JAPANESE HUMANITY.

Tho Result of Their LAtely-AcquIred Civ.
tization, A GOdfsend to Chinese Prison.
ers, Five Thousand of Whom Would
Have Been Beheaded Upon Being Re-
leased Had They Not Been Protected BY
Treaty StipaIati0ns.
WASHINGTON, April 20.-The stipula-
ton in the treaty of peace between
China and Japan that the Chinese who
have been captured by the japanese
and others who sold supplies to the
japanese troops in their march through
Manchuria and Shantung shall not be
punished by the Chinese authorities,
was inspired by humane considera-
tions- It is the custom of China to be-
head such of her soldiers as fall into
the hands of the enemy and are after
wards returned to their country. Dur
ing several naval and land engage
ments, upwards of :. 1000 Chinese troops
were captured by the japanese. and it
is to preserve their lives that the fore
going provision was inserted in the
treaty. The same considerations in
to the purchase of supplies from Chi
nese subjects
The curious fact develops in this con-
nection that China has not q single
prisoner of war in her hands belong
ing to Japan
The United Press dispatch which
contained the exclusive announcement
that the indemnity to 20o, 0o0, 600 taels
will be paid In seven yearly install
ments differs from official reports pre-
viously received, which limited
the payments to Eve instead OF
seven instruments 1t is believed,
however, that the statement
contained in the United Press dis
patch is correct While no definite in
formation has been received regarding
the matter, it is understood that the
indemnity will take the form of a
bond issue on the part Of China, the
bonds to be retired during period OF
seven years, and to bear interest at S
per cent per annum- The presump-
ton is still very strong that the in
demnity viii be paid in silver.
Until the beginning of the war be
tween China and Japan each coun-
try had consular jurisdiction
over its subjects in the other country
1t would now appear that Japan will
NO longer grant this privilege to China,
although STIMULATING for "a continuance
of this right for herself. The explana-
tion given for this exception is that ia
pan is now a civilized country with
code of laws based on the highest
principles Of justice and equity and
that she can be safely trusted, there
fore, to deal fairly with the Chinese
subjects living within her borders.
China, on the other hand, it is asserted,
it still barbarous country and for
eigners residing there must receive the
protection of their own country, since
little if any will be afforded to them
by the local authorities.

FOUND HIM GUILTY.

The C0rOner's Jury in the Case of Minnie
Williams Hold Young Durant for the
Murder-The Evidence Against Him,
Though Circumstantial. Clear and Con-
vincing-That in the Case of Miss La
mont Still More So.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 20.-The coro-
ner's jury yesterday charged Theodore
Durant with the murder of Minnie
Williams, one of the young girls who
was recently killed in Emanuel Bap-
fist church.
Durant awoke yesterday in cheer
full and even fippant frame of mind.
He laughed and cracked jokes with the
prison officials, to whom he has here
tofore shown intense reserve, and
when Capt. Douglass entered the
prison for the purpose of escorting the
prisoner to the inquest, Durant
greeted the captain pleasantly and
smiled as the handouts were snapped
upon his wrists
When the inquest was resumed DR..
Vogel and Elmer Wolfe were called,
but their testimony developed nothing
new. Wolfe accounted satisfactorily
for his movements on the night of the
murder.
seeing Durant on train coming back
from Alameda on Monday, the sth in
slant, thus corrobcrating the state
ment of Morgan, at whose house the
girl was living. Durant has denied
that he was in Alameda on the date
mentioned. Miss Willis further testi.
fed that Durant boarded the train at
Park station, which is about block
from the Morgan residence.
The last witness was DR.. j. S. Bar
rett, the autopsy physician, who gave
testimony as to the cause of death. In
the witness opinion the wound in the
heart had been made after death. as
was the deep breast wound. Other
wounds had beer made before death.
Examination had also shown that out.
rage had preceded the murder. At
the conclusion of DR.. Barrett's testi.
mony the jury retired.
After being out half an hour the
jury returned verdict finding that
Miss Williams 'tcame to her death
from hemorrhage due to lacerated
wounds and asphyxia due to strangu-
lation," and I'VE further find from evil
dence obtained that the crime was
committed by one Theodore Durant,
and we find him guilty thereof"
Chief Crowley said: 1.-THE evidence
against Durant is clear and convinc-
ing. and / am fully satisfied of his
guilt We shall prove beyond shadow
of doubt that he met and murdered
Miss Williams, and have no hesitation
in saying that the evidence in the case
of Blanche Lamont is even stronger
than in the former case"
Coroner Hawkins has decided to hold
the inquest in the case of Miss Lamont
on Monday morning next
