Washington, Oct. 25.—In view of the widespread comment that the AngloGerman alliance concerning China was open to the possible construction of an implied or indirect menace or threat against some other power Interested In the Chinese question, the attention of Couut de Quadt, the Herman charge d'affaires, was called to this point. Count de Quadt said that he waa able to give a categorical and very positive statement, on the highest authority, that the agreement Involved no menace wlin(ever to any power concerned in China. He said this applied to all the parties which had taken a hand in Chinese affairs. Count de Quadt stat-

was no foundation for reports of furtlier or additional features to the agreement beyond those transmitted to the various governments and made public. He said that the document covered the entire transaction, .the response of the United States to !erinan agreement as communicated by fount de Quadt, is still held in abeyance.

Berlin, Oct. 25.—Discussing the present stage of the relations between the Chinese government and the powers, a high official of the German foreign office made the following statement: "Before Li Hung Chang can be accepted as a negotiator by the powers, his credentials must of course be examined. So far. Karl LI, on various occasions, has refused to exhibit them. "When Dr. JIuram von SehwartzenBtein was In Shanghai lie requested Earl Li to show them. The Chinese statesman replied evasively. "However, Germany will not raise difficulties. If Earl Li's credentials will suffice for the United States, they will for Germany. Furthermore, all the legations must jointly agree upon the precise wording of the demands to be addressed to the Chinese government as preliminary to actual pence negotiations. "Those demands will be framed In accordance with the German and first French olrcular note, ft Is another question whether Earl LI will have power to enforce those conditions in case they are agreed to. All tlio powers earnestly desire to show all possible advances making toward the conclusion of peace."

Official confirmation has been received of the news already forward I by private dispatches regarding th" unsatisfactory condition of health of the German forces in Pekin. Dysentery and typhoid fever have appeared epidemically and each day brings BO vera 1 deaths.

Wall Street I'ays Tribute to Teller Alvord's System. New York, Get. 25.—The whereabouts of Cornelius Lansing AJvord, Jr., note teller, who looted the First National bank, of this city to the extent of $700,000. is unknown, and his handsome home at Mount Vernon is I being closely watched by detectives.

The officials of the bank have no definite idea just, what .Mvord did with! the large sum of money he stole. That much ol it went in high living and luxuries for liis family is clear, but the ink ollicials believe that less than one-forth of the pilferings went in that way. Wall street is full of stories telling how the defaulter was a heavy loser in. tin1 stock market, and although the bank officers refuse to discuss ihut phase of the matter, there is no doubt I hat their detectives are lookIns into it. and if Alvord's broker or brokers can be found they will be made to disgorge if that should be possible.

III Wall street the opinion prevails I

that Alvord was a superior defaulter— that is to say. lie was cleverer than the average of his kind. TTe probably realized that the majority of his rivals of the past got away with very little money. Banking men are disposed to believe that probably Alvord managed to make his escape with several hundred thousand dollars.

Alvord failed through neglect or nervousness to check up some of his transactions, and the result was exposure.

W nihtin's I,:l'e In Danger at Marion From Hire By Uodent. Marion. Ind., Oct. 25.—Mrs. Warren Johnson of this city, lies at the point of death as the result of a rat bite a month ago. The animal was large and fierce, and took a piece of flesh from her foot the size of a small walnut. The poison impregnated the wound, and no measures were taken to counteract its influences, while every tissm of the body has become affected. The lymphatic glands are swollen all out of proportion, and a gland in the groin stands out as largo as a fist. Mrs. Johnson and her husband heard a rat scrambling about the room in the night. They got up and near a large hole the rodent was seen. It refused to withdraw and showed flght. It inflicted several small scratches upon the husband, and then went for Mrs. Johnson, catching her foot in its teeth.
