RUSSIA ALONE
Other Powers Agree on the Anglo
 German Note.

Washington. Nov. 1.-The alignment Cf the powers on the British German agreement is now practically complete. All having answered save Russia. Italy, Austria and Japan give uncGn- ditiOnal assent to all the terms. The United States and France accept the clauses relating to the ''Open door" and tn. maintenance of the territorial integrity of China but withhold action on the third clause relating to further procedure in case any power sei2 $ territory.
 The effect of the exchange has been tp bring the five powers to an agree ment resp cting the "open door anI the territorial integrity of China and to consult among themselves as to d future course in case any of the other pywlrS seek to acquire Chinese terri tory. Tn "other powers as matters stand are the United States, France and probably Russia AS to the Gni- ted States there is mo possibility of an initiative in taking territory so the terms of the third clause would apply particularly to France and Russia bringing about the concurrent action nf five pow rI in ease either sought to extend it's domain in China.

A Growing Business in the
 United States.
It Is Shown That Half the Imports of This Country Are of Articles Used in the Manufacturing In dustries.

Washington, Nov. 1.-(SpeciaD.-The manufacturers of the United States are rapidly increasing their share in the foreign commerce of the country. Nearly one-half of the importations are now for their use and more than one third of the eXpOrta tions are their pro- ducts. Their impOrtatiOnS during the nine months ending with September, 1900, amounted to $2S1, ,OOO,OoO a daily average of over $1.OOOOOO, while their exports of finished manufactures in the same time amounted to $33S ,OOO, ,OOO, a daily average of more than $l l,25000
 Never before in the history of the country have the manufacturers inn ported so much material for use in manufacturing or exported so much of finished manufactures. In the core spending nine months of last year the inportations of manufacturers materi- als amounted to $242, ,000, ,000, or $40, ,000,- O0O less than in the nine months just ended, and the exports of manufac- lures amounted to $211 ,000, ,000, or $61, 100000 less than in the corresponding months of this year. In the nine months of 1896, ending with September the lmpOrtationS of manufacturers materials amounted to $lS3, 900, 900, as against $2S1 O0OOOO in the correspond ing months of 1900. and the exports of manufactures amounted to $1S4O00, 900. as against $33S, ,OOO, 900 in the core spending months of 1900.
 Thus the manufacturers during the four years have increased their impor tatiOn of materials for use in manufac- turing more than 90 per cent. and in creased their eXportation of finished manufactures more than so per cent Manufacturers materials q decade ago formed but S3 per cent of the total im- portat lions; now they form over 45 per cent of the total imports; while finished manufactures, which d decade ago formed but IS per cent of the cX ports. now form over 33 per cent of the exports.
 The following table shows the i'm portations of manufacturers materials and the eXpOrtations of manufactured goods in nine months ending with Sep tember in each year from 1886 to 19j0.

QUAN MAKES RETURN
How the United States Effected Com
 promise with Him,

Quan Make, an attaChe of the Garden City restaurant. returned from a visit to China yesterday. The treasury de- partment of the United States made it very troublesome for him to get back. Quan Make registered under the exclu- sion act as a merchant. About thirty days after he was gone the treasury department. taking advantage of his absence, made a ruling that a res taurant keeper is not a merchant. but a laborer. Accordingly, when Quan Make got back to San Francisco with his merchants certificate describing him as a restaurant keeper he was not allowed to land Quan Make wrote to his Phoenix friends about it and as everybody liked him, a movement was made in his behalf. and q certificate was forwarded from here by people who didn't know about the treasury ruling, so that the case was not for warded very much. E. F. Jossey. the Chinese inspector for this district, in quired into the affair and aScertaininE that Quan Make was a merchant when he went away. wrote to the treasury agents at San Francisco advising them of all the circumstances and recom- amending them to let Quan Make land. if he would recognize the authority of the department by confessing himself to be a laborers Quan Make refused to lower himself and so remained tied up. His Obstinacy embarrassed the United States of America. He could neither be allowed to land nor could he be de- ported without a violation of good faith At length diplomatic official effected a compromise. Quan Make could not be brought to say that he was laborer or restaurant keeper but he did admit that he was engaged at No. 13 East Washington street, Phoe- nix. Ariz., in the business of selling vic tuals. The government was satisfied and the next day Quan Make started for Phoenix.

