MORE CHINESE WILES
Government Seeking to Evade Full
Demands for Punishment
of Boxers.

Pekin, Feb. 16-A message was de-
livered to the foreign ministers before
the meeting this morning from the
Chinese peace commissioners which
contained the wording of an edict dat
ed yesterday, practically reiterating
the recent dispatches of the Associated
Press, sentencing Prince Chung to
commit suicide and Yuh Hsien, former
governor of the province of Shan ST,
to be executed, both in the presence of
a high government official in order to
satisfy the powers. Chi Shiu and Hin
Chen Yu will have their cases investi-
gated by Ii Hung Chang and Prince
Ching, whose report the emperor will
take before the execution is pro-
nounced. General Tung Flu Slang is
deprived of his rank and will receive
further punishment afterwards. Yang
Man and Chao Su Khan are impris-
oned. The sentence of death is sus-
pended on those culprits who are al
ready dead, but all their honors are
cancelled, also the post humous honors

OvERSTEp THE Law
Women Break Into Depot and
Destroy Quantity Of
Liquor.

COTS. Kans.. Feb. l5- Fifteen
masked women broke into the Missouri
Pao fc freight depot here tonight and
destroyed Is jugs of whiskey and four
kegs of beer.
Breaking into the freight depot is q
peniteniary offense and the Missouri
Pacific officials announce that de-
tectives will be brought here to learn
the identity of the women concerned
in the affair. The destruction of the
liquor, it is contended, was unlawful,
as the depot is not a saloon and. the
liquor came from another state.
It is believed that an example will
be made of the raiders, if possible, to
prevent raids on depots in a1bbar parts
of the state. v"
Women raided all the saloons here
Wednesday and a determined fight
against the saloons has been kept uI
since then.

KINGS CHAMPION APPEARS AT
CORONATION.
DEFENDS RIGHT TO REIGN
Great Britain Preparing to Launch
Number Of New Fight
ing Vessels.

London Feb. leone of the most
interesting features Of King Edwards
coronation will be the probable ap-
pearance of the kings champion, who,
in the presence of the assemblage,
rides forth, throws down his gauntlet
and challenges all to dispute with
him by personal conflict the right Of
King Edward to reign. The present
kings champion is a Woodworking
young farmer who glories in the name
Of Dymonte. He lives in Lincoln
shire, is of a moderate, retiring nature
and is much exercised over the pros
pect of the greatness which is likely
to be thrust upon him. Neither in
his figure, which is small, nor in his
appearance, which is that of the typ
ical Lincolnshire farmer, is he cut out
for such martial duty. Since the
times Of the Norman kings the Dy-
monies have been champions. Several
rulers, notably Queen Victoria, held
their coronation without the appear
ance of the inevitable Dymonte, but it
is thought that King Edward is likely
to revive the duty so long devolved
upon the ancient family.

FREE FOR ALL.

Heads Smashed and Guns Drawn at
Beloit.
Beloit, Kas., Feb. 6 -There was a
free for all fight here this afternoon
resulting from the feeling arising over
the ''joints." The temperance men
and women insisted on making inspec-
tion of the places to see if their orders
regarding closing had been observed.
The mayor allowed three or four to
enter a saloon at a time and sent an
officer to see that no damage was
done.
The investigation committee was
followed by large crowd. Soon an
alarm of fire was sounded and a hose
cart dashed up and commenced throw
ing water on the crowd. Some men
attempted to cut the hose but were
prevented by a display of r%evolvers.
After several had been more or less
hurt some arrests were made and quiet
was restored.

ton of peace was also the subject of
strong discussion. The subjects of
regulating loans and foreign relations
developed no opposition. No vote was
taken and further discussion will be
held Monday.
One Of the delegates in the course
of an interview said that the conven-
ton would v agree to allow the
United States to establish and main
tain naval stations, as the people look
upon this concession as unpatriotic
and a practical giving up of their in
dependence. The only way the United
States can obtain this right, the dele
gate said, would be by insisting upon
the concession, the responsibility for
making which the convention does not
want to take.

