EIGHTY HEADS OFF
THIS is THE IMPERIAL EDlcT OF
CHINESE COURT.
FOR ACTIVITY AS BOXERS
Sentence Deals Exclusively With Man.
darins of All Ciasses-Fifty-six
Have Already Suffered the Elk
treme Penalty of the LaW-Most
lllustrious CuIprits Not Included.

Tacoma, Wash, Oct 22-Oriental
Iadvices state that governors, judges
and high military officers are included
among eighty high officials who are
ordered beheaded or banished by an
imperial Chinese edict for participant
ing in the boxer movements of last
year
This edict deals exclusively with
mandarins of all classes connected
with the boxers. It recites that fifty
six mandarins have already suffered
the extreme penalty of the law for
their misdeeds. The emperor's brother
has presented fresh list of manda-
rims deserving punishment.
The edict directs that every person
named on the list shall be punished,
many being sentenced to death and
others to lifelong Punishment beyond
the frontiers of China The list is a
startling one from Chinese stand
point, but Shanghai papers say it fails,
as usual, to include the most illustri-
Gus culprits. In consequence of the
earnest efforts of Sir Ernest Satow,
British minister at Pekin, not less
than thirty-five are ordered punished
for completely in the Chuchow mas
sacre of last year.
Governor Liu Shu Tang of Pekin
has been degraded and banished to
his native place. Yung Chuan, pro-
vincial Judge and treasurer, is degrad-
ed and banished to SEE Chuan. Gov
ernOr Poa Tsulin of Chuchow is de-
graded and sent to perpetual Danish
ment in KashgariaX. Yu, brigadier
general of Chuchow, was sentenced to
perpetual Punishment, but evaded SEN
tence by dying. Chou Chih-te, COM
mander of local troops at Chuchow
when the massacre occurred, was exc
cuted there. Numerous other local
officials were degraded. Fourteen of
the actual murderers were executed,
nine accomplices were banished for
life and others imprisoned.
Ii Hung Chang has purchased from
a German firm at Tientsin 100000
rounds of Mauser ammunition cap
tured by allies at Tientsin last year.
Scores of pirates and robbers are
being captured at Canton through in
formers and executed.

Admiral Bunce's death, while sud

his family had been warned to expect
the worst. Last May cancer of the

"AMERICAN DANGER"
OUR EXPORTS ALARM THEM
Secretary of Organization Recommends
the Formation of a Central Euro
pean Customs Union Against
United States-Other Speakers
Warn Against This.

Berlin, Oct. 22-The Bund der In
here yesterday at which was discussed
the American danger" and the new
German tariff. The general secretary
ofthe bund, DR.. Wonderland, described
the American danger as extremely
grave and said Germany's manufac-
turers were fully conscious of this
danger. He quoted figures showing
the extraordinary growth of exports
from the United States to Germany
and the decline in the movement of
goods in the opposite direction, and
complained that the average of duties
imposed by the United States is so
per cent, while in Germany it is only
TO- A further hardship, he said, is
the requiring of the declaration of in
voices before a consul, this giving the
Americans possession of business Sc
crets of the German manufa cturers.
He asserted that the United States
government maintained detectives lin
Germany for the purpose of discoV-
ering trade secrets and undervalua-
y
Saxony which had been ruined
Sreby. Referring to President
RooseVelt's reported wish to come to
terms with Germany, the speaker
said:
"Germany's best policy will be to
wait for the Americans to come to us
and then demand the removal of the
I'M n
fore we begin fixed treaty. Ger
many should refuse to act until the
United States reduces duties below
20 per cent" Discussing the remedies
at Germany's disposal, DR.. Wendlandt
said the chief one was the tariff, an
increase of which absolutely must be
applied. This" he declared, would
bring America to her senses and coun-
teract the boundless despotism of the
trusts"
He recommended the formation of a
central European customs union
ting the great difficulties in the way
Of this declared if is should prove i'm
possible then common agreement
should be made to treat American
goods differently from those of other
countries. Other speakers warned
against a tariff war with the United
States, since that country can easily
get from other countries what it now
IMPORTS from Germany, while Ger
many would be unable to DO the same.
The bund adopted resolutions favor
lg the passage %of tariff bin, after
dropping the double system of duties
on grain in order that Germany may
have new duties for the securing of
advantageous trade relations with the
commended that plan for European

STURGEON BAY WATER ROW.
Elements Divided Though Neither
Likes Franchise.

Attorney General Hicks yesterday
advised two jealous village factions to
go home, forget their differences and
unite IN their common interest. Y. ".
Dreutzer, district attorney Of Door
county, filed an application to bring
suit in the name of the state to have
the waterworks franchise of Sturgeon
Bay, held by o. w. Wheeler Of James
vile, annulled. 1t is peculiar case.
It appears that the people asking the
suit are the ones that want the fran
chise to stand but would bring suit
to forestall the other element whose
motives distrusted. II. o. Fairchild Of
Green Bay, representing this latter ell
ement, made the objection that the
parties asking the suit would simply
make a farce of it. The attorney gen.
eral gave the advice stated and will
himself conduct the suit.

consultation it was decided to remove
the patient to the home of President
Milburn. This was done. Arrived at
the Milburn residence, all persons out
side the medical attendants, nurses
and the officials Immediately concerned
were excluded and the task of prob
ing for the bullet which had lodged in
the abdomen, was begun by Dr. Ros-
well Parke.
When the news of the crime was
telephoned to the home of President
NTilburn, where Mrs. Mckinley was
resting, immediate steps were taken to
spare her the shock of a premature
statement of the occurrence before the
true condition of the president should
be ascertained. Guards were sta
toned, and no one was permitted to
approach the house. When it was de-
cided to remove the president from the
exposition hospital to the Milburn resi-
dence the news was broken to Mrs.
Mckinley as gently as might be, by the
members of the Milburn family. She
bore the shock remarkably well and
displayed the utmost fortitude.

Associated Press was admitted to the

sorrow and indignation abroad, not
only in the United States, but in En-

fact, all over the world Vice Presi-

in Vermont and started west at once
for the bedside of the president. All
the public men in the country have
telegraphed coincidence or expressed
their horror of the deed and their
sympathy for the victim of the at
tempted ASA ssinatiOn. -.
In all the cities of the country great
crowds gathered in front of the tele-
graph and newspaper offices and
watched with bated breath for the
tidings that flashed out from the room
where the nations executive lay sOrely
wounded, and never before was the
demand for special telegrams greater.
All the country and all the world want

no danger first, and then that the mis-
creant who shot him was safely held
and identified.
