Down Boxers UPRISING.

Down Boxers Uprising.
Washington, D. c., Feb. 1O.-Secre.
tary Hay, with the presidents APPROX.
al, has practically decided that the
$22,000,o00 which China paid to this
country for the expense it was put to
in aiding in the suppression of the
Boxer uprising, will be returned to
China after the war. Mr. Hay fears
that If returned before. the end of the
war it might produce jealousy among
the neutral powers, which might af.
feet his plan for the preservation Of
China.
This governments total award in the
settlement of the Boxer trouble was
$24,000,000, of which 100000 was for
the payment of claims of citizens and
missionary societies and most of the
latter has been paid out
Mr.. Hay believes that the money
can be returned to China without a
special act of congress, and he consid.
ers that this country is not honestly
entitled to it, because it was spent in
protecting American citizens and their
rights from an uprising for which Chi.
ma was not responsible.

proceedings in eXtradition to be eff.

The decision simply reverses JUS
tice Caron's judgments and leaves
Greene and Gaynor under remand as
before Justice Caron interviewed.
History of the Case.
John F. Gaynor and Benjamin D.
Greene, were indicted in Savannah,
Ca, Dec. 8, 1899, charged with embez-
element and defrauding the United
States government together with Cap
tain Oberlin M. Carter, in the per-
formance of government contracts for
the improvement of the Savannah riv.
er and other river and harbor work
in that district, the illicit profits being
estimated at $2,000,000.
GaynOr and Greene were arrested in
New York. They contested extradi-
tion to Georgia and when the United
States commissioner decided that they
must go to that state and plead to the
indictments they fed to Canada. They
had been at liberty on $4,000 bail
each and this was forfeited. Efforts
to eXtradite Gaynor and Greene from
Montreal were progressing favorably
and the extradition commission was
sitting in Montreal when Gaynor and
Greene went to Quebec. A question
arose as to whether they could be
brought back and detectives kidnapped
them and took them to Montreal.
There was a big legal fight over this
action and a Quebec judge issued a
writ of habeas corpus which was
served on the jail at Montreal who de-
dvered up the, prisoner without notifl-
cation to the extradition tribunal and
permitted them to be rushed back to
Quebec. Efforts to quash the writ of
habeas corpus under which they had
been returned were denied by Justice
Caron. After a long legal controver.
sy, Gaynor and Greene obtained their
liberty within the limits of the prov.
ince of Quebec. The United States
government then appealed to the privy
council of England, the highest court
in that country.

OF logging operations, : as a whole, has been
