Germany Aroused.

Berlin, June 25.-The Chinese troubles
have almost completely swept the South
African war from public attention. Even
the latest Pretoria news went uncom-
mented upon except by the military.
About Chinese events the foreign office
uses great reticence, and above all studi-
ously avoids admitting that the present
events mean an actual and probably bit
ter and protracted war with China. This
may be partly owing to the attacks OF
the radical and socialist press, which
maintains that the present rising Of Chi
nese against the foreign devils is di-
rectly or indirectly due to the German
seizure of Kiau Chau. In this the papers
are strengthened by the public utterances
of the German missionary bishop of Shan
Tung, Won Anzeer, who recently described
the disastrous effect upon missionary work
of the Kiau Chau seizure.

All England Is worried.

LONDON, June 25-Never at any time
in her history has Great Britain been in
volved in so many diverse issues that vi
tally affect the future of her empire. And
though there are still at stake in South
Africa military, territorial and financial
considerations that in their magnitude
have scarcely been exceeded during the
century, Great Britain is no exception to
the rest of Europe in being wrought up
to pitch of intense anxiety, to the ex-
clusion of every topic, by the drama being
enacted in the far east. In the excite
ment of the moment the relief of MAIZE
king seems a little thing compared with
the relief of Vice admiral Seymour and
the international forces. Spion hop,
Paardeburg and Colenso sink into insig-
nificance compared with the spectacle
presented by the land and sea forces OF
the six greatest powers in the world
fighting side by side against common
enemy. With keen sense of the relative
proportion of things Great Britain quick
ly turned her eyes to China, not so much
perhaps on immediate developments as
upon the possibility of the epoch-making
war or wars which may arise out of the
present crisis.
The death of Count Muravieff, the Rus
sian minister of foreign affairs, evoked
no canting obituaries or expressions of
regret here, for the British press, in spite
OF the equanimity of the foreign office,
was unanimous in realizing the gravity of
the present turn of affairs. To quote a
staid and humane weekly, ''The death of
Russia's minister removes an obstacle to
the cordiality between Russia and Eng
land" and though this summarizes the
comment of the leading papers, there is
little hope expressed that Russia's aggres-
sive policy toward China will be much
modified. Apart from the material view
of. the result of Count Muravieff's death it
is generally referred to as one of the most
pathetic happenings in political cafeers,
for according to the dead mans critics
he seemed, owing to the crisis in China,
on the verge of accomplishing the object
to which he had devoted his life.

THROUGH THE HEART.
A.C. Howe Shoots Himself at
Lincoln, Neb.

Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 15-Despondent
and discouraged because his efforts to
secure employment had failed. A. c.
Howe, a telegraph operator. last night
sent a bullet crashing through his
heart dying almost instantly. The
deed was committed in the office of the
Western Union Telegraph company in
this city. Howe had been here only a
few days. He presented a letter Of
Union manager at Topeka where he
was employed until January %. and
with the aid OF an acquaintance now in
this city, j. H. Lee, with whom he had
worked in Topeka. he evidently had ex-
pectations of securing employment.
The Offices here however had nothing to
offer him, and he met the same rebuff
as at other cities he had visited since
leaving Topeka.
Early in the morning he conversed
over the wire with an acquaintance in
the Western Union office in Kansas
City. Shortly before IL O'Clock he again
entered the office, sat down at one of
the desks, and soon after fired the shot
He was well dressed but penniless. The
body viii be held by the coroner until
the father and a brother. who live at
Pennington, Mo. are communicated
with concerning its disposition.
On January 25 Anderson C. Howe was
dismissed from the employ of the West
ern Union office here, where he was an
operator, on account of an order call
ing for reduction in the force He
had worked himself up from messenger
to operator in Topeka. When 13 years
of age he commenced carrying mes
sages He was promoted to the night
counter and then to operator. On last
Monday he went to Kansas City, in
tending to go from there to Dallas.
Monday night he returned from Kansas
City about midnight and went to the
home of Alex Aird. He reused Alexis
father and told him his son had a re-
volver he wanted to purchase. Mr..
Aird told him it was too late at night
to be buying revolvers and Howe left.
He returned to Kansas City that night.
He wont to Lincoln where a friend of
his, Harry Lee, is employed as op-
orator.
Howe was a good boy said H. ].
Bevelle, manager of the Western Union
office here. He worked here for seven
years, and his habits were excellent.
He was a good operator and handled
our hea West wire. 1 know of no reason
for his committing suicide, unless he
was desDondent on account of being
out of work. He had some money
saved He had been despondent and
acted queerly lately, and as so many
operators are out of employment he
had a hard time finding work. His
parents live at Pennington, Mo-"
Alex Aird, who knew Howe well, said:
"I know of no reason why he should
commit suicide. He had been despond-
ent lately, but I always thought he was
queer"

ANTITRUST MOVE.
A Success Was Chicago Effort Says G.
F. Williams and Henry George, Jr.

Chicago, Feb. 15.-Opinions as to the
probable influence of the antitrust
conference held in this city were given
by some of the delegates at the close of
the convention last night as follows:
When men of so many different po-
litical minds can come together in har-
monious deliberative conference and be
practically unanimous in support OF
remedies for a public evil it marks a
tremendous advance in reform. 1t will
have an unmistakable political effect by
calling the attention of parties to the
peoples attitude on the trust question.
(Signed) GEO. FRED WILLIAMS,
'.Massac chusetts.''
While naming many forms of trusts.
the conference has concentrated this
opposition on three forms-telephone,
telegraph and railroad combinations. 1t
also denounced the banking trust and
pronounced in favor of the referendum.
Al lthis arraigns privilege of reform. to
attack one form is to attack them all.
The people of the nation have in many
ways shown that they are ready for the
issue and that it is destined quickly to
become a potent factor in national poll
ties. HENRY GEORGE, JR.,

No Congressional Funeral.

Washington, Feb 15.-At the request
of Mrs. Chickering. widow of the late
Representative Chickering of New
York, there is to be no congressional
funeral in connection with the inter
1nent of the deceased congressman and
the senators and representatives here

recent years in which the formalities
of such q funeral have been dispensed
with and it is due to the views held by
Mr. Chickering and his wife against the
ceremonious character of such affairs.
