Mob Was Too Drunk to Unlock the Jail
Doors.
LOUISVILLE, Aug. ia special to
The Commercial from Lebanon, KY,
says: A mob of about 40 men went to
the Springfield Jail about a. IN. and
demanded of the jailer the keys to the
cell of Matthew Lewis and Jesse Ray,
who outraged Mrs. Shields, white, re-
Gently. The jailer, seeing resistance
was useless, handed over the keys and
the mob at once proceeded to business.
AS everybody in the mob was drunk
none of them seemed to be able to un-
lock the Jail doors. After working at
the locks and bolts without success.
they procured sledge hammers and
tried to batter down the doors. The
doors proved too strong for them, how.
ever, and after hours Of hard work,
they then abandoned the job. Re-
turning the keys they told the jailer
they would be back. Later the sheriff
brought Lewis and Ray to Louisville.

are raging all the way to Elma over a
large territory OH both sides OF the
road. Several ranches are in danger
and occupants are using every means
for protection from the flames. In
most cases they are fighting fire and
many of them have buried all their
valuables, clothing. etc, to save them
in case they are obliged to flee.

FRUITS OF VICTORY
Negotiations Begun by China
and Japan for a Treaty
Of Commerce.
JAPAN A FAVORED NATION.
Now on Equal Terms With
Great Britain and Other
Big Nations.

WASHINGTON, Aug. l3.-Word
reaches the Japanese legation that the
new Japanese minister at Pekin has
begun the negotiation of a treaty of
commerce and navigation with China,
and that everything is moving smooth.
ly without the difficulties that had
been contemplated. This new treaty
follows the treaty Of peace made at
Simonoseki, which briefly recited that
when peace was fully restored new
commercial treaties will be formed. 1t
is an important document, as it gives
in detail the terms on which China is
to be opened to commerce, whereas the
peace treaty recited only the general
fact. The negotiations have pro-
ceeded far enough to show that Japan
will have the
Favored Nation Clause
as to commerce. This will be the first
time China has granted this clause to
Japan. 1t assures to Japan the lowest
rate of duty on articles sent to China
that the latter country exacts from any
other country.
Japan is thus placed on equal terms
for the first time with Great Britain,
the United States and other great pow
ers. Another feature of the treaty is
the establishment of Japanese consular
courts in China for the trial of Japan
ese. This is to insure the Japanese
against the crude judicial system and
harsh punishments of China, and is
similar to the consular courts that
other leading nations maintain in
China
