CAN'T STOP EN-.
Chinese Government Powerless to
Control the Boxers"

New York, March ga special to the
Herald from Washington says:
Mail reports have reached the state
department from China which show
that, Notwithstanding the energetic
protests of the diplomatic corps, the
Tsung-Li Yamen is apparently unable
to stop the foreigner crusade
which has been in progress for five
months past
The first foreign missionary to lose
his life at the hands of the boxers was
the Rev. Mr.. Brooks, an Englishman,
who was a member of the Anglican
mission at Ping Yin, Shan Tun. Mr..
Brooks left the mission to spend the
Christmas holidays with his sister, who
lived Sone-d1sTaIsee away. While pass
ing through a village on the way to his
destination, he was attacked by about
80 men, armed with knives. To escape
his assailants he entered a temple and
pleaded for aid from the head men of
the village, which they refused, and he
was elected from the building. He was
seized by the BOXERS his clothing re-
moved and with the thermometer about
Is degrees above zero he was led to an
other village. While his guards were
eating their monday meal Mr. Brooks
managed to escape, but was pursued by
three horsemen. who overlook him and
cut off his head with a sword
The governor of the province, who
has since been deposed, sent a cavalry
force to rescue Mr.. Brooks but he was
dead before it reached the scene of the
outrage. The English minister at Pekin
made strong representations to the Pc
kin government, and the new governor
of Shan Tung has taken measures to
apprehend and punish the men guilty of
the crime.
1t has been reported that the box
ers'' are gathering recruits in the vicin-
ity of the city of Ping-Tu, where two
families of the American Baptist mis-
sion are stationed. In the adjacent dis
tricts there are number of Christians
both Professionals and Catholics.
The boxers disturbance spread from
Shan Tung province to the province of
Chilli. The officials are prOfuse in

JOINTIST SURPRISED.
Given Jail Sentence After Pleading
Guilty.

Saturday Mat Cave and c. H. Cave
were arrested for selling liquor and
on Sunday Mat Cave was again
arrested for exposing goods for sale on
Sunday and selling liquor"
Are you guilty or not guilty?" asked
Judge Magaw in police court this
morning after reading the charge to
Cave.
well, guess I'm guilty. said Cave.
Are you guilty or not guilty?'
Guilty, that's the easiest way out"
4 fine yon 500 and 80 days in JAIL"
said the judge.
Cave was surprised. He was dumb
founded. He leaned over a table and
looked at the judge. Why, you see it
was this way" he explained. "A crowd
of fellows broke into my place and L
was trying to get them out. l didn't
sell anything"
Cave did not expect more than a fine
of $50 He wanted to again plead not
guilty but the judge would not change
the plea. He wanted to compromise by
paying the fine and having the jail SEN
tence left off. He will probably bring
habeas corpus proceedings

MR.. WILSON'S PLEA.
Lawyer Claims He Partially Paid For
Piano In Legal Services.

Some time ago the Kimbal1 Piano Co
began an action in the district court
against E. G.. Wilson to replevin a
piano which Mr.. Wilson had purchased
of the company, and which it was
claimed was only partly paid for. Mr.
Wilson claimed that the company owed
him for professional services, and he
set this bill against the balance on the
piano, but the company took the piano
anyway.
Mr.. Wilson has now fled an answer
and a counter suit in which he sets
forth the claim that the piano company
has no right to sue him because it has
not complied with the Bush law to give
it standing in the courts, as it is a cor
poration. He claims the company took
the piano by force. damaging him to
the extent of $500, and he further sues
for his bill for professional services to
the amount of $3.50. This bill is as fol-
lows:

It is not intended to assign a senior

engagements that one vessel only will be
in port at Unalasl1a at a time, and then
only for a couple of days The same
rules which have been followed for sew

The patrol is necessary because of the
failure of the joint high commission to
settle the questions at issue with Can

a mode of settling the Boring sea seal
