CHINA'S mo" TO ENGLAND
Declines to Negotiate New
Treaty Regarding Tibet.

Picking. Dec. 24-China's reply to the
recent note of Great Britain calling upon
China to come to an agreement with her
regarding Tibet was delivered yesterday
TO the British Minister here. 1t Is courte-
Gus in tone. but firmly declines to nego-
tate a new treaty. II cites the Anglo
Tibetan agreement of 1905 under which
Great Britain agreed not to interfere In
the administration OF Tibet or annex her
territory China undertaking to prevent
other nations from doing the same. 1t
points out that the agreement also pro-
vided that China must police the trade
routes in Tibet and protect communica-
lions.
The note insists that China has properly
regarded all her obligations. China has
found it necessary. II says, to send large
numbers of troops into Tibet to do po-
lice duty. but the Chinese government
sees no necessity for Great Britain to
send troops there from India. 1t explains
that IL Is as much to the interest Of China
as TO England to maintain the present
status OF Tibet.
Regret Is expressed in the note that the
Indian government should close all the
roads between China and Tibet by way
of India, declaring that such an act Is
rarely resorted To except between nations
at war. 1t regrets Great Britain's threat
not 10 recognize the new Chinese Repuo-
lie. saying that recognition would be
mutually advantageous.

SAD CHRISTMAS IN VIENNA
Nation Is Under Arms and in No
Mood to Spend.
fRv Cable TO The Tribune. !


Vienna, Dec. 24.-With several thou
sands Of husbands, fathers and broth
ers camped along the Servian and
Montenegrin frontiers. at daily cost
to the Dual Monarchy approaching 81
100000, it is small wonder that the
Viennese are in poor humor to oeie-
brate Christmas. For the storeKeepers
this is certainly a black Christmas.
Not for years have trade conditions
been so deplorable.
With the shadow Of war hanging
over the nation. nobody. rich or poor,
is inclined to spend much money. Vi
ennas store windows never were more
attractive. but all the beautiful ana
artistic wares displayed fail to draw
business, for there is none. jewelers.
complain that the takings are infinitesi-
NAL and dealers in bronzes, leather
goods pictures and fine china are
eoually disconnected. Even the trades
dealing in necessaries, such as food and
clothing, report receipts at less than
half those Of a normal Christmas sea-
son.
Though the prospects of peace are
brighter and the reservists probably
will shortly be disbanded and per-
mltted to rejoin their families, there
is little hope that the business men
will be able to recoup themselves. The
advanced age of the Emperor has re-
duced all court festivities to a mini
mum and there will be no court balls

APPROVAL OF HOMICIDE
French Judges Remarks in
Bloch Trial Amaze Paris.

Paris. Dec. 2f-Considerable amaze
ment is expressed by the French press
to-day. not at the judgment acquitting
Nine. Bloch yesterday for killing Mrs.
Minnie Bridgeman. of Milwaukee. but at
the practical sanction given by the court
of the right to kill" The theories pro-
claimed by Judge Bertulus and Public
Prosecutor Fourier during the hearing
are unhesitatingly condemned by the con-
servative section Of French newspaper
writer's. who find the doctrines laid down
by the court imprudent and dangerous to
society.
While several writer's declare ironically
that young women at last have been
taught "the real rights of the WIFE" lie
Temps" after criticising the Judges re-
marks, especially condemns the utter
ances OF the Public Prosecutor whom il
quotes as saying that Nine. Bloch's VIC
tim was all picked out for her and that
that victim was her husband. III she
had only shot him We should only bow
our assent"
II such law is preached in the French
courts, comments lie Temps it only re-
mains now to place a revolver among the
gifts to bridal couples, for the slightest
suspicion, however unjustifed, will right
fully expose the husband TO a lively fusil-
lade.
Although the acquttal OF Nine. Bloch
caused little surprise, the doctrine laii
down by the court officials has become
great theme OF discussion in Paris, while
the Judges remark that "a wound caused
by jealousy always heals" has become
the subject OF lively debate III cluos'
newspapers and private circles.

ties of the imperial city of India busily
number Of persons have been arrested on
suspicion of participation in the outrage.
In the course Of the investigation 1t
has been proved that some 10 people
were gathered at the back OF the prem
ises from which the bomb was thrown.
In the vicinity also was a very thick
crowd composed of natives. There was
an immediate scramble after the explo-
sion of the bomb and confusion prevailed
everywhere.
No special police arrangements had been
made for the occasion. and only the ordi-
nary native police commanded by British
officers, were on duty in the streets
Scores of theories are abroad In regard
TO the affair, the most frequently eX-
pressed being that the attempted assas-
sination was the work of Bengalee who
was trying to avenge what he considered
the insult OF the removal Of midas capital
from Calcutta to Delhi. The transfer OF
the imperial headquarters to the ancient
city of the Moguls has certainly aroused
an extended feeling of unpopularity In
many places
A close examination OF the howdah IN
which the Viceroy and Vicereine were
seated when the missile was thrown al
them shows how narrow was their es-
cape.
The high back OF the howdah, which
was made OF hardwood and against which
the Viceroy was reclining, was wrecked
bv the splinters Of metal, many OF which
struck the native umbrella bearer stand
ing behind and which hurled him dead to
the ground.

it contained large number of screws ana
