There is a disposition on the part
of the foreign ministers to yield
somewhat in their demands for the
punishment Of Chinese provincial offi-
cials for participation in the Boxer
troubles. While 14O were listed origi-
nally for punishment, the number has
been reduced to less than 100. The
demand that eleven officials be pun
ished with death has been modified
until only four viii suffer the ex-
treme penalty. President Mckinley
and his advisers have done their ut
most to prevail upon the other Powers
to show mercy to the Chinese officials
wherever it could be done without
danger to foreign lives and property
and the effect of their work is made

the turtle raises herself just as high as

the sand Is quite hard. when the eggs are

Brunswick, Ga. March %.-For some
months goods have been mysteriously dis
appearing from the store of the Douglas
Hardware Company, and yesterday Man
ager Lee caught his porter, Joe Bazzeh,
colored, in the act of stealing some pock-

confessed to having stolen many things.
A search Of his house disclosed the fact
that he had carried away a small hard
ware store. Among the things found were
large range, with cooking utensils, a
heater, many knives, rakes, hoes, and
numerous other articles.
Within two hours after being arrested,
the man and his accomplice were tried
in the City Court, found guilty and sem
fenced to eleven months on the county
changing, and all before / o'clock. This
is the quickest trial on record in this

The efforts of the trust company in en-

deceased in other states than Connecticut
have been as unavailing as those at
Black Rock. Nothing. except the man
sion, deposit of $4,000 in the First Ma
tional Bank, which Mrs. Helen Hall has
attached, and the knowledge that Mr..
Gilman was connected with the tea bust
ness has come to light and even this lat
ter is a matter of general knowledge,
