CHINEsH CRIMINALS In the treatment Of
their State criminals the Chinese move with
characteristic tardiness. and doomed man has
many months of life before him. Routine fxes
the month of December as the most convenient
season for public executions. The prisons in al
the different provinces are all we'll stored with
criminals under sentence of death, but when the
end of the year approaches the Minister of Jus.
tice revises the list of these s3nvicts, striking
out any names that be desires to spare. The pa
per is then submitted to the Emperor, who in
turn revises the list and exercises the imperial
clemency. When December comes round the
fatal list goes the circuit of all the Provinces.-
The governor assemblies his prisoners and holds
. solemn review at the place OF execution. The
time has now come for formality and action. The
paper is brought in duly sealed. The seal is
broken and the listread out Those whose names
are crossed out learn their good luck for the
first time; the others, without needless ceremony
or delay are then and there executed. To
European the heightened suspense would be in.
torable, but the Chinese are phlegmstic, and as
the majority of the convicts get pardoued they
are IS hopeful TO the end as New York murder.
