ACCORDING TO HIS CREED.
How Ii Hung Chang Paid Reverence to
His Mothers Memory.

How Ii Hung Chang Paid Reverence to
His Mothers Memory.
A Chinaman. be he king or cOolie, is
devoted to his father and mother.
When either parent dies, custom or
dams that the sons shall resign all hon
ors and employnents to repair to the
ancestral tomb and mourn there for q
long period.
Our former minister to China, John
Russell Young, tells in the Review of
Reviews how the Chinese premier. Ii
Hung Chang, was prevented from pune
tiliously observing the custom by an
imperial decree.
The aged mother Of the great Chinese
statesman died, and he hurried to cello
bratc the rites at her grave, accom-
panied by his brother, the viceroy at
Wuchang. Everyone was expecting
the premier's resignation, and his en-
forced retirement from sill official posi-
tons. His enemies thought that Ii
had gone finally; his place would be
filed byanother, and his power become
4 memory.
Suddenly there came a decree from
the throne commanding Ii to lay aside
mourning and, at the end of three
months, resume Office. His brother was
permitted to remain at the tomb and do
the flial reverence. The decree was
without precedent; but the emperor
was sacred and his command supreme.
Ii Hung Chang returned to Tientsin,
his home.
When Mr.. Young saw the premier's
yacht anchored in the harbor of Chefoo
he went on board to pay his respects.
The premier looked like starving beg
gar. He wore the coarscst .'airlent.
His beard and forehead had not been
shaved, and his queue hung down from
clothed mass Of hair. Lines Of sorrow
streal1cd his face, and his hands were
grimy.
The first man in the empire. noted
for his carefulness III raiment and clean
illness of person, appeared as the mean
est subject, that he might, by privation
and penance, do reverence to his
mothers memory, according to the
creed of his ancestors. A few days
later, when Mr.. Young met Ii at
Tientsin, the beggars mien had van
ished, and he was again the we'll
appointed nobleman.

DOM THE WHEAT PIT.
That Is Where Chief WIkerson Found
tho Gambler and EmbezzIer.

AAAS As Wner8 Chief WlIkerSOn Found
tho Gambler and EmbezzIer.
Chief of Police John M. Wikerson re-
turned from Chicago this morning at II
O'Clock with Lawyer W. E. Dom, the
lawyer who is wanted here for embezzle-
ment. The fact that Dom was complete
ly "broke" when arrested has not
told on his short but portly figure, or to
outward appearances or his spirits.
Chief Wilkerson had considerable
difficulty in finding Dom. 1t is no easy
matter to locate one man from among
million and half, 10000 of whom are
"transients," going and coming all the
time. In this Chief Wilkerson had
the assistance of two of the
shrewdest officers on Inspector Shea's
force, but they proved of little value.
They would see man and wonder if
that's him." and allow him to go on.
Chief Wilkerson soon discovered that
he would have to find Dom himself. He
was familiar with his habits and went to
all the the places where Dom would be
likely to go, not forgetting the gam
bling houses. Late Yesterday
the chief strayed into the wheat pit of
the lower board of trade, where big
crowd of men were specializing in grain.
After mingling in the crowd some time
he discovered Dom in company with old
Brad Murray, who is we'll known in
Topeka, watching the fun but taking no
part in the speculatiOns.
When Wilkerson laid his arm on Dom's
shoulder the latter was startled for a
moment, but did not manifest great sur
prise.
where are your papers ?" Dom
asked.
1--WE got 'em,' the chief replied.
They went to the sheriff's office, where
| the warrant was read by a deputy in
order that there might be no doubt
| The chief had taken every precaution
against writ of habeas corpus. going
first to Springfield and securing the
necessary reQuisition, and then going
to Chicago.
Dom was found to have reached bed
rock financially. lie was penniless, his
overcoat was in pawn, and he
owed for his board The chief
got his overcoat out for him
and paid the board bill out of his own
pocket before starting. They took a
Pullman car homo and no one on the
train suspected that Dom was aprisoner.
Dom refuses to talk. He would say
nothing to Chief WilkersOn regarding his
guilt or innocence, aud to JOURNAL re-
porter today Dom said, you can quote
me as saying what the clam said"
Mrs Dom who lives at 400 East Eighth
street has known right along where her
husband was, although she refused to
tell the police. Dom expected in time TO
send for his wife. The crime of the ar
| rested man is the alleged defrauding of
a client. A Nebraska capitalist named
Cecil sent Dom judgment of 5000 to
collect Dom succeeded in collecting it,
and sent Cecil $500, keeping the balance.
