Washington, Oct. 26.-The final pro-
tocol closing the negotiations at Pekin
between the Chinese plenipotentiary
and the representatives of the powers,
as submitted by special commissioner
Rockhill to the state department, is a
long document consisting of 70 distinct
articles. In general terms these re-
cite the measures taken by China to
satisfy the powers for the Boxer out
break and the assassination of the Ger
man minister the promise to erect a
monument to the memory of Won Ket-
teller and memorial arch work upon
which has already begun; the infiic-
ton of various punishments upon the
Chinese officials who were character
lied as the principal authors of the
outrages and the crimes committed
against the foreign governments and
their nationals
Characteristic Chinese methods ap-
pear in the posthumous degradation of
officials and the rehabilitation of the
memory of others who protested
I0gainst the outrageous breaches of in
| ternational law and were therefore put
to death. Likewise the protocol shows
that reDaration was made for the as
sassination of the Japanese chancellor
! Of legation by special mission to
Japan, and 1t appears that the Chinese
! government already has erected ex-
piatory monuments in each of the for
eign or international cemeteries which
were desecrated.
| Other articles prohibit the importa-
ton of arms or ammunition or ma
terials for their manufacture, and this
decree may be renewed every two
years. Article six provides for the
total indemnity Of 425, 900, 900 tael. with
full particulars of the method of
amortization and distribution among
the powers, each of which is to be rep
resented by delegate on the commit
tee Of bankers to receive the interest.
The Chinese government undertakes to
deliver to the doyen of the corps at
Pekin a bond for the lump sum which
is TO be divided into fractional bonds.
This same article provides for the con-
version of advalorem into specific
rivers Pei-Ho and Whang-Po at the
joint expense of the foreign interests
and China.
Article 10 looks to the future. pro-
hibiting Chinese membership in any
anti-foreign society under pain Of
death; prohibiting examinations in
cities where foreigners were massacred
and providing for the dismissal of gov
ernors who heretofore permitted anti
foreign troubles. The last article
transforms the tsung-li-yamen into a.
ministry of foreign affairs under the
! name Of Wai-wu-pu, which takes pre-
cedence over the six other MINISTRIES
of state.

The Entire Fashionable Part of
the City of London Plunged
Suddenly Into ImpenetrabIe
Darkness
THEATRES AND MUSIC
HALLS PENETRATED
Cabs Took Refuge Under Lights
of Public Houses and Refused
to Move and Scores of Buses
Were Abandoned-Many Acct
dents Reported

London, Oct. 26.-West and Central
London were enveloped tonight in a
black fog, which plunged the entire
fashionable part of the city into i'm
penetrable darkness. The fog found
its way in to the theatres and music
halls until, in many cases. the stage
was scarcely visible. Cabs took refuge
under the lights of public houses, re-
fusing to move, and scores of 'busses
were abandoned around important
landmarks, their drivers not daring to
proceed.
The scenes about the emptying thea
tres were chaotic, the cries of the con-
FUSED and helpless people only adding
to the confusion. Linkboys ran about
trying to lead fashionable equipages
out of danger, giving London a me-
dieval appearance. Many accidents
have already been reported from the
Charing Cross and other hospitals.

Republican Candidate For Repre-
sentative Will be Supported in
East Douglas Notwithstanding
Contrary Reports
DEPUTY SHERIFF HEATH
WARM UNDER COLLAR
Denies Story That He and Other
Republicans of the Town Are
to Bolt the Ticket and Demands
That the Statement be Denied
by the Author


East Douglas, Oct. 25,-The Board of
Registrars met, Saturday, and % new
voters were added to the voting list.
Considerable disgust was evident in
| town, today, when it was learned that
some malicious person or persons in
Deputy Sheriff E. P. Heath and other
leading Republicans opposed to Win
field S. Schuster, the Republican can
didate for representative.
The Spy correspondent has had per-
sonal interviews with e. P. Heath and
other leading Republicans and they all
say the report is false and that there
is no dissatisfaction in the Republican
ranks and that Mr.. Schuster will carry
the town by the largest Republican ma
jority that has been known for years,
and that Mr.. Schuster has their unqual-
flied support.
The following communication over
Deputy Sheriff Heath's signature shows
his position in the matter:
East Douglas, Mass, Oct. 26.
Il have been informed that some ma
licious person has put in circulation in
Millbury statement that Deputy Sher-
iff E. p Heath and other leading Re-
publicans of Douglas, were not support
ing Mr.. Schuster in the coming election.
This statement is absolutely false, and
the person who made it must make a
public denial of it, as neither time nor
expense will be spared to ascertain who
the guilty person is.
TT is beyond question that Winfield
S. Schuster will carry Douglas by a
large majority. (Signad),

