Germany and England Have Eyes on | the Yangtse Valley. PARIS, Oct. 25.—There is considerable mystery regarding the health of the French Minister at Peking, M. Pinchon. The French Government has received through the Chinese Minister here a cable | POSTUM CEREAL. SHOWED THE MINISTER And Got Him in Iine. “In = minister’s family in Los Angeles where 1 was vieiting some time ago the wife complained of serious indigestion and dvspepsia. She admitted that she used coffee and sald she more than half be- leved that was the trouble. I told her that I knew it was the trouble, for I had gone through with the experience myself and had only been cured when I left off coffee and took up Postum Food Coffee. “She sald she had tried the Postum both for herself and her husband, but they aid not ltke it. With her permission I made Postum next morning myself, and bofled 1t full fifteen minutes after the real boiling of the pot began. Then when it weas served it was a rich, deep brown eolor and had the true flavor and food value that every Postum maker knows. It is all folly to talk about trying to make Postum with one or two minutes’ steep- ing. Z “You can't get something good for nothing. It must be bofled, boiled, bofled, and to keep it from bolling over use =mall ump of butter perhaps twice the size of & pea. That morning the minister and his wife liked Postum so well that their whole lives were changed on the question of dlet and they abandoned cof- fee at once and for all time. “Now, after & hard day’s work, they are comforted, refreshed, and rested by a cup of well made Postum for supper. They are both enthuslastic in its praise. The wife has entirely recovered from her dys- pepsia. I will not go into the detalls of my own case except to say that I was a desperate sufferer with dyspepsia and dis- covered by leaving off coffee that coffes was the cause of it. I quickly got well when I took up Postum Food Coffee.

BERLIN, Oct, 23.—A high official of the | German Foreign Office asserted this even- | ing that Austria-Hungary and Italy bave expressed their formal adherence to the Anglo-German agreement, but that France, Russia and the United States have not defined thelr positions. The press continues a lively discussion | of the agreement. The Hamburg Corre- | spondent, which is often the mouthpiece | of the Forelgn Office, refers to the sus- picion expressed in some foreign news papers that certain clauses in the agree- | ment are kept secret, and assert§ that no secret clauses st. The Vossische Zeitung, referring to the report that the United States before giv- ing @ final answer wishes Germany and | Great Britain to explain what they mean | by clause three, that is, whether if an- other power selzes territory they intend | to recoup themselves by annexations, and | whether they Intend to prevent seizure by | force, says: “The answer to such a ques- | { tion will probably be that Germany and | Great Britain have not reached a decision | on that point, but intend to decide only after a seizure shall have occurred, sinc the decision must depend upon the’ inter. ests involved.” —— | Harbor Works Leased.

They point out that the object of the agreement is the upholding of the integ- rity of China, without reference to the arrangements ' of the powers regarding the construction of railroads in China. Germany’s Friendship. BERLIN, Oct. 22—Count von Bulow, the Imperial Chancellor, authorized the Associated Press to say that his acces- sion to the Chancellorship will mean no change in Germany’s friendly attitude toward the United States, either politi- | cally or commercially. To-day the Chancellor visited the diplo- matic representatives of the other T man states, and it is said that he will soon make ceremonious visits to the courts of Saxony, Bavaria and Baden.

