charges" said MT. Parker, T think he should be instructed not to make the ar rests. The chief has never convicted a man in the upper courts on this charge, and there is where the commission will suffer. If men are wrongfully arrested they want some recourse, and they will come back on the commission. Let the chief get the gamblers, but do not bother the men who pay their way, no matter where they get the money. I suggest that if the chief is going to carry into execution the orders the newspapers say he has issued, that he be required to give a bond as l don't care to engage a lawyer and pay the expenses of trial for his acts. I don't want any judgments hanging over my head"
 Dr. Mobley said he agreed with MT. Parker. He said he never thought 1t best to make arrests on the charge of vagrancy. He said if there Is gambling in the city the gamblers can be caught and convicted.
 MT. Chiles said if convictions could not be made he didn't want arrests made.
 Chief Austin stated that his instructions to the men were to arrest only such they could convict on the charge of vagrancy. He said the city had recently been infested with thieves and other crim- inals, and that number of articles had been stolen from halls. It was on account of the presence in the city of this class of criminals that he had issued the orders
 With the chiefs statement the commis- sion adjourned until o'clock tonight, when the trial of Officer Gray will come up.

MUST NOT RUSH.
Xavier Points Out That Chinese First
 Say "No," Then "Yes."

Paris, January S.-Archbisop Pewter, the head of the French mission in North China, who reached Marseilles January 5, has ar rived in Paris In an interview he said that he believed the Dowager Empress would return to Pekin in the spring, when order will be completely restored. The Europeans, he added, find they have not lost ground by recent events The gov ernment, however, must be given time to resume the direction of affairs In the meanwhile the police work now proceeding should be completed and the last band of Boxers and looters dispersed Europe must not try to rush the negotiations, for China diplomacy says No" but afterwards al ways says "Yes."
 The archbishop justified the ransacking of Pekin shops for food by Chinese Christi ians with the connivance of the arch bishop. He declared the Christians took provisions from abandoned warehouses only after they first obtained permission from M. Pinchon, the French minister, to seize the provisions, clothes and coal, and also portion of the money lying in Prince LIS palace in order to send it to the dis tressed Christians in the provinces. An &C., count was kept of everything with the view of reimbursing the owner, or deduct ing the amount from the indemnity. All the valuable objects gathered at Pei Tang, including the contents of his own museum, were sold at auction. Most of the articles were bought by two Americans.
