DR.. Morrison, writing to the Times
from Pekin, says:
''In communicating the punishment
edict dated Sinan Flu, November ID to
the foreign envoys, Ii Hung Chang sub
mits it as the final punishment the
court is able to inflict. and repeats the
stereotyped plea of all Chinese pleni-
potentiaries, namely, that the emperor
threatens him and Prince Ching with
severe punishment II they fail to in-
ducs the representatives of the powers
to accomplish a compromise. The
mildness of the sentences exeites ridi-
Guile. and strengthens the ministers in
their determination to demand the
death penaly. The punishments are
illusory. Prince Tuan is merely ban
ished to his own home, and others un'
dergo merely nominal lowering ol
rank. Perpetual imprisonment means
a life Of honored retirement.
Large numbers of Southern Chi
nese now residing in Pekin, fearing
further tribulation during the winter
are preparing to leave for the south. ;
According to the Shanghai CORE
spondent OF the Times, it is asserted OF
good authority in Tien Tsin that there
are still some missionaries surviving
at Tai Yuan Flu under the protection
OF the Mandarlns.

natl, has been with the bank for Is
years and was one Of its must trusted
men. Experts state that his operations
extend over a period OF 10 years. He
left on vacation last Wednesday, and
is supposed to be out OF the country.
1t is generally believed that he has
taken with him considerable amount
of money.
Brown, it is alleged, has lived fast
life, with wine, women and gambling
in his repertoire. His career was cut
short by q jealous woman, who made
his doings known to the banks Off
cials. Browns alleged shortage had
been rumored for some time, but the
bank off and directors have repeat
edly declared that his accounts were
correct and that everything was all
right.
The widest scenes we're witnessed in
Newport today when Examiner Tuck
er's announcement was made public,
and serious trouble is expected. The
capital stock OF the bank is only $780,
900. Browns shortage is double that
amount, and more than the reserve and
all the assets, including the banks
real estate. He must have gone the

Oswayo, Pa, Nov. 21.--Four men

BOXERS FATE FIXED
Princes Tuan and Chang Go
to Prison for Life.
OTHERS FARE LITTLE BETTEI
Moderate and Humane Course Of the
United States Has Advanced
Its Prestige In China.

Washington. Nov. 19.-Minister WI
has received from Director General
Sheng the following caolegram, which
he communicated to Secretary Hay to.
day:
San imperial decree of November l3
deprives Prince Tuan and Prince Chang
OF their ranks and offices. and orders
them to be imprisoned for life; Prince
Yih and secondary Prince lining to be
imprisoned; secondary Prince Eisn to
be deprived OF his rank; Duke Ian and
lining Men to be degraded In rank;
Kang vi being dead, no penalty can be
imposed upon him; Chao Shu Chiao to
be degraded, but retained in Office, and
Yu Hsien to be exiled to the starthesV
boundary"
Tho Chinese officials mentioned in
the decree are among the highest in
China. and comprise most, il not all.
of those against whom the powers de.
manded rigorous punishment. Prince
Tuan stands at the head of the anti.
foreign and Boxer movement. Previous
edicts degraded him and took away his
office and servants, but this judgment
of life imprisonment is the most severe
thus far given to any OF the leaders
responsible for the trouble. From a
Chinese standpoint, it is an extreme
penalty to a prince OF the blood, but
it remains to be seen whether the pow
ers will regard it as adequate to Prince
Tuan's offense. The others mentioned
were Tuan's active associates, and two
of them were specifically mentioned
for punishment, along with Tuan, in
Secretary Hays note of October 8. in
which he advised the Chinese govern.
ment that this country would expect
these officials to receive their just de-
serts.
Kang vi is one of the officials who
died suddenly when the demands for
punishment had been made, PROBABLY
by suicide. Yu Hsien is another who
was thought to have committed suicide,
but the reports indicate that he is still
alive.

Serious Trouble Retween Two Rival
Unions at Tampa.

Unions at Tampa.
Tampa, Fla, Nov. 19.-Rioting be-
tween International and Resistiancia
Unions of cigsfmakers began here to.
day at the factory of Gonzales, Mora
& Co., of Tampa and Chicago. This
firm was working a full force of Resis-
tiancia men, numbering about 500.
The lnternationals marched to the fac.
tory and demanded that these men
come out. This was refused and the
Internationals declared they would put
them out. The premises are enclosed,
and as an International man started to
enter the gate the Italian doorkeeper
fired upon him. This was quickly fol-
lowed by an exchanee.of several hum
dred shots. The front and side OF the
buildings were riddled with bullets,
but no one has been reported injured.
Police officers dispersed the mob.
Every factory closed at noon for the
day. The mayor has sworn in 100 ex-
ira policemen, and the sheriff has add
ed numerous deputies to his force. The
mayor issued a proclamation forbidding
torchlight professions and demonstra-
tions of the rival trades unions, planned
for tonight.
The Internationals have about 800
members here, while the Resistiancia
members number over 5000.
Since the rioting, the city has pre-
sented wildly excited condition, and
the streets in the neighborhood OF the
cigar factories have been thronged
with people. This. afternoon. a mass
meeting of business men passed reso.
luton authorizing the chairman to APP
point committees, which the unions
did. These committees met and agreed
that all the men should 60 % work to-
morrow morning. The Internationals
have agreed to this proposition practi-
cally. but the Resistiancia Union is
still considering the matter. 1t is
thought it will be adopted before morn
ing. All the factories are now heavily
guarded by deputies.

that the United States government Is
moved in its Chinese course by senti-

it is accompanied by the soundest busi-

purpose OF the state department now is
to prevent the destruction of Chinese
