THE CASE OF YOUNG CROSS.
All Hopes of Getting Rcpricve for
Him Abandoned.

Stamford, Conn, July 16.-Dr. Charles
S. Rowell and other well known profess
sional men, who have interested them
selves in the case of Cross, the boy
murderer. and have worked persistently
for reprieve from the governor or
committing of the sentence by the board
of pardons, have finally been forced to
relinquish all hopes of success in their
efforts and according to the natural
course of events the lad will be execut-
ed at Wethersfield soon after midnight
next Friday, July 20. The boy will be
the most youthful criminal that ever
had to pay the death penalty in Connec-
ticut. Following the announcement
made by Governor Lounsbury last week
that he would not reprieve Cross, petit
tions were sent to the board of pardons
from many sources to ask the governor
to call the board together to reconsider
the case. Members of the board appeal
ed to were heard from to-day and with
their announcement that they do not
feel that they should make such a re-
quest the last hope Of being able to stay
the execution disappears.

Drciston of Administrations After II lost
EyentfuI Day.

Washington, July 16.--The decision Of
the administration at the end of a most
eventful day is that the United States
government Is still not at war with the
government Of China. The big happen
ings at Tien Tsin, coming on top of the
stories of the last struggles at Pekin,
administration on this point; the United
States and China are technically at
peace But this statement should not
be accepted as indicating a purpose on
the part of the United States govern
ment to hold its hand in the admins
tration of swift and adequate punish
ment upon the Chinese, without regard
to station, who may be responsible for
the outrages of the past few weeks. 1t
means simply that the government of
the United States feels that it can best
achieve that purpose by regarding the
status officially as one of peace. To
hold otherwise would seriously cripple
the government in its efforts to obtain
satisfaction for the outrages the Ameri-
cans in China have suffered. We
should find closed the ports of China,
which are now open to us and all sorts
of impediments would be encountered
that now are missing. Therefore, ac-
to the administration views,
a declaration of war would afford not
even technical gain while 1t would
actually be a heavy drawback. Chair
man Cannon, of the house appropra-
tions committee, is authority for the
statement that money in plenty is at
the disposal of the president to meet
the present emergency, and that there
is no necessity for calling a Session of
congress on that score.

HUNG BY A CLOTHESLlNE
SUICIDE OF ". e. JONES ON PORT
SEA STREET LAST NIGHT.
He Was mn opttol"n and Was Out Of
Work-Body Hanging to Clothesline
Post Found by His Aged Mofher-He
Had Told Neighbors He Was Going to
Hang Himself

| William e. Jones, an oDtician out OF
work, who resided with his parents at
| 2S7 Portsea street. committed suicide
last evening by hanging himself in the
rear of his parents home. His dead
body was found by his aged mother
who was prostrated by the terrible sight
when she went to the back yard to look
for him after he had been absent from
the house about two hours.
Jones was man about forty-two
years of age and for number of years,
until recently, had been employed at his
profession In cities in central New York
state. About six months ago he came
to New Haven, and had been unable to
secure employment here, although 1t is
said that he attempted to get work as a
day aborer. He was an eccentric man
and it Is related by those who knew
him that he not long ago went to West
Haven to secure a Job on some work
that was being done there. He was
dressed up at the time and did not have
the appearance Of a man who needed
work, therefore the position which he
sought was refused him and. was given
to a man who apparently needed 1t
more
His father William r. Jones' Is an
aged man, and was formerly sailor
but in recent years has followed the
painters trade. Since returning to New
Haven the son has not done any work,
and his father, finally, according to the
stories of neighbors, became dissatisfied
and told him that he must get to work.
AT any rate father and son have had
some trouble and during the last few
days the son had frequently told neigh
bors that he was going TO hang himself.
Yesterday afternoon he told SOME
children who live In the 'neighborhood
that he did not know where he was go
ing to sleep last night unless it was In
some shed. He went into the back yard
early last evening and about supper
time his mother took a cup Of tea and
some sandwiches out to him. That was
the last she saw of him until she found
him hanging dead about $3.50 o'clock
last evening. He had taken the clothes
line and hung himself to a clothesline
post at the rear of the back yard. After
the remains had been found DIR. White,
the medical examiner was summoned,
and made an examination,
Jones at one time had some property
but had lost it all. He had been twice
married and his first wife died several
years ago. Two children, which he had
by his first marriage, are also dead. He
had not lived with his second wife for
three or four years.

No Ground for Hoping the Report IL
Not True,

London, July 17-3:53 a. m.-Up to
this hour there has been no further
news received regarding the reported
massacre at Pekin from any source In

yond an admission that there was no
ground for hoping that the report was
not true, William 81, Jonn Brourick
parliamentary secretary to the foreign
office, had nothing to communicate. An
unusual hush fell upon the chamber
when the subject came up. A few mem
bers doffed their hats, but otherwise
there was no demonstration.
No question was put to Lord Sails
bury in the house of lords, probably by
preconcerted arrangement, it being
considered that at the present stage of

CHINESE FERMENT SPREADS
CONSULS At SHANGHAI AND CHE
roo WANT MORE SHIPS.
Adviccs Indicate an IncreasingIy Seri-
Gus State of ARairs-Further Check Of
rising japanese Officers san Conn
dent They Can Reach Pektn Before
Roads Become Impassnblc-No News


London, July 1853 a. m.-Tee-
dicate an increasingly serious state of
affairs. 1t is alleged that the foreign
consuls at Shanghai have cabed their
governments that there is urgent need
of more warships to protect that port,
owing to the menacing attitude of the
Chinese and the temptation to loot the
vast stores of merchandise recently ac-
cumulated there. 1t seems that the
Chinese have already threatened to fire
the great oil tanks on the Pao Tung
side of the city.
From Che Foo comes the report that
the entire adult male population of the
three provinces of Chi Ii, Shan ST and
Shan Tung are massing to defend Pekin
in the conviction that the powers mean
war. There is little doubt that a fur
ther check of the allies at Tien TsIn
would be the signal for a gene raj anti
foreign rising throughout China.
The japanese officers are still conf
dent of their ability to reach Pekin be-
fore the roads become impassable but
the European commanders believe that
an advance will be impossible before
September. Fighting is said to be i'm
minent at New Chwang, where the Box
erS are threatening the foreign settle
ment The Russians have barricaded
the streets and loopholed the houses of
the foreigners. The bank officials have
removed their valuables to Port Ar
thur.
Perhaps the most serious among the
many reports from Shanghai Is the ru-
NOR that since the massacre at Pekin
five Chinese regiments have been order
ed south with instructions to make Chin
Hang Pom, at the the head of the !
Grand canal, the objective point for the I
southwark extension of the Boxer
movement.
The Times says that it is taken for
granted in diplomatic circles that when I
the Chinese crisis is settled. Great Brit |
ain will retain the right to nominate the /
inspector of Chinese customs.
