Supposed She Intends to Disappear
For Time.
In Order to Escape Re-
spOnsibility.
Germany Not Satisfied With
List Of Culpables.

Berlin, October 12.-The proposal Of the
Russian government that in case Of pro-
tracted divergence Of views regarding
equitable indemnities this matter might
be commended to the consideration OF the
international court Of arbitration at The
Hague, is regarded as the most import
ant recent development in the Chinese
situation. Nothing was known publicly
IN Europe concerning it prior to the pub
Hcation Of President McKlnley's answer
to the note Of n. Del Casss. Most Of the
papers comment unsympatheticaIIy upon
the suggestion.
Germany looks upon the report Of the
death Of the Empress Dowager as a new
Chinese intrigue. 1t is supposed that
she intends to disappear temporarily in
order to escape responsibility for the
misdeeds Of high officials and. perhaps,
to prepare another anti-foreign move
ment
A high official of the foreign Office
asserted today that a telegram had been
sent to the Chinese government demand
ing direct information as to whether the
Empress DOWager is dead. No reply has
been received and the foreign Office
draws the conclusion that the Chinese
government IS not kept informed as to
the plans Of Tsze Hsi An,
The German foreign office is not salts
fed with the list Of ouIpabIes supplied by
the Chinese government.
'Ihe list is nOtOriOusly Incomplete,
said an influential official today, 'as 1t
Onits at least a score OF prominent per-
sons who were active leaders in the
N Massacre of fOreig gners.
''Ihis is borne out by all the legations
and by the consular reports from China.
1t is borne out by Mr.. Conger's state
ment
Germany, however, is not disposed to
insist upon the punishment of sll the
guilty. What she demands is that an
example be made Of persons Of high rank
in order to show the Chinese, strikingly
and cOnYincingly that the powers have
enforced a severe expiatiOn for misdeeds
and to teach a wholesome and lasting
Iesson-the lesson that the lives and
property Of foreigners must be safe in
China

The Tournament.

The boys are making strenuous eff
forts to make the tournament a great
success. Special trains will come in
from Manning and Atlantic, bringing
men from all those places to enter the
contest: Manning has accepted the
invitation and her team is in constant
training Extra expects to come up
with good team and a strong delega-
ton and her band, which is the only
one in the county. Atlantic has ac-
cepted and is coming with her band
and team and big delegation. 1t
will be day that will will pay every
farmer and merchant to quit work and
go. day of rest and recreation. Our
volunteer fire departments are the safe
guards of the town. They not only
protect property in town, but the
country as we'll. To save property in
town is to help keep down expenses,
and the expenses of a town affect the
whole community. A man cannot.
afford to invest money where it is not
safe, and these tournaments help to
keep up enthusiasm for the protection
of property. Those who attend how
ever and are lovers of sport will find
this day full of enjoyment. The grand
street parade will begin at O'clock if
possible, so as to give time for dinner
afterwards, and before the racing be-
gins. Hose teams, societies, business
houses, in fact everything is to be rep
resented. Don't miss the parade.

you will enjoy. The train leaves Sun
day morning at $3.50, and returning
leaves Atlantic at 1880. Tickets for
the round trip cost $1.00.
