LONDON, Oct GA dispatch from
Tien tsin says that the Pei Yang SOU adj
ron has been able to leave dock complete
ly refitted, with magazines filled and oth-
erwise ready for active service.
Another dispatch says that an imperial
edict has been published at Peking as.
suming for the government full RESPONSE
bility for the protection of the foreign res
idents, denouncing rowdyism and pun
ishing certain culprits shown to have TAX
on part in the recent assaults upon trav-
elers The imperial edict also assures
strangers that their persons and property
will be protected, and its wording 'spe-
cially favors the missionaries The whole
tone Of the edict is highly satisfactory.
Still, according TO the dispatches, the
Chinese overtures for peace having been
rejected without hearing, the war now
enters upon chronic stage demanding
an appeal to the latent forces of the em-
pire The latter are described as being
quite great but, it is added, they require
time in order TO organize them.
The correspondent also says that the
Chinese government is prepared, though
reluctant to do SO, to engage in pro
tracted conflict The party in power rec
ognizes the urgency Of radical military
and fiscal reforms. Tho question is, How
long will the natural cohesion bear the
strain of a great war; Tho danger Is, the
correspondent adds, that revolution may
be followed by prolonged anarchy.

tie an Important Question.
BY The Associated Press.

ALBANY, Nov. l2. Governor Flower is
willing to allow exports to make = test
to ascertain whether man killed In the
electrical chair can be resuscitated.
Ever since thF gsoptt0n Of tho electrical
execution act by the state, the Westing
house people, whose dynsmos are used
have declared that electricity was not tho
cause Of doath, but that death was assured
by the holding OF an autopsy directly after
the body had bean taken from the slsctri
cal chair
Nicola Tesla, the famous electrician, has
contcnded that he could bring hack TO iifo
q man killed in an electrical chair, pro-
vided the attempt was made Immediately
after execution. George Westinghouse
has always asserted that the electrical
death was sham, and that New York
commission, headed by Elbridge T. Gerry,
had added the autopsy clause TO tho law
SO as to make 1t certain that the man was
dead
Within the past few weeks the agitation
Of the subject has again become promi-
nent and an appeal Is to bo made TO the
governor Co allow tho next man con.
demnsd to death at Auburn to be expert
mented on. This requoat 10 the one the
governor says he will grant
The attemps, u made, will undoubtedly
create intense interest In the scientific
world. IL will also arouse curiosity
among laynen, because n suooessiul 10
will bring to lie n man whe cannot be
again executed, having cnoe suffered the
penalty OF death. It will also prove that
the state sxecutioners have been the sur.
geons who have held the autopsy rather
than the state electrician.

New Yoeg, nov ls.-Another murder
has been added 10 the long list Of sisailar

lie was Thomas Miller, 30 years old, and
lived with his wife in poorly furnished
looms about block away from the place
where he worked, and where his dead and
inangled body was found before dayligS
yesterday by policeman.
Cullen's sroneyard is surrounded by n
t'gh fence, and in one corner ID ths low
ilding which forms the office. Millsr's
body lay in the back room OF this build
ing. The head was mass 81 bruises and
the brains had been forced out upon the
floor by the savage blows which had been
struck. Al the side OF the head lay long
and strong poker, the weapon which had
evidently been used by the IN murderor.
The crime was apparently absol ateiy
without motive. Robbery could not have
been the motive, Tor the sum Of tse ~, the
savings of the old man, which he always
carried with him, was found untouchod
upon him. Neither had the safe, which
stood in the front Office, nor any 81 the
tools in the place bean tampersd with or
taken.
It is supposed. in the absenos OF any
known motive, that someone with whom
he had had difficulty NJ some time
killed the old man for revenge, but who
such an enemy could have been, no one
can tell at present..
