TORTURE OF JAPANESE STUDENTS.
The Correspondence Will Verify the State
msnts OF Mr.. Juiisn Ralph.

WASHINGTON, d. c.. Jan. s-The Off
Gals OF the State Department have prac-
tically finished the preparation OF the
reply to the resolution Of the Senate, IN
troduced by Senator Lodge, calling for
the correspondence on the subject of the
arrest, detention, and release OF the
two japanese students who were tortured
to death by the Chinese authorities, and
the documents will probably be sent 10
the Sen9te to-day. 4 neir publication VIII
verify me truth of all the statements
touching this deplorable affair recently
published by Mr.. Julian Ralph, who made
a personal investigation OF the facts IN
China. 1t will add. moreover, a most
humiliating chapter to the annals OF state
Department diplomacy under the present
administration, and will convict secretary
Gresham of surrendering the students 10
their enemies unnecessarily and OF hav-
ing allowed himself to be wantoniy de-
ceived and insulted by the Chinese Min
lister without fitting rebuke.
The correspondence will show that the
alleged spies were turned over TO the Chi
nese Government by Consul Jernigdn,
upon the peremptOry order OF Secretary
Gresham, acting at the solicitation or the
Chinese Minister. who made formal
agreement in writing that no action LOOK
ing to the punishment of the prisoners
should be taken until after Minister Den
by should Rave arrived at Pekir from his
visit to the United States. In violation OF
this agreement the stu!erts were tortured
tented himself by sending the mildest
kind of a diplomatic Tehuke TO the chi
nese Minister for the violation of his
pledge. and thus closing the incident.
included i'm the correspondence TO be
submitted are letters from Consul Jerni-
gan and young Mr.. DENLY, actlng Minis
ter to China during his fathers absence
i'm this country, containing very clear and
convincing arguments why the two Young
Japanese should have been kept under the
Jurisdiction of the United States. il APP
pears 10 he perfectly clear from the cor
respondence that If Consul Jernigan had
not been peremptorily ordered 10 turn
over the prisoners he could have easily
delayed doing so until opportunity should
arise for them to make their escape. In
deed, IL Is said TO be a fact that more
than three hundred suspected japanese
stuuents did escape from China before
steps looking TO their arrest could be
taken. The documents to be submitted
10 the Senate on their face convict the
Chinese authorities OF violation OF pledges
and the murder of the students. and de-
monstrato most forcibly the weak and
laundering diplomacy of Secretary Ores
ham.

cbarge6 the other with the murder OF
the FrencA girl According TO Mon
chanaint's accusation, Lemaire destroyed
his victims solely for the purpose OF secur-
ing what money they had In their pos
session. In the Contassiot murder Lee
marie first Frustrated his victim with
chloroform and then strangled her with
a towel.
A martial confederation Of the state
ments of Monchanaint was effected by
j. w. Williams. colored hod-carrier.
who also this morning appeared before
the police Williams averred that late
one afternoon, while walking on Market
street. he caught up to Lemaire and Mon
chanaint who were proceeding uptown
The pair were discussing the murder OF
three girls, and Williams overheard one
of them say:
II did it," and "I'll get that other
-"
According to Monchanaint's story. he
met Lemaire last August, and with him
visited several saloons on Market street.
Then he pointed to Lena TapperS place,
saying:
II think she has lots OF money. / will
kill her. and I will get It,"
After this murder he told Victor he had
done II, and cautioned him. On October
nth he pointed out Marie Contassiots
place. where he thought about $500 was
hidden. The statement continues:
81 was coming from my shop on the
opposite side of the alley, when ! met
J,enaire coming out of the back yard or
Marie Contassiot's house Lemaire. who
was very excited, was shaking, and said
TO me;
"I have done another job
"Lemaire started TO run up the alley
toward Twentieth street, and ran through
Chinatown / ran after him short way,
and asked him where he was going. All
the reply he made was: Get out OF the
alley
Il met Lemaire on the morning follow
ing on the corner of Twenty-first and
Market streets. He said to me: GOOD
morning, Victor. | did a job down there
where you saw me come out / thought
the woman had lot of money and jewels;
but / did not find il all, but got some
"He further said: Il don't think the de-
tectives can find out that | did the job.
as | have thrown away the chloroform
and everything that would throw sus-
picion on me-
"He and / parted, and he went away
saying: Keep quiet about this.
Next came the details relating to the
Japanese woman, the third one strangled.
Monchanaint related how the attempts
hal been made, but failed. His final
words are:
THE next 7 met Lemalre was about
November 18th or 26th in the alley at
Twenty-first and Market streets. He then
said 10 me: 4 have killed all those wo-
men. and | mean to kill some more and
the detectives cannot catch me- He said:
L do my work clean.