Havana, Feb. 16-The Cuban con-

session lasting several hours this after
noon considering the question of the
future relations between the United
States and the republic of Cuba.
The commission which met Cover
nor General Wood at Batanabo offered
no formal report, but asked that the
matter be considered in committee of
the whole. A majority Of the dele
gates opposed the granting to the
United States of the right to maintain
naval stations in Cuba and a large
number favored leaving the relations
between the United States and Cuba
for the future republic to settle.

PEACE STILL
FAR DISTANT
ENGLISH WAR OFFICE NOT
ENTHUSIASTIC.
PIN FAITH TO KITCHENER
Believe He Will Eventually Sue
coed in Overcoming Boer
Resistance.

London, Feb. 16-The hopes that
the turning point of the war in South
Africa is within sight now permeat-
ing the editorials and inspiring the
markets are probably doomed to disap-
polntment. The pacifcation of the
Beers, if accomplished, will be a slow
matter which decisive engagements
can affect but little.
The war office expects from General
Kitchener no stroke such as settled
forever the future of the Soudan.
The heads Of Great Britain's war
department. scarcely know more than
the public, except that the stern
laconic commander of the troops in
South Africa is busily engaged in
systematizing his huge force for an
extended campaign. In him they trust
implicitly and no amount Of taciturn-
ity makes their faith waver. though
they read with regret articles leading
the public to believe that the Beers
are likely to soon be snuffed out by one
or several engagements.
During the months General Kitch-
ener has had the command in South
Africa he has been applying his ener-
gies to prepare for events six months
hence, rather than to dealing with the
emergencies Of the present. The Sec
rotary of state for war, William st.
John Broderick, and his fellow cabinet
ministers believe the same resistless
progress which comes only by the per-
lection of every minor detail OF the
machinery will eventually reward
Kitchener's patience, as it did in the
Soudan. But III private conversation
they frankly confess it is utterly i'm
possible to speculate on the time
which must elapse before the end is
achieved and it is quite wrong to at
tribute undue Importance to isolated
British victories. Even the capture
of DeWet they now think would only
in a small degree hasten the pacifica-
ton of the extended territory which is
in such a hostile condition. When
the republics become in fact instead of
in name colonies of Great Britain
Kitchener will be the man who will
get the credit and upon whom rewards
will be heaped.
The chancellor of the e%xchequer, Sir
M. Hicks-Beach, is taking measures

GROSS MISREPRESENTATION
Slanderous Letter Written by Banker at
Manila.

Manila, Feb. 16-The cashier of the
Hong Kong bank at Manila, A. Ross,
wrote a letter, which was published
in the South Australian Register, c
cusing the United States Philippine
commissioners Of being short-sighted,
ignorant and incapable, saying the
government here is much detested, as
sorting that a crisis exists and that the
banks and British merchants maintain
a hostile attitude toward the govern
ment. Ross also said the English
club here considered General Mac
Arthur. Judge Taft and Rear Admiral
Remey unfit persons for English gen.
tlemen to meet socially.
The Republication of the letter here
caused a senation. The manager of
the bank and influential Enligshmen
here repudiate the letter and %deprecate
the whole affair.

Beers Will WIN AT LAST

London, Feb. 15-The Pail Mall
Magazine will publish February 18 an
interview with Kruger in part as fol-
lows:
evil no one arbitrate? Will no one
give US a chance Of defending our
selves? We may have done wrongly
we have our faults and our weak
nesses. We declared war, but our
hands we're forced and we can prove
it. Get someone to judge between
England and ourselves
"But the Lord will help us in the
end. We shall win. I do not know
bow or when, but we shall at last"
Kruger says the Transvaal offered
more reforms in one week than an
older country would make in 40 years,
giving in, in all points, almost to the
utmost, but the uttermost was seized
upon as a stumbling block.
Referring to his reception in Europe
which has bitterly disappointed him,
Kruger said:
II care nothing for flowers; moth
ing, nothing. The people who send
them arc kind and I am grateful, but
l care nothing for them. What l want
is a fair hearing. If they only give
us a fair hearing and justice, I ask fol
justice. We are a little folk. but we
have made great progress
When asked why he came to Europe
he answered the interviewer: 81

