from Shanghai says the commander ot the
German cruiser. Division. Admiral A'on Del-
dorlch , landed troops at Klao Chau on MOD
day .morning , November 13. , The three forts
wore held ( by 1,600 Chinese and their guns
commanded the fleet. Admiral Von Dleder-
Ich placed his four cruisers directly opposite
ready to flro and sent an ultimatum ordering
the evacuation of the forts within three
hours. Six hundred German troops and six
Buna were then landed and 'began to march
forward. The CUnoso hesitated for a fe.
moments arxl then the whole 1,500 .bolted . ,
lielter skelter , across the hills behind the
forts. The Germans quietly entered the
fortifications , tallied down the Chinese flag
and hoisted the German standatU , which
the w r ahlps saluted Immediately. The
Chinese general , who bad his family with
him , did not flee , but claimed German pro
tection. The forts are now held by the
Germans , > who , If Is'believed at Shanghai ,
Intend to remain 'permanently.
In official Chinese circles Germany Is COD-
Bldered to 'have committed an act of war ,
'but ' It U regained < ia Improbable that China ,
on account of her weakness , will lake action
upon It ns such.
American and British war ships have been
ordered to Klao Chau to watch develop
ments. Tne greatest interest Is felt as to
Germany's action , because the region. Is
immensely rich In minerals and the harbor
tin best along the ccast. It Is now asserted
that the murder of The two German mission

MADRID , Nov. 17. Owing to the Indispo
sition of Scnor Morel , minister for the col-
onlc * . the meeting of the Spanish Cabinet ,
which had been called for the dlscuwlon
of Cuban autonomy this evening , was post
poned.
The principal phases to bo considered are
the enjoyment of all. the rights actor-Jed by
thu Spanish constitution without any cur-
t.illment whatever ; the identity of political
and civil rights for Spaniards and Cubans ,
without distinction of race or color ; antl Uic
creation of a Cuban Chamber , all the mem
bers of which arc to bo elected by popular
vote ; a Cuban Senate Is to bo created later
on.
on.Tho
The Ohambcr is to to cmpowercil to vote
the budget expenditure , male laws controll
ing public services , establish customs tariffs
and decide the relative responsibility of the
executive officers. The motherland will have
exclusive control of Internal affairs , military
and naval matters and of the organization
of 'tho ' tribunals. Spain abe retains the di
rection of tho.political and civil laws of a
natUnnl character and regains control of , the
expenditures of the same character.
The oxec'utlve power will be vested in a
Sovernor general , with deputies appointed
by himself. Doth the governor general and
his deputies will be responsible to the Cuban
Chamber.
LONDON' , Nov. IS. The Times , com-
mentlnG this morning upon the Cuban re
form scheme , says :
"It remains to be seen If Senor Sagasta
lias the couniRi1 to face the dangers of the
Catalonlan disaffection , by granting to the
Cubans control of the customs. The diffi
culties In the way of accenting American
Intervention are still greater. Involving not
only the certain ruin of the cabinet , but the
grave danger to the dynasty and to social
order.
"Spain Is probably willing to admit Amor-
lean capital.Into Cuba on fair terms , and
to grant large trading concessions. The es-
Eonco of Spanish policy , however , Is to ex
clude foreign Influences and to maintain the
privileged posltlcu of the mother country.
How far the Spanlnh government will re
cede from this position It would bo rash
to predict. It would bo premature to as-
? umo that bee.use a scheme of reform has
been considered by the government. Its ac
ceptance by the nation Is assured , and It
would bo still more Imprudent to suppose
that the scheme will be taken as the basis
of settlement by the Insurgsnts , many of
whom have ) ) ccn driven by mlsgovernment
Into avowed separatism. "

EDINBURGH , Nov. 17. There was a
tragic occurrence In a police station here last
evening. A woman apparently about 20
years of age , and fashionably dressed , but
In the dee-pest mourning , who said she was
the Countess Teresa Ulfcld , u Russian , adding
that she had come to Scotland a fortnight
ago via Copenhagen , and that she was In
mourning for her dead lover , complained tc
the police olJlcer on duty that she had been
robbed of her purse containing a Inrge sum
of money. The esuntejs was apparently In
grot distress , and as the officer turned
round to enter her complaint In the station
blotter she shot herself through the temple
with a revolver.
Only a few shillings were found on her
person. An examination of her rooms In
the hotel where she had been stopping de
veloped a fact that all her correspondence
had been torn up In stich small pieces as to
render It almost utterly Impossible to re
construct it. She had given her address
as the Clolatcr of St. Marie , Moscow. Two
phctographs were- found among her effects.
One wes that of a young officer In the Rus
sian army and was signed "Alexander
Romanoff. " It is supposed to bo that of the
fiance.

