party who does not wish that Burton would resign and thus relieve what is rapidly becoming very embarrassing situation. At the same time the sen. ate is not likely to take any steps in the case until after the courts have hnaliy passed on the question of Bur tons guilt or innocence.
 To expel him from the senate now. as some would like to do, would be te prejudge g case which is coming be. fore the higher courts on appeal, and the older senators in the body do not } want to do anything like that. A good many senators are sore because Burton in his defense declared that he had done no more than his asso. ciates and therefore could not prop erly be blamed.
 A little over a year ago Burton went to one of the oldest and most highly esteemed republican senators and told him he wanted piece of ad. vice. He said that sanitarium in Kansas had asked him to examine it's literature with view to determining whether it was liable to be excluded from the mails and to prepare litera- ture which would safely escape the critical eye of the postal detectives. He said that he was going to receive generous fee for this work, but he was in doubt about the legality of it and feared it might be in violation of Section 1,782 of the Revised Statutes. The older senator asked him to bring the Revised Statutes and together fhaW Cfi1dind oor hA i1o question. Finally the older senator said that if Burton had correctly stated the nature of his employment by the sanitarium it did not come un der the class of work forbidden by the statute. At the same time he told Burton that question of propriety was involved and that so far as he was personally concerned he would not think of accepting such employ ment, however every senator must de eide for himself as to the propriety of his conduct. That was the last heard of the business until Burton was indicted, when the old senator was mildly surprised to. have Burton come up to him in the chamber one day. and calmly assert that he had never before heard of Section 1,782 under which he was indicted. He said nothing about it, but he was anything but pleased later to learn that in his testimony at St. Louis Burton had sworn that he accepted service with the Rialto company after consultation with this senator, when as matter of fact the Rialto company had never been mentioned between the two.

Mob Burning Negro.

JACKSON, Miss, Feb. 28.-The
Greenwood military company arrived at
Jackson today having in charge Al
bert Baldwin, negro, who Is alleged
to have killed Engineer Fogarty, of the
Valley road, two weeks ago. The ne
gro was captured at Batesville and was
to have been taken to Tutweiler. When
Gov. Hardaman learned that he was to
have been burned today he acted
promptly to save the negro. He and
Adjt. Gen. Ridge went with the Green
wood company on special train to
Gatesville and came back this after
noon.ss They met with no resistance.
The sheriff of Pamela, county had taken
every precaution to; keep the negro
from falling into the hands of the mob
Before the governor and the militia
arrived the negro was taken out Of
jail and walked to Sardis, ten miles
distant ard back again, so as to keep
him out of the way of those looking
for him. The governor and the ad-
1utant general report tonight that the
trip back to Jackson was made without
incident and that no hostile demon

Following letter from Booker Z. WASH
| ington:
Within the last fortnight three
| members Of my race have been burned
at the stake; Of these one was a wom-
an. Not one OF the three was charg-
ed with any crime even remotely con-
| nected with the abuse Of a white
woman. In every case murder was the
sole accusation. All OF these burnings
| took place In broad daylight, and two
OF them occurred on Sunday afternoon
| In sight of a Christian church.
These burnings without trial are in
the deepest sense unjust to my race;
but 1t Is not this injustice alone which
stirs my heart. These barbarous acts,
followed. as they are, by the publication
OF the shocking details, are more dis
graceful and degrading to the people
who inf1ict punishment than those
which receive it.
IF the law is disregarded when a
negro is concerned, it will soon be dis
regarded when white man Is concern
ed, and, besides, the rule Of the mob
destroys the friendly relations which
should exist between the races, and in
jures and interferes with the material
prosperity of the communities con-
cerned
Worst Of all, these outrages take
place In communities where there are
Christian churches; in the midst Of
people who have their Sunday schools,
their Christian Endeavor societies and
Young Mems Christian associations;
where collections are taken up for send
ing missionaries to Africa and China
and the rest of the so-called heather
world.
rs 1t not possible for pulpit and
press to speak out against these burn
ings in a manner that shall arouse
a public sentiment that will compel
the mob to cease insulting our courts,
our governments and our legal author
.fty, cease bringing shame and ridicule

