DISCORD ALL AROUND.

Berlin, Nov. 1.-THE Frankfurte1
Zeitung prints a dispatch from China
saying that discord prevails in Pekin
between the military and diplomatists
and that the latter are also at logger
heads among themselves.
Vorwarts, the socialist organ, says:
1--WE are informed that the kaiser is
indignant over letters from soldiers in
China, showing German atrocities
there and has ordered an immediate
investigation. An army order of this
is in preparation. It is in
comprehensive, however, that such
letters should cause ~displeasure in
army circles, since they only show
that the soldiers correctly execute
orders given by their s%uperiors."

TWO BOYS
WHIPPED
AT POST.
Ancient Method Of Punishment
Still In Vogue in tho State
Of Delaware.

Wilmington. Del. Nov. 2s.--Two boys,
accused of petty theft were whipped at
the post In Newcastle Saturday. The
barbarous exhibition has again aroused
public sentiment against the old law OF
public chastisement,
Talk OF making an effort for the abol-
ishment OF the antique punishment has
begun. and an effort I'm that direction
will be made. An act OF the Legislature
Will be necessary.
Shortly before noon motley crowd
gathered In the old jail yard TO see the
whippings and the pilloring OF prisoners.
The air was biting cold. and Patrick Nc
Cue and James OBrien, who had been
convicted OF burglary. stood and shivered
I'm the pillory. though kind-hearsed Sher-
IN Taylor covered them with blankets.
The crowd which had assembled and is
used 10 seeing culprits iiogged. were not
prepared for the sight of the nogging OF
the two lads.
Had not Sheriff Taylor been kind
hearted man. the exhibition would have
been much worse, for the law says that
the lashes shall be well laid on and IL
is doubtful If the sheriff did lay them on
as well as the law requires.
John Anker and William Bradley were
a freight car and stolen a small quantity
OF perfumery Recently they were tried
before the criminal court here and con-
victed.
Anker came first TO the post 10 be
strung up and lashed. He says he Is not
yet Is years old and the $50 people who
were present believed IL. There were
tears I'm some eyes as the light little fell
low was triced up. with his back barred
for the punishment which he was 20 re-
ceive
Every muscle In his body quivered with
the cold and with fear, and he kept his
face turned from the crowd with shame.
Chief Warden Charles Bowers counted
tho lashes. and the crowd noticed that
tho knd-hearted sheriff was laying them
on lightly.
Every mark OF the GATOR -nine-tails,
showed upon his tender back, and had
the sheriff laid on the lashes as is the
usual custom the boys back would have
been covered with blood. Back TO his
cell, with his face down. went tfIU young
ster when his punishment was completed
William Bradley. his 1S-year-old com
panion. came next. He is slightly larger
than Anker. but his youth appealed TO all
who were there, and again the sheriff
laid on the lashes lightly. but the stripes
showed on his bare back Like his COM
panion he went back TO the Jail with his
head down.
William Smith, an old offender and ex-
convict. who, was with them when the
crime was committed. then took ten
lashes, each of which brought the blood
TO the surface.
Men In the crowd about the pillory de-
nounced the law while the boys were
whipped. 1T is a disgrace to the state"
said one, and III is an outrag ge." declared
another. Criminal experts declare that
the disgrace of public whipping will
ruin both the lads. and that they Will
certainly be forced into life of crime by
