Mr. Fos ter has lately returned to the United State: from a trlp around the world, during which he spent some time in China.

The impression here seems to be that the Japanese troops are concentrated at New Chwang, which the Chinese forces have reecntly vacated. The victorious army will continue its march to Peking. The ques- tlon of an armistice pending an agreement as to the terms of peace, will depend on the powers which the Chinese ambassadors possess. 1f they are simply pleaipoten- tlarles ad referdum, and thelr recom- mendations have to be sent back to China for approval or disapproval, a long time necessarily must elapse beofre terms of peace can be concluded. If on the other hand, they are conclusive, and the action of its representatives binding on China, then Japan will be disposed to grant large con- cesslons in the matter of a suspense of hos- tlities. Minister Kurino of Japan said today the published statement that General _John W. Foster's selection as the representative of China 11 the peace negotiations has the ap- proval of the Japancse government grew out of & misapprehension. Mr. Kurino views the mission of General Foster as a private affair, Wholly between him and China. The minis- ter does not think it calls for an expression of approval or disapproval from him or his government, Personally, he has never thought of protesting or objecting to the ap- pointment, as he recognized China’s right to B0 where she chooses to select a confidential officer. The attitude of indifference, he said, has apparently led to the erroneous conclu- slon that he has officially sanctioned the cholce of General Foster. The minister says the selection of a private American citizen as China’s adviser will in no way affect the peace negotiations. HOW IT IS VIEWED IN ENGLAND. LONDON, Dec. 28.—The Westminster Ga- zette says: It Is generally believed that America took more than a kindly concern in the affairs of Corea.

Then China was jealous, and that China now seeks the aid of the United States 18 one of those curious transformations of these times of whirligls.

Chang Yin Huen Is president of the board of the revenue, a member of the Sung Li Yamen and was Chinese minister to Washington a few years ago. Shao Yaoe Lien is viceroy of the proy- ince of Huan. He was formerly governor of Formosa, and while occupying that post he offered a reward of about $10,000 for the destruction of a big Japanese warship, and for the destruction or capture of a small warship of Japan he offered about $6,000, But, not content with this, he offered a further schedule of rewards to be pald to the Chinese who took Japanese soldiers or sailors dead or alive. for the head of a Japanese officer 200 taels were offered, and for the head of a Japanese private 100 taels Wwae the reward.

