any relief until he began using Cham

who had charge of the negro, after a

crowd, finally managed to shove Evans
into the house, where the little girl
identified him as her. assailant. When
the mob outside learned that Evans
had been identified by his victim they
became frenzied and made another
rush for the prisoner. A riotcall had
been sent in and wagonload of off.

ATTITUDE OF THE POWERS.

Washington, no longer make any at
tempt to conceal their disbelief in the
sincerity of the protestatiens made by
the powers that they do not contem.
plate the partition of China. The
speech of Count Won Buelow illustrates
well the attitude of the powers. He
said IN the course Of it:
"lt is impossible to foresee further
developments. We shall not allow
ourselves to be 9eA beyond these de.
mands, except by the interests of civili-
zation and especially by the interests
of Germany

MR.. HOPKINS OPINION.

Next House of Representatives. Will Have
Is or 20 More Members.
WASHINGTON, Nov 22.-Representa.
tive Hopkins of Illinois, chairman of
the house committee on census, which
committee will have charge of the leg
islation effecting the apportionment of
the house, in discussing the general
subject of reapportion ment, said:
''The committee on census will meet
during the first week of the session to
frame bill providing for reapportion-
ment. think that proposition will
be adopted which will increase the
present membership Of the house. It
has been suggested that wo authorize
one member for every 1913, 900 inhab-
itants. That seems to be the ratio that
is in general favor among members of
the committee. This proposition would
entail an increased membership of
from - to 20 members.
According to calculations I have
made this reapportionment would add
members to the house from New York
and Illinois and perhaps other states
States like Nebraska and Maine might
lose members by the proposed law.
Some of the Southern states might also
suffer from the proportion agreed upon,
although to what extent cannot now be
ascertaiued "

EXPECTED AN ATTACK.

sentries in the German Quarter of Tien
Tsin Doubled.
TEN TsIN, Nov. 20, via Shanghai,
Nov. 22.-There has been considerable
firing recently in the neighborhood Of
Lien Tsin and, owing to report that
the German quarter Of the city would
be attacked last night, the German SEN
tries were doubled, a company patrolled
the opposite side of the ri,er and the
remainder Of the German troops were
ordered to hold themselves in readiness
for action at all instant's notice.
Nothing happened, however, to show
cause for the alarm, though today all
the Chinese servants of the Bengal Of
fcers and men say they had been in
formed that the Boxers were marching
in large body on Tien Tsin and Pc
king.
Neither General Lorne. .Campbell of
the British troops nor Colonel Moale of
the Americans believes there is any
truth in the rumor; but the natives
evidently believe it and many of them
are leaving the service of the foreign

RURAL FREE DELIVERY.

Assistant Postmaster General Asks for

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-An enthu-

that the extraordinary development of
this system during the past 10 months
is conclusive of showing that hereafter
it must be permanent expanding fea.
ture Of the postal administration.
Under ordinary conditions a full
route is considered to be IS miles, so
devised that the carrier does not
pass over the same ground twice in the
same day. The pay of the rural car

New York Act Practically Declared Un-

= ALBANY, N. Y, Nov. 22-What is
practically declaration that the state
ANTITRUST law is unconstitutional was
handed do wn in the appellate division
of the supreme court in one Of
the several opinions adverse to the
state in the ,so-called ''ice trust: cases.
Judge Smith, in the asserting opin-
ion, makes the point that though the
present antitrust law is framed to pro.
vide immunity for witnesses, it does
not in any way protect them from fed.
eral law, and they could be brought up
under the provisions Of the latter to
answer charges based on replies to
questions put to them on the stand un~
der the state law.
Therefore, he argues, that unless an
appeal lies to prevent witness going
on the stand in case brought under
the state law, there can be no appeal
at all and the law is unconstitutional

General Corbin Says Volunteers In Phil

General Corbin Says Volunteers in Phil
ippines VIII Be Brought Home.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 90. - Adjutant
General Corbin authorized the state
ment that it is the intention of the war
department to bring home from the
philippines every one Of the volunteers
who cares to come and discharge them
here, on or before July 1 next, when,
under the law, the volunteers must be
mustered out. 1t is the expectation and
hope of the war department that the
coming congress will, at an early period
in it's session, enact legislation which
will enable the department to replace
the present volunteer force by per-
manent force of soldiers In that case
such of the men in the ranks as care to
continue in the service will be re-
enlisted as regulars, and any vacancies
that may exist through the muster out
of the volunteers, will be supplied by
original enlistments in the United
States. It is believed that these en-
istments can be made in time to re-
place all the retired Philippine volun-
teers before the first of the next fiscal
year.
