PARDON FOR BARLEY
Governor Savage Gives Uncon.
ditional Pardon to the De-
faultine State Treasures.
BARLEY Was Accused and Con.
victed Of Embedding $201..
600 State Funds.
Entire Shortage. However. Was
Over $500. ooO..In Prison
Four Years.

Lincoln, Neb., Jan, 1-Governor Saw
age at s o'clock last night granted an
unconditional pardon to Joseph S. Bart
ley, former state treasurer, who five
years ago was sentenced to twenty
years in the ~penitentiary OF conviction
of having embezzled Of state funds.
The pardon went into effect from the
moment it was delivered to Mrs. Bart
ley by the governors private secre-
tary. 1t was presented to Warden Da-
Wis at the penitentiary half an hour
later. and at 8 o'clock. with his family
and lawyer, Barley was brought In a
carriage TO his home In the city.
To newspaper men he said he had no
other Immediate plans than to spend
the first day of the new year with his
family. He would not admit he had an
intimation the pardon was forthccm-
ing, but said his joy in the present over
his liberty was SO complete that ne mag
no desire or time to recount the past or
discuss the future.
BARLEY has been In the state prison
four years and six months In addition
to q year in the Douglas county jail
while his appeal to the supreme court
was pending. His entire shortage is al
legged to have been $500 0 but he wa
convicted on the single count of embez-
cling $201, 900.
Governor Savage makes an extended
explanation of his reasons for granting
the pardon Primarily, he says, he is
led to believe the ends OF Justice have
been met in the punishment already in
ficted. He thinks the enormity CT the
crime was not such as to merit the SEN
tence imposed. Further he finds ex-
tenuating circumstances. Mr.. BARLEY,
he says, was the state treasurer at q
time when the whole country was un-
dergoing financial depression. Owing to
depreciating values many Nebraska
banks were on the verge of collapse and
it was with the best intentions and to
tide them over, the governor urges, that
Mr., BARLEY advanced them state
n Much of this had been lost. for
which BARLEY was responsible, tho he
old not profit. The governor finally
gives the names Of several HUNDREDS OF
the most prominent men in the state
appealing for the pardon. Four thou
sand others, he says, have made the
same request.
The governor also refers to the parole
granted Barley last July, which he
iustifies. 1t was given, he says, be-
causesH was represented that by so do
ing IT was possible for the parolled
prisoner to make collections of money
which would be restored to the state.

Woman Beats Burglars.

Chicago. Jan. by biting a high
waynian's finger until he cried out with
pain and then kicking his companion
sensleless, Mrs. Anna Wirsing, a wild

evening. Mrs. Wirsing was on her way
to q drug store to purchase medicine
for her mother when a mans hands
were clasped tightly over her eyes.
Mrs. Wirsing caught the robbers wrists

fingers in her mouth. Then h bit
with all her strength. The footpad

taken by the anti-exclusionists Is re-
ceivings more attention. This is based
on commercial reasons, and its advo-
Gates urge that any exclusion act passed
at the present session be limited to two
years instead of twenty, as is proposed
in most of the measures dealing with
the question. The argument In favor OF
limiting the restrictions to a two-year
term is based on the fact that The COM
mercial treaty between the United
States and China expires in two years,
and, it is argued, the question of immi-
grafton and the commercial relations OF
the two countries could be better settled
at the same time. Advocates Of this
proposition admit that such a delay
would enable the Chinese government to
dictate better terms with reference to
the admission of her subjects to the
United States If the proportion were
considered in connection with trade re-
~lations than If it were disposed of by
the present congress without reference
to the trade treaty which will be consid-
cred in 1904.

ter is that, before any action is taken

workings and effects Of the present law.
The minister's proposition has been sub
mitted. to congress thru the secretary OF
state and referred to Chairman Hit, OF
the house committee on foreign rela-
tions. d
The minister's letter is based upon the
terms Of the treaty of 1883 between Chi
ne and the United States, by which it is
provided that If the laws work a hard
ship on the subjects Of China the CHI
nese minister at Washington may call
attention OF the United States govern
ment to the situation and ask for action
that will accrue to the benefit OF the
parties concerned.
Minister WI asks that a commission
be appointed to Investigate the condi-
lions In Hawaii and In the Philippines
and the localities in the United States
where the Chinese subjects are to be
in large numbers. The minister
expresses the conviction that a thor
ough examination of the situation will
satisfy the commission that there Is no
longer a need for an exclusion act.
It Is not probable that n action of
this character that may be taken will
result in any delay OF the part OF con-
Egres that will prevent exclusion legisla-
ton at the present session. There is no
manifest opposition to a speedy re-en-
actment of the existing exclusion laws,
all Of the parties represented agreeing
pretty generally Upon the necessity Of
such action.

