It Throws Much Light on Diplo-
matic Doings Leading Up to
the Chinese Troubles*
New York, N. Y., Oct. 25.—In his re-
sponse to the British and German gov-
ernments regarding the Anglo-German
agreement, says the Herald’s Washington
correspondent, Secretary Hay is likely to
make another effort to induce all the pow-
ers to join in an agreement for the main-
tenance of the integrity of China and the
preservation of the “open door.”
It is believed at Washington that France
and Russia will not decline to join In such
a declaration, and in view of the Anglo-
German reiteration of the principles of the
integrity of China and the “open door,”
the London and Berlin governments could
hardly avoid assenting to such a proposal.
Italy and. Austria, which have assented
to the Anglo-German agreement, would,
of course, follow the lead of the German
emperor.
BRITISH BLUE BOOK. '
Much Light Thrown on the Diplomatic
Situation In China.
Washington, D. C., Oct. 25.—Copies have
been received here of the publication of
the British blue book on the uprising in
•China. Although issued some time ago,
it gives much of the diplomatic corre-
spondence not heretofore made public, and
up to the imperial edict explaining the
murder of Baron Von Ketteler. The dis-
patches of the 'British minister at Pekin
to Lord Salisbury show that a naval dem-
onstration was recommended as far back
as March 10, the American, French and
other ministers joining in the identical
recommendation. It was not favorably
received, however, and the position of the
United States is shown by a statement
by the British ambassador at Paris to
M. Delcasse to the effect that the United
States was not likely to join in ttee dem-
onstration. Later in May another naval
demonstration was proposed, but was not
carried out. The British ambassador re-
cites with great minuteness the details of
his calls on the Tsung-li-yamen, when he
was accompanied by Mr. Conger, Baron
Von Ketteler and the other ministers, giv-
ing the earnest representations made by
Mr. Conger at that time the gravity of the
situation, and the need for strong action
by the Chinese authorities. At one point
in the negotiations a British consul in
■China advised the foreign officers that Li
Hung Chang and the southern viceroys
were ready to refuse further recognition
of the authorities at Pekin. Contrary to
•the. general impression, it appears from
the correspondence that Russia gave her
adherence to Jlapan, sending n large
emergency force into China, and that the
obstacle interposed came from Germany.
The exchanges between the powers take
a very wide range, covering in extenso
the points which have been brought out
from time to time as the trouble pro-
ceeded.
William Lewis & Co., Heidenheimer
Bros., the Galveston Shoe and Hat Co.,
the Rosenfield Notion Co. and Jake Davis
& Co. have filed a petition in the United
States court asking that E. Blumberg of
Wharton, Texas, be adjudged an involun-
tary bankrupt. The petition alleges that
Blumberg owes petitioners more than $1000.
That the claims of the peltioners are un-
secured and that Blumberg is insolvent.
It also sets forth that on Oct. 13, 1900,
Blumberg conveyed a large stock of goods,
wares and merchandise to the value of
$2000 to J. G. Barbee of Wharton, with
the intent to prefer certain creditors.

The Defaulter Believed to Be Secreted in
Mount Vernon.
New York, N. Y., Oct. 25.—There was SJ
well-defined rumor in Mount Vernon last
night that Cornelius L. Alvord, jr„ the
defaulting note teller of the First Nation-
al bank, was either in his home in that
city or was secreted in some place where
he can easily be reached. Among those
who believe that Alvord is in Mount Ver-
non is Chief of Police Foley, who- has not
yet been asked to- arrest the defaulter, and
does not know officially that the man ia
wanted for any criime. This circumstance
is widely commented on.

ed the gossips that are always numerous
around the green cloth, and the wheel.
Three steamships left New York Satua>
day last, the day Alvord is known to have
disappeared, on any one of -which he. might
have booked a passage under an assumed
name. These steamship were the Mexico,
bound for Cuba; the Cap Frio, for Ham-
burg, and the Amsterdam for Rotterdam.
The Mexico landed at Havana yesterday.
Word was received by detectives that Al-
vord was not on board. When the other
two ships arrive at their destinations, ev-
ery passenger will be examined.
London, Oct. 25.—The war office an-
nounces that Lord Roberts hopes to leave

Fort Worth, Tex., Oct. 25.—John Harris,
a wealthy negro, murdered his wife near
Mineola by beating her brains out with
a neck-yoke. (He then attempted to kill
his daughter, crushing her skull. The
dead woman and girl were discovered in
the public highway. Harris was jailed
and threats of lynching were made.

