cHINA's TREATIES.
New Set Which Will, in a Measure,
Emancipate Her from Onerous Re
strictions.

Washington. April 16.-China is to
have a new set of treaties with the
great nations of the world, which will
in some measure emancipate her from
the onerous restrictions she is now un-
der and enable hei - adjust her own
revenues to the nations needs.
Much of the credit for securing the
consent of the commercial powers TO
the negotiation of these treaties is due
to Ii Hung Chang, who employed to
the best advantage the opportunity
afforded by his tour of the world. Still,
the change would have been long de-
ferred had not the war which China
waged unsuccessfully with Japan so
involved the former in debt as to oblige
her foreign debtors to recognize the
fact that China must be given power
to raise additional revenues.

SEATTLE OFFENDERS.
Prospects of an Expected Triple
Hanging Go Glimmering.

Seattle. Wash, April 16.-Seattle peo-
pie have been expecting triple hang
ing here next Friday. Indications now
are that there may be one. perhaps
not any. As stated, Governor Rogers
will commute the sentence of William
Carey for the killing of the Indian
woman with whom he was living, TO
life Imprisonment.
Today Superior Judge Jacobs granted
a stay of proceedings in the Nordstrom
case until an appeal now pending in
the United States supreme court is
heard. Nordstrom was sentenced to
death for shooting a man at Cedar
River about two years ago.
The third case, that of Henry Craze
mer, is the only one left that may re-
suit in a hanging.
Judge Jacobs today denied an appli-
cation for a writ of cerram nObis, so
the sentence of death still hangs over
Craemer. His attorney will appeal TO
the state supreme court. however, and
his life may yet be saved.
