NAPOLEON
 OF CRIME"  Worth Passes Away
 in London. INCIDENT IN HIS CAREER
Theft of Gainsborough Paint
 ing and Its Return.
William A. Pinkerton Was Given Permission by Worth to Re- late the Story After the
 Thief's Death.

Chicago, Feb s-Adafp Worth, alias Henry J. Raymond, and known as the Napoleon of Crime.'' is dead in London, and with the announcement of his death today all the details of the recovery of the celebrated Gainsborough painting were made public in Chicago.
 When the famous picture was restored were many surmises as to the medium of It's return. William A. Pinkerton, who made the formal announcement of the re- covery of the painting. refused to confirm or deny any of the stories. Now that Worth is dead, Mir. Pinkerton can speak.
 Worth gave him written permission to reveal the Gsinsborough secret after he had died. Wrapped in oilcloth. the can- vas was handed to C. Moreland Agnew one morning last April in Chicago by Worth. who. twenty-five years before had cut the painting from its frame in the Agnew galleries in London. The return of the painting took place in MT. Pinker- tons private office. The owner of the picture hurried back to London for fear the United States authorities would de- nand a custom duty on the Wofk WHICH had been secreted in this country for fifteen years.
 It 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 the Agnew galleries one night, cut the painting from it's canvas and carried 1t away.
 Worth owned a steam yacht, and the canvas was taken aboard and concealed there until he sold the vessel to Lord 1,ansdale. Then he took the picture to Paris and finally brought it to America. where it was concealed for fifteen years. In the meantime Worth was arrested in Brussels and forced to serve seven years.
 Mir. Pinkerton had known Worth for thirty years. Two years ago Mir. Pinker- ton received a telegram telling him that an important letter was at his home. The letter was from Worth. who asked an interview 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 convent. might enjoy the proceeds. Through a hitch, the pic- ture was not recovered at that time. Early last spring he fulfilled his bar Eain.

GERMAN OFFICIAL TALKS
Tells of the Attitude of tho
 European Governments.
British Ambassador at Washington Proposed a Second Collective Note Saying Intervention in Cuba
 Was UnjustiAable.

Berlin, Feb. 6-The oficial British de- nial that Lord Pauncefote. the British Ambassador at Washington. on April iA 1898. made second proposal to the pow CTS to remonstrate with the United States. was today laid before high German of ficial, whose function gives him abso- lute frst-hand knowledge of everything just as it occurred.
 He reafhrmed the statement made in these dispatches yesterday. Referring to his copious notes, he dictated therefrom. to the correspondent of the Associated Press, the following;
 'on February 14. the Spanish conlman- der, at Berlin asked the German Govern- n ent whether Germany was willing to head European movement against the United States in defense of the monar- ohistic principle. The next day the Am bassador was, informed by order of the Emperor that Germany would. under no take. the action desired.
 spain renewed her efforts in March to secure some action by Germany. but she was again answered with a refusal. At the same time Dr. von Holleben was an- structed to only take part in any steps at Washington in the interests of peace if all the other five government powers participated. Then. on April 2, the joint note was handed to President Mckinley.
 we were informed from Washington on April ,4that the British Ambassador there proposed a second collective note declaring that armed intervention in Cuba would be unjustifiabie. Again upon the Emperor's order the German repre- sentatives at Washington. Rome, Vienna and Madrid were instructed that Ger many would refuse to participate in such declaration, as she saw no prospect that anything could be accomplished thereby"
 The correspondent of the Associated Press gets. the impression that while the German Government wishes to avoid the appearance of desiring to fall into the United States arms, on the other hand she regards 1t as important to controvert the wrong impression that Germany was disposed to do any thing unfriendiy to the United States.

RUSSIA E RESPONSIBLE
 a- Forcine ,nina's Hand in
 SsManchuria. OTHER NATIONS PROTEST Provisions of the Proposed
 Bank Agreement. Alleged That Russia is Endeavoring to Gain Her Ends by Means of
 Heavy Duties-Japan's
 Vigorous Fight.

Pekin, Feb. 6.-The British, American and Japanese Ministers here have re- rewed their opposition to the Manchurian arrangements between China and Russia. It is probable that this action win result in the further postponement of the con- summation of this treaty.
 The powers opposing the Manchurian treaty are now beginning to recognize the force of the represe lta.ions of the Chi nese plenipotentiaries that China is mak- ing the best terms possible for herself end incidentally for tho equal rights of the other nations in China, and are shift ing their protests to Russia as the re- sponsible party.
 Paul Lessar, the Russian Minister here, is endeavoring to maintain the transpa- rent diplomatic fiction that the Manchu- rian treaty and the Russo Chinese bank agreement are not related. He has in- formed his colleagues that the Russian Government has no official knowledge of the negotiations of the Russo-Chinese banks. The Russian agents are playing their parts with the greatest regard for appearances, while M. Lessar is arrang- ing the treaty with China.
 The manager of the bank, M. Pocatillo, one of the most able and trusted of the Russian agents in the east, is negotiat- ing the bank agreement with Wang We Shao. In the light of the statements of Chinese officials, which were repeated yesterday, namely, that Russia insists upon the simultaneous signing of the Manchurian treaty and the bank agree ment. the representations of M. Lessar faIl to carry weight
 The native newspapers are filled with stories that Russia is trying to gain her ends by offers of heavy bribes.
 Germany remains disinterested spec tator Of the affair .--,r-,---as-ss.ys-rs.
 Chang Chi Tung, the viceroy of Ham kow, and Liu Kun VI. the Viceroy of Nankin, continue their efforts against the treaty They are cooperating with the Japanese Minister.
 The correspondent of the Associated Press here has seen a drift of the agree ment. This provides that China shall build all railroads and develop all mines in Manchuria. If she is unable to com mand the capital. she shall apply to the bank. If the bank is unable or unwilling to enter into arrangements. China may apply elsewhere for capital. The final clause stipulates that an agreement shall in no wise impair the. rights of other nations, which clause Is palpably nulli- fled by the preceding conditions.
