In Order to Make Sure of Onr Share We Will Favor the Opening of All Torte Opinion of the ChlneMe In Washington Talk or War With the United State In MudrlU The llattlekhip Maine Ordered to llavuna. wasnington, Jan. 25. There Is rea son to believe that the moral influence of the United States will support Great Britain In her efforts to keep China open to the commerce of the world. The only active steps which the admin istration will probably take in the mat ter will be to enter Into negotiations with Germany respecting the treatment of American ships entering Klao Chou and such other ports In China as may be seized In the future by Russia or Japan. If China has leased Klao Chou on the condition that it shall be opened by Germany as a Chinese port, then It will not be necessary for the president to take the steps in the matter, said an official of the administration. It will mean that the commerce of all nations will 'be allowed unrestricted- entry thereto. Will Kxercie the Right. If, as we believe, however, Klao Chou should be leased to Germany without conditions,-then Germany will have the right and will undoubtedly everclse It to put in operation port and customs regulations such as are now In forces In German home ports. The United States' can not make objection to the extension of such regulations to Klao Chou In such an event, for It will be German soli to all intents and purpose. as In Hamburg. However, the admin lstratlon will expect from Germany any. privileges that may be granted by her to any other nation, and will. therefore,- reap the advantages which Great Britain's attitude against the shutting of the Chinese door to the com merce of the world will give. This Is required In accordance with the arti cles of the treaty between Prussia and the United States of May 1 1828, which provides: Cotnniou to th Other Tarty, "If either paity shall hereafter grant to any other nation any particular fa vor of navigation or. commerce, It shall Immediately become common to the other party, freely where It Is freely granted to such nation, or yielding the same compensation when. the grant I conditional."

The following semi official announcement has been made: "The statements regarding Ger many'a Intention to. open the port of Klao Chou to the commerce or me world, are practically. correct.' Germany desires that its policy in China snouia be"of a liberal character, not interfering with the commerce of other .nations. TALK OF WAR IN MADRID. A the Situation There" Orow Calmer It la ' More Threatening Mere. New York. Jan. 25. A dispatch to The Herald from Madrid says: The attacks in the. house at Washington have pro duced a feeling here which, perhaps, is scarcely . Justified pointing toward the fixed purpose . of a certain section of American politicians to insist on war with Spain. The government Itself Is disturbed and the cress Is full of the subject. The Imparcial pays: "in proportion as the accounts from Cuba are favora ble in Spain they become less so from the United States. It would be difficult to believe that the United States pro poses to undertake In the face of the whole civilised world the enormous re sponsibility of provoking war for which no reason exists today. Why allege the only motive for intervention the pro longation of a contest which is princi Dally sustained by, filibustering expcdl tlons starting from North American Dorts and maintained by hopes, fostered in Washington and New York, of an attack upon . Spain... It. Is cold-blooded mockery and, affronts the general con science." The Correspondence says: "We can not imagine the majority of the peo pie of the United States wish for war with Spain, seeing the great aistum ance such a' war would cause in the republic. We can not think that the Jingoes will prevail In. their evil work We believe that the government of the United States will not commit this un justifiable and " thoughtless impru dence.". -' ' MAINE ..ORDERED TO HAVANA. Senator Foraker Hope That Other Veiteli . W ill Follow Her. Washington, D. C. Jan. 25. The United States steamship Maine has been ordered to Havana.. It Js said at the navy department that no disturbing news has been received from there, but that the movement is rather in the line of a resumption of free intercourse of our naval vessels in Cuban waters, the same as prevailed prior to their with drawal on account of the outbreak cl hostilities. . The members of the senate committee a foreign relations received th bfrr mation with, evident satisfaction. tr ator Frye sil l that the action was tmt nently satisfactory to him. Senator etMav. fc. i warship in narana tor tne protection of American interests. Senator Mor gan said that Germany had shown the United States the way by sending her warships to Havana and was evidently badgering this government in this mat ter. . Setiator Foraker was particularly pleased to hear the news. He said he wished the Texas and the other vessels of the squadron would be ordered to fol low the Maine. Senator Cullom said: "I am glad to hear it. I hope the Maine will be followed by other vessels." Sen ator Teller said he would like to see the harbor of Havana filled with American ships. Extra Guard for General Lee. Jacksonville, Fla., Jan. 23. A special from Key West, Fla., says: There has been much excitement In this city dur ing the last twenty-four hours, due to an alarming telegram from Havana stating that the streets had been flood ed with an. anonymous ultra-Spanish circular calling upon all anti-American elements to mobilize and raid the American colony. Captain-General Blanco, fearful that the rabid element of the city might attempt such vio lence, has placed an extra military guard around Consud-General Lee's of fice. WILE Slil'IG SIGHTS.