LONDON, Oct. 24—Replying to re- marks of the Newmarket correspondent of tne Times, who on Monday defended American jockies against Lord Durham's attacks, the earl to-day writes a long let- ter to the Times containing the following extracts: I have never condemned the ‘style’ of Amerftan riding or American training. On the contrary, I share in the respect which all Newmarket trainers feel for the character and abilities of Messrs. Hug- gins and Plncus. Two years ago, in & public speech, I welcomed the advent of Bloan as productive of good rather than | eviL “But T do disapprove the methods of the American jockeys and I do not welcome the influx of their followers. who consider horse racing merely as an instrument for | high gambling.” In glving his reasons for his remarks, Lord Durham emphasized the fact that the latter were made before the Escurials race and_ immediately after Clarehaven e says he does not agree with the decision of the stewards in the Escurials case and considers that they ought to have investigated Lester Reiff’s riding in other races. ““Space forbids,” he continues, “‘an enu- meration of all the Instances of unscru- pulous riding on the part of the Amerl- cans, although I have no complaint against Maher, who rides ve well and seems a most respectable boy.” Proceeding to detall Sloan’s suspensions and reprimands, he observe ‘I don't think it right in the interests of the turf that Sloan should be a prominent buyer st the Doncaster vearling sales or that one of his followers should be the Ameri- can trainer for whom he has been_ en- eavoring to obtain a license at New- market. ‘Martin has twice been disqualified this ear and Rigby was reprimanded at the Liverpool July cup; but the warning has no effect on Rigby's reckless riding. His erformances at Gatwick last week were istinctly dangerous. “S0 much for the prominent American ockeys. 1 prefer an increase of English oys to augmentation of the existing num- ber of Americans if the methods of the latter are to be similar to the methods of those I have named.” Finally, referring to in and out riding, he expressed regret that the stewards did not ask an uglmuon of Spectrum’s run- ning at the July meeting and of Clarehaven's Ca tch. “In the Inter- ests of Mr. Newmann and of honorable W‘hl!na{"' sald Lord sportsmen like Mr. on was emi- Dur(tluna.e"i-ufia an ‘investiga nen rable.

Four Men Under Deed That Brings NEW YORK, Oct. 23.—Police Investiga- tion Into the death of Miss Jennle | Bosschieter of Paterson, N. I., reveals one of the most remarkable and revolting crimes which has ever been brought to light in this section. The police have the | five persons more or less concerned in the affair in custody. From statements and confessions made they have been able to trace the course of the girl from 8:30 Thursday evening until she met death, and the travels of her body afterward are |'also fairly well known. Shortly after 8 o'clock Miss Bosschieter passed Kent's drugstore at Paterson and near it met Andrew Campbell. There was a short conversation and then the pair walked down Malin street. Somewhere en route they were joined by George Kerr, Walter | McAlister and William Death. The four | entered Christopher Saal's saloon. Here drinks were served. | _ Finally one of the men telephoned to the | Erfe station for a carriuge, and August | Schulthors responded. This hackman has been the main source of the police's in- formation and has given a detailed story | of what occurred. It was in the neighborhood of 10 o'clock when the four men lifted the partly un- conscious girl into Schulthors’ rig. It Is alleged that after the hackman had been called one of the men asked for another round of drinks and in‘o that served to the girl poured the contents of a vial that held “knock-out” drops. The men directed the driver to take them to a roadhouse, but they found the place closed and repeated rappings produced no response. The party then started back toward the city. In a lonely spot the hack was stopped and the girl lifted out of it and laid upon a blanket by the roadside. In what fol- lowed the hackman and one of the four, it is sald, had no part. The story is too Te- volting to describe. The hackman claims that he did not leave his seat on the cab. He was unable to say whether the girl was dead or alive when she was lifted back into the cab. He remembers that he was told to drive down by the river bank. Here the girl, apparently lifeless, was lifted out of the cab and her head and face bathed with river water. After a long time spent in trying to revive her the men held a consultation. Their vic- tim was again lifted into the cab and the hackman was ordered to drive lilke mad to Dr. Wiley's house, Dr. Wiley was not at home, and the party hurrled to the res- idence of Dr. Townsend. The physician was aroused and told to come down stairs at once and glve immediate attention to a woman who had been injured. He was told not to wait to dress. He slipped on a bath robe and went out to the carriage door. He felt the girl’s pulse and then stepped back, saying his services were not needed as the girl was dead. One of the men cursed the doctor for a fool and commanded him to revive her. The doctor turned and started back into the house. The men then changed their demeanor and begged him to do somethin, for the girl. Then the doctor aslums them that it was useless, as the girl was dead and beyond help. The carriage then drove away, but came back in a few min- utes and the men urged Dr. Townsend to resort to anything to bring the girl about. He again gfla!ned that the girl was be- yond medical aid. The doctor was offered any amount of money if he would try, but he persisted that it was useless for him to tr_i:. as death had come long before, 'he carrlage then drove away. There was a consultation among the men. One wanted to take the body to the girl's home and leave it there. The other three refused to consider this and insisted on dropping the body on the roadway. It was finally resolved to drive out into Ber- gen County by way of the Thirty-third- 1 POISON A YOUNG WOMAN WHILE PLANNING HER RUIN Arrest for an Atrocious Death to a Pretty New Jersey Girl. street bridge. When the bridge was reached the driver was again ordered to stop. The purpose soon developed. ‘When the triple attack upon the uncon- scious and perhaps dead girl was made a portion of her clothing had been torn off. When the party left the scene of the crime one man had a portion of her cloth- ing in a pocket of his coat and another had the remainder of the garments. When the stop was made at the river bank to bathe the girl's face and head her combs and pins had been removed. Those were in McAlister's pocket. The two portions of the garment and the combs and hair- pins were dropped from the bridge into the Passalc iver. The carriage was then driven a short distance along the road into Bergen County. The spot was decided upon as a good place to drop the corpse. The _body was dragged out of the carriage, but just-then a wagon was heard approaching and one of the men hurled the body back into the cab, exclaiming: ‘For God's sake, drive on! Here comes a carriage!” ¥ The hack went on until & dark spot near Alca's Mills was reached. Another of the men lifted the shoulders, and as the hips reached the sill McAlister dropped the feet and the two men held the body up- right for a moment and then let it go. Tge girl’s body fell backward, the head striking a rock, which crushed the skull. This circumstance, which threw the Ber- gen County authorities off the scent, was not foreseen by the men disposing of the body. The hackman received $10 for his night’s work. This was paid by McAlis- ter, This is the story as detailed by detec- tives. The four men directly concerned in this affair and the hackman are pris- oners. The hackman has told all he knows, and two of the others have con- firmed his story. It is said that Death and Campbell are the two men who told | all and that Kerr has also confessed. Mc- Alister alone is sald to deny the affair as detalled. ‘Walter McAlister is a member of the firm of James McAlister & Co., silk throwsters. George Kerr is a member of the firm of J. P.

