JUDGE LYNCH'S COURT
Speedy Work With a Rapfst at
Newport News.

Newports News, "a. January s.
The death of William w. Watts at the
hands OF a mob between the hours of
4 and ) o'clock this morning, marks
the first sitting of Judge Lynch in
Newport News. His taking off also
signalizes the initial execution of a
white man for rape in Virginia, legally
or otherwise.
The crime that invoked mob ven
geance was peculiarly atrocious, be-
ing blackened by the basest ingrati-
tude. The victim of the wretch upon
whom justice was SO speedily visited,
was the benefactreSs of her aSSailant,
having fed him, a stranger at her door,
when he first appeared, begging for
charity three weeks ago, after reach
ing here from Lynchburg, where his
father is a policeman. Watts was 2S
years old, unmarried, a professional
gambler n comes of a respectable
family with extensive relationship
throughout the state.
Yesterday afternoon he visited the
house of Mrs. Thomas NJ. Simpson,
who had befriended him when he was
in destitute circumstances, telling the
lady he was about to leave the city
and stating that he desired to thank
her before going away. Watts had
made a stake at his calling during his
s~ojourn here and Mrs. Simpson failed
to recognize in the w~elll-dressed man
the miserable mendicant upon whom
she had bestowed charity almost three
weeks before. Her interest in the man
being awakened, h converSed with
him for a few minutes at the door.
When she retired into the hallway he
followed her, seized her by the throat,
forced her into the sitting room and
o~verpowered her after a desperate
struggle.
Watts was captured on board the
special train of G. p. Huntington
while it was leaving the city forRich-
mond yesterday afternoon and lodged
in Jail.
Three masked men entered the sta
ton house at 4 o'clock this morning
and forced the jailor at the point Of
pistols to surrender the keys. Four
companions of the men received Watts
when he was carried out n hurried
him away, first to the house of Mrs.
Simpson who identified him, n then
to the outskirts of the city where a
mob of several hundred men were con-
gregated. His body was riddled with
bullets. 1t had been intended to hang
the man, but the only rope with which
the party was provided proved toe
short to go over any convenient limb,
The rope with which the body Of the
victim was bound was cut up n dis
tributed among the on-lookers.
The identity Of the lynchers is a
mystery and there is little prospect OF
anyone connected with the affair being
detected. The police are making the
usual inquiry into the case.

Drafts with Bills of Ladfng.

The New York Financier says edtto-
rally:
The head of the freight department
of one of the largest railway systems
in the United States writes The Finan-
cier'' on a point that interests all bank
els: Namely, the collection of drafts
with duplicate bills Of lading attached.
In his communication the writer say
that a great deal # unnecessary
trouble is caused by the c~arefessness
with which items Of this character ara
handled, and he formal action

as the est means Of forcing more bus
iness-like methods in this particu ar.
AS the correspondent says, many ship
pers do not seem TO understand the val
ue Of bills of lading. In cases where
they ship TO order, and give name Of
person to notify, shipments are TO be
delivered only on original bills Of lad
ing, properly endorsed. This simple
rule. however, is constantly violated
1t is no occurrence for ship
pers TO attach duplicate bills Of lading
to drafts, forwarding through their
bank for collection at destination. The
consignee upon notification usually
pays the draft. but pom presentation
Of the copy or duplicate bin of ladirg

FRANCE WATCHING THE CRISIS.
CHINESE TROUBLES THE LEADING FEAT
URE OF THE PARIS PAPERS.