Wo den I Executed. Chicago. Jan. 5. Eugene V. Debs has Issued a passionate plea to the public to interfere and save the life of Salter T. Worden, condemned to die on the gallows for the crime of train-wreck ing. Worden was convicted at bacra mento, Cal., in 1894, and Governor Budd has refused to do anything in his be half. The wrecking occurred on the Southern Pacific railroad during the heat of the American Railway union strike. In his plea given to the press Mr. Debs asserts that Worden is the victim of a conspiracy concocted end carried out by detectives in the employ of the railroad company, and at the worst the condemned man was but tool In their hands. At that time Worden was one of the local leaders in the strike, and Dets declares that the alleged conspiracy Was formed for the purpose of turning Dubllc sentiment againsUlhe strikers and-br in cine defeat uron them. "The strike" writes Debs, "hacra tremerm oiw hold, .on public sympathy in thSit state Worden Ws the very man to en trap in the meshes of corporate conspl racyi and the diabolical plot was car ried out. A train was wrecked and chain of criminating- evidence was forged about the helpless victim. The corporation was triumphant and labor was once more in fetters." Mrr Deba also declares that the gov ernor cannot be Ignorant of these facts, and that he must know that the South ern Pacific Railway company controls politicians and the state of California as absolutely as the "czar of Russia controls his selfish subjects." This "tru- tal corporation," he says, "insists upon Worden being hanged," and his execu tion-would be a "damnable blot upon the state which would turn into a living accusation and confront and disgrace the commonwealth forever. ; . The labor leader . urges that every conceivable Influence be brought to bear upon Governor Budd to prevent the "approaching tragedy," and 'prom ises that If the governor does not Inter fere the worklngmen of " the country will neithr forget nor forgive. 'MISSISSIPPI ON THE RISE. The Levee Contractor Are Considerable Alarmed at the Situation. Memphis, Tenn., Jan. 25. The Mis sissippi river at this point continues to rise at a rate" that is considered alarming by river men in general, and especially .levee contractors who have filed bonds to complete certain work at a given time. The time named has al most expired, but the excessive rains. causing an unprecedentedly high stage of water this season of the year, has operated against levee work. As a re sult there are several breaks in the low er levees left from last year's spring floods, which it seems impossible to rem edy before the March and April fresh ets unless there thould Intervene thirty days or more of clear weather. The danger line at Memphis -is thirty-three feet. The gauge reads SO feet, showing a rise of 2.2 feet In ten hours, with a continued rise predicted. Plantation owners in the delta country are thor oughly alarmed, but there is no imme diate danger to life or property. Buffalo, N. Y., Jan. 25. A rpeclal from Niagara Falls says: The Niagara river was in a rage, owing to the heavy western gale, which prevailed for twen ty-four hours. The water rose in the sroree about twenty-five feet. It swept over the Maid of the Mist landings and sheds and carried off boats, boathouses. lumber, and pulp wood In large quantl ties. The scene looking cn the Amerl can and Canadian rapids above the falls was a wild one. Bath Island. Lura Isl and, and part of the Three Sisters were submerged and considerable damage was done to property. The greatest damage was done down the gorge. where pectlons of the gorge read were undermined and swept away. Cincinnati. Jan. 25. The Ohio river has been fctatlonary at 50V4 feet for several hours and hopes that there may not be a dltrous flood arc strength ened by the cr.ntir.ued clear, cold weath er through the Ohio valley.

