ASKS GREAT BRITAIN’S AID

 

Enid tlmt England \Vill Insist 'on a
Concussion of Territory—Views of
Senators Teller and Frye on the

Annexation of Hawaii.

Berlin, Germany, Jan. 5.-—-The ’Co—
logne Gazette, on authority from the
best—informed quarters in Paris, an-
nounces that since Thursday last im-
portant negotiations have been ,pro-
ceeding in London for a Chinese loan,
the attempts made in Paris and St. Pe-
lcrsburg to arrange a
failed. .

China offered to contract for £16,-
000,000 in London, at ,the same time
asking the good offices of the British

' Govermnent. China contemplates of.
fering as security the land tax. under
the control of Englishmen, and that an
Englishman shall succeed Sir Robert
Hart as Director of the Chinese Impe-
rial Maritime Customs. In addition,
Great Britain will insist upon a. con-
cession of territory, relative to which
secrecy, according to the informant of
the Cologne Gazette, must‘be tempora-
rily observed.

The Cologne Gazette adds that it is
understood Russia has renewed her of-
fer to China to conclude a loan in
Germany on more favorable terms than
obtainable in Paris or London.

 

The Situation at Peking.

Peking, China. Jan. 5.—The Ministers
and the Tsung—li Yamen (Chinese For-
eign Office) spent the whole of one
night in discussing the deposition of
the Chinese commandant of T‘sao—
Chou, province of S'han-Tung, who is
accused of having used threatening
language to a German missionary. The
commandant has not been summoned
to Peking for examination, as previous-

ly cabled, the difficulty having been
smoothed over.

The general situation remains un-
changed. Hostilities are feared. The

German Minister, Baron Von Ileyking,
is understood to be temporizing until
the arrival in China of Prince Ilenry
of Prussia.

INTEREST OF THE UNITED STATES.

 

 

Situation in China. an Arglng-nt for
Annexation of Hxnvnii. '
\Vashington, Jan. 5.—Thc develop—
.icnts in the East are having consider—
able effect upon the members of Con-
gress. especially in regard to the an-
nexation of Hawaii. The friends of
the treaty believe that the situation in
hina has materially improved annex—
ation prospects. Senator Frye said:

"This country is vitally interested in
the situation in China. We have very
great interests there now and will have
much greater in the future, which
would be destroyed by the partition of
the empire. I do not think I have suf—
ficiently considered what we ought to
do or what we could do to protect our
interests to warrant me in publicly ex-
pressing an opinion. Our interest in
the matter cannot be exaggerated. The
injury to us resulting from a partition
of the empire would be almost incalcu-
lable. I fancy, however, that the dis-
memberment will not occur. It will
not unless all the powers, excluding the
United States, reach an agreement to
share the territory. “'hile England
and Japan resist, I think, there can be,
no partition of China."

“\Vould we suffer less from a parti-
tion thus agreed upon than we would
from one in which England and Japan
did not participate?” was asked.

“No. On the contrary, we would suf-
fer more, because that would mean an
agreement of policy between the for-
eign powers, and that policy would be
antagonistic to this country. Our
moral influence should be used to pre—
vent such a consummation. If Japan
and England continue to oppose the
dismemberment of China. our moral
support must naturally be with them.

“The situation in China emphasizes
the importance of the annexation of
H‘awaii. If we act promptly and an-
nex Hawaii the whole world will accept
that as the first step in the direction
of exercising our moral influence to
preserve the integrity of China. It
_-will be indicative of a policy of watch-
fulncss over our interests on the Pa-
cific, and all nations will understand
that we are not indifferent to the pol-
icy they may pursue in the Orient.
This view of the case will, I think,
cause some Senators to hesitate
opposing the annexation treaty. I
believe the importance of the question
will cause them to look at the matter
differently, and that the treaty will be
ratified. Men who might be opposed
to annexationr, under different condi-
tions should see in the recent events in
the Orient a reason why Hawaii should
be annexed.”

I Senator' T‘eller’s Opinion.