A NIGHT OF TERROR.
“Awful anxiety was felt for the widow
of the brave General Burnham of Machias,
Me., when the doctors said she could not
live till morning,” writes Mrs. S. H. Lin-
coln, who attended her that fearful night
“All thought she must soon die from Pneu-
monia, but she begged for Dr. King’s New
Discovery, saying it had more than once
saved her life, and had cured her of Con-
sumption. After three small doses she
slept easily all night, and its further use
completely cured her.” This marvelous
medicine is guaranteed to cure all Throat,
Chest and Lung Diseases. Only 50c and
$1.00. Trial bottles free at J. J. Schott's

New York, N. Y., Oct. 25.—In apartments
that cost $20 a month, on the third floor of
a house in Harlem, live the father and
mother of the wife of Cornelius L. Alvord,
the defaulting bank teller. They are Mr,
and. Mrs. Charles Benedict. The Benedicts
are simple folk, and. poor. They make nio
pretenses and live within the salary paid
the old husband as bookkeeper in a. butch-
ering establishment. Mr. and Mrs;. Bene-
dict have seen little of their only daughter
in the last several years. She seldom
came to see them, so it is asserted. In
fact, the neighbors and friends of Mr. and.
Mrs. Benedict thought them childless.
They attributed the devotion they show-
ered on e^ch other to the fact that they
had .io children. It was 12 years ago that
Alvord married Jennie Benedict, then a
handsome blonde of 23, living with her
father and mother in East 112th street.
Alvord was a steady, hard-working fel-
low. The father of the girl thought his
daughter, according to his way of think-
ing, was making an excellent match. No
one said Alvord was dissipated then. He
was not known to have a single bad habit.
His sole ambition was centered in busi-
ness. That he cared nothing for society
Was shown by his marrying a poor girl,
who was a stranger to- even the social
set in which he, the bank clerk, was recog-
nized. Alvord’s social ambition and hiis
love of extravagance are believed to have
taken root when he gave a reception to his
bride in the flat in which they lived short-
ly after their marriage. All of the offi-
cers of the First National bank were in-
vited to the reception. This, it is said,
was the only time that Casper Reid and
other bank officials ever saw or met Mrs.
Alvord. Mrs. Alvord became ambitious
socially shortly after her marriage. Al-
vord’s business ambition then changed to
social ambition, and Alvord lived up to his
salary during the first few years of his
married life. That he loved his wife and
was ambitious for her sake in a social
sense was shown by the way he showered
money on her.
Betting men on the local race tracks say
Alvord could not possibly have lost any
great amount of money on the track, even
if he bet through commissioners without
his identity being discovered. To lose any-
thing approximating the sum of Alvord’s
defalcation, while keeping his name secret,
they declared impossible. Even had he
bet through commissioners, their placing
of any large sums would have attracted
attention, arid book-makers, who pay men
specially to keep them informed of what
is going on, and who is betting, must have
learned whence the commissioner came.
Of Mrs. Alvord’s visits to the tracks, it
is said she frequently occupied a box at
the more important courses, though sel-
dom accompanied by her husband. She
bet on the races, many of the men who
knew her were sure, but they did not know
she bet any large amounts, and as her bets
were always placed by regular track mes-
sengers, it is assumed that her wagers did
not reach an extraordinary size. When
Alvord was with his wife he usually bet
from $25 to $50 on each race. Prominent
sporting men in the tenderloin laugh at
the suggestion that Alvord could have lost
$500,000 or even half that amount in gam-
bling in pool rooms without becoming
widely known. They declare he certainly
could not have confined his operations to
or e place and w'on or lost a fifth cf it in &
reasonable length, of have*,’

DEMOCRATS EXPECT TO CARRY IT
BY 2000 TO 3500—REPUBLICANS
CLAIM AS MUCH—BOTH SIDES ARE
WORKING HARD IN THE INTERIOR
AND STILL-HUNTING IN GALVES-
TON COUNTY.
Twelve days from today will be election
day, and opposing forces are now working
like beavers and will until the day of elec-
tion keep up a continual fire for the in-
struction of the great American voter.
Orators are no longer firing at long range.
They are, so to speak, so close that they
can see “the whites of' the enemy’s eyes,”
and like the proverbial red rag and the
enraged bull, the whites of the eyes serve
only to make them redouble their efforts.
The great storm: will prevent any polit-
ical demonstration being made in Galves-
ton, but in the interior the woods are be-
ing shelled by all sons of spell binders.
The Democrats are feeling in fine form
and to them the goose is hanging high.
They have worked as only one can work
when he realizes that success is reason-
ably sure if the best foot is put forward.
But owing to the fact that the congres-
sional headquarters of the Democratic
party are at Eiagle Lake, no detailed esti-
mates can be gained of how they bake
their claims.
On the county, that is another matter.
This morning at the4,Democratic headquar-
ters it was stated that Burgess would
carry the county with a total vote of little
less than 4500. This means that if 7100 of
the voters that have registered cast their
ballots, Mr. Burgess will get all but 2600,
or a majority of 1900. The Democrats at
headquarters also claim that nearly all of
their county nominees will be elected. At
all events they are working the strongest
still hunt game that has ever been seen in
Galveston county.
The foregoing is what the Democrats
claim. The Republicans are just as good
ciaimers as are the Democrats, and in fact
go them one better. The headquarters of
the Republican congressional campaign
are in Galveston, and a busy place it is,
too. In the office there are four or five
typewriters going a steady click and huge
piles of papers and letters are stacked in
the rooms.
The g. o. p. has a large lot of speakers
-nt work in the inter^pr and the reports
that are received from these speakers are
as rosy as they can well be. Among the
prominent men who are working in Jones’
behalf are Gen. John M. Clajborne of
Rusk, Web Flanagan of Austin, United
States District Attorney W. A. Atwell of
Dallas, A. Haxthausen, editor of the
Deutsch-Zietung of Houston, and Rusjjgll
H. Kingsbury of Waco, besides a whole
lot of local speakers. Mr. Hawley will
also make a few speeches in Jones’ behalf.
Here is the way that the Republicans ex-
pect the result to be:
Gonzales county, close—not over ICO votes
difference beiween Junes and Burgess.
Fayette county, doubtful, with chances
that Burgess will carry the county by
about 250 majority,
Galveston county: Jones will carry this
county by a majority. Of over 1000.
Austin county: Close. Hawley carried
this county in the Iasi election by a major-
ity of 15, and the Republicans do not think
there will be over 5h votes difference be-
tween Jones and Burgess.
■Colorado* county: This is Jones’ old
home, and they expect to carry that coun-
ty for him by a thousand majority.
Matagorda county will go Democratic,
as will also Lavaca, while Fort Bend and
Brazoria will give Republican majorities,
but the canvass in these counties has not
reached the stage where an intelligent es-
timate can be made by the Republicans.
Taken all in all, the Republicans expect
Jones to come to the place where the
county bridge formerly began with a lead
over Burgess of nqt1 less than 1000, and
they expect that lead to be increased by
the Galveston county vote so as to give
Jones a majority of not less than 2000 and
perhaps more.
That is what the Republicans claim, and
as before stated, The Tribune at this time
is not in a position to give the claims
of the Democrats, but Col. Walter Gresh-
am. yesterday stated that from all advices
that he had received Burgess will carry
hte district by not less than 3500.