SANTA ROSA, Cal, Dec. 25.—Santa Rosa had the biggest sensation in its history today. The county treasury was robbed of nearly $8,00 and County Treasurer Stofen wag left insensible in the vault by the robbers to suffer death, who locked the door to the vault on him. The robbery occurred 9 o'clock this morning, but was not discovered until about § o'clock this afternoon. All this time County Treasurer Stofen lay on the floor of the vault gasping for breath, fearing every moment, during consclous intervals, would be his last. Had it not been for the timely arrival of his wife, the only person in town who knew the combination, he would have been dead, She had been at Cloverdale, and on her re- turn here about 4 o'clock, learned that the treasurer had not been ' home to dinner. The children said that they had taken his dinner to him and left it in front of the office, but that they could not get in. Mrs, Stofen, suspecting something wrong, rushed down 'to_the office, which Is on the south corner of the court house and adjoining the sherift’s office. The door was locked, but with the aid of the janitor she opened the dnor, “Between the front part of the office and ‘the treasurer’s front office is a wicket gate. This also was locked, On going inside Mrs. Stofen found her fear realized. On one desk was her hus- band's coat and hat. On the floor, In con- fusion, were money trays on which the treasurer carried money from the vault which s in the rear of the office, to his desk in the room. About that time a falnt knocking was heard from inside the vault, Mrs, Stofen cried out that her husband was in the vault and that she could save him if she could remember the combination, The first time she tried she failed owing to her great excitement. Next time, realizing that her husband’s life depended ‘upon her cool- ness, she was more successful, and the big n' doors of the vault slowly swung. Treasurer Stofen was found on_the floor of the vault unconseclous, the safe door was open and most of the money removed, “Treasurer Stofen, as soon as he reyived, said he opened up 'the office as usual about County stand by much longer and see their rights taken away. The national executive committee at this point presented a resolution adopted by it to the effect that it deemed it inexpedient for the conference to adopt an address to the people, but that the proper procedure would be for the conference to present its views fo the national central committee, they to present them, in such form as seemed best to them, to the public; also that National Chairman Taubeneck had better not remain in the chair. A report upon rules and order of business was presented, providing a reg- ular form of procedure in consonance with the resolution of the exccutive committee. After ‘some debate both reports were ace cepted and the conference proceeded to elect General J. B. Weaver temporary presiding officer of the conference, with W. D, Vincent of Kansas and Milton Park of Texas as sec~ retary and assistant secetary. After a short recess to permit state dele. gations to confer upon the matters to be presented by each, the roll of states was called for the introduction of such resolu- tions, ete. By Alabama (Delegate Adams) a resolu- tion requesting the United States senate to aflopt Senator” Allen’s resolution of Decem-. ber 19, 1894, for the appointment of a com- mittee to ascertain whether Alabama’s people are living under a republican form of gov- ern. Rules were suspended and the resolu- tion was adopted unanimously. Arkansas, ~California, Oregon, Colorado, Georgla, Idaho and Indiana reported progress in the advancement of populist principles and the spokesmen in general remarks insisted upon the conference standing strictly by the Omaha platform. Illinols’ spokesman, Mr. Lord of Chicago, in addition to an insistence upon the princi- ples of the Omaha platform, presented reso- lutions adopted by the populist city centrnl committee of Chicago, denouncing the recent imprisonment of E. V. Debs and others in Chicago as an invasion of the right of trial by jury; also a series of resolutions prepared by Hon. Lyman Trumbull of Chicago, de- nouncing the use of regular troops in the Chicago labor disturbances last summer as a military invasion; declaring the use of regu- lar troops a forcing of freemen to oppress others in behalt of monopoly; denouncing the issue of interest-bearing bonds in time of peace; demanding the free coinage of sil- ver at the ratio of 16 to 1, and insisting that monopolies bearing public rights should ba owned and operated by the government. A recess until 7 p. m. was thenstaken, After the evening recess the conference resumed the call of states for expressions of opinion with regard to the best policy for the party to pursue. For Towa, General Wea- ver responded, urging his well known finan- clal views and asking that the fight of the next two years, until the national election, be made upon the Omaha platform In its en- tirety, with financial reform well to the front. Recurring to the resolution introduced in behalf of the central people’s party commit- tee of Chicago, the conference suspended the rules and passed unanimously the denunci- ation of the imprisonment of Eugene V. Debs, George W. Howard and others, as an invasion of the rights of freemen to a trial by jury. Some little debate was induced by a phrase therein referring to Judge Woods as ono “whose record is a stain upon the Judiciary,” but an effort to strike it out falled and the resolutions passed. Commissioner Breidenthal of Kansas de- manded adherence to the Omaha platform The same line was taken by spokesmen for the states of Kentucky, Louisiana, Massa- chusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont, Minne. sota, Mississippl, Missouri, Montana, Ne- braska, Michigan, New Jersey, Ohio, Okla- homa, ' Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Texas, Tennessee, Virginla, Wisconsin, Connecticut 9 o'clock, As he was carrying one of the|and New York, after which the conyention trays with ‘money from the vault. a tall | took a recess until omorrow morning, man, In his stocking feet, stepped into the | “ %[00 QUL fomortow morning. door’ of’ the vault and with uplifted dagger [ \ At § PRBIAL \ .

