SUN TAT SENS PRBDIoAMBST
Shut Up in the Chinese Embassy in
Londes-England Angry.
By Cable to the United Press.

LONDON, Oct %. 1s96.-The London
friends of the Chinese physician Sun Yat
Sen, who a few days ago was seized by
emissaries of the Chinese Legation and is
still detained at the Legation as Chinese
political prisoner, say the authorities of
the British Foreign Office knew nothing
whatever of the Imprisonment Of Sun Yat
Sen until informed by his friends. Detec--
tiyes in the employ of the Foreign Office
are constantly on watch in the vicinity
of the Chinese Legation in order to pre-
vent the smuggling of the prisoner out of
the country The case will be referred to
the legal authorities OF the crown.
The Chinese authorities now make no
secret of the fact that Sun Vat Sen is a
prisoner at the Legation and contend that
they can do what they like with Chinese
subject within the Chinese Legation
which is Chinese territory to all intents
and purposes. The British authorities, on
the other hand. maintain that the rights
of foreign legations are protective only
as regards their lawful inmates, and are
in no sense administrative.
LORD Salisbury has made demand up
on the Chinese Legation for the imme-
date release of Sun Vat Sen.
The demand of Lord Salisbury was COM
Piled with and Sun Vat Sen was released
from the Legation at five O'Clock this af-
ternoon.

nue. Warfare.

on Thursday last the Street and Water
Board at the request of Mayor Wanser
dedicated the westerly end Of Danforth
avenue, which runs across the meadows
to the Haekensack River, as a public
thoroughfare. The right of way for the
extension was acquired some years ago
when the city built sewer which emp
tied into the river.
In dedicatiilg the old sewer right of way
for street purposes the Mayors object
was to defeat the East Jersey Water
Company's scheme to reach Baycnne with
water pipes In order to furnish that city
with the surplus How of the Peauanf1ock
plant, built originally for Newark. BY the
creation of the new street the company
would have been compelled to secure per-
mission to cross from the Street and wa

mony with the Mayor, had agreed not to
grant such permission In this way ii
was believed Bayonne could be held es
a customer for this city in the event Of
tne acquisition OF new permaneflt sup
ply of water.
