Under ® o | the circumstances it would seem there- | fore probable that an identical note will be issued by Russia and China, in which they will jointly agree to guarantee the integrity of the Chinese empire, which is in direct line with the present expressed views of the various powers and also the safety of foreign residents and the prop- erty of other nations in the country. Such @ guarantee from some such powerful and re.pulable nation as Russia would carry with it such weight that a refusal to ac- cede to it by the powers would certainly lead up to a most critical international situation and probably a clash of nations.

Cordua walked fearlessly to the garden at the jail. At his own requesi he was not bound and sat in a chair with folded arms. He told Captain Barchara, commanding the firing party, that he was ready and ten bullets struck him. The body was buried near the spot where the lieutenant fell.

Ito Issues a Manifesto. o YOKOHAMA, Aug. 2.—Marquis Ito, formerly Prime Minister, has issued a manifesto setiing forth the alms of his gart)‘. which is called the Constitutional olitical Association, and from the ranks of which’ the next Cabinet will probably be drawn. The manifesto emphasizes the fact that the appointment and dismissal of the Ministers are constitutional pre- rogatives of the sovereign and that when the Ministers are In office it is not per- missible to their party to interfere with the discharge of their duties.

Now that the allied forces have enterea the Forbidden ty the necessity for the maintenance of concord among the pow- st pressing. Yet fears are in- T ing that the strain of conflicting in- terests and ambitions may cause a cleav- age among the nations interested. This danger has been demonstrated already by the individual action of Russia in seizing the present opportunity extend her frontier into Manchuria and the recent in- cident regarding the landing of British troops at Shanghal. While no offici statement is forthcoming as to_the posi- tion of France, in the absence from Paris of those in cont r foreign policy, the following, en associated witn th xpresses the views from an officiai Erench Government, of the Foreign Office at the present juncture: Views of Foreign Office.

The reply made by the United States to Li Hung Changjs re quest for the appointment of an emfissary to act with a view to a settlement and the e blishment of peace receives gen- eral approval here. France will take a similar position, for we must be assured that we are negotiating with a_concrete body, and not with a shadow. While we have special commercial interests in Yunnan and Szechuen, our desire to de- velop that region would be defeated should we act on narrow, selfish ideas there.” The small anti-governmental papers are still barking over the acceptance by France of Field Marshal Count von Wal- er: as commander in chief of the allied in China, and the sincerity of Rus- sia’s friendship is impugned, as these p: pers say that it was Russia that sug- gested Count Waldersee as the comman- der in chief. The Gaulois calls attention to the fact that at _a conference presided over by Prince Bismarck, when outside of Paris, in a discu n as to whether Paris should be taken by assault, Count Waldersee ex- pressed the wish to *“‘see this Babylon en- tirely destroyed.” French Territory Invaded. A serious situation has arisen, accord- ing to reports from Marseilles and Toulon, on ihe French-Moroccan frontier. Troops are said to be massing in grea: numbers in dangerous proximity to the Algerian frontier and Moroccan tribes- men, it is asserted, are ralding French territory. Instructions are said to have been received at the Mediterranean naval station directing the French naval au thorities to prepare to dispatch artillery and stores to Algeria, while orders for contingents of ‘troops from Algeria and "Tunis for the Far East have been counter- manded. In official circles in Paris, al- though it is admitted that the situation needs watching, it is_thought decidedly improbable that the Morocean Govern- ment Intends to conduct hostile operations against Algeria. The commission ayi)palnted to organize fetes at the exposition in order to gal- vanize the show into something like bril- liancy and thus attract visitors an- nounces that two great fetes will be given in addition to the Venetian fdtes already announced. The first will be a fete of flowers, held the first week in September, and thé second will be vintage festivities on the 15th of September. The first will be made the occasion for a gigantic flower show and a battle of flowers. The second will comprise an _exhibition of French wine products and a procession of alle- gorical cars. Although it has been sug- gested that the duration of the exposition be extended, it is officially announced now {hat the gréat show will close on Novem- T 5. Post Cards Seized. The exhibition has given a pretext for unusval license in the display and produc- tion of so-called ‘‘post-cards,” bearing suggestive and in many cases obscene pic- tures. M. Beranger, a life Senator and a leading spirit in the reform movement here, took up the matter, members of the opera corps and ballet representatives having protested that their features were attached to photographs In Indelicate scenes. These cards were openly dis- played in shop windows and on the boule- vards. The police organized a general raid and in one day seized 50,000 ‘“post- cards,” 600 photographs and four muto- scopes on the north bhank of the Selne alone. Similar operations on the south bank are affording an equally good and plentiful harvest. = Ship Maine Reaches China.

NEW EVIDENCE IN-THE SCHARN MURDER CASE Girl Was in the Habit of Receiving a Male Visitor. NEW YORK, Aug. 25.—After seven days something has been found upon which the police may go to work In the Scharn mur- der case. They have iearned that Catha- rine Scharn was in the habit of receiving a male visitor in her flat on _Saturday evenings. Also there is a probability that the girl was strangled with a bedsheet, which has disappeared since the crime ‘was committed, although it was in the flat ;vhera the body of the murdered girl was ound. Celestine and Amma Gretz, two girls who delivered washing at the Scharn flat on the Saturday evening Catherine was mur- dered and had done so on each Saturday night for months, told the police that on three or four different Saturday evenings when they delivered washing a strange man had been in the room with Miss arn.
