All Ohio contributed laureis to the illustrious dead, and representing the nation were President McKinley, lillhu Root, secretary of war, and ether Washington officials. The city was draped in mourning. Every busi ness house closed at 2 o’clock and the schools were dismissed that the pupils might attend the services at the Orace Episcopal church, where, hslt u cen tury ago, John Sherman first wor shipped hiiu where for years he was a vestry mu n. From the funeral train, which ar rived at 10:15 a. m., the remains were escorted to the church, through streets that were thronged with citizens and thousands who had gathered here from other places. The route was marked In 'he early morning with many political banners eulogistic of national and state candidates of the various parties, but as a mark of respect to the dead ail these were removed before the pro cession began.

Discussing the present stage of the relations between the Chinese government ami the pow ers, u high official of the German for eign office made the following state ment. today: "Before LI Hung Chang can bo ac cepted as the negotiator by the pow ers Ills credentials must of course be examined. So far as Earl LI on vari ous occasions has refused to exhibit them. When Dr, Munini von Hchwartztiistein was In Shanghai lit requested Earl LI to show them. Thu Chinese statesman replied evasively: "However, Germany will not raise difficulties. If Karl Li’s credentials will suffice for the United States they will for Germany. However, ull the legations must jointly agree upon the precise wording of the demands to be addressed to the Chinese government ns preliminary to actual peace nego tiations. "These demands will he framed tn accordance with the German and first French circular note. It Is another question whether Karl LI will have power to enforce those conditions in case they are agreed to. All the pow ers earnestly desire to show all possi ble advances making toward the con clusion of pence." Official confirmation has been receiv ed of. the news already forwarded by private dispatches regarding the un satisfactory condition of health of the German forces in Pekin. Dysentery and typhoid fever have appeared epi demic and each day brings several deaths. WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.—In view of the widespread comment that the An glo-German allianc e concerning China was open to the possible construction of an implied or Indirect menace or threat against some other power in terested in the Chinese question, the attention of Count de Quadt, the Ger man charge d’affaires, today was call ed to this point. Count de Quadt said that he was able to give a categorical and very positive statement, on the highest authority, that the agreement Involved no menace whatever to any power concerned In China. He sail this applied to all the parties which had taken a hand in Chinese affairs. Count de Qundt stated with equal pos it iveness that there was no foundations for reports of further or additional features to the agreement beyond those transmitted to the various govern ments mid made public. He said that document covered the entire transac tion. The response of the United States to the British-German agreement, as communicated by Count de Quadt, is still held In abeyance. It is under stood that with the third article, namely, that concerning the compact between Great Britain and Germany to take suitable measures in their own interests, In the contingency that oth er powers seize territory in China, our government will uot concern Itself at this stage. It Is not expected that our adherence to the arrangement woul 1 be required to take the form of a formal signature or acceptance. So it is probable that the answer to be made by the Slate department will not bo an unqualified acceptance of the whole pact, but only will treat of those por tions of the agreement with which ws are directly concerned at present.
