ASSISTANT UNITED STATES
DISTRICT ATTORNEY TALKS
In Inmates That Federal Government
Will Take Steps to Suppress
Drilling of Foreigners

Assistant United States District At
torney George McKeeby, who has
given more attention, perhaps, to the
laws governing the Chinese in this
country than any other local attorney,
and who has prosecuted over two hun
dred Cinnamon for being unlawfully
within the United States during the
last eight months and lost but one
case admitted yesterday that the
movements of the alleged "Chinese Re-
form Army" in this country are being
closely watched by government in
srectors.
"Our attention was called to this
matter when the Chinese formed mil
itary company in Los Angeles year
or more ago." said Mr.. McKeeby, land
since then we have been carrying on
searching investigation of the whole
affair. Just what our plans are for
dealing with the problem I am not at
liberty to state for publication at this
time. However, If one may judge from
the many rumors that are current.
from the standpoint of plain citizen,

the question will be sifted to the bot
TOM
Says Law Is Plain
The law is plain regarding the mo-
blization of foreign armies on Ameri-
can soil and if these different Chinese
military companies are being formed in
this country with the view of conspir-
ing against the present Chinese gov
ernment it is certain that our laws are
being violated most fiagrantly."
"Will you state whether the local Of
ficials under the direction of your office
have come into the possession of evil
dence that leads them to believe for
eign army is being drilled and equipped
for warfare on American soil?" was
asked Mr.. McKeeby.
TT is not customary for federal Of
ficers to discuss subjects of so grave
nature before some action Is taken,"
answered the assistant United States
district attorney, land for that reason
/ would prefer not to discuss this case
further at this time. However, will
say that the conditions surrounding
the formation of these Chinese COM
panies, together with their peculiar
manner of doing business. is regarded
by our Office as a most singular thing.
and / should not be surprised If their
methods are brought to a complete
explanation ere long"

ambitious Comrades in arms" had an
unseemly controversy during the visit
of Kong WI Wei to Los Angeles.
| The discussion by these military dig
nitaries were exploited in the local
press and the magnitude Of the Chinese
soldiery in the United States was a
question of boast. Private citizens
made remonstrance to the Washington
authorities and insisted that the maxi
ing of this country a drill ground for
foreign military forces was a disre-
gard of international treaties and a
dangerous precedent.
The press dispatches about the same
time recited that immense importations
of Mongolian COOLIES" into Mexico
amounted to a defeat of the Chinese
exclusion act.
Unique Question Arises
Says military authority.
"A very unique question arises in the
consideration of this issue. The excuse
for the existence of this armed force
in America is the avowed pretext that
they propose to overthrow the present
ruler of China and restore the power of
the deposed emperor. While no one
will doubtless consider this more than
pretext, yet what if it is accepted as
true? Many of these Chinese Soldiers"
are Americans by birth, consequently
they are citizens, and this fact natur-
ally prompts the query: Will citizens
of the United States be allowed to arm
and conspire against a friendly foreign
power?
1T will be remembered how Spain
made protest to the Cuban junta or
ganized in New York to promote the
Cuban rebellion in 1894. These were
unarmed and only giving diplomatic
and financial aid to the revolutionists
but the Chinese junta is armed and
drilling on American soil.
Talks of Treason
again, If these are Chinese subjects
are they not guilty of treason against
their country, and do not our treaty
Under either of these aspects the sit
uation is not only delicate but appall-
ing.
IF the party of the deposed Chinese
emperor is using United States ter
ritory as a drill ground and holding
out handsome inducements in the line
of salary to American military officers
to quit the service here and become
part of their army is it not an af-
front to the United States government
of the most serious type? The ap-
pearance of larger bodies of armed
militia from a foreign government must
have a sinister Significance, according
to those who have studied the present
conditions. and it is simply up to Uncle
Sam to be doing something"
Situation Is Complex
Said well known member OF the
National Guard Of California yester-
day. in discussing the question and the
possibility OF the Chinese troops here
being forced to disband:
Another interesting subject relevant
to this question is what will be done
with these is, 900 fine rifles II these COM
panies are disbanded? Will Uncle Sam
conhseate them. or will they remain in
the hands of the individuals? 1t is
claimed that these companies have been
duly chartered by the states as mill

Legal Adviser of Chinese Military

Attorney John York, with offices in
the Mason building. Fourth and Broad
way, who isO the legal adviser of the
local Chinese military men. contends
that his clients are students and that
the military feature is secondary in
their course of study.
"They have a regular school at the
armory." said Mr.. York, land receive
instruction every night. They includ-
ed the military feature because it gives
them discipline and serves to interest
them more in their studies. Since so
about Chinese drilling with firearms in
this country, the members of the local
military organization have removed the
fire caps from their rifles and now do
not think anything can be said against
their methods OF drilling"
According ito Mr.. York, the Mauser
rifles used by the local Chinese military
men were purchased from Springfield.
Mass, and he believes directly through
the Washington government.
Mr.. York's contention that the local
Chinese military men are students, as
construed by the federal statutes, does
not meet with the serious consideration
of the government authorities, II case
now pending before the local courts is
to be regarded. This is the case OF Linn

Linn Gin is now in the county jail

arrested by Chinese Inspector in

bles. He claimed TO be native born
and therefore out Of reach of the Chi
nese exclusion laws. This. however.
was disproved at his trial and it was
shown, according to Assistant United

Linn Gin had come here from China and
engaged in peddling. which the statutes
prescribe as ordinary labor and there

WHEN PEGGY STEWART
BURNED AT ANNAPOLIS
OBSERVATION OF THE DAY BY
PATRIOTIC MARYLAND SOCIE-
TIES ON YESTERDAY.

