OUTBREAKS IN CHINA.
Consul Fowler Reports an Alarming
State of Affairs,

Consul Fowler has included in his annual
report, published by the bureau of foreign
commerce of the State Department. a short
chapter devoted to the missionary troubles
in Shanturg and Northern China. He re-
fers to the peaceful conditions reported by
him in his preceding report, and says:
Unfortunately, the story is now different.
Since Christmas there has been nothing
but trouble. Riots. murder and acts of the
most diabolical nature have been commit
ted upon the native adherents of the mis-
sionaries. The situation grew bad that
the Germans sent inland a strong military
force, burning down one or two villages
and taking back with them several of the
leaders of the villages as hostages for fu-
ture peace.
'On several occasions Americans and Ger
mans escaped by diplomacy and pluck.
THE indemnity for these outrages has
just been paid and now the whole western
part of the province is in ferment and
much will be necessary to pass the
winter without the loss of foreign life"

TESTIMONY OF PHYSICIANS.
Proposed Law Declared to he an I'm
prOvement

In an opinion rendered today by Mr..
Clarence A. Brandenburg, the first assist
ant 10 the attorney for the District, the
Commissioners are advised that section
1913 of the proposed code for the District.
relative to the testimony of physicians, af-
lords adequate protection to physicians and
their patients. And inasmuch as under
SUCH law their testimony would not be
competent without the consent of the pa
uent, he states, unless the interests of
justice require it, and in such q case a ply
slcian ought to be required to testify"
me proposed law says Mr.. Brandenburg
accords with the Judgment of all the JUS
tlces OF the District Supreme Court, and
IN MS opinion is a substantial improve
ment over the existing law.
Inc proposed law prohibits any physician
or surgeon from disclosing in the courts
OF the District confidential Information OBJ
tanned from patient without the consent
sentative, where such information was OBJ
tanned by him while attending the patient
In professional capacity, unless in the
opinion OF the court, such information is
necessary to promote the ends Of Justice
II is provided that the section Shall not
apply to evidence in criminal cases where
the accused is charged with causing the
death or or lnfitcting injuries upon human
beng, and the disclosure shall be required
In the interests of public justice. The i'm
portant difference between the law as pro
posed and the existing one, says Mr. Bran
denburg. is the addition of the qualification
unless in the opinion of the court such in
formation is necessary to promote the ends
of justice"

Protest Against Extension of Grounds
of Hospital for the Insane
Other Matters.

The House committee on the District Of
Columbia will meet at 10 o'clock tomor-
row morning and expects to have a busy
session. A number of persons have ap-
piled for hearings, and the committee will
try to accommodate them.
Mr.. Charles Schneider and Mr.. j. A.
Wieman have asked to be heard against
the flour inspection bill. A delegation from
Central Labor Union will appear to urge
the jenkins bill for the appointment of ad-
ditional building inspectors.
delegation from Congress Heights will
be present to protest against the passage
of the bill annulling Pencote Heights sub
division. A bill to this effect has been re-
ported from the committee, but is being
held up in the House pending a hearing
A communication upon this subject was
left with Chairman Babcock of the Dis
trict committee today, signed by Gustave
Dieterich, V. NJ. Tucker and o. A. Emmons,
as the committee on legislation of the Con-
gres Heights Citizens Association. The
letter refers to the efforts to extend the
grounds of the Government Hospital for
the Insane over this locality, and says:
In 1880 Pencote Heights was subdivided
by Slater and Rothert in conformity with
the act approved August q. 1888, requiring
exact conformity with the city plans eleven
streets ninety feet wide, one of sixty wide
and many alleys. This subdivision was &C
cepteu and recorded ana became the prop
erty of the District of Columbia. In pre-
senting this land for sale mention is
made that at least one-third belongs to the
District of Columbia, but when it seemed
the sale might be consummated another
bill is introduced Is. 1896, House Report
943) 'revoking and annulling the subdivis-
ion of Pencote Heights The District Com
missieners seem to have understood that
new subdivision would be made in ac-
cordance with the new highway plans
which are now in preparation. This is not
so stated in the bill; revoke and annul'
does not mean change. and in any event
there would be only three streets affected
by the new plans.
In view of the above facts 1t is plainly
seen that some person or persons intend to
sell streets belonging to the District of Co.
lumbia for their own gain. Across Nichols
avenue the above named streets are eX-
tended and many people have builded homes
here. They have two schools, churches post
