LONDON, Dec, THE French govern

diplomatic action at Pellin, accompanied
by a naval demonstration at tho treaty
ports, have met with a distinct rebuff
from the English and German govern

no definite proposals. but merely de-
signed to ascertain the views of the diff
ferent powers His view differs from
the view which the English foreign Of

Several communications have been re-
ceived at the foreign Office, through the
French embassy, giving French consular
reports on the state of affairs in China,
and urging that England and France
unite to exert pressure at Pekin. Minis

1886, the parties above entered into
an agreement by which Mr.. Widell
was to quarry out a certain strip of
land owned by the others, and was to
pay royalty on each carload SO TAX
en-. The amount to be paid by Mr..
Widell was not less than 5000 the first
year, $3.50 the second year, and 81 900
the third year. In case the strip Of
land was quarried out within the
three years, then Mr.. Widell was to
quarry on block 43, which the other
parties claimed to own. Mr.. Widell
exhausted the strip and when he
came to block 43 he claims that the
Winona & ST. Peter road set up a
claim to it's ownership, and for that
reason he ceased longer to quarry
stone. Mr.. Hall ct al claimed that
they owned the block and that Mr..
Widell should have gone on with his
quarrying. When the latter ceased
to quarry he ceased to pay anything,
claiming that he was not to pay I'M
less he quarried, while the others
claimed that he was to pay the
amounts named, as he could have
quarried if he wanted to. 1t was here
that the point came. The suit was

the guns are left unloaded, so nobody can
tell who fires the fatal shot. At this Creek
execution the condemned man was seated
on the ground with his back against a tree
and his legs stretched out in front. He
was not bound to the tree nor were his
hands tied. Just before the execution
some one put bandage over his eyes, but
the prisoner tore it off and threw it away.
Perhaps the strangest part of the pro-
ceedings was the selection of the execution.
