INDICTMENT NOT SUFFICIENT.
LacOmbe's Decision in NeeIy Case Is
Like Judge Browns.

Like Judge Browns.
New York. July 19.-Judge Lacombe of
the United States Circuit Court to-day
rendered an opinion in the case of Charles
f. W. Neely, charged with having defraud-
ed the United States postal department in
Cuba. in which he declared that the mere
presentation of an indictment caunot be
held sufficient for Neely's extradition. and
that further testimony will be heard when
the case comes up on July %.
The court gives the statute provisions as
to eXtradition and says:
The joint resolution of April Is, 1885,
declared that the people of the island of
Cuba are and of right ought to be free
and independent and this finding as to
their status may be accepted by the
courts.
Nevertheless il is an historical fact of
which the courts will take judicial notice
that on THAI same day the territory of
that island was occupied by Spain.
Against that Power we declared war. In
the entire sequence of events down 60 the
date of the ratification of the treaty of
Paris. counsel for he prisoner finds moth
ing to criucise as obnoxious 20 the Fed
eral constitution. On the day that treaty
was signed we We're indsputably in mill
tary occupation of the island why under
the constitution that occupation, legiti-
mately entered upon, may not continue
TO secure the lives and property of Ameri-
can citizens within that territory until
the political branch of the government
shall be satisfied its further continuance
is unnecessary, it is difficult 80 conceive
and no authority cited in the brief sus-
tains any such proposition.
The mere face that the individual who
has committed a crime in a foreign coun-
try is himself a citizen of the United
| States does not prevent the United
States from returning him TO the country
against whose laws he has offended.
ut will be noted that the act Of June g.
1900 carefully safeguards the party ac-
cused against unsubstantal charges sof
crime 1t provides that before The accus-
ed is returned there shall be an inquiry be-
fore judge of a Federal court who shall
hold such person on evidence establishing
probable cause that he is guilty of the of
fense charged; if the evidence fails to es-
tablsh probable cause the accused shall
not be returned This means probable
cause tested by the practice of our courts
and supported by evidence which we
would hold competent. No mere state
ment of an official that he has caused
an examination into the facts
to be made with such and
such a result is of any probable weight,
nor is hearsay competent nor unveriied
COPIES of documents. There must be laid
before TIE court sworn statements as to
facts from which the judge may reach a
c-nclusion, The objection that the act of
June 6, 1900, is unconstitutional, is un-
sound.
Witnesses need not be brought from
Cuba to testify here. but their sworn
statements can certainly be obtained so
that the courts conclusion may be based
upon competent proofs of facts within the

FATAL RESULTS OF FLOOD.
Three Lives Lost in Little Mining
Town In Ohio.


Mount Pleasant. O., July 19.-The little
town of Long Run, two miles of this
place, with a population of about LOCO
was visited to-day by a severe wind and
rainstorm and three lives were lost
The dead are Mrs. John Lingo, her
young son, John, and Mary Bereshock.
The stream of Long Run. at the foot
of the town, empties into Short Creek
near the settlement and dwellings of min
ers line both banks of the small creeks
As the rain began TO fall in an almost
incredible short space of time the unus-
ually quiet stream was converted into a
raging river. In less than an hour seven
ty-five houses in the lowland were flooded.
Three houses were carried from their
foundations and floated down the stream
with the torrent. Many foundations were
washed away and thus upset.
Mrs. John Lingo's home was lifted from
its foundation. She and her little son
Jc I'm were swt pit into the waters and both
were drowned. Mary Bereshock, 3-year-
old daughter of another miner. was also
drowned.
Tho damage TO property was very
heavy, Two county br!sges over the
streams one Of them very recently built,
were carri away The Wheeling and
Lake Erie switches over Long Run were
SO badly damaged as to prevent affie on
the road al least for time.

