Deadlock Over
Shantung Issue
Near Settlement
American Officials to Confer.
ence Confident That Agree
ment Between China and
Japan Will Be Reached.
BY GRAFTON WILCOX.

ChiceGo Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire
Washington. Jan. 9.-American
conference o.cials confidently pre-
dicted today that the deadlock over
Shantung would be broken. They
said they could not conceive that
the japanese and Chinese states
men here would find it impossible
to reach all agreement, particularly
when they are so nearly in agree
mcnt on terms for the restoration
of Shantung to China.
What is believed to be going on
behind the scenes is series of in
formal conferences in which Mr..
Hughes. Mr.. Balfour, and others
have been persuading the Japanese
and Chinese to make further con-
cessions. Ii is indicated that the
Chinese delegates will accept the
final japanese proposal with some
notifications.
As the situation stands, Japan has
offered to give up all public prop
critics in Kiaochow except a few
buildings for use of consulate to
be established in Using Tao. mar
ket structures, etc. Other proper
ties upon which the Germans spent
millions Of marks and upon which
Japan has also expended much are
to be turned over to China without
cost.
Japan has also offered to give to
China wharvese and WAREHOUSES;. cs-
tinlated to be worth $4,000, COO gold
marks, claiming only indcn,nification
for the cost of permanent improve
ments made by Japan.
Under the German regime, the
German language was used in the
customs administration and the Gus
toms were administered by Germans.
Japan now offers to make the Tsing
Tao customs in every respect an
integral part of the Chinese customs,
asking only the Japanese traders,
some of whom are small merchants
and cannot speak or write Chinese or
the English, communicate with the
customs administration in the Jap
anese language.
There are in China, three kinds Of
railways: Full concession railways
like the Chinese Eastern, which is
Russian; the South Manchurian,
which is Japanese, and the Shantung
railway. also Japanese; foreign loan
railways and full Chinese railways.
Japan believes that it is legally en-
titled to have the Shantuh9 railway
on the same footing as the Germans
had it, hafing succeeded to all Ger
man rights in Shantung.

"VAMPS" WHO
MADE HISTORY
By JAMES c. YOUNG.
THE WOMAN WHO KILLED A
GENIUS.

a NY one in the least familiar With
"A the writings of Honore de Bill
FAC, perhaps the greatest novelist OF
France. must have been stirred by the
white heat of his Imagination. just
conceive such a man at the age OF
thirty-three, on the tide of his first sue
cess. He was being acclaimed every
where. Letters poured in from admir-
ers. Among these was a simple mis-
sive signed 1.-THE Stranger" mailed
from Odessa. A woman had written it.
In this letter the unknown invited
Balzac to answer her through a news
paper advertisement. Eagerly he did
so, and soon another letter came. The
writer was Evelina Hanska, the young
wife of a man twenty-five years older,
and mistress of "a great fortress-llke
castle in the Ukraine, Russia. The
burning words of Balzac drew her to
Neufchatel. Picture to yourself how
both must have felt before and after
they met. She was tall, elegant, high
born. He was fat, short and not hand,
some. He says himself that she drew
back astounded when h saw him.
But IL was not long until the woman
saw In the mans remarkable eyes the
genius which was his. They loved and
parted. she returning to her lonely
castle and he to endless work.
Certainly the love Of Balzac must
have been a tribute which plea sed the
fancy of Evelina Hanska. But her
heart seems to have been as cold as
her castle walls. The two correspond
ed, and she toyed with the great man.
There was her husband, whom she
would not leave. Balzac assented and
saw her at %infrequent intervals over
a period of years.
For seventeen years Balzac's devo
ton endured. Nine. Hanska's coquetry
was the great sorrow of his life. Then
the husband died. She wrote to him
and he went off to that bleak Russia
where she lived. Again there We're
delays. She would promise nothing.
He came back to Paris and after more
letters again started for Russia. II
was in March, 1850, that he arrived.
MS nehrt dlllosl coISedlSu ny 'hV S"i"'
And at last his evil genius consented
TO bestow upon him the happiness he
had sought so long. They were mar
ried and started for France in April.
But Balzac was nea the end. In
Dresden he fell seriously i'll. She went
out shopping and returned with a Won
drous string of pearls.
But Balzac rallied and they went on
to Paris. There he had prepared a
rare home for her, filled with art treas
ures. He, at least, was happier than
he ever had been. She revelled in the
Paris shops. Five months later Bal
FAC died, a victim of the Russian cold
on a weakened heart. When the end
came his wife "had gone to her room."
