There was a small blaze in CannabaS

tact with the flame of the Condle. he
wont out without noticing this lact

NO MORE BLOOD.
Ministers Determined for More
Humane Punishment.
Chlh Stu and Hsu Cheng Pay Penalty
for Their Crimes.
A Crow1 Of Fully 10000 Persons Witness
the Executions.

Pekin, Feb. PA crowd of fully TO-
600 persons Witnessed the execution of
chin Stu and Hsu Cheng Flu, who were
beheaded here, Tuesday, in accordance
with the demands of the powers The
members of the various legations were
conspicuously absent. feeling that if
they were present they might seem to
be gloating over their fallen adversar-
les Every power, however was largely
represented by military officials and
soldiers and there was also present a
staff from each of the foreign powers.
Besides there many missionaries wit
messed the executions.
The condemned men met death stoi-
cally. In each case one blow severed
the head from the body.
At the time the execution was being
carried out the ministers held a meet
ing and determined on the part of the
ma jority to draw curtain over fur
Their demands for blood. United States
Special Commissioner Rockhill sided
strongly with those favoring humane
methods, who are Sir Ernest SatOw,
and NJ konlura, Cologan and De Giers,
respectively British. Japanese. Spanish.
and Russian ministers. Others believed
punished and that men should be exc
cuted in every city. town and village
where foreigners We're injured.
The minority is composed of those
who We're not here during the seige. in
addition to DR.. Mumm Won Schwar
zenstein. the German minister, while
those who We're beseiged here are of
more peaceful frame Of mind. including
10 Cierc 10 ('nlnO1n
both of whom are of the opinion that it
was a mistake to leave those who had
suffered like the beseiged ministers
did, to conduct the peace negotiations
With the Chinese However. it is safe
to say. as already cabled. that little
more bloodshed will be demanded.
Another important point that was
brought up at the meeting was that of
the legation quarters. Mr.. Rockhill i'm
pressed the ministers by his remarks
regarding the protest of Sir Robert
Hart against the seizure Of his prop
erty to increase the area of the lega-
tons saying that the services rendered
the powers by Sir Robert as the fiuan-
cial representative Of China should
have prevented the indignities and
spoliation inflicted. The feeling is gen
cral that italy should reccde from her
position and return the property sh"
has taken. and that if necessary for
her to increase her legation, she should
take, land elsewhere.
DR. Mumm Won Schwarzcnstein. the
German minister. ana the Marquis
Salbago Eaggi, the Italian representa-
tive. expressed high appreciation Of Sir
Robert Hart and regretted that mat
ters of state made necessary the TAX
ing Of lands Of the customs officials.
Sir Ernest SatoW, and Mr.. Rockhi!l
thought AN exception should certanlN
be made Of Sir Robert Harris personal
property. ana that the limits of the le-
cation should be defined the same as
published.
Reports from the Shen 81 province
show that suffering due to the famine
there is increasing.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.
Bill Passed Restricting Work Of Miners to 8
Hours Per Day.

London. Feb. 21.-The House Of
Comons today after a lengthy debate
passed the second reading of the bill
restricting the work Of miners to eight
hours daily by 2l2 to i99 votes.
The bill is Il private measure The
opponents Of the restriction of the
hours of labor insisted that such action
would enormously enhance the price Of
coal.
Sir Alfred Hickman. Conservative
said the country. during the past year
had had an object lesson of the effect
on trade of the dear coal The British
government had to buy bridges in
America for Uganda, Egypt ana Eur
nah. The railroads bought rails in
America and even coal had to he inn
ported into this country. In the Unit
cd States miners produced 80 per cent
more coal than they did in England.
Not because they were more Skilful but
because they worked 10 hours per day.

Both men We're in the pink of condi-

that the battle was for blood.
The first round orencd with CONSIDER
able fiddling. Ferguson appeared lit
tie nervous. while Dick was collected
and played Il steady game. Sandy"
did considerable running round, while
O'Brien took things easy. There was
some heavy hitting by both boxers, but
owing to FerGuson's long reach he
landed the oftener of the two. They
mixed it up in an extremely warm
manner. and necessarily there was a
good deal of clinChing.
HonorS were about even up to the
fourth round when both men settled
down to hot fighting at short range.
This was followed by clnch in which
Ferguson fouled his opponent by Civ
ing him the knee. and Referee Sears
declared OBrien the winner. This an

mingled with Kisses.
The preliminary bouts prior to the
main fight were between local men
and were exceedingly good.
