THE CHINESE QUESTION.
Germany Yields ''In the Inter
ests of Peace"
MINOR POINTS UNSETTLED.
There Still Remain a Few Matters of
Lesser Importance to be Agreed
Upon Before the Allies Peace Terms
are Submitted 10 the Chinese.

Berlin, Dec. S.-With reference to
the news from London that an agree
ment had been reached at Pekin.
high official of the German foreign
office, who is empowered to speak in
the name of Count Won Buelow, i'm
perial chancellor, said last evening:
The report is correct, but there
are still some minor points unsettled.
1t was clear from the first that the
note formulated by the foreign en-
voys in Pekin would not be accepted.
inasmuch as the United States dis
avowed Mr.. Conger instantly and
Russia raised some formal objections.
Now that the ENJOYS are agreed and
the note is acceptable to the United
States there should be no eXultation
as if the other powers had bowed
to the will of one nation. All were
free to take whatever course they
chose, and they chose in the interest
of peace and harmony.
"1'hey altered the note to meet
the views of the United States. 1t
is hoped that the fact that Germant
has gone so far in complying with
the wishes of the United States will
meet with recognition in America -
Referring to the question of pun
ishments, the official in question
pointed out that Germany still in
sists upon the "severest admissible
punishments," as the note puts it.
1--WE shall now see" he said. "Wheth-
er the Chinese authorities -ill meet
this requirement. Germany is not
without fear that the Chinese gov
ernment will still offer resistance"

VANDERBILT rs VEAL TIL.
Young Alfred VIII Have n Little Less
than SlO,OOO.OOO.

New York, Dee. s.-The World says
that after long delay the heirs of
the late Cornelius Vanderbilt have
agreed to the appraisement of the
estate as made by q. ID. Hasbrouck,
representing the state controller.
This appraisement is 52,5O0,00O for
the real estate. The figures insisted
on by the heirs were $40, ,S26,s56 but
Mr.. Hasbrouck stood firm and has
at last gained his point.
In the meantime there was great
speculation as to what the residuary
estate would be. According to the
terms of the will all that remained
after the various requests had been
divided was to go to Alfred Wander
bilt. Young Vanderbilt, now the
head of the house, had not been able
to tell just how much he was worth.
The estimate fixed by Senator
Depew just after the will was filed
for probate was that the estate of
his old associate would be valued at
$70,OOO,000. This would have given
to the residuary legatee $34,500,000.
The estimate of Senator Depew was
never very far off, although it was
not generally accepted at the time.
Under the agreement decided on
yesterday Alfred will get $2,500,000
Iore than Senator Depew gave him,
and his entire fortune will amount
to S44 100000. But out of this re-
siduary estate Alfred has agreed to
give to Cornelius $6,OO0,00O, in order
to prevent a law suit threatened be-
cause the eldest brother was cut off
with only 81 800, 900.

Washington, Dec S.-Representa-
tive Tayler, of Ohio, who was identi-
fed with the movement to exclude
Brigham II. Roberts, of Utah, from
a seat in congress, has introduced a
measure intended to bring about fed
eral prohibition of polygamy. IT
proposes a constitutional amendment
for uniform laws on marriage and
divorce. Mr.. Taylor says, however
that his aim goes considerably be-
yond mere uniformity of such laws
and is expressly designed to reach
polygamy and put an end to it.

our working world very large. Many OF
are hard workers. Our laboring classes
are found in herds and hordes in the
"hives of industry" What is all this work
for? In most cases it is for daily bread,
in many for maintenance of others. Great
numbers also work to acquire wealth.
Some for great commercial prominence.
Some to preserve intact a splendid inheri-
tance. Necessity, generosity and ambition
are the inspiration of all classes of indus

Maintaining health is the most vital

Nervura blood and nerve remedy, as a
strengthener of the constitutional and
vital powers, is beyond all question. This
great remedy enters into partnership
with Nature and helps human beings do
their work without giving up to prema-
ture decay. The strain of work is on the
minds of some, on the bodies of others,
but the nourishing of either, or both, is
in the nerves and blood. Nervura acts
directly on the fountains of health and e
its strengthening power is wonderful.
