EMPRESS STOPS REFORM.
Death of CHEN Has Made Chinese
officials Dumb.

Death of CHEN Has Made Chinese
officials Dumb.
PICKING, Aug. 3.-China is witness
ing a return to the conditions when
followed the coup d'etat of 1898. Politl-
cal discussions among the Chinese,
which increased during the imperial
courts recent policy of friendliness to-
ward foreigners, has suddenly stopped.
The plan of the dowager empress to
terrify the reformers by the execution
Of Shen Chen has been successful.
Shen Chen was a native editor n
reformer who incurred the anger OF the
empress dowager. The evidence at his
trial was so weak that Chen probably
would have been acquitted a he not
boldly proclaimed his principles
throughout and his willingness to die
for them. The condemned mar was
beaten to death with bamboo canes.
All the liberal Chinese, particularly
those who have been associated with
the reformers, are in the greatest fear
of arrest. and it is difficult to find a
Chinaman who is willing to mention
politics or the tragedy of Chien's DEATH
although the latter is almost the ONLY
topic of conversation among trusted
friends. The officials are particularly
dumb. The affair is disappointing to
the foreigners, who had hoped that TIE
empress dowager's association with the
ladies' of the legations would have a
civilizing influence.
Prince Su, the most liberal of the
Mantchoo princes, who in March last
issued a proclamation against incense
burning to military idols because it was
the chief rite during the Boxer trou-
bles, is reported to have risked his OF
flee by opposing the execution OF Shen
Chen.

kentucky FeWd Case Continued,
With No End In Sight.
CYNTHIANA, Ky, Aug. 3.-The Sec
bnd trial of Curtis Jett and Thomas
White for the murder of ]. B. Marcum
has been continued one week, and the
prosecution is still calling witnesses.
Commemorative Attorney Byrd has
surprised all in securing the batch Of
persons from Breathitt county who, it
was thought, never would testify
against either of the defendants.
Among the witnesses who fled to the
mountains during the trial at Jackson
was Henry Freeman. and he was held
in confinement here several days until
he agreed to testify. He was on the
stand again for the third time and told
how Jet and White came to his saloon
for whisky ON the night after Marcum
was shot and talked freely about the
dog that had been killed." Freeman
testified that while they were drinking
White said, Il had to get ahead of him
some way. and did it the best way |
could
Mrs. Combs corroborated Mrs. John
ston in saying that Jet had told her
that Mrs. Johnston asked him who kill
ed her brother, and his reply was,
Yes, l killed your brother" There is
no prediction as to when the trial will
end, as the defense is now hunting up
witnesses everywhere in Breathitt
county.
Goodloe Combs, one of the witnesses
for the prosecution in the case, has
died here of appendicitis. He was one
of the most expert rifle and pistol shots
in the mountains of eastern Kentucky.
He was sentenced for life for killing
Mr.. Rose at Clay City, but was par
doned after serving some years.

the University Lecture Course to
call attention to the Importance of
Leland Powers visit to Morgantown.
| wish now to speak for the Depart
ment of Elocution. Those who have
not heard Mr.. Riddle should know
that he is as great reader as Mr.
Powers is an impersonator. 1t is
perhaps unnecessary TO say that he
does not ordinarily read in small
towns nor for a reason of three
rights in any but the largest cities
and at the leading Universities. If
the people are interested to enjoy
the best reading that they can hear
anywhere at present they will not
miss George Riddle.