Streep, in his testimony before the Xow commission vesterday, sald he had written to the president early in last July was received at the executiye mansion about July 15, and without It being called to the attention of the president, was in the regu- lar course of business sent to the Depart- ment of Justice, as it contained, among other things, allégations of a very serious character against United States District At torney John Mott, and for the further rea- son that it related to an application for a pardon ¢n behalf of Streep. The letter cov- ers about five pages of closely written letter DAPEr, and agrees subStant'ol y with Streep's testimony. e declares he hus been perse- cuted for five 15 by Anthony Comstock; that his trial was a mockery of justice, and that Comstock and Mott = have received bribes of money for protecting green goods men. Comstock and Mott, he says, each re- ceived §1,000 at the beginning of the trouble and that'for a long time Comstock received $1,000 per month from the same source, Strezp said in his letter that he did not ask for a pardon from the president, nor any interference further than his inflience in obtaining a new trial before Judge Bene- diet, whom he believed to be an honest man who would do him justice,- This letter was presumably sent to the Uniited States attor- ney at New York, for within ten days after \ts peceipt at the ‘Department of Justice the United States attorney returned to the de- artment Mr. Comstock's reply — thereto, Chis letter i3 even longer than Strecp's and makes o general and particular denial of the charges made, Whether or not these letters will be sent to New York to be used before the Lexow committee 18 not stated, but it is presumad they will be, and they will be forwarded at once, —_——— SUSTAINED JUDGE DUNDY, Deadwood Bar Assoctation Resents an In- sult Offered the Omahu Jurlst, DEADWOOD, Dee, 28—(Special Tele- gram)—Judge Dundy convened United States court this afternoon for the purpose of hearing the motions and setting cases for the February term, The aswmbers of the bar were present.

Two Sticks' eyes began to protude, his tongue loll out and his limbs tremble. In another minute his effort to kill himselt would have been successful and Marshal Peemiller would have been relieved of an unpleasant duty. When the death watch and spectators real- ized what was going on a rush was made for the desperate Indian. The strap was pulled from the gratp of Eagle Louse and the marshal and his deputies were soon struggling about the narrow corridor in an endeaver to loosen the band, which was slowly strangling the old Indian to death. It was a desperate struggle, but numbers prevailed, and Two Sticks was forced to postpone his departure until a few minutes later. WENT SINGING TO THE SCAFFOLD. Cords were ‘securad, the Indian’s arms were plnfoned to his side and the march to the scaffold taken up. He had regained all his courage, which for several days had been at a low ebb, and with a song of deflance of the powers of death upon his lips, fol- I‘nw_d Mflb@!. to the scaffald. If he A “he did’ not show it, and the smile upon his face was too natural, his laugh too hearty, and his voice, when raised In the song of death was without a quiver. He gre:ted all he met on his last journey Wwith a laugh and a “‘How." The trip to the scaffold was a short one, but it was a high structure, and the platform could only be reached by means of a long flight of stairs. Up these steps, without assistance, the old brave finally walked, and took his stand upon the step without a tremor. When his eye caught the dangling noose which hung but a few inches above his head, he gazed at it for a moment, )zlrundled, “Washta,” (good) and laughed aloud. The straps which bound his legs were soon adjusted, and the warrior began a short speech to the people who had assembled to watch the execution. This was soon finished and then the wild, wierd notes of the death song Tose upon the air, but not a tremor was in the volce that uttered them. Even after the black cap had been adjusted and the knot tightened, their cadence rose and fell within the scaffold yard. HIS NECK WAS BROKEN. At 10:37 the trap was sprung and Two Sticks’ body, his neck fractured, hung dang- ling at the end of a rope, There was no excitement. The rumored Invasion of a band of Indians to rescue him from the law’s vengeance proved to be a myth. There was no need of an armed force to attend his exccution. The officials did their duty, and did it well. Two Sticks' neck was broken by the jerk which stopped his fall. He will be buried here, This is the second legal exccution that has taken placa in Deadwood, both under the auspices of the United States. TWO STICKS' BRUTAL CRIME. The crime for which Two Sticks suffered the death penalty was committed on Feb- ruary 2. 