germany AND ENGLAND
UNITE TO SAVE China.
AN AGREEMENT TO MAINTAIN THE
INTEGRITY OF THE
EMPIRE.
POWERS LIKELY TO ASSENT.
UNDERSTANDING REACHED By SAL
IsBERRY AND HATZFELDT,
OCTOBER 10.

LONDON, October 20.-Germany and
England have formed an alliance to
maintain territorial integrity OF China
and to KEEP ports open. The terms of
this agreement, which was arrived at
October 16, between Lord Salisbury and
Count Won Hatzfeldt. German ambas-
sador to England, are officially given
out as follows:
THE German government and her
British majesty's government being de-
sfrous to maintain their interests in
China and their right under the exist
ing treaties, have agreed to observe the
policy in China:
"F1rstly-It is a matter OF joint per-
manent International interest that the
ports on the rivers and littoral OF China
should remain free and open TO trade
and to every other legitimate form OF
economic activity for the peoples OF
all countries without distinction; and
the two governments on their part TO
uphold the same for all Chinese terri
tory as far as they can exercise influ-
ence.
"Secondly-Both governments agree
that they will not on their part make
use OF the present complication TO OBJ
tain for themselves any territorial ad-
vantage in Chinese dominion, and will
direct their policy toward maintaining
undlminished territorial condition OF
the Chinese empire.
"Thirdly-ln case OF another power
making use of the complication in
China in order to obtain under any
form whatever, such territorial advan-
tages. the two contracting parties re-
serve to themselves the right to come
to a preliminary understanding re-
garding the eventual step to be taken
Tor the protection of their own inter-
ests in China.
"Fourthly-The two governments will
communicate this agreement to the
other powers interested especially Aus
tria-Hungary, France, italy, Japan,
Russia and the United States, and in
vite them to accept the principles re-
corded in it,"
1t is believed that all the other inter
ested powers will assent to this pro-
gramme, as they all have disclaimed
any designs Of Chinese territory.
WASHINGTON, October 20.-The
State Department here has not yet been
advised officially of the alliance. While
the move gives general satisfaction here
the officials say that it probably is a
misnomer to call it an alliance.
The United States will promptly ad-
here to the principles contained in this
agreement, as it is directly in the line
Of our aspirations.
The British-German alliance attract
ed much interest in diplomatic quart
ers and was the chief subject OF discus
sion at the various embassies and lega-
tions. The Chinese minister read the
terms of the alliance with the keenest
interest and then said:
This is a most important movement,
and l hope it will lead to a complete
settlement. The agreement is exactly
in line with the American position laid
down in Secretary Hays note of July
3rd to which all of the governments
gave their adherence"

Marion county people. irrespective OF

Politically the county is close and
this element controls the result. BY
influential citizens the judge was re-

Temperance Meeting.

The mass meeting held in the
Christian church on Sunday after
noon was largely attended and many
new ideas were advanced on the
question. DIR. w. l.. Pearson pre-
sided and the following program was
carried out:
Scripture reading Rev. A. DuBoc
Prayer-Rev. j. b. Midnight.
Address 1.-THE Present Duty of
citizenship" by Rev. Jay Somer-
vile.
Address-"Has the Saloon any
Rights?" by Rev. Scott w. Smith.
Prayer-Rev. A.sCato Kaye.
The two principal addresses, one
by Rev. Jay w. Sumerville, and one
by Rev. Scott w. Smith, were able
presentations of their side of the
cause, and were heartily approved by
those in attendance. In his opinion
as to the rights of saloons, Rev.
Smith quoted several supreme court
decisions and concluded that "the
saloon-keeper asa man has as many
rights as any other man, but as q
saloon-keeper he has no rights. The
state may grant him privileges, but
not rights. silt may revoke his priv
ileges without any violation of his
rights"

HIS CAREER ENDS.
Death ut New Haven, Conn, OF Hon.
f. j. Phelps, Ex-Minister
to England.

