IMPERIAL EDICT A BLIND

Edict Issued by a Magistrate Slandering the
Christians-Stringent Measures Alone

NEW YORK. Aug. 31.-The World will
print tomorrow the following cablegram
from Foo Chow, China:
The commission of inquiry into the
Hwasang massacre, sitting at Ku Cheng.
progresses slowly. Over 100 arrests have
been made. There have been twelve cap
ital convictions. The vioeroy retards the
work by refusing to give the project dis
cretion. There is delay over each ques
ton referred to the vfceroy. The inten-
tion Is to exhaust the patience of the
commission. At the present rate the
trials will require a year. The imperial
edict issued commanding severe meas
ures is mere blind. Rioters at Hok
Chang attacked the Christians and
wounteI four and destroyed their homes.
The dangerous situation is the fault of
the magistrate, who issued a proclama
ton slandering the Christians. Unles
Amerira can be induced to take vigorou
measures. it is feared that there will be
general rioting. British weakness en-
cuurages the Chinese. The American
government is the only hope. Consul
Hixon is energetic. All the Americans
have arrived at Foo Chow.

TICKET SCALPERS ARRESTED
They Have Used the Mails for Fraudulent
Purposts

PurpostS
NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 31.-Barrett and
Wenar, doing business as railroad ticket
ciated with them at various points, were
arrested today for issuing fraudulent rail
road passes. The Southern Pacific esti-
mates that it has been fleeoed out of
about $4,000 in fares and has detectives
at work since May. In addition to these,
liable assistance by becoming a conductor
and ostensibly falling into the schemes
of the com bine, carrying out their orders
and seeing through the passengers who
had forged passes. Letters addressed to
him. though unsigned, formed. the basis
of the charge OF fraudulent use of the
mails, on which the arrests were made.
The scheme it is said, was well worked
and the passes would hardly have been
distinguished from genuine ones. The
firm is said to have agents in all princi-
pal cities along the line. and when a
passenger decided to buy ticket he was
furnished with pass from point be-
yond his destination and received a good
rebate for turning over the ticket at his
landing place. In that way the company
never saw the tickets, which were de-
stroyed by the agents, and it was difficult
to trace the frand. A decoy system was
attempted and worked with success as
already stated. After it was determined
to make the arrests, the different parties,
thousands Of miles apart, were all landed
in ial within four hours. Ba rrett was
arrested here. Other arrests were mado
in New York and Houston.
