Victoria, II. c.. Feb. 6.-Gen. Shar-

to China, interviewed by the North
China Daily News of Hong Kong, said,
regarding tariff questions and the new
commercial treaty:
1T seems pretty well settled that
there will be no obstacle in the way of
speedy settlement of the tariff ques-
ton"
He left that the interest of the United
States We're safe in the hands of Sir
Ernest Satow and Sir Jas. Mackay the
British commissioners. He considered
the negotiations Of the commercial
treaty a matter of far greater moment
and difficulty in which many conflicting
interests would be involved rendering a
unanimous agreement hard to reach.
He also expressed doubts as to Chinese
officials willingness or ability to apply
the drastic measures which might be-
come necessary.
The fundamental features of the new
traty. he said, would be to open up
fresh treaty ports. secure to foreigners

ADAM WORTH DEAD.
Stole Famous Gainsborough Picture in
London Years Ago.

Chicago, Feb. 6.--Adam Worth, alias
Henry J. Raymond, and known as the
Napoleon of Crime" is dead in London.
With the announcement of his death, to-
day, all the details of the recovery of
the celebrated Gainsboroush painting OF
the Duchess of Devonshire were made
public in Chicago.
1t was while in London that Worth con-
ceived the idea of carrying off the Gains
borough picture. His first plan was to
rob the Royal Academy of its art treas
ures. Then he changed his mind and di-
rected his attention to the Gainsborough
painting. Assisted by his partner, he
climbed into Tie Agnew galleries one
night, cut the painting from its frame
and carried it away.
Worth owned a steam yacht and the
canvas was taken abord and concealed
there until he sold the vessel to Lord
Lonsdale. Then he took the picture to
Paris and finally brought it to America
where 1t was concealed for 10 years. In
the meantime Worth was arrested in
Brussels and forced to serve seven years
Mr. Pinkerton had known Worth for 80
years. Two years ago Mr.. Pinkerton re-
ceived telegram telling him that an inn
portant letter was at hrs home. The let
ter was from Worth, who asked an in
terview. This was granted and Worth
said he was going to die and wanted to
turn up the Gainsborough picture in
order that his two children. who had been
educated in a convent, might enjoy the
proceeds.
Through a hitch the picture was not re-
covered at that time. Worth returned to
London and, early last spring, he full
filled his bargain.

London Sun Sues Government Leader
Balfour for SANDER.

London, Feb. THE Brussels cor.
respondent of the Daily Telegraph de-
clares it to be absolutely certain that
owing to the attitude of the powers
and the Boer leaders, the Dutch gov
eminent is now firmly determined to
abandon the Boer cause and any idea
of fresh intervention.
In the House of Commons, Thursday,
Mr.. Balfour, the government leader, an
nounced that copies of the correspon-
dence exchanged between the govern
ment of The Netherlands and that of
Great Britain on the subject of peace
in South Africa had been mailed to
Lord Miner, governor of the Trans
vaal and Orange River colonies and
high commissioner of South Africa,
who would be instructed to ask Lord
Kitchener to communicate the contents
to the Boer leaders in the field.
Mr.. Chamberlain, the colonial secrc-
tary, added the information that if the
leaders of the Boer forces proposed
to Lord Kitchener negotiations for a
settlement the proposal would be for
warded for the committee to the gov
eminent.
The Sun has brought suit against
A. j. Balfour, the government leader
in the House of Commons for Islander,
on account of Mr.. Balfour's declaration
in the House of Commons that the
Suns interview with him concerning
the overtures recently made by The
Netherlands government is a fabrica-
ton.
