The Lynching Committee VIII Not
Meet an Enthusiastic Recep-
tion in the South.

SAVANNAH, Ca, Sept. 1L-In reply to
telegram from the New York World, ask
ing his opinion about the coming Of COM
mission of EDglishmen TO investigate The
lynchings at The South, Governor NOrthen
wired as follows:
"The people of this State are quite able
TO administer their own affairs, and they
are doing it 10 full justice to the negro, as
our laws ana our conduct attest We have
already endured more outside interference
in our local matters than we will submis-
sively tolerate in the future. Let these
kindly disposed Englishmen return to their
own country and prevent by law the inhu-
man sale of virtuOus girls to men in high
places; hang all such demons as Jack the
Ripper; punish as it deserves the barbar-
Gus wholesale slaughter of negroes in
Africa by Englshmen who go there TO
steal their gold; sRoplg the necessities to
prevent bread and labor riots aud strikes,
which are wholly unknown 10 the South |;
feed and give employment to the poor, as
do the peotle of my section; give to tie
oppressed Irishmen the rights humanity
demands, and when they shall have
pulled the beam out of their own
eyes they may with better grace
appoint themselves a committee to hunt
for the m ote that may be in ours. While
we have Irregularities at the South and
negroes are sometimes lynched. they are
never slaughtered by Wholesale, as Eng
lishmeD sometimes destroy them. send
you by mail the law and record on these
matters and challenge not only the Eng
lish committee on lynchings at the South,
but challenge the civilized world to find
better. Why come as an investigation
to deBounce the South just prior to Con-
gressonal elections. when we have just
had negro lynched in Kansas, April 3,
and another in Ohio on the Sabbath, on
April Is, and when the white Poles and
Hungarans have recently been butchered
in Pennsylvania aud negroes run out of
Franklin Park. n. j., in herds. We chal-
lenge investigation by all persons who
have the right to investigate these charges.
but any attempt upon the part of English,
tainted by their own national crimes, to
arralgn us for trial must be considered as
a gross impeTtinence."

LEO AND hUMBERT.
Crispi Is Said to Be Working for a
Reconciliation.

LONDON, Sept 11.-Under the caption
Of ''Pons Pontificis" the Pail Mall Gazette
prints an article with the object of show
ing that Premier Crispi is rapidly ap-
preaching a reconciliation between the
King and the Pope.
Last Thursday" the article says,
"SignOr Crisprs private secretary had a
long interview with Cardinal RampolIa,
the former being the first Italian official
who has visited the Vatican since 1870
The visit" the Gazette says, "began a
series oil negotiations, the results of which
are shown 10 the POpe's prompt establish
ment of an apo tolic prefecture in Masso-
wah, immediately following which King
Humble gave his assent to the office of
patriarch of Venice, concerning which ap-
pointment there has been a prolonged dis
agreement between the Vatican and the
Quirinal."
The most significant incident of all. how
ever, is the act of Signor Crispi going out
of his way in his speech at Naples yester-
day to compliment Cardinal San FeIice,
the Archbishop of Naples. and to summon
the church and the state to join their
forces against the common enemy. The
presence of Cardinal San Felice on the
platform, says the Gazette. betokened the
Willingness of the Pope to come to terms

JAPANESE AGGRESSIVE.
China Feels No Confidence in Admi-
raj Ling's Ability.

LONDON, Sept. ia dispatch to the
Times from Wei-Hai-Wei to-day says that
a commission composed of foreigners. after
examining the incidents of the naval fight
of July %. declares the Japanese were the
aggressors. The Chinese, the commission
adds, were careful to avoid the appearance
of provocatioD, but the Japanese waylaid
the Chinese. selecting a good position.
The Chinese senior ship escaped, making
r. running fight, while greatly damaging
her pursuers. The remaining Chinese ship
fought until the ammunition was exhaust
ed and two of her guns destroyed. The
same morning, it appears, the Japanese
arrived from Seoul and attacked the Chin
nese at Asan. These operations evidently
were well concerted.
The Chinese fleet, according to the Times
dispatch, is now col ected at Wei-Hai-Wei,
and is in perfect fighting trim. The Chin
Yuen has been repaired and is recruiting
seamen freely. An excellent esprit de
corps will enable them TO assert the su-
premacy Of China in Korean waters.
Continuing. the Times correspondent
The morning call., 1894-09-12

