perIenced a most disastrous con-

spread to the Enterprise printing

volunteer department was entirely
inadequate for the occasion.
Telegraphlc appeals for aid TO
the Wheeling, Cambridge and

time the cistern that supplied the
engines went dry and the request
was countermanded. The fire was

The Students Were Spies.

Washington, Jan. J5.-The
President today sent TO the Senate
the correspondence in the case o!
two Japanese spies, together with
letter from the Secretary of State
ia which it stated the American
consnls had no authority to pro-
tect Japanese in China except Sc
faras uslug their good offices when
occasion demanded. 1t was clearly
stated to Minister DENLY by
Minister of Foreign Affairs Mutsu
that during the progress of war
Chinese subjects in Japan must be
directly in the Jurisdiction of Jap
anese courts and military autborl-
ties and that the treaty provisions
to the contrary were necessarily
abrogated 10y the war situation,
This of course, carried with it the
status of Japanese subjects in
China. The letter further states
that there is scarcely any doubt
the supposed students were spies.
The Secretary in his letter states:
"On the 18Th of August the
Chinese minister at this capital
complained to me that the United
States consul.general at Shanghai
was protecting two Japanese spies,
who had been arrested IN that city
and whose surrender was deman-
ded by the Chinese authorities In
order that they might he dealt
with in due course. After proper
inquiry into the circumstances OF
the case the demand was recOgniz
ed as lawful and the men were or
dered to be given up. This was
not done, however, Without proper
measures being taken TO prevent
precipitate or summary action by
the Chinese authorities. At the
same time | requested there was
no authority to demand it-that
the accused men might not be
t led until the return of Minister
DENLY to PekiD, 1t being supposed
that this would afford opportunity
for investigation and deliberation.
The Chinese minister at once
promised compliance and suOse'
quently informed me that bis gov
eminent had acceded to the re-
quest. Without questioning the
lawfulness of the sentence under
the laws of war, l regret to say
that tue men were beheaded about
SIX weeks after their surrender,
but before the return of Colonel
DENLY to China. That the prison
ers were not boys, but men and
spies in the service of japan, there
is small, If any, room for doubt"

ments in the art of making iron
during the last few years, 1t says,
have resulted in the turning out by
the furnaces of fifty per cent. more
iron than was before possible With
the same plant. These statements
are no doubt correct, and there is
much promise In them of a great
future for the Birmingham mineral
district. Improvements in pro-
cesses by which the furnaces pro

did a short time ago is worth a
great deal more to that district
than a mere revival of industry.

conditions that formerly would

the movement has begun and will

for the benefit OF the bookmakerS

huge mistake, to say the least OF
it. The enactment of such a law
was a mistake in some, a crime I'D
others and a wrong against society