Senator Teller said that he thought
the country would soon see what. a
serious menace was the proposition to
dismembcr China. If this dismtzxfiwtu
ment was permitted American t1 »
with China would fail, and Ar.;.~.~
would have to deal anew with the ~,
crs who took possession of the Chi:
torri-ory. Russia would get the 2,
ges‘. slice-and if she is not particulr:

a competitor of the United Stats-s a:
she would then become one.
and France were not'likcly to get 2:12.

sia vmuld be the great Dow-um i.
however it should be divided, :'. In; 1-.

“After the dismemberment hrs (.
curred." continued Senator Teller. “v.
camiot say to the governments tl..
have taken possession of China that \x.
havt certain treaty rights. They avil'
reply that there is no China and then;
are, therefore, no treaties. But that i.»
not the worstof it. If this dismem-
bcrmcnt occurs the people of what is
now China will become the producers
for the whole world. A competitor in
production and trade will be introduced
against which neither we nor any other
people can successfully contend. The
economic conditions of the whole world
will be changed. The. people of. China

to be aroused to the effort and to have
their efforts properly directed.

"The country is immensely rich in
natural resources. They have a great
mineral wealth, a territory suited to
diversified products and a population

capable of the gr“:§st skill and indus- -

try. and habituated to a mode of life
which would enable them to do what
no other people could. Their labor and
their development would contribute to
the wealth and power of the nations
possessing the dismembered empire.
The commerce and wealth of other na-
tions would shrivel up.

“Russia, with her dominion extended

over the greater part of China, would
practically overrun the earth. It is
against the. interest of nations. and
perhaps even threatening to our civil-
ization, to have China dismembered.
It would be as destructive to Great
Britain as to us. If China goes the
entire‘Oriental territory there will go.
It is not improbable that the hand of
Russia would extend into India. W‘hen
it is said that the United States cannot
interfere it should be understood what
a failure to interfere will involve. The
dismemberment of China. means the
cutting off of our commerce in the Ori-
ent and the introduction of a competi-
tor who will deprive us of the com-
merce of the rest of the world and even
supply our own’pcople. We cannot
permit this without sinking to a posi-
tion of a. third or fourth rate nation,

helpless, degraded and without inilu- .

once among the nations of the earth.
We would have to submit to the dom-
ination of an absolutism among na-
tions. Our own institutions would de—

cline, and the civilization represented .

by this Government and the English
Government would cease'to progress.
We would suffer more than any other
people. We have more involved and
would be more directly injured. It is
folly, therefore, to say that we should
have nothing to say. It is our duty
to prevent this dismembe-rment of Chi- .
na, as it is that of Great Britain.
We should join with Great Britain in
a. notice to Russia and Germany that
the dismembcrznent of China will not

be permitted. .Even without Great .
Britain we should give such notice. Al- I

most our very existence as a nation is
involved.”

THE NEW COUNTERFEITS.

Chief Hazel-I Goes to Philadelphia.
to Take Charge of the Case. "

Washington, Jan. 5.——The Treasury
Department has received another coun-
terfeit one-hundred-dollar Silver cerr
tificate from the Philadelphia Sub-I
Treasury, and Chief Hazen, of the 89- 3
cret Service. has gone to Philadelphia
to take charge of the case. He hopes
to be able to trace the counterfeitcrs.
although the department has no clue.

The Secretary of the Treasury has
issued his order calling in all the one-
hundred-dollar ccrtificates of the issue
of 1891, and all that are good will be
replaced by a new Issue. All the notes
of the issue counterfeited will be de—
stroyed. There are about $26.000.000
outstanding. '

To experts the one hundred dollar
counterfeit is slightly thicker than the
This is caused by the face
and the back being printed separately

 

and pasted together, with the silk
fibers between. \Vhen the note is sub-
jected to steaming it separates. The

genuine note is printed on one piece of
paper and will not separate.

 

0n the Watch {or Bogus Notes.

New York, Jan. 5.-Officials of the
Sub-Treasury in New York city are on
the watch for the new $100 counterfeit ,
note which, according to advices from
Washington, is the most dangerousl
ever seen by the men of the Secret .
Service. Four of. the counterfeits were

I

received in the Philadelphia Sub-Treas-

ury, and one passed muster as genuine
at the Treasury in Washington. In
fact, every Secret Service officer ex—
cept Chief Hazen accepted the ,coun- *
terfeits as genuine.

