They STAYED All Niaht.

Yesterday afternoon Judge c. NJ
Campbell and S. A. Douglass drove out
to the new Chickasaw lake, expecting
perhaps, to get a shot at some of the
wild birds that frequent this lake.
They got there little late, looked
around, talked to Mr. Smith who lives
by the lake until darkness came on
and being afraid to venture back over
the rough road in the darkness they
concluded to stay all night.
tbs morning when they arrived
home explanations were in order, but
1t did sound a little fishy.

TO HANG ALL
 ANARCHISTS
Immigrants to Take an Oath on Landing to Respect All
 Officials.

Washington. Jan. 7.-Representative Jenkins, of the special committee which is framing the anti-anarchist bill. to day introduced a measure which, in ad dition to providing the death penalty for assaults on the president. requires alien immigrants to take an oath not to assault those in government authority and not to publicly uphold subversion of the government by violent means.
 New York, Jan. 6.-Otficial statisti- clans show that 3O2,S4S emigrants left the United Kingdom for places outside of Europe during 1901, an increase of 4,2S7 compared with the figures of the preceding year. The great majority of them came to America. The United States got l94, 1888, and British North America 43,Ol3.

The Deal Between Her and

SECRET DOCUMENTS
Authentic Evidence That Russia Fo- mented the Boxer Uprising to Aid the Dowager Empress in ExpeiIing the Foreigners From the Country.

London, Jan. lj. The Times pub fishes three alleged secret documents communicated by Dr. Ular. prominent student Of Chinese affairs, who recently returned to Europe from Manchuria and Mongolia, which go to prove the existence of a bargain negotiated be- tween the late Ii Hung Chang and Russia through the medium of the Russian Prince Ukhtomskv.
 Under the terms of this bargain the Boxer movement which, it is hinted was fomented by Russia, was to be turned against the foreigners, Russia enga ging to protect the dowager em- press against the Western powers in return for permission to occupy Man churia and have very free hand in Mongolia.
 Commenting editorially on the mat ter, the Times says it sees nothing in recent history as to Russian action in the far East which is inconsistent with the story contained in the documents supplied by Dr. Ular. and is, therefore, inclined to accept them as authentic.
 Pekin, Jan. l5.-Recent occurrence, tend to discourage the hope that the dowager empress has learned lesson of reform from the events of the past year, and foreigners are disposed 70 take pesSimistic view of the outlook. General Yung Lu's determination to organize two anti-loreigner corps to offset the commands of the. pro-Ioreign Chinese leaders is particularly dis quieting, and is evidence of a continued domination of Yung Lu's influence, which is bitterly autiforeign.
 The Chinese officials have been sounded by the foreign ministers as to whether they will enforce the old custom restraining foreigners from witnessing imperial procesSonS. The replies are not encouraging. The treaty gives the legations strip of wall commanding the gates of the inn peral city, and members of the foreign community were planning to assemble thereon. It will be great innovation on the long prevailing custom should this privilege be accorded to the for eign residents.
