DISTURBANCES IN PEKIN
Looked For During Chinese New Year
Celebration

Pekin, February S.-The foreign en-
voys met this morning to consider the
edict presented by the Chinese plenipo-
tentiaries regarding the suspension of
examinations for five years and also
the punishment of officials guilty of not
having suppressed outrages upon for
eigners. They objected to the wording
of the edict. which made it seem hat
the troubles were entirely due to the
actions of native Christians. Satisfac-
tory in other respects, it was altered
to suit the views Of the ENJOYS and
was hen returned to the Chinese plen-
ipotentiaries.
1t is reliably reported that more than
10000 Mohammedans have reappeared
in Pekin during the last four weeks
with the object of creating disturbance
during the Chinese celebrations at New
Year. The Germans have accordingly
issued an order to their troops that no
one shall walk alone n no one go
unarmed. The order directs the Ger
man troops to search ALL Chinese and
never under any consideration to en-
ter Chinese private houses on invita-
ton unless in considerable numbers.
The more widely known the demands
of the foreign ENJOYS are among the
Chinese the more the belief spreads
that the court will not accept them,
| especially the demand for the punish
ment of Tung Flu Hsiang. who practi-
! cally controls the entire Chinese army,
! apart from the troops with the court,
! and who is now in h province of Nan
[ Su, with Prince Tuan, he would be able
! to hold out for an indefinite period.
The opinion is gaining ground among
the generals that possibly a spring
] campaign against the province of Shen
81 will be necessary.
No answer to the latest communica-
ton from the foreign ENJOYS is ex-
pected from the court before Tuesday
next at the earliest, but the envoy
hope the reply will be satisfactory.
There is much enthusiasm among the
Americans. soldiers and civilians, over
the promotion Of General Chaffee. Al
the foreign generals have called to ten.
der him congratulations.

THE DELEGATE FROM HAWAII
House Committee Investigates Charges
of Treason Made Against Him

Washington, February S.-Charges
against Delegate Wilcox, of Hawaii,
were heard today by house commit
tee on elections M 1. Mr.. wilcox was
present, accompanied by Representative
Robinson, Of Indiana, who appeared as
his friend and counsel. The specific
answer of Mr.. Wilcox to h charges
contained in the letters submitted.
was presented. 1t states:
That he (Wilcox) is a native Ha-
waiian; that he shared with the native
people loyalty to the former Queen
Liluokalani during her reign and was
not in sympathy with the reigning
power Immediately succeeding her
reign.
That after the annexation of Hawaii
he did not understand fully the insti-
tutions Or the feelings of the United
States, but al doubts were dispelled
when the congress gave to the people
Of Hawaii a splendid system of organic
laws.
That in common with the people.
he at all times, with genuine patriotism
supported the United States and its in
stitutions, n is now and has been a
loyal supporter of the constitution, laws
and government of the United States.
He admits that on January 81, 1893.
and on March s, 1898, he wrote the let
ters in the petition; that said letters
were Of a personal and confidential ma
ture, and sent to one whom he sup
posed was a friend and who he thought
would not betray his confidence. He
further says that said letters were
written by him under an entire miscon-
ceptiOn of the real attitude of the gov
of the United States toward
the people of the Hawaiian islands.
THAT under the laws of the United
States, at a fair and free election he
was elected as a delegate from Hawaii
and no reason exists or has existed dis
qualifying him."
Three additional letters written by
Mr.. Wilcox were submitted and he
made the same answer to them. These
letters We're written in 1899 and criti-
ciSeS the American course in the Philip
pines.
George D. Gear, the prosecutor, then
contended that the election of Wilcox
was irregular and void, as the require
ments of the United States statutes
We're not compiled with. On cross ex-
animation Mr.. Gear said he had made
speeches in Hawaii favoring the cleo
ton of a delegate, Mr.. Parker, the op-
ponent of Mr.. Wilcox and in these
speeches he had not questioned the
right of Hawaii to have a delegate.
Mr.. Gear stated that in WilcoX's cam
paign speeches he had said h would
restore Queen L~iIiuokalani. When the
witness said Wilcox had externally
damned the Americans" the delegate
muttered, lie" but was mildly re-
strained by his counsel. After MI. Gear
had presented his evidence, he made All

gate.
During the argument. Mr.. Mann in
terjected the statement that cerain
letters written by eminent public men
came quite as near treason as those
of Wilcox. referring to the Filipinos.

Denounce Reign of Late Queen.


 At the regular monthly meeting of the United Irish American societies in New York, January 29, sixty-eight organizations being present, resolu- tions were passed unanimously read ing in part as follows:
 The population of Ireland, land flowing with milk and honey and capable, according to the best authori- ties, of supporting more than 20,000,- 900 of people in ease and comfort, has been reduced from more than eight and one-half to less than four and one- half millions of people; the actual number of Irish who have died of star vation in the midst of plenty during Queen Victoria's reign is more than a million and qnarter; more than four millions of people, according to the same authority, have been compelled to en,igrate from Ireland to foreign countries; the manufacturing indus tries of the country have been steadily discouraged and as far as possible stamped out.
 "Everything which could be done to impoverish and depopulate the country-to root out the people from their native soil and drive them to seek other homes in alien lands; to break their spirit and make of them slaves and outcasts-has been done under Victoria's reign and with her | full connivance and consent.
 I've denounce the reign of Victoria as one long act of boodshed, murder, cruelty and cant, and insist that when | its history is truly written and the h. fiuence of snobbery, tiunkeyism and | toadyism is removed il will be looked back upon as one in which English wealth and power both properly passed their zenith and entered upon a rapid and permanent decline-as one in which, despite the material progress made by England in the earlier and middle part thereof, greater injustice, more cruelty, grOsser wrong, were In' ilicted upon humanity in general and upon the Irish in particular than in the reign of any other English monarch D
 For the weakness and prostrstion following grippe there IS nothing so prompt aud effective as One Minute cough cure. This preparation is high i ly endorsed as an unfaIlIng remedy for all throat and lung troubles aud its early use prevents consumption. IL was made to cure quickly. H c Hitch ] cock
