CHINESE GRADUATE
ofYaio Infvei eIsd H6me and Horribly
Tortured.


VICTORIA, B. C., July S.-Accordipg
to the Picking correspondent Of the
North China Daily News, Dr.. Yung
Wing, LII. D., Of Yale University, was
studying medicine and law at Yale up to
three months ago. when he was visited
by a Chinese, with whom he left Yale
for the west. It has since been learned
that the Chinese brought to DIT. Yupg
Wing letters and papers from Prince
Ching comforting upon him a position
under the imperial Chinese government,
providing he accompanied the bearer
OF the letters to Shanghai. The doctor
accepted the position and he and the
Chinese friend sailed on the steamer
coptic for Shanghai.
AS soon as the Chinese were put
ashore in the lamrh which took them
from the Coptic At woosung they were
met by a number of Chinese who bound
the doctor and threw him into a bam-
boo cage In which he was carried to Pc
king. on the arrival at the Chinese
capital the doctor was imprisoned In
temple. While there he was horribly
tortured, his body being burned with hot
irons.
It was given out by the local authors
ties that DR.. Yung Wing was impris-
oned because he was believed to have
had relations in. or connection with the
late unfortunate reform movement, but
It is alleged in reality he was made o
prisoner by Prince Ching, who hoped 70
extort money from his friends: This
scheme was nipped in the bud by an
American resident Of Picking to whom
the doctor managed to send word of his
predIcament and who succeeded In eff
fectlng his release.

Special Dispatch TO the IntoiilseneCr.
CHARLESTON. W. Va, July a.
steps are now being taken to bring
about a settlement Of the indebtedness
OF ex.sherin Arbogast. Of Pocahontas
county, who failed and left the state
several years ago, owing 1T consider
able money. The matter has been
pending in the courts since 1885 and
part OF the shortage has been collected
from the suretles. but proceedings to
collect the remainder were deferred,
pending decision Of the supreme
court In a case involving Similar princi-
pies.
Arbogast was elected slieriff Of Po-
cahontas county IN 1884. He served out
full term, retiring IN 1883. In 1880 he
WAS appointed 10 MI vacancy. In
1892 he was reelected. He served until
1885, when he became insolvent and
shortly afterwards left the state. Be
fore he became insolvent his old sure
ties went on his bond and he gave a
new bond. The old suretieB thought
they had been released from liability.
but they were held for their share. A
Judgment was obtained against them.
and under this the property Of a large
number Of small property holders had
to be condemned and sold.
When It came TO recovering for the
liability stlll due on the new bond, the
question presented itself whether q gem
eral bond could be held for liability In
CURED on the school bond given by the
sheriff, which bond proved to be in
solvent, The court decided that the
general bond was so liable, and the
sureties on the new bond will therefore
have to make good the remainder Of the
shortage.

Eight Thousand of Them AnX-
iOus to Surrender.
Even Aguinaldo Is Said to Be
Waiting an Invitation
TO LOWER HIS FLAG.
Desult0ry Firing Continues
Near Caloocan,
But the Americans Pay Little
Attention to It.

Manila, Feb. 81, 4:55 p. m.-The COM
missioners who returned from Malolos
under a flag of truce today report that
5000 insurgents are anxious to surren-
der. They also express the belief that
Aguinaldo is inclined to accept pacific
overtures. Major General Otis did not
receive the commissioners.
Except for an occasional volley and
some individual firing by the insurgents
from the jungle near Caloocan along
the river and in the vicinity of San
Pedro Macati, all was quiet along the
entire line last night. The enemy's
sharp shooters at Caloocan continue to
annoy the soldiers in the day time; but
the Americans no longer pay much at
tention to them, reserving their fire I'M
til the F'ilipinos appear in the open in
sufficient force to justify a vOlley or an
occasional shell.
During the night time the men are so
accustomed to the enemy's salutes that
a majority of them remain und1sturbed,
secured by the OutpOStS and Sentr1eS.
In Manila absolute quiet prevails; the
streets are deserted and the only sounds
to be heard after o'clock in the even
ing are the tramp of the patrols and
SentrieS and the occasional CHATTER OF
the hoofs of an officers horse.
The insurance companies after con-
ference have decided to accept war

Hong Kong, Feb. 27-The Filipino
government has issued another V1rulent
anti-American decree, in which the fol-
lowing passages occur:
1.-THE American guns respect neither
honor nor property, but barbarously
massacre women and children.
Manila has witnessed the most hor-
rible outrages, confiscating the proper
ties and savings of the people at the
point of the bayonet and shooting the
defenseless, accompanied by odious acts
of abomination, repugnant barbarism
and racial hatred worse than the doings
in Carolina. Unless you conjure holy
war for independence, you are only
worthy to be slaves.

