Directions for Punishment of Chief
Chinese Offenders.
ADVICES RECEIVED BY MINISTER VIII
Departure Of the Russian Legation
From Pekin.
YUNG LUIS APPOINTMENT

A cablegram received by the Chinese min
lister from Director General Sheng, at
Shanghai. states that by an imperial edict,
issued on September %, Prince Chwang
Prince Yih, Secondary Princes Tsai Lien
and Tsai Ying are deprived of all their re-
spective ranks and offices; that Prince
Tuan is deprived of Office and is handed
over to the imperial clan court, which shall
consult and decide upon severe penalty
and his salary is to be stopped; that Duke
Tsai Ian and the president of the censorate,
Ying Men, are handed over to the said
board who shall consult and decide upon
severe penalty, and that Kang vi assistant
grand secretary and president Of the civil
board and Chao Shu-ChiaO, president of
the board Of punishments are handed over
to the board of censors, who shall consult
and decide upon penalty.
Minister Wu's information appears to put
at rest all question to the fall of the re-
dictionary element, headed by Prince Tuan,
and including the president of the CEN
sorate and of the board of punishments-
1t shows, moreover that the punishment of
Tuan is more severe than heretofore re-
ported, as he is removed from office. a fact
not stated In the previous dispatches. The
clan court Is directed also to decide upon a
severe penalty" in addition to the loss of
office salary and servants.
Russian Legation Leaves Pckfn.
The State Department received dispatch
from Minister Conger today announcing the

Beyond this there was little additional
news bearing on the Chinese situation. 1t
was stated officially that the reported
French note to the powers regarding the
opening of negotiations and the permanent
disarmament of the Chinese had not been
received. But if 1t proves true that such a
note has been sent 1t is said that the propo-
stion for the disarmament of the Chinese
can hardly be considered with favor by this
government, owing to the commercial
standing and recognized sovereign authority
of China nation

Thus far there has been no protes. on the
part of this government against the ap-
pointment of Yung Lu one of the Chinese
peace commissioners The State Depart
ment is now inclined to think that he was
not as culpable the first reports indi-
Gated, but the authority of Minister Conger
and Mr.. Rockhill is such that If they learn
that he is an undesirable negotiator they
will be enabled to protest. although they
have not acted in that direction so far. 1t
is thought probable that the. matter Will
come to an issue when the sufficiency of
credentials is examined.

tary Mr.. Chung. went to Baltimore at II

SPANKED THE MAYOR.
Mayor Turner of Parkersburg In Lu.
dicrous Predicament.

Mayor Turner of Parkersburg, fur
nished the State Journal with the fol-
lowing interesting description of an
original and unique method adopted
at the state prison for inducing re-
fractory convicts to be good:
The machine is an ordinary chair,
with two paddles fer seat. These
paddles are set padding by small
electric battery. 1t is very effective
means of punishment, so Warden
Hawk informed the mayor, and a
convict who is once subjected 10 the
spanker, tries to avoid it thereafter.
Mayor Turner desired to test the ell
cheney of the continuance aud seated
himself In the chair. Warden Hawk
very kindly offered TO strap the mayor
ia the chair, but his honor courteous
~ declined. The paddles were set
going and before the mayor could
jump about ten feet ia the air his
anatomy was padded hundred
times. When the mayor recovered
from the shock he declared that the
machine was a success. All that day
he was reminded momentarily of the
thoroughness with which the spank
ing machine performed its work.
