End Of a Sensational Insurance Case
Miss Bueckner Tells of Her
Rescue from the Elbc.

BRUSSELS. Feb. 3.-Mme. Henry Joni
aux, accused of the murder of three of her
relatives, for the purpose of obtaining the
insurance on their lives, was this Sunday
morning sentenced to death. The jury was
out only three quarters of an hour. So long
drawn out were the arguments of the law
yers In the famous case that the closing
speech of the defense was not finished until
l o'clock this morning. There was a period
Of anxious waiting until members of the
jury fled into the court room when their
leader solennly announced: w find the
prisoner, Nine. Henry Joniaux, guilty on
all counts of numbering and administering
poison with intent to cause the death of
Alfred Ablay, the brother of the prisoner;
Ieonie Ablay, the sister of the prisoner,
and Jacques Vanden Kerchove, the uncle of
the prisoner" Then the judge of the As
size Court pronounced sentence of death on
Nine. Joniaux.
Nine. Joniaux, ffty-one years of age. Of
the very best social position. was charged
her sister, NJ. Alfred Ablay her brother,
and NJ. Jacques Van Den Kerohove, her
uncle. The evidence against ,r the prisoner ila Q

historian, NJ. Frederick Faber. by whom she

though involved in debt, she undertook to
pay the premiums on insurance policies for
10000 francs and 10000 francs, respectively,
effected On the life of Mile. Leonie Ablay
with two Swiss and Dutch companies. These
policies, which were in favor of Mile. Faber,
daughter of Nine. %Joniaux, were signed at
the end of December, 1891, and at the be-
ginning of January, 1892, and on Feb. %, Mile.

denly from what was described as an at

Reaching Peklng Are Not Good.
NEW YORK. Feb. 2.--Charles DENLY, ir..
secretary OF the United States legation at
Picking. arrived here to-day on board the
Paris from southampton. He has been away
from Picking on leave for the last three
months. To a reporter AIR. DENLY said:
The overwhelming defeat Of the Chinese
has been a great surprise. However, L do
not think the prospects of the Japanese
army reaching Picking are very bright. If
the troops went by land it would be a march
Of two or three hundred miles around the
Gulf of Pe-Chi-Ii from their present situa-
tion. andit would take eighteen or twenty
hours ateamin for the transports to reach
Taku. the seaport OF Peking. And to take
Taku would be a serious undertaking., for it
Is very strongly fortified. This is the port
where the British troops met with a re-
Verse ON one OF their invaslons of the coun-

case of a sudden attack was not very bright.
lie said there was no distinction made in
the minds of the Chinese between nat:onaIf-
ties. All foreign residents came under the
same head with them. Mr.. DENLY was asked
IL he thought the United States was well
represented by war ships in Chinese waters.
He said: There are more United States
men-of-war In the station now than there
have been for years. The Monocacy is there.
the BALTIMORE, Charleston and Concord are
on the station and so is the Petrol, though
the latter vessel Is frozen up at New Chang.
where she Will likely stay until March. The
Detroit Is also bound for China. [ saw her

effect of the war on China and japan.

seven places in China where powerful ar
senals or dockyards have been established,
and 1t boasts, further, of a naval college
for the training of cadets. a special ad-
vantage which the harbor possesses is that
I. can sometimes be entered during the win
ter, when other northern ports are closed
by ice, and on this account the place is re-
farded by the Chinese as possessing excep-
t.&nal value.
Wei-Hai-Wei is a walled city of consider
able size; so large. in fact, that a few years
ago there We're many fields within the city
walls under cultivation. This is a eharac-
teristic of many Chinese cities, Nankin,
the southern capital being another ex-
ample. In the northwest corner of Wei
tiai-Wei there Is a hill on which are sew
eral famous temples. The number of in
habitants is not commensurate with the
area of the city, and the shops are very in
ferior. The west gate is in a good state of
repair, but the other gates are in a very
delapidated condition, and some are closed
altogether. The district surrounding Wei
EIai-Wei Is very populous, and the people
are generally well-to-do. A good deal of

fed, not on mulberry leaves, but on the
leaves of the oak shrubs, which cover the
hills surrounding Wei-Hai-Wei This kind
OF silk is also made in Japan. and is called
YaEaa-bai.
The capture of Wei-Hai-Wei will, whether
the fleet is captured or not, result in the
disappearance of the Chinese navy from the
northern waters of the empire. The navy
Isl crafty shattered as 1t is, and with no safe
necessary, the remaining ships would find
it, impossible to continue their presence in
the gulf OF Pechili. From the above dis
patches, however, the capture or destruction
OF Wei-Hai-We is the greatest disaster to
China since the fall of Port Arthur.