THE QUAY DEADLOCK.
Democrats Plan to Gain Senator or
Else Elect Quay.

Washington, Feb. 27.-Ex-Congress-
man Joseph c. SibIey, who has been in
Washington for several days, takes
back with him letters from Democratic
leaders which it is expected will bring
an end to the senatorial deadlock in
Pennsylvania The legislature is at
present divided about as follows: Quay
ties lis, Democrats, 81; Reformers, 50.
The Reformers have been insisting
that the Democrats combine with them
to defeat Quay. Mr.. Sibley's contention
has been that this would be a case of
the tail wagging the dog. He made a
proposition to the Reformers that If
they would seelct any good Democrat
as their candidate the Democrats would
abandon jerks and go with them. They
laughed at him. He came to Washing
ton to lay his proposition before the
leaders of the party. They all indorse
his contention that the Reformers must
select some Democrat if they want to
defeat Quay, and he carried back with
him letters to that effect. If the Re-
formers reject this proposition which
they probably will, the Democrats Will
break the deadlock by voting for Quay

Albany, N. Y, Feb. 27.-For Republi-
can nominee in 19Oo-Theodore Roose-
Welt of New York
Backers: Thomas c. Platt OF New
York and Henry Cabot Lodge of Massa-
chusetts.
The visit of Gov. Roosevelt to Senator
Henry Cabot Lodge in Washington is
not purely a social one. No other pub
lie man in the country enjoys the con-
fidence of the governor as does Senator
Lodge.
The governors visit to Senator Lodge
has partly to do with business matters,
but the principal object that will be dis
cussed during his stay with Senator
It is said that Senator Platt's ambition
to land a president is so overwhelm-
ing that he is willing to back Roose-
welt.
Senator Lodge wants to see his guest
nominated by the Republicans next
year. Gov. Roosevelt can easily hold all
the New England states, that is, pos
sibIy, excepting Maine, which will prob
ably present the name of Speaker Reed.
Massac husetts will be for Gov. Roose-
welt if Senator Lodge can influence its
decision.
Gov. Roosevelt, accompanied by Mrs.

went direct to the home Of Senator

OVER A TOWEL.
Attorneys Dispute and the Kunkel
Poison Case Goes Over a Day.

Lawrence, Feb. 27.-At the opening of
court Saturday Judge S. A. Riggs, trial
judge in the case of John ]. Kunkel,
accused of poisoning his wife, Lydia, as
tonished the prosecution and pleased
the defense by a ruling which neces-
STATED an adjournment until Monday.
Prof. Edward Barlow of the Kansas
university had resumed the witness
chair. Attorney Mitchell held up before
him towel, from which pieces had
been cut, and witness identified it as
one from which he had cut pieces,
stained by matter expelled by Mrs.
Kunkel just before her death, for the
purpose of making test for arsenic.
asked Mr.. Mitchell
Judge Barker, for the defense, OBJ
1ected on the ground that testimony
had not been offered to show that the
towel in question was not one of those
given to and used by the undertaken
when he embalmed Mrs. KunkePs body.
This is point for argument" said
the court, land the jury will retire.
This is a case of murder" inter-
rupted the court. The rule is rigid in
these matters. 1 do not propose to per-
nit an error to be made if 1 can help it,
1t is a question of fact for the court
to determine. not the jury. 1 do not
propose to let the jury determine where
the articles came from. This is a QueS-
ton about which there must not be any
doubt. Satisfy yourselves that you can
trace the towels used by the embalmer,
and that the towels here are not the
towels used by him. The court knows
enough about embalming to understand
that embalming fluid can not be used
on a body without some of the fluid
coming in contact with towels or other
articles used
