III MINISTER'S IN CONFERENCE
Over h Chinese Treaty of Peace.
Suicide of Yu Hsfen Doubted

Washington, November Minister
WI called at the state department to-
day and talked with Secretary Hay for
half an hour about the proceeding of
the foreign ministers at Pekin. The de-
partment takes the ground that while
the ministers themselves are trying to
get together on common ground, to pre-
sent a united front to the Chinese in
the negotiations, it would be highly i'm
polite to make public any little dis
senSions or differences. So all that can
be gathered officially in that fair pro-
gress is making.
Minister WI was concerned at the
situation at Pao Ting Flu, where tn.
Germans seem to have condemned to
death certain high Chinese function
aries. his subject promises to lead
to energetic remonstrance from the
Chinese government. MI. WI handed
to Secretary Hay the following:
"Cablegram dated November 9Th.
1900, from Viceroy Chang Chin Tung.

A VERY PROFITABLE BUSINESS

Why there is not more dairying in
the south, especially in Virginia, North
Carolina. South Carolina and Georgia,
it is difficult to say. These states and
others, no doubt, might be added in
the southern groupe, are especially
dell adapted to the very remunerative
dairy business. North Carolina has
more than fifty counties that might
embark in this business on an extern
sive scale with a satisfaction Of good
results. Dairy farmers all around our
state would make many a home glad,
give better hveeng to other households
and increase the monetary resources.
North Carolina has many and great ad-
vantaees for industries of various
kinds. But perhaps one of the very
best Of these is the dairy enterprise

WHERE ARE WE ATp

Judge Wilcox this morning threw
out OF Court the libel suit against
the editor OF the Republican, on a
point Of Interpretation Of the con-
etitution.
Mr. Hankey who appeared for the
defendant, held that any person
charged with an infamous crime
must be indicted by the Grand
Jury, before he can be called upon
to defend himself in open Court.
Mr. Hankey quoted numerous au-
thorities in backing his opinion, and
virtually took the wind out OF the
sails of the prosecution.
Eventually the case was dismissed,
Judge Wilcox admitting that ho
has no jurisdiction under the laws,
as interpreted by Mr.. Hankey.
1.-THE U, S. Constitution is to be
construed es Mr.. Hankey wishes it
10 be, we.see no reason why every
offense punishable by imprisonment
should not be thrown out Of the
District Court. Ia fact that Court
might as we'll close because even
the "drunks" are liable to imprison.
ment aud become objects for the
Grand Jury to deal with.
The ruling of Judge Wilcox is un-
doubtedly correct but as His Honor
said, it means virtuslly the throw
ing out OF the whole penal code,
with the exception perhaps OF the
law relating to the riding of bicy-
Gle without light which is punish
able always with fine of $5.
The Magistrate asked Mr.. Hankey
blandly: "How about contempt of
Court, which is punishable with inn
prisonment."
And Mr. Hsnkey answered smil-
ingly: sob, your Honor, the
Supreme Court has held that con-
tempt of Court is not a crime at
all"
Under the circumstances, how
ever, we may as well close our
Courts and throw ourselves on the
mercy Of the Grand Jury.

He was a malihini and he drove
his wife to the Pail in hired buggy.
That was yesterday, aud when he
finally arrived home, he swore SOL

1t wasn't his fault, however. He
was happy and jolly and his wife
held the reins while he was welding
his kodak.
Two friends in buggy met him
and the trouble started there. The
boys asked him to get out and take a
snapshot OF them while picking lilies
under the waterfall near the hallway
house. The "friends" walked out to
the rocks, falling into the holes at
every fourth step. They were dress

Educated.
Among the guests at the Raleigh a
few days ago was well educated ana
pleasant-mannered son of India. He
had been at the hotel several times be-
fore, always ordered the best, and
paid his bills without complaint. On
this occasion he paid for his room in
advance and seemed to have plenty
of money. When he was ready to de-
part, however, he confided to Clerk B..
A. Smith that he had lost his pocket
book and was without a cent. He did
not ask to borrow money, but when he
timore Who would help him, MI.
Smith offered to lend him a couple of
dollars. The Hindoo was profuse in
his thanks, and promised to return the
money as soon as he reached the Ma
ryland city. Yesterday Mr.. Smith re-
ceived postal card from the man in
India, upon which was written:
IT herewith send you. 81. Thanks,
very much. I appreciate your most
noble kindness"
Mr.. Smith looked first on one side
and then on the other of the card, and
finally split it in two, but could find
no trace of the 81. He is now wonder
ing if the Hindoo is. possessed of a
normally developed bump Of humor. or
whether one of those wonderful Indi-
an tricks Of magic is being performed.
The latter theory is the more invit-
ing, and he has placed the card in a

it will not transform itself into 50
