DENVER. Nov. 17.-'well. no other
parents viii suffer from that brute's

spoken by Mrs. Frost today when asked
for an expression on the punishment Of

said, and as for me, don't care who

The movement to reinstate capital
punishment in the statutes Of Colorado
has received a great impetus from the
murder Of Louise Frost. and the awful
lynching that followed the confession Of
her murderer. An amendment is now
being drawn and its advocates will
make an aggressive fight for its enact
ment at the coming session of the leg
islature. BY this bill, hanging will be
made the penalty for murder and pos
sibly also for assaults such as that
committed upon Louise Frost previous
to her murder
No steps have been taken to prose-
cute any members of tie mob which
burned young Porter at Llmon last
night. and it is unlikely that any will be

said that The negro should have been

direction"
Poolrooms and gambling houses were
open today as usual undisturbed by the
wide advertisement Of the Tammany
crusade against vice. No person who

any real difficulty in placing it. In

FRANco-AMERIcAN QUARRELs.

Correspondence Of Associated Press.)
TEN TSIN. China. Oct 24.-The
presence OF a large number of troops
here in contiguous camps and with nat
uraIly existing national prejudices is
causing considerable friction and several
unpleasant incidents have occurred. So
far, however, none OF them has pro-
gressed beyond the stage Of incidents
easily adjusted. and on all sides ther /,
is a very evident disposition to treat
these occurrences as the natural result
of military conditions.
One Of the chief causes Of friction has
been the number of pontoon bridges
thrown across the river. There are three
OF these within the space of mile and
as the river IS simply crowded with
ljunks and tow boats some conflict has
been the result. Most of the trouble
has occurred at the French bridge and
twice trouble has resulted between the
French guards and the American SEN
tries on the boats.
A few days ago string of twenty
junks coming down stream was held
up at the French bridge for several
hours in spite of the protests of the
American guards on board. Finally
word reached the American headquar-
ters Of the condition of affairs and an
officer was sent UP TO the bridge. He
found a French sentinel on the forward
toat and promptly ordered him off.
There was a sharp interchange between
the American and French officers, but
the sentry was removed. General SUM-
ner then arrived and the result was
that the bridge was opened and the
boats allowed to pass.
a day or two ago there was another
bit of friction in which both sides
rather overstepped the limit and are
fairly chargeable with s'ma blame. The
bridge regulations require that cnly one
boat go through at a tnnA A fleet of
lunks in charge If 1n-colnmissioned

attempt was made to take three of
them through the draw abreast. In

the draw and the American on the lead
ing ooat and the French bridge guards
clashed The French attempted to ar
rest the American and a fist fight en-
sued in which one Frenchman went
overboard and several were badly used
up. The American was finally over
powered and put under guard. He was
soon released but according to his
statement. he was struck while under
arrest by a French officer The man
stated that two guards held their bay
onets at his heart while an officer hit
him in the face cutting a cash over his
eye. The matter is now under inyesti-
gation.
The feeling between the French and
American soldiers apparently dates
from the killing of Corporal Hughes

companions attempted to rush in orGer