Baltimore, Md, Oct. 20.-Yesterdav
was the hundred and thirty-first ami
versary of the burning of Peggy Stew
art, a day dear to the heart of every
patriotic Marylander. The anniveI sary
has always been observed by the men,
bers of the various patriotic societies
all over the state, and this year the
societies Of Baltimore have made
special efforts to make the celebra-
ton impressive and memorable. The
most important feature of the day
will be the annual meeting of the
Maryland Society Sons of the Ameri-
can Revolution, this afternoon, follow
ed by a banquet in the evening. Gov
ernOr W~arfield, Mayor Timanus, Pres
ident George Gather of the city Oun
ell, and other prominent guests will
be present at the banquet.
The Baltimore Chapter of Daughters
of the American Revolution will hold
a special celebration at the Colonial
House. The program includes several
addresses, musical numbers and reci-
t%ations, followed by a reception.
The story of the burning of the
Peggy Stewart is one of the most in
| teresting in Maryland's history. The

apolis at a time when the feeling
against the taxation OF Great Britain
was very strong, and when it was an
nounced that the cargo of tea which
the vessel carried was subject to this
tax, the indignation became white hot.
A meeting of the citizens of AnuapO-
lis was held and the public was so
~incensed that it was only the act of
the owner of the ship, Alexander Stew
art, who set fire TO the brig with his
own hands, that appeased their indig-
nation. II is told that when Governor
Eden, the last of the Colonial govern
ors, who was in Annapolis at the
time, witnessed the burning Of the
ship from the window of the state
house, he exclaimed in surprise: why
that looks like rebellion!" Miss Du-
lany, a friend of the governors fam
lily, who was present at the time, said;
1T is rebellion-rebellion against ty-
ranny."

by the anarchist tribunal in Europe,
which is now believed to be in Rome.
The method taken by Mon Toy is char
acteristic of anarchism. He entered
the viceregal mansion, which Yuan
Shihkai's open-hearted policy has
made very ~approachable, and asked for
the vice. oy. Guards, suspecting the
mans motives, followed him into the
viceroy's presence, where he drew a
weapon, and, but for prompt inter
ference, might have carried o his
murderous design.
Struggling like a tiger, Mon Toy
was disarmed and taken to prison,
where he was ordered decapItated.
The viceroy, however, interfered in
behalf of his assailant, and modified
the sentence 10 1000 blows with a
bamboo rod, which Mon Toy handily
survived. Upon learning of his COM
mutation of sentence at the request of
the viceroy he had tried to kill, Mon
Toy was overcome with remOrse, and,
casting himself al Yuan Shihkai's feet,
swore fealty, and stated that he had
been driven into making the attempt
on his life. He could not be induced,
however, to betray the men who, as
he alleges, drove him to attempted
murder. beyond the statement that
they belong TO an organized body, and
have no connection with the Boxers.

CORRALLED BEHIND A HIGH

Tucson. Ariz., Oct. Is. 1905.

Tucson, Ariz, Oct. 10, 1905.
My Dear Mr.. Rodey;
was on hand to see the visiting
statesmen, but Murphy, Randolph &
Co. had a high board fence built
around them, and all we poor jointure
fellows could only peep through the
cracks like a lot of small boys at a
league base ball game.
But | got to Congressman Tawney
a full series of editorials from the
Arizona papers favoring j%olnture and
our people here at Tucson put in a
strong petition for statehood. The
ants are very indignant owe our bad
taste"
The ants %(office holders and special
interests) are a badly scared lot, and
are getting veIy ugly. They no longer
assume airs of amused cOndescension,
but are becoming b%elligerent. Instead
of laughing and jOshing the jointures
now, as they formerly did, they look
glum, and assure the friends of joint
ure that they have j%ointure beat IN
congress. We who favor jointure do
the laughing now, and ask them why
they are ,fraid to let the pGJple of
Arizona vote on the question. | am
glad to say that the Bisbee Daily
Miner has come out flat footed for
jointuIe, and 1t will do a world of
good. The friends Of jointure are
working in a few directions that will
have proper effect. The crowd that
brought this party Of congressman
here have kept them hedged around
so, that the iointures Of the territory,
who are numbered by the thousands,
could not get in evidence, as they
wanted to, The party was taken to the
mines of The Gntis, and no one was
permitted to be present anywhere that
the congressman were, if the ants
could help it. | firmly believe that a
good constitution under a Joint en-.
abling act, would carry in Arizona %
day-it certainly would after a short
campaign Of education That is why
the ants want the enabling act killed
in congress-they know the people
would favor IL.

the prosecutions in the long past Of

though throughout Japan a liberty
equal to that afforded by the United

He told of the remarkable work of
the American men sent to Japan under
