FRIEND OF CHINA
PooN CHOW TALKS ABOUT CHINA
TO NEW YORK AUDIENCE.
Reverend Poon Asks Pertinent Cues
tions and Says That This Country
Is Friend to China in Spite Of
Exclusion Law.
(By Associated Press.)

New York, Jan. 4.--Rev. Poon Chow,
editor of San Francisco newspaper, in
lecture at the Fifth Avenue Presby-
terian church, spoke as follows, to the
causes leading up to the recent crisis in
China
Among the causes may be mentioned,
the traffic in opium. The Chinese will
not forget how opium came to them, nor
the opium war of 1889.
Another thing Is the method of treat
ment of the Cinnamon by foreigners.
They teach us that might Is right.
What right has England, Russia or
France, or Germany to take portions Of
China? They would not treat Amer
ica so.
If Russia should demand the beau
tiful city Of New York, because a Rus
sian got killed by train in America
you wouldn't like it. However, the Chi
nese feel that America is a friend to
China, Notwithstanding the exclusion
laws.
When President Mckinley was shot.
1t sent thrill through all China. All
people of Shanghai are collecting money
and will raise money for the memorial
to President Mckinley"

BRAIN OF CzOLCOSZ
REPORT ON AUTOPSY AND MEN
TAI STATUS OF ASSASSIN.
LEGALLY AND MEDICALLY SANE
He Was Merely Victim of the Disease
of Anarchy-Perverted But Not
Mentally Unbalanced - An
Exhaustive Report.

New York Jan. Am exhaustive re-
port Of the trial, execution, autopsy and
mental status Of czolgosZ, the assassin
of President Mckinley, Is given In the
New York Medical Journal. The report
embodies the result Of much careful In
vestiga ton by Dr. Carlos Mcdonald and
Edward Spitzka Of this city. The ques-
tion which these investigators set them
selves to answer was:
when CzoIgosz shot the president did
he know the nature and quality of the
act he was doing and that the act was
wrong?"
This was from the legal standpoint.
From the standpoint of medical science.
the question that framed itself was:
Was CzolgosZ, at the time he COM
mitted the act, a victim OF mehtal dis
ease or mental unsoundnessY'
The reply 10 these questions which
embodes the entire history or the case
from the trial of tho criminal 10 his exc
cuton and disposal Of his remains, takes
up nearly twelve pages, and, dyested of
all teehnicalltes, Is to the effect that
cZolgosZ was sane and responsible under
the law and punishable for the offense,
though everything i'm his history, a.-
cording to the medical experts pointed
to the existence in him of the social
disease, anarchy, Of which he was "A We
tim. His refusal to reply to questions
Is held to be in line with his role IN
making the theatrical statement II am
an anarchist and done my duty"
Dr. Mcdonald concludes his report with
the declaration that Czolgosz, when he
assassinated President Mckinley, was In
all respects sane-legally and medically
and fully responsible for his act.
Mr.. Spitzka, who made the autopsy
concludes his report as follows.
There has been found absolutely none
OF the yiscera that could have been at
the bottom Of any mental derangemenf
Taking 1t all in ALL the verdict must be
Socially diseased and pervertc cd, but not
mentally diseased
The horrible violation of human law
will always be condoned by the plea OF
insanity. The wild beast slumbers In US
all. 1t Is not always necessary to invoke
insanity to cause its awakening"

MKINNoN, THE HANNA CANDI-
DATE FOR SPEAKER, ELECTED.

Factions--Hanna Men Experienced
Boom During Night - Long
Nominating Speeches.
(By Associated Press.)

Columbus, o., Jan. 4.-rhe republican
caucuses for the organization OF the
Ohio legislature will be held this after

cuses" were held during the night ana
were continued this morning. The For
aker senators formed one caucus and the
Hanna senators another and the same
lines were drawn In separate caucuses
OF the representatives.
The Hanna men had such boom dur

Kinnon for speaker stood unmolested

The drift was 50 strong for McSin-
non for speaker That II carried Nc
Elroy for clerk and the rest of the Han

publican senatorial caucus this after

LIGHTS IN ENGINE
NEW PLAN FOR GIVING TRAIN
ORDERS is PROJECTED.
NO MORE WRITTEN ORDERS
Chief Dispatcher Miller Believes in the
New Black Light System-Being
Tried on Chicago and Illi-
nois Road.
(By Associated Press.l


