British seisure of German steamer
Declared "GrOss Insolence."
Berlin, Jan. 1.-Regarding the seiE-
ure by the British cruiser Magicienne
of the imperial mail steamer Bundles
rath. of the German East African line,
a high official of the German foreign
office, who was interviewed yesterday,
says:
SILENCE must be preserved at pres
ent concerning the actual status OF the
negotiations which nave been begun
with Great Britain about the matter.
Appropriate steps hove been taken, of
which Germany must await the result.
The matter is regarded by Germany
as OF the utmost Importance, because
seriously involving the rights OF
neutrality"
1t is asserted In government circles
that the British right of search is
questioned and that, in any event, the
British right to stop passengers,
whether they intend to fight for the
Beers or not, is strenuously disputed,
as the vessel upon which they were is
neutral and the territory to which
they were proceeding, namely Delagoa
bay, is also neutral. Redress, 1t is as
serted, will be insisted upon.
The German press unanimously
condemns British action in the
Bundesrath seizure, which is char
acterized as ian instance of gross inso-
lence' and as calculated again to IL
lustrate the need of powerful Ger
man navy to render such overbear-
ance on the part of England impossible
in the future"
1t Is announced that the German pro,
tected cruisers Condor and Schwalbe
are now on the way to Delagoa bay.

POPE LEO'S SUCCESSOR


His Holiness Names Cardinal Girnl-

Rome, Jan. lit is asserted that
the pope, after the recent ceremony
of opening the holy door at st. Peters
cathedral, addressed his intimate en-

Il thank divine providence for
granting me the grace of being able
to celebrate this great function, and
l wish for my successor grandeur and
a long reign, to the greater glory of
God. Ny successor will be young, as
compared with my own age, and will
have time to see many glories Of the
papacy and the church."
Later Leo clearly designated Car

of the congregation of indulgences and
sacred relics, as his successor. Car

FOREIGN CONCESSIONS
Triangular Diplomatic Controversy
Regarding China Adjusted.
FRANCE, ENGLAND AND AMERICA,

Extend Their Territory AT Shanghai
ny Mstual Coacessions which Re-
= suit in Advantage to All Three Ma
tions-The French Satisfied.
Washington, Jan. 1.-The announce
ment that the extension of the foreign
concessions at Shanghai, China, has
been finally approved brings to close
diplomatic controversy between
Great Britain, the United States and
France which has at times become
rather acute. France taking the posi-
ton at one stage of the negotiations
that the American cooperation with
the British in opposing the French
plan Of extension was an unfriendly
act toward France. This, and the
other differences, have been happily
adjusted.
The controversy assumed an inter-
national scope when the three colonies
at Shanghai-British, French and
American-sought to extend their
limits. The concessions are just out
side OF the old native city, and lie along
the River Whang Poo, near the point
where 1t joins the Yang-tse-Kiang.
They are chiefly important because
Shanghai Is the foremost port of entry
for foreign trade in the Chinese en-
pire The French settlement Is near
est the city, and fronts on the river.
Next comes the British settlement and
hn A "A
sire was to extend their settlement SO
as to take in large area back of the
old city, including Ave American mis-
sionary Institutions. The British gov
eminent opposed this extension quite
vigorously The British plan Of ex-
tension was for an international set
tlement," running from the rear of the
British concession up to the native
city. France in turn protested against
this, on the ground that she would be
entirely surrounded, without exit, ex-
cept by the river, the native city, or
over British territory. The United
ternational settlement. as the Ameri-
can interests were substantially sim
liar to those of the British, but the
American attitude did not include an
endorsement of all the contentious
made by the British. It was to this
course of the American government
that France took exception, on the
ground that it was an unfriendly act
to France. The negotiations, while
assuming no outward show of warmth,
were carried on with some briskness.
Ambassador Cambon, of France, pre-
senting the French side up to a few
months ago.
The adjustment finally reached is
satisfactory to all parties concerned.
The French concession is extended.
without including the American mis-
sions. The British and American set
Elements are extended, and to some ex-
tent are merged in the international
settlement, but the British American
extension does not so envelop the
French colony as to place it in a
. pocket.
The values of these several conces-
sions are considerable, as the popula-
tion of Shanghai is about 100000, of
which the greater part is in the for
eign settlement. Here the foreigners
have the right to carry on trade, and
control property, and also have their
own courts, police and an organized
military establishment.

The Every Evening gives Senator
Kenney some advice in threathen-
ing manner if he should vote to seat
M. S. Quay Senator:
There can be no doubt how the
Democrats of Delaware feel about
this matter. They are against
Quay and all of his works. And
any Democratic member OF the
Senate who votes to give Quay a
political boost by favoring his ad-
mission to the Senate by virtue OF
the appointment ofGovernor Stone
when it is known to a certainty
that he can never secure the
office through election by the Legis-
'iafure of Pennsylvania-will be
voting against the interests Of the
Democratic party of his State and
of the country, and will be remem-
bered accordingly. Such "a Demo-
cratic Senator would never have a
reasona ble hope If reelection, for
his party associates in his State
would surely make short work OF
his demand for a reelection, at the
earliest opportunity.
