The children. with consent OF their
mother. went TO the lake at o o'clock
and shortly before noon, Tootsie, n
iour-year-old daughter OF Mrs Fortune.

That her brother and sister had hid and

CHINESE THREATEN UNCLE SAM.
iII-WIiI Of -Four Hundred Million Pee
pie Result Of Exclusion Law.

Mexico City.-The most aggressive
utterance that has come from the pen
of Chinese concerning the United
States exclusion act Is a document
written by Kong Yu Wei, the leader
OF the Chinese reform movement. who
recently left this city for New York.
The letter was written to President
Roosevelt. seeking to enlist the Pre3i-
dents aid In revision of the present
laws. Just before leaving the city
last week Kong Yu Wei gave to the
Daily Record, an afternoon paper pub
authorized its publication today. Mr..
Kong says:
Too rigid enforcement of the ex-
clusion laws have brought about the
iIl-will of 100000 people. A united
| Chinese nation will seek to assert its
rights and avenge its wrongs. Its
anger will be vented in ways that
dread to think of.
''rhe time will come when a small
spark will start an uncomfortable con-
fiagration and the friendly ties be-
tween our people be severed beyond
remedy. Americans have been wont
TO condemn Russian cruelty toward the
Jews. How much more humane has
been Americas treatment OF the Chin
| ese?
Can civilized America reconcile
such treatment of their fellow crea-
lures with divine law? Courtesy and
kindness should be reciprocal, but
what a difference between the treat
ment Americans receive in China and
that accorded Chinese in America"
Among the notifications he sug'
gests to the exclusion law is the abol'
ishment of the Objectionable features
of identification, such as the photo
graph and the body marks; that no re
striction as to ports of entry be made
that certificates issued to Cinnamon
by Chinese chambers of commerce and
indorsed by American consuls should
entitle Chinese to free entry. He asks
that the same laws apply in the Phil
ippines and Hawaii.

EX-GOVERNOR PEABODY ON THE
TRIAL.
Gays He Thinks Haywood Jury Com.
posed Of Very Intelligent Men.

Denver.-Former Governor James II.
Peabody. back from the trial of VIII
liam ID. Haywood at Boise. was at the
Brown Palace hotel recently.
"They did not keep me on the stand
long" declared the man against whose
life Harry Orchard swore he plotted. d
az was there of course only to
answer such questions as were asked
me, and was rather surprised both at
the brevity Of my examination by the
prosecution and by the defense.
"My judgment is that Orchard was
telling the truth when on the stand,
from what know and what gathered
while in Boise but the outcome of the
trial is something as to which do not
think ! care to make any prediction.
My best judgment is, however. that
theer is a good jury in the case. 1
looked the men on this jury over care
fully. and my impression is that they
are set of men that will do their best
to bring in what they think is a proper
decision.
"It is a coincidence. at least that
since the fight on the Western Fedora
fion OF Miners and the arrest and con-
finement of the leaders there has been
no cries of crimes of violence in min
ing localities and elsewhere such as
there was while was governor"
The governor said he was glad to
have been ut the trial. and from what
he had seen Of the rulings OF the judge
in the case he thought that the judge
was doing the best he could to give
both sides free hand and fair trial.

japanese Are OIsausted.

Tokio.-The report from Washing
ton attributing the proposed sending
of sixteen battlcships to the Pacific
coast to Admiral Dewey's private plan,
is generally disbelieved here by those
whose knowledge and experience en-
title their opinion to some attention.
The United States is not known 10
possess naval bases in the Pacific ade-
auate for such purpose and the impress.
sion prevails that the sending OF 50
large a squadron where sufficient rem
devious does not exist would simply
mean that the vessels would be au
easy prey to torpedo boats and destroy
ers.
Should sixteen battleships be so EN-
ployed as to disprove this impression
record.breaking naval feat Will have
to be accomplished.
Seoul.-Inquiry shows that general
disgust is the main effect among Japn-
nese here as result of the conspiracy
In sending Korean deputation TO The
Hague, the telegraphic disclosures OF
which INTERRUPTED the Korean En-
peror's profuse assurances to Marquis
ito of his confidence in him and his
reform plans and especially his sup
posed ardent desire for sincere or
ganization of the Cabinet. Marquis Ito
is greatly disappointed and must now
proceed in face of the Emperor's In
trigue which has falsely elated a large
section of the upper classes who are
now anticipating miracle In Korea.
Measures intended to rid the palace
of foreign and native mischief makers
md adventures were introduced by
the Japanese in the Cabinet last Mon
iay. but Marquis Ito despairs of saw
ing the Emperor himself and the ad-
ministration is disposed to confine It's
appeal to the people. Although lto's
administrative machinery is incapable
of administering justice to the Korean
people. Japan has executively and in
the matter of creating base OF opera
tions and establishing highway to
Manchuria, been strikingly successful
In Korea.
MARQUIS Ito declared that 1t would
require ten years to produce mod
ern government in Korea. while local
governors say that 1t will take three
years to dispose of the abuses and out
RACES resulting from the contact OF the
Koreans with the Japanese. The lat
ter are estimated to be now 10O,Ooo
strong in Korea.

Killing Men by Thousands.

Tapachula, Mexico.-It is learned
that more than one thousand men have
suffered death in Guatemala the last
few months for alleged unfriendliness
toward the Cabrera administration.

More wholesale arrests OF men OF
rrorinence have lust been made at
the instance Of Cabrera In many
cases the prisoners are men OF wealth
and prominence In professional and
business circles in the country.
Late arrivals from Guatemala report
that Dr. Flores, one Of the men SEN
fenced to death for alleged compliclty
IN the recent plot to kill President Ca
brera, Is brother Of Oleganto Flores

Guatemala refugees here think the ex-

pian,. Practice What He Preached.

Utica. n. Y.-The Rev. Philip u.
Peabody, sleek appearing clergyman.
aged forty-two, native of Batavia.
New York, but recently engaged in
missionary work in Colorado and Wyo-
ming, preached in two local Episcopal
churches Sunday, and his eloquence
and general dignity made such pro-
found impression that Bishop Olmsted
set about arranging to have him sup
ply various pulpits in this Episcopal
diocese during the vacation period.
Tonight the Rev. Mr.. Peabody is a
prisoner at Utica jail, serving a term
of six months at hard labor for the
crime of larceny, which he confessed.
1t is said he has swindled religious
bodies and merchants from the Attain
tic to the Pacific coast.
BY profession the REV" Mr.. Pea,
body is clergyman, also trained
nurse, but he doesn't work the for
mer business, excepting when 1t be-
hooyes him to ingratiate himself with
those whom he would pluck. Then he

When he came to Utica with his wife
a couple Of weeks ago he produced Gre
dentials, which at the time appeared to
bear out his story of being clergy
man In the East for change OF scenes
and he quickly ingratiated himself into
the condolences of the local ministers.
But 1t was not long before he had some
transactions that were not in his favor
and investigation proved him to be an
imposter.

The condition of the stage horses on
