Tried.

In the police court this morning the
city authorities backed out and took a
new start in the case of Sophia James,
q woman Of the tenderloin who is be-
ing prosecuted for carrying on the illicit
business in which many women are en-
gagged in the Galena street quarter.
Miss James was arrested night be-
fore last on q warrant charging her
with being an inmate Of a prescribed
house. Yesterday morning in the police
court she asked till this morning to
plead, and the request was granted, as
is customary. She was represented in
the case by Attorney J. M. Hinkle, who
announced that a demurrer would be i'll
terposed to the complaint after his client
should plead.
Last night the woman was again ar
rested on a warrant CHI Y ging her with
the same offense as before. Yesterday
she had secured her liberty on a bond
and had returned to her residence at Sc
East Galena street.
In the police court this morning when
she was called for arraignment Lawyer
Hinkle demurred to both complaints
against her. The demurrers were argued
and Judge Boyle dismissed both cases
against the woman.
Fifteen minutes after the discharge of
Miss James she was re-arrested on two
new complaints. This time the charges
against her were that she has MAIN
tanned a nuisance at the house where she
lives. In the new cases she asked.
through her counsel, for "a hours to
plead, and the time was granted her.
These cases will come up for arraign-
ment before Judge Boyle tomorrow
morning.

A NEW HOMESTEAD PLAN.
Preparations Made for the Opening
of the Oklahoma Reservations.

While it is not expected that the Secre-
tary of the Interior will be ready to
make any official announcement of the
plans for the opening of the kiowa and
Comanche reservations before he starts
West with the President. it is understood
that the scheme for settlement is prac-
ticaiiy completed.
AS now arranged, the department off,
cials think the plan will do away en-
tirely with all the disagreeable features
which have in the past accompanied the
openings of public reservations. The as
sumption of homesteads by persons not
entitled to hold them, and the double and
sometimes sextupIe entry, and conse-
quent contests for ownership, it is ex-
pected. will be entirely avoided.
The chief feature of the method pro-
posed is a drawing, somewhat as in a
lottery. All those who desire TO hold
lands will be required first to make the
proper affidavits of their right to hold
homesteads After the applicant is regis
tered in the books of the Land Office he
will be allowed to draw ticket from
machine, which will contain the number
of section of land. This number indi-
Gates the place he will occupy when the
allotment of the lands commences The

to have this first drawing begin about
June I5 and at least before July l.
Upon the date set for the beginning OF
the registry the reservation will be
thrown open to all prospective settlers.
and they will be allowed the utmost free
dom in roaming over the reservation in
order TO enable them TO obtain an idea
of the quality of the land in the different
sections, to aid them when the time al
lowed for selection arrives II present
expectations are realized, this will he
about August l. At that time the man who
has drawn No. l will be allowed to make
his choice of location, and other settlers
will follow in order. The Land Office is
expected to know about how many Ioca-
tions can be made in a day and it will
arrange to handle them easily
The date to be set by the President's
proclamation is said to depend upon the
work now being done by surveyors on the
reservation. who are plotting counties

Our Confidence In China.

1t was stated in press despatch
| yesterday that Ii Hung Chang and
| Prince Ching had offered the most
solemn assurances that order had now
been restored in the Empire, that the
| Boxer movement is dead, and that the
Chinese Government has complete con-
| troll Of the population. That being the
case, the Chinese ENJOYS urged that
| the foreign troops be withdrawn. guar
anteeing complete protection to all for
eigners afterward. The same story con-
| tanned The statement that the proposed
evacuation by the French troops next
| month was 4 result of these assur-
ances.
As we understand it the Administra-
ton is heartily in favor Of accepting the
Chinese premises, and Mr.. Rockhill.
our Commissioner. is under instruc-
tions to back the proposition to rid the
country OF the allied forces. There can
be no doubt that IT is pleasant to be
able to place confidence in late ad-
versary. II is also the part of wisdom
not to be too sure or too precipitate
about it. We ought 10 remember. for
instance, that when the foreign troops
leave they will leave the control Of
Chinese affairs in the hands OF the EN-
press Dowager, Prince Tuan. and Gen
eraI Tune Flu Sian, the same people
who ordered the destruction of tn, ie-
cations, the massacre of the Ministers
and other Of their inmates, and the hor-
rible fortunes and butchery of Amer
lean and other women and children at
Paotingfu.
When these atrocities We're planned
and executed, or attempted to be, China
was al peace with the nations whose
representative the Chinese Govern
mept tried 10 murder. Human history
does not afford another such instance
of hellish official treachery Is it well |
for us to trust the miscreants who |
would have boiled the CoEger family |
alive If they could, TO entertain, re- |
spect, and protect future American |
families in China? Perhaps the ques- |

country, since we have elected 10 get |

esting account of a public auction of
Chinese girl slaves in Chinatown, san
Francisco, which, as alleged. was held
with the knowledge of the local author
tiles, who did not interfere. and was at
tended by many white people out of
idle curiosity. Such an open outrage
upon American decency not to mention
the impudent violation OF the Constitu-
ton and laws of the country involved
in the offence. could scarcely escape the
attention of the Federal authorities,
and we are glad to see that it has not.
A recent despatch from San Fran
cisco informs us that, under instruc
tons from Washington, the United
States Marshal and posse raided the
Chinese quarter of the city and cap
tured thirty-four girls. Sixteen of these
produced certificates and were released,
the remaining eighteen being held for
examination. If il can be proved that
these and unfortunate females like
them are in the country as chattels,
they can be deported: but proof, of
course. is difficult, and it is improbable
that the evil can be stamped out at
once. Local officials appear to have
grown Indifferent and callous to the
crime against our civilization which
this hide0us system of Chinese girl
slavery represents They incline to take
the position that a Chinaman is an alto

to civilize him even with a club are

PARDON FOR WoLFsoN.
Soldier1y Conduct in the Phil; 1piucs
Secures Executive CIsm-ncy.

