CHINESE JUSTICE.

Counterfeiters Ordered Decapitated and
Their Captors Promoted in Rank
. SAN FRANCISCO, Dec 29.-According
to the latest advices from the Orient,
Ii Ka Chuck, superintendent of the
Canton police, on Novem Der % sci zed
a large number of counterfeit Chinese
coins and materials for their manufac-
.ture- The chief coiner, Cheng Tung,
and his confederates, Chan Mui, Use
Sang and others, were arrested.
An imperial decree from Picking
commanded the immediate decapita-
ton of the three above named offend
ers and enjoins the viceroy to deal
with the others as he thinks necessary
according to law, a warning in
future to the people. The officials who
effected the seizure were all promoted
in rank.

A Scotch story.

They were old friends and had been
sweethearts in their younger days
There was silver in her hair and snow
in his and they sat and talked of old
times when they were young. They
did not speak of dates. 1t was simply
when we were young" Their first
meeting, their first quarrel, their last
kiss, their last quarrel, were all gone
over. Perhaps they both warmed a
little over the recollections- At last
he said:
''Ay, Jennie. an I haena loved ony-
body since you'll I hae never forgotten
your
John" she said, with little mois-
tening of the eye, you're jist as big
storyteiler as ever, an 1 believe ye jist

SPAIN CANNOT WIN.
Former Consul to Cadiz Gives Few Goot
Reasons for This Belief.

Former Consul to Cadiz Gives a Few Good
Reasons for This Belief.
TOPEKA, Kan, Dec. 3O.-R- W.
Turner, of Kansas, consul to Cadiz,
Spain, under President Harrison, in
speaking about the Cuban war and its
probable result, said that the Span
iards were not fighting SO desperately
in Cuba to save the island as to save
the present home government Mr..
Turner took occasion while in Spain
to acquaint himself of every detail pos
sible concerning that government, and
for that reason his views on the Gu
ban war are of interest To a
correspondent he said: Spain as
nation is powerless, and. although the
present queen regent is the ablest
ruler Spain has had for years, the gov
eminent is weighted down with the
difficulty of MISREPRESENTATION at home,
in addition to her colonial embarrass-
ments- In my opinion Spain can never
conquer Cuba, the reason being that
the people are hopelessly divided
among themselves and the country
bankrupt"

SANTA EE CASE.

Judge Myers Says tho kansas Alien Law
Does Not Apply In This Case
TOPEKA, Kan, Dec 29.-The Santa
Fe receivership case, which lately Gre
ated a ripple on the ocean of COM
merce, was yesterday deposited on the
shelf at Oskaloosa by District Judge
Louis A Myers, who decided that the
Kansas alien land act, under which the
suit was brought, did not apply to rail-
road property. This practically dis
poses of the case. The suit could go to
the supreme court only at the instance
of the attorney and it is known
that Mr.. Dawes would not act, and
it is generally believed that Mr.. Boyle
would have nothing to do with the
controversy. Judge Keller, who as
sisted in the prosecution, however. had
e exceptions noted to the ruling, but he
probably did that from force of habit
Mr.. Hite, Judge Keeler's partner, adj
mitted that there was little prospect of
an appeal from Judge Myers decision

PROF. ABBOTT.

The year Just closed has furnished an
alarming array of prominent men who
have died of Bright's disease of the kidneys.
The number includes Professor Austin
Abbott, the great jurist and author of law
books; M. B. Brady. the famous photog-

of the eBoy Travellers; Mark NJ
Pomerov, the vell-known editor; Mr. Ed

If death loves a shining mark it is also
certain that Bright's disease finds its vic

DUBLIN, Dec 29.-There was a large
meeting at the Mansion house yester-
day to protest against the overtaxa ton
of Ireland as disclosed by the royal
commission. The report showed that
Ireland is now overturned to the amount
of Sc. $50, 900 (S13. $50, OoO) annually.
The meeting was attended by the
Catholic and Protestant archbishops
and the leading merchants of this city.
Resolutions were passed demanding
that the government remedy the in
justice done to Ireland in the matter
