Response of the United States tt the Note on the British-Ger- man Agreement. CAS SEEN SENT TO EACH NATION. The I nlted States. While Folly In Accord U llh Knulxn.l and Car- ninny on the Two Flrnt Clauses. Does >ot Feel t olled I pon to Ex- press nn tlpinloo on the Third. Washington. Nov. 1.—The state de- partment makes public the British- German agreement respecting the maintenance of the “open door" and territorial integrity of China, with the answer of the Cntted State* gov- ernment. sent in duplicate to each of the principals to the nrreeinent: Mr. Hoy to Lord I’aonerfotr. Department of State. Washington, Oct. 2k, 1900.- Kxcellency—I have the honor to acknowldepe the receipt of your note of the 22d of October, in- closing the text of an ugreemnt be- tween Great Britain and Germany re- lating to affairs in China, which was signed in London, on the 16th in- stant.by the marquis of Salisbury and the German ambassador on behalf of their respective governments, and in- viting the accepinnce by the I’nited States of the principles recorded in that agreement. These principles are: “I—It is a matter of joint and permanent international interest that the poits on the rivers and littoral of China should remain free and open to trade aDd to every other legitimate form of economic activity for the nationals of all countries without distinction, and the two gov- ernments agree,,on their part, to up- hold the same for all Chinese terri- tory so far as they can exercise influ- ence. “II—Her Brittanic majesty’s gov- ernment and the imperial German gov- ernment will not, on their pan, make use ot the piesent complication to ob- tnin for themselves any tenitory advantages in Chinese dominion, and will direct their poliov toward main- taining undiniinishcd the territorial condition of the Chinese empire.” The United States have heretofore made known their adoption of both these principles. Ihiring the last year this government invited the powers interested iu China to join in an expression of views and purposes in the direction of impartial trade with that country, and received satis- factory assurances to that effect from 11 of them. When the recent trou- bles were at their height, this govern- ment, on the iid of July9 once more made an announcement of its policy regarding impartial trade and the in- tegrity of the Chinese empire, and bad the gratification of learning' that all the powers held similar views. And since that time the most gratify- ing harmony has existed amo'ffg all the nations concerned us to the ends to be pursued, and there has been lit- tle divergence of opinion as to the details of the course to be followed. It is, therefore, with much satis- faction that the president directs me to inform you of the full sympathy of this government with those of her Brittanic majesty and the German emperor in the principles set forth in the clauses of the agreement above cited. The third clause of the agreement provides: 111 In ease of another power making use of the complications in China in order to obtain under any form whatever such territorial ad- vantages, the two contracting par- ties reserve to themselves the right to come to a preliminary understanding as to the eventual steps to be taken for the protection of their own in- terests in China.” As this clause refers to a reciprocal arrangement between the two hig'h contracting jniwers, the government of tlie l nited States does not regard itself as called upon to express an opinion in respect to it. I have, etc. | Signed ] JOHN HAY, (A similar note mutatis mutandis, was addressed on the same dav bv the secretary of state to the imperial German charge d’affaires.) TRANSFERED TO LONDON. D. H.

Itirral Persona Reported Missing IIii.f Mum n I'p, Thus Reducing the Supposed Casualty l.lst—ll»n- gerous Walls Ordered to be Torn Dot. a. New York, Nov. 1.—The work of searching the ruins of buildings wrecked by the explosion in Tarrant & Co.'s drug house, on Monday, is be- ing prosecuted steadily. The force of men at work numbers 800.

Halsey, employed by Mr. Barnes, who were reported missing, have been found. Mr. Barnes says that the “Francis Barnes,’’ egg eandler. re- ported missing, is probaly a fictitious person. He says he had made inquiries, and can find no trace of any such person, and believes that his name was confused with the other. If this is true, the list of missing is thus re- duced by three.

Nov. 1.—The marquis ot Lansdowne's elevation to the foreign secretaryship, according to the an* nouncement in the newspapers, has, figuaratively speaking, taken the country's breath away. It was as unexpected as it is unwelcome. Even the staunchest ministerial mouth- piece among the afternoon newspa- papers openly condemn it. The Globe declares the appointment only shows that Lord Salisbury is completely out of touch with the feel- ings and wishes of tuc electorate and the conservative party, while the lib- eral Westminster Gazette, crowing ever the discomfiture of the minis- terial newspapers, which have been so loudly demanding the retirement of Lord Lansdowne, expresses relief at the fact that Mr. Joseph Chamber- lain was not given the post, saying: "The latter’s appointment would have filled thoughtful people with dis- may, and it is something to have es- caped this serious danger.” Lord Salisbury, apparently, ar- ranged matters with the queen at Hal- moral. a week ago. His lordship's own inclination was to resign the premier- ship and devote himself exclusively to the foreign office. He wrote her maj- esty to this effect, but she declined to accept the suggestion. Lord Salis bury, therefore, went to Halmoral to discuss the question, with the result that the queen carried her point. Public anxiety is. to some extent, relieved by the conviction that Lord Salisbury's experience will still be available to direct the broad lines of policy of the prospective foreign min- ister. CHARGED WITH BLACKMAIL. Three Persona Connected With the Wall Street Press Held on a Serious Charge. New York, Nov. 1.—Leonard Wat- son, counsel for and assistant man- ager of the Wall Street Press; John Evans, president of the paper, and herdinand G.