President Mckinley yesterday issued an
! unconditional pardon in favor of Joseph
! y. Wolfson, of New Orleans. Wo!fson
was formerly a lawyer in that city, but
I has for the last two years served as an
/ enlisted man in the Twelfth United
! States Infantry in the Philippines. For
! twelve years subsequent TO 1884 he was a
/ depositor in the Union National Bank Of
I New Orleans. In 1886 the bank failed and
! the cashier committed suicide. Wolfson
| and a bookkeeper in the bank named
Leefe were arrested and charged with
completely in the~embezzlement of $4,000.
Leefe gave evidence for the State, de-
claring that he had falslfied the books
TO shield Wolfson, who overdrew his ac-
count to the amount of $4,000. The
United States District Court sentenced
both men to eight years in prison. Wolf
son took an appeal to the United States
Circuit Court of Appeals and the sentence
was affirmed, although the Judges were
divided in opinion. While the appeal was
pending Wolfson continued the practice
of law until July II, 1898, when he was
permitted to enlist in the Third Missis-
sippi Volunteers His attorneys petit
toned the United States Supreme Court
for writ of certiorari, but the petition
was denied.
Meanwhile Wolfson had secured per-
mission from the Attorney General and
the Secretary of War to enlist in the
Regular Army. and he was assigned on
February 10, 1889. to the Twelfth Infantry
and sent to the Philippines. He was sent
home on sick leave at about the time the
Supreme Court denied the petition for a
writ of certiorari and he has since been
engaged in an effort to secure a pardon
from the President. Several officers
under whom he served testified to his Elk
ceptional service in the Philippines. His
company commander wrote:
He has done all that a good soldier
could do. constantly seeking all and
every danger, privation, and hardship
which the campaign in the Philippines
made possible. / can cordially testify to
his honest, upright, and soldierly char
acter."
Attorney General Griggs reported adj
yersely on WolfSon's application for par
don His successor, Mr.. Knox, took up
the case two weeks ago, however and
made favorable report on the soldiers
petition.
Woifson says that his sick leave will
not expire until May 10. but he proposes
to leave Immediately and rejoin his regl-
ment in the Philippines.

that England had the sense to provide

TO RETIRE WITH HIGHER RANK.
Precedent Established in the Case
of Colonel Robert

1t was officially stated at the War De-
partment yesterday afternoon that the
President win accept the resignation Of
Gen. John NJ. Wilson. Chief of Engineers
of the Army. to take effect April 80, and
viii then appoint Col. Henry NJ. Robert,
of the Engineer Corps, to be Chief Of En-
glneers. with the rank of brigadier gen
eral. Colonel Robert will then serve two
days and retire on account of age May ?
and be followed by either Colonel Barlow,
Colonel Hams, or Colonel Gillespie. 1t
was also stated that the President has
decided to appoint Col. Thomas f. Barr
to succeed Judge Advocate General Lie
Der, who retires May q. and that Colonel
Barr will then be retired and succeeded
by Col. John W. Clous. who will also re-
tire Immediately after appointed.
Army officers are particularly well
pleased with this action of the President.
as ii establishes precedent as to the re-
hrement of officers at the next highest
grade. which they hope to have followed
in their own cases and which r'akes pro-
motion more rapid.
Several weeks ago General Wilson. who
does not retire for age until next October.
applied for permission to retire April 30
In order that Colonel Robert might sue
coed him and be able to retire with the
rank of brigadier general. Both President
Mckinley and Secretary Root acted adj
versely upon this application on the
ground that Congress had shown its dis
approval of the retirement of officers with
the increased rank. it was also pointed
out that such action would establish a
precedent which both Colonel Barr and
Colonel Clous could avail themselves OF
and insist upon the same action TO secure
to succeed General l-ieber.
Both Colonel Barr and Colonel ClouS
waged an aggressive fight in their be-
half and number of prominent Senator'S
interested both in Colonel Robert ana
Colonies Barr and Clous urged upon the
President and Secretary of War that they
reconsider their decision in the matter.
Secretary Root discussed 1t with Presi-
dent Mckinley yesterday. with the result
that all three appointments have been
decided upon. 1t is probable. however,
that other officers will now urge that they
be given the same consideration, claiming
that they have a perfect right to retire
with the advanced rank.
Friends of Colonel Barlow, of the En-
gineer Corps. say that he should succeed
General Robert as Chief of Engineers SO
that he can be retired with the rank OF
brigadier general. notwithstanding the
fact that he will have but short time 10