Regarding Mrs. Kruger he said: 81

Preacher Leads Crowd on Saloon Smash
ing Expedition.
Arkansas City, Kans., Feb. 10
Seventy men, led by the minister of
this city, crossed the Arkansas river
today and demolished the "Last
Chance" saloon. All the saloons here
had been closed for several days, but
the "Last Chance" being outside the
city limits, the proprietor continued
to do a fiourishing business. When
the crowd swooped down on the place
today the bartender was asleep. He
was backed into a corner at a revolv-
er's point and witnessed the complete
distinctions Of the fixtures and stock.

the lateness of the hour at which the
translation was made the ministers
did not consider the matter this morn

they scarcely consider this repetition
Of the edict a proper answer to their

DISCUSSING KAIsER's ATTI-
tube TOWARD ENGLAND.
NOT SHARED BY PEOPLE
Nation Retains Its Feeling of I'm
friendliness to Everything
That Is English.

Dcillu, leu. Io-LlIpoIOI W1A4Ad1u .
friendly conduct toward Great Britain
recently and the motives which induce
it still form the favorite topic for con
versation here. 1t was because of
this that mutual interest was taken
in Germany at the opening of the
British parliament. The speech from
the throne and the debate on the ad-
dress in reply to it we're thoroughly
disappointing because of the absence
of any reference to closer Anglo-Ger-
man relations.
Thomas Gibson Bowles' interpella-
ton anent the alleged German seizure
of a portion of Belgian Congo was
seized on by the press today as proof
that the British peoples hostile and
meddlesome feelings towards Ger
many remained unchanged. The
Tageblatte ironically says: "The har-
mony between England and Germany
is evidently largely overestimated be-
cause Mr.. Bowles' queries were die
tated by nothing but i'll, will and
spite"
The Lokal Anzeigeir says: Hardly
has parliament opened when the &C.
customed spiteful anti German hatred
begins"
The emperor's pro-British senti-
ments and actions are still ~unceasing-
~ condemned.
The Dresdener Nachrichten, conser-
~vative, says: "Since Prince Bis
marck's fall the relations between the
nation and the emperor were eve
worse"
The semi-oficial press since his ma
jesty's return has been doing every
thing to counterfeit this prevailing
anti British sentiment, but rather I'M
skilfully and unsuccessfully. It is
noteworthy that the strongest opposi-
tion to Emperor William in this con
ncetion comes from the conservatives,
which party usually claims to regard
the monarchy as a monopoly.
The winter trip which General
Werder is to undertake to Russia has
been misinterpreted He is not
undertaking any diplomatic mission, as
interpreted here and as understood.
He simply goes to Russia as the guest
of several Russian friends at ST.
Petersburg. However, it is not Off
cially denied that Russia, including
the GEAR, is suspicious of Emperor
Williams Great Britain doings.
The Russian ambassador here during
several conferences with the foreign
Office officials was assured that his ma
jesty's doings were simply due to re-
spect and strong family feelings.
There is no doubt that the German
nation is heartily tired Of the China
war. This is shown not only by the
attitude of the press, but by the utter
ances in the reichstag and Prusslan
diet. It is true the China expenses
for 1900, amounting to 153, OOO, OOC
marks, were finally voted, but the op'
posing socialist and freissinige crit.
cisms were heard by the conservatives
and c~entralists almost without reply,
except by the ministers.
Baron Won Richthof, minister Of
foreign affairs, incidentally remarked
on this subject that the necessity Of
furnishing higher and more effective
protection to the Chinese missionaries
had been impressed upon Dr.. Mumn
Won Schwartzenstein, the German min
lister.