The Former Represents the United States Government and the Latter the City of ChicagoGoes to Church on Sunday Morning and On Monday Inspect the Troops at Fort Sheridan The DWtln guinhed Guest's Wife Accompanies lllui. Chicago, Jan. 25. Sanford B. Dole, president of Hawaii, the island republic of the Pacific, arose Monday with the gray dawn, and, snatching a hasty breakfast, hurried off for the Welld street depot and took the trrin for Fort Sheridan. President Dole and his party. which consisted of the president and his wife. Dr. Frank R. Day, port phy sician of Honolulu, and Major Iaukes, the president's Kanaka secretary, had arrived in Chicago Sunday. They had been received by Judge Grosscup and Assistant Secretary of State Crldler, end Major General Brooke and his staff, representing the United States govern ment, and Mayor Harrison, represent ing th city of Chicago. They had been taken to the Auditorium Annex, where a suite of ten rooms had been provided for the party. Hears a Sermon. The president and his party went Sunday morning to Central Music hall to hear Rev. Dr. Hlllis preach, went out for a drive about the city in the after noon, and spent the evening at the home of Salter S. Dole, a nephew of the president, whose home Is at 344 Dear born avenue. The visit to Fort Sheri dan Monday morning was part of the programme for the entertainment of the nation's distinguished guest which had been arranged by the officers who have the party in charge, Secretary Crldler, and Major Helsted, Lieutenant Commander Phelps, and F. M, Hatch, minister for the United States to Ha wall. After his breakfast the president accompanied his secretary to the desk of the Western Union Telegraph office to send a message. A messenger had already arrhl to notify the president that General Brooke and party was at the depot waiting for him. But even ihen the party was late, for after they were ready to go the carriages delayed them for fifteen minutes. City Not Represented. Meanwhile, General Brooke, wrapped in a heavy army overcoat, but in full uniform, wai waiting at the head of the stairs on Wells street. .The little group of officers in their uniforms attracted the attention of the people lounging about the depot, and soon a consldera Vle group was gathered at4he entrance of the depot, waiting to catch a glimpse of the president when he stepped from the carriage to the depot. Down in the depot yards a special train consisting of two coaches, one of which-, was that of the general superintendent of the road, was waiting. It was expected that Mayor Harrison and some of th representatives of the city would be present at this early morning ceremony in honor of the Hawaiian party, but no one. not so much as a city hall clerk. was present. Tarty Late In Arriving. The party was late in arriving, but General Brooke and his companions waited with the patience that only army officers on duty can command. At length there was an exultant little whis per in the crowd. A hack dashed up to the curb, from which there descended a little man with a sallow complexion. a thin face, and a high silk hat. That was Minister Hatch. Then a couple of army officer, said to be Lieutenant Commander Phelps and Major Heis tand. Then a tall man with a long, white flowing board. They are not by any means Populistlc whiskers that the president of Hawaii wears, but a fine patriarchal board that lends a great dignity to his appearance. At Fort Sheridan. On arriving at Fort Sheridan Colonel Hall took his guests to the headquar ters under the large tower and the sol diers of the Fourth regiment, attired in their dress uniforms, passed before them. Thereupon President Dole and the others were taken to Colonel Hall's home, where a brief Informal reception was held before the return trip to the city. '.Afber being at the fort until near ly noon. he party again boarded the special' train and at 12:20 o'clock reached. Chicago. Carriages were in waiting to take them to Kinsley's for the dinner, to which a number of Ha wallan-born Chicago people were vlted. in- Locomotive Holler Explosion, Madison. Wis., Jan. 25.

