Old Time Grave Robbers.

Under the laws of Draco, the most
severe code ever drawn up, all grave
robbers were put to death without
trial.. The old Athenian laws put a
slave to death for disturbing a body
after interment, but in the case Of a
freeman a "confscation Of a mOiety
of his possessions" was the penalty.
Constantine decreed that woman
might obtain a divorce if she could
prove that her husband had disturbed
the remains of the dead. At one time
lin the time of the seventh and eighth
Henrys) the English law held that cit
is deemed unlawful to open grave
for a second person, except for hus-
band or WIFE"

Brides Priced.

To us it seems a curious whim ON the
part of our ancestors of the eighteenth
century that in their marriage an
nouncements they should so often
choose and with such seeming compla-
cency to enlighten the world with re-
gard to the amount Of fortune received
with the brides. Here are two cases in
point: "Mr. James Coutts of Jeffry's
So, merchant, to Miss Peagrum Of
Knightsbridge, 100000" "W. Smith,

Guards, to Mrs. Ann Gardiner, a maid

fortune of 100000" chambers Jour-

With the Court.
st. Louis, Mo-, March 2S.-The jury
in the case of United States Senator
Burton returned a verdict finding him
guilty. The punishment is decided by
the court.
Senator Burton was tried in the
United States federal court on the
charge of having accepted compensa-
ton to protect the interests of the
Rialto Grain and Securities company
of st. Louis before the postoffice de-
partment. The jury deliberated forty
one hours.
If the verdict is sustained Senator
Burton will lose his seat in the senate
and forever be prohibited from holding
any office Of public trust. Each count
constitutes a separate offense and Sen
ator Burton could receive a peniten-
tiary sentence of two years or a $40
600 fine on each count. Senator Bur
toms conviction is the first under this
section of the statute which was en-
acted by congress in 1864.

UNDER MARTIAL. LAW.

Cars Orders for New Chwang a Chat
lenge to Neutral Powers.
New Chwang, March 29.-The civil
administration has notified all the for-
eign consuls and residents Of Niceroy
Alexieff's order placing the city and
port of New Chwang under martial
law, explaining that it had been so
ordered for the purpose Of safeguard
ing the commercial interests Of the
port.
The opinion of leading foreign resi-
dents and officials is that, although the
rights of neutrals remain unaltered by
treaty, Russia assumes the power to
annul these rights, also consular
jurisdiction and extra territOriality,
rendering the position of foreign con-
suls untenable.
In some quarters the order is re-
garded as an apparent challenge to
neutral powers, especially to China,
on account of the appropriation of
her territory, and that it renders the
United States gunboat Helena and the
British cruiser Espiegle liable to an
order to leave port. The consuls will
await instructions from their respec-
tive governments, inasmuch as there
is no law to guide the consuls' actions.
The property and trade interests of
the foreign residents are prepared to
be abandoned

Gar Fears Violation of Neutrality.
st. Petersburg, March 25.-Accord-
ing to information received here strong
Notifications have been erected for the
defense of Hardin and Lao Yang. The
construction of batteries at New
Chwang continues to be feverishly
pushed, and it is believed that place
will shortly be in condition to resist
even determined assault by the Jap
aneSe.
The war Office is in receipt of per-
sistant reports that the japanese are
preparing to land on neutral Chinese
territory, on the west coast of the Gulf
of Liao-Tung, either at Tien-Kian-
Cheng, in Kin-Chau bay, OF at Shan
Hai-Kwan. Although slow to believe
that Japan deliberately contemplates
a violation of her pledge to respect
neutral Chinese territory the reports
received at the ministry of war are
SO specific that they compel considera-
ton.
The presence of disguised Japanese
soldiers acting as spies along the
Shan-Hai-Kwan road has been estab-
1ished, and Russian agents report that
there is every indication Of an intend
ed landing on the west coast Of the
gulf of LiaO-Tung. The information
conveyed ny these agents seems to
coincide with other information inda-
eating a complete change in the Jap
anese plan of campaign, or of it's en-
trance into a second stage practically
involving the abandonment of further
heavy landings of troops in Korea.
