Miller, United States Consul General at Newchwang, was among the distinguished passengers arriving on the steamship Mongolia vesterday, and during his short stay in this city he is living at the Palace.

At the outbreak of the Japanese- Russian war Consul General Miller fig- ured most prominently in the evacua- tion of Newchwang by the Russians and the occupation of the city by the Japanese.

When the Japanese began to arrive I performed a similar act for the Russian residents of the city and must say that the Japanese me and gave me every possible aid. CHINESE POLICE MUTINY. “The onfy battle we saw was the ar- tillery duel about sixteen miles from Newchwang, which lasted from July 22 to July 25. We got word that the Russians we; to withdraw from ing they.had all left. The next thing | we knew the 200 Chinese police of the city, wearing the insignia ‘Yim Kow’ (Russian police) on their coat sleeves, had destroyed their badges of office, openly mutinied and proceeded to loot the town. The first public buflding they attacked was the police station, “vhich they sacked from basement to roof, and then robbed other public buildings. Meanwhile a detachment of five Japanese scouts had ridden into the city and stationed themselves at the entrarice of the main public build- ing. They, however, were not in com- mand of an officer and refused to take charge, fully appreciating that they were not vested with authority. “The forcigners, however, organized a temporary government under my di- rection, arms and ammunition were distributed among them and we pro- ceeded establish peace within the city. This work was quickly effected with the aid of the Chinese guilds, and finally the coclfe police, after having had their coat sleevesdecorated with an- other insignia. ‘Jim Xow' (Japanese police). assumed a grave air and again took up their peaceful duties, guard- ing the very plages which they had previously robbed of everything that was valuable. “We could hear the sound of can- war proceeded, and particularly during the hattle of Kai Chow, twenty-five miles beyond Newchwang, but saw very lit- | hattle | Chinese On the night | 3¢ | haa discc | ture | 3 SOME OF THE INTERESTING PEO- I WHO ARRIVED YESTER- ON THE MONGOLIA. 18 —r > belligerents and learned little s of the strife.” N TO REFUGEES. © Consul-General Miller, as president of the International Red Cross and Refugee Aid Society, which was sup- ported mainly by the Chinese guilds of Shanghai, devoted much of his en- ergy to aiding Chinese in Manchuria, out of which country thousands of Chinese were sent during the early part of the war. In this work Miller said 1 night he was greatly assisted by tch and Irish Presbyterian mis- of the Orient, which loaned their physicians z hospitals.

SAYS KUROKI IS ALIVE. Captain Peyton C. March of the general staff of the United States army, one of the officers selected by the department to accompany the Jap- anese army in the field for the pur- pose of taking military observations, returned vesterday on the liner Mon- golia. Captain March brings absolute refutation of the report that General Kuroki was killed by a Russian shell. “In several of the reports I have seen,” said Captain March yesterday, “General Kuroki is said to have been killed on October 5. All the reports agree as to the date, so I suppose they are all children of the same original, and, I am glad to say, mistaken, ru- mor. I was with General Kuroki on that day and every day until I left the front, November 30, when I started for home. He is far from being dead. Although exposed on numerous occa- sions he sustained no hurt and is one of the healthiest men I ever met. Ku- roki is particularly keen and ener- getic. He inspires his officers and men with his own enthusiasm and his death would be a serious loss.” Captain March admires the Japan- ese infantry and has brought away - —-x- TO ADVERTISERS.

Its effect | was swift, and after a whispered con- | sultation the members of the board de- ! cided that it was best not to press the | question too far without looking the | ground over thoroughly, and an ad- journment until next Wednesday even- ing, the regular meeting night of the | board, was abruptly ordered. | When the commission met yesterday afternoon to proceed with the hearing | of the bitbery case Sergeant of Police | Jesse Cook was directed to serve sub- ipenas on Chin Kim You and Chim | Buck Guy, keepers of gambling places 'at 820 and 82012 Washington street, the raid of which places by Commissioner { Hutton resulted in the present investi- | gation. Cook found the two Chinese | without difficulty, and under authority ! of the subpenas informed them that he would forthwith remove them before ! the commission to testify. The Chinese ruled differently, how- ever. They demanded the right to tele- phone to Attorney George D. Collins, their legal representative, for instruc- tions. Sergeant Cook saved them this trouble by telephoning himself to Col- lins, informing him of the situation. ! “In the first place the’Police Comm # | | sion has no authority to issue subpe nas,” said Collins to Cook over the tel ephone, “and in the second place you Places Declare They Cannot | MRS, CHADWICK DENIED NURSE One Be Allowed to- Visit| Accused Woman in Jail STRICTLY ENFORCED She Sends Word to Paper in' | Pittshurg That She Does | Not Owe Any Banks There { CLEVELAND, Dec. 16.—Mrs. Chad- | wick will, from now until the time of her trial or arraignment in court, be | rigidly exciuded from all visitors and £ven her son and nurse will be denied permission to see her except on the written order of United States Marshal Chandler. | This afternoon an order was received at the jail by Sheriff Barry from Unit- ed States Judge Wing of Toledo, direct- ing Barry to deny all people the priv lege of seeing her. Barry at once or- dered that the nurse, Freda Swan- strom, who was then in the jail with | Mrs. Chadwick, to 'eave. This action | was in direct opposition tb an order of United States Marshal Chandlier jssued yesterday, in which he directed that Emil Hoover, the son of Mrs. Chad- | wick, and the nurse, should be admit- téd at any time to see the accused woman. | The order of Judge Wing put an | end to the enisodes at the jail and | Mrs. Chadwick's attorneys declared this afternoon that there would be no further developments in the legal end of the case until Mrs. Chadwick was brought into the court either for ar- Taignment or trial. M. F. Bramler, a wealthy contrac- tor, called on Mrs. Chadwick just prior to the receipt of Judge Wing's order, with Sheiden Kerruish, one aof Mr: Chadwick’s attorneys.

