PHILBIN SHOWS HIS STYLE
QUICKLY PROCURES A VICE" INDICT-
MENT.
EVIDENCE GATHERED BY GARDENERS
STAFF IN ANOTHER CASE TURNED
TO GOOD ACCOUNT

The new District Attorney. E. A. Philbin. gave
a striking indication yesterday of the v1gor
which his friends expect him to infuse into the
prosecution of lawbreakers Within few hours
of the time when May Stanley, a witness in an
abduction case which being tried before
Judge Foster, in Part / of General Sessions.
had testified that the prisoner brought young
girl to her house for improper purposes, Mr..
Philbin had ordered the evidence to be laid be-
fore the Grand Jury had obtained indictment
on the charge of keeping disorderly house,
caused the arrest of the woman before she had
left the courtroom and had her locked up in the
Tombs TO await pleading to the Indictment to-
day.
The evidence which the woman was to give in
the abduction case must have been known long
ago by those who have been subpoenaed, but
under Mr.. Gardeners management of the Dis
trict Attorneys Office nothing would have been
done about it. 1t was by the merest chance II
is said that Mr. Philbin. deeply engrossed in
getting the run of the innumerable details OF
his new office heard of the Stanley woman's tes
timony. but he dropped everything to give
swift and successful demonstration of what a
capable District Attorney can do in the way or
making the laws respected when he has no ul-
terror motives to serve which can be hidden
under that time honored excuse. pressure of
business"
ssMr Philbin declined yesterday to talk with
reporters about his plans. He called in several
of the Assistant District Attorneys, one by one
and held long conversations with them. Among
these were Messrs. Mcintyre, Osborne, Unger
and Townsend. No changes in the staff were
announced. but rumor has already slated ex-
Congressman Dunphy for the first vacancy
which occurs. Mr.. Philbin has assigned AS
sstant District Attorneys Mcintyre and Sulli-
van to have charge of the Bellevue Hospital

CHINA OBJECTS TO TERMS.
IMPORTANT POINTS WHICH THE EN-
PEROR OPPOSES.
THE COURT AGAINST REDUCTION OF THE
FORTS AND PERMANENT LEGA-
TION GUARDS.

Peking Dec. Pill Hung Chang and Prince
Ching the Chinese Peace Commissioners. have
heard from the Emperor, Kwang Su. Prince
Ching called on the former for consultation, re-
manning over an hour. The Court objects strenu-
ously to reducing the forts, and also to allowing
permanent legation guards, which, 1t seems to
think could be made sufficiently large at any
time desired. in order to menace the Court itself.
After the conference it was decided to hold fur
ther communication with the Court bef0re see
ing the Ministers.
Shanghai, Dec. 27.-The Chinese newspapers
here object to the proposed peace terms. The
Universal Gazette considers that the princes
and officials who are TO be punished should be
named.
It is questionable whether General Tung Flu
Hsiang is included among those punishable and
SO far as Prince Tuan is concerned it is well
known that the Chinese Peace Commissioners
have been instructed not to consent to any pun
ishment of any person of royal blood exceeding
Imprisonment.
Some of the native journals hold that the pres
ence of permanent legation guards will render
the Emperor's return impossible because these
would be menace to the Court. China says
one of them, would be powerless to suppress
uprlSlngs because prohibited from increasing
her military strength; and the Powers. there
fore, would renew hostlities again and the 'peo-
pie would be moved down like hemp"

their garrison at Yang-Tsun by a hundred men,
with horses and three guns.
4 flying column of sixteen hundred cavalry
will scour the country between Tien-Tsin and

Waldersee's orders to be the alert in view
of the French report of an engagement with
twenty-five hundred Chinese troops.
Colonel Tullocks regiment will return to de-
stroy the towns he recently held. This action
is owing to the fact that it has been discovered
that a number of Boxers unquestonably made
them their headquarters. The British authori-
ties say they do not expect serious trouble from
the Boxers, mainly because they lack arms.
Fortunately the Chinese Government is afraid
to trust them with arms as it fears rebellion
against the dynasty Otherwise the danger
might have been serious.
British soldiers have been found dead outside
the Temple of Heaven with bullets in their
heads. The murders believed TO have been
