READY TO PAY ALSOP. CLAIM
CHILE DEPOSITS $1,000, 900
WITH HAGUE TRIBUNAL.
To Be Paid the United States
Should Court Confirm the
American Contention.

LONDON, November 23-Dommgo
Cana, Chilean minister to Great Britain
today deposited with the Rothschilds
81 900. 900 to the order of The Hague arbi-
tration court. This sum represents in
round figures the Alsop claim of the
United States against Chile, and the
bankers are instructed to pay the same
to the government of the United States
should the decision Of The Hague tribunal
confirm the contention of the claimant
The announcement that the Chilean
government had agreed to the framing of
q protocol and the submission Of the AL
sop claim to the tribunal at The Hague
for settlement was no surprise in Wash
ington official circles.
The Alsop claim has been pending for
more than thfrty-five years. Chile. at the
conclusion of its war with Bolivia, agreed
with this government to assume all re-
sponsibility for the claims which had
been filed against Bolivia, the then owner
of the territory that Chile won as a re-
suit of the struggle. Representations re-
peatedly made have failed to bring Chile
to the point where 1t would make good Its
pledge. Secretary Knox, 1t is understood
declined to parley further, and Mr.. Daw-
son. the American minister to Chile, was
recalled to Washington only a few days
ago.

Germany's Expenditures for Defense
| Rudolf Cronau. in McClure's.
Occupying the greater portion OF central
Europe, Germany is, in political respects.
the most unfavorably located country In
the world. Nowhere protected by such
natural boundaries as large rivers or high
mountain ranges, which would block the
way of enemies, but easily accessible and
vulnerable on all sides, Germany has been.
since remotest times, the object OF hostile
assaults. For a period Of 400 years the
German tribes were compelled to defend
their independence from the Romans.
Later came the horrible invasions by the
Huns: the piracies of the Mortimer: the
frequent attacks by the Magyars, Mongols
and Turks. During the thirty years war
Germany served as the great battle-ground
for Spanish, Swedish, Italian and Hun
garian troops, who reduced the population
from 100000 to 100000 and made the
country An almost uninhabitable desert
In Saxony, during the two years 1881 and
1892 $4,000 persons were killed or swept
away by sickness. In Wurtemberg over
100000 lost their lives. and cities, 40
towns, Is churches and $4,000 houses were
burned. The Palatinate. having at that
time a population of 10000. suffered =
loss of $4,000. and in some parts or
Thuringia more than 30 per cent OF the
poulation persisted. The seventeenth and
eighteenth centuries brought the frequent
raids by the French. who left the ruins
of hundreds Of beautiful castles on the
Rhine, Mosele and Neckar lasting
monuments of their visits. The beginning
Of the nineteenth century saw the on
slaught of that monstrous adventurer.

inflated as never before. The imperial
mantle was torn into shreds and stamped

ABOUT $4,000. Buildings north and south

vicinity of the building two minutes be-
fore the explosion. The police have de-

Rumor Not Confirmed.
It. was first reported that four men
had been killed in the explosion, but
this is believed to be a mistake. Mas
carl says when he closed his store
shortly after II o'clock last night there
was no one in 1t and if any person
was killed it was some one who had
gone there to touch off the bomb. The
theory that there were dead men in the
ruins was caused by the finding Of some
torn clothing on the sidewalk in front
of the place
The explosion shook every building and
residence in the downtown section. Hun
dreds Of people, aroused from sleep, be-
lieved there had been an earthquake.
The ruins caught fire, but the flames
were quickly extinguished.

NEW YORK, November 23.-George
Croker, youngest son of the late Cali
f0rnia millionaire, Charles c. Croker, is
slowly dying at his home here from an
incurable malady, said to be cancer.
1t was reported earlier in the day that
Mr.. Croker had but few hours to live.
His brother. William H. Croker. said
this afternoon that while the patient was
sinking each day. he did not believe that
death was imminent.
George Croker, who inherited one
fifth Of the $30,000,000 estate left by
his father, has been i'll for a long time.
In the spring of 1908 Mr.. Croker was
operated upon. and while the progress
Of the malady was stayed for time.
the patient for weeks has been grad
ually sinking.
A week ago Mr.. Crocker's relatives
were summoned from California, when
1t was apparent that he could not live
much longer.
Mr.. Croker is about fifty-four years
old His wife died in 1904 from the
same malady with which Mr. Croker
was said to be affected.
Mr.. Croker was a director Of sew

DAVID ALBAUGH DE ARMOND,
Representative Congress from

liams said, in response to the protest
that he made the selection at the request
of Mr.. De Almond.
Later Mr.. De Almond heard of the
statement and went to Mr.. Williams
about it. Mr.. Williams repeated the state.
ment and said to Mr.. De Almond:
You asked me to make the appoint
ment''
This led to positive denial and finally
to blows.
Since the matter has all passed away
Mr. De Almond has said that he believes
Mr.. Williams confused conversations, that
he probably had some such conversation
with Champ Clark instead of him.
Mr.. DeArmond was considered an ex-
ceed1ngly brilliant man. He was espe-
cially strong in his power of sarcasm
The most noted speech he made In Con-
gress was in answer to his own colleague,
U. S. Hall of Missouri.
This was shortly after he entered Con-
gress, and the contest between them was
about the money question, Mr.. Hall un-
dertaking to speak for the democracy of
Missouri and to espouse the cause of the
gold standard. Mr.. DeArmond denied Mr..
Halls right to speak for the Missouri
democracy and assured the country that
he misrepresented them.
The Roberts Case.
Perhaps MS speech next of note in his
congressional career was on the question
Of the right Of Brigham III. Roberts OF
Utah to a seat in Congress. Mr.. Roberts
was charged with being a polygamist and
was not permitted to be sworn in as a
member of Congress-
A committee was appointed to determine
his right to q seat. Mr.. De Almond was
member Of that committee. The ma.
5orfty of the committee decided that Rob.
erts should not be sworn and that he
should not be recognized as a member
Mr.. De Almond and Mr.. Littlefeld Of
Maine took the position that he was en-.
titled as matter of course on the pres
entation of his certificate to take the
oath of Office. and that any charges
against his character should be preferred
against him and the Congress having
power over its own members to pursue its
own course with reference to expulsion
from the body.
Mr.. De Almond served four terms or
the judiciary committee. He was the
ranking minority member on that com.
mittee.

Representative Lloyd of Missouri, one OF

perhaps his closest friend and associate in

anything of this nature outside Of my
own family possibly could. Personally ]
was very fond Of Mr.. De Almond. / re.
garded him as one Of the most lovable
men I ever knew. His character was In
every way above reproach. He had a SUI
preme contempt for the man who was
guilty Of wrongdoing, and especially was
that true toward the man he believed to
be hypocritical.
"He was exceedingly tinid, and aprar-
emily disliked to meet other people. One
needed to know him well to appreciate ms
real merit. The casual observer was likely
to reach the conclusion that he was cold
hearted, but such conclusion was entirely
erroneous. for he was devoted to his
friends"