Chicago, Jan. 4.-Train dispatchers Of
the country want all possibility of col
lisions rendered impossible by doing
away with the present system of train
orders that can be mislnterpreted and
signals that may be unseen. Instead OF
these methods 1t Is proposed to substi-
tute colored electric lights in the engine
cab; signals that always can be seen
and never be misunderstood
Among those who recommend the
change is A. G. Miller, Aurora, chief
dispatcher of the c. T.. & Q. He states
that several disastrous wrecks In the
last thirty days were due to the alleged
misunderstanding Of written orders, and
asserts that these orders should never
have been used.
The system of placing block signals
at this day when trains frequently run
so miles an hour Is asserted to be unsafe,
as they cannot always be read by the
engineer when going at such speed
Automatic blocks or lights In the en-
gine cab said Mr.. Miller means just
two things: When they are clear or
white, the train should proceed. When
they are red the train should stop. There
should be no written ORDERS"
This system of movable blocks of
lights in engines Is being installed on the
Chicago & Eastern Illinois railroad,
chiefly through the efforts Of Mr.. Miller,
who took the initiative In bringing the
system to perfection. The experiment
will be watched with interest by other
railroad men throughout the country.

IS WITHOUT MONEY
PRESIDENT CASTRO REPORTED TO
BE IN FINANCIAL STRAITS.
WANTS TO BUY WAR SUPPLIES
Venezuelan War Vessels Reported
Without Coal and Cannot Go to Sea
Rebel Ship Lands Troops
Near Barcelona.
(By Associated Press.)


Wllemstadt, Island of Curacao, Jan. A..
The armed revolutionary steamer Lii
bertador, formerly the British steamer
Ban Righ, has, 1t Is believed here, landed
the expedition near Barcelona, Vene-
zuela.
Advices received from Caracas show
that the Venezuelan government is
without news of the movements of the
Libertador. The vessels composing the
Venezuelan fleet are without coal, and
besides their engines are out of order,
and therefore President Castro has not
put to sea in search for the Libertador.
About 1900 partisans of General Reca,
a Venezuelan revolutionist, are awaiting
his arrival near Coro, Venezuela. When
Reca arrives 1T Is intended to set the
country in blaze of revolt. Six other
bands of insurgents raised by General
Fernandez Mendoza and others are un-
der arms, but they are avoiding COM
ing into contact with the government
troops until they receive reinforeements
and arms and ammunition.
The fact that the governments efforts
to capture these bands has been without
success Is looked upon by the revou-
tionists as proof of the vitality of the
revolutionary movement.
The Venezuelan government, according
to the advices from Caracas, is without
money and is vainly trying to buy war
supplies in New York.
1t is further asserted that the en-
ployes Of the government have been
without pay for the last six months, and
that they are only awaiting favorable
opportunity to take part in the revolt
against President Castro.

Comment From West Texas Stockman.

Comment From West Texas Stockman.
The up-to-date cowman has no time
for repining over the passing of old
time conditions and the obliteration OF
old time methods. This is an era OF
progress and prosperity, and the success
full man is he who falls the most readily
into line and adapts himself to the new
era. The lease law is passing, just as
the free grass gave place to the leased
pastures. Permanent prosperity is
based upon individual ownership OF
grazing lands and the production of a
better class of cattle. In this section
the big ranch must give way to the i'm
proved stock farm. Such is the decree
of progress, and there is nc stay in the
hand that is dealing out destiny.
A Chicago paper very sensibly calls
attention to the disastrous effects of big
run of cattle to market, such as the
country is now going through. 1t looks
as if the cowmen of the country are al
ways on one extreme or another. When
one man begins to overstock his range
the other fellow Immediately comes to
the conclusion that his range is capable
of carrying about 50 per cen more. On
the other hand, let one man begin to cut
down his herd and ship the surplus to
market, and the other fellow proceeds to
fall into line by shipping everything
that carries an ounce of tallow. That in
the way it works, and it always ends is
disaster.

Iheifer Beef.

In this country there is always a dis
elimination against fat heifers of soc to
s. per cwt., as compared with the cores.
ponding grade of fat steers. In Grea,
Britain there is no discrimination. II
any favor is shown it is for heifers.
At the great %Smith6eld show last year
the great champion animal was a heifer
and the display of fat steers at that show
was a most creditable one. Furthermore
good Americans who were there tell us
they believe the heifer Brunhilde was a
better animal than the steer "Shamrock;'
champion of the 1902 International.
What is the matter? Don't the British
know what they are doing when the,
place heifers on a par with steers, or don
you know how to fatten heifers?