#, decided that there is no longer any
necessity for a police guard.
Members of the new Water Board
| are in good spirits over securing pos
session of the books and documents.
Members of the old Board are very
! reticent concerning the entire matter,
and show a very decided in~disposition
to talk with newspaper men concern
ing it.
MIR. Henry F. Jones, who has been a
member of the Board longer than any
citizen who was ever elected to- that
! position, has appeared anxious to have
! the matter settled, and members of the
new Board believe that he would have
done so but for the pressure which was
brought to bear upon him from out
side sources.
Mr.. Jones impressed members of the
new Board with the idea that he was
anxious to straighten the matter out,
and on Friday afternoon said he would
consult an attorney and would again
see the members of the Board on Sat
urday morning. He failed to appear
yesterday, however, and it was then de-
cided to proceed with the opening Of the
safe.
1t is understood that the old Board
officials made up a pay roll and drew
checks for the employees upon the Dol
lar Savings Bank, and that the bank
officials consulted their attorney, who
advised them not to pay out any money
upon the order of the old officials. sub
sequently, it is understood, the
directors of the bank held a meeting,
discussed the situation and decided to
honor the checks.
A member OF the new Board is au-
thority for the statement that the bank
holds an overdraft against the old
Board amounting to about $500. He
stated also that the old Board is in
debted to the bank in the sum of about
$32, 900 for money which was borrowed
to pay for the new pump at the pump
ing station.
1t is generally understood that the
name of one man would express all
that underlies the attitude of the old
Board toward the new. That name is
Shellhase. Mr.. Jones proposed to the
new Board to allow Shellhase and the
other old officials to go into the office
and take up the work. Mr. Butts con-
sented with the understanding that they
would work under the new officials. 1t
was upon this point that the two sides
failed to agree.
A gentleman who is thoroughly ia
miliar with the situation, stated that
everything would have been surrender
ed by the old Board if the new Board
would agree to retain Shellhase as
Secretary. This gentleman also called
attention to the fact that Mr.. She'll
base has been holding public Office for
seventeen years. He was a member of
the fire department, then Secretary of
the Water Board for four years, then
Assistant Postmaster under w. j. w.
Cowden, and has just completed four
more years as secretary Of the Water
Board.

Fifty-Two Million Bushels of Coal.

PITTSBURG, Pa, March 16.-Since
last November the Monongahela River
and Coke Co. has shipped south
from Pittsburg in the n%eighborhood
OF 52,000,0 600 bushels of coal. These
figures are not official, but are based
on approximate estimate by the writ
er, by tabulating the different runs of
coal made since navigation was resum-
ed. 1t is estimated that last year the
same company shipped about 65, 00O, 900
bushels of coal to the south from Pitts
ourg. There is always good boating
water in April and generally a part of
May. Then the June rise is always
looked forward to and seldom fails.
An offlcial of the coal company was
asked if he did not think that the COM
pany would be able to ship south this
year 100, 900 900 bushels of coal. and
he said that if nature furnished the
water, 1t was likely that amount of
coal could be gotten out. More than
half the amount has already gone.
with the best water months of the
year yet to come. Coal men saw
that the outlook this year is most
promising.

Notwithstanding the refusal OF Sec
rotary John E. Shellhase to disclose
the combination, the safe in the once
of the Water Board has been opened,
the books are in the custody OF the
newly elected Board, and the Office will
be open for business Monday morning.
From a private source it is learned
hat the combinations of the safe and
vault were changed on the Tuesday
preceding the last meeting OF Council.
Il is said that they were changed after
business hours. and probably in an
ticipation of the Democrats and insur-
gents taking possession of the Office.
After the Board decided to open the
safe, the services of Henry Schanafelt,
an expert locksmith, were secured. 1t
was determined to open the safe in the
presence of the full board, and for that
reason it was deferred until last even
ing. Messrs Butts, Brandfass and
Lindsay were present when the expert
started to work. He had proceeded for
some time without any success. when
the Board decided to open it in another
manner ~Schanafelt did not want to
give up the job, insisting that he could
open it. He opened the same safe
eleven years ago after thirty-five min
utes' work.
The Board discovered that the safe
had been previously drilled. The plugs
in the holes were forced out and the
safe wal opened. The combination on
the safe had been set for four numbers.
The combinations on the vault and safe
were both changed last night.
The safe, when opened. was found to
contain all the books belonging to the
office, disproving the report which the
Republicans caused to be circulated
that it would be found to be empty.
The Board and its employees took an
inventory of the books and documents
and found that the bills had been taken
from the vault. Everything else vas
found in it's place. There was $21.98
in the safe. The books had been post
ed, with the exception of business of
the 18th and 18th of March.
The Board instructed Secretary Ross
Z. Chew to open up. a new set of books
on Monday morning, and this will be
done. The taking of the bills was a
piece of pure cussedness, as nothing is
accomplished by it except creating the
necessity for doing the work over.
Citizens who desire to pay their water
rents will be attended to from this time
forth.
The police guard has been on duty at
the Water Board and Board of Public
Works offices since last Tuesday at
midnight. but since the combinations
of the safe and vault in the former
have been changed it will probably be
