The Hevald--Review, E. C. Kiley T J. Austed, KILEY & AUSTED, cditors and Publishers. MINNESOTA. GRAND RAPIDS, - —_ A man never knows how much he really ioves a girl until she rejects him. A scolding wife would doubtless be successful as a railway engineer—she is always on the rail. Eight years ago Slavation Army of- ficers were forbidden by the authori- ties to say “Hallelujah” in the streets of Berlin; today the army meets night- ly in twenty halls in the city. The school children of Jersey City were the principal contributors to the Galveston relief fund there. They gave about $1,100 in money, which is $300 more than the mayor got from all other sources; and they also came to school laden with wearing apparel, canned fruits and vegetables, which when arranged for transportation filled eight trucks, “Music has won more battles than gunpowder,” said a great general. Certainly more flags have been taken by Sousa’s band the past summer than by all our armies in the field. Near- ly every city in Europe has presented Sousa with a civic-banner, and his so- called “American” music, has marched triumphant through camps usually half-hostile to the “States.” May such peaceful victories attend “The Stars and Stripes Forever!” A. R. Julian was a preacher at Chad- ren, Neb., three years ago. In the es- timation of his flock he was doing good work, but was unable to reach his own ideal of what a pastor should be. Therefore he bought a newspaper, which he ran in vigorous, clean style for over two years. And now, feeling confident that his editorial experience has left him better fitted for pulpit- eering, he has sold his paper and will re-enter the ministry. Nothing has been heard of Princess Chimay for a long time, but probably this is due to the fact that her do- mestic troubles are now at an end, and that her husband has forgiven her for her indiscreet adventures with the Hungarian gipsy Rigo. The prince and princess are now in Paris, and the last that was heard of the violinist Rigo was to the effect that he was somewhere in Africa. Photographs of the princess are no longer on sale either in Paris or Vienna, and big sums are consequently offered for the picture of her as she appeared on the Parisian variety stage. There may be much scientific and literary sympathy between nations which are politically uncongenial. There is a current medical proverb in Europe that when a thing is veri- fied on the banks of the Spree, as well as on the banks of the ‘Seine, that is, when Berlin and Paris agree, there must be something in it. So much has been added to our knowl- edge of the physical history of the race by study and experiments in Franee and Germany, that the proverb is worthy to be remembered when the political relations of the two coun- tries are in question. Moreover, it is net best for the world to emphasize the fraternizings rather than the estrangements of the nations? A Swiss factory inspector reports that two years ago a company of workmen objected to an improved ventilating apparatus because it would breed rheumatism. This summer the same laborers refused to go to an- other building because it lacked that ventilating apparatus. Since these men seem to have learned a useful lesson, why not import them to America and distribute them about the country as church janitors? An Ohio minister recently had to stop his sermon while two fainting women were carried out. An investigating stranger afterward (discovered that the janitor had nailed the new memorial windows so that \they could not be opened, because his occasional substitute had a bad habit of trying to air the church! A terrible drama has just been en- acted at Algaiba, in Murcia, a mad prophetess as its central figure.’ She is a young peasant woman of 24, nam- ed Teresa Guillen, who took to pro- phecy and preaching several months ago, and after stirring up many disor- derly pilgrimages was locked up as a religious maniac. A fortnight ago she was allowed to return home, and once more crowds began to assemble, spell- bound by the impassioned ecstasy of he rharangues. She was preaching be- fore a large concourse of people, when five gendarmes arrived to arrest her. The ignorant peasants, worked upon by the wild appeals of the sibyl, at- tacked the police with fury, and in the fight which ensued, four gendarmes were mortally wounded, while sixteen persons in the crowd were seriously hurt. The woman’s father and brother were killed. The people of Kansas are to cele- brate the fiftieth anniversdry of the admission of that state to the Union with an exposition to be held at To- pekd; the capital of the state, in 1904. A strong organization has been formed to perfect the plans. A new silver medal is to be issued to all ranks of all the British service ac- tively empioyed during the operations in South Arica. The medal will be at- tached to a ribbon with an orange center, having narrow navy-blue «stripes of red ESUME “i. NEW Washington Notes. Capt.

