CHINA GOING BACKWARD
POLICY OF REACTION ADOPTED BY
THE GOVERNMENT.
Old System of Terrorism and Repres-
sion Again EmpIOyed-ResOrts
of Native Editors.

PEkING, July 29-The Chinese who. are
advocating government reforms have been
terrorized by the readoption of the old poll
cy of repression as instanced by the recent
arrest at Shanghai of Chinese editors on
charges of sedition. These arrests are in
terpreted as indicating that the extreme
conservatives are i'm the ascendancy, and
that the government has determined to sup
press the freedom of speech which has pre-
vailed since the upheaval of 1900. The
names Of forty residents of Peking, who
are ACCUSED of liberal tendencies, were pre-
scented to the dowager Empress to-day by the
reactionary officers and were recommended
for severe punishment. Those accused are
considered guilty of only what In enlight-
ened countries would be termed legitimate
criticism of the government This is said
also to be true of the native journalists
imprisoned at Shanghai. except in the case
of two of them, who suggested the assassi-
nation of the Manchu rulers as a remedy
for Chna's troubles.
All foreigners and progressive Chinese
are deeply interested in the decision which
the ministers will make on the question of
turning over the native editors arrested
at Shanghai to Chinese jurisdiction and
they express the hope that technicalities
concerning the jurisdiction of the mixed
court will be ignored, If necessary. and that
the ministers will refuse, on the ground
of humanity, to deliver the prisoners to
the Chinese for probable torture and execu-
ton as happened In the case of the Chinese
spies who were turned over to the Chinese
officers at Shanghai during the japanese
war.
Chang Chi Tung, viceroy Of Nan-Kin, is
credited with the leadership of the reac-
tionary policy, advising such course to
the Empress dowager, who willingly
acauiesced Prince Ching is reported to ia
vor leniency. At the examinations recently
held at Picking for the selection of officers
many of the candidates departed from the
usual custom of writing merely scholarly
essays and submitted papers favoring i'm
provements I'm the government. All who
pursued this course were refused Offices on
the advice of Chang Chi Tung. The dow
ager Empress is said to blame the reform
ers and the increasing freedom of speech
for the disorders in the south, hence the re-
pressive measures.
Chang Chi Tung has been held to be one
of the progressive viceroys He was APP
pointed on the joint ministry of education
and was recently ordered to revise the con-
stitution of the Picking University and to
form plain system for provincial govern
ment.

HAVANA, July 29.-The efforts of quar-
tet of wild characters to cause an uprising
in the vicinity of Bayamo. province of San
tiago, has ended in the capture Of the lead
er and the killing of three men. For three
weeks the men had been attracting consid-
cradle attention in the vicinity endeavoring
to excite the people to treason and violence
on the ground that the revolutionary forces
had not been and were not likely to be paid.
Yesterday the party was overtaken by de-
tachment of Rural Guard and the leader
and the horses of the agitators were cap
tured, after some shooting on both sides.
The other three men were pursued until late
yesterday, when they were killed. Several
shots were fired at the guards, but not one
of them was hit.
The facts were telegraphed Senior zero.

Santiago. Secretary zero informed the cor
respondent of the Associated Press that
this effectually ended the only semblance of
an uprising in Cuba. Two of the culprits
were former cOnvictS. Only one of the party
had belonged to the revolutionary army.

real spirit that stands like giant in the
way of progress in this direction is the con-
servatism of prosperity. We may be COM
PEELED TO wait until we are in the throes of

to be done. You can help to refute the
greatest fallacy of the age, which is that.

laws, that those laws will keep us pros

MESSAGES MAY BE STOLEN.


BERLIN, July 29.-The German Wireless
Telegraph Company, which was recently
organized through the amalgamation of the
Slaby and Braun systems, has issued a
statement regarding Signor Marconi's ut
terance the possibility of the German
company intercepting Marconi messages in
England. Marconis opinion that such in
Perception can only occur If the German
companys stations are erected in England
is, it is declared, erroneous. The German
company says all that is necessary is to
erect strong station on the shores of the
Baltic or the North sea, attune its receiv-
ing wires to Marconis station at Poldhu,
Cornwall, and 1t would be impossible for
Marconi to receive transatlantic messages.
The statement concludes: such procedure
for fighting the world monopoly aimed at
by Marconi could hardly be called 'chican-
cry, but more properly self-defense."

stances.
The curve at the place where the car
was wrecked is very abrupt and it is said
that on account Of the defective brakes
not working properly the car was thrown
from the track the moment 1t struck the
curve.
None of the passengers placed any blame
on the motorman or conductor, except that
they thought the car might have been run
ming at an excessive rate of speed when
approaching a grade crossing. The brakes.
however. are blamed entirely for the acct
dent, which cost one life and injury to many
others.
