Bush and removed to New York city
and opened a law office. His wife was
extravagant. That part of the couples
life in New York city is spoken of
this way:
A certain charming young woman
would order large bills of goods at
the big mercantile houses and when
asked for reference would refer to
"her solicitor, Robert ]. Knox" He
would say that she was good for all
she ordered. The goods We're deliv-
cred, but many large bills of that kind
remain unpaid.
They went to the City of Mexico
then and there Mrs. Knox bought dia-
mond jewelry to the amount of $10,-
900. Knox gave a draft on A j..
Whiteman of New York, his friend,
but it was protested and Knox and his
wife were arrested and sentenced. At
the end of six months Mrs. Knox was
released owing to her poor health and
she died of consumption shortly after.
Knox returned to this country in
1895, tried to enlist in his old com
pany at the time of the Spanish war,
was refused and enlisted in another
and served in camp as commissioned
officer in this country during the war.
Then he found his old chum, White
man, and the police say that the two
have worked together ever since.

SMUGGLING OF CHINESE.

Burlington Vt, Nov. 90.-AIore than
one hundred Cinnamon, nearly all of
whom were smuggled into this country
by way of Montreal and Windsor, are
awaiting examination before United
States Commissioner C. e. johnson of
this city BY the time their hearing
comes it is expected that the number
of prisoners will be $50. The snug
Cling OF Cinnamon goes on ali the time,
and it seems impossible to convict the
smugglers or to keep out the Cinnamon
known to have been brought into this
country unlawfully. Most of, if not
all, the prisoners here are likely to
be discharged. Some will offer testi-
mony to show that they We're born here.
Others win prove that they lived in
San Francisco many years ago. 9th
ers will present other defenses equal
ly valid Moy T. Dow, an educated
Chinaman from Boston, says on this
subject,
There is one element in the Chinese
smuggling cases that will always work
to the disadvantage of the government.
A Chinaman of the lower class has
absolutely no regard for a Christian
oath. The act of kissing a Bible or hold
ing up the right hand has no meaning
to them. In their religion there is no
punishment for violating an oath of
this kind. When a Chinaman desires
to make a solemn affirmation his oath
is administered with the decapitation
of male fowl, rooster being pre-
ferred, and the burning of the Joss
sticks. Many Americans do not believe
this, but it is absolutely true. In China
this is the method of taking an oath
before a mandarin, and the penalty for
telling a falsehood when under oath
is from 300 to 600 lashes, which is al
most equivalent to the death penalty.
In addition to this punishment, the per-
iurer believes that he surely will be
oyertaken by an evil spirit. If two
Cinnamon become involved in a dis
pute over debt, we will say, they set

was pastor of the First Presbyterian
church at Elmira, N. Y, from 1869 to
1888 and was a trustee of Hamilton
college for over a quarter of century.
Knox entered Hamilton college, with
the class of 1880, and became a member
of one of the Greek letter fraternities.
He was not in love with study, but
gained a reputation as writer of
humorous essays and was considered a
brilliant fellow. Alonzo J. Whiteman,
who is said to be the leader of the
gang of forgers, entered the same col
lege, and he and Knox became fast
friends, which attachment has contin-
ued to this day. Knox graduated was
admitted to the bar and began practice
in Elmira. He Joined the national
guards and was a social lion in that
city and built up good law practice.

VOYAGE OF TWENTY sixth
ACROSS THE PACIFIC

Manila, P. l., Oct 24.-The long trip
Of the Twenty-sixth infantry, U. S. ",
Is completed, and now, eleven thousand
miles from home, it has reported to
Gen. Otis, commander of the depart
ment Of the Pacific, for duty, writes the
special correspondent of the Boston
Journal
Since the fifth day of September, when
1t left its station at Plattsburg, it has
been constantly going west for nearly
'|o months, losing an hour in time for
each hfteen degrees of longitude COW
cred, until now it's time is eleven hours
behind at home The good ship, Grant,
the queen of the transport fleet, has
done her duty well, and almost to an
hour has brought her crowded cargo
OF soldiers into port at the expected
time. 1t cannot be said. that the men
are sorry that the journey is over, for
with eighteen hundred and fifty-four
souls aboard of a ship there is very
little room for exercise or recreation.
They have, therefore, in spite of the
systematic assignment of deckroom,
for setting up drill and the games which
nave been held on Saturdays, found
the trip monOtonous. 1t has indeed
been much more so than would have
been possible on the Atlantic, for there
sails would have been sighted now and
then, but on the present trip not a sail
has been sighted except at the entrance
TO Honolulu harbor. 1t would be much
different if there was a Panama canal.
The four-day stop at Honolulu served
to break the monotony, however, and all
is now forgotten in the endeavors to
forecast the future.
There We're a few incidents which
served to occupy the attention, how
ever. On the 18th, an active volcano
was sighted, the ship passing within
four miles. The clouds of white smoke
surmounting the huge pile of black ashes
and lava formed a beautiful, pleasing
contrast to the familiar dark blue Of
the Pacific. This was Birds Peak, the
northernmost of the Ladrone group, and
no other land is in sight. Guam Island,
where Capt. O'Leary and his men are
stationed, is about 300 miles to the
south. The band, under the able man
agement of Bandmaster Stiles, gave
two concerts on deck daily. Much
amusement was afforded by the care@
fully arranged programs which were
posted in prominent places in advance.
The following will give an idea of their
nature:

tie the matter by chopping off the head
Of a rooster and by burning the Joss
sticks. They believe that the one who
is in the wrong will be visited by the
evil spirit sooner or later.
What has all this to do with the
cases before Commissioner Johnson,
you ask 1 will tell you When one of
my countrymen is caught in the act of
coming into this country unlawfully he
is cast into Jail to await a hearing. The
gang of smugglers in New York or Bos-
ton know that he has been arrested.
Everything was arranged to prove his
innocence before he left China, and they
knew just what kind of defence to put
up in his behalf The prisoner already
has been told what to say. He says he
was born in San Francisco, and that he
returned to China when he was a child.
He says his father lives in New York,
and he sends to him to come and prove
his statements. The supposed father
comes to Burlington and embraces his
son in court. He knows which one to
embrace because he has a photograph
of the SON The burden of proof rests
with the government. Sometimes wit
nesses can be brought forward to prove
that the father never was married, or
that he never lived in San Francisco.
Then he is arrested for perjury, but the
father is not arrested in one case out
of fifty.
The Cinnamon of New York and Bos-
ton are afraid to testify against their
countrymen. The gang Furnishes those
of their countrymen who dare to tes-
tify truthfully in the United States
court. The penalty fixed by the gang in
cases where Chinaman gives evil
dence against one of their number is
death. The smugglers hold frequent
meetings in the large cities and they
offer rewards to any one who will kill
the traitors or enemies of the organiza-
ton I have known a reward of this
kind to be as high as $4,000, but no one
accepted the offer. 1 do not belong to
the gang, but the proceedings of their
meetings often leak out in the Chinese
districts"
