Emperor williams Address.

Berlin, July 3O.--Emperor Williams ad-
dress to the soldiers comprising the China
expedition forms the subject OF general
discussion. The emperor's instructions To
spare no Chinese and make no prisoners
are condemned by nearly rybody one
meets and also by the press.
The Lokal anzeiger pretends that the
emperor did not mean what his words i'm.
Piled; but that he merely wished To eau.
tion the members of the expedition tina,
they would meet foe who does not spare
and makes no prisoners. Dut nearly all
the other papers, commenting ON the
emperors speech, strongly argue against
it, ..e Tageblatt, in specially caustlc
manner reminding the emperor that telling
his soldiers TO carry civilization into China
and in the same breath enjoining them
to deal with ferocious severity there do not
tally. Besides, the paper argues, the EN-
peror has no right TO so instruct the expedi.
tion, because the expedition will form
mand OF chief OF some otaer nationality
whose instruction solely they must obey.
The paper maintains that "the en-
peror's behavior is mkely to split up the
harmony OF the powers, as doubtless some
Of the powers will not agree to the en-
perors instructions"
several papers draw a parallel between
this latest speech by Emperor William
and one he delivered in 1903, dedicating to
the Redecmer the church at Jerusalem, on
which occasion the kaiser preached the
gospel of Christian long suffering toward
all nations.

tenant commanders to the army corps,
namely: Generals DE Salcier Tanshot,
Lndron and Tisseyre, thus modifying a
former decree of General de Gallifet, ac-
cording to which all the members of the
council of war, instead of residing in
Paris, are bound to be commanders OF the

the infantry in place Of General Milet,
who replaces General Tanshot as com
nander of the division of infantry.
The third decree appoints General Flor

Paris, July 29.-Yu Keng, the Chinese
minister here, says he is convinced the
legations in Pekin are safe and sound, al.
though some buildings have been "a.
stroyed.
While this conviction is not shared by
the official and political world here, dis
patches from the tar east during the past
week have raised renewed hope that some
If not all--of the members Of the lega.
tions are still alive. Minister Yu keng
thinks the silence Of the ministers at Pc
kin not SO ominous as IL il considered
abroad, and he asks that China be given
another five days credit TO produce au-
thentic and satisfactory news Of the le-
cations, or perhaps of the ministers them
selves. lie himself is still in ignorance Of
the actual situation in Pekin, but CON
cludes from dispatches he has received
from the provincial viceroys and from
telegrams asking for mediation of France
that Emperor Kwang Hsu and the enl-
press dowager have the upper hand and
that Prince Tuan has been definitely mas
tered. ...
Happily for my country and for the
foreigners" he said, "Yung Lu and Prince
Ching are, | believe, now in power, and
TINS leaves me hopeful--eyen though the
presumption Of the ministers may prove
correct--that the legationers are still
alive"

New York, July 30.-Sheridan Z. Reed,
eX-consul at Tientsin, says:
"When the allied relief forces reach Pc

serted by the court and the ENJOYS gone.

possibly the emperor, have fled with their
court under the escort of Manchu banner

moved to the remote inland city OF Sinan
Flu, a place more difficult to reach, it is
necessary that the Chinese should put
forth all their finesse and cunning TO con
ceal this move until they are safe across
the mountains.
'o.nan Flu was capital OF China In
ancient times. 1t is situated on the 30
called 'Marcopolo' road. The only way
i. could be reached would be by way OF
the Yang Use from Hankow up the Han
river and Tan river valleys. This would
be most herculean task. Sinan Fu is
larger and cleaner than Pekin. Like all
Chinese cities it is massively walled"

New Orleans Again auIet.

New Orleans, July 29.-Mob violence
seems to have spent itself and the city is
quiet again. No fresh outbreaks are re.
ported, the burning of the 1nomy Lain
school having evidently been the crown
ing piece of mob violence. Mayor Capde-
vile says that the lawlessness, such as
that which has shocked the community
for the last few days can only be sup
pressed by force. He said today that he
had no intention Of disbanding the special
police or discharging the militia until the
last vestige OF mob violence had disap,
peared. Among the communications re-
ceived by the mayor today was an oifel
from the leading citizens OF Tangipahoa
for sufficient number Of able bodied mer
to annihilate the negroes Of New Orleans.