The Jap- anese, he says, have artillery much | inferior to that of the Russians, but }lhe daring of the little brown men more than made up for what their guns lacked in range. Captain March has many" friends’ | in San Francisco. His first visit here | was when he came through as colonel of the Astor Battery. He brought those curled darlings safelv home while the trouble in the Philippines | was still young. He returned to the Philippines later and rendered dis- tinguished service in some of the hardest campaigning seen in the isl- ands. America now has only two mil- itary representatives with the Japan- ese army. Colonel Crowder is with uroki and Major Kuhn is at Toklo waiting for the Japanese Government to send him to the front. J. Azevedo Castello Branco, Portu- gal’s representative at the Chinese cap- ital, was also on the passenger list of the Mongolia. Major Inagaki is a member of the | staff of Marquis Oyama, the command- er in chief of the Japanese army. From the beginning of the war he has been attached to General Kuroki's army and has been in two battles and many skir- mishes. Inagaki is a type of the best | quality of Japanese officers. Small of | stature, erect, alert and athletic, his | eves snap with enthusiasm when he | speaks of the struggle in which he took | part. He speaks volubly and with ap- | parent eagerness to tell all he knows, but he says little and answers direct | questions with a Japanese smile. Ina- | gaki has a fine record as a soldier and | is now on his way to London as mili- | tary attache to the Japanese embassy | there. A BLOCKADE RUNNER. | Thomas P. Dorris was mate of the | steamer Si Shan, of which Captain | Harry Struve, once commander of tne | transport Hancock, was skipper.

I have instructed my clients not to testify before the commission in this matter, and trouble will be avoided if you convey my message to the com- mission.” Sergeant Cook called a policeman to keep an eye on the Chinese and hur- ried to the rooms of the Police Commis- sion, where he laid the situation before them in whispers. The commission, Chief Wittman and Sergeant Cook continued their whispered consultation for some’ minutes, and then Hutton abruptly said, “The commission stands adjourned until next Wednesday night.” It was apparent that the Chinese had won their point but how the spec- tators did not know. As soon as the meeting adjourned Commissioner How- ell called on Attorney Colling for a further explanation of the stand he had taken regarding the subpenas. “It is my contention,” said Collins to Howell, “that the Police Commission has no power to enforce recognition of a subpena. In my opinion the Police Commisston has no power to punish for contempt for such disobedience of its did not reply. | PITTSBURG, Dec. 16.—In a tele- gram to the Pittsburg Dispatch Mrs. Cassie L.

The lawmakers will be asked to appropriate funds to build one or more institutions similar to those that have successfull combated tu- berculosis in Germany. A number of the Eastern States already have such projects under way, and the California Club has energetically taken hold of the good work in this State. In a circular that has been issued tc mandate; that it is a body of form |the public by the club it is set forth now brought this question to an is- sue. If you assume that you have such power you may cite me or one of my clients for contempt and we will carry the question to a decision. “Granting, however, that the Police Commission has the power to compel attendance at investigation regularly conducted, it would have no such pow- er in the present case, for the board is not proceeding legally. It must first make specific charges of bribery against some member of the depart- ment and then disclose facts as they may exist at the trial of the accused. In any event I shall Instruct my clients to continue to disobey your subpenas, and I am confident that T will be up- held if the question goes to the courts for decision.” % Howell made no attempt to break down the force of this argument and in consequence much interest attaches to | the rext meeting of the board, when it will define its stand on the issue thus raised. 17 MUST PRESE { HER DEFENSE NEW YORK, Dec. 16.—Without hear- | ing argument by the prosecution, which | had rested its case, Justice Vernon M. | Davis in the criminal branch cf the!

He was born in Chicago, he says, and attended school | there and in Washigton, D. C. His| mother’'s maiden name was Healy. CONSULTS HIS MIRROR. The man he knows as his father is Charley Kee, a full-blood Chinese em- ployed by this Government as an in- terpreter. Though Charley Kee brought him up, paid for his education and pro- vided him with money while in Hong- kong, whither he went to learn the Chinese language, Edward says that when he consults his mirror he has grave doubts as to whether Charley is really his father. Young Kee's appearance would seem to confirm his suspicions. There is no apparent trace of Mongolian ancestry, either in his features or hair, and in speech, manner and ideas there is enough of Young America to give force to his comment, “I was a sucker to spring that Chinese passport at all. Nobody would have been a bit the wiser if I'd kept my mouth shut.” Edward wants to reach Chicago by Christmas. “I'll stay on bhoard to- night,”” he said, “and if they don’t let me land to-morrow I'll go re any- way. If they arrest me they'll have to show why. I'm an American, and I'm going home for Christmas.” , & THE ORICINAL ever served they ADVERTISEMENTS. Baked Beans.
