graphing objects solely by the light
from the planet Venus. BY this is not
meant photographing the planet itself,
which has been done many times. The
experiments were conducted within the
dome of the observatory, so that all
outside light was excluded except that
which came from Venus through the
open shutter of the dome, The time
was the darkest hour Of the night after
the planet had risen and before the ap-
proach of dawn. The action of the
light from Venus was much stronger
than anticipated, the Photographic
plates being remarkably clear, intense

SCHOOL BoYcoTTED.
Nett Lake Indians Refuse to Send
Their Children to the $4,000
Building Erected for Them.

Duluth, Mimi, Oct. 25.-The gov
eminent has built a $4,000 school
for the Nett Lake indians, but the
latter refuse to allow their cAildren
to attend it because it was not built
on their reservation. Maj. S. w. Camp
bell, the agent in charge of the Nett
Lakers returned Wednesday from a
visit to the band whom he tried to in
duce to withdraw their boycott, but
without success. hnere is no law
by which the Indians can be compell-
ed to send their children to school off
the reservation and the officials are
nonplussed.
The school is one of the best in ser
vice but is filled with children for
whom it was never intended. The
Nett Lake Indians are among the
widest of the Chippewa band, and
cling tenaciously to old customs and
traditions

has been a change in Miss. Barton's
condition for the worse. She is daily
growing weaker and alarming symp-

ANGLO-GERNAN NOTE.
Count de Quadt Asserts 1t Does Not
Menace the Powers.
He Says There Are No Additional
Features TO the Agreement Be
yOnd Those Transmitted to
the Various Governments.

Berlin, Oct. PA high official of
the German foreign Office asserted
Tuesday evening that Austria-Hun-
gary and Italy, have expressed their
adherence to the Anglo-German agree
ment, but that France, Russia and
the United States have not defined
their positions.
The press continues a lively dis
cussion of the agreement.
The Hamburg Correspondent, which
is often the mouthpiece of the for
eign office refers to the suspicion ex-
pressed in some foreign newspapers
that certain clauses in the agreement
are kept secret, and asserts that no
no secret clauses exist.
The Vossiche Zeitung referring to
the report that the United States be-
fore giving a final answer, wishes
Germany and Great Britain to explain
what they mean by clause three, that
is, whether if another power seizes
territory, they intended to recoup
themselves by anneXations and wheth-
er they intended to prevent seizure
by force, says: ''The answer to such
a question will probably be that Ger
many and Great Britain have not
reached decision on that point but
intend to decide only after a seizure
shall have occurred since the decis-
ion must depend upon the interest
involved"
Washington, Oct. 25.-In view of the
widespread comment that the Anglo
German alliance concerning China
was open to the possible construc-
ton of an implaced or indirect men,
ace or threat against other powers
interested in the Chinese question, the
attention of Count De Quadt, the Ger
man charge d. affaires, Wednesday
was called to this point. Count de
Quadt said that he was able to give
a categorical and very positive state
ment, on the highest authority that
the agreement involved no menace
whatever to any power concerned in
China.
He said this applied to all the pow
ers which had taken a hand in the
NlAlhCoC didlISs OOuuJ Q6 RudQI SIdt-
ed with equal positiveness that there
was no foundation for reports of fur
ther or additional features to the
agreement beyond those transmitted
to the various governments and made
public. He said that document COW
cred the entire transaction.
The response of the United States
TO the British-German agreement as
communicated by Count de Quadt, il
still held in allegiance.
1t is understood that the third ar
ticle, namely, that concerning the
compact between Great Britain and
Germany to take suitable measures
in their own interests, in the contin-
gency that other powers seize terri
tory in China. our government will
not concern itself at this stage. 1t is
not expected that our adherence to
The arrangement would be required
TO take the form of a formal sigma
ture or acceptance of the whole agree
ment. So it is probable that the ans
wer by the state department will not
be an unqualified acceptance of the
whole pact, but only will treat of
those portions of the agreement with
which we are directly concerned at
present