“We have been officially notified of
the existence of the $100 counterfeit,”
said Deputy Assistant United States
Treasurer M. L. Muhlmann, “and our
tellers are keeping their eyes open for
them. So far none has come our way.”

Cashiers and tellers in the banks are
also on the watch for the bogus certifi-
cates. According to the best infor—i
mation obtainable, they have now been
circulated in New York.

ONE MORE AMERICAN COUNTESS.

Count Von Goetzen Makes Mrs. May
Stanley Lay 11in Bride.
V’Vashington, Jan. 5.——Count Von
Goetzen, Military Attache of the Ger-
man Embassy, was married at noon
yesterday to Mrs. May Stanley Lay at
the residence of the bride. The ceré—
mony was pedformed by a justice of
the peace, in accordance with the offi-
cial custom in Germany, and later by
Rev. Dr. Menzel, of the German Luth-

eran Church.

The Count ‘had as his witne5ses the
German Ambassador, Dr. rVon Holle-
ben, Baron Hermann, It r. Von Brue—
nig and Mr. Von. Reichmann. of the
Embassy staff, while the bride’s wit—
nesses were members of her family.
The wedding breakfast following was
participated. in by Sir Julian Paunce-
fote, the British Ambassador, and dip—
lomats generally. After a short trip .
‘he couple will go to Berlin. where the
Count will rejoin his regiment, now
stationed at Potsdam, near the Em—
peror. .

Countess Von Goetzen is the widow
of the late Wfilliam Mathews Lay, of
this city. She is a native of Balti—
more, where she was first married, and
her beauty has always made her atl-
mircd. .

 

Bismarck’s Gonilition.

“There is unfavorable news from
Friedrichsruh. Dr. Schweninger has
expressed the opinion that Prince Bis»
marck’s gout is taking its normal
course and will soon pass over. It'
must not be forgotten,: however, that

. ATTACK BYWEYLews ORGAN.
Nucionnl Refers to McKinley and
\Voodford in Unnlensured Tex-ins.
Biarritz, Jan. 4.~—According to mail

 

. advices sent here from Madrid, in order

to escape censorship, the Nacional,
Gen. Weyler’s organ, has- published a
defiant article pointing --0ut that, al-
though the Government-has seized the
General’s protest, it could no: prevenI
its being read in every harrack room.
The Nacional. it further appears, at-
tacks President McKinley and the

, United States Minister at Madrid, Gen.

Steward L. Woodford. in unmeasured
terms. The Nacional has twice been
c'onfiscated, but the manager of that
paper is a Deputy, and therefore can-
not be prosecuted. As he declares
himself to be the author of the incrim-
inated articles, no other person con.
nected with the paper can be prosecut-
ed. Moreover, Madrid juries usually
acquit persons charged with press of-
fenses. .

The number of dinners attended by
Gen. Weyler and other officers of high"
rank is much commented upon, and is
regarded as intended to show that the
former Captain-General of Cuba. is
strongly supported by the military. It
is even said that on the day he pre-
sented to the Queen his pro-test against
the wording of President McKinley’s
message to Congress eighteen of the
commanding officers of Madrid visited
Gen. Weyler and cangratulated him.
Although. the Liberal newspapers
maintain that Gen. Weyler’s proceed-
ings are unimportant, it is recalled that
military questions in'Spain frequently
lead to grave sequels. . ~

The Correspondencia Says that Mar-
shal Blanco, the Captain-General of
Cuba, computes 'that, besides the 40,-
000,000 pesetas required for the war, 20,-
000,000 pesetas, monthly are necessary
to pay arrears. Besides the projects};

issue of 100,000,000 pesetas of Cuban'

bonds, now held by the Bank of Spain
as a guarantee, the Minister of Fi-
nance proposes to issue 200,000,000
pesetas in Spanish bonds, the security
being the customs.

TREASURE SHIP FROM 'YUKON.

Klondike Miners Arrive at Seattle
with Over $5,000,000.

San Francisco, Jan. 4.——A special
from Port Townsend, Wash, says that
there was $627,500 in gold dust and nug-
gets on the steamer Corona, which has
arrived from Alaska. The treasure on
the steamer was carefully guarded on
the trip down by two watchmen day
and night. Some of the nuggets
weighed as high as fifteen ounces.

