THE SOUTH'S SURVIVING GEN
ERALS

An authoritative list of the surviving
generals of the Southern Confederacy
is furnished by General Marcus j.
Wright, Confederate veteran employ
ed by the war department. All the full
rank generals had died in 1898, when
Beauregard passed away. There are
now four surviving lieutenant gslerals
Simon B. Buckner. Stephen D. Lee,
Alexander p. Stewart and Joseph
Wheeler. OF major generals there are
eleven and of brigadier generals fifty
one. The surviving staff officers of
Confederacy shrunk one-half in num-
Der during the past decade and their
disappearance has now become very
rapid.

MEx1co's NEW SUPREME JUDGE

MEXICO'S NEW SUPREME JUDGE.
The recent election of Felix Romero
to the office of president of the SUI
preme court of the republic of Mexico
has given widespread pleasure, partic-
ularly in judicial circles and among the
leading politicians of the country. Mr..
Romero, like the late President Benito
Juarez and President Porfiro Diaz, is a
native of Oaxaca and was a schoolfel-
low of President Diaz, both attending
the Counciliar seminary of that city.
When the constitution was framed in
1857 he was one of the signers. OF all
the others who signed the document
there are besides himself but three liv-
ing-Ignacio Mariscal, minister of for
eign relations; Justine Fernandez, min
lister of justice, and Senator Benito
Gofes Farias.

CHINESE ROBBERS.
The executed man belonged to one of
the numerous robber bands terrorizing
Manchuria, which, 1 learn, are organic
ed after the fashion of the Boxers, and
as they used to do claim that foreign
competition and lack of employment
force them to an unlawful life. 1t is
quite possible that their leaders are
in the pay of the Japs, at any rate,
they murder and rob indiscriminately,
natives, Cinnamon and Russians. EX-
cepting the Russians, they treat for
eigners with the respect due them. I
know Of a dozen or more Chinese eX-
petitions sent against these hordes that
were promptly whipped by the outlaws.
Whenever a Chinese victory over robber
bands is reported you may take it for
granted the latter were outnumbered a
hundred fold at least.

ASKED CORRESPONDENTS FOR
MONEY

L
AT the same time the executioner took
up the head by the pigtail and showed
it all around. Next he addressed the
rik-shaws, shouting in pigeon English,
Me like mon for show" AS he ap-
preached your correspondent swinging
the bleeding head in his left hand,
threw a Mexican dollar hard in his
face, SO disguised was I with the brute,
but the form of displeasure 1 adopted
seemed to please him exceedingly, and
to get rid of the CORY spectacle, my col
leagues had to follow suit. After
gathering all the money possible to col
lect the young rascal threw the head
upon the naked trunk, wiped his sword
on the latter and wrapped it in yellow
cheese-cloth. Next I saw him shoulder
arms and march down the line of ap-
plauding spectators, who greeted him as
an audience of bloodthirsty Spaniards
is wont to acclaim a victorious bull
sticker.
The line of soldiery wheeled about and
admitted a sorry procession, the par
ents, wife, children, uncles and cousins
of the late brigand, who come to claim
his body and carried it off in mis-
cradle dry goods box, marked Mos

their last belongings to obtain the per-

The MongoI, as We have seen. and the

ering broad sword. The hands of the
prisoner were unfettered, but when he
was taken off the cart We noticed that
his feet were stuck in wooden blocks.

peared on better terms with himself.
On account of the wooden anklets the
headman's helpers were obliged to as
sist their prey in walking. They did
so in friendly spirit and the prisoner
rewarded them by smiles and jokes
When the party reached the line of
rikshaws where your correspondent sat
enthroneb with others. the prisoner in
dulged in a low obeisance, held out his
left hand and drew the index finger of
his right across in imitation of writ
ing. He understood that he was good
copy for us and seemed to be rather
proud of the fact.
SHORT PROCEEDINGS
Another signal: preparations for the
last toilette. The delinquent's coat and
undercoat are removed and all is ready
for the last act, the last but one. The
polite Mongol must not be asked to die
before he has taken leave of his audi
ence. He paid his first compliments
to the sword, the vice regal represen-
tative, who got a snap of the fingers
for his authority and a smile for his
person; then, as is fit, a low bow to
the press-who says that the pen is not
mightier than the sword ?-and finally
a pleasant grin all around. This I'M
cultured Mongol had a greeting for all,
mere curiosity-seekers and soldiers
alike. That duty performed, he knelt
complacently down on the stone slab,
allowing his pigtail to fall over his fore
head.
The executioner jumped from the
horse, raised the two-headed sword high
above his head and cried, TIA" Man
churian slang for Here goes But he
knocked only a hole in the back of the
poor DEVILS head.
TIA" repeated the rascal, grinning
all over his face; the second stroke
broke the neck bone, but the flesh be-
ing not completely severed, he stepped
up to the patiently kneeling man and
cut off his head slowly and painfully,
While his assistants stood by to catch
the spouting blood on balls of cotton
fastened to sticks. These must be sent
to Picking, in proof of the execution.
But for the headsplan's awkwardness,
the execution was not nearly as revolt
ing as similar acts prolonged by intol-
cradle judicial ceremonies I witnessed
in Europe and the United States. This
as far as concerns the execution itself
/ thought the worst over. but it was
not, for now the executioner's men
threw themselves like vultures upon the
dead body for their perquisites, the
clothes and scant jewelry. They strip
ped it completely, with many rough
jokes, re-echoed and applauded by the
native soldiery.
