London, March 18.-Coincident with

provinces of China. the foreign office
here to-day issued voluminous blue
book dealing with the protracted ne
gotiations between China and the Pow
ers, from March %, 1901, to Sept. Z,
1901, when the final protocol was sign
ed. In its 275 pages of diplomatic dis
patches, edicts and digests of China's
financial capabilities there is annie
evidence that the negotiations formed
one of the most intricate webs of in
ternational differences in the history of
the world. One striking quotation. pc
cullarly apt to the present far Eastern
situation, can be extracted from a dis
patch of the British ambassador at
st. Petersburg in which Count Lams-
dorf, the Russian foreign minister is
quoted as saying that he dreaded the
possibility of fresh outbursts of anti
foreign fanaticism.
throughout the extended negotiations
on the subject of the amount. division
and method of payment of the Chinese
indemnity Great Britain and the United
states appear from the blue book to
nave worked hand in hand, though on
posed by all the other Powers.
In most of the cardinal points Anglo
american diplomacy triumphed.

was sent from the Superior Court yes
terday to serve a term of three years
in the penitentiary Of the state Ac-
cording even to the. statement of the
defendant, his assault with a knife
upon Anderson had been almost abso-
lutely unprovoked.
There were few details offered by the
evidence. Anderson had been playing
and Bowden watching a game of skin,
and they became involved in a wordy
war. The result of it was that Bow
den drew a knift and began to carve
Anderson to pieces. He was succeed
ing well when the bystanders pulled
him off.
The knife was introduced in evidence
at the trial. 1t has a spring blade,
perhaps four or five inches in length,

as one could wish to see. There were
no arguments made and the jury
promptly returned a verdict of guilty,
Judge Barrow, just as promptly SEN

HOFFMAN, HAD AN OVATION.
Played Splendid Programme BE-
fore n Brilliant Audience.


fore n Brilliant Audience.
An ovation that was as genuine as it
was merited was accorded Josef Hof-
mann, piano virtuoso, in his recital
under the auspices of the Savannah
Music Club at the Lawton Memorial
last night. And all the praise and ap-
plause that he got was merited, for
though still in his minority. Josef Hof-
mann is a great pianist. Certainly no
better has ever been heard in Savau-
this city in recent years, Rosenthal and
Nine. Careno, can be compared to him
at all.
He was greeted by one of the largest,
the most brilliant and possibly one of
the most critical audiences of the city.
1t was not disposed to take the plan
list on his reputation, and so only
modest hand-clapping greeted him on
his appearance, but he won his audit
ors by his playing, and after each num-
Der the enthusiasm steadily increased
until the last chord of the last selec-
ton had died away and Holman had
left the stage, and even then the ap-
plause was continued in the hope that
he would return and play again.
So pronounced and so prolonged was
the applause at times, that Holman
was forced to break his rule not to
give encores, and repeated two of his
numbers, the "Gnomereigen' and the
"Jongleur." The programme was we'll
selected, including compositions of both
the classic and the romantic schools
and giving the pianist an opportunity
of displaying not only the technique
of the pianist, though this alone is re-
markable, but also the higher artistic
qualities of Interpretation. The pro-
gramme was as follows:
Haydn, variations, f minor.
