Washington Oct. 3-The Chinese minis
ter mas delivered to the state department
Official confirmation Of the degradation oil
Prince Tuan and many other Chinese lead
els. The following official statement Is
made as to Minister Wu's dispatch:
"A eabegrAm received from Director
General sleng at Shanghai states that by
imperial edict, issued ON September %,
Prince Cnwang, Prince yin, secondary
Princes Tsai Lien and Tsai- iing are de
pri,ed vi all their respective ranks and
Offices that Prince Iuan is deprived OF OF
ice and Is handed over To the imperial elan
court, IS hich shall consult and decide upon
a severe penalty ,tand his salary is to be
siepped that Duke Tsai. Ian and the pres
ident Of the censoate iing men, are hand
cd over 10 the said board, who shall consult
ard decide upon a severe penalty; and that
Rang vi, assistant grand secretary and
president OF the civil board, and Cho-Su-
Cbiao, president Of the board OF punish
mcnt, are handed over to the board oil
ceIisors, Who shall consult and decide upon
penalty"
Minister Wu'5 information appears to
put at rest all questions as to the fall OF the
reactionary element, headed BY Prince
Iuan, aud including the president oi the
e.nsorate and of the board OF punishnents.
/. shows, moreover, that the punishment OF
Tuah i more severe than hitherto report
ed, os he is removed from office, Il fact not
stated IN the previous dispatches. The elan
court IL directed also to decide upon a
Severe penalty" in addition to the loss Of
office and servants.
The state department received dis
patch from Minister Conger announcing
the departure OF the Russian legation from
Pekin. Beyond this there was little addi-
tionai bearing on the Chinese situation.
II was stated officially that the reported
French note to the powers regarding the
opening Of negotiations and permanent
disarmament Of the Chinese had been re.
ceived. II 1t proves true that note has
been sent ii is said that the proposition for
disarlna mcnt can hardly meet with favor
by this government, owing to the com
mercial standing and recognized sovereign
authority Of China as a nation.
Thus far there has been no protest on
the part Of this government against the
appointment Of Yunglu AS one OF the
Chinese commissioners. The state depart
ment is inclined now to think that he i,

CHAPTER II.
THE WAGER.

"What | mean to assert" said Ralph
Sturgis, with quiet conviction, lis that
every crime is its own historians; that
all it's minutest details are written in
circumstantial evidence as completely
as an eyewitness could see them-aye,
more fully and more truly than they
could be described by the criminal him
self"
The reporter was a man Of about 30,
whose regular features bore the I'M
mistakable stamp of intelligence and
refinement. In repose, they wore an
habitual expression of retrospective
concentration, which might have led
careless observer to class Ralph Stur-
gfs in the category of aimless dream
ers But single fash of the piercing
gray eyes generally sufficed to dispel
any such impression: and told of keen
perception and underlying power. The
mouth was firm and kind; The bearing
that Of a gentleman and a man Of edu-
cation.
But" objected the hest. ''you surely
do not mean to express belief in the
infallbility of circumstantial evi.
dence?"
sWhy not -
Because you must know as we'll MS
anyone how misleading uncorroborated
circumstantial evidence is. do not for

Time of Anxiety.

(New York Sun Special Service)
LONDON, Dec. 19.-Lord Salisbury, in
speech in London, made a reference to
the war, saying:
IF we mean that the glory of England
shall not suffer tarnish, we must not
allow our efforts to slacken until the
great enterprise in which we are engaged
is carried through. We are speaking
now at time of some anxiety We do
not know exactly what is taking place,
and we earnestly hope that the issue will
be better than the beginning, but we
have to push it through"
In view of the seemingly alarmist tone
OF some of the prime minister's previous
utterances it would, perhaps, be easy to
exaggerate the significance of his words,
but the cancellation Of the preparations
to receive General Roberts on his return
to England is a clear indication that the
government realizes that the near future
is full Of uncertainty and that the mo-
ment is inopportune for public display
of -giori6cation.

The Case Of Nellie MOffett.

Nellie Moffett, Is years DID, place Of
residence New York city, is a forger and
the sometimes relentless law has en-
veloped her in it's tolls OF Nellie's skill
as writer of signatures of others there
is little doubt, for Ave checks falsely
signed by her were successfully negotiat-
ed and she received the money. The
proceeds were expended by the girl in
the purchase Of clothing and Christmas
trinkets for her little brother and sister,
for Nellie's mother is dead, her father is
dying and she has been supporting her
self, or attempting to do so, on the mu-
appear that the girl has been guilty Of
any other forgeries than those she COM
mitted for the purpose of making the
holiday season little brighter for her
younger brother and sister. The chechs
were not for large sums and her greatest
extravaganza was the purchase of doll
that cost $40. The doll was recovered
among other goods purchased with the
proceeds of her forgeries and turned over
to the Mechanics and Traders bank and
the president of that institution ordered
it sent to the child for whom 1t was
bought, with the message that it came
from Santa Claus. The little forger is
held under $500 bonds
A case of precocity in crime is this, OF
Fortunately for the girl it may be, tna,.
her first exploit was not successful, for
society's guardianship is properly exer-
cised may there not be happy re-
demption? Surely there is goodness of
heart in her solicitude for the holiday
happiness of her little brother and SIS
ter, and there is intellect-misdirecte
though it was-in her cleverness in the
execution and negotiation of her first
forged checks. The girl is neither fool
nor a moral degenerate and may we not
hope that the courts will place her where
a conscience as acute as her heart is
warm shall be developed?
Nellie Moffett's case is typical =

nals-by due process OF law-her carec.

