Hung Do province, on the frontier OF
the Kirwin district of Manchuria, to
keep in order the bandits who are
constantly embroiled with the Chi.
nese settlers in the Tumen region,
which has resulted in diplomatic rep
reservations on the subject of China.
II Is considered doubtful whether
these troops will reach their destina.

they will desert.
The Japanese minister to Korea, M.
Hayashi, has requested the Korean
government to facilitate the plans OF
General Haraguchi, the commander OF
the Japanese forces at Seoul, for the
thorough sanitation of Seoul and the
other large towns Of Korea, so as not

Judge Stevens severely criticised the
course Of Governor James H. Peabody
and the military authorities, saying
they appeared to be in Instruction
against the courts.
General Bell is quoted as saying:
IF Sheriff Corbett takes us to Ouray
it will have to be over the dead bodies
of all the soldiers under my command
in this county. He has not got men
enough to do that. The situation de.
mands that we stay in Telluride.
Mr.. Meyer will never be produced
in court until Governor Peabody or.
ders me to do SO, unless he escapes
and goes over the range on snow
shoes"

Lew WILL NOT HANG.
Board Of Pardons commutes Sentence
Of ioahoan Convicted Of Murder.


The state board of pardons at
Boise, Idaho, on Monday committed
the sentence of George Levy to life
Imprisonment He was to have been
hanged on Friday for the murder Of
Davis Levy In October, 1901.
The feature of the application for
clemency was a showing indicating
that another man may have COM
mitted the deed. Soon after Levy
was murdered the public administra'
tor received through the mail what
purported to be will left by him.
The principal beneficiary under this
will was Harry Watkins, furniture
dealer. It Is claimed an investiga'
ton has demonstrated that the docu.
ment was written on a typewriter In
the possession of Watkins, also that
he had Levy's signature on slip OF
paper in his desk. The latter fact
was testified to before the board by
men who had been in Watkins en-
ploy.
The murdered man was an old
miser and was quite wealthy. Wat
kins was indebted to him at the time
of his death. George Levy was not
relative of the murdered man. He
is a Frenchman who rented property
from the old man for immoral purs
poses.

lieved to be residents Of Santa Bar

feet in the brake apparatus. While
the rear brakes were tightly set
against the wheels, the forward
brakes were Of no service because of
the gearing. The motorman discov.
cred that something was wrong with
the car several blocks above the point
where the accident occurred, and en-.
deavored to set the brakes, but failed

|. All day yesterday Clark had hoped
| that the last effort to save his life
would result favorably, and even up to
this morning he still believed that he
would not be hung. Last night for the
first time he received local minister,
who remained with him for two hours.
While Clark did not profess Christian
ity, he seemed to be brighter after the
minister had left him. He retired about
1880, but slept very little during the
night.
When called this morning he quickly
jumped from bed and donned neat
suit Of black. He partook OF a light
breakfast and a few moments after
walked out of the hospital and met his
fate. He had nothing to say before the
execution. but left letter to his
mother, who resides at Olympia.
Clark killed Leila Page in a fit Of
jealousy, and then made an unsuccess-
full attempt to take his own life. He
went with her to their room In olym-
pia's redlight district. Next morning,
when the door Of the room was opened,
Clark fell out, almost unconscious, his
clothes and hands covered with blood,
and a gaping wound In his neck. He
had cut the womans throat and then
crushed her skull with an AK. He then
cut his own throat and took poison.
In the superior court at Olympia he
was found guilty Of murder in the first
degree. He appealed to the state SUI
preme court alleging irreguarity In the
trial. The supreme court affirmed the
lower court. He was brought to the
penitentiary June 13. 1904.
Since Clark came TO the penitentiary
he has kept up courage and shown no
anxiety whatever. He has been kept
In a cell away from the remainder OF

Captain William Johnstone, who has

four months and visited Sydney after
an absence of almost 40 years. His
mother, who is SS years of age, is still

interesting family of six girls, of whom
their uncle is very proud. During
Captain Johnstones stay at Sydney his
charming nieces provided no end of
entertainment for him, and the captain
confesses that. as much as he is at

his return journey. tst afE

it was a city of perhaps 10000 popu-

believe, the very finest in the world.
The shipping interests of the port are
really wonderful, and great lines ply
to every port of Importance In the

expended in improving the harbor and
the shipping facilities are all that could