The Election Of Mckinley Re-

The Revival of Business After Tenn porary Stagnation Caused by An Unreasonable Uncertainty Has Begun.

New York, Nov. 1.-(SpcciaD. Tn re has been strong bulIish undertnne prevailing the stock market, with only two adverse factors in sight, namely, the uncertainty concerning the i'm

Within the last two weeks, op- inion has become much more positive as to the chances for success in the elcc- tiOns for the sound money candidate, which naturally is a very strong cle- ment in favor of the value of securities and the money market has become more assured under the abatement of shipments of currency to the interior, and also owing to the liberal influx of gold from other countries; so that the possibility of incOnveuiently active money continuing no longer cXcitcs ser ious misgivings; although the loan market has been active throughout the week and the rate of interest has been firmer, owing to the increasing demand

A BIG BEAR STORY.
Monkeys Are Not In It with Arizona's
 Wild Animals.

A posse of cowboys, composed of Nels Wilson. Rawley West, and five others, killed four Eig bears out to- wards the Blue this week, and have
 brought the skins to town. says the Safford Arizonian. The boys report they ran up against bunch of five of the Bruin element. They killed four, but in doing SO used up all their ammu- milton, and then they had d wild and woolly time in trying to capture the fifth, but he got away. The boys roped him several timss, but nearly every time he suddenly stopped, got a little slack and threw the moose off with his paw befOrethe rope could be frightened.
 He ran around d mound several times and four of the men dismounted
 and tried to catch him by the legs as he passed through a narrow gap, two
 posting themselves at the entry and two at the outlet, one 1n each side of the path. He ran at full speed to with in three feet of the first two, when he feaped about eight feet in the air light ing about four feet from the other two men, who Were laying for him. He was evidently aware of thsir plan, for as soon as he struck tn" ground he gathered his four feet in a bunch, took his tail in 'his mouth and rolled at a forty mile gait between the two men, till he got about tw5 nty feet from them when h. hit the high places again with his feet ard escaped.
 It seems that these five bears were a foraging squad sent out by a large number that had just come from the north to spend the winter. For after the boys rested an hour two of them got anc-her supply of ammunition and followed bruin toward a canyon that is about three hundred feet deep, one hundred feet wide and had perpendic- ular, rocky sides. When they reached the top eff a hill they saw a bunch of about a hundred bar at a tree near the canyon. apparently consulting on ways and m an'S 10 get out. Sud- denly q string of bears climbed a tree, the first walked out ca d big limb and hooked isis tail around it.

New York, Nov. 1.-Thc death of the Madison avenue apartments on Sep tember 23, the attempt of his New York attorney, Albert T. Patrick, to cash checks for large amounts. which pur- ported to be signed by the millionaire, the refusal of one bank to cash the cheeks drawn on it and the discovery by the bank officials that Mir. Rice was lying dead at the time the checks were presented, the subsequent claim by Patrick that MT. Rice had made him by his will trustee of his estate. which amounts to Anywhere from $3,OOO, coo to $S,OOO.OOO. the charge of forgery both as regards the checks and the will placed against Patrick and MT. Rice's valet, Charles r. Jones. the arrc st of Patrick and Jones and their Judgment in jail have kept New York interested for over a month on what. by the develop ments of today, promises to become one of the most celebrated crimes which the courts of this city have been called on to investigate.
 The first incident which led up to today's climax was the fact disclosed SVSbCihtS 'Hdl lilta NSltl, JOncS. nau been taken to the district attorney'S of flee and the subsequent rumor that he had made d confession to the author ities. Before the public had time to learn if the report of q confession was true, came the more startling news that during the night Jones had, in his cell, in the TOmbs, attempted suicide by cutting his throat with q pen knife, given him. he says. by Attorney Pat rick. also confined in the TOmbs, and for the purpose of getting rid of one witness to Patrick's alleged crime.
 Patrick's crime. according to the confession of Jones, parts of which the district attorneys office gave out today. was nothing less than the murder of Millionaire Rice by Attorney Patrick and the purloining of his papers rclat- ing to the estate. The taking off of MT. Rice. says Jones, was done by the i'm ternal administration of some poison. supposedly mercury. and the final ap- plicatiOn of a towel saturated with some anaesthetic,
 Jones said that for some days prior tu Eice's death Patrick had adminiS- tered to him tablets of graYiSh color and after death had tempered with the millionaire's papers and induced Jones to fill out two blank checks, signed by Rice. for $25. .O0O and $6J,0O0

