Two young men in Jail on the
charge of theft at Eureka, Kan, tried
to saw their way out. The sheriff
made them undress so he could search
their clothing for the saw, giving
them other clothes to wear in the
meantime. These the prisoners
burned on the floor of the cell, and
the sheriff, by way of furnishing them,
has left them naked ever since. And
the mosquitoes are very active there
at night, too.

Is 1T a cH1NEsn IoKns

The Chinese minister at Washington is
concededly man of high intellectual
endowment and of splendid attachments.
His contributions to current discussion
are always distinguished as among the
ablest and most original which are made.
Indeed he shows as intimate and broad
minded an understanding of American
institutions, political history and diplo-
macy as even our own best educated
public men. He shows, moreover, all
the sense of humor which we are told is
denied the Eastern races, and is mas
ter of keen and delightful sarcasm.
Recently Minister WI Ting Fang eave
the country the benefit of his views ON
the Monroe doctrine, and those views
were marked by the same high measure
of originality which has been a feature
of all that he says, as well as all that he
writes. One wonders whether this dig
nified Oriental dlplomatist and scholar
Is not indulging in quiet laugh at the
expense of the people to whom he Is ar
credited in the position he takes. That
position is nothing less than that. now.
since the American people have estab-
hshed their territorial sway In Asia, they
are also called on to establish sort of
moral political guardianship over the
Orient and extend to its people and its
political Institutions the same measure Of
protection which they exercise on the
American continent.
1t has been left for the Chinese minis
ter to call the attention Of the country
to the logical outcome Of our position
in the East. Having territorial acuuisi-
tions in Asia we will be called on. sooner
or later, as he points out, by virtue of
our adoption of the Monroe doctane to
assume guardianship over the territorial
and political rights of the Chinese ma
ton. Mr.. WI Ting Fang's statement of
his view Of our situation in the East is
keen, moderate and distinguished by g.
literary style which would do credit TO a
professional man of letters To the OBJ
lection that the assumption of any such
attitude toward European powers at this
time would be premature he urges the
consideration that perhaps it would be,
but that within ten years we will be
forced. as measure of self-protection,
to consider whether the principle we have
adopted for our government in the mat
ter of European Intervention in Ameri-
can affairs does not apply with equal
force to our rights and interests in the
far East.

hour longer when it has been officially de-
cided that the events at Ta1n and Tien
Tsin have proceeded from her orders.
There is but one saving circumstance
in the situation. 1t Is that Ii Hung Chang
has disavowed the imperial responsibility,
and asseverates his conviction that the
trouble arises purely from the Gscendency
of the mob and that the Chinese minister
at Washington indorses that position. 1t
could be readily understood that Oriental
diplomacy might dictate the imperial au-
thorities under the direction of the en-
press in trying to throw the responsible
ity on the Boxers, while doing everything
il their Lever to drive the foreigners
out. But 1t is incredible that great
statesman like Ii Hung Chang should
take any part in playing so transparent
a game. Under the conditions outlined
in the late dispatches there is no course.
for the present. at least, for this nation
to pursue but to act n the most complete
concert with the Eur oreans and japanese
until peace at least is restored.
