had no thought of asking him to humil-

wronged him. The testimony given
at the court-martial showed conclusive
ly that Lieut.. Vandever's action toward
him was unwarranted, every officer in
the garrison knows it was unwar-

that no similar trouble may ever again

about to retire when Mrs. Colby said:

with pleasure as they drank in every

"How did you know?" she asked.
''His name does not appear on the pio-

"No one acquainted with his bold

The Road to Pekln.

NEW YORK, Feb. 2-Charles Denby Jr., secretary United States legation at Pekin, arrived here today on board the Paris from Southampton. He has been away from Pekln on leave for the last three months. To reporters of the Associated Press MT. Dsnby sad: The overwhelming defeat of the Chinese armies is great surprise. However, 1 do not think the prospects of the Japan ese army reaching Pekin are very bright.
 If the troops went by land It would be long march of two or three hun dred miles around the Gulf of Pechili from their present situation and il would take eighteen or twenty hours oi steaming for the transports to reach Taku, the seaport of Pekin, and to take Taku would be lAlarlous undertaking for it is very strongly fortified.
 This IS a post where the British troops met with 8 reverse on one ol 1 their invasions of the country.
 Mir. Denby thought the prospects o foreigners getting away from Pekin ir | case of a sudden attack were not very bright. He said there was no distiIc tion in the minds of the Chinese be tween nationalities. All foreign resi- dents come under the sa ne head witt 1 them.

 WAsHISaToN, Feb. 2.-The senate succeeded today i'll making progress on the appropriation bill without being led into an extended financial debate At one time it looked as though another financial discussion was imminent when MT. Hall of Maine and MT. Chandler of New Hampshire and MT Aldrich of Rhode Island made brief speeches denying current reports that senators were purposely delaying ap- propriation bills in order to cut of financial legislation.
 These senators asserted that there was no such concerted purpose and that the Republican senators stood ready to aid in advancing financial legislation.
 MT. McPherson announced that re- solution discharging the senate finance committee, thus bringing the financial question before the senate, would be urged not later than Monday. The day was spent on the District of Columbia appropriation bill.
 A bill wos pafssd granting 8 right Of way to the Gila Valley, Globe and Northern railroad through the San Car los Indian res ovation. This bill is designated to meet the objection stated m the presidents veto of the previous measure of the same character.

RELIGIOUS FRENZY.
A Woman Who Believed Her Children Were Scapegoats.
To Avert Punishment Upon Them She Tried. to Murder Them.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
 NAPA, Cal, Feb. 2.-An awful tragedy occurred here early this morning in the home of Peter Meternich, who resides in the northern part of this city. Mrs. Meternich while insane undertook to kill her four children and succeeded in doing them all serious injury.
 Mrs. Meternich has previously had periods of insanity but has not been very violent and her husband always cared for her at home and avoided hav- ing her committed to the asylum. Her mania was religion and she had delu- sion that she had greatly sinned against God and es a punishment for her sin her children were to be sold into slavery and she had threatened to kill the children to avoid this.
 Her husband went away to his work this morning at 6 80, leaving all at home in perfect quiet, but within half an hour his wife had taken an ax and with it fearfully cut and beat every one of the children.
 The children are Ethel, 8 years; An tone. 6 years Pauline, years and a baby IS months old. They were all struck, inhicting ugly gashes and awful bruises. It is feared that the baby will die, as there are symptoms of concus- sion of the brain. The other childre n will probably recover. She would prob. ably have killed them all but the neigh bors heard them scream and came to the rescue. The woman was caught in her frenzy and taken to the county jail and later in the day was examined and committed to the asylum.

A Colorado Woman on Equal Suf-

 The introduction of a bill into the Arizona legislature providing for woman suffrage has attracted much cores pondence on the subject from persons residing in states where such law is in operation. particularly in the etstes Of Colorado and Wyoming.
 The letters gre generally directed to Governor Hughes and most of them gre in support of the proposed legislation. A notable departure fiom the general trend of remarks on eqnal suffrage WAS received by him yesterday: The writer is also 6 woman. Her letter is not an argument but an exhcrtation and is as follows:
 'DENvER, Colo, 1895. Governor Hughes-I think any man who advocates or believes in woman suffrage is fool or crazy man. It las ruine ed our state. Respv.

MUSCULAR CHRISTIANITY
There is More Than One Way to
 Serve God.

There is More Than One Way to
 Serve God.
 There was fine exhibition of muscu- lar Christianity at the corner of Wash ington and First streets last night. The demonstrator was c. White, an evan gelist, stenographer. former lawyer and, as some say, crank, but as RE PUBLICAN reporter believes, gentleman of earnest purpose, good impulses, and more and better than all. Christian. Evangelist Whites audiences are never large, but what Is lacking ID mum Der is made up in fippancy, and it is doubt ful if he ever accom- mplished any real good until last night.
 In the midst of his discourse a big. burly drunken brute stepped in front of him and engaged in noisy competl- tion. His language was profane ard obscene. Finally Evangelist White stopped in the midst of his exhortatio:l and said, My religion has taught me to fight as we'll as to preach and to pray" He threw his right leg back and shot his left arm forward, landing in scientific style and stunning force upon the right of his competitors jaw The brute fell to the ground and lay for a minute as if dead. At last he showed signs of animation and ecram bled to his feet and disappeared in the crowd which had been attracted by this unex- pected feature of the revival services.
 "Now that the fight is over," said Evangelist White, wiping his forehead with 8 red bandana, i've will resume preaching. Praise be to God that am able to serve Him in this manner"
