Laborers Committed Exeesses
After the Capture Of
Port Arthur.
BIZ Cable to the United Press.

NEW YORK, Dec. 8, 1894-The Toxic
correspondent of the Central News says
undoubted evidence has been obtained
that during the night after the capture
of Port Arthur a number of army labor
ers who had been armed with swords for
their own defence, with a view of doing
away with the necessity of detailing
soldiers for their protection, entered the
town, and, after drinking of Chinese
spirits until they had become frantic,
committed revengeful reprisals upon the
Chinese inhabitants. The Mikado and
Government officials, upon being informed
Of the facts. expressed themselves as
greatly chagrined, and His Majesty at
once ordered that a most searching in
vestigation be made and the culprlts be
severely punished.
The correspondent of the Central News
at Shanghai telegraphs that the newly
appointed Nankin Viceroy will make
many changes among the officials under
his control. 1t is also said that he IN
tends to increase the number of forts
on the Yang-Tse-K River, and to
place more torpedoes in that stream
with the intention of rendering its nayi-
cation more difficult and dangerous for
foreign vessels.
A new Admiral has been appointed to
the command of the Nan-Yang, or South
ern, squadron of China.
The belief is general among the Chinese
that the japanese fleet will visit the
Yang-Tse- -Kiang River during the win
ter.

HOW TO GET THE PRISONERS UP
Problem which the New Female
Prison Prespuas.

The construction of the cells for the
new female detention prison is in pro
gress at the Third precinct station house,
Oakland avenue. Perhaps the good Com
missioners who selected the place failed
to notice the break-neck stairway which
leads to where the cells are being built.
The five female cells are situated on the
floor above the old prison in the rear of
the station house. The only way they
can be reached is by fire escape stair
way, about two feet wide, on the out
side of the building. The police are in
a quandry to know how they are going
to lodge a female prisoner, especially
think that the directors of the work in
tend rigging up some apparatus by which
the captives can be hoisted up to their
prison abodeS.

HUNTING FOR CLUES.
Hoboken Post Office Robbery stiIl a
MYSfcrY.

The robbery of the HoboSen Post Office
last Monday afternoon of a large guam
tity of stamps still remains shrouded in
mystery. No new clews have been dis
covered that would lead to the detec-
ton of the thieves, nor has ANYTHING
arisen from the clew given by I, imy
Patterson, the twewlve-year-old son of
sub-station Postmaster Patterson.
Mr.. Curran told a News reporter this
morning that the loss would not amount
to as much as at first supposed. Instead
of 1850 worth of stamps having been
stolen, only $6, 472.59 worth was taken. Of
that a large quantity was unstable due
stamps and newspaper stamps for bulk
packages.
The Postmaster received word this
morning that the post offices at Scranton,
Pennsylvania, Patchogue, L. l., and an
other in Indiana had also been robbed
in almost the same way the Hoboken
office was. Yesterday morning Postmaster
Curran increased the reward for the cap
ture of the thieves from 5000 No $500.
Inspectors Lewis and Holden are
thought to have struck upon an import
ant clew this afternoon, as they went off
on a different tack in rather mysteri-
a1ls manner

REPORTERS PRIVILEGE.
Argument for the Sugar Hearing
Recalcitrants To-day.

.
WASHINGTON Dec. s. 1894.-The case
of the recalcitrant newspaper correspon-
dents, Schriver and Edwards, was argued
today on demurrers in the Supreme Court
of the District of Columbia before Judge
Cole The indictments found by the
Grand Jury alleged in substance that the
defendants, being called before a duly
empowered Senate committee of inquiry,
refused to answer questions propounded
by that committee as to the sources of
their information that representatives
of the Sugar Trust had held long con-
ferenees with prominent Senators at the
Arlington Hotel and had there substan-
TALLY secured in the new tariff bill what
the Sugar Trust wanted.
Ex-Judge A. j. Dittenhoefer, of New
York, represented the defendants. He
claimed among the record points that
the communications made to the defend
ants We're privileged. He disconrsed at
length on the great services which. the
press had rendered to the public by it's
Investigations into crimes and other mat
ters Judge Dittenhoefers next PROPOSE
ton was that both Edwards and Schriver
were excused from answering for the rea-
son that the answers might crinrinate
them and make them liable tosa criminal
charge of libel. The next proposition
was that the law under which the in
dictment was found was insufficient, for
the reason that it required witness to
testify even though his evidence might
criminate him, and it had been held by
the Supreme Court of the United States
that statute could not be constitutional
when applied to one class of persons and
unconstitutional when applied to- another
class.
In this view Judge Dittenhoefer con-
tended it was immaterial whether the
evidence of Edwards and Shriver would
have tended to criminate them so long
as the courts held that in no case could
a person be compelled to give evidence
that would criminate him
