Complete Surrender by Chi-

Peking, Feb. 20.-The foreign ENJOYS
have received an unofficial communica'
tion from the Chinese plenipotentiaries
Offering to agree to all the terms of the
powers. The Chinese desired, however
to save the lives of Chao Shu Chiao
and Ying Men, but they were Informed
that the ministers insisted upon the
former demands. A complete surren'
der is expected
Meanwhile extensive preparations
are being made for the expedition plan
ned by Count Won Waldersee. The Ger.
mans have purchased 1,S00 camels fol
transport purposes.
The correspondent has been Informed
by the foreign ministers that they
think the gravity of the situation over
but it is expected that difficulties Will
now arise among themselves when
some of the governments send their in
demnity claims, and particularly Is
there uneasiness regarding the attitude
of Germany her claims must be
paid in cash before the evacuation
takes place.
The other ministers resent this, say,
ing it will be impossible for China tc
pay, as China has not a large reserve
and the customs receipts go to pay div.
idends upon former loans, and it is i'm
probable she could borrow sum OF
any magnitude.

THE EGYPTIAN MAZE.
"a Puzzle Which Drove Its Inventor tc
Death by Suicide)

Egyptian maze" but he could figure
out no solution to the great puzzle OF
human existence. He tried to solve
the mystery of death, but the nearest
he could come to it was by dying, and
whatever he has discovered is only
what every one must discover for
himself without any assistance from
the dead.
Mahood's master passion in life was
the making and solving of puzzles,
He invented several that were sue
cessful, but he had no concern for
them except as long as they bafiied
him. When he had solved them he
threw them aside, and others reaped
the money that might have come to
him from his inventions.
The physicians who held an autopsy
on the body say the man had the
puzzle BRAIN" His brain was found
TO be unlike that of other men. 1t
was twisted into more mazes than
the Gordian knot, as if from puzzliIg
over the weird windings of the Egyp.
tian maze the folds OF the brain itself
had twisted and bent in and out after
the fashion of the puzzle blocks. The
other morning he left his home and
walked downtown to Philadelphia
hotel. He went into the writing room
and twice he worked out solutions to
The Egyptian maze, which he care
fully noted down on paper that he
placed in his pocket. Then he went
outside the door, where he put a pis
tol to his head and sent ball crash
ing into his skull. The puzzle solver
had worked on the puzzle of life. Ant