BLOCKS PANAMA A
Colombia Puts Obstacles in Way Of
SaIe Of Franchise.

Washington, Jan. L.-Adyocates of
the purchase OF the Panama canal. who
have been asserting that the United
States would be able to secure all de-
sired advantage from the government
OF Colombia, seem to have been reck-
onins without their host. Among the
conditions precedent to the construction
and operation of an interoceanic canal
by this government are absolute SOW

Both may be secured from Colombia,
according to some of the leading sup
porters Of the Panama plan.

which from their viewpoint amounts
to the same thing.
It is charged that the government of
Nicaragua will not give the right Of abb
solute sovereignty and grant a perpet-
.ual franchise, without which 1t is not
expected that this government would
attempt the construction of the canal.

member proposed making a minority

WI MAKES NEW OFFER.
He Hopes to Delay Action on the Ex-
clusion Act.


washington, Dec. 31.-Mr. WI Ting
Fang. the Chinese minister, has offered
another proposition looking to q delay
in congressional action on the Chinese
exclusion proposition. While the adop-
ton of exclusion legislation Is a fore
gone conclusion, a number of influences
are actively at work to prevent any
rigid exclusion legislation; to limit the
term OF any exclusion act that may be
passed, and to modify h provisions re-
stricting immigration.
The church people Of the country In
large numbers have been sending In PEE
titions against the passage Of an exclu-
sion act. They take the high moral
ground that the Chinese should be al
lowed to come to America. to learn the
Christian civilization OF the new world,
and to in turn impart 1t to their people
at home. However epraiseworthy this
position may be, there are not many in
dications that the members Of congress
are being influenced in favor Of h
church argument. The second position

TO HEAD OFF spEcULAToRs.
President Will Call Denmark TO Time
Offer for lalands.

U
Washington, Jan. There is a grow
ing belief in Washington that President
Roosevelt will withdraw the offer OF the
United States to purchase the Danish
West indian Islands unless the govern
ment of Denmark very shortly cuts
loose from the spectators who have
prevented the contamination of the deal
thru their desire to share in the profits.
The president has taken one step in
the direction Of reducing the strategic
value of ST. Thomas by making over to
the navy Culebra island for use as a
coaling base, thus placing that island,
which Immediately adjoins the Danish
West Indies. in precisely the same cate
CORY as Tutuila and Guam. Surveying
operations under Rear Admiral Brad
ford's direction have led to the discovery
of IN admirable harbor In this eastern
most Of American possessions.
The president and secretary OF state
are getting tired Of the dilatory conduct
OF the Danish government and now that
they know the reason for it are inclined
to abandon the idea of purchasing the
Islands until Denmark is prepared to
make q final offer. The whole delay Is
due to men who, having failed originally
to sell the islands to the United States
the capacity Of agents of the Danish
government, are now attempting to
place themselves in a position where
they ran collect commissions in the
event OF the sale being contaminated.
They are the same men whose negotia-
tons with the Mckinley administration
were cut short two years ago. When
they found that a new Danish cabinet
had entered into negotiations which
were likely to be successful, they began
an agitation in Denmark which has de-
layed the transfer OF sovereignty so that
they might make investments in st.
Croix and st. Thomas which could be
disposed OF to the United States at q
handsome profit.
The Danish government wants to sell
the islands and appreciates that II the
United States does not buy them nobody
else can or will. If the pending nego-
tiations fall thru a great many years
will elapse before the Danish govern
ment will again And SO favorable an OPP
portunity to unload her burden in the
western ocean on terms so satisfactory
as those which has been c1ered by the
Tvo;<od states