A man named J. Davidson, who says
he hails from Cripple Creek, Col., has
a. nugget that weighs fifteen and one—
{half ounces. One of the drawers in
Capt. Carroll’s room was packed with
nuggets of all sizes. . In addition to
this, there was considerable more care-
fully tied up in sacks among the re—
turning Klondikers.

From a. careful estimate it is safe to
say that in drafts and gold dust there
was about $1,200,000 in wealth aboard
the Corona. F. Harmon McConnell,
of San Francisco, was one of the re-
turning passengers. He verified the
estimate that over $1,000,000 was
brought down by the miners.

 

UNCLE SAM TO TAKE A I-IAND.

Firm Attitude Regarding the Partl-
tion of China.
Washington, Jan. 4.—The United
States has not been approached by
England with any suggestion of an al-
liance to guarantee the neutrality of
Chinese ports,'but, on thecontrary,
our representatives at the courts of
the great powers have intimated
strongly that this country has oom-
merci rights throughout China. which
it Will not tamely see jeopardized by
any policy of territorial aggrandize-
ment which Germany or Russiaor any '
other nation may wish to pursue, and
England has .fallen into line in support

of our notice. ,-

The Government, how-ever. contem-
plates no alliance with any country,
adhering to its historic attitude of in-
dependent action to preserve its own
rights, although welcoming concerted
representations on the part of England
or any other interested party.

 

 

Senator Stewart’s Alarm. .

Denver, 001., Jan. 4.—-Sena.tor Stew-
art, of Nevada, resumed his journey
to Washington last. evening. “The
Rothschild syndicate," said he,- “is
about to divide China among the gold
standard nations of Europe. All the
nations of Asia are to be reduced to
financial slavery. The next movement
will be to divide South America. What
will then become of the free institu-
tions of our. own country? What then
can intervene to support the Monroe
doctrine? The money syndicate which-
began its work with the downfall of
Napoleon proposes to reduce the world
to slavery."

 

Fnibnsten In Florida,
Charlotte Harbor, Fla, Jan. 4.——In-
formation has been received on board
the U. S. S. Montgomery that during
the night of Deli. 27 the revenue cutter

‘McLean chased a. suspicious-looking

steamer and fired upon her. The sup-
posed filibuster kept on her course. As
the Somers N. Smith has not arrived
here, it is believed she may have been
the vessel fired on. ‘

There are three expeditions fitting
out here, one at Plant City, one at
Bartow and another at Punta Gorda.
All the channels are guarded, and two
more revenue cutters are expected.

 

Counterfeit suver Certificates.

Washington, Jan. 4.——Jolm Cramer,
of the Sub-Treasuryé at Philadelphia,
brought to the Secret Service six once
hundred-dollar counterfeit silver cer-
tificates, head of President Monroe.
Their general appearance is excellent,
and after close examination the offi-
cials of the Treasury cash-room were
undecided as to their genuineness. and
only after the notes had been soaked
water, when the two pieces
forming the front and back of the note
came apart, were they convinced of the
fraud.

CHANGE IN PENSION LAWS.

Men Who ltd-wally Fought l-n Fewer of an
‘ Honest. Pension Roll.

 

Pittsburg. Pa, Jan. 4.-—-Encampment
No, 1, Union Veteran Legion, will hold
a special meeting this evening to heal-
the report of the committee appointed
some ~days'ago to consider pension
frauds and'reoomme-nd changes in the
present laws. The committee is com-
posed of Captain George W. Skinner,
who on Friday last retired as the pen-
sion agent of this district; A. B. Hay
and E. C. Dorrington. Their report
will likelylbe adopted by the encamp-
ment and sent to Washington.

Encampment No. 1 has more than
one thousand members. They have an
average serviceof more than three"
years each. They are opposed to the
dependent pension law, and the fight
for honest pension-s has been indorsed
by these men, who represent the bet~
ter class of soldiers. No drafted men,
bounty jumpers or soldiers who did
not serve at least two years in the
civil War can become members of the
Legion, and the fact that the order is
worked up over the pension frauds,
they say, shows that reforms are
needed.

