in the Game.
ENGLAND TO BE LEFT OUT
The Britishers-1Are Wild with Rage
at the Theft of Their Land-Grab-
bing" usincss—Serious Trouble
Surely Ahead. 1
London, Dec. 20.—It is now an indis—
putable fact that Germany has an un-
derstanding with Russia in regard. to
the partition of China. The news from
Vienna that Russia has landed men at
Port Arthur and taken possession of
that place is not confirmed, and it is
not likely to be, for the Russian policy
contemplates a port on the Pacific. A
Russian diplomatist thus describes the
situation:
“Nobody can help foreseeing a possi-
ble outbreak in China. Therefore it is
necessary to cleverly define our spheres
of influence and our possessions, and
likewise those of Germany. Thus we
have given carte blanche to Germany
for the development of her commerce
in China, while we remain friends and
defenders of China.”
' Austria. has evidently been made the
confidant of both powers, and the semi-
official Fremdenblatt of Vienna says
that after the Japanese war the people
of Berlin waited for some sign of
Chinese gratitude for the part Ger-
many took in protecting h'er from the
conquering Japanese. This sign never
came, and the disappointed hope of
the Germans will now be realize in
another form.
The English press follows the Ger-
man undertaking in China with the
same unfriendliness as it showed to
the German acquisitions in Africa. The
English long ago grew accustomed to
competing in distant lands with Rus-
sians and Frenchmen, but their new
rival is inconvenient on account of his
growing exporting power.
It 'is hinted that France and England
will join in the partition, leaving Cen-
tral China greatly reduced in size.
This is very doubtful as far as England
is concerned, for Russia and Germany
are known absolutely to have the
power, if they have the will, to exclude
England from their arrangements. The
sense of England’s exclusion and ig-
norance of What action the Govern-
ment intends to take have driven the
Tory papers of London wild with rage.
GOVERNMENT’S GRIP ON CARNEGIE.
The 'Hnrvey Steel Patents Discov-
ered! to Be Invalid.
Washington, Dec. 20.—The Harvey
patents for making steel armor plate
have been discovered to be invalid, and
will be so declared in the near future.
This is the result of a. secret investiga-
tion which has been conducted in the
Patent Office at the instigation of the
Navy Department during the past
month. As a. result the Government
will withhold $94,000 due the Carnegie
and Bethlehem companies to compen-
sate for the amounts paid on royalties
for the use of the Harvey processes.
There. had been a. suspicion in the
minds of prominent officials of the
Navy Department for several years
that the Harvey process was really an
old one. Secretary Long finally ordered
the matter carefully investigated. As
a result there was discovered in the se-
cret archives of the Patent Office
caveats filed over seven years prior to
the granting of the Harvey patents,
covering identically the same process.
These caveats were filed by an Ameri-
can citizen representing clients living
in England, Germany and Italy.
The effect of this discovery is to in-
validate the Harvey patent, as it shows
a. clear‘ priority on the part of the
caveator.
The Carnegie Company seems to have
anticipated this discovery, for they
have recently purchased the Krupp
process. for hardening steel plates. This
process is now said to be superior to
the Harvey process, and it is even hint-
ed that they do not object to having
the Harvey process knocked out, now
that they have acquired the other
method.
The present royalty allowed for the
Harvey process has been reduced from
the original price of $10% a. ton to $10 a.
ton. The total amount of armor plate
made and to be made under existing
contracts by the two concerns is 24,612
tons, for which nearly $15,000,000 will
have been paid, or nearly $9,000,000 over
the combined cost of the two plants.
FITZ’S OPINION OF IVI’COY.
He Says the “Kid” Is Entitled to No
Great Credit.
Milwaukee, Wis., Dec. 20.—Champion
Robert Fitzsimmons, who is playing an
engagement in this city, in comment-
ing on the McCoy-Creedon fight, said:
“I do not take the rumor that McCoy
will challenge me seriously. There are
plenty of people ready to challenge me
now that I have retired from the ring.
McCoy is entitled to no special credit
for whipping Creedon. Creedon has not
been taking care of himself, and was
ready for a defeat.
“If-he had been in the condition he
was at New Orleans when I defeated
him a. year ago McCoy Would not have
whipped him. He is more than a. match
for McCoy, and I expected him to win.
“I will not fight the victor. I re-