For Forty Years He Was a Leader in National Affairs — Extreme Weakness, Duc to Old Age and Several Attacks of Sickness the Immediate Cause of Death—Presi- dent McKinley Issues a Procla- mation Expressive of the Nation's Grief in the Loss of the Distin- guished Statesman—Foreign Min- isters Notified. Washington, Oct. 24. — John Sher- man, former representative in the house, for a long term a member of the senate, and twice holding cabinet positions, died at his residence in this city at 6:45 o’clock yesterday morn- ing in the seventy-eighth year of his age. Death had been expected for some days. The immediate cause was described as incident to extreme weakness due to old age and to several attacks of sickness from which he had suffered for a year and a half. Sev- eral days ago, realizing the critical condition of Mr. Sherman, the mem- bers of the household and relatives here sent telegrams to a large number of the family connections throughout the country. Most of those who ar- rived were at the bedside when the end came. Secretary Sherman's death occurred in the home on K street, which he erected eight years agu. Worth a Million. The secretary was a large holder of real estate in this city. Conservative estimates of his wearth place it at a round million dollars, most of it be- ing Washington real estate. The news of Mr. Sherman’s death was communicated to the state de- partment by E. J. Babcock, for many years private secretary and clerk to Mr. Sherman in his various capaci- ties as secretary of the treasury, United States senator and secretary of state, and at present private secre- tary to Secretary Hay. The president was at once informed by the depart- ment; the flags on the public buildings at Washington were lowered to half- mast, so to remain until after the funeral. The president, as a mark of special honor to the deceased, who was not at the time of his death con- nected in any official capacity with the government of the United States, resorted to the unusual course of per- sonally preparing an expression ot The Nation's Grief, in the shape of a proclamation de- sscriptive of the personal qualities and civic abilities of the deceased statesman. At the state department, also, a message was framed to be transmitted in multiple to the Unit- ed States ambassadors, ministers and charges abroad, officially noti?ying them of the demise of ex-Secretary Sherman. The . department will be closed for business during the funeral services in order to allow the officials and employes to attend in person. ‘The funeral arrangements so far as they pertain to the services in Wash- ington, have been completed. They will take place at the late residence of Mr, Sherman on Wednesday after- noon at 1 o'clock, Rev. Mackay Smith of St. John’s Episcopal church being the officiating clergyman. Immediate- ly after the services the body will be taken to Mansfield, Ohio, where the arrangements for the last sad rites have been left in the hands of Rep- resentative W. S. Kerr and otha friends of the family. Foreign Comment. London, Oct. 24—All the morning pa- pers publish long obituaries and ap- preciation of the distinguished career of Mr. John Sherman. The Times says: “He was a man who, with little help from fortune and none from genius, exercised for many years a commanding influence on the government of his country, and came within a step of the presidential chair.” ’ SAMPSON IS DYING. Pie te Hobson Says He Is Broken-Hearted Over the Schley Controversy. ‘Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 24—During his present visit to his home in Alabama and wherever he has appeared before the public Lieut. Richard P. Hobson has been quoted as saying that Ad- miral Sampson is dying of a broken heart, owing to the Sampson-Schley controversy which followed the naval engagement at Santiago. He is quoted as follow: “When last Satur- day, Oct. 13, I saw in the papers that Admiral Sampson was ill, I took the next train to Boston and spent Sun- day with him. His health is declin- ing. His physicians are baffled at his maladay. His organs are right but his health does not improve. We touched on one or two subjects. For a little while he could not speak. Soon he had to be carried to his room and I did not see him again. Mrs. Samp- son told me that this great man was brooding, was breaking his heart at the thought that his fellow country men were so unkind.” AGAIN THAT OFFER.

