CONGER INSTRUCTED
TO SIGN AGREEMENT
Has Already Been Approved
by Other Ministers.
CONGRESS TAKES RECESS

Adjournment Taken Until Jan. 3.
Hay-PaunceRote Trenty-Death OF
Representative Wise-Opposition to
the Shipping Bill.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2I.-Instructions
again went out today to Mr.. Conger at
Peking, to sign the agreement which,
according to Picking advices. already
has been signed by all the other minis.
ters at the Chinese capital. This in
sTuction is sent with some reluctance,
because the agreement, as it now stands,
does not completely represent the view
Of the United States government. But
it is believed the most favorable COM
promise that could be reached, unless
the negotiations are to be drawn out to
a dangerous length, for all reports indi-
cate a growing spirit of unrest in China
owing to the absence of any form of ma.
tive government III Chilli and the adj
jacent provinces. So the United States
accepts the "irrevocable' condition i'm
posed upon the Chinese government
though, after all, this expression is
rather a matter Of form than of sub.
stance, for diplomacy knows no such
thing as ''irrevocable" as cement.
AS to the British condition the con-
ventiOn of Picking and Chilli is to con-
tinue until China has given sufficient
proofs of her intention to comply with
the conditions laid down in the agree
ment, it is stated that this will not
affect the status Of the United States.
Mr.. Conger has, by direction Of his gov
ernment, notified the other ministers
that the American forces will not again
be called into China for the purpose of
occupation, that nothing more than a
legation guard is to be maintained by
us and the powers have accepted this
condition. 1t is, therefore, expected
here that the agreement will be signed
before the end of the current month.

SENATOR HANNA WARNED
Ship Subsidy Bill Cannot Pass In Its
Present Shape.

WASHINGTON, Dec Ex-senator Hanna
has been warned by Senator Aldrich,
one of the most powerful men in the
senate when it comes to shaping legisla-
ton, that the ship subsidy bill, in which
Hanna is so deeply interested, cannot
pass the senate in its present shape. 1t
has also been intimated to the Ohio sen.
tor thatunless he changes his tactics very
materially there will be little chance of
getting any ship subsidy bill through at
this session.
The changes which Senator Aldrich
and some of his associates propose to
make in the bill are not expected to
meet the approval of Senator Hanna
and the interests he represents. They
are. in fact, dictated by interests I'M
friendly to these which have been most
active in pushing the present bill.
Whether in the end Senator Hanna will
agree to accept these amendments rath-
er than have no bill at all is a matter of
speculation, In his present temper the
Ohio senator would not accept these
changes, but it is possible that in order
to get the subsidy principle engrafted
upon the statute books he will, when
the time comes, accede.

MOST REMARKABLE
CASE IN MANY YEARS
Of Interest to Fashionable
Back Bay Circles.
PUNISHED HER BETRAYER

Young Girl Who Avenged Her Wrong
ParoIled by Judge Bond-Mis Rogan
Threw Vitrol In DIR. TayIor's Eyes
and Goes Free.
Boston, Dec. 2l.-The most remarka-
BILE criminal case tried in a Massachu-

which aroused intense interest in the
fashionable Back bay district, Fas
ended yesterday when Judge Bond pro-

list, by throwing vitriol in his face out on
revenge for betrayal. The young girl
had earlier appeared before the judge
and told her pitiable story and showed
the whitehaired justice her little babe,
of which she claimed Taylor was the
father. She said that Taylor, after he
had wrecked her life, had told her that
he was irresistible among women by
reason of his good looks
In announcing his decision judge.
Bond said that from this ev1- 20 APP
peared that DIR. Taylor had sought out
Miss Rogan, knowing she was virtu-
Gus woman, who had in no way
wronged him, for the sole purpose OF
causing her ruin, and after he had ac-
complished it by fraud and deception
and the use of Intoxicating liquors. If
not by drugs, he unfeelingly cast her off
without assistance and advised her to
resort to a life of prostitution, and even
boosted of his disgraceful conduct with
this young woman.
"Suoh a man." the judge added, sis
so vile that I have no pity for him In
his unfortunate condition. 1853
Judge Bond said that he regretted
Miss Rogan dAl not leave the punish
ment of her betrayer to higher power
than herself. AS TO the possibility that
similar acts of personal vengeance would
follow the probationing of this prisoner
the judge said that such acts were so
rare-none other having come before
him in 40 years of his service on the
bench-that he would take the risk and
order the release of the prisoner on pro-

WILL NOT BUILD
Akron-Canton Electric Line This
Year.

''There is little likelihood of the
Akron. Canton electric line being built
this year." said prominent street
railroad man today. 'The trouble with
the scheme is this. In order to make
1t a paying investment whoever builds
the line, must have terminal facilities
in Canton aud Massillon. At present
these cannot be secured unless the
lines now running into those cities are
leased, The rental for the lines would
eat up the profits of the Akron Can
ton line. AS the matter now stands,
do not expect to see the road built
for some time to come"
1t Is said that If Akron parties could
get possession of the terminal facil
tiles they would build the line. 1t is
looked upon as good investment pro
ylded entrance can be gained into Can
ton aud Massillou without too great an
expenditure.