TOKYO, Feb. 8, 1904.-The war Is on.
After more than twenty-one years of
negotiation with Russia about Korea.
Japan has in her own phrase taken
independent action" to safeguard what
she conceives to be her essential in
terests. Her navy has gone to sea
equipped and ready to meet the Rus
sian ships, and if the best information
obtainable can be relied upon, with or
ders to strike when they are met.
Her army is in motion. The men who
constitute the regular peace force have
either been moved to the points of con-
centration already in order to take
transport for the scene of land opera
tions as soon as the navy has cleared
the way, or are now in barracks at
their various division headquarters
awaiting the order to move out
Since Friday night, the 5th, the men
Of the First reserve have been swarm
ing to the colors. Even now more men
are ready for active service than Japan
has use for Immediately.
All this is what I wrote you about ten
days ago would happen before that
prophecy has been fulfilled. But there
was another about which cared more
Throughout the strenuous dash across
the American continent to catch the
steamer which brought me to Japan
there lurked in the back of my head
the haunting fear that to miss the con-
neetion at San Francisco was not mere
ly to have to wait for the next steamer,
but something far more-to miss one
of the greatest stories of the war, the
answer Of the Japanese nation to the
call to arms. / knew something Of
japanese emotionalism and patriotism,
and believed that when the long Pc
riod of uncertainty was ended, when
the severe nervous strain of expectant
waiting reached the climax in the de-
cision tC fight, there would be such a
response from the people as those who
saw should never forget.
1t was a natural but erroneous at
tribution to the Japanese of qualities
dominant among ourselves. Fancy what
would happen in New York the day
We began war with Russia. Would the
Stars and Stripes flaunt from windows
and roofs and flag poles? Would
crowds gather in the streets, and men
cheer and bands play martial and in
spring music? Would signs of enthusi-
asm and excitement be manifest, and
would the newspapers be filled with
details and preparations, the call for
troops, their mobilization and move
ment, all the grand rush and uprising
OF the people In answer to the call?

WOLVES TREE MAN
Victim Had Wrong Cartridges
and Brutes Escape.
Special to The Globe

Special to The Globe
DULUTH, Mimi, Feb 28.-Treed bv
eight hungry wolves whose scalps are
valued at SIS apiece by the state, Rob-
ert H. Krieger, Duluth business man,
made the startling discovery that a re-
Volyer with which he expected to bag
the bunch, was loaded with rim fire
cartridges. He snapped the weapon
twice around and then settled back on
his perch until some settlers happened
along and frightened the brutes away.
Krieger had been spending the past
ten days at William Byrnes' tie camp
near Zim station on the Great Northern
road, for the benefit of his health. He
wandered a considerable distance
through the woods, away from where
the men were working and did not
start to retrace his steps until dusk.
Shortly after he started to return to
camp Krieger found that he was the
center of attraction for five big timber
wolves which trotted along at a re-
spectful distance.
Krieger was armed with heavy re-
volver and felt little alarm. although
he drew the weapon and quickened his
pace. Soon afterward three other
-NOAF % etpPCe1 GU anu WHEN lI6y got
uncomfortably close to him, Krieger
climbed up tree. The big brutes took
their place under him and, swapping
and snarling, vainly sought to get at
their prey. Krieger waited for an op-
portunity when they were at close
range and then drawing his revolver,
took careful aim
Instead Of a report of the discharge
of the weapon, the hammer clicked
and the cartridge failed to go. He
tried another with equal lack of sue
cess and finally snapped the chamber
clear around. Then, when he made an
examination of the revolver, he found
that although the weapon was of the
center fire pattern, he had purchased
rim-f1re cartridges.
The timely arrival of settlers saved
him the discomfort of spending the
night in the tree.

