Another Guess II the Lott Road.

There has been a lot of talk about
what the Frisco aud the Lott roads
were going to do. The Arkansas
Pass is not going to buy the Frisco
or the Rock Island-tilat is official.
But, here is another guess. the San
Antonio & Arkansas Pass will build
from Falfurrias twenty-five miles
to a connection with the Lott road
and use the Lott road track to
Brownsville. The Lott road will
build to Sinton and use the Sap
rails to San AntOniO.-San Antonio
Express.

CHINESE LABORERS
TREATED LIKE DOGS

BERLIN. May pa correspondent of
the Frankfurter Zeitung. writing from Har-
bin under date of April Is, gives striking
details illustrative of the conditions of the
Russian army and the relations existing
between the Russians and the Chinese. He
says that two officers, Lieutenant Colonel
Korlinsky and Staff Captain Ignotowich,
are in the Hardin prison awaiting the car
rying out of sentences of death imposed
upon them for selling large supplies of gum
powder to the Chinese from the army de-
pots. The officers charged the Chinese SIS
per thirty-six pounds. but, their supplies
running low. they filled the boxes partly
with sand and placed layer of gunpowder
on top. At the same time they raised the
price to $50 The Chinese merchants. in
censed at the swindle, caused the matter
TO be made known in higher quarters, and a
watch was set, resulting in the detection
OF the officers in the act of selling powder
to Russian Intermediates. By similar
means the robber bands well supplied
with the most modern rifles and plenty of
ammunition. Although 1t is prohibited to
sell arms to the Chinese, 1t is we'll known
that every native village possesses regu-
lar arsenal, containing the best repeating
rifles, including many of the German model
of 1900
The robber bands have grown holder and
mere active than ever. Within few weeks
OF the date of the letter to the Frankfurter
Zeitung band numbering many as
1900 men attacked a well-guarded rail-
way station. The Russians asserted that
they positively recognized japanese OFF,
GERS in command of the assailants.
Continuing, the correspondent says that
ferocious bitterness prevails throughout the
Chinese population against the Russians
He then relates the following Incidents in
explanation thereof. After saying that the
Russian settlers regarded the natives as
being far lower than dogs, the correspond
ent says that Russian authorities assured
him that the peasant settlers tested their
new rifles by taking a native as a target.
"One native with whom / travelled he
says, did not salute a well-known officer,
because the latter had shot down eight of
the engineers best laborers in mere wan
tonness His complaint remained unan-
swered." In consequence of such things.
the correspondent asserts in conclusion, the
entire laboring population are longing for
the moment when they may dare to fall
UPON their tormenters.

them to reserve the grain for the Chinese

former is championed by the privileged

The latter are headed by Yuan Shi kai and

ASYLUM AUTHORITIES
AND JUDGE IN A CLASH
Controversy Over Admission of
Clara Cooley, Clark County,
to Insane Hospital.

A contention has arisen between DR.
Edenharter. superintendent of the Central
Hospital for the Insane, and Judge j. x.
Marsh, of the Jeffersonvile Court, over the
admission of Clara Belle Cooley, of Clara
county. The application for her commit
ment was returned by Superintendent Eden
harter with a request for what is known as
the preliminary questions. These ques-
tions, Ii is claimed. are in blank form and
are always asked in ordinary cases of
lunacy inquests, but Judge Marsh refused
to answer them the grounds that such
information is not required by law in cases
where a person charged with crime but
found TO be insane is tried.
The woman for whom admission to the
hospital was asked killed her child by
drowning il in creek near New Provi-
dence, but was acquitted on the grounds
that she was insane. She was then tried
before a commission for lunacy, but the
preliminary questions were not asked since
The action of the commission was certified
by Judge Marsh
DR.. Edenharter says he has no desire to
be obstinate in the matter or to question
the authority of the Jacksonville court,
but that the questions referred to relate
to the history of the case and ii Is essential
that they be answered. He has informed
the clerk of Clark county that he would
be willing to admit the woman, provided
Spouse has yet been received to this prop
osition. Pending the contention Miss
Cooley is being held in the custody of the
sheriff of Clark county.