CHARGE AGAINST EARL Ii.
Details of the Rumored Atrocities in

Pekin.
London, July 2O-The Shanghai corre-
spondent of the Daily Express says:
Intense Indignation is felt here at the
honors which the British in Hong Kong
have accorded TO Ii Hung Chang, who is
looked upon in Shanghai as the o. ig nator
of the whole fiendish anti-foreign plot.
"A Chinese merchant who has just ar
rived from Pekin gives horrible details of
the massacre He says he saw European
women hauled INTO the street by shrieking
Boxers, who stripped them and hacked
them to pieces. Their discovered limbs
were tossed to the crowd and carried off
with howls of triumph. Some were al
reaGy dead, having been shot by foreign
civil ans.
He says he saw Chinese soldiers carry
ing the bodies of white children aloft on
their spears, while their companions shot
at the bodies. He gives other details too
horrible TO be particuarized here.
1T seems that the Boxer leaders had
organized plan including the Offering Of
rewards and rich loot for the annihilation
of Europeans throughout China and that
Prince Tuan's generals have been empha-
sizing the opportunity the soldiers have of
seizing the bodies of white women"

lection of a third ticket on which all in
dependents, Gold Democrats, anu-impe-

ties now opposing the candidates of the
two old parties can meet and unite on a
third ticket and adopt a platform ap-
proved of by both Gold Democrats and
anti-imperlalists, and also by Republicans
dissatisfied with Mckinley and Democrats
dissatisfied with Bryan, for any reason

Mr.. Klein said the committee would pre-
pare a plan for a third ticket irrespective
of what the Gold Democrats did.

M. Delcasse's circular only goes to prove
that so far the Powers have failed to ar

Barbarity Is Charged


Very little further news is available this
morning. The Yokohama correspondent
of the Daily Mail, who repeats his state
ments regarding the jealousy felt among
the allies on the subject of a japanese
commander-in-chief,a and tae general lack
of unity among them, adds:
The Japanese correspondents charge
the Russian soldiers with appalling bar
barity toward the Chinese They declare
that the Pei Ho is full cf the corpses of
woman and children and that the Russians
loaded 800 bodies on a junk and burned
| them
Shanghai reports that three mission
stations on Po Yank lake have been de-
stroyed, but it is believed that the mis-
sionaries escaped. All the missionaries at
A She Ho, KERN and Kuan Cheng Tzu
in Chinese Manchuria, have arrived in
| safety at Vladivostock.
| 1t is rumored that Yu Lu, the missing
Vice oy of the province of Chilli has com
mitted su c.de. Various conflicting stories
are published of the manner of Gen.
Nieh's d5ath.
The native city of Tien Tsin they found
the Chinese dead piled high, and it was
feared that this would result in an out
break of pestilence. Sixteen of the cap
tured guns are quite modern weapons.
Trouble in the South.
The Shanghai correspondent of the
Times expresses doubt that the southern
Afncr n
pressure of the provincial officials to join
! the anti-foreign movement. He thinks
! that already there are signs of wavering
on the part of the Viceroy of Nankin, Liu
Kan Yih, and says:
1T is admitted at Nankin that Liu's
authority is now insufficient to guarantee
the maintenance of law and order north
of the river. Hence the consuls at the
Yang-tse ports are arranging for the de-
parture of the women and children.
1T is inevitable that the mandarins as
a body should sympathize with Prince
! Tuan's movements"
This correspondent confirms the state
ment of the correspondent of the Daily
| Express regarding che indignation caused
by the British reception of Lii Hung
| Chang at Hong Kong. He says it is in
terpreted by the natives as weakness on
the part of the allies, and he asks why Ii
Hung Chang could not have been detain-
ed until information has been received
| from Pekin.
The Times understands that the chief
representatives of the Mohammedar
clergy in Constantinople have issued a
strong protest, based upon the Koran
against palace sympathy with the Chinese
| massacres.
According to the Canton correspondent
of the Daily Telegraph six Chinese sol
diers have been beheaded for assaulting
an American medical missionary.
