REPLIES OF TH[ powers.
Answers to the Anglo German
Agreement on China.
REPLY OF CzAR RECEIVED.

sOhi5ed states, Russia and France Together
In Accepting the Clauses Relating to
Open Door and Territorial Integrity Of
Chinese Empire.
Washington, Nov. 2.-The alignment
OF the powers on the British German
agreement is now complete.
Aside from Italy and Austria whose
adherence the agreement was ex.
pected, OWL to their political rela.
tlons with Germany, Japan is the only
power giving unconditional assent to
the agreement. As the matter now
stands five of the powers are united
In all the terms of the agreement viz:
Great Britain, Germany, Italy, Austria
and Japan: three of the powers-.the
United States, Russia and France.
accept the clauses relating to the open
door and the territorial integrity Gf
China, but withhold action GU the
third clause relating to future proceed
ure In case any power seizes territory
Neither the state department. nor the
Russian embassy has received infor-
nation of Russia's answer, though the
Associated Press, in it's London dis
patches, announces that the reply has
been received at the British foreign
office on Oct. 80 and unreservedly ac-
cepted the first two clauses. In re-
gard to the third clause, Russia re-
ferred the two contracting parties to
the Russian circular of April %, say
ing that it would modify its attitude
according to circumstances.
The chief effect of the exchange has
been in bringing five of the powers to
an agreement respecting the "open
door" and the integrity of China, and
to consult among themselves as to the
course to be pursued if any other pow
er sought to take territory.
The negotiations, as now shaped, in
clude the United States, France and
Russia. AS to the United States there
is no possibility of an initiative in TAX
ing territory, SO that the terms of the
third clause would appeal to France
and Russia and would bring about con-
current action of the five powers in
case either of these sought to extend
their domains in China

Charles +. Jones; the arrest of Patrick

have kept New York interested for
over month by what promises to be.
come the most celebrated of the. cele-
brated crimes in the courts of t.ais

The first incident which led up to

closed Wednesday that Valet Jones
had been taken to the district attor-
neE's office and the subsequent rumor
that he had made confession. Be
fore the public had time to learn
whether the report of confession
was true, came the more startling
news that during the night that Jones

rid of the witness to Patricks alleged
crime. His crime, according to the
confession of Jones, parts of which
the district attorneys office gave out.
was nothing less than the murder of
the millionaire by Patrick and the
purloining of valuable papers relating
to the estate. The taking off of Mr..
Rice, says Jones, was done by the in
ternaF administration OF some poison,
supposedly mercury, and the final ap-
plication of towel saturated with
some anaesthetic, presumably chloro-
form
That portion of the confession which
has to do with the last moments of the
old man is the following, given out
by the authorities, as coming from
Jones, the scene taking place in the
apartments of the millionaire, and he
was lying sick in bed:

Please go away.

here, Mr.. Rice, that will cure your

HE closed the door behind me. II
stood in the hall for few minutes
and heard Mr.. Rice laugh. / thought
this was queer. so l pushed open the
door. l saw Mr.. Rice lying on his
back in bed. The towel that l had
given Patrick was wrapped around the
sponge in cone shape. This cone
was lying directly over Mr.. Rice's eyes
and nose. Patrick was pressing it'll
down with his right hand. Patrick did
not see me, and, of course, Mr.. Rice
could not. After seeing what had

Rice grew very sick. Patrick said to
me: Go get DOCTOR I went for
one. He pronounced Mr.. Rice dead,
Attorney Patrick denies having given
Jones the oenknife, and denies the
statements N the confession. Jones,
after his suicidal attempt. was taken
to Bellevue hospital, physicians being
just in time to save him from death
from loss of blood.
