GERMANY'S POLICY IN CHINA. National Liberals Endorse Government and Anoo-German Agreement. Berlin, Nov. 21.—The debate on the Govermnent's policy in China was continued in the Reichstag yesterday. Herr Bassermann, National Liberal, endorsed the Government's policy and expressed the gratification of his party at the Anglo -German agree- ment. Herr Richter declared the Radicals were of the opinion, after the as- sassination of Von Ketteler, that a military demonstration in China, was absolutely necessary, but the de- spatch of an iron clad division was superfluous. He alluded to the pub- lic declarations of Emperor William, saying they were obviously intended to influence public opinion. -Herr Richter added that he thought Em- peror William should first have had an understanding with the competent Ministers regarding the tenor and wordng of these declarations, assert- ing that much that was objectiona- ble and displeasing would thus have been obviated. Polities and religion, he continued, ought not to have been mixed up as they had been in the Emperor's speeches, because the ef- fect was to spoil both. "The greatest mistake of our China, policy," continued Herr Richter, "was after the Chino-,Tapanese war, when we joined with Russia and France in opposing Japan." Herr Richter's advice to the Em- peror to con.sult his Ministers elicited marks of approval. Discussed hi "Trench Chamber.

Ho Placed ills safe on exhibition, and tied the ItOY to thci combination lack on the out- side. Inside the safe was placed Ile 250, and the free offer was made to tho mechanics of the world that if tiles' opened tbe sate the money contalued therein could be taken for their suc- cess. The safe was never opened. At that time Chubb was farnouis all over England and in Europe as it leek - maker. The Bank of England, indorsed Chubh and used bis looks excluslvely. Hobbs examined the workmanship ot the looks and offered to not only enter the- outer doors of the Bank of Eng- land, but to open also the seven doors leading to the treasure safes inside of two hours, if permission was given. This was too much for the Britishers to stand and they gave the necessary consent. Hobbs was on hand two hours before the time of opening the doors of tire bank arrived and announced himself ready to go to work. All the tools he bad he carried in his vest pocket, con- sisting of about twenty picks. Ho opened the front door in seven minutes and entered the bank triumphantly. He next approached the outer door of the treasure safe. In siv minutes the door opened, and before one hour had passed, half of the time he 'asked for, be had his hands in the treasure of tbe bank, much to the amazement of the directors of the bank and to the in- tense disgust of Chubb. He took his defeat gamely, however, and soon set to work to improve his locks. This he did by taking Hobbs into his employ as an adviser. For the time, 'however, I think the Bank of England oat American locks on their safes, for everybody- recognized the fact that Chubb was no more a matek for Hobbs than Sayers was for Hee- nan. -Washington Star. Illd by Standing on Ms Bead. Deputy Constable Frank Lingo called at Minnie Wagner's home in the rear of No. 2922 Franklin avenue to serve an execution, and found a crap game in progress. Ile retired, and enlisted Policeman Curley and Timken to aid in arresting the gamblers. As the officers forced an entrance one of the players kicked over the lamp, hoping to escape in. the darkness. Each officer caught a man, and after handcuffing them went upstairs to look for a fourth. They searched every room, but found nothing until Police - Man Curley pulled a bedstead out from the wall. There was a drese hanging on one of the posts of the bed. As Curley jerked the bedetead a negro fell from under the dress. He was the missing man. He could scarcely speak. ellt's funny I didn't see your big feet," said Curley. "You couldn't, kase I was standin" on my head," said the negro. And so he had. Knowing the feet could be more readily perceived, their his black head, the negro had upended himself, and had held that position for twenty minutes or more. That is.why he had difficulty in speaking when faze discovered. The negibes were not prosecuted for gaming. -St. Louts Post Dispatch. Caw A RS AWAY WORMS, rs.
