Detective Witsil, while walking out
Eighth street Friday afternoon, saw
two strangers standing ON Wash.
ington street. He suspected that they
were not Straight" and determined to
shadow them. After a short converse
ton one of them started down Eighth
street toward Market and the other re.
manned on the corner
The fellow who came in Eighth street
stopped in front Of house between
West and Washington streets and after
deliberately examining its exterior went
to the front door and peered in the
keybole, after which he proceeded to
the rear of the house.
Detective Witsil Immediately ap-
preached the man ON the corner and
told him that IL he and his companion
did not leave the city at once he would
arrest them. He also went to the other
fellow and warned him. Both men i'm.
mediately departed.
Detective Witsil promptly notified the
Central station and gave the police a
description of the men, so that they
could be watched If they remained in
town. His action probably prevented a
burglary.

VICTORIA, B. c., July 20-Advices from

dale are as follows:
FREE SPEECH FORBIDDEN.
A large meeting convened In Toxic.
June 10th. at which more than 20 promi-
nent leaders of parties opposed TO Count
ltos ministry were expected to make
speeches. From the beginning. however
1t was evident that no expression OF
opinion adverse to%fhe government would
be tolerated. No speaker was allowed to
touch upon the subject of the recent
negotiations with Russia, Germany and
france; Thirteen orators in succession
were silenced by the police beforc they had
occupied the platform for five minutes
Some of them endeavored to accomplish
the desired effect by giving extracts from
works on international law, the apnlica-
ton of which was oSlivious. but this de.
vice was summarily checked as soon rs
detected.
The audience became impatient at this
extreme measure of repression and pres
entity broke into wild denunciation of
police tyranny, The danger had been
foreseen, and Mt the most critical moment
large body of gendarmes entered and
subdued the agitation. It waslthen decided
to dissolve the meeting. as nothing could
be gained by further persistence.
DEMANDING PREPARATION.
Representatives of France, America ant
England at PelSin are demanding repara-
ton for i'll treatment of missionaries and
the destruction of foreign property in the
province of Szechuen, with vigor which
startles the Chinese government. Liberal
offers OF pecuniary compensation are ten-l
dered, but these will not be considered
until after the instigators of the outrages
have been duly punished.
Ships of war of the three nations con-
cerned are hurrying to the districts where
their protection is needed, and a squadron
of French vessels is charged with the duty
OF exacting atonement by the severest
methods, in case the demands of the
ENJOYS are not Immediately complied with.
The central government is bewildered aud
but shows that it recognizes
the emergency by dispatching a new vice
roy in haste to take the place of the official
who provoked the riot.
PROBABLY NO LIVES Lob.
No direct intelligence from members of
the missions at Cheng TIL have been re-
ceived. The Americans however. are be-
lieved to be safe and there is no evidence
that lives have been lost.
