YANG W REGRETS 1T.
He is Profoundly Sorry for the Massacre
in China.

He is Profoundly Sorry for the Massacres
in China.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 7.-Minister Yang
Yu of China and his secretaries, Messrs.
Hoo and Chung, have returned to Wash
ington to take any action that may be re-
quisite in connection with the reported
massacres of missionaries and the de-
struction of American and English mis-
sionary property in China
The period of their vacation at the
watering places was about over, but the
shocking character of the reports and
the official action likely to be taken
by the powers doubtless expedited their
policy of declining to discuss publicly
subject which may involve diplomatic
questions.
Yet in view of the wide publicity given
to the reports of massacres, the minister
authorized the Associated Press, through
his official interpreters to express his
profound regret at the reports. Thus far
there is a meagreness of official informa-
ton and the minister hopes that the
later and fuller reports will modify the
severity of the unofficial reports which
have come to the press.
In any case. he EXPRESSES the fullest
confidence that the central government at
Pekin will do all in its power toward
humane and ample PREPARATION. In the
absence of exact advices from the govern
ment the minister cannot say what his
course will be. He is grateful however,
that the reports do NOT disclose any
Americans among those stated to be
killed.
1t is stated positively that the Chinese
government has not yet made any official
communication to the United States as
surfing PREPARATION and future protection
to American citizens and property in
China
1t is believed among the Chinese Off
Gals here that the secret societies of
southern China are at the bottom of the
present trouble. The central govern
ment at Pekin is said to be ready and
anxious to keep these societies in check
but there is difficulty in dealing with
them owing to their remoteneas from the
centers of government
Should it be esta blished as the reports
indicate, that any officials have connived
at the uprisings. they will be dealt with
very severely. In the present case the
massacres may call for much more severe
treatment than formerly and it is said
that the responsible persons will be made
to suffer amply. 1t is pointed out how
ever, that mob uprisings are apt to occur
in any country, and so far as China is
concerned, the central government will
earnestly exert all its resources to sup
press and punish such mob destruction.

"Party feaIty is the curse of this coun-

''As far as local matters are concerned, l
am sure it would be much better if no
party lines were drawn. If people wosld
vote for the men and the sentiments they
represent without thought of party it
would be better. As time passes the
people are growing to think more that
way and it will result in good In IA
tional affairs it is probably different.
The interests of the country are SO di-
verse that what will suit one section may
not suit another and it would be difficult
to get along without great political par
ties
81 can not predict what the future will
be but there will certainly be some great
changes very soon and 1 would not be
surprised if the result would be the en-
tire destruction of party lines"

Forty spectators sat around the
ring and had been enjoying the
battle. The appearance of the police
caused stampede. but no one could
escape the guard which had been placed
about the building. Principals, specta-
tors, rope, chairs, towels and gloves were
taken to the Hyde Park police station in

FOR A MODEL PRISON.
Leavenworth Will Endeavor to Get Nel
Federal Building There.

LeaVenwOrth Will Endeavor to Get q New
Federal Building There.
LEAvENwoRTH, Kan, Aug. THE
question of a new penitentiary-s model
for all future penal institutions in this
country-is being discussed today by
many citizens who are more or less in
terested. 1t is argued that the present
buildings-calIed the federal peniten-
tiary, are wholly inadequate for the
purposes intended They cannot be
made over and finally metamorphossd
into a new and model institution that
would be a credit to this government
Warden French decided in his own
mind that something entirely different
would be required Colonel French is a
prison reformer-a man versed in pen
ology. He cannot put his knowledge
into practical use without first having
the necessary buildings.
Warden French was introduced to
United States Senator Lucien Baker and
there followed a conference between the
two. It is understood Col. Ere chs con-
ference with Senator Baker was entirely
satisfactory; that the senator is heartily
in favor of a new prison building such
as has been alluded to- 1t is further
stated that he proposes to use his influ-
ence at Washington for the consumma-
ton of the project.
1t is reasonably certain that in the
event of favorable action by congress in
this matter the new penitentiary will be
built within the limits of Leavenworth
city and not on the reservation. It would
cost $500, 900 and in every respect be a
model Institution of it's kind

SAYS TWAS A MISTAKE
DR.. Eastman Thought Mauer Had
Died of Apoplexy.
DIDN'T KNOW UNTIL AFTERWARD