1893, On the evening of that day R. Royce and E. M. Bennett, cowboys in employ of Humphrey & Stenger, meat con- tractors, were entertaining, in their dug-ont on ‘Trail creck, on the Sioux reservation some thirty miles from Pine Ridge agency, two other cowboys named J. Bacon and Willlam Kelley, who had arrived during the after- noon in search of a stray bunch of cattle that had escaped from a herd farther down the river. It belng too late to return that day, the visitors were invited to spend the day at the dug-out. About 9:30 Two Sticks and his two sons, Kill the Two, and Fight With, accompanied by White Face Horse and First Bagle, came to the dug-out, rapped on the door, and werc admitted, They grunted out ‘the usual “How' and arrayed themselves around the stove. The cowboys furnished them with tobacco, with which they made cigarettes, and treated them ho; pitably. When the Indians got through smoking they turned to leave the place. Suddenly they wheeled and began firing at the whites with their Winchester rifles, killing all four of them fnstantly. They then returned to their camp, which was lo- cated two miles down the river. The next morning they took down thelr tepees and moved fifteen miles further from the agency. The bodies of the murdered young men were not discovered until the next after- noon, when an Indian polic:man, happening along, noticed the deserted appearance of things about the premises, looked into the dug-out and discovered the corpses strewn bout the floor. He immediately started for Pine Ridge agency and notified the agent, who sent out a squad of Indian police to look for the guilty parties, They came across Two Sticks and his party, and find- ing the dead men's properiy in their posses- sion, proceeded to arrest them, when the In- dians resisted and a pitched battle e which resulted in the killing of First White Face Horse escaped badly wou and rode his horse 200 mi.es north to § ing Rock agency, where he was arrested by a deputy marshal six months later. His leg had to be amputated shortly after his ar- rival at the agency. Two Sticks, Kill the wo and Flght With were arrésted and turned over to the authorities at Deadwood ‘Phelr cases were presented to the grand jury at Sioux Falls, and they were indicted April 5, 1893. The witnesses before the grand jury were Bear Louse, Henry Paire, Young-Man- Afraid-of-His-Horse, Sitting Bear, Louis Manard, No Flesh and others, OTHERS GIVEN LIGHT SENTENCE The first case to be tried was that of Kill the Two, whose trial occurred at the fall term at Deadwood before Judge Bdgerton The Indians had practically admitted the crime, but when they were put on the stand to testity they all became suddenly dumb, and nothing could be gotten from them. There belng no direct evidence, the judge directed the jury to elect a foreman and bring in & verdici of not gullty. The jurymen put their heads togetber and refused to do it. ' Burns had warrant_a_commutation torney Miller replied case for hanging. Two Sticks was 62 years old, weighed 165 pounds and was 5 feet 4 inches in height. He gained fifteen pounds during his incarcer- ation, and did not seem to worry over his fate. He was the second Indian ever exe- cuted by judiclal authority in the Dakotas, the other one being Brave Bear, who was hanged at Yankton twelve years ago. — e FORTY BURNED TO DEATH. of sentence. that At- it was a clear Fearful Accident at a Christmas Fostival In Uregon, KLAMATH FALLS, Ore, Dec. 28.—News has just reached here that a most horrible holocause occurred at Silver Lake, Lake county, Ore., on Christmas evening, in which forty-one were burned to death and sixteen badly injured, five of whom will die. A large crowd had assembled in Chrisman Bros. hall to attend a Christmas tree festival. While the festivities were at their height, some one climbed on a bench, from which point he ex- pected to get .a better yiew of what was going on. In doing so his head struck a lamp hanging from the ceiling, overturning it. The oil immediately caught fire and every- thing in the room being dry and of an in- tiammable nature, the room was s00n a mass of flames. Some one shouted: “‘Shut the door and keep quiet; it can be put out.” By this time the confusion was so great that people began scrambling in a wild en- deavor to reach the door. Women and chil- dren were trampled under foot, and as there was only one exit to the hall, and the fire being between the majority of the crowd and the door, many people rushed headlong into the flames.

Campbell retorted that too often;" that those low rates were mate ters of business; that the shippers of Iowa had to do business In competition with them, and that the commissioners were required by law to take them into consideration in fixing the lowa rates. Campbell was followed by S. F. Prouty, who also represented the jobbers, and mai tained that the railroads had not proved that the present Towa rates were not remunera- tive. He also clalmed the railways had not proven that the rates in other states were higher than in Iowa. E. P. Ripley, third vice president of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul rallway, spoke at some length for the railways, He said this was not the first time the railways had asked for an increase in rates, and be- cause the times are hard was no reason why the request should not be granted. The rail- ways had been able to endure the rates for b: six years, but were no longer able to endure them. He entered a general denial of most of the arguments made by the representa- tives of the shippers. ——— FLORIDA ORANGE OROF DANAGED, 3 they were ‘“forced Snow Fell at Tallaliassa, Florida, Acoonds patued by Freezing Weather, JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Dec. 28,—orida is experiencing the coldest weather it has seen since 1886, with the merucry register- ing 16 degrees.
