German Foreign ONCE Reckoning on
Possibility

Berlin, September 7.-Evidently the
German foreign Office reckons with the
possibility that Russia Will yield to the
arguments OF the powers and Will not
withdraw her troops from Pekin. Dis
cussing this question today high foreign
office official said;
Germany does not understand the
! Washington dispatches to mean that the
United States intend to withdraw their
troops. So far as Russia is concerned, it
must be borne in mind that she did not
put forth her proposition Of withdrawal
as sine qua non, but only tentatively
and for the purpose of discussion"
On attention being called to the sharp
criticisms Of Russia S attitude in a sec
ton Of the German press, the foreign
office official remarked:
Our press is discussing the question
for the most part in a wholly amicable
spirit; and those papers that are attack

NOTHING DEFINITE
From the Pao Ting Flu
Missionaries.

New York, September 7.-Robert E.
Speer, one of the secretaries of the Pres
byterian board of foreign missions, re-
cived letter today from David J. Hill,
assistant secretary of state dated Wash
ington, September CDR. Hill says;
"Your letter of the 4th inst asking in
formation concerning the missionaries
at Pao Ting Flu and particularly con-
corning DR.. G. Y. Hodge and wife, who
are thought to be in Pekin has been
received
1.-The department has had no definite
information concerning the missionaries
at PaO Ting Flu since the telegram from
Consul General Goodnow at Shanghai
dated July ~ last. In that telegram,
AIr. GCOdnOW stated that an official tele-
gram received at Shanghai on the ISsh
reported all foreigners and many native
Christians killed at Pao Ting Flu; mis-
sion burned, the Americans named were
the SimcOX family. Taylor, Pitkin,
Misses Gould and Morrill,.
''In view of the many urgent inquiries
Of the friends of DR.. and Mrs. Hodge
not mentioned in Mr.. GOOdnoW S tele-
gram-the department autographed on
August p to Mr. Oonger asking whether
they were in Pekin. 10 this telegram
no reply has been received.
ION August %, reports received from
China from various sources, concerning
the PaO Ting Flu missionaries, being
conflicting, the department again tele-
graphed to Minister Conger directing
him to ascertain their fate If posi- bic, and
II any were alive, to endeavor to send
relief. There has not been sufficient time
as yet to have received a reply to this
enquiry"
Edgar Quackenbush, an American tea
merchant writes to Mr.. Speer from
Shanghai, August 8, that it VIII BIZ a
calamity If Prince Tuan, Kang Vi and
some of the other ring leaders, are not
captured and put to death before nego-
tiatiOns for peace are begun.
The Rev. Alfred &. Street, who was
stationed in the island of Hainan
writes from Hong Kong, August 8:
UNLESS there is a prOtracted, severe
contest all over the empire, there can
be no settlement of China II it should
come about that a settlement is reached,
Within the next few months. it viii be
a disaster, unless the settlement takes
the form of partition among the powers.
Such a settlement, however, would
probably be followed by trouble for an
indefinite period before peace would be
secured enough for missionary work.
All indications point to a general up
heavaI over all the Is provinces. If 1t
does not come now, 1t Will have to come
at some later day"

Fire Caught in Stable Of ]. Il. Davis
at OakdaIe.
House and Stable Prac-
tically in Ruins.
Residence of C. E. Libby Suffers
Similar Fate.

