fences at Beaumont

Montreal, May 15-The Dominion government is
about to spend more than 100000 in improving the
defences of Quebec. ThCee years ago, when Colonel
Strange, British inspector OF Artillery was in
Canada, he pointed out the inadequate fortihca-
tons and recommended among other things the
erection Of forts along the south shore of the St
Lawrence in order to prevent ships of war from
reaching the harbor of Quebec. Since then negota-
lions have been going with the imperial gov
eminent with the result that two forts will be
built at Beaumont, nine miles of Quebec on

MORGAN H[[DS
CHINA S THREAT
Financier Offers to Sell
Concession for Railway
From Canton to HankoW
Special Dispatch to The calL

CALL BUREAU, POST BUILpING.
WASHINGTON, June 6.-As a result of
China's declared intention either to buy
in or annul the concession it gave to
the China-American Development Com
pany for the construction of a railway
from Canton to Hankow. ]. Pierpont
of the stock of that corporation, has
offered to sell the concession. Sir Cheng-
tung Liang Cheng, the Chinese Minister,
is now In New York City engaged in
negotiations looking to this end with
Elihu Root, representing Mr.. Morgan.
Although the State Department has
had no word from the concessionaires,
it has recently reviewed the facts in
the case and stands ready to protect the
interests of American citizens. The de-
termined attitude of the Chinese Gov
ernment, which has given rise to feel
ings of apprehension in Berlin, is well
known TO the Washington Government.
WI Ting Fang. then Chinese Minis
ter in Washington, concluded the con-
tracts given to the China American De-
velopment Company. embodying a con-
cession to build railway from Canton
to Hankow Former Senator Brice of
Ohio was at first the dominating in
fiuence in the company. Upon his death
it became disorganized. Up to the pres
ent time only thirty-two miles of
branch track have been built. While the
distance to be covered by the railway
within q period soon to expire was
more than seven hundred miles.
Under the terms or the agreement
China paid 20 the company Chinese
bonds at 90 10 an amount equiv
;ilent to the Conlpany's exDendi-
ture. 1t was stated at the Chinese lega-
ton that S6,00o.000 OF Chinese bonds
were thus received by the company,
which disposed of S..noo.00O OF them
The other s4.0O0,000 is understood to
b. now neld by Morgan. Two years ago
Relgfan financial interests gained a
majority of this stock of the company,
whereupon the Chinese Government de-
clared its intention to annul the con-
cession, which, the original agreement
stipulated. should be good only as long
as held by American interests.
The Chinese Government became dis
satisfied because the company would
not show it's books and threatened ac-
tien which forced Morgan's offer to
sell.

Fourteen Year-Old Heir to
$30.OOO,OOO Is Confined
to His Bed by an Accident
THRICE OPERATED UPON
Lads Illness Aggravated
by Grief Over Recent
Death of Foster Father
Special Dispatch to The cam

NEW YORK, June 6.-William Zieg-
Ter, the 14-year-old adopted son OF the
late William Ziegler. who sent two ex-
petitions to find the North Pole and
who left to this boy $30,O00,o00, is still
an invalid in the mansion which looks
out over the Sound on the big estate
five miles from Stamford. Conn. Since
April 1. when young Ziegler met with
distressing accident. he has not left
his bed. Six weeks ago he had only
a bare chance to survive an operation
performed by one of New York's best
known surgeons. To-day the boy, al
ways vigorous and strong, is wrath
of the sturdy young fellow who started
a pillow fight on April 1 in his fathers
home which since has taken him to the
operating table on three different oc-
caSionS.
Ziegler has been told that he will
some day be a healthy man. His bed
is moved to a window. from which he
can see the schooners and steamers
which ply Long Island Sound. He was
more interested in game of back
CANNON with a nurse a few days ago
than with what his adopted father had
left him when he was told the contents
of the late Ziegler's will.
He always looked for the daily visits
of the foster parent, who spent hours
at MS De0SlQe. Wl6u tOlQ ludt 6iS6-
Ter was dead his grief aggravated his
illness and for several days his ply
sicians saw little improvement in his
condition.
The boy, who will have an income OF
$1,000.000 year, has been brought up
to understand that he was the son OF
the man who fitted out polar expedi-
tions. His books are volumes dealing
with adventure in the Far Northern
seas. He has been made to under
stand that 1t was always his fathers
wish to have one of his expeditions To-
cate the North Pole. This the elder
Ziegler talked into him when the boy
was free from pain, subsequent to op-
erations. That the youth will some day
take up the work left by the father
there is no doubt in the minds of
friends of the family.
