KEEP CHINA INTACT.
Great Britain and Germany Form
an Alliance.

London. Oct. %. - Germany n
England have formed an alliance 10
maintain territorial integrity OF CHINA
and to keep ports open. The terms OF
this agreement, which was arrived at
on oct. I6 between Lord Salisbury and
Count Won Hatzfeldt, German amoas-
sador to England. are officially gwen
out as follows:
THE German government and hef
British majesty's government, being
DESTROYS to maintain their interests In
China and their rights under existing
treaties, have agreed to observe the
following principles regarding a mu-
tual policy in China:
"First-It is a matter OF joint per-
manent international interest that the
ports On the rivers and littoral China
should remain free and open to trade.
and TO every other legitimate form OF
economic activity for the people OF all
countries, without distinction; and the
two governments agree on their part
TO uphold h same for all Chinese ter
ritcfy, as far as they can exercise in
auence.
"Second - Both governments agree
that they viii not on their part make
use OF h present complication to OBJ
tain for themselves any territorial adj
vaE..ge in Chinese dominion, and will
direct their policy toward maintaining
undiminished the territorial condition
of the Chinese empire.
Third I'm case of another power
making use of h complications In
China in order TO obtain under any
form whatever such territorial ad-
yantages. the two contracting parties
reserve to themselves the right to
come TO a preliminary understanding
regarding the eventual step to be
taken for the protection Of their own
interests in China.
'Fourth-The W. governments will
communicate this agreement to the
other governments intel ested, espe-
cially Austria Hungary, France, Italy,
Japan, Russia n the United States,
and invite them to accept the princi-
pies recorded in it,"
This announcement signifies the
most important diplomatic event in
almost a generation. 1t implies far
more than its application TO the Far
Eastern problem. 1t means nothing
1858 shai thS SduJuStIucIl VI the Ddl~
ance of power in Europe and the
world. 1t is a virtual thunderbolt to
France and Russia. 1t has been be-
lieved in Paris and st. Petersburg that
Germany secretly desired to use a spe-
cia grievance, based on the murder
Of Baron Won Ketteler. to exact terri
torial indemnity from China, and both
Russia and France were not unwilling
to see this ambition gratified, chiefly
because it would offend Great Britain.
This note not only dispels this illusion,
but proclaims an Anglo-German alli-
ance in Far Eastern affairs strictly
on the lines of British policy.
Meets Approval I'm Berlin.
Berlin, Oct. 23.-An inspired article
In the North German Gazette regards
the Anglo-Gcrman agreement as a
"reassuring sign for the peace of the
world" and says that Great Britain,
just as ermany does. expressly de-
nounces all idea of making use of the
complications In China for her spe-
cial advantages, and in economic aims
adheres to the principle of equal rights
for all.

Third MAJ Implicated I'm Shooting
Gov. GOebeI,


Georgetown, KY, Oct. 23.-"We, the
jury, find this defendant guilty and
fix his punishment at life imprison-
ment."
This verdict was returned by the
twelve men who were selected to try
Henry E. Youtsey, formerly Gov.
Taylor's stenographer, on the charge
of being a principal in the shooting
OF William Goebel. The vote was
unanimous that Youtsey was guilty.
Then the degree of punishment was
taken up. On this question the jury
was somewhat divided, but finally
agreed on the life sentence.
Henry Youtsey is the third man to
be found guilty of connection with the
shooting of Goebel. Caleb Powers,
tried for completely in the case, was
sentenced to life imprisonment, while
James Howard, tried on the charge of
being a principal in the shooting, was
sentenced to death. The defense filed
a motion for an arrest of Judgment,
and Judge Cantrill set 1t for hearins
on the second day of the February
term. Therefore Youtsey will not be
sentenced until mex year. Youtsey
was ordered removed to the Frank
fort jail.

The total number Of deserters from
the French army is, since Jan. /, far
more considerable than In former
years. 1t amounts to nearly 1900. The
colonial and foreign legions stand first
on the list, combined with escapes
from military penitentiaries. In the
regular army assertions are most ire
quent In the light Algerian infantry
and sharpshooters. The artillery regi-

French ministry Of war hints that in
many instances foreign agents have
clandestinely melted the deserters,
and that some Of these may be found
among the troops of Lord Roberts in
South Africa.

Hay-fever patients in Germany are
increasing in numbers, and the doc
tors are advising their afflicted patients
to try the island of Helgoland as a
refuge from their tormenting NAL
ady. There are islands on our coast
where a similar immunity, or at least
important relief, is secured. Even
there a l~and-breeze may work mis-
chief with the sufferers; but in gem

tongues of flame leaping skyward and
lighting the surrounding territory with
a dull glare hat extended for miles.
From the packing house the blaze,
aided by some boxcars, jumped across
the railroad sidetrack and attacked
the Northwestern Lime company's
plant. Its board walls and single
roof furnished an excellent vehicle
for the conduct of the blaze to the big
warehouse Of the Mccormick Har-
vester company. Assistant chief Ir-
vine, who had been directing the eff
forts of Engine Company No. 10, led
the men up to the south wall and
pointed out the spot where the fire
should be fought. The men had drawn
G line of hose up near the building
and were standing within a few feet
of the south wall. The fire was so hot

so that the assistant chief directed the
firemen to step further away. They
moved back fifty feet, still directing

had hold of the hose a short distance
away. Tie men had scarcely moved
back in response to the orders when
there came a dull explosion. The side
and back walls toppled and fell. Be
fore the firemen had an opportunity to
utter a cry or make an effort to save
themselves they were carried down by
tons of white-hot brick and mortar