Grand Forks, N. Dak., Dec. 20.——The
business portion of the city was threat-
ened by another fire last night, which
might have been more destructive than
that of Friday, when the Hotel Da-
cotah, the Mercantile Company and
,Nash Brothers‘ buildings were burned.
Shortly after 6 o’clock smok’e was
seen issuing from the first floor of the
big department store of Benner &.
Beggs. and in less than fifteen min-
utes the building was in _fiames and
the fire had crept into the Stanchfield
clothing house and the H. A. Stone
jewelry store, the buildings athloining.
After three hours' work the fire was
subdued. -The damage to the building
and stock of Benner & Beggs will be
$55,000. Losses to the other firms will _
be small.

A Policy of Dragging Legislation
‘ Likely to Prevail.
ACTION ON CUBA UNLIKELY
Representative King of Utah to Visit
the Island and Make Investiga-
tions—speaker Reed’s Committee
on Rules to Meet During Recess.
TVashington,
ment of Congress for the holiday re-
cess does not mean that Congress will
entirely suspend its functions until
Jan. 5. Owing to the fact that the
committees were not announced until
the last day of the extra session, no
opportunity was given for them to or-
ganize. During the recess the all-pow-
erful Committee on Rules of the House,
which is practically the arbiterT-Iof leg-
islation, will meet at the 'call of
Speaker Reed and make such amend-
ments to the rules as may be deemed
proper by the Speaker. The Republic-
an members of that committee, Messrs.
Anderson, of Iowa, and Dalzell, of
Pennsylvania, with the Speaker, will
settle the fate of any special legisla—
tion which may be deemed necessary
during the present session.
The postponement of the debate on
the legislative bill until after the holi—
day recess indicates that the policy of
dragging legislation \is to prevail.
There will be a sharp, if not .bitter,
rivalry between committees, to secure
the advancement of legislation which
they report, while a. contest is expected
in regard to private claim legislation,
which has been practically suppressed
for the last three years.
An unusually large number of mem—-
bers of Congress will remain here dur-
ing the holiday recess, with the view of
collecting material for speeches on civil
service and othervissues of the next
campaign. The fact that Gen. Gros-
anti-civil service raid, without rebuke
or criticism from the President, is re-
garded as sufiicient license for Repub-
lican representatives from other States
to save themselves by taking such
ground as they may please with re-
spect to that question. It is author-
itatively stated that all the Indiana
but one — Representative
Tohnson~stand against civil service re-
form, and he is not a candidate for re-
election. The same is true in Michigan
and to a. considerable extent in Illinois
and Wisconsin. _,
There seems to be no change In the
situation in respect to either Cubs. or
Hawaii. There is very little likelihood
of the House being able to reach a. vote
on Cuba, while it is not, believed rea-
sonably certain that a two-thirds vote
cannot be procured in the Senate to
ratify the treaty, and, as a result, Ha—
waii will be annexed by a joint resolu-
tion, which only requires a. majority
vote.
that Speaker Reed will not permit a
vote. There seems to be an under-
standing among those in power that
time is wanted in which to consider
the issues involved, and while the ul-
is liable to be unanimous, it is thought
best by Republican leaders, in view of
European conditions, to hold the sub-
ject up for more careful consideration.
A Republican ex-member of Congress,
with long diplomatic service abroad, is
authority for the statement that there
is a. combination of leading European
powers which will control the Cuban
question.
Congressman William Henry King,
of Salt Lake City, Utah, has made all
arrangements to take a trip to Cuba for
the purpose of personally investigating
the true condition of affairs on the Isl-
and. He has his passports and per-
sonal letters of introduction, to Consul
ceive favorable news from his child,
who has been ill at Salt Lake‘City.
before starting on his trip. Immedi-
ately on receipt of this information he
will take the train for Key West. From
that point Congressman King will go
by steamer to Cuba and make as thor-
ough an investigation of the condition
of the insurgents, their strength and
numbers, and the system~ of Spanish
government of the natives, as possible.-
Congressman King is one ‘of the
youngest members of, the House, being