A friend has called our attention to
Dobbyn, in reply to 1.-The Hessian buck
sters and their skulking scavangers,
who had the impudence to allege tina:
the man who joined with the Democrats
were dishonest and dishonorable. This,
was in the Progressive Age of April %,
1898. He said:
There is an effort making by few dis
gruntled disappointed and discredited Popu-
lists to brand the men who believe in hon
Orable cooperation in Minnesota as Office
seekers. AS usual it is the thief shouting
stop thief, to divert attention from his
own selfish aspirations. The facts in the
case will Justify us in saying that not a
man in the Populist ranks who is promi
nently advocating cooperation on princi-
pie, but is distnctively opposed to office
seeking. They are known to be without Of
fetal aspirations. There Is not an Office
seeker among them. What can be truthful
ly said of>those who are their caluminatOrs
What about those who are daily seeking to
traduce those men? Not man of them
but has been and is now an Office seeker.
These men are seeking many of them Of
fees now. They know that the men who
have conspicuously stood for cooperation,
do with the one supreme thought, that
the principles which they advocate may be
crystalized into law. They know that these
men instinctvely oppose the selfish men
who are in politics for their own aggrandz-
ment.. They fear them and their influence,
and therefore seek to discredit them. There
will be cooperation, however, In this state
this year and 1t will be honorable CO opera
ton. The great masses Of our citizens, op-
posed to the Republican machine, will re-
fuse to be led up to slaughter, as must
inevitably be the II cooperation of
the reform forces should not obtain. The
Democracy and the silver Republicans
are ready to meet us in a magnanimous
spirit. and platform of an ideal character
will be the result Of the combination
In view of recent events, when Will
liam R. Dobbyn canvassed the state to
make the true Populists go for Repub-
licans, this furnishes very instructive
reading, and should be carefully perused
by every member of the Peoples party.

Uranus and Its Four Moons.

Astronomers are turning their tele-
scopes in the direction of the planet
Uranus, which has become interesting OF
late by reason of the fact that it has as
sumed such position in the sky that it's
four moons, revolving about it like so
many little golden shuttles. are at pres
ent in a plane at right angles with the
line of vision from the earth.
Uranus is one of the great planets of
the outer group in the solar system.
Uranus is very interesting sort OF a
world in more than one respect. 1t is
about 80 times as big as the earth, and
one of it's years is equal to "a of ours.

Pine entreated to accept it in exchange
for his bOlo?
No. no; not at all. There has not
been class of men enfranchised for the
last 40 years that has added to the dig
nifty, the intelligence or the morality OF
the electoral body; on the contrary. all
for time at least, have caused distinct
retrogression. and have added many
diverse elements to be dreaded and fear
ed at every election.
But when suffrage is asked for the wo-
men of the United States the most pro-
found apprehension is at once aroused
lest they might not be able to purify
politics; lest they should not at one
sweep wipe out of existence the vicious
institutions which men have allowed tc
take root and flourish for centuries. The

A dispatch says that Tom Patterson,
editor of the Denver News, has joined
the local Democratic CLUB. Mr.. Patter-
son for several years acted with the
Populists though it was quite apparent
that he never was full-fedged Populist
He was very prominent in the St.
Louis Populist convention of 1896 in
forcing Bryan down the threats of
the convention and made fiery speech
against the nomination of Tom Watson
for vice-president Where are the
leading actors in that terrible mistake !?
Senator Stewart, gone to the Republic
cans. J. B. Weaver, gone into the
Democratic party. Tom Patterson,
gone to the Democrats. T. V. Gator,
gone into the Republican party years
ago. Pfeffer, gone to the Republicans,
Taubeneck is dead. Allen, Butler and
Simpson have yet to state where they
are at" Does it not look like the
straight Populists were about right when
they declared that pie figured in the
patriotism" of Bryan's Endorsement?
Certainly it must be plain as to those
who were instrumental in forcing that
deal who have now gone Republican.
We are not going to forever harp upon
that which is past and cannot now be
helped, but Tom Pattersons joining the
Denver Democratic club the other day
caused us to look about and see what
has become of others who were SO active
and prominent in forcing the Populist
convention of 1896 to go out of their
party for a candidate and indorse the

Our Ticket.

Governor Waite has written a very

takes occasion to knock" on Barker
and Donnelly as not being the best men
to have named at Cincinnati. We are
about tired Of such nonsense The ma
jority of large and very representative
convention at Cincinnati named those
two gentlemen to lead us in the fight,
and it i'll becomes Governor Waite Abe
Steinberger or another one or two to
now howl that such action did not suit
them. The writer went to Cincinnati
favoring Howard and Beaver. After
comforting with many and viewing the
situation as best we could we were in
favor of Barker and Donnelly How
ever, had others been chosen we should
have merged our wishes into the will
of the majority and have worked for
them 1t was not that we made poor
selection of leaders, but that we had
not the money to make a hard fight
that our vote was small No change
of candidates would have remedied
this. We were met on all sides oy