That His Neck Was BrOken-After tho
Examination the Asylum superin-
tendens As Cleared.
The investigation of Gust Mauer's
death at the insane asylum yesterday
closed in the evening with the refusal of
the prosecution, with Judge W. c. Webb
as attorney, to present any witnesses,
They were satisfied, they said, that DR..
Eastman was not to blame in any way,
and that he might have been mistaken
on his first examination of the body re-
garding the cause of death.
Dr. Eastman's testimony was to the ef-
feet that he supposed at first that Mauer
died of apOplexY. but he had thought
afterward that as Mauer had suffered
from paresis the bones of the neck might
have broken easily.
When he was summoned to Mauer's
side and saw that he was still alive, he
Immediately began to use restorative
stimulants, such as whisky by injection
aud move his arms to induce respiration.
This work lasted nearly half an hour
when it was discovered that the heart
had stopped beating.
Mauer had had several attacks of
apoplexy, DR.. Eastman said, and he knew
that fall such as he got would be very
suits For this reason he had made no
examin alton for a further cause of death.
The coroner's investigation had convinc-
ed him that he was wrong.
The committee could not wholly agree
with the doctor that it was exactly the
right thing to do to allow a body buried
without ascertaining exactly by exami-
nation the cause of the death.
DR.. Eastman's explanation that in all
institutions of the kind harmless patients
were used to help take care of helpless
ones, and that he had considered Hug hes
harmless because he had never had any
trouble with him before, was accepted,
though the committee and attorneys were
not ready to agree that it was exactly a
good practice to allow any patient to as
sist in the care of other patients.
It is we'll understood that the report to
Governor Morrill, will entirely exonerate
DIR. Eastman and the employees of the
asylum.

CHICAGO, Aug. 7.-Major, the big Lin

ined. For some time it has been noticed
that one of Majors teeth was getting
black. This is a sign of a disease of
the jaw, that often results in an ulcera-
ton. The examination was to see if
it would be necessary to pull Majors
black tooth.
Keeper De vry, H. H. Cross, and a
number of invited guests went to the
cage. De Vry and Cross entered, but the
others kept at what they thought safe
distance. Major seemed to be exceed
ingIy hospitable. D@Vry fOndled the
animal awhile and then opened its
mouth, while Cross inspected the black
tooth. He said that he did not think an
extraction was necessary, and the two
men left the cage.

THE UNIVERSITY TAX LEVY.
Franklin County R refuses to Levy It OWN
to Misunderstanding.

Franklin County R sfuses to Levy It Owing
to - Misunderstanding.
The attorney general is receiving let
ters from the county officers inQuiring
about the disposition made of the state
university levy. It seems to be gener-
ally understood that Attorney General
Dawes gave an opinion holding that the
various boards of county commissioners
might make the levy. The county attor-
ney of Franklin county has advised the
commissioners of that county that they
can not levy the tax as The Ottawa Re-
publican says
'sWhen the state legislature made an
appropriation of 100000 for State uni
Versity purposes. and adjourned without
providing for the levying of a state tax
therefor, matters began to assume q cha
otto condition around about the state
house, and there was much casting
about for way out of the predicament.
''Finally Attorney General Dawes came
to the relief of the unhappy regents of
the institution with an opinion to the
effect that the county commissioners of
the various counties could levy tax for
this purpose.
"In due time the auditor of state sent
30 County Clerk Baily the tax levy for
state purposes, including that for the
university fund. amounting to $1,501.24
ms entalleo the leVylng OF three
tenths of mill tax County Attorney
Welsh was ask for an opinion, and
promptly Informed the board that it was
not authorized by law to make any such
levy; this can only be done by the legis-
1ature; otherwise it would be in contra :
yention to the state constitution. The
board thereupon declined to make the
special levy"
Attorney General Dawes said: ssThe
thing is a mistake. 1 never gave such
an opinion. OF course the county com
missioners have no authority to levy a
state tax The tax was levied bv the
legislature and that is all there is to it.
There is no cause for trouble or alarm. "

No assistant attorney general has yet
been appointed for Wichita and it is
hardly likely that one will be appointed
soon.
Attorney General Dawes said to a
JOURNAL reporter today: San assistant
will be appointed in Wichita if one is
needed. If the new board finds that
they cannot enforce the law, one will be
appointed, for the law will be enforced.
| AS to who the assistant would be or
when he will be appointed I cannot say"
Dawes offered the appointment to Col.
w. P. Campbell and that he refused
to accept. if Col. Campbell had &C.
cepted Wichita would now have an
assistant attorney general. but as it is,
she may escape an appointment entirely.
