CHINA & PETITIONER.
Asks the United States to Interfere
With other Powers.

The Chinese Government, through its
minister here, is endeavoring to secure the
Influence of the United States toward caus-
ing the other powers to modify their de-
mands for the pun n;shment o: Chinese Off
ctdls concerned in the Boxer outbreak.
There is little prospects that this Govern
ment will comply with the Chinese peti-
tion. This attitude is not due SO much
however to any desire to have wholesale
punishme2ts inflicted as it is TO the feel
ing that the powers are best able TO zter-
mine what punitive programme should be
adopted, and disinclination on tae part
OF the United States to act as China's
special pleader in the congress of nations
The United States. it is said. will not in
terfere with the action of some of the
powers in executing Chinese officials at
Paoting-fu and other places in the vicini-
ty of Pekin where the most horrible out
RACES were perpetrated en- foreigners
These sentences have been carried out in
cependently of the power md the United
has had no part in then. T'-ey are the
result Of military operations in which the
American troops did not participate The
Government, however, regrets that SEN
tences of death are being imposed by in
diyIdual nations and not by agreement
among all the nations concerned
The programme of punishment partially
agreed on by the foreign ministers in Pc
kin has caused thrill of horror in Chi
nese official circles, and the Chinese min
listers at the several capitals of the powers
are endeavCring to have the list reduced
The latest information received at the
State Department about the punitive ar
rangements is that the names of General
Tung- -fah-siang and Viceroy Yu Hsien have
been added to the list. Yu Hsien is the
official who was reported to have commit
ted suicide by swallowing gold leaf, but
who Is now believed to be alive and in hid

States have been carried for Bryan unless
belated returns should make an unexpect-
ed change
In the Pacific Coast States the Republic
ran pluralities are much larger than indi-
Gated by the first reports. The Republi-
cans made a clean sweep in California

The report has gained currency
that the artesian well in Colfax
has been gradually decreasing OF
late, and has finally stopped flowing
altogether. This is mistake, as
the flow continues about the same
as ever. The report was caused by
the water having been shut off one
night last week. However, it was
easily started few hours later.
This has occurred once or twice
heretofore without any perceptible
evil effect on the volume Of water.

Mr.. Jno. L. Kelly, of Montgom.
cry, was i'll Coltax on Thursday
and brought word of the killing oi
a young white man at st. Maurice
by negro. The negro was arrest
ed and taken to the Winfield Jail.
From Mr.. Kelly's account, the kill
ing was atrocious and unproyoked,
the negro having first provoked the
difficulty by his insolence, and then
stabbed his victim to death for re-
senting his insults. Much indig-
nation was expressed by the citi-
zens, and Mr.. Kelly says party
went to Winfield for the purpose
of taking the negro out of jail and
swinging him to limb.
LATER.-Under date of June Goth
we find the following special in the
Tines-Democrat:
Fifty prominent citizens of Winn
and Natchitoches parishes rode in
to the town of WINFIELD at 5 o'clock
Tuesday, demanding the body of
Jim Callins. negro, jailed for the
murder of a white man, Charlie
Roach, at st. Maurice, two weeks
ago. Sheriff J. HI. Crawford was
notified and at once summoned a
posse of deputies and refused to
surrender the prisoner. He noti- |
he'd the crowd that he would die
before he would surrender the pris-
oner.
Great excitement reigned until |
the leaders agreed not to attempt
to take the negro until morning. |
The intention was to hang the ne
gro to a cottonwood tree in front
Df the Jail. The sheriff kept the
Jail closely guarded until morning,
and up to IL o'clock noon nothing
vas done, most of the crowd leav-
ing. Trouble was expected at any
line to-day.

Must be a Mistake.

The people Of Grant parish are

to be tried. The Shreveport & Red
River Valley Railroad can't be

suits are tried and determined, as
right of way is what is wanted

1t is possible there are few liti-
gants who would like for their
causes to be put at issue, but we
doubt If any considerable number
of the people of Grant are at all
anxious for session of the district
court. Also our confrerer's infor-
nation about those exappropria-
ton suits is faulty. We under
stand that the s. & r. r. v. rail-
road has secured the entire right
OF way through Grant parish, with
the exception of one or two small
tracts, of rather insignificant size,
and work on the railroad is being
pushed right along every day with

Silas Garrett's Escapetade.,

A big hurrah was raised las,
Saturday and Sunday over the al.
legged escape" of S. L. Garrett
from the Alexandria Jail, and spec.
ials galore about it were fred al
the city newspapers. 1t seems
that Jailor Stafford, feeling a bit
sorry for Garrett, and regarding
him as rather an inoffensive sort
OF young man, has been allowing
him considerable freedom. Friday
night Garrett disappeared, and, as
he did not turn up on Saturday,
deputies were sent out in all direc-
tions for him.
Saturday morning Garrett show
ed up on the court house gallery
at Colfax, and, calling his brother
w. B. Garrett, one of the Grant
parish deputies, informed him that
he was on his way home His
brother told him he could not 90
any where at all, bat that he would
have to turn him over to Sheriff
Swafford, who would see that he
went back where he came from.
Word was telegraphed to Sheriff
Stafford and on Sunday one of the
deputies FROM Rapides appeared,
and the prisoner was turned over
to him to take back to Alexandria,
and this ended the erratic escapade.

Protest Against High Paper.

4
J The newspaper publishers have
at last got their protest against the
unjust increase in the price of pa
per before Congress, and the mat
ter has been referred to commit
tee. 1t was too late for action at
this session of Congress, but it is
hoped that the infusion of more
Democratic ideas in the next body
will result in some favorable action.
The complaint is, that within the
recent period of one year the price
OF paper in the United States has
nearly doubled. 1t is alleged that
the increase is the dirict result of
combination of the various mills
and pulp factories of the country.
and that there is no natural or rea-
sonable cause for the exhorbitant
advance. The protest before Con-
gress demands that the paper and
pulp companies be forced to show
the total amount paid during the
year for interest on bonds.
dividends on stock, taxes, wages to
and also the total re-
ceipts and expenditures for paper, |
materials, ETC., in operating for the
year. If the law against such
trusts is enforced it is thought the
price of paper can be reduced at
east one-third, if not more.
