(By the Associated Press. J

Washington. Nov. 8.-The Cabinet meet
ing today developed the fact that there
exists an entire misapprehension con-
corning the legal proceedings which are
to take place in Chicago in the case of
Captain Oberlin NJ. Carter who was con-
victed by military court martial of en-
bezzlement and sentenced to term in
the pepitentiary at Leavenworth, Kans.
Attorney General Knox explained to the
President and Cabinet today that Cap
tain Carter was not TO be given new
trial before Judge Kohlsaat as had been
enormously reported. The Government
attached about $50 900 of the property
belonging to Captain Carter and the
question which will be tried before Judge
Kchlsaat relates only to the title to that
property.
Incidentally, of course, the question of
Captain Carters conviction by military
court will be raised, but Mr.. Knox told
the Cabinet that it was in no sense a new
trial Of Captain Carter's case before q
civil tribunal. Attorney General Knox
said that with the S150,000 which the

pears to have been the immediate cause
of the death Of Lii Hung Chang.
The diplomatic events preceding this
tragic climax have enabled Japan for a
moment to Illustrate the designs of Rus
sia A fortnight ago the Japanese Lega
tion released a reliable outline of the
terms CT the treaty aud thereupon. de-
manded that the Chinese Plenipotentia-
ries officially lay before them the text,
basing this demand upon the allegation
that japanese interests were involved in
amy change of the status of Manchuria
The Chinese Plenipotentiaries refused
to comply with the demand. Thereupon
the Japanese Government from Toxic
communicated with the southern viceroys
and induced them to use their influence
with the Empress Dowager against the
treaty In the meantime the Empress
Dowager instructed l.. Hung Chang to
communicate the treaty, after certain
modications. to the ministers of the Pow
ers. and. if they did not object, to sign
the same.
Il Hung Chang visited NJ Lessar and
explained to him the instructions. The
Russian Minister strongly objected to re-
vealing the text of the treaty to the min
listers Of the other Powers and stormy
interview ensued. Lii Hung Chang went
home in violent passion and had a hem
orrhage, which the doctors attribute to
the overexertion of a weakened system.
While these things were happening in
Pekin. the southern viceroys sent to the
Empress Dowager memorial against the
treaty She then countermanded the or
