Woman Died Under Peculiar Cir
GumStaHGeS in Chinatown.
MAN PICKED UP NEAR HELLGATE
WITH A FRACTURED SKULL
AND YOUNG WOMAN FOUND
BOUND, GAGGED AND SENSE
LESS IN DOORWAY OF HER
HOME.

New York, Dec. 5.-Three of New
York's great highways, the river the
underground railway and the street
and that dark section known as Chi
natown, each furnish a police mystery
today. In two cases, the subway and
Chinatown. death had come between
the victims and the investigators. In
the first the police have only the man
gled body of a man who, before he
hurled himself before a rapidly NOV
ing train. had taken every precautiOn
to thwart the efforts of the officers TO
establish his identity His clothing,
Enthusiastically new, bore not a single
distinguishing mark, and not even a
trinket was found in any of the peck
cts The man was about forty years
of age weighing 10 pounds, was five
feet nine inches in height, had dark
hair and blue eyes and the scrupulOus
care with which he was dressed indi-
Gated that he was not a laborer. Be
yOnd these meagre details, however,
nothing is known. The man jumped
directly in front of a train as It swung
into the 137 street and Broadway sta
ton of the subway His body was liter
ally ground to pieces.
The Chinatown mystery was the
death of q woman, Lotto Lane, a
white woman whose husl I'D, a China
man, died short time ago. Since
then she has been living in Peu street
in the house Of Mock Duck, one Of the
most notorious Of the Chinese leaders
in New York. who is now under ar
rest awaiting trail on a charge Of muir

last night, a Chinaman and a white
man and a white woman During the
night these callers summoned a ply

hostess had tainted while she was en-
tertaining them. The physician who
found her dead when he arrived re-
garded the death as suspicious The
police put the three callers under ar.

Republicans in Conference.

The conference at the White House this
afternoon between the President and
leading republicans of the two houses OF
Congress is important. both for the bust
ness under consideration and for its gen.
eral suggestions. 1t signalizes not only
ar effort to agree upon line of policy for
the immediate future, but a desire to keep
the party together for all purposes A
new lease of power has been bestowed upon
the party by an unprecedented vote OF
confidence. And yet there are divisions of
sentiment in the party on several propo-
sitions. These must be healed If good
work is to be done, and wisdom dictates
that they should be healed before the
common enemy begins to take a hand.
The thing to do. if such thing is posi-
BILE. is to agree upon program before
the ball opens in Congress. and then ad
here to it strictly. If this is done success
is assured. The republicans have large ma
jorities now and will have larger ones in
the next Congress.
This procedure is by no means new de-
parture, but it may provoke the criticism
which was heard in previous cases. We
may be told that it violates the spirit of the
constitutional arrangement; that there
should be no fusing of the executive and
legislative branches in any such manner.
Let the President recommend only in the
manner prescribed by the Constitution, and
let Congress send to him such measures as
it has seen fit to frame without previous
agreements of any kind. But this is techni-
cal and fine spun 1t does not hold against
the obvious duty of majority government.
The country looks to the republicans for
legislation, and they should approach their
the country. and then of strengthening the
party. They are supposed to be anxious
for Endorsement at the polls next year.
Nothing is palmer more generally
recognized in political circles than that the
democratic party after It's great triumph
in 1892 injured both itself and the country
by failing to take this wise precaution
Mr.. Cleveland and the Congress which was
elected with him held no conferences, and
were never within gunshot of each other on
any proposition. Each complained of the
other. Mr.. Cleveland consulted with his
kitchen cabinet. and the majority of the
democrats in Congress wished him in Jer-
icho. The result was acrimonious confusion,
as to both the money question and the tar
III, with the republicans playing star
part in both controversies, and the demo-
cratic party going to pieces, and to defeat
which has lasted to this day. If the re-
publicans are studying that gigantic fzzle
as warning they are putting in time to
very good purpose
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1905-01-07

though we could hardly practice It In this
country, with an enterprising free press,
and a people educated in demand for
prompt and full particulars about all mat
tiers of public concern.
But, great as the real losses up to date
may be, it. is to be doubted If they infiu-
ence the calculation either at Tokyo or st.
Petersburg. They are known there only to
few. who are thoroughly committed to
the war. In Japan the whole empire is
gladly in the scale. All reports from that
country represent everybody from the
mikado down to his humblest subject, as
willing to see any price paid for success.
In Russia the bureaucrats who provoked
the struggle are still In control. and neither
human life nor treasure counts in their
eyes. To carry their point they would pile
Russian bodies mountain high.
An agency for peace. and maybe one of
the strongest. is the growing discomfort in
Russia. The little that is known there
among the rank and file about what is go
Ing on in Manchuria awakens no patriotic
response. The people cannot see that they
have anything in the game. Many of them
have to be driven to their military duty,
and probably those who respond without
being driven would be glad to escape it.
