who inspired Shen originally. afterward
killed eighteen of Shen's associates.
The announcement that Great Britain
will not agree 10 the surrender of the
Shanghai reformers to the Chinese au-
thorities is much commended. and has
caused much relief TO those opposed 10
the methods of imperial prosecution.
1t is pointed out that Russia is the
only power concerned besides the United
States in declaring for the release of the
Shanghai reformers. There is also. 4
disposition on the part of the American
legation. it is asserted, to defame Shen
Chen and other reformers.
Before his death Shen wrote the fol
lowing appeal to his own people and the
foreign press:
With clanking chains leave my prison pen
Alone, TO die beside the Shunchih men,
Where, in the market place, their LIES blood
runs
Five learned. loyal, famous Hikuang sons
l. too, shall lie there with you: / have won
But little, and my day is done.
Japan and Russia striving for the East,
China her sacred capital hath lost.
Partition comes apace, oh, bitter thought!
Rulers, look We on the allies maps for naught?
Ny co Htrymen and foreign journalists, publish
In the ive continents my buried worth.
The secret treaty have dared to tell
For this it was that Ching and Chuanglang used
i'll
The little reputation have won
How worthlessl This year I thirty-one!
Hencefcrth, come veal, come woe, 1 shall not
Amidst the choirs OF heaven shall my spirit feed.

conduct In the majority of cases. the
paper says, a life sentence means a full
twenty years Of Incarceration, regardless
Of the prisoners behavior.
IF Mrs. Maybrick is freed before
1909 concludes the article, lit viii be
a distinc: concession on the part Of the
government"