THAT ROW IN THE DEPUTIES. ficene of Fighting That Mae Never Ileen Equalled. Paris, Jan. 25. During the disturb ance In the chamber of deputies the scene of fighting around the tribun? was unparaileled. comte ve liernis is a retired cavalry officer and has the rough manners of the bull-fighting town of Nlmes, where he will be a can didate at the next elections. M. Jaures is thick-set, florid and hairy. M. Ger ault Richard is wild-looking. The lat ter was hustled and knocked about like a football in his attempt to deal Comte De Bernls a blow. Some eighty depu ties were In the fight. Coats were torn to tatters and cravats were seized in the attempts to choke an opponent. During a lull in the fight M. Gerault Richaid was seen in tatters, his cravat torn off and his shirt front torn open. while his sympathizers were patting him on the back. Suddenly Comte De Bernis bounded up the stairs of the tribune on all fours like an animal, dealt M. Jaures a heavy blow on the back of the head and kicked him on the legs. Mr. Jaures was knocked over and stumbled down the steps. Picking himself up, he saw Comte De Bernls making off with a crowd of deputies, while the remainder of the house hooted him, crying "Cow ard" and "traitor." M. Jaures threw a knotted handkerchief after Wm. Comte De Bernis seemed paralyzed and the house cheered M. Jaures, while a body of Socialists made another rush at Comte De Bernis and the melee was re. newed as furious as before. M. Brisson. president of the chamber. finding it hopeless to restore order, de parted, and the military entered, at the request, it Is said, of a questor, who feared loss of life if the scenes were continued. It seems that Comte De Bernls had provoked the animosity of the Socialists at a previous sitting by accusing them of being In the way of the Dreyfus syndicate. Several or the Rightists have aked the Socialists to let the matter drop on the ground that Comte De Bernis was not In his usual slate. The humorous element or this disgraceful scene was supplied by the Mussulman deputy, M. Grenier. who. during the attitude of prayer he assumed in the height of the fighting. helplessly waved his ,white burnous giving the effect of a huge duck flap ping the water with Its wings, opin ions differ greatly as to tne outcome of the affair. Some tay the cabinet nas gained a great victory; others believe a dissolution of parliament Imminent. Today Paris has the appearance or being In a state of siege and 4,000 po lice and soldiers hold the Place as la Concorde. 0H10ANS STILL IN THE WAV. Success of the Interstate Mining Co of ence Depends Fpon Theui. Chicago. Jan. 24. The second week of the Interstate mining conference began without any one being able to forecast the outcome. There are two Important questions that are credited with being in' the way of a satisfactory ending of the conference, and if they can be ad- Justed, success will follow. These are the mine run issue and the differential between . Ohio and Pennsylvania. The miners are solid for mine run. and are backed by the Illinois operators. Pennsylvania operators will not stand in the way of accepting mine run, and Indiana will favor It if the operators In the Ohio thin vein fields will do like wise. According to this the fight has nar rowed down to Ohio. II. L. Cr.aprr.an . of that state says that the cpcratori he represents will not accept mine run. If the conference Is a failure the blame will be thrown upon Chapman and his backers, it is said. The motion made by the Ohio man that a 10-cent Increase be granted the miners was defeated, be cause he made conditions that could not be followed. The motion was referred to as a a grandstand play. Illinois op erators will stick to mine run as long as the Illinois miners request it. The adoption ' of a universal eight- hour day by the convention may result in' no good If the conference breaks up without making any further agree ments. In that event the miners will make their own scale and force It upon the contractors. This would Include mine run. the eight-hour day, and the abolishing of the differential between Ohio and Pennsylvania. The conven tion may break up at any moment ot may last a week. Trouble In Algiers, Algiers, Jan. 25. Further rioting oc curred here at 9 o'clock In the morning. when it was learned that a Hebrew had stabbed a Spaniard. A mob gath ered, attacked and looted the Hebrew stores. At the head of six souaves, with fixed bayonets, the grovemor general. preceded by military drum mers, traversed the streets appealing for quiet. He was followed by a mob or about 3.000 people, who snouted: "Down with the Jews! Resign!" Intermingled with a few cries of "Vive la Gouver-neur-Generale!" The governor-general finally retired to the winter palace, es corted by detachments of police and zouaves. Several Hebrews have been assaulted and. a score of arrests have been made.
