which was
held at the home of a Widow Magin-

which had an obscure position,
climbed up on his chair and secured
recognition. Collins did not know
him personally, and naturally asked
him to state his name. "Maginnis"
was the answer, followed by deaf
ening roar. It was too pat, and
though he struggled manfully, Martin
Maginnis was unable to make that
speech. His voice was drowned by
inquiries as to what had become Of
the pig.