LEGAL TANGLE WILL SAVE HIIT FROM THE GALLOWS Trial Judge Dies During the Reprieve of Lud Madison, Convicted of Murder. HICAGO, Oct. 22.—A sepcial to the Record from Wheellng, W, Va., gays: Just a year ago the Circuit Court of Fayette County, Judge Montgomery presiding, sentenced Lud Madison, colored, to be hanged January 14 in the State penitentiary at Moundsville for the murder of another negro. Two days before the date of the execution Gover- nor Atkinson issued a respite for nine days. The Judge who sentenced him dled before the reprieve expired. Two week's ago Madison's case was forced upon the authorities by a report of it to Governor Atkinson. The Governor decided that the Judge being dead and the time for resentence having passed no one can now resentence Madison. Further, the date of legal death having passed Madison caunot be hanged on the original sen- tence. As he was never sentenced to imprisonment he cannot be kept in the penitentiary, o Madison will probably be released in a few days. | tinuous transportation | ana Japan | ticipates | terested in Mr. CHANGE IN CONTRO L | OF PACIFIC MAIL E.

Identified with Mr. Harriman In this new big deal—one of International significance—is Willlam K. Vanderbilt Sequels soon to follow will have far reaching consequence. Under Mr. Huntington's direction the Pacific Mall Steamship Company was"a tender to his Southern Pacific interests; its operations subordinate to Mr. Hunting- ton’s great rallway systep. In its new contro! the company will have scope never hitherto contemplated. The acquisition of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company | makes possible the immediate accomplish- ment of Mr. Vanderbilt's cherished plan of a continuing transportation system— virtually under one management—from the Atlantic through to the Pacific Coast and thence direct to the Far East.
