PEKIN, Feb. G.-The ministers OF

decided that the twelve Chinese oil
Gals named in the first list must ray

"Mr Patterson is one of the ablest men
that ever lived in Colorado. He is going

sTANLEYs CONDEMNATION.
Governor of Kansas BIames Sheriff
For the Disgrace to the State
in Burning of Alexander

Topeka, Jan. l6-Gov w. E. Stanley
is very indignant at the result OF the
lynching at Lsavenworth this afternoon.
He says it will result in the restoration
of the death penalty in Kansas.
Gov. Stanley condems Sheriff Ever
hardy of Leavenworth, in unmeasured
terms. He says the sheriff should be
made to make suitable retribution, if
such thing were possible.
He eaid:'
"Ths sheriff OF Leavenworth is either
despicable scoundrel or a despicable
coward. There was no reason in the
world that the negro should not have
been protected to tho last. The whole
military power Of the state would have
been devoted to that effort and the
sheriff knew it all the time.
II ordered the militia Of Lawrence and
Topeka to be ready, and they would
have been sent to the scene OF the trou-
BILE the minute the sheriff would say he
needed them. Instead Of that, however,
the sheriff was very sure that he could
guard the man. Upon receiving repeat
ed assurances from Sheriff Everhardy
that he could and would protect the
prisoner to the last, very reluctantly
countermanded the order for the troops
to 60 to Leavenworth.
1.-THE warden of the penitentiary had
no right to keep Alexander there. as he
had been convicted OF no crime. He
could do nothing but deliver him to the
sheriff whom that individual insisted that
it should be done. But the life OF tho
negro should have been preserved at all
hazards, and it is to the lasting shame
OF the great state of Kansas that such an
infamous proceeding should have been
allowed to take place within few miles
OF the capitol city.
"What makes the disgrace to the state
moro CALLING than ever was the fact that
we had ample military forces with which
the terrible tragedy could have been
averted. The sheriff is to blame and no
one else. 1 could not very we'll send the
troops there in the face of repeated as
suranses of the sheriff that they were
not needed and not wanted.
"Of course would have sent them
anyway il had known the real facts,
Notwithstanding the assurances of the
sheriff, or should have ordered War
den TomlinsoA to hold the prisoner a
short time longer. But it is done now,
and to the fair state Of Kansas belongs
the disgrace. 1t is awful simply
awful"
Governor Stanley gave utterance to
the thought that the burning OF Alexan-
der would not have taken place il the
people of Leavenworth had been per-
suaded that the negro would have been
hanged il he was proven guilty Of the
crime.

CONGRESSMAN KISSED
At by West Point Officers During
the Investigation of the Booz
hazinQ Case.

West Point, N. Y, Jan. l6-An un-
looked for incident occurred yesterday at
the close of the afternoon session OF tho
congressional committees investigation
at tho military academy. There was a
large attendance of army officers, with
their wives and daughters.
When Congressman briggs asked Cadet
Dean if it was through having a icon.
venient memory" that he could only re-
member Cadet Sheridan's name out Of all
the men he had exercised, there was
storm of Kisses, which ran around the
room. The women as we'll as tho men
took part in it and it was evident that
they considered the question as one i'm
pugning the credibility OF che witness.
Cadet George M. Ruosel was asked by
Mr.. briggs:
"Do you think it is fair play to haze
fourth class men for the purpose of max
ing them do things which are violations
OF the academic rules and for which they
are liable to bo punished by the author
tiles Of the institution ?"
"Well, Z :, not think it was unfair"
"Men, who have been three years in
this academy, say 90 ?" said Mr.. briggs.
angrily.
"Yes, 1 think the ends justify the
means" was the reply.
Cadet Fred L. Dean, of Texas, who
when testifying before the military court,
said: II hazed Booz just to make him
feel good" was then called and sworn.
Judge Smith asked: "How much TOBIAS
co sauce did you prescribe for Mr.. Booz9"
II don't remember, but when sat at
his table probably did give him some."
"Were you not the chief expone ept of
the efficacy OF this sauce in making the
gunner attend to his duties at the tableH"
II don't think l was the only one."
DO you use it now 2"
mo, sir; stopped it some months ago"
Nov. don't-you know that you only
stopped when Booz died and his death
was laid at your door ?"
His death was never laid at my door,"
The witness said that he had done $50
"wooden Willies" himself in an hour and
half, and Mr.. briggs said:
"You are the most remarkable witness
l ever listensd to-"
He handed,a list of second and third
classmen to Dean and asked him to name
those whom he had exercised.
Dean mentioned the name of Cadet
Sheridan as the only one he could re-
member.
why is it you remember Mr.. Sheri-
dan and don't remember any one else :"
asked Mr.. briggs.
II don't know, Sir; just remember
about Mr.. Sheridan" replied Dean.
"What is its IsIt a case Of conven-
lent memory ?"
"No, sir"
The answer was drowned in storm of
Misses, which began in the northeast
corner Of the room. 1t ran through the
room, which was filled with women and
officers.
The kissing was particularly strong
from the seats where score of officers
sat.
Mr.. briggs, addressing Gen. Dicks,
said:
