Secretary Overrules the Conn
missioner.

In a decision of the secretary Of the
interior received today by the local land
office, the decision Of the general land
commissioner in the application Of Will
lam D.. Wheeler for repayment OF the
money paid by him upon a desert land
entry is overruled. The application OF
Mr.. Wheeler for repayment was made in
Feb. 1899, when he alleged that the land
was not in compact form as required by
the desert land act and that it was there
fore enormously allowed aud could not
be confirmed.
In concluding the decision addressed
to the commissioner, the secretary says:
the action of your Office in requiring
Wheeler to show that he abandoned his
entry solely because of his Knowledge or
belief that it could not be Lawful lly con.
frmed, is vacated and it UPON further
consideration your Office is still OF the
opinion that the entry did not conform
to the statutory requirement in the mat
ter or conpactness and was hence err
%roneously allowed and could not have
been confirmed, repayment will ne al
lowed as applied for"
Secretary Hitchcock makes the same
order IL reference to the application of
Annie S. Turner for repayment of her
pu :chase money made on desert land
entry to 333 acres. winch was denied by
the commissioner of the general land
office july IL, 1900.

Where Thousands of Papers are Read.

There is perhaps, but a single place in this country where almost all the newspapers of the United States are read. To the exchange bureau of the Ladies' home Journal practically every paper in this country comes-an aggre- gate of nearly 5000. It is the rule to read each one in day after it is re- ceived, so large staff of trained read- CTS is kept employed constantly. By this plan it is possible for the editors to keep in close touch with the reading public, and accurately informed us to the topics that are uppermOst in the public mind in ever section of the country. Moreover, everything relating to the Journal is clipped and fled. Thousands of dollars Il years are spent in this work alone, but Editor Box regards it as a very profitable invest ment, as invaluable information is thus supplied that could be obtained in no other way.

LONDON, Dec 29.-There is still a possi-
bility that Lord Kitcheners New Years
greeting to his country will be the an
nouncement that General De Wet and for
mer President Steyn are prisoners, and
there also is possibility that organized
opposition to the British army in South
Africa will die with the closing century.
Persistent reports were in circulation here
and on the continent yesterday that Gen.
eral De Wet had been captured. The Brit
ish Chartered South Africa Company re-
ceived this information from source in
which it is accustomed to place implicit
confidence. The War Office, however, is
without confirmation of the report. II the
news should prove to be true, there is little
doubt the war will soon end, for De Wet
almost alone, has kept the embers burning
for the past three months. Steyn, who has
been with De Wet i'm his various raids, is
supposed to have been made a prisoner If
De Wet captured.

Three Men Charged with Causing the
Death of Louis III. HiIlyard,
an Insane Patient.
VERDICT OF coRoNER's JURY
IN CASE THAT HAS ATTRACTED A
GREAT DEAL OF ATTENTION.
Authorities of Bellevue Hospital,
Where the Death Took Place,
Censured for Lax Methods.

NEW YORK. Dec. 2S.-The jury in the in
quest into the cause of the death of Louis
H. Hillyard tonight rendered verdict de-
claring that he had come to his death from
asphyxiation and fractured ribs caused by
Jesse r. Davis, Edward o. Dean and Clin-
ton I. Marshall, nurses at Bellevue Hos
ritaI. The coroner held the accused to
await the action of the grand jury.
The jury also censured the Bellevue Hos
pital authorities for laxity of methods. De-
spite the protests of Assistant District At
torney Mcintyre, Davis, Dean and Marshall
were released in 5000 bail each.
The first witness to-day, Mrs. Hillyard,
said that she noticed bruises on her hus-
bands head when she saw him at the in
sane pavilion. and he told her he had been
beaten. She asked the doctor (Fitch) how
he got the bruises, and he said he did not
know and did not want to know.
Thomas d. Boyle, a policeman, testified
that he had arrested Minnock, a man who
gave sensational evidence yesterday, on
Dec IS, and told OF a conversation with
Minnock on the car to the police station In
which Minnock said he had been thrown
down on his story but had a story at any
killed a man in the pavilion on Tuesday"
DR.. John w. Moore, jr., of the Bellevue
Hospital staff. testified that he first saw
Hilyard on Tuesday in the shower bath
and paid no more attention to him.
"The nurses were in entire charge OF
Hillyard for an entire day?' asked a jury
man.
"Yes, but 1 looked into each room at each
patient in bed that night" Continuing, the
witness said his impression was that he
saw Hillyard between 10 and IL o'clock on
Wednesday, Dec. II, and had a short con-
versation with him. He had his clothes on,
and the witness said he had an indistinc:
recollection OF seeing a slight bruise over
Hiliyards eye He next saw him between
and o'clock. when he was summoned in
hurry and found one of the nurses kneel-
ing over Hillyard. producing artificial res

the Chinese minister TO the United States,
addressed the Outlook Club of Mont Clair
N. j.. tonight, on 1.-THE Causes of the I'm
popularity of Foreigners in China" Mr.
Wu said in part that the Chinese were not
originally opposed to the foreigner. They
had been admitted and had advanced TO
posts of high honor. The cause was that
the first comers adopted the best customs
in the country in which they were. Con-
fucius taught all men to be kind to the
stranger from afar. Marco Polo had long
ago occupied a position of great honor and
trust under the Chinese government other
men had lived In China and been honored
and respected. Why had the change come.
and why was there to-day hostility TO the
foreigner. hostility contrary TO the laws
of the great teacher and contrary to the
first glad welcome? Minister Wu said To
his mind ii was caused by the difference
between the foreigner In China to-day and
those of long ago. One class of foreigner
in China was the merchant and trader.

Special to the India7 .aniis Journal
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-The administra-
ton is considering the advisabiiity of ap-
pointing additional commissioner to ad
wise with Minister Conger in the details Of
the negotiations with China for complete
settlement of all differences with that coun-
try. The signing of the protocol was bur
the beginning of the negotiations. Minister
Conger has given satisfaction TO his off,
cial superiors, but 1T is recognized that
what is left to be done relates largely to
financial and commercial matters and de-
mands for its successful accomplishment
special and expert knowledge The final
negotiations may not be made in China at
all, but at some European capital or Wash
ington. The United States will propose
that commercial concessions be accepted
in lieu of money payments in part. If not
altogether, the theory of this plan being
that such concessions would be more valu-
able to this country than any sum of
money China could pay. The governments
accepting concessions in place of money
would, of course. pay their own citizens or
subjects the money value of their just
claims against the Chinese government
From this time forward the Chinese en-

they have heretofore, while the negotiations
with them were waiting upon the foreign
ENJOYS and their governments to come to
an agreement among themselves. Five Chi
nese envoys are named-Li Hung Chang
and Prince Ching, who have been actively
at work, the two southern viceToys, Chan
Chi Tung and Hia Kun vi, who have acted
only in an advisory capacity, and Yung Lu,
one of the most active anti-foreign leaders.
The powers objected to him, and he dis
appeared from the stage some time ago,
but what has become OF him no one seems
to know. OF course, until the Chinese gov
ernment accepts the terms of the protocol.
the negotiations cannot proceed. 1t has
not yet done so. but it is not believed she
will finally refuse.
