SITUATION AT PEkIN.
French Minister Fears Chinese Troops
VIII Resume the Offensive.

PARIS, Aug. pa dispatch received
from the French minister at Pekin, M.
Plcnon, dated Sunday, Aug. 10, con-
firms the dispatches of General Frey,
commander of the French forces at the
Chinese capital, and repeats other in
formation already known. 1t adds that
one Of the principal anxieties is the re-
establishment of communication by
railroad and telegraph with Tien Tsin.
Continuing, NJ. Pichon says:
"The insecurity Of the route renders
this difficult, but urgent. A resump-
ton of the offensive by the Boxers and
regulars is feared and precautions must
be taken. l am lodging at the Spanish
legation. All my staff and domestics
are in miserable health. The greater
part of the town is heap of ruins"

surrection has broken out in Persia
which may in all probability cause the

The object of the revolt is to de-

ness for Western ideas makes him un-
popular to Persians of the old school,
and to place his brother on the throne.
No details have reached here so far

this revolutionary movement, but tel

In his bequest to G. w. Fancher he

The Enforced Examination Of Pris-
Oncrs.

At White Plains. in Westchester county,
young man named EDGAR CHANNINo
BtRSz is now on trial before Judge MARTIN
j. kEoGH and a jury for the murder Of
Mr.. PILLOWS. The defence is insanity, and
many witnesses have been placed on the
stand by the council for the accused.
On Friday last the District Attorney
OF Nestchester county offered expert medi-
cal testimony to rebut the defen lant's 8
theory of insanity. The principal witness
for the persecution was DR.. CARLOS Mac
DONALD, President Of the State Commission
OF Lunacy. who testified that the accused
was sane at the time he killed FELLOWS,
and who further stated that his conclusion
was based on an examination which he
had made of the prisoner before he was
indicted. The defendants counsel then
moved to strike out the testimony Of Or.
MACDONALD. on the ground that 1t was
practically securing evidence from the de-
fendant himself. Judge kEoGu excluded
the physicians testimony, convinced that
the prisoner had involuntarily submitted to
the doctors examination.
Judge KEooH was undoubtedly right
In hts conclusion and he deserves the high
est credit for his enforcement Of the Con-
stitutionh provision contained in the Bill
OF Rights that No person shall be COM
PEELED In any criminal oase to be witness
against himself The Court of Appeals
has held that any voluntary confession
or admission OF guilt. even though made
when the party is under arrest. can be
used In evidence against the accused. But
1t must clearly appear in every case that
the evidence was furnished by the pris-
oner OF his own voltion and under cir
cumstances which negative the idea Of
coercion.
The record Is not before us. but II Is
evident that the learned Judge was very
careful In his rulings. beca,ise. although
he censured the manner In which this evi-
dence had been obtained. he subsequently
admitted the testimony Of another med
ical expert. Or. SrITzKA. who visited
BURNz In jail and who testified that he
showed no signs Of insanity.