frnm the stock exchange.


 Under these circumstances. those who have expected a ''bulf campaign after the election have anticipated their intended later buying. Leading operators have rushed into the market, and outsiders having followed thelr cue. the market has been taken some what by surprise. and prices have risen so rapidly that some of the profesSlOn- alS have adopted the eXpedient of talk ing profits in order to produce d reac- ton that would enable them tO get their stocks back at lower prices. These tactics have been recently partially successful. Following the Wonted tao ties of skilled opera tors, realizing profits was quite natural after the re- cent big advance. No doubt, that course will be more or less adopted on all the big rallies between now and the COnl- ing election; but it is perhaps by no means certain that Inc effect of such realizing would be a general and severe reaction in prices. IL is more than pos sible that q public verdict consolidating a sound money policy may excite a public enthusiasm which will bring in an outside buying movement suiiic- tent to absorb all stocks sold for the realization of profits.
 It is not easy to say what estimate may be put upon the significance of an election promising so much for the future welfare of the country as would the continuance of the present party in power It is always difficult to fore cast how public opinion may pronounce upon a given set Of circumstances; but it cannot be said to be unlikely that such results as are now expected from the elections might prove to be the basis of a VeTitabie boom, not only in securities. but also in the material in tercsts of the country at large. The reelection of the present president would mean much more than has been expressed in any platform. Within the last two or three years, the course of events has thrust upon the country new situations and new policies of the utmost consequence to the prosperity and the destiny of the republic. The reelection Of MT. Mckinley would mean that these new elements will be- come more completely inwoVcn into the life, activities and political texture of the nation. If public Opinic1 should construe these changes in the national development as calculated to promote the common prosperity and the strength of the republic. the cOnse- quences to the business interests of the

 Concurrcntly with these develop mcnts. changes are forthcoming in our relations with oiher countries of the utmost consequence. The Philip pines must be speedily freed from their present confusion and incorporated in to our political and commercial organ ization: and Manila must stand out as the symbol and the fortress of Ameri- can ascendancy in the Pacific. Concur rently with this establishment of our military and naval power i'll the east, the doors of commerce are to be thrown wide upen to us in China. Great Brit ain and Germany have agreed upon a form of settlement of the eastern ques- tion. which already has commanded the assent of the European powers at large and of our own government. The way to a settlement that will throw the whole Celestial empire open to the trade of all countries is thus becoming within near sight. which will be one of the greatest achievements Of Centur- ieS On the one hand it will mean the removal from the worlds politics of q question which has threatened to del ugc Asia with blood and to involve
 Europe in destructive international struggles. On the other hand, it will add 450O0O GOO of new customers to the markets of the world. The significance of all this to the United States is that We stand nearest to the field of this new commerce, and are better equipped than any other nation for sharing in it. It means that when the present poii- tical excitement is passed and the troubles in China have given place to q new order of things, the rising com- mercial spirit of this country will eag- erly occupy itself with new fields of enterprise In renovated China. out of which will como a great revival of iu

Under the new system the Lon don vestries are abolished and the metropolitan make up is recast into twenty-eight municipalities, with twenty-eight mayors, 253 aldermen, and 1,56S councillors.
 The mclving factor of the new sys- tcm is the decentralization of the powers of government. The duties hitherto performed by an immense swarm of vestry clerks, inspectors and other minor officials will be more even ly distributed among a smaller number of borough officials and the expectation of those favoring the change is that the work will be better done and at less expense.