STRIKE. President Mitchell Says Are Brighter, Hazictop, Pa., Oct. 24. — President Mitchell, in an interview, practically admitted that the anthracite coal miners’ strike would end as soon as all the operators posted a notice guaran- teeing the payment of a 10 per cent advance in wages until April 1. Pres- ident Mitchell said: The prospect of an early settlement of the coal strike is becoming brighter. Some of the operators have not yet posted notices signifying their willingness to fall in line either with the Reading company or: with the proposition made by the Lehigh Valley company in the Hazle- ton region. If all of them notify their employes by posting notices or other- wise that an actual advance of 10 per cent will be paid each mine employe and guarantee its continyance until April 1, together with the abolition of the sliding scale, I believe that the terms would be accepted by the mine- workekrs. The reduction in powder from $2.75 to $1.50 has confused the minds of the miners, but some of the operators have so fully explained how contract miners could receive the full advance of 10 per cent as well as all other employes that I :believe this Obstacles Can Be Overcome.” Although, as President Mitchell says, the outlook for an early settle- ment of the strike is bright, it is dif- ficult to make a prediction as to when the end will come. Some of the coal companies are showing a disposition not to issue a second notice guaran- teeing the payment of the 10 per cent increase in wages until April. Among these are the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western and the Delaware & Hud- son, the officials of which companies are reported to have declined to issue a supplemental notice. The labor leaders, however, hope that the com- panies will in some way make known that they will guarantee the payment of the advance until April 1. President Mlitchell appeared quite cheerful when he made the announce- ment as above, and his manner indi- eated that the time is near at hand when all the anthracite miners now on strike shall return to the mines. As soon as all the notices guaran- teeing the payment of the advance until April 1 are posted President Mitchell will call a meeting of the national executive board at which it is believed the strike will be declared off. Prospects THE FATE OF OHINA. Deterthined as Regards Basic Ques- tions of Dispute. Washington, Oct. 24. — The recent declaration of an alliance between Great Britain and Germany was con- sidered at a special session of the cabinet summoned by the president. Secretary Hay communicated to the president the Anglo-German agree- ment, and the general impression among the cabinet ministers prevailed that the integrity of the Chinese em- pire and the preservation of com- mercial immunities, defined by the “open door” treaty, are now safely guarded. While there is a disposition to criticise the two foreign govern- ments for framing an alliance which mey be for either offensive or’ pro- tective purposes, as indicated by the third article of the agreement, stat- ing that the two contracting parties reserve to themselves the right to come to a preliminary understanding regarding The Eventful Step to be taken for the protection of their own interests in China,” the convic- tion is now stronger than at any time since hostilities ceased that China’s fate is now determined so far as the basic questions of dispute are con- cerned. President, McKinley left for his home last night with the Chinese question practically decided. It was authori- tatively stated at the state depart- ment that while this government is enjoined by tradition from forming any alliance with European powers, it heartily affirms the position taken by Great Britain and Germany in de- claring against the dismemberment of China and in favor of the preserva- tion of the open ports. Although a covert slap is detected in this alliance at Russia and a resolution to prevent the czar from annexing Manchuria, it is believed here that Russin Will Fall In with the proposition. Italy and Aus- tria, because of their relations to the dreibund, are in accord with the Ger- man plan, while France will also be obliged to bow to the will of. the ma- jority. The real significance of the Anglo-German alliance, as interpreted here, is that it is the most powerful |” combination which can be formed,! and that its decision in relation to Chinese matters must be accepted as final. The cabinet discussed the terms of the reply which this govern- ment will make to the Anglo-German agreement. This is so strongly in ac- cord with the United States’ policy that there can be no ground for dis- sension. It is understood that a for- mal reply will be forwarded congrat- ulating the English and German gov- ernments upon the position they have assumed, and expressing the satisfac- tion with which it is viewed here. Actual peace negotiations will prob- ably be commenced at Pekin within a few days. COOK’S ISLANDS ANNEXED. Made a Part of New Zealand at In- habitants’ Request. London, Oct. 24.