bitious and energetic and is willing to

Reports that the Kai-er Will Blow

Boston, Dec. 20.——Europe’s impetuous
young War Lord has set but to blow
Uncle Sam out of the Pacific Ocean.
according -to a. ciphercable dispatch
that has set the German-Americans
here into a. fever of excitement.
The dispatch was received by a. Ger-
man-American merchant whose name
must be withheld for obvious reasons.
He is agent for several large German
capitalists, and he is instructed to
close out at once all of the heavy hold-
ings of these capitalists in American
enterprises. -He takes the order se—
riously, and he and all his friends are
highly perturbed in consequence.
“This is a. most surprising and alarm
ing turn 'in European affairs,” he said
' last night. “Germany actually has
) taken the first step towards war with
the United States. Her mysterious fleet
under command of Prince Henry is
even now on its way to threaten Amer-
ican territory, instead of being bound
to the new Chinese possessions, as the
world has been given to' understand.
“I am instructed to close out at once
all of the heavy holdings of the Ger-
man capitalists I represent. In their
cable they state specifically that those
in the inner imperial circles are confi-
dent in their secret belief that Henry
goes against the United States."
These sensational statements might
be discounted considerably if it were
not for the fact that the Massachusetts
liquOr law is more successful in bring-
ing‘ about a. closed Sunday than the
Raines law is in New York.

In the day to spend the Christmas holi-

Congressmen remained in the city, and
most of those who were here’were mak-
ing their plans to take their depar-

cess is somewhat longer than usual,
being nearly three weeks, and gives
the members who reside at a long dis-
tance, from the capital an opportunity
to pay a visit to their constituents.
Most of the cabinet circle will spend

ELOPEMENT IN LU ETGERT CASE.

' Eloped with an Englishman;
Chicago, Dec. 20. —-A peculiar report
has been circulated in the Criminal
Court building in connection with the
trial of Adolph L. Luetgert for the
murder of his wife. It is that evidence
will, be brought by the defense to show
that Robert Davey, an Englishman,
who is alleged to have swindled Luet-
gert and who went to New York in
April, eloped with Mrs. Luetgert, meet: ’
ing her in the East early in Maya ,
Mr. Harmon and the other attorneys
for the defense declined to talk about
this report. Mr. Harmon in his open-
ing address, however, laid stress on the
transactions between Dav y and Luet-
gert. He described Da ’5 negotia--
tions with the sausage maker for the
purchase of the factory for £329,000 in
bonds and $100,000 in cash. He said
Davey went to New York before the
disappearance of Mrs. Luetge rt and
took money belonging to the sausage
maker.
Luetgert went to New York before
May 1, the lawyer said, to look for
Davey, and learned he had been swin~
died. Incidentally, but with an ap-
parent effort at accuracy, Mr. Harmon
explained that Davey had spent many
evenings in the Luetgert home. Luet-
'gert and his Wife talked over Davey's
scheme, said the lawyer. and sir-e was
bitterly disappointed when the plans
came to naught.
It is supposed the defense will seek

EXPENSIVE ELECTION BET.
Philadelphia Lawyer Gives a. $2,000
Dinner for Twelve Men.
Philadelphia, Dec. 20.——A dinner of
twelve covers, which cost $2,000, or
more than $150 a cover, was given
Saturday evening at the Hotel Belle-
vue. It grew out of an election bet
made before the election for Sheriff
last year. a
The men making the bet were in the
Bellevue discussing the relative
chances of Crow and Ashbridge.
Among the twelve were James Elver—
son, Jr., and A. S. L. Shields. The for-
mer. held that Crow would win, and
Mr. Shields fancied the other candi-
date and lost. So certain was each
that a. dinner, to be given to twelve
men by the loser, was made as a
wager. Mr. Elverson. Jr., was wearing
at the time a. diamond pin shaped like
a horseshoe. Thus it was suggested
that the souvenir of the dinner be in
the shape of a horseshoe.
At each plate to-night was a. horse-
shoe pin of diamonds set in platinum
and an exact imitation of the one worn-
by Mr. Elverson. Jr., at the time of the
bet. The total cost. of $2,000 was
reached in this way. The pins cost
probably $80 apiece and the cases :56.
This accounts for' $1. 032. The menu
cards cost at least $20 each, another
$240. and theyrest was for the decora—
tions, the dinner, and the expensive
wines. ‘

manufacture of steel billets, nor is it
the intention to increase prices to the
zonsumer.”