THE HARDER LAND CASE.
An Interesting Side Issue to be
fOnQht Out

Sixto Alvsrado. Mexican, filed COM
plant against A. M. Loomis, Francisco
Alderete, his agent, and Martin Cas-
tro, laborer in his employ, for wilful.
ly and mischievonsly il juring and de-
stroying a house on south Stanton
street In block 25, Campbell's addition.
Mr.. Loomis purct ased the block sew
eral years ago froU the Campbell Real
Estate com psuy, and u short time ago
Warder, who claims half of Ell Paso
and this block included, went to the
place ADD put posts around tt e lot and
wire on the posts and then built q lit.
tie shed with fonr posts and a STRAW
roof and rented the place to Sixto AL
va-ado.
When Judge Loomis was advised of
the fact he sent his agent Alderete and
several Mexican laborers down TO tear
the shed aud fence down. This they
did and this was the cause OF the COM
plant.
The case was called up before JUS
tice Spencer this morning. and by COM
mon consent was CONT, ued until next
Monday morning. There is quite q
coed deal of interest in the Warder
suit and this will be a test case. The
OF the big suit are already
familiar to almost every body in Ell
Paso.

ELECTRIC CAR LINE
Will Almost Certainly Be In Opera
tion Within a Year

The Ell Paso and Juarez traction
company has about completed it's
plans to convert the present mule car
INES into complete electric system,
and an announcement of their plans
In full is expected within few weeks.
The company will probably file their
bond with the city during this month
and on that day the company will be-
gin tearing up the old lines to be re-
placed with the new. General Arson
Mills, who has the management in
hand, has gone with his family to
Chihuahua and the City of Mexico. but
Is expected back soon with all neces-
sary plans for the lines in Juarez.
The only definite announcement
that can be made at this time is that
the company will construct an cleo
trio line in the near future but it is
positively known that the lines will
traverse more ground than at pres
ent.

CHICAGO, Oct "a Paris dispatch
to the American says: According to
Agoncillo's report of Aguinaldo's
movements important fights have tax

He says the Americans have been dis

thermore it is alleged that MacAr--

The people will not accept the munich

BURNS AND LABBY
60 Back to parlis ment. Much to the
DISGUST OF the Conservatives.

LONDON, Oct. 3.-The return of
Henry Labouchere, the anti-imperia-
list and John Burns the well known
labor leader to parliament in yester-
days elections is a big disappointment
to the conservatives and they count
that the pronounced views of these
men partly balance the substantial
gains of the ministerialists in other
quarters.
Burns was returned with an in
creased majority, though it was pre-
dicted that if he won out it would be
by a narrower margin than in 1895.

DANGEROUS LUNATIC
Man With a knife Created Terror.

An alleged lunatic pamed johnson,
whose home is said to be at Fori
Worth, created q panic last afternoon
on Myrtle avenue In front of the
Christian church by hourishing q
large knife and threatening to kill
passers by with the weapon.
hief Lookhars and Officer Billy
and reinforcements were also called for
from the sheriff q Office, Sheriff Boone
and Deputy Comstock responding.
The four officers outlined their plan
Of attack At q distance, holding a
council of war before they approached
the spot where the man stood; brand
ishing his weapon. It WAS agreed
that Chief Lockhart should form the
advance guard and engage the lunatic
Ia conversation and while bis atten-
ton Was thus diverted Deputy Com
etock WAS instructed to tackle him In
the rear. This he did, winding his
and holding him powerless until the
other Off sers could throw themselves
upon him and overpower him.
This morning Jackson WAS fully
identified by Mr.. Badger, brother OF
Alderman Badger, % John jackson of
Waco. Mr.. Badger, formerly q Texas
sheriff, knows all about Jackson AMI
says he is q dangerous man when under
the 10 fue, ce OF cocaine and likely to
ID ke human life during such periods.
Jackson's reason appe ared to return
this morning and be asked Jailer
RI fger what 'cha z was against him.