Morgan says that Gardiner came to him, several days ago. with a proof of an article which he threatened to publish in the Wall Street Press if he (Morgan) did not pay $1,500. Mr. Morgan says he denounced the arti- cle as libellous and finally ordered Gardiner out of his office. On the following day, Mr. Morgan asserts. Watson and Evans called and repeated the demand. He then agreed to pay them $1,500 and he as- serts that the defendants accepted a marked $500 bill on account. The ac- cused were held in $2,000 bail each for examination November 9. SPENDTHRIFT CASTELLANE. George J. Gould Appointed Trustee for Ilia Slater by the Parla Civil Tribunal. Paris, Nov. 1.—The civil tribunal has appointed George J. Gould trustee for the countess of Castellane, his sister.

The proceedings were conducted in secret session, only the bare deci- sion being announced. The Castellanes are now staying in the country together. ADMITTED HIS DEFEAT. Gen. Botha. However.

Washington. Nov. 1.—The state de-

partment makes public the British- German agreement respecting the maintenance of the “open door" and territorial integrity of China, with the answer of the Cntted State* gov- ernment. sent in duplicate to each of the principals to the nrreeinent:

Mr. Hoy to Lord I’aonerfotr.

Department of State. Washington, Oct. 2k, 1900.- Kxcellency—I have the honor to acknowldepe the receipt of

your note of the 22d of October, in- closing the text of an ugreemnt be- tween Great Britain and Germany re-

lating to affairs in China, which was

signed in London, on the 16th in- stant.by the marquis of Salisbury and the German ambassador on behalf of their respective governments, and in- viting the accepinnce by the I’nited States of the principles recorded in that agreement.

These principles are:

“I—It is a matter of joint and permanent international interest that the poits on the rivers and littoral of China should remain free and open to trade aDd to every other legitimate form of economic activity for the nationals of all countries without distinction, and the two gov- ernments agree,,on their part, to up- hold the same for all Chinese terri- tory so far as they can exercise influ- ence.

“II—Her Brittanic majesty’s gov- ernment and the imperial German gov- ernment will not, on their pan, make use ot the piesent complication to ob- tnin for themselves any tenitory advantages in Chinese dominion, and will direct their poliov toward main- taining undiniinishcd the territorial condition of the Chinese empire.”

The United States have heretofore made known their adoption of both these principles. Ihiring the last year this government invited the powers interested iu China to join in an expression of views and purposes in the direction of impartial trade with that country, and received satis- factory assurances to that effect from • 11 of them. When the recent trou- bles were at their height, this govern- ment, on the iid of July9 once more made an announcement of its policy regarding impartial trade and the in- tegrity of the Chinese empire, and bad the gratification of learning' that all the powers held similar views. And since that time the most gratify- ing harmony has existed amo'ffg all the nations concerned us to the ends to be pursued, and there has been lit- tle divergence of opinion as to the details of the course to be followed.

It is, therefore, with much satis- faction that the president directs me to inform you of the full sympathy of this government with those of her Brittanic majesty and the German emperor in the principles set forth in the clauses of the agreement above cited.

The third clause of the agreement provides:

111 In ease of another power making use of the complications in China in order to obtain under any form whatever such territorial ad- vantages, the two contracting par- ties reserve to themselves the right to come to a preliminary understanding as to the eventual steps to be taken for the protection of their own in- terests in China.”

As this clause refers to a reciprocal arrangement between the two hig'h contracting jniwers, the government of tlie l nited States does not regard itself as called upon to express an

opinion in respect to it. I have, etc.

Dot. a.

New York, Nov. 1.—The work of searching the ruins of buildings wrecked by the explosion in Tarrant & Co.'s drug house, on Monday, is be- ing prosecuted steadily. The force of men at work numbers 800. About 4

a. m. a fresh outburst of fire oc-

curred at Warren and Greenwich streets, stopping for some time the work of clearing away the debris.

scalp wound by the tailing of a part of the wall.

