The crowd closed around Mr.. Winter

well have raised his voice against a

In an instant every hand reached for

Of other valuable property hoping that
some time he might be able 10 regain
these treasures and use them 10 his
own advantage,
The golden stool was the Ashanti
substitute for n throne. and II was re-
puted TO be made for the most part Of
gold. II was large article Of furni-
ture and was perhaps worth some thou
sands Of dollars, The British have been
searching for this valuable relic. and,
In fact, have been digging holes far
and wide around cumassi in the hope
OF unearthing other treasures.
A great deal of gold was produced In
Ashanti for many years and most OF
1t found its way into the hands Of the
king and the mobiles. The precious
metal was worked up into rudely fash
ioned jewelry or adornments for the
attire and furniture OF the wealthy
classes, and great many Of these
products Of the native goldsmiths were
buried with every man of Importance.
The natives say their fathers have be-
lieved for hundreds Of years that burial
OF gold IN their graves assured them Of
great blessings in the next world; and
white men who have visited the coun-
try say that gold to the value OF S5 1000
or more is hidden In many grave. Per-
haps these stories are exaggerated, |
but at any rate there has been in the

One of the edifficulties to be en-.
countered in the enforcement Of

Curtis act will be in determining
whether Cherokee citizen is in
actual possession of more land than
his pro rata share ornot. No grand

the law had been violated. Until |
the census is completed no one can
know what a pro rata share

own right more land than his pro

the lower court which convicted A. ".
Booth, of Chicago, of unlawfully con-
tracing with commission company
for an option to buy 10000 bushels Of
corn at a future time, contrary to the
statute. The decision declares the
Illinois law regarding puts" and
'calls" to be valid. The defense holds
that the commission company contract
did not bind Booth to take the corn
on delivery and was merely gamble
on the price of corn.

Manila Troops to be Ready.

Washington, June 25.-That the
president and the members of the cab
met regard the situation in China as
extremely critical is shown by the fact
that the preliminary preparations are
being made to send forward additional
troops in case of need. A telegram
was sent to General Macarthur at
Manila asking him how large force
can he spare should it become neces-
sary to send them to China. After his
reply is received instructions may be
sent to have transports and troops in
readiness in anticipation of orders to
sail. 1t is said that it is not the pur-
pose of the president to dispatch these
additional troops at once except in the
event that the situation becomes even
more grave and critical than at present.

that the attack upon the legations has
been successfully renewed. Nothing
definite is known as to the result ex-
cept that the Chinese were disappoint-

credited by foreigners here, are that

ton of Taku, have since massacred al

Concessions Destroyed.
LEGATIONS AT PEKIN SAFE.

London, June ga special dispatch
from Vienna says Lii Hung Chang has
wired the various Chinese legations in
Europe directing them to inform the
governments to which they are ac-
credited that he is called to Pekin by
the empress to act as intermediary be-
tween China and the powers to nego-
tiate settlement of the points at
issue; and he instructs them to beg the
powers TO facilitate his mission by
ceasing to send troops to China.
Sheng, director general of kilograms,
wires from Shanghai to the Chinese
legations in Europe that the foreign
legations in Pekin are safe.
1t is reported that the British gov
eminent will Immediately send 1900
marines to China and, possibly, accord
ing to some of the morning papers,
10000 of the regulars now with Lord
Roberts.
Reports from native sources continue
to reach Shanghai of anarchy in Pekin.
According to these the streets are filled

THE EJEcTMENT OF FRIARS.
Judge Taft Given the Consideration of
This Question.

This Question.
Washington, June 25.-Perhaps be-
cause he was not himself prepared to
make any Recommendation upon them,
General Macarthur did not transmit to
the war department. the results of the
meeting of the Filipinos at Manila,
at which they drew up the terms for
the settlement of the differences be-
tween the leaders of the insurrection
and the United States government.
The general impression is that General
Macarthur will leave the Philippine
commission to deal with such matters.
Some at least of the matters desired
corrected are incorporated in the in
structions given to the commission.
For instance, Judge Taft, the presi-
dent of the commission, has been
specially charged by his colleagues
with the consideration of the question
as to how the universal desire of the
Filipinos for the ejectment of the friars
from the archipelago is to be recon
ciled with the organic principles of our
laws relative to individual liberty.
