The Landing of Marines at Klaochan
May Arouse Russian Protest.
Berlin, Nov. 16.-The Neueste Mach
richten. referring to the landing of
force at Kiaochan bay, province Of
Shan-Tun, China, of German sailors
and marines, with view of forcing
the Chinese government to make repa-
ration for the murder Of German mis-
sionaries, says
"Kiaochan bay will afford an excel
lent base for the German fleet in East
Asian waters. 1t has long been regard
ed in German commercial circles as a
worthy object of German ambition.
Moreover, as the English interests lie
further south and the Russian further
north, German occupation of the bay
need not affect them. Germany did not
Join France and Russia in settling the
differences between China and Japan
in order to strengthen Russian and
French interests, but rather to promote
her own"
There are four German warships in
Kiaochan bay, with 1.G42 men. 1t is
doubtful that the occupation of Kaioch-
an, If effected, will last long, as Rus
sia has been negotiating for the cession
Of Kiaochan bay and Tsia bay, in order
to use them as naval ports.

BERING SEA COMMISSION.

Washington. Nov. 1.-THE British.
Canadian and American delegates to
the Bering sea meeting Mtd confidently
expected to bring their labors to u
close yesterday. but after two arduous
sessions, lasting until $50 last even

reconcile all their differences. 1t was
determined. therefore. to continue the

reaching an agreement or all but three
or four reserved propositions. These, 1t
is expected, can be agreed upon today,
SO that the expert report can be signed
and the meeting concluded so far as the
experts are concerned.
This will make available all the data
necessary for the consideration of the
vital diplomatic question of stopping
pelagic sealing. The intention Is that
General Foster, Sir Wilfrid Laurier
and Sir Louis Davies will meet this
afternoon to go over the results re-
ported by the experts, and If possible
agree upon basis Of settlement. 1t
is intimated that the Canadians might
make a counter proposition, not going
as far as the American representatives
desire in the way of limiting pelagic
sealing, but yet offering a possible
ground for amic3be adjustment.
Equally reliable sources stated that II
the issue assumed the form Of pelagic
sealing or no pelaglc sealing, as now
seemed likely, it would be extremely
difficult to reconcile the differences.

MEXICAN LYNCHERS.
Several Rx-Police officials May Es
Sentenced to Death.
THE PROSECUTION DETERMINED.

Tho Sensational Killing OF Arroyo
While Under Police Protection VIII
Be Promptly Ayengcd-The Son of
President Diaz Married.
Mexico City, Nov. 16-Great crowds
surrounded the prison at Belen and the
vicinity Of the palace Of justice yester-
day, when 13 prisoners, mostly ex-
police officers, implicated in the lynch
ing of Arnolfo Arroyo were taken
through the streets in wagons and
coaches for trial. Shouts of kill them"
were heard from the populace, but the
prisoners were well guarded by mount
ed and foot police. The public prosecu-
tor asks for the death penalty on Villa
vicencio, ex-inspector. who suggested
the murder to his chief, Velasquea. the
inspector general of police, who com
mitted suicide in prison. ViIav!cencio
expects to escape with life imprison-
ment.
Manuel Belido, major of police. Is one
Of the principal criminals. as he was
privy to the crime and took no means
of preventing it. Miguel Cabrera, as
sistant chief Of the detective service,
also knew of the predicted killing and
he took no steps to prevent it. Mauro
Sanchez. policeman, was guarding
Arroyo, and was aware of the intended
crime, and frightened up Arroyo's
straight jacket, SO he could offer no
resistance.
Iglacio Pardaue led the band Of as
sassins. Capital sentences are asked
In all these cases. The other criminals
are of minor degree, but some of them
are likely to be sentenced to death.
Captain Porfirio Diaz, only son Of
President Diaz was married yesterday
in the archbishop's private chapel to
Senorita Raigosa, daughter of one Of
the principal families Of this city. A
number Of distinguished people were

tion. Captain Diaz has recently re-
turned from long sojourn in Europe.

AN APPEAL TO THE JURY

This Is the tenth of series OF articles
written by David +. Hollingsworth in be.
half of his brother Abner who was mur-
dered at Wooddale quarries on June 11th,
1895.
At the inquest, where this wrong was
Seen 'y ali men who had come
10 witness what was said by them,
Who was alleged had done this sin,
Not one mark of truth was shown,
By this villains actions known;
On the ground OF what he said,
Regarding where he found the dead.
The banks not in this case to-day,
known all yo men upon tho way,
No item of truth was there to show
That therefrom had come this woe.
Should he persist to overcome
The proof there on the ground as shown,
Hi; guilt Is great upon his hand;
Then for this crime he now should stand.
On tho hillside then and there,
Showed the tracks Of two men bare
In that circle there around,
Before the dead was taken down,
At his very door those marks were
made,
Where this poor young man had laid,
With his life SO young and sweet,
Thinking then no harm to omeet.
While he lay upon the ground
In silent sleep he there was found,
p Ono fatal blow and 10 thoy trace,
Tho marks of death upon his face.
Take tho proof of those two men,
by whom was heard this threatening
tieEd,
Say and point what he would do
To this man before the night was through.
Their word Is as good IS they.
On The wi IS stand t liy
Tho truth is all is wanteu now,
In This case begin to Prov,
Tho law cannot let one man go, go,
With all this evidence here to show
His guilty hands grlpped thereon
To this poor mothers beloved son.
In the sight of God the law demands
This man to be compelled to stand,
At the bar of Justice and show tho spot
Where he came to this awful lot;
The sin that's back of this case to day,
Would make any Christian stand and say,
demand to know the identical spot,
Where this villain had the murderer got
Let this jury before God demand,
This case to be opened and all to stand,
By the truth for him who met his doom,
Now restlng there in the silent tomb

Telegraph says that within the next

Ing between Senator Quay and Sec

as likely to be present, among them
Thomas Dolan. The final details of

JERSEYS ANTI-GAMBLING LAW.
Appeal to the Supreme Court For
Recount of Votes.

Recount of Votes.
Trenton, Nov. lex Senator W.
D. Edwards of Hudson county. late
yesterday afternoon made application
to Justices Van Syckel, Dixon and Col
Inns, of the supreme court, for recount
of the ballots cast for and against the
anti-gambling amendment to the con-
stitution at the special election on
Sspt rs. Mr.. Edwards stated that the
antigambling amendment had been
carried by S02 votes, and that he had
reason to believe that nearly If not all
of the 961 rejected ballots were against
the amendment. and If counted would
change the result. He then explained
how these ballots had been rejected by
the election officers under a misappre-
hension of the law.
Justice Van Syckel asked Mr. Ed
wards how he expected to bring the
matter up, now that the governors
proclamation had been issued declaring
the amendment part Of the consti-
tuition. MI Edwards said that the con-
stitution provided that an amendment
to be carried should receive a major
ity of the votes. and that 1t was not
within the power of the governor or the
legislature by any law to defeat this
constitutional provision. Justice Dixon
seemed to coincide with Senator Ed
wards on this point, and the hearing
was continued until today

and without their testimony the state
has no case against the two surviving
suspects, B!ackhawk and Defender.
There is. therefore. now no possibility
of convictng them. ana at the com