URE OF THE PARIS PAPERS.
Paris. June 16.-News Of fighting between the
European troops and the Boxers has enhanced
the interest in the situation in China, which Is
forming the leading feature of all the news
papers, The diplomatic world is naturally very
much stirred, especially owing to the contradic-
tory reports regarding the attitude taken by the
Dowager Empress, Even the japanese and the
Chinese Legations appear doubtful to the
act condition of affairs At the Chinese Legation
considerable uneasness prevails The explanation
given by the officials there is that the Boxers
are simply outlaws, who receive no countenance
from the Government and are Ill treating their
own countrymen well foreigners. Mem
bers OF the Legation whose constant intercourse
with Europeans has brought them more into
line with Western ideas admit guardedly that
the general situation in China is hardly salts
factory and that there is room there for bene-
fetal reforms; but they far from pleased
at the recent developments, which have given
Russia an opportunity to play what will prob
ably eventually become a predOminating part in
the much feared European Intervention.
The japanese Minister Kato Takask on be-
ing interviewed, said he has not yet received in
structions from his Government regarding the
action to be taken here. but he has every reason
to believe Japan will act in concert with the
other Powers, which course in his opinion, is
the surest method of bringing about prompt and
durable tranquility. Isolated action on the part
Of one or another OF the Powers, he says, will
only produce chaos and viii be likely TO lead to
trouble between the Powers themselves.
A man who is entitled to speak with authority
on Chinese matters, NJ. Gabrielle Lamaire, for
eight years French Minister at Picking,
presses a pessimistc feeling regarding the ex-
tension Of the anti-foreign movement. For
Europeans" says NJ. Lamaire the present
crisis is the gravest that has yet occurred. 1t
appears TO me that the DOwager Empress at the
present moment IS entirely under the influence
of a powerful coalition Of ltterateurs, compris-
ing all the influential mandarins at Court, who
feel that their former omnipOtence has been
shaken by the invasion of the products of West
ern science, such as the telegraph and railroad.
The coalition has frightened the Empress by
dwelling the importance Of the concessions
made TO foreigners threatening the integrity
Of the Empire.
THE present movement is a veritable crusade
against Western civilization, in which the EN-
press is accomplice. The Boxers are the tool
which is being used against foreigners-to be
repudiated should matters not result it is
hoped they will. The return of the Dowager
Empress and Court to Picking from the summer
palace signifies that the Empress and her Court
are afraid the Boxers will turn against them
when they find themselves abandoned by the
Empress"

LONG ON CHINESE TROUBLE.
SECRETARY SAYS HE THINKS THERE
ARE ENOUGH SHIPS AT MANILA
TO MEET EMERGENCIES.

THE Navy will cooperate with the State De-
partment in the protection Of American in

of the Navy, last night, TO Tribune reporter

Navy IS adjunct Of the State Department
We await their orders. The Navy will be glad
to cooperate with the State Department"
Mr.. Long was seen last night at the home OF
S. " White, at No. 90 Columbia Heights
Brooklyn. where he a guest. Mr. Long
started last night for Boston on the IL o'clock
train from the Grand Central Station.
According to Secretary Long 1t is not likely
that the North Atlantic Squadron, now at New
port. will be brought into use in dealing with
the Chinese problem. He said he did not think
a situation would arise that would demand the
presence Of the squadron in Asiatic waters He
seemed convinced that some means Of com
municatiOn would be established with Minister
Conger, at Picking Mr.. Long and Mr.. Conger
were acquainted when the two were Congress
men. Mr. Long said that ii had been two days
since any word was received from the Minister.
Mr. Long spoke of the squadron at Manila.

lesser warships which he said he thought would
be ample to meet the exigenCies as they arose
in China.

now been cut of from communication since
Tuesday Even the United States Consuls in
the ports Of North China were silent Admiral
Kennpff has not been heard from since yester-
dav. This absence Of official reports has given
rise 10 grave apprehension here It was ex-
pected that there might be delay in hearing from
Mr. Conger but in the case Of Admiral henpfi
an early report was looked for, and II is feared
that the officers Of the foreign fleet at Taku
have been prevented from reaching the cable
station there either by the open hostility of the
Boxers or by the sinister orders Of the Chinese
Government.
Yesterday Admiral KemPff called upon
ty direction Of the President for an explicit
statement Of the situation and his needs. 1t
was for him TO say whether he required rein
