MRS. NATION MUCH ALARMED

 Spirited Away by Ofiicers-The Man Is White and is Accused of Abusing " Young GirI-The Mob Infuriated an"
Still Determined.

Topeka, Kan, Feb. 20.-The vigilance of officers was all that saved 'Slick Slater, a white man, twenty-five years of age, from lynching by an inturlateo mob tonight. The mob entered the Jail and looked all through 1t for thelr would-be victim. He will yet be lynch- ed if he can be found.
 Slater assaulted seventeen-year-old Lottie Gerberic Monday evening ana was captured by Topeka officers the next day in Carbondale, twenty miles from here. The officers kept. the fact of the capture quiet and placed Slater in Jail here. A deputy drove to Hoy with Slater, and entered north bound Rock Island train with him when It be- came known that he was to be lynched.
 It is thought now that the man IS now in jail at Atchison. The people are firmly determined to lynch Slater when he is brought back for trial.
 The county jail which the lynching party visited in search of Slater is the same one Mrs. Nation is confined in. Mrs. Nation was much alarmed at the course of events.

MEETING 0F1HE BAR ASSOCIATION
Not Called to Take Action on Judgeship
 Nominations.

A meeting of the Bar association Of New Haven county has been called to be held Saturday afternoon for the pur- pose of considering bills now pending before the general assembly in which the lawyers of New Haven county as such are especially interested. The ecting has been called by Attorney John K. Beach, vice president of the association, who said last night that lie called it at the request of Court Stenog- rapher Cogswell
 The bill concerning which MT, Cogs- well desired the Bar association to take action is the one now before the legis- lature providing that each judge of the superior court shall have his own stem ographer whom he shall appoint, and that the stenographers will travel about with the judges, the salary of the posi- tion to be $2,O00. This bill is opposed by some of the lawyers of New Haven on the ground that the bill, if passed, would make a great expense to the state, and on the ground that the records could not be kept or copied here so conven- iently as they now are. After receiving the request from MT. CogsWell, MT. Beach consulted with some of the law yers of New Haven. and, finding that there was apparent general desire to take action on the proposed stenogra- phers' bill and on the bill to reduce the costs in appeals to the supreme court, he called the meeting, the president of the Bar association, John w. Alling being absent from the city.
 At the meeting of the committee on judicial nominations held in Hartford Tuesday afternoon, at which the reso- lution for the election of judges of the court of common pleas of New Haven county was discussed, the impression was given out from the remarks of ex- Judge Hobart l.. Hotchkiss that New Haven County Bar meeting would be called for Saturday to take action on the nominations of Judge Cable and Judge Hubbard for judges of the court of common pleas, and 1t is learned or 1 reliable authority that this was one req son that led the committee to postpone the hearing until next Tuesday, after the Bar meeting.
 ! MT. Beach said last night that the Bar meeting had not been called fol that purpose, but for the purpose o1 taking action in relation to the two bills referred to above.
 A prominent member of the Bar asso- citation said last night that there was no thought of taking any action on the judegship nominations before the cal for the meeting was issued. He sait that no meeting would have been called for that purpose. He said that he dit not think that the Bar association O New Haven county would care to eau l GUS on the matter. a

BoED BURGLARY IN BRIDGEPORT.
SI,5OO Worth of Jewelry and Ss0 in
 Money Taken.

Bridgeport, Conn, Feb. 2O.-A daring burglary was committed at the resi- dence of Mrs. Rebecca E. Bassick, wlo- ow of the late Edmund Bassick, to- night, while the family were at supper and the thieves succeeded in getting away with $SO in money and some $l,50o worth of jewelry. An entrance to the house was gained through a second story window, the men climbing vine trellace over the front porch. No clue was left to the identity of the burglars except for the print of pointed-toed boot in the soft earth in front Of the house. It is thought that the men con- cerned are of the class known as first class porch men," or skilled profession al house breakers, and Superintendent Birmingham of the local police states that he believes they may have been pals of Harry Johnson, who has recent ly received a o-year-sentence for similar work.

 T was in medical charge in Wash ington after the murder of Lincoln and had unequalled opportunities for ob- servation.

CHINA YIELDS TO POWERS
COURT CONSENTS TO IMPLICIT PUN-
 ISHMENTS DEMANDED.
Ministers Grant . Petition Changing the Sentence of Two of the Condemned from Decapitation to Strangulation- prtnce Tuan. Duke Ian and Gene Ial Hsiang, 1t is Said, Will Escape Death Inv Life ImprisOnment.

London. Feb. 21.-Dr. Morrison, Wir- ing to the Times from Pekin yesterday, says: "The court has yielded and con sented to the infiictiGn of the punish ments demanded, petitioning, however, that the sentences on Chao Su Chiao and Ying Men may be strangulation in- stead of decapitation. To this the for eign envoys have agreed. The question, therefore. is virtually settled, and a raison d'etre for the Tai Yuen Flu expe- dition.'
 Commenting upon the latest advices from Pekin, the Times says: There cannot be any reasonable doubt that the sudden surrender of the Chinese court was due to fears inspired by Count von Waldersee's order. The les son will not be lost on the allies should they resort to their traditional tactics of evasion and delay.
 ''At the same time the powers are to be congratulated that it is not necessa- ry to carry their threats into execu- tion.''
 London, Feb. 21.-"At their latest meeting" says the Morning Mail cor respondent at Pekin, "the foreign en- voys agreed to compromise. They propose to permit the imperial court to commute the sentences of decapitation in the case of Prince Tuan, Duke Ian and General Tung Flu Hsiang to life Imprisonment, and will agree to the following punishments:
 Prince Chwang to be strangled, Yu Hsien to be decapitated, Chao Shu Chiao and Yang Yien to be permit ted to strangle themselves, and Chi Hsin and Hsu Cheng Yu to be beheaded in Pekin If the court advances no new obstacles the negotiations on the first point of the demands of the powers may be considered closed"

FruitIess Effort of Tennessee Mob to
 Get . Confession.

Dyersburg, Tenn, Feb. 20.--A mob took Beebe Montgomery from the jail at Deyersburg last night and swung him up to the limb of the famous Mike Lynching Tree" five times, letting him down each time to make him confess his complicity in the assault with Fred King upon Miss Alice Arnold. King was lynched recently. The negro de- nied his guilt. The mob then carried him back to the jail more dead than alive, deciding not to lynch Montgomery until the third guilty negro implicated by King in his confession is found. In his confession King said that they had slated five of the best known women of Dyersburg for assault. A number of negroes were whipped out of Dyers- burg last night.