James Lodolee, 15 years old, who was reported missing, has been found. He sai»l he had been visiting triends.

Ira C. Barnes, an egg dealer, and Wm. Halsey, employed by Mr. Barnes, who were reported missing, have been found. Mr. Barnes says that the “Francis Barnes,’’ egg eandler. re-

ported missing, is probaly a fictitious person. He says he had made inquiries, and can find no trace of any such person, and believes that his name

was confused with the other. If this is true, the list of missing is thus re-

duced by three. Fredrick Thomas,who was employed

as boot black in 28B Greenwich street, and was reported among the missing, has made his appearance.

Berlin, Xov. 1.—The Cologne Ga- zette, confirming the press dispatch of October :;9, authoritatively denies the stories of Germany’s conitemplat- ed lease from Venezuela of a coaling station at the island of Margarita, and adds:

THE UNEXPECTED HAPPENED.

The Elrmllnn of the Marqula tvf

I.iniilnnnr to the Krttiah For*

elan Secretorychip.

London. Nov. 1.—The marquis ot

Lansdowne's elevation to the foreign secretaryship, according to the an*

nouncement in the newspapers, has, figuaratively speaking, taken the country's breath away. It was as

unexpected as it is unwelcome. Even the staunchest ministerial mouth- piece among the afternoon newspa- papers openly condemn it.

The Globe declares the appointment only shows that Lord Salisbury is

completely out of touch with the feel- ings and wishes of tuc electorate and the conservative party, while the lib- eral Westminster Gazette, crowing ever the discomfiture of the minis- terial newspapers, which have been so loudly demanding the retirement of Lord Lansdowne, expresses relief at the fact that Mr. Joseph Chamber- lain was not given the post, saying:

"The latter’s appointment would have filled thoughtful people with dis- may, and it is something to have es-

caped this serious danger.” Lord Salisbury, apparently, ar-

ranged matters with the queen at Hal- moral. a week ago. His lordship's own

inclination was to resign the premier- ship and devote himself exclusively to the foreign office. He wrote her maj- esty to this effect, but she declined to

accept the suggestion. Lord Salis bury, therefore, went to Halmoral to discuss the question, with the result that the queen carried her point.

Public anxiety is. to some extent, relieved by the conviction that Lord Salisbury's experience will still be available to direct the broad lines of policy of the prospective foreign min- ister.

CHARGED WITH BLACKMAIL.

Three Persona Connected With the Wall Street Press Held on a

Serious Charge.

New York, Nov. 1.—Leonard Wat- son, counsel for and assistant man-

ager of the Wall Street Press; John Evans, president of the paper, and herdinand G. Gardiner, an employe, were defendants in the police court on the charge of blackmail. The complianant is C. W. Morgan, a bank- er and broker.

Morgan says that Gardiner came to him, several days ago. with a proof of an article which he threatened to publish in the Wall Street Press if he (Morgan) did not pay $1,500. Mr. Morgan says he denounced the arti- cle as libellous and finally ordered Gardiner out of his office.

On the following day, Mr. Morgan asserts. Watson and Evans called and repeated the demand. He then agreed to pay them $1,500 and he as- serts that the defendants accepted a marked $500 bill on account. The ac- cused were held in $2,000 bail each for examination November 9.

SPENDTHRIFT CASTELLANE. George J. Gould Appointed Trustee

for Ilia Slater by the Parla Civil Tribunal.

Paris, Nov. 1.—The civil tribunal has appointed George J. Gould trustee for the countess of Castellane, his sister. According to the pleadings in the case her husband, Count lioni I)e Castellane, spent 23,000,000 francs in four years, whereas his income from his wife's fortune is only 3,000,000 francs.

The action in the case was the re- sult of a suit brought by Mr. Gould against his sister. The court granted his request and appointed him trus- tee. The proceedings were conducted in secret session, only the bare deci- sion being announced.

The Castellanes are now staying in the country together.

ADMITTED HIS DEFEAT.

Gen. Botha. However. Can Not Treat for Surrender While the Burgh-

er» With to Klmlit.

London. Xov. 1.—A belated dis- patch from Pretoria tells of the fail- ure of the British negotiations with Gen. Botha for the surrender of the Boers. Botha received Gen. Paget’s flag of truce courteously and admit- ted his defeat, but said it was impos-, sible to treat for surrender as long as

any burghers wished to continue the war.

President Steyn was more irrecon- cilable. He refused to even see the bearer of a flag of truce.
