DETAILS OF EXECUTION,

PEklN, Feb. ga crowd OF fully

The members OF the various legations

The condemned men met death sto-

Komura, Cologan and De Glers re-
spectively British, Japanese. Spanish
and Russian ministers. Others believe
that China has not been sufficiently
punished and that men should be
executed in every city. town and viii
lage where foreigners were injured.
1t is safe to say that little more blood
shed will be demanded. Another inn
portant point that was brought up at
the meeting was that OF the legation
quarters. Mr.. Rockhill impressed the
minister by his remarks regarding the
protest Of Sir Robert Hari(chief Of the
Chinese imperial maritime customs)
against. the seizure OF his property TO
increase the area for legations, saying
that the services rendered the powers

an exception should certainly be made

EUROPEAN TRADE COALITION.
May BE Formed Against America on
Account OF Steel Trust and
Sugar War.

NEW YORK. Feb. 27.--Of the forma-
tion OF the Morgan-Carnegie steel ccm-
bination in the United States, the
London correspondent Of the Tribune
says:
]. P. Morgan is 50 well known In
London that the usual structures in the
English press upon the greed Of Amer
ican millionaires and the tendencies Of
protection are dispensed with There
are so many trusts and companies in
the United Kingdom that the general
effect OF them has been TO bring about
economies Of various kinds and put an
end to cutthroat competition, but these
operations are Insignificant in compar-
ison with Mr.. Morgans.
Customers have not suffered In Eng
land from the trusts nor have the
workmen ordinarily employed. Middle
men and purchasing and distributing
agents have been the chief losers and
many branches Of business have been
rendered most improbable.
Some croakeIS are predictinglas a re-
suit Of the formation OF the steel trust
and the sugar tariff war with Russia.
that a European trade coalition will
be formed against America. England
cannot take part in any coalition Of
the kind without abandoning her free
trade policy.

NATIVE APPOINTED GOVERNOR.

NATIVE APPOINTED GOVERNOR.
CUIGuINTO, Province OF Bulacan,
P. l.. Feb. 27.-Jose Serapio. an uncle
Of Aguinaldo and formerly am insurgent
colonel, has been appointed governor Of
Bulacan province. There were several
candidates, including two army officers.
but the United States commission was
unanimously in favor Of Serapio who
surrendered during General Lawtons
progress northward and who has since
been such a consistent friend Of the
United States that Aguinaldo published
an order degrading his uncle.
There were considerable protests
against Serapios appointment, chiefly
from A delegation which represented
the interests Of the friars. The COM
mission announced that ii had investi-
gated the allegations made against
Serapio and found them TO be untrue.
Captain Greenough, of the Fory-frst
regiment, was appointed treasurer, and
Lieutenant Wells, OF the Thirty-sec-
ond regiment was appointed supervisor.
The other officials appointed were ma
tives. All the appointments practically
were made on General Grants recon-
mendations
Although by reputation Bulacan is
not the easiest province to govern, all
the local leaders and most Of the in
habitants are now friendly to the
United States. The question of the Sc
lection OF capital for the province
was submitted to the vote of the dele
cations. Maloios. the former seat Of
the insurgent congress, is the best town,
but Bulacan has always been the seat
Of the government and was easily first.

The ballot was the first free voting
in the Philippines excepting at the
town elections held under military cr.
ders. The delegates enjoyed it i'm
mensely. Judge Taft. in admonishing
the delegates, said that since they had
the reputation Of being gamesters, they
must abide by the result and show
their capability of abiding by the suf-
frage.
During the course of his speech an
nouncing the appointments, Judge Taft
said nowhere had military comman-
der shown such benevolent considera-
ton for the interests of the people as
had General Grant The appointment
Of a native governor indicated the COM
missions confidence in Tagalogs.

NEW YORK, Feb. 27.-Rumors are
current in London, says the Tribune
correspondent, that Lord Salisbury win
retire at the close Of tn. session Of par
liament and that the Duke Of Devon
shire will not take his place. This
would leave the field open for Mr.. Bal
four with a possibility thai ne would
be raised to the peerage and that Mr..
Chamberlain would lead the commons.
This is the current gossip, but II is
obviously premature. The Liberals
would probably welcome this result as
it would restore their fighting form and
divide the ministerialistic forces. There
is little probability that any anomalous
arrangement of this sort will be made.
