COUNTY ATTORNEY OBJECTS.
Released Men Because There Was No
Evidence.

The statement was published recently
that the release of Joe Casey. Pat Hol-
land and George Casey by order of
County Attorney Breen. was reflection
upon the police who arrested them.
County Attorney Breen objects to the
statement.
He said today that he consulted Chief
Reynolds by telephone a few minutes
before releasing the men, and the latter
told him there was no evidence to con-
vict them.
They We're charged with holding man
up on one Of the lower streets. and the

III HUNG Changes ADVISER DEAD
American Private Secretary to the
Viceroy for Thirty Years.

Vlcer0y Tor Vhlrty 4earS.
William N. Pethick an American, who
had been private secretary and dirlo-
matte adviser to Ii Hung Chang for so
years. died here today
Mr.. Pethick inspired most of Ii Hung
Changes progressive schemes He leaves
an unfinished book on Lii Hung Chang
and his times, upon which he had worked
for several years past. The book con-
tains valuable revelations concerning
Chinese diplomacy.
William N. Pethick went to China when
! little more than boy. shortly after the
civil war. through which he served as
a private soldier in a New York cavalry
regiment. AS soon as ne was mustered
out he obtained letter of introduction
from President Lincoln to Mr.. Burling-
game. then the United States minister
at Pekin, and started for the far East,
where he spent the rest of his life with
the exception Of two or three foreign
trips.
On reaching China, Mr.. Pethick set
himself to ma stering the Chinese literary
language. Many years ago he estab'
lished intimate social and official rela-
tons with Earl Ii and his family. He
rendered them much effective and dis
interested service, especially in familiar
king them with the foreign way of look
ing at all questions. For years it was
his custom each afternoon and evening
to read to Earl Lii such extracts from:
the foreign papers as were likely to in
terest the viceroy, as we'll as abstracts
of Reuters news kilograms.
During his long term Of association
with the vicerov Mr.. Pethick enjoyed
Earl Lis confidence and friendship to
Il high degree and was one of the few
men who had access to him at all times.
In all of the complicated negotiations
with foreign bankers and promoters. as
well as with foreign governments, which
were conducted by Ii Hung Chang he
was assisted by Mr.. Pethick.
One of Mr. Pethick's most notable
achievements was the drawing up of
Ii Hung Chang's famous anti-option
convention. Although signed by Ii Hung
Chang in 1876. this instrument was not
ratified. 1t led. nevertheless, to the
opium convention signed by the Marquis
OF Salisbury ana the Marquis Tseng,
which contained all the provisions of the
ES't agreement except in regard to the
customs duties regulating the opium
traffic. According to the later conven-
tlon the Chinese government agreed %
levy duties on home grown opium eouat
ad va,orer, to that imposed on the In
DIAN article. in addition to regular Gus

WHAT 1T COSTS IN MICHIGAN.
Some Mines There Can Be Worked
Cheaper Than Others.

Relative to the cost of producing cop
per at the Michigan mines, Horace j.
Stevens of Boston says:
THE cost of copper made by the Lake
Superior mines in 1900 ranged from a
trifle over cents to little more than II
cents per pound. There is not produc-
ing mine in the list that can reduce costs
without cutting wages, and wages are
high consequently, if absolutely neces-
sary, cut can be sustained by the
miners. During the last period of low
priced copper the big lake mines worked
steadily and earned substantial profits
even with copper at cents. 1t was dur
ing the era of the lowest price ever
reached by copper-9 cents-that the At
lantic began the extensive improvements
that have eliminated with the compile

THE NEW CANAL TREATY.
The London Daily Chronicle Thinks the
United States Have Got the Best
Of England.

London, Oct. S.-The Washington
correspondent of the Daily Chronicle
gives the alleged substance of pro-
visional canal treaty abrogating the
Clayton-Bulwer treaty. Commenting
editorially upon these advices the
Daily Chronicle says: "Englishmen
will be startled to learn that we have
abandoned our rights under the Clay
ton-Bulwer treaty and surrendered
every disputed point without any
compensation. The new treaty is APP
parently another instance of Lord
Salisbury's placid Indifference and
Lord Lansdowne's impulsive gener-
osity. 1t is said that President Roose-
welt will recommend its adoption in
the senate. Doubtless Great Britain
will agree to it. Although it gives
us nothing at all, it will have the
advantage of getting rid of all our
outstanding grievances with the
United States"

SIMPSONS CONDITION.
He Suffers from an Unusually Prolonged
Attack Of Aphasia, but His Life ID
Not In Danger.

Washington, Oct. s.-Rear Admiral
Sampson, who is now sojourning in
Washington, is profting by the daily
care and attention of one of the best
local physicians. He receives no call
ers at his present home on New
Hampshire avenue and is directly un-
der the personal care of Mrs. Samp-
son. As to the admiral's condition, it
was stated yesterday that he suffers
at present from an unusually pro-
longed attack of aphasia, an ailment
which has troubled him in greater or
less degree since he was chief Of the
naval bureau Of ordnance. Save for
this and feeble condition resulting
from too close application to work
it can be stated that Admiral Samp-
son has no other affection and that
his condition is not serious to a de-
gree wherein his life would be con-
sldered as in danger. He has been
for a great many years a sufferer
from the most painful headaches and
these, among other things, are held
responsible for his present mental
condition. He is able to take short
walks and other light exercise, but
nothing more. Admiral Sampson
will retire next February at So years
Of age.
