A great deal of matisfaction s expressed AL the success which has attended the ne- gottations. The news came as a complete | surprise to the forelgn embassies here. The | opinfon there expressed is that the Anglo- | French arbitration treaty will not affect the previously concluded treaties, such as the Anglo-Japanese treaty, which provides that under certain conditions Great Britain will be obliged to support Jupan In the far enst. The Associated Press learns that the treaty will not positively bind the two powers to arbitrate all questions arlsing, but provides, generally, that whenever possible disputes shall be settled in this pacific manner, either by thelr submission to The Hague arbitration court or their reference to a special tribunal. 1t is acknowledged on all sides that King Edward's influence has largely contributed to the success of the negotlations for the arbitration treaty.

BERLIN, Oct. 9.—The trial of Andreas Dippold, a tutor, who tied Heinz Koch, 14 years old, son of Director Koch of the Deutscho bank, to a bed and whipped him to death, ended today. Dippold was sen- tenced to elght years' nprisonment. While the dead boy's young brother, Joachim, testified to unnamable torture in- flicted on himself and on his brothers, the persons in court were aroused to such a pitch of fury that they cursed and threat- ened the prisoner, who was hastily removed by the officials as lynching was feared. Joachim vowed, and the medical experts agreed, that Dippold was more debased han the London flend who has been termed Jack, the Ripper.” The case commanded intense Interest as a psychological study.

Tillman, vho went on the stand during the last hour yester- | day as a witness in his own behalf, was resumed today He was asked what impression was made npon him by the editorials written by Mr. Gionzales. He replied that they were in- tensely bitter. In reply to question, Till- man said he had been told in a dozen places in South Carolina that he could not come to Columbla and say what he had sald on the stump elsewhere about Mr. Gongzales. Also. he sald it had been reported to him that the opera house in Columbla where he was to speak was to be packed and he was not to be let out alive. He stated, he said, If that threat was carried out it would be the tragedy in South Carolina. Mr. Tillman, giving his version of the shooting, sald he was walking down from the state house after the adjournment of | the state senate. January 15, in company with Senators Talblrd and Brown, the former being on the outside, the latter on the inside. Before reaching the trans- fer station, he sald, he noticed Mr. Gonzales down the street looking at him very intently. He sald he (defendant) had on his overcoat, buttoned. He satd he never took his eyes from Mr. Gonzales and that Gonsales did not take his eyes off him He cald Mr. Gonzales had on an overcoat tightly buttoned, with hands in his pockets, thumbe sticking out. Mr. Gonzaies cut diagonally across in front of him, he said, and the thumb of his right hand disap- | peared In his pocket. He said he thought ! Mr. Gonzales was golng to draw & weapon and he fired first, saying 1 got your ries- sage.” The message, he sald, referred to the statements reported to him by Wit- nesses White and Holzenbuch. These state- ments were to the effect that Gongales had sald he had made Tillman show the white feather twice before and would do It again The defendant said he did not fire a second shiot, as Mr. Gonzales did not draw a plstol On cross-examination the defendant sald he had reason to expect from the moment he saw Gonzales that he (Gonzales) would | | | shoot when they met. He also sald he sent word to Mr. Gonzales to come to the meeting at the opera house In Columbia wnd make his charges and then said he did this s0 he could renly to them.

A large liberal element was pres- ent. The reception of Mr. Ritchie was de- cldedly not hermonious. consisting cheers, hoots and counter cheers for Joseph Chamberiatn, Mr. Ritchle sald that if any cne gxpected to hear a denunciation on his part of his late cabinet colleagues he was happy disappoint them highest motives. Mr. Chamberlain's admin- Istration of the colonial office had been the most successful of the present gemeration. ‘The speaker Jater precipitated a seene of digorder by declaring that Mr. Chamberlain had been finconsistent because he upheld free trade while president of the board of and protection while colonial secre- tary. Could Net Follow Chamberlain, Mr. Ritchie sald that as charicellor of the exchequer he could not consent to a flscal revolution and the overturning of the pol- fey of his conservative predecessors on the strength of the arguments of Mr. Chamber- | lain, “whose strong polfit always was his abllity to presont any scheme he cham- ploned in the most favorable light.” The fobmer chancellor of the éxchequer felt convinced that the present preferen- tial proposals were merely an entering wedge which would ultimately land the country in the same position as Germany, “where food taxes had driven the working- men to soctalism.™ Continuing. Mr. Ritchie asserted that one of the principal questions to be comsldered was the attitude of the United States. This country must try to guard against giving the Unjted States any cause for resentment which would result in its punishing Can- ada. The above statement resulted in fresh disorder on the part of the audience and the singing of “Rule Britannta.” Mr. Ritchie concluded with the state- ment to the effect that he opposed with all hie strength the “new mysterious polley which was ravaging the country like an epldemic.” The wpeaker resumed his seat amid a |scene of disorder and a vote of thanks was ultimately carried amidst boisterons shouts and hooting. Friendly to Chamberlain. The mixed reception given to Mr. Ritchie at Croydon is regarded as an indication that Mr. Chamberiain’s scheme is taking hold of the country and ls fiercely dividing the unionist party. Incidentally | Mf. | Ritehie revealed that he was solely respon- sible for the abolition-of the shilling duty on wheat, He said that Mr. Chamberlain proposed to retaln a duty and give the colonies preference, but the speaker, be- lleving that it was only the beginning of { @ larger scheme of protection, threatened to resign if the duty was not forthwith | abolished Confirming the published accounts of Balfour's concealment of Mr. Cham- Ritchle sald the Lord Balfour of Bur- leigh, Lord George Hamilton and himselt met after both cabinet counclls and de- cided to send In their resignations without having heard a word to the effect that Mr. Chamberialn would resign. That, however, did not affect Mr. Ritchie’s position, be- cause he could not have continued a mem- ber after the publication of the correspond- ence between Mr. Chamberlain and Mr, Balfour. Workingmen Oppose Plan. The congress of the Amalgamated Society of Railway Servants, in session at Peter- borough, representing most of the rallway employes of the United Kingdom, passed a resolution today as follows: Viewing with alarm the proposed fiscal introduced by Mr. Chamberiain and belleving that they would add to the burdens of the workln&clulu and prove ineffectual in serving the puri of im- perial duty, this congress, while viewl With wome concern uny increased export of manufactured goods, considers that before any scheme of retallation is adopted thero should be a thorough inquiry, in which the industrial and commercial classes should be consulted.

Wean, referee in bankruptey. The main fight was over the allegation that the company paid thousands of dol- lars in dividends to favored stockholders during years when the books showed that it was losing $10.00 annually. President James 8. Watson's management was bit. terly attacked. Witness Joan R. Adams, the treasurer, declared that he knew very lttle of the Inner secrets of the corpora- tion.

Russell's sensational high bicycle dive prob- ably caused more people to hold their breath for a longer time than any of the | rest, und the sigh of reliet which went up when the daring performer struck the water could be heard on Farnam street.

For the realm of Quivera is prog- réseive and its grandeur like ita wealth grows marvelously from year to year. 8o it was In the order of things that the coronation of King Ak-8ar-Ben IX and his beautiful consort excel and their majesties exalted as were never before the occupants of this throne.
