THE, MANcHuRIAN QUESTION.
II Has Been Settled Satisfactorily to
the United States.

Washington, July 1.-THE Man
churian question has been settled sat
isfactOrily to this government. AS
surances have been received from the
Chinese government that it will in the

eral ports now closed to the worlds

conveyed formal assurance to the
United States government that it will
not in any way oppose such opening.
While the ports to be opened are not
yet specified, it is gathered from the
communications received that they are
Moukden. the principal inland port Of
Manchuria, and Ia Tung Kao, at the
mouth of the Yalu river The state de-
partment is highly gratified at this out
come, feeling that it has secured not

the commerce of the world, very
substantial gain.

First Degree Murder.

Hamilton, O., July IA verdict of

mornin. The jury had been out since
sos Wednesday evening.
The first ballot on Knapp's guilt is
said to have stood II to /, the second
was to 4, the third 10 to 2, and tne
next II to 1. At midnight the jurors
stopped and amused themselves by
telling yarns and jokes, and at 4
O'Clock they began arguing with the
solitary juror, who finally agreed with
them at 4:30 Thursday morning.
1t is said Juror Warwick was the
Juror who held out for a recommends
ton for mercy, but finally agreed with
the majority
Knapp received the verdict cOolly,
but paled visibly as he heard his
doom. The verdict was a complete
surprise to him, as he felt sure he
would not get death sentence. Only
Wednesday he bet % cents with fell
ow-prisoner at the Jail that he would
escape the death sentence.
A motion for a new trial will be
made. Knapp was on trial for the MUIR
der of his wife. Hannah Knapp.

Tnis is not a gentle word-but when
you think how liable yon are not to pur-
chase the only remedy that has had the
largest sale of any medicine in the
world since 1868 for the cure and treat
ment OF Consumption and Throat and
Lung troubles without losing its great
popularity all these years. you will be
thankful we called Jour attention to
Boschee's German Syrup There are SO
many ordinary cough remedies made by
druggists and others that are cheap and
good for light colds perhaps, but for
severe Coughs, Bronchitis, Oroup-and
especially for Consumption, where there
is difficult expectoration and coughing
during the nights and mornings, there
is nothing like German Syrup. The 25

LOOKS FOR COTTON FAMINE.
Liverpool Merchant Thinks America
Will Soon Consume Its Product.
From the New York Herald.

From the New York Herald.
London, Oct. 30.-Sir Alfred Jones,
K. G. NJ. G., leading Liverpool
merchant and president of the Cham
Der of Commerce Of that city, foresees
the day when America will cease to
supply Lancashise, with cotton and
when the United States may even have
to look to West africa for her own
needs.
Sir Alfred, in an interview, said:
"For three years I have been study
ing this question of producing cotton.
America will soon want all the cotton
she grows. Her population is increas-
ing and her consumption of cotton is
increasing in proportion. About ten
years ago America produced 1000, 600
bales of cotton and Great Britain took
half of it. Now America produces II,
600. 600 and Britain takes no more than
she did ten years ago. This is a fact
that startled me and showed me it
was absolutely necessary we should
stir ourselves and make some effort to
povide supply of cotton from other
sources.
II got seed from America and sent
it out to all the colonies. Then the
British Cotton Growing Association
was started, and the results of the
Associations work have been more
satisfactory than even l anticipated.
The whole of the West African col
onies and the West Indies have beer
made to take deep interest ia the ques'
tion of raising cotton

The Fire in the Vatican.

Rome, Nov. 2.-Inquiry into the
cause of the fire in the Vatican last
night shows that it was accidental,
due either to carelessness in leaving
the kitchen fire Lighted or to the COM
bustion Of acids, which NJ. Marie kept
for the purpose OF his work in making
reproduction of ancient manuscripts
and illuminated books for exhibition
at ST. Louis. The rumors OF incen-
diarism are proved to be altogether
nnfounded.
The Vatican authorities have ez-
pressed satisfaction with the help and
sympathy given by the Italian officials.
Mgre Merry Del Val, Papal secre-
4ary of State, acting under the per
sonal instruction Of the Pope. has
written letter to the commander Of
She Italian firemen, thanking him fol-
the work done in extinguishing the IRE
md enclosing a contribution to the
Viremen's Mutual Assistance League.
The damage caused by the fire has
not yet been precisely estimated, but
it is supposed that it will not exceed
5000. The Pope has ordered an in
crease ia the force of fremen at the
Vatican, in order to be able to face
any situation Of the kind in the future
and to protect the Vatican treasures