The alarm OF fire from box nine at a
few minutes before twelve O'Clock last
night was on account OF lively blaze
which originated in the stable OF Jam es
H. Davis adjoining his residence on the
corner OF Falmouth street and Forest
avenue. Mr.. Davis house was built sew
enteen years ago and Is of wood, two
stories in height and OF the Queen Anne
style, On the other size OF the stable is
the two story wooden house owned by
Mrs. Almargrowe of New York and occu-
pied by Charles K. Libby, the well known
expressman. Yesterday Mr.. Davis had
put into his stable ton and half of
hay. This fully taxed the capacity of the
stable and it is believed that the hay
was damned In so tightly that it pressed
up against one OF the electric lights over
the stable and thus caused the fire. The
flames must have burst out in fierce
style for the fire had communicated to the
houses on either side of the stable and
was making great havoc before Frank
Cary, a young man of Bedford street,
d discovered it and fastened to pull in the
alarm. The department. quickly respond
ed, Engine 4 being the first to reach the
scene. 1t was necessary to thoroughly
wet down both houses and the stable so
that by the time that the fremen had
concluded their work these three build
ings had been pretty well Quilted. The
neighbors gallantly rushed to the rescue
OF Mr.. Davis and Mr.. Libby and sue
ceeded in getting out good part of the
furniture of both of the unfortunate
families. The piano of Mr.. Davis was
removed outdoors but the plano of Mr..
Libby which was valued at $3.50 could
not be got out in time. Mr. Libby had
an insurance Of 81, 900 in the agency OF
e. Q. Jones & Co., and he estimated that
his loss wiz be nearly twice as much as
that amount. Mr.. Davis had an insur-
ance OF s., 000 on his house, 81 900 on his
furniture, $500 on his stable, $3.50 on his
carriages and harnesses and $50 on his
horse, ali in the agency Of Dow & Pink
ham. The horse was rescued by Sandy
Hope, who is employed by Mr.. Davis
about the place. Mr.. Hope rushed into
the stable and discovered that the flames
We're enwraped all about the horse. But
nothing phased, Mr.. Hope ran into the
stall, unhitched the horss and literally
pulled him out into the street. Alder
man Moulton. who is a nearby resident,
was soon on the scene and at once offered
the use of his home 20 Mr.. and Mrs
Davis for the night
Mr.. Davis bought his house seven
years ago and he has laid out about

room fitted up in fine style ana this was

elier for the Milnken- Tomlinson COM

Portland, proceedings would be at once
instituted with a view of bringing them
to trial. Mr.. Thompson stipulated that
Jwo men from Boston should take charge
of the crew No answer was received
from the crew last night as to what they
were disposed to do The captain the
crew gave Mr.. FIaherty to understand,
had not shown up put was trying to
make a sale of the ship. These men,
the authorities state, violated both the
laws of the state courts and the laws of
the United States courts. The penalties
attached to these violations are serious
ones. The violation of the state courts
consisted In interfering with an officer
in the discharge of his duty, while the
violation of the federal statutes consisted
in vessel putting to sea without reg
ular qualified master. '"Ihis thing has
been tried by crews at Gloucester be-
FORE" said Mr.. Thompson in speaking of
the matter last evening. 1.-The fact that
1t has been done there probably gave
Captain Mallock and his men an idea
that 1t could be also got away with in
Portland all right. But 1t Will be found
that no such things Will be countenanced
here. This is the first case OF the kind
that has happened in Portland for many
years. The last time was when Eben N.
Perry was sheriff. Mr.. Perry had a
pogie boat stolen from him but it was
found in Boston and brought back to
Portland;
Captain Mallook is master who is
well known in this port to which he has
been sailings for several years. lie is
about 40 years of age and is said to be
the sole owner of the Mather. The case
Isl one that is sure to be watched with
more than the usual degreee of interest.

Mr.. Major, the famous cement man, of New
York, explains some very interesting facts
about Majors Cement.
The multitudes who use this standard arti-
Gle know that it is many hundred per cent
better than other cements for which similar
claims are made but great many do not
know why. The simple reason is that Mr..
and other manufacturers do not use them. be-
cause they are too expensive and do not allow
large profits. MIR Major tells us that one of
the elements of his cement costs So. IL q pound,
and another 81 60 a gallon, while large share
OF the so-called cementS aud liquid glue upon
the market is nothing more than 16-cent glue,
dissolved IN water or cltric acid, and, in some
cases, altered slightly in color and odOr by the
addition Of cheap and useless materials
Majors Cement retails at 10 cents and p
cents bottle, and when dealer tries to sell a
substitute you can depend upon it that his
only object is to make larger profit.
The profit on Majors Cement is as much as
any dealer ouoht to make any cement. And
this is doubly true in view of the fact that each
dealer gets his share of the benefit of Mr. Ma
jor's advertising, which now amounts to over
5000 month. throughout the country. Fs-
tablished in 1916.
