OUTRAGEOUS CONDUCT AT AN OHIO
REFORM FARM.
OF Two Children Sent There One is
Dead and the Other Seems to
Have Been Whipped Into Sc.ii-
Lunacy.

Chicago April 1S.-A special from
Toledo, Ohio, says: Mrs. Sarah Haw-
kins, of 573 Smith street, tells a story
of the Lancaster reform farm, which,
even if partially true, should demand
investigation on the part Of the state
authorities.

kins, my two children, Moses and
Henry, were sent to the farm by a
truant officer of this city. They were
very little fellows. being only and 9
years of age. Last week | was noti-
fed that the youngest boy was dead
and his remains were sent here, ac-
co1npanied by the older son. When
they left the city they were in per-
feet health, but from what Moses
says. the boys have been worked and
whipped in a most outrageous man

were hungry nearly all the time In
the afternoon of every week day he
had been kept at what was, for
boy, hard labor. He took up his pant
aloons and showed where his legs
about the knees were sore and bis
tered, the effect. evidently. of having
been severely thrashed. He said he
was often whipped for trivial misses
in his lessons, and that heavy sticks
were used for that purpose. The
boys appearance is that of a child
whose growth had been stunted and
whose spirit had been broken by con-
slant punishment.
The mother said she knew nothing
about her younger boys condition Sifss.
til she received a telegram that he
was dead, and asking if they should
send the remains home.

Washington. April 1s-The British en-
bassy has received a telegram from the
New York counsel of Dr. Buchanan,
condemned to be electrocuted next Mon
day, asking the ambassadors interven-
ton, on the ground that Dr. Buchanan
is British subject, and has not been
given q fair trial according to the con-
stitution. 1t is understood that any ac-
ton by Sir Julian would be confined to
an unofficial suggestion to Secretary
Gresham that the governor of New York
be asked to grant a temporary reprieve,
but such suggestion IS very unlikely.

Gals is to give full credit to the action Of
American courts.
Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British am
bassador. declines to interfere on behalf
of DR.. Robert W. Buchanan, the New
York wife murderer. He is of the opinion
that the case is not one which justifies

Washington, D. c., April 1S.-The AS

lowing card from Lady Henry Somerset,
the we'll known temperance advocate:
"Reigete, England.-My attention has

MY experience of the fairness of the

Rieh. of Merchant steamers.

WASHINGTON, April IL. : Secretary
Gresham has laid down some doctrine
touching the rights of merchant steamers
in foreign ports to afford asylum to ref
ugees that may be of great importance to
commanders of vessels. This was called
out by letter addressed to the state de-
partment in December, 1898. by c. p.
Huntington, president of the Pacific Mail
Steamship company, asking for the exact
definition of the powers of captains of
merchant steamers in this respect.
The secretary responded that the So
called doctrine of right of asylum, having
no application to merchant vessels in
port, il follows that n ship master can
found no exercise of discretion on charac-
ter, as often charged against refugees.
While no general rule can be laid down
as q comprehensive principle, a merchant
in foreign port is within the local juris-
diction of that country with respect to Of
fenses or offenders against the laws
thereof, and an orderly demand for the
surrender OF the person accused of a
crime by due process of the law. with the
exhibition of the warrant of arrest in the
hands of regularly accredited officers of
the law, may not be disregarded or re-
sisted by q master of ships.