The struggle for the control of London's

religious teachings in tbo schools. The so-

DENVRR , Colo. , Nov. 17. ? S | cl l.-The
Colorado women are engaged In missionary
work in other antes where the woman
woman suffrage movement Is on foot. Among
the many women who have been cnllcd to
work In other states Is .Mrs. Ida Crouch Has-
lett of this city. Ida Crouch Is a native cf
Dloomlngton , III. , having come west about
six years ago to prelde over a Wyoming pub
lic school. There she learned the w-jya of
Uio voter , having cast her first ballot in that
ntatc. When one married Mr. llaslett she
moved to Colorado , as ho has become Inter
ested In mines in this state. Here' she as-
ilsted In the campaign that resulted In Colorado
rado granting women the right to vote. Ot
late oho has been assisted in the Io\v. ) cam
paign , and on her return from that state eho
said :
"It will bo long and ! hard flght In lovva ,
but wo expect to win. According to tftc law
ot that state an amendment to the constitu
tion must bo first greed to by the legisla
ture at two specific sessions and then sub
mitted to the people. The campaign which
just closed In that state \vas thus but the
flrat ot a terles. We hope to have the amend
ment submitted to the people In 1900 , and
that It will then be adopted , The work In
Io\\a the present year was to educate the
people und to see that they elected legislators
who would give tbo cause a hearing. Iowa
has ninety-nine counties and a committee
was sent Into each. We laid out a regular
program of meetings for all over the state.
At each there would be A manager and two
speakers. In several of the counties I acted
as manager , though usually I delivered an
address. Mrs , Carrie Chapman Catt , national
chairman ot the committee oil organization ,
was In the state and did much to organize
this campaign. We can now only await the
action of the legislature , but Iowa will be
watched.
'The campaign In California was a fail
ure , mainly because wo could not get to the
people. In many of the cities in which 1
spoke I found plenty of people who did not
know that an amendment to the constitution
was to booted on. We went Into the
light thcro without sufficient organization ,
and no battle was ever won except by care
ful gathering of forces. Even then wo went
Into San Francisco with about 600 majority
and were beaten In those precincts where
the Ignorant and depraved live. The lesson
learned In California was used In Iowa ,
Miry C. C. Bradford , Laura Gregg of Kan
sas , Anna Shaw and Mary G. Hay were some
ot1 the workers In the latter state.
"The dlnicultles In the way In Nebraska
8em Insurmountable. The constitution
can only be amended by a majority of the
voters who cast ballots at the election voting
ing in Its favor. Many amendments have
been proposed , and all have failed of pass
ing , though nearly all have secured a ma
jority ot those who voted on the subject at
all. A constitutional convention has been
proposed for the state , and may be gained ,
but until It Is there Is no hope of any
amendment ibelng carried. The first Judicial
district of the state has been organized al
ready and I will return In February to or
ganize the sixth Judicial district. If the
next legislature provides for a new consti
tutional convention wo Intend to place the
suffrage question before the convention.
"Washington and South Dakota have
amendments ready for submission. From the
former comes the most encouraging nowi ? .
The pwplo are studying the question. In
tills lies our strength , and through this we
hope to win. I will so Into Dakota In the
spring and assist in the organization there.
The amendment will bo voted on In the
fall , and we expect It will bo adopted.
"In my work I find It to be a great aid
to bo able 4o say that I have voted. The
fact that the speaker has actually voted
always creates a great Impression. There
Is first the curiosity to sec the woman who
has actually voted , and then to hear her.
Wherever we go the work does not meet
with opposition. The great difficulty is al
ways the lack of knowledge concerning the
movement. There are many questions , both
moral and concerning government , which the
people do not know how to decide unless
women vote. I think that the greater part
of the people of the country want women to
vote , and all we need do Is to agitate the
matter. "