FOURTEEN ARE LOST
IN FIRE AT SEA
Pacific Coast Steamer Has Ter.
rible Experience With Flames
and Storms.

PORT TOWNSEND, Wash, Feb. %.
After suffering the most narrowing
experiences from fire and storms, the
steamer Queen put in here today to
report the loss of fourteen lives. The
list of dead follows:
First-class passengers:
MISS MAUD STEINER, Clellum,

About 3:45 o'clock Saturday morning,
while off the mouth of the Columbia
river, the Queen caught fire in her after
department In some indescribab1e way.
The flames gained headway and threat
ened soon to envelop the whole ship.
To add to, the horror, the heavy seas
running meant death to any one sent
away iE the life boats. The flames
became more and more threatening,
until when it seemed a choice of deaths,
Capt. Cousins ordered the life boats
launched. They were manned by the
crew and ordered to remain close to
the ship. Into these the women and
children were placed. Hardly, how
ever, had the boats been cut loose than,
unable to weather the fierce waves,
two of them capsized.
The passengers and those Of the crew
who remained on board continued their
fight against the flames with increasing
success, until at 7:40 a. n.s the fire
was brought under control When it
was thought the danger from fire was
past Capt. Cousins recalled the life
boats and the occupants weres taken
aboard.
The Queen was headed for the mouth
of the Columbia river, and about
o'clock the steamer Santa Monica was
sighted. The Queen signaled and asked
to stand by until temporary repairs
could be made. When everything had
been made safe the Queen continued
on to the mouth of the Columbia, only
to find the bar was too rough to cross
in. The damaged craft was pointed to-
ward Puget sound bat bad fortune
still pursued her and when she round
ed Point Flattery she encountered a
heavy electrical storm. With difficulty
she weathered the storm and reached
here without further mishap. and pro-
ceeded to Seattle where she reached
about nightfall.

Well, I thought something of that
sort would happen here. There would
be an extraordinary exhibition of the
public feeling, cheers, flags, martial
music and tha display of popular ex-
citement. But was altogether wrong.
Spectacle 1t has been, and most ex-
traordinary but quite the opposite Of
ALI that / had fancied.. Without noise
| or clamor, without haste or show of ex-
citement, calmly, quietly, with the leis-
ure OF picnic preparation, the re-
sponse has been made to the summons
so long awaited and so dearly desired.
| More, 1t has been attended with a Sc
crecy that is astounding.
The nation is at grips with the huge
power which fronts 1t on the west and
north. The people are proud and de-
| termineS glad that 1t is so and sure Of
| themselves and their cause; yet with
| their ships at sea and their troops on
| the move it was not until last evening
that they received from their govern
ment the first explanation of why they
were going to war, or what they mean
to win by force that they could not
get by peaceful means.
/ doubt If the government of any
other civilized people on earth could do
what the Japanese government has
done and still retain b. fragment of
popular support. Yet almost the only
complaint heard against LnlS govern
ment is that it has not acted before.
There is criticism from many
quarters that tits not a strong gov
ernment, the cabinet Is not composed
Of popular men, and there is protest
that 1t has been weak and shilly-shal-
lying in the face Of the gravest crisis
the nation has known for many years,
but back of the cabinet sit the five
elder Statesmen" and now that the
decision is to act there Is hardly a
dissenting voice.
To an American one of the most ex-
traordinary phases Of this extraordi-
nary situation is the attitude of the
newspapers. 1t is safe to say that
there is not one Of them which has not
information which would make pages
of interesting reading; but they obey
the letter and spirit of the law. They
not only do not print any news about
the movements of troops or ships or
report any. Of the warlfke preparations
that are seen now on every hand, but
they do not make, even yelled refer
ences to them; they do not hint or
suggest.
They solemnly record the fact that
the five GenrO statesmen and the cabi-
net have had q conference lasting a
certain time, that the prime minister
has had an audience with the emperor,
that the minister Of war lunched with
the minister of marine, and that Is all.
