Defends His Course at Pekin and
Says Missionaries Did Not Loot.
New York, May 5.-Ninister t. H
Conger, Who has lately returned to this
country, furnishes an article on the
Chinese situation which win appear in
the coming. number Of -LesIfe's Weekly.
Mr. Conger says:
Unless matters have changed very
materially since I left China six weeks
ago, the powers Will reach some con-
clusion in regard 10 China Very soon.
OF course, it is didicRlt for eleven men
to agree on anything. especially when
they have eleven governments with
differing views behind them. china is
perfectly willing to do anything that
the powers agree Upon-that is any
thing within hes ability to accomplish,
She is only too anxious to expedite
these matters and settle down to
Peaceful pursuits again. OF course
the powers must not demand an ms
~ unable 10 raise. 1t is not certain
that finally, some nation may not de-
nand territory of China in lieu of -
money indemnity. it is perfectly cer-
demand, the partition OF China viii
follow, and this VIII ineVitably cause
much dissensipn between the powers
These difficulties ana disputes would
be long in the settling and would lead
to terrible Confusion in China
Russia has 50 far n1itigated her de-
mands that there is now not mucn
danger OF Serious difficulty between her
and Japan Personally, 7 am very

ence Of CHINA, as an empire. goEerned
and all The rest of the world lots Of
trouble if the integrity of the empire
is maintained
AS far as the punishment Of ChiTese
officials goes, China has. already done
an that she could Something out Of
the ordinary had to- be demanded BIZ
the powers. for 1T takes a good deal Of
punishment to impress this people. and
this was no QTdinary offense. Ia some
cases the oficials whose punishment
was dana n5ed were more powerful thai
the goNeraupent and then, of course.
the punishment could not be enforced
Excepting these cases everything was
done as the powers demanded

better than those who. were not there

measures were demanded, but do not
think we were cruel What Won q

an for the reason that they indulge
ia SO many cruel and unusual punisn-

STRAIGHT TONGUE"
INDIAN NAME FOR THE LATE
BISHOP WHlPPLE.
Earnest Friend of the Red Man Who
for Many Long Years Stood Between
the Aborigine and the Greed of the
Heardess White-Weds at a Good
Old Age.

Bishop Henry B. Whipple of the
Protestant Episcopal church, who
died Monday at his home in Fairbaut,
Mimi, was born in Adams, n. Y, Feb.
Is, 1882. He was ordained in 1850,
and was rector of Zion church in
Rome. n. Y, and later Of the church
of Holy Communion in Chicago. He
was one of the foremost in the work
OF evangelizing the indians, and found
ed and built the Seaburr Divinity
school, Schattuck Military academy,
and st. Mary's hall at Faribault.
Bishop Whipple, who was the
senior bishop Of the Protestant Epis-
copal church in America, endeared
himself to the people of the northwest
in the early days of Minnesota. From
the time he took the episcopate ans
was consecrated first bishop of Mime.
sofa he was the champion of the in.
terests of the Indians. He became a
veritable apostle among them, and
was affectionately spoken of by them
as Straight Tongue and The Father

INSANITY PLEA
FOR GZOLGOSZ

Buffalo, n. Y, Sept. 21-Judge Lo-
rem L. Lewis and Judge Robert c. Tt
tus, counsel appointed to defend Leon
F Czolgosz, charged with the murder
of President Mckinley, began a con-
ference over the case yesterday. They
declare that they have not yet had
time to outline their defense, but eX-
pect to be ready when the case is
called on Monday next.
All efforts on the part of the attor-
neys to secure a statement from the
prisoner as to his desires in the con-
duct of the defense have signally
failed. On Irrelevant subjects the
prisoner will converse freely, his dis
course being most intelligent. The
weather. his prison fare, his treat
ment, economic questions and the
like, the prisoner will debate freely.
AS soon as the great crime is men,
toned, however, his face darkens and
his lip curls in dsdain.
whats the use of mentioning
that" he asks. Il am an anarchist.
only did my duty. l shot and killed
the president and l am prepared to
die. That's ALL
At the conference of counsel the in
sanity plea, as a measure of defense,
will be fully discussed, and, in view
of the conduct of the prisoner, that is
the only theory Of defense that is ten
able. He will be examined by several
experts in behalf of the defense.
District Attorney Penney denied
himself to all callers and busted him
self in the preparation of the case
against Czolgosz.
From what can be cleaned in the
vicinity of the district attorneys Of
flee, swift and sure will be the justice
meted out to the assassin. No lengthy
hypothetical questions, no intermin-
able quibbling over technicalities are
calculated to mark the treatment of
this case. Czolgosz will be accorded
a fair trial, but no time will be wasted.
About fifteen witnesses will be
sworn for the state. These include all
those whose testimony procured COLI
gosz' indictment by the grand jury.
The state hopes to complete the pre-
sentation of it's case in a day or day

eral for the state from 1873 to 1881.
He came TO Chicago as a lawyer and
entered the firm with his father in
1882.
After active work for years as lay
man in the Episcopal church in Chi
cago. Mr.. Edsall decided to give UP
the law for the ministry. He became
candidate for holy orders in 1886.
and a year afterward he started the
church work which afterwarG and
largely through his efforts deyeloped
into st. Peters parish in Lake View
The work was first started in the par
lor of cottage in Briar place and
grew from year to year. In 1883 Mr..
Edsall was ordained a deacon and
year later was ordained TO the priest
hood.
In 1898 DR.. Edsall was elected mis-
sionary bishop Of North Dakota. The
same year he had come within one
vote of being elected bishop of Iowa.
Since his election as bishop he has
lived with is wife and three children
at Fargo.
Bishop Edsall is a man of robust
physique and is in indefatigable
worker. He is a man of personal
means and most of his early work in
the church was carried on with little
or no help outside his own resources.
He had wide acquaintance in CHI.
cago. His successor in North Dakota
probably will be chosen at the trien.
NAL convention which will be held
next month in San Francisco.
