ENPRESS WEETS |cARR POWERS' DEMAND Now Issues a Decree for the Protection of Christians, AR T e Punishment Probably Has Already Been Meted to Guilty Chinese Princes and High Dig- nitaries. Fl R Special Dispatch to The Call. IDENTITY PEKING, Feb. 24.—In addition to the decree ordering the punishment of digni- taries who were implicated in the anti- foreign rixing the Dowager Empress fs- sued another decree, which is satisfac- tory to the ‘finisters, ordering that there be posted thooughout the empire notices of suspension of civil service examina- tions wherever Christians are not pro- tected by the officials. The only ques- tions now remaining for settiement are those relating to indemnities and the withdrawal of the military. Full credit must be given to Field Marshal Count von Waldersee for bringing about the present promising condition of affairs. No matter how distasteful his methods have been to people who do not approve of the malled fist policy it is that policy | that has sent the Chinese Government to | its knees and brought about compliance with the demands of the powers as pre- sented through the Ministers. Tt is presumed that the suicides ang executions ordered in the edict of the Dowager Empress occurred to-day. Hsu Chang Yu ana Kih Siu, two officials who are prisoners in the hands of the Japan- ese, and who are included in the puunish- ment edict, will be executed on Tuesday. The delay in putting them to death ‘is not due to the Chinese. The question of indemnities is bound to be long drawn out. Judging from re- cent developments your correspondent is Wwarranted in stating there 1s little like- 1ihood of the total demand r‘nminf within $300,000,000 . which Sir Robert Hart, di- imperial maritime customs, says China can pay.

The Journal's Washington speclal says: While it has been officially announced | trhat Minister Conger is coming home os- | tensibly on a three months’ furlough, it iz understood that the leave is no doubt | practically a resignation, growing out of differences between the Minister and the Government, and that Mr. Conger will not return to China.

M.— Presindent David Starr Jordan was ig- terviewed this-evening concerning the re- port of the Eastern economists as to the merits of the dismissal of Professor Ross from Stanford University last November. He said: “The statement of Messrs. Seligman, Farnam and Gardner s not, s might be inferred from the newspapers, the report of an authorized committee of the Ameri- can Economic Association. If we are cor- rectly informed, this body declined to ap- point a committee of investigation. These three gentlemen form a seif-constituted committee, or represent only a minority of this association. ““The facts at their disposal were none other than those already made public by Professor Ross and his friends, and the attitude they hoild in regard to these mat- ters is evidently that of partisans. It may be regretted that they did nat see fit to publish the letters which they obtained from the president and the committee at Stanford."” The following is the last communication sent by the president and states the chief essential facts in the whole affair: Office of the President Leland Stanford Junior ad University.

JAMES J. CORBETT'S DEBUT IN VAUDEVILLE Relates Incidents in His Career Up to the Time of the Carson Fight. NEW YORK, Feb. 24 —James J. Cor- | bett made his debut on the vaudeviile stage this afternoon at a performance given by the White Rats at the Academy | of Musfe. It was not his first appearance on the vaudeville stage, for on Saturday night, accompdnied by many of his friends, he journeyed to South Norfolk, Conn., to “try his act on the dog.” He chose for his debut a comparatively short | monologue. This he had apparently Jearned verbatim, and there was every indfeation that he had studled long and |hard to master the most authoritative pronunciations of some of the unusual | Words which were included in his effort. It was chiefly stories of himseif, from the time he met Sullivan to Carson City. To-night Corbett was remarkablv free from nervousness. Indeed, he seemed to enjoy the sitmation, and the few guying remarks that were hurled at him from the gallery he treated either good naturedly or with disdain. e S1YLE THE PRESIDENT EMPEROR WILLIAM T TOPEKA, Kans.,, Feb. 24—Senators Noftzger and Smith, Republican floor | jeaders, have drafted a concurrent reso- Jution providing for the final adjourn- ment of the Legislature.

Solts, whose body was found in Lake Merritt this morning, robbed and murdered? The ques- tion is put by relatives of the young man. Solts left his home at 719 Tenth street Saturday morning, ostensibly, according to his distracted mother, Mrs. A. A. Solts, to go to the Southern Pacific yards at West Oakland, where he was employed as a painter. He took his lunch with him, as was his custom. The body now turns up in Lake Merritt, and there is none who can explain how the young man came to his death. 1 All that was found on the body was a whisky flask, marked B. Gallagher, and $2.in money. The relatives of Solts insist ness, come from weak braced up, strengthened, he left home, and that has disappearéd.
