And this answers the question why the Peking Gov- has placed an order for arms rmany. The Government is try- rd to make its imperial army as effective as possible in order to be able to suppress any revolt or riot that ight occur at any part of the empire. is a preparation for maintaining a permanent peace iIn the country, and not ‘for war against all the Western powe!

The facts he Shanghal riot may be briefly stated 'ollows: “According to the regulations for for- elgn settlements issued by the Peking | Government several years ago any Chi- nese woman arrested in a foreign settle- | ment should be kept in & Chinese prison, A Cantonese lady, wife of a Government officer, was arrested and tried in the mixed court. Before the case could have tirely different been finally decided the Chinese magis- | trate ordered, as usual, the prisoner to be kept in the prison of that courthouse. The British Appraiser, who sits on the bench with the Chinese magistrate, but who has, according to the treaty between Great Britain and China, no judicial pow- er over cases involving Chipese only, disagreed with the order, and without the | consent of the Chinese magistrate gave a contrary order to carry the Chiness wom- an to the British police prison. “The British Appraiser's order was | forcibly carried out. Next day, while the Chinese authorities were trying to secure redress diplomatically, the riot ocourred, but the mob was composed of only a num- ber of laborers and rascals, the Chinese gentry and the mercantile class of Shang- & | hal having nothing to do with this out- | rage WORK OF IRRESPONSIBLE MOB, “From these facts three points should be observed—first, the action of the Chi- nese magistrate was perfectly lawful ac- cording to the long-observed regulations; second, the British Appraiser had no right to interfere with the Chinese judicial or- der over Chinese persons within the Chi- nese territory; third, the riot was simply the work of a mob that took this occa- {sion as a chance of robbery, and was clearly not the action of the majority of | Chinese inhabitants of Shanghal, although their general feeling was strongly against | the encroachment by the British Ap- praiser. “It is clear, therefore, that the riot itselg was merely a local incident and had noth- ing to do with the national feeling of the people of the whole empire. “As to the boycott against American ‘ goods, there 1s, however, a certain amount of national feeling in the move- ment.

The negro was captured last night. He was suspected of being the one who at- tacked Sarah Gant, an 11-year-old school girl, yesterday. Page was identifled by the girl and when a Deputy Sheriff start- ed to the jail with him a mob overpow- ered the officer and took the negro. He was taken to the scens of the crime, where he made & full confession. The mob then stood him up against a tree and shot him to death, riddling his body with bullets. More than 500 shots wers fired. After the shooting & fire was kindled around the body of the negro and the mob remained until the body had been cremated. A military company ordered out by Governor Blanchard from Homer, La., reached the scene after the lynching. When it arrived the mob had dispersed. T AT CHAMPIO! LYNCH LAW. Former Embassador White Talks Upon Crime in United States. ITHACA, N. Y., Feb. 24.—Dr. Andrew D. White, former Embassador to Ger- | many and first president of Cornell University, addressed the students here yesterday on “High Crime In the United States.” He sald: “The number of homicides that are punished by lynching exceeds those punished by due process of law. When we consider that out of every forty-six | homicides committed in the United States only one murderer is legally punished, it is no wonder that peopls look somewhere else for the solution. “There is nothing more nonsensical or ridiculous than the goody-goody talk about lynching. Much may be said In favor of the quotation of the Englishman, Goldwin Smith: here are some communities in the United States in which their lynch law I have no sympathy for the criminal. My sym- pathy is for those who will be mur- | dered, for their families and for their children.” —_—————— Sues Attorneys to Recover Fees Paid.

It is for national right and dignity rather than for any- thing else. BOYCOTT IS MISUNDERSTOOD. “There are, however, more import- ant points regarding this question that should be carefully examined. First, the boycott has never been authorized by the Government; second, the boycott has never been carried out with any forcible or violent means. The Govern- ment has done nothing toward promot- ing the boycott. On the contrary, the Peking authorities have tried hard to advise the merchants to modify thelr disposition. But no Government in the world, however absolute it may be, has power to compel its subjects to buy goods from a certain country unless they are willing to do so. “No doubt this disagreeable movement has been started by those who had per- sonally suffered maltreatment under the exclusion law or rather under the regulations of the Chinese Iimmigra- tion service office. But there has been no sign of violence or force with which the boycott has been spread through several provinces. It is purely a volun- tary action of individuals. As long as there is no disturbance of peace, “boy- cott” has been considered as a legiti- mate movement by any civilized coun- try of the world. It {s a commercial design and not a warlike scheme. It is an individual action and not a national policy. “There is therefore no good ground upon which the recent alarming news is supposed to have been based. More- over, we have strong reason to believe and hope that such unwelcome move- ment will soon wane and disappeas when its true cause is carefully con- sidered and the difference settled. “T. Y.

Few People Know How Useful It Is in Preserving Heulth and Beauty, Nearly everybody knows that char- coal is ihe safest and most efficlent dis- infectant and purbier in nature. but few realize its value when taken Into the Human system for the same cleans- ing_purpose. Charcoal is a remedy that the more you take of it the better; it is rot a drug at all, but simply " absorbs the gases and impurities always present in the stomach and intestines and carries them out of the system. Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking, drinking or after eating onions and other odorous vegetables. Chgreoal effectually clears and im- proves the complexion, it whitens the teeth nnd further acts as a natural and | eminently safe cathartie. It absorbs the injurious ‘fue- ‘which collect in the stomach and bowels; it disinfects the mouth and throat from the poison of catarrh. All druggists sell charcoal in one form or another, but probably best charcoal and the most for t money is in Stuart’s Charcoal Lozen- ges; they are comgoud of the finest owdered Willow charcoal, and other armless antiseptics in tablet form or rather in the form of large, Pleasant tasting lozenges, the charcoal being mixed with honey.