New Haven, Conn, March 1O.--Hon.
E. J. Phelps, former minister to Eng
land, died at his home in this city late
Friday afternoon, after an illness OF
about two months. The end was
peaceful, and for several hours be.
fore he passed away he was uncon.
scious. There were present at the
bedside, the wife and son, Charles
Phelps, of Boston, and daughter, Mrs.
Horatio LOOMS, of New York, and
his physician. Though Mr.. Phelps re.
covered from the pneumonia attack,
he was so weakened that he was un.
able to regain vitality. 1t had been
hoped that he might recover until a
few days ago, when it was apparent
that his strength had so failed that
it was but matter of hours when
death would come. The funeral serv.
ices will be held from Battell chap.
ell, Sunday, at three p. m. The re.
mains win be taken to Burlington,

GAGE OUTLINES HIS PLANS.
How the Secretary of Treasury VIII
Carry Into Eject the New
Financial Bill.

Washington, March 10.-At the cab
met meeting Friday Secretary Gage
outlined his plan for carrying into eff
feet the new finance bill, which, it
is expected, will pass the house next
Tuesday and be approved by the pres
ident soon thereafter. The secretary
explained that in all probability from
35 to As per cent. of the outstanding
bonds, which may be refunded I'M
der the new law, will be presented for
exchange within a comparatively short
time This would involve cash pay
ments as premiums to the holders of
old bonds amounting to from $30,0O0,-
600 to $35,0oO.0oo.
A question which has occupied the
attention of the secretary of late is
whether this amount should be taken
from the funds now in the treasury,
or from the government deposits with
depository banks, or whether a part
should be taken from the treasury
and part from the banks.
Attention was called to the fact
that even if considerable sums were
drawn from depository banks in
these settlements, it would only
amount to transfer from one bank
to another of from the credit of the
government to the credit of the party
surrendering the bonds in the same
bank. Therefore, the total amount of
money held by the banks would not
be materially changed. In the de-
termination of this question much will
depend upon the rapidity with which
old bonds are presented for exchange
and also upon whether the ordinary
treasury receipts keep up to their
present mark.
The secretary's purpose, as stated
to the cabinet, is to create as little
financial disturbance as possible, in
the settlement of premium accounts.
If the treasury receipts continue
large, and the applications for ex-
change of old bonds for new are not
excessively heavy at the outset, it is
altogether probable that a consider
able share of the premiums will be
taken from the treasury, but should
there be a rush for the exchange of
bonds it is quite likely that the
banks would be called upon to share
in the payments. On the other hand
the secretary does not propose that
the present available cash balance in
the treasury, which now amounts to
about $300O00,O 900, including the $780,
100000 gold reserve, shall be largely
encroached upon.
The question, therefore, whether
the cash to be paid as premiums shall
come from the treasury, the deposit
DRY banks, or both, depends for it's
solution largely upon conditions which
cannot now be foretold. The new
bonds will be dated April l and the
amount of premium to be paid on
the old bonds will be calculated from
that date, the rate in all cases being
the same, which, according to the
terms of the new act is such as shall
yield return of "a per cent. per an
mum. These details were fully eX-
planned to the cabinet, and the plans
and purposes of the secretary met
with general approval.

London, March 10.-The ameer of

possibility of Russia taking advantage
of the Transvaal war to advance
through Afghanistan on India, his

Russia feared Afghanistan, as war with

troops enough to combat such a rising
Her hold on the Mussulman countries

her. and with ten times her power Russia
could not fight Afghanistan and India sue
cessfully.
''The Afghans prefer death to slavery
and their women and children are being
taken by the Russians"
After saying he is willing to send
numerous troops to help Great Brit
ain in the Transvaal, but adding that
the Afghans are unaccustomed to the
sea, the ameer adds:
But England's troubles are always my
troubles, her strength is my strength and
her weakness is my weakness. England
must remember that / am always ready
to fight for her on land, here or in India"