COL. ROBERT’S OPINION OF GALVES-
TON AFTER THE STORM—HUR-
RICANE WAS A FREAK—NOT LIKE-
LY TO HIT HERE AGAIN—NEW
YORK AND NEW ORLEANS IN AS
MUCH DANGER—CITY WILL BE
BIGGER THAN EVER AND WILL
BECOME THE OUTLET FOR THE EN-
TIRE ROCKY MOUNTAIN COUNRY.
“There is no harbor south of Norfolk
that is any better than the harbor at
Galveston,” said Col. H. M. Robert, who
is president of the board of engineers ap-
pointed. by the secretary of war to inves-
tigate the amount of damage that the-
hurricane did to the property of the gov-
ernment, and he says this after going over
the whole storm-swept area and person-
ally seeing the damage done.
Back of all this, however, is a bit of
history that it would not be amiss to state
here. Col. Robert was at the head of the
board of engineers that was appointed to
escertain the best port on the, gulf coast
for the government to improve. That
board recommended Galveston, notwith-
standing that on every hand nothing but
failure was predicted for plans—the jet-
ties—recommended by the board. Even as
late as April, 1895, after four million dol-
lars had been expended, when there was
only 14 feet of water on the bar, shipping
men went to Col. Robert and told him that
the plan was a failure and that his dream
of a deep water port here would be but a
dream after all. Col. Robert laughed at
their fears and informed them that there
would be 18 feet of water on the bar
before the year was out. And there was,
too.
Since that time Col. Robert has never
missed an opportunity to say a good word
for Galveston,- and officially Galveston has
always had a strong friend and an earnest
supporter in him. In speaking of the hur-
ricane, Col. Robert states that it. was a
freak of nature, just as was the Lisbon
tidal wave that killed over 50,000 people;
yet Lisbon is larger today than it was
when the tidal wave swept it. Charleston
survived a terrible earthquake, Johns-
town, Pa., has more’than recovered from
its disastrous experience., as has also St.
Louis-and other cities ad infinitum. “So
will Galveston,” says Col. Robert. “She
will not only recover, but she will con-
tinue to grow until she is the.outlet for
the entire Rocky mountain basin. The
hurricane was only a freak, and the
chances a.re that It will never occur again.
It is just as apt to happen to New Orleans,
New York or any other place on earth as
it is. to Galveston.”
At the same time Col. Robert is of the
opinion that Galveston will be subject to
overflows; but these can be easily checked
by his dike project, and water without
wind would do but little damage. “’Take
Velasco, for instance,” said Col. Robert in
making his point clear. ‘"In proportion that
town suffered just as much as Galveston
and yet there was no* water there, only
wind Wind was the element that did the
damage. If there had not been a strong
wind the damage done would have been
so small that it would not have been
worth mentioning. As I understand it the
water assisted the wind in lifting the
houses from their foundations and the
wind hurled them as battering rams
against r.thtr structures.
“It is all folderol to talk a'bnu’ the storm
injuring the future of Gal seston. The only
lasting lessen.? that one can gain from the
hurricane are that Galveston has a har-
bor that can be depended upon to be per-
manent and that such atmospheric dis-
turbances are apt to occur anywhere.”
The board was in executive session this
morning, and aside from the fact that the
damage done to the jetties was discussed,
nothing could be learned of what they