cables that both the Chinese and japanese
armies in Korea are seemingly inactive.
Peremptory orders now have been given
ern squadron to join Admiral Ling's feet
in the north without delay. When these
re-enforeements arrive, it asserted, the
Chinese fleet will commence operations in
earnest against the japanese. No con-
fdence, however, is fel. IN Admiral Ling's
ability to shOld even the Gulf of Pechili
against the japanese fleet, consequently
m any steamers belonging to Chinese firms
are being transferred IN the British flag
The raising of money for war purposes
proceeds, and the mandariDs commanding G
the provinces and districts are reported to
be squeezing the unfortunate Chinese with
out mercy. Traders and others possessing
property are receiving particular atten-
tion on the paIt of the mandarins. Three
merchants of Shan Tung, who showed
some hesitation to comply with official de-
mands, had their property confscatNd.
The Japanese have ordered the Koreans
TO cut their hair as a token of subjecti0n.
The Koreans refused to do so, preferriDg
to fight for liberty.
A dispatch from Shanghai to-day saws
that food and ammunition are said to be
spelling all along the route southwark. AS
a result, food is becoming very scarce 10
the Chinese army. According to the same
dispatch the pretense of Chinese naval ac-
tivity is absurd. The Japanese are said to
be maintaining such a strict blockade OF
the Korean coast that not even the small
est vessel can get through. Hundreds ot
Chinese sOldiers are reported TO have died
from want and exposure and much sick
ness is said to exist in the ranks.
On the other hand the Japanese are much
better prepared for active operations.
They have succeeded in keeping their
lines OF communicat ton open. and have
pushed their forces forward until they are
now threatening the Chinese flank.
The position of the lat er, with winter
rapidly advancing, threatens to become
untenable. Orders were sent from Peking
over fortnight ago for all the Chinese
squadrons 10 concentrate In the Gulf of
Pechili, but it appears these orders were
never carried out

WITNESSES MISSING.
Developments in the Meagher
Murder Case.
There Are Surprises in Store Both
for the Prosecution and
the Defense.

SANTA Rosa, Sept. 1.-The noted
psrtment of the Superior Court to-day
and continued TO November 13 at the re-
quest of Attorney Burnett, for the purpose
of securing the evidence of Detective
Richard Patterson, an important witness,
residing at Los Gatos.
Among the witnesses present were
Sheriff James Matthews of Monterey
County, who had been summoned by the
defense TO testify as to the confession of
William Young, who Is now in the Sa mas
jail under sentence of death for killing
Pierre Letestre last February. Young is
re epoI ted to have said that he bad been at
Petaluma at the time Mrs. Nancy Meagher
was shot; also that he stated he had CON-
mitted murders greater than that of Le-
testre.
Eugene Sully, a worthless character, who
had served out term of i'm pTisonment in
the county jill for larceny and was a cell
mate of Young, was subpenaed to give
the same evidence. Sheriff Matthews
UNEXPECTEDLY surprised the defense and
weakened the Young theory by stating to
District Attorney Snawell that Young had
been working for a farmer near Hollister
since last December, and any number OF
witnesses could testify to his continuous
residence in that locality, making it i'm
possible for him to have visited Petaluma
about the time of the murder.
Sully is not considered to be a creditable
witness, and it is not believed the defen Sc
will put him on the stand. The attorneys
for both the defense and the prosecution
are worried over the antics of the so-called
detectives who appear TO occupy every
feature of the case. The noted Phlinn
Ftz, the detective who succeeded in press
ing his services upon Moagher, the
wounded man, and who afterward sued
and sold out his employer, stating that he
had been hired by Meagher to make evil
dence duplicating the dead woman's rels-
tives, is wanted by the District Attorney
to explain certain Irregularities which have
been traced 10 him.
He was summoned, but failed to appear.
A subpoena was issued for Detective Pat
terson several weeks ago. but he could not
be found. 1t is believed that a number of
these energetic detectives with which this
case is burdened will be caught between
the upper and neither milIstones before the
trial ends.