Messrs. Schultz and Caldwcll ot the special
committee appointed by Mayor Ensor at Mon
day night's meeting of the council to Inves
tigate the petition requesting a reduction ot
telephone rates , met officials of the company
at the clerk's office yesterday afternoon and
discussed the matter. Vance Dine , general
manager of the Nebraska Telephone com
pany , and W. L. Holland , local manager ,
represented the Interests of the telephone
people. Councilman Trainer , who -was ono
ot this special committee , was unable to be
present.
Councilman Caldwell stated that ho unJer-
stood that a number of petitions were now
being circulated and would be presented at
the next meeting of the council. It the people
ple wanted lower telephone rates , ho said ,
ho Intended Jdolng all ho could to have the
local charges reduced : If not , why , ho was
willing to let the matter drop.
Mr. Lane Bald ho regretted that this mat
ter hid been brought up just at this time , as
the company he represented had planned to
enlarge and Improve the system here. Ho
did not , however , feel like spending any
money In South Omaha 'If ' the people were
Kolnt ; to harass and annoy the company all
the time. Among other things , Mr. Lane aald
that if the people wanted cheaper telephone
rates that could be very easily arranged ,
but In case tfao price was reduced the service
would fall off accordingly. He Impressed
upon the minds of the committee the fact
that the rates now charged are less than
In Omaha and that the contemplated Im
provements would be abandoned unless the
rates were allowed to remain as they are.
Taking up the question of law , Mr. Lane
said that the city councils of cities of this
class had no legal right to Interfere with
telephone rates and cited the city charter
to prove his assertions. The statutes were
pioduced and the committee was compelled
to admit that under the charter all matters
governing railroad , telegraph and telephone
rates would have to bo referred to the State
Beard of Transportation for adjudication.
Mr. Caldwell wis confident that City At
torney Montgomery would give it as his opin
ion that the council he3 the right to regulate
charges , and In order to allow the attorney
an opportunity of making a report the com
mittee adjourned until next Saturday after
noon. .
Hlth Diphtheria.
There does not seem to bo any abatement
In the number of ) cases of diphtheria. Al
most every day a-number of new cases are
reported and the feanltary Inspector Is kept
busy tacking up cards and disinfecting res
idences. In every ease where the patient
either gets well ot dies the city Insists upon
a' thorough fumigation and supplies for this
purpose two pounds' ' of sulphur , which Ls
burned. Besides ( his the cltj' furnishes each
family with a bottle of carbolic acid. Inspector
specter Carroll reports that many parents do
not use ordinary precautions In the matter
of quarantining their homes either before or
after death. At one place in the Third ward
the other day the Inspector fouud seven
women sitting around the bed on which a
bahy had just de\l ! from diphtheria , A number
of children were found playing in the yard
about the house and were promptly sent
home. Inspector Carroll says it is almost
impossible to make foreigners understand
the necessity for a strictly private burial , the
majority Insisting upon all the neighbors and

had terrible'bearing-down pains and would almost
fall in standing. I tried much medicine but kept going down. A year ago I
became very feeble. My menses would cease for two months. Then appear and
last for three weeks at a time. [ Sometimes my mind seemed almost gone. I was
very excitable , and had frequent sinking spells. My friends often thought I was
gone. I had two doctors but they said I couldn't live. They said at different
times that I had dyspepsia , falling of the womb , change of life and heart'disease.
A year ago this montli I quit the doctors and got some
and a package of Thedford's Black-Draught. I was then so feeble I couldn't do
my housework at all. I have taken three bottles of Wine of Cardui and two pack
ages of Black-Draught. Today I
can do all my housework and my
health is better than it has been in
jr eleven years. I have no symp
toms of dyspepsia or any of the
other doubles.
I have recommended Wine of
Cardui to five or six lady friends
and they all say its helping them
more than the doctors ever did.
Two friends away out in Texas
suffered the same way and I wrote
them to take Wine of Cardui and
Black-Draught. They said it helped
them very much. I hope God will
bless you for putting up such a great medicine that will cure all suffering women.