—A dispatch to the Times from Auckland says that the earl of Ranfurty, governor of New Zealand, landed at Cook’s islands Oct. | were thrown from the 3, and formally annexed them at the KEEP CHINA INTACT, Great Britain and Germany Form an Alliance. London, Oct. 23. — Germany and England have formed an alliance to maintain territorial integrity of China and to keep ports open. The terms of this agreement, which was arrived at on Oct. 16 between Lord Salisbury and Count von Hatzfeldt, German ambas- sador to England, are officially given out as follows: “The German government and her British majesty’s government, being desirous to maintain their interests in China and their rights under existing treaties, have agreed to observe the following principles regarding a mu- tual policy in China: “First—It is a matter of joint per- manent international interest that the ports on the rivers and littoral China should remain free and open to trade, and to every other legitimate form of eccnomic activity for the people of all countries, without distinction; and the two governments agree on their part to uphold the same for all Chinese ter- ritory, as far as they can exercise in- fluence, “Second — Both governments agree that they will not on their part make use of the present complication to ob- tain for themselves any territorial ad- vantage in Chinese dominion, and will direct their policy toward maintaining undiminished the territorial condition of the Chinese empire. “Third—In case of amother power making use of the complications in China in order to obtain under any form whatever such territorial ad- vantages, the two contracting parties reserve to themselves the right to come to a preliminary understanding regarding the eventual step to be taken for the protection of their own interests in China. “Fourth—The two governments will communicate this agreement to the other governments intefested, 3 cially Austria-Hungary, France, Italy, Japan, Russia and the United States, and invite them to accept the princi- ples recorded in it.” This announcement signifies the most important diplomatie event in almost a generation. It implies far more than its application to the Far Eastern problem. It means nothing less than the readjustment of the bal- ance’ of power in Europe and the world. It is a virtual thunderbolt to France and Russia. It has been be- lieved in Paris and St. Petersburg that Germany secretly desired to use a spe- cial grievance, based on the murder of Baron von Ketteler, to exact terri- torial indemnity from China, and both Russia and France were not unwilling to see this ambition gratified, chiefly because it would offend Great Britain. This note not only dispels this illusion, but proclaims an Anglo-German alli- ance in Far Eastern affairs strictly on the lines of British policy. Meets Approval in Berlin. Berlin, Oct. 23.—An inspired article in the Nerth German Gazette regards the Anglo-German agreement as a “reassuring sign for the peace of the world,” and says that Great Britain, just as ermany does, expressly de- nounces all idea of making use of the complications in China for her spe- cial advantages, and in economic aims adheres to the principle of equal rights for all. YOUTSEY GUILTY. Third Max Implicated in Sheoting Gov. Goebel. Georgetown, Ky., Oct. 23.—‘“We, the jury, find this defendant guilty and fix his punishment at life imprison- ment.” This verdict was returned by the twelve men who were selected to try Henry E. Youtsey, formerly Gov. Taylor’s stenographer, on the charge of being a principal in the shooting of William Goebel. The vote was unanimous that Youtsey was guilty. Then the degree of punishment was taken up. On this question the jury was somewhat divided, but finally agreed on the life sentence. Henry Youtsey is the third man to be found guilty of connection with the shooting of Goebel. Caleb Powers, tried for complicity in the case, was sentenced to life imprisonment, while James Howard, tried on the charge of being a principal in the shooting, was sentenced to death. The defense filed a motion for an arrest of judgment, and Judge Cantrill set it for hearing on the second day of the February term. Therefore Youtsey will not be sentenced until next year. Youtsey was ordered removed to the Frank- fort jail. TURRETS STICK. Battleship Kentucky Is Compelle@® to Turn Back.

Soon after the Kentucky passed the lightship the 18-inch guns were tested. The turrets stuck and could not be turned back to their proper position. REGAIY THEIR CITIZENSHIP.