When he turned the pension office
over to his successor, Major J. W. Nes-
b~it, on Friday, Capt. Skinner said that
during the four years of his adminis-
tration more than one thousand names
had been added to the rolls. This was
an increase of two hundred and fifty in
the “Western Pennsylvania. District. A
great many veterans, he said, had
died, but widows and children had
come forward 00 claim the pensions,
and this was the main cause of the
Increase.

Several frauds were unearthed dur-
ing the term. One was that of George
Conrad, who lived near Sunbury
Northumberlaud county. He imper-
sonated his cousin, whose name was
Conrad also, and who had been in the
army. The soldier died of smallpox
soon after the close of the war, but a
pension attorney, it is said, talked the
other Conrad into applying for a pen-
sion. Conrad had several affidavits to
back up his claim, and his application
passed through the bureau.

After he had been drawing a pension
for several years, the examiners in
Piztts‘burg received word from one of
his neighbors that the man was a
fraud. An investigation resulted in
Conrad being tried, convicted arid sen-
tenced to a. term in prison. Had his
name been published, he would not
have received more than one payment.

Another case was that of James Cal-
laghan, a tailor, living in Elk county.
He did not arrive in this country until‘
1871, but this made no difference to
the pension attorney who undertook tc
push his case. Callaghan afterward
testified that he never thought of ap~
plying for a pension and would not
have done so but for the attorney. whc
told him it was easy to get the money.
He made. affidavit to his alleged ser-
vice, and induced James Fennessey, a
neighbor, to make a similar affidavit.

Just about the time the first pay-
ment vsras to be made an examiner dis-
covered a flaw and began an investi-
gation. Callaghan is now serving a
term in the Western Penitentiary. The
discovery of this fraud was an acci-
dent. If the names were published the
fraud would have exposed itself.

A fraud that almost went through,
and which would have cost the govern-
ment about seven thousand dollars,
was that of Elizabeth Jones, a. widow,
of this city. who applied for a. disa-
bility pension. Her husband applied
for a pension, but did not push the
claim. The widow renewed the claim,
through a pension attorney, but an ex-
aminer found that her husband had
not been injured, notwithstanding
thi'ee affidavits. ,

Another fraud unearthed by the pen-

’slon officials was that of a woman who

 

 

 

I 1'7

had been. drawing a dependent pension
when she had $8,000 in bank and $2,000,
her hqua‘nd’s life insurance, invested.
Talking about frauds, Captain Skin-
ners-aid: “Some of the provisions'_ of
the present pension laws are very
lame.- There can be no doubt that pen:
sion attorneys of Washington had
much to do with framing those laws,
and they have been so framed as to
give the attorneys a chance to reap a
rich harvest. One of thcm die-d re-
cently, leaving an estate estimated at
$3,000,000, which he aécumula’ted in a_
few years pushing pension, claims.
“The real soldiers, who were patri-
otic, entered the service at the begin-
ning of the war, and remained until
mustered out, are opposed to the pres-
ent pension system. They were against
the dependent pension bill, which was
passed in 1890. It was drawn in the
interest of the short—term soldiers, and
discriminated against those w-ho did
the fighting.” . '

$20,000 FOR MRS. LUETGERT.

cwnrd for Producer of Her Body,
Dead or Alive.

Chicago, Jan. 4.—Police Inspector
Schaak yesterday made a verbal offer
of $20,000 in approved real estate to
any personproducing Mrs. Luetgert,

of the defense, has complained that he
is prevented from producing Mrs.

Inspector Schaak‘, it is’said, chose this
method of rejoinder. He also hopes
to put an end to the reports from va-
rious parts of the country that Mrs.
Luetgert has been discovered.

He was an intimate friend of King
Humbert, and, while in Italy, much of
his time was spent in the company of
His Majesty. He achieved a. reputation

yesterday from Canton. Regarding
the published story that a movement
is contemplated no substitute his name
for that of Senator. Hanna. as a candl-
date for the Senate, Judge Day said:

“There is nothing, absolutely noth-

Mr. Hanna will be elected, as he
Should be."

This last statement was made after
Judge Day had been informed of the
election of Mason as Speaker of the
Ohio House of Representatives. The
news from Columbus was taken to the
White House. and Secretary Porter
carried the bulletin imniediate-ly to the
