HE CRITICISES ROCKHILL
Minister Accused of Bad Judgment
in Proposing Return of Boxer In
demnityJapan Has XovEvIl
Designs, Says Mr; Hull.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 21. Chairman
Hull, of the military affairs committee.
In presenting the Army appropriation
bill to the House today, urged the ne
cessity of complete preparedness, as to
our Army and Navy, for trouble In tho
Orient. He declared that any nation
not prepared to defend its position in
China might as well haul down its flag:
and quit the Pacific Incidentally. Hull
pronounced Minister Rockhill at Pckln
guilty of indiscretion In Indicating to
Chinese omclals that 'the United States
intended returning the 20,000.000 ster
ling Boxer Indemnity paid. Statements
of thl kind, he said, will bo taken by
the Chinese as an indication that the
United States is afraid rather than lib
eral. JIulI scouted the idea that Japan was
interested in stirring up trouble in
China to Injure the United States. Jap
an's interests in China, he said, were
Identical with those of the United
States, and preservation of peace there
was the only manner in which they
could be maintained.
Speeches on tariff. Immigration and
the Payne customs-house bill consumed
the rest of tho day.
The bill carries a total appropriation
of $69,678,027, which is less y 51.521,
1S than the amount asked for by the
department
Be Heady to Fight in Orient.
Hull made an interesting digression
to the situation In China to emphasize
his position that the lighting arms of
the Government the Army and Navy
should be kept in efficient condition to
meet all emergencies. He hoped no
trouble would come, "but there exist
today conditions in the Orient that
make it necessary for us to preserve
our prestige, our power and our rights,
even to the extent of being ready to
fight tor them."
In this connection. Hull read a news
paper dispatch from Pekln, which had
been sent .from the Orient and which
hft vouched for as "entirely accurate,'
which rave an account of an interview
between Minister Rockhill and Mr. Ka
Tunc-, nresldent of the Wal WU iu
Hull said that, according to this dis
rmtch. Rockhill reminded the Chinese
dfflcials that the United States intended
to return the 20,000,330 sterling, its
tiart of the Boxer indemnity. Hull char
acterized these utterances on the part
of Mr. Rockhill as "injudicious."
Censure for Rockhill.
"I do not believe that the representa
tive of this Government had a proper
coneeDtion of the character of the Chi
nesft neonle." continued Hull, "when
he offered them a "bribe of 20.000,003,
or whatever the United States' share of
the Chinese indemnity may nave nceu,
to be good. They arc people that, in
mv iutiirmfi'nt- would take any such or
f er as that as an indication of our being
rather more afraid or tnem man otner
wise. And it seems to me that a man
occunvlng his position should liavc let
whatever information was necessary
come from the Government of the
United States, and not given It to the
newspapers.
Japan Not Causing Trouble.
Hull said he had been informed ex
tenslvcly of the Chinese situation. He
mori n lnnirthv letter, whose authorship
he declined to divulge, which rebutted
the idea that Japan was causing trou
ble in China. Hull indorsed this view
and also the proposition in the letter
that the Boxer indemnity ought rather
to be used to build battleships for the
ITnlted States than be returned to
China. Hull pointed out that it was
decidedly to the interest of Japan to
preserve order in China in order to re
tain her own markets in that country.
China, he said, was passing through a
transition from ancient to modern civ
ilization, "and. while that Is going on,
every government that has business, re
lations with her must be ready to pro
tect itself or else pull down its flag,
leave the Pacific Ocean and destroy its
Touching on the subject of disarma
ment, Hull remarked that the time
ought to borne when the lion and lamo
would lie down together, but that it
would not. come in his day.
TAFT FORESEES TROUBLE.
Docs Not Deny Troops May he Need
ed in China.
CHICAGO. Feb. 2L-Secretary of War
Taft. who was the guest here tonight at
a dinner given by Yale clubs, in oiscuss
t th situation in the Far East, re
vealed some little Government uneasiness
as to the outcome, and he did not deny
that the detachment of 15,000 troops
-ti.riinv. vias "heen disoalched to the Phil
tnnin.0 mav lip. needed In China in the
near future.
"The Eastern situation is problem
otioai he said. "China Is now in z
state of unrest. To many it seems that
conditions which prevail there are sim
ilar to those which preceded the Boxer I
uprising. It must be hoped, however, that
the outcome may not be the same. The
detachment of troops was not sent to
China, but to the Philippines."
ANOTHER SNUB FOR RUSSIA,
China Refuses Railroad and Mining
Concessions in Turkestan.
PBKIN, Feb. 2L Chinese accounts of
the Russian negotiations state that the
Chinese government has Informed Minis
ter Pokotlloff ihat it could only deal with
Manchurian Questions "resulting from the
treaty of Portsmouth. and that proposals
for concessions In Chinese Turkestan and
railway and mining projects In Manchuria
were scparato matters. China has previ
ously refused some of them.

PJBKIN, Feb. 2L Meager details have
been' received of attacks upon Catholic
missions in several towns in the southeast

.Bluebeard Scoffs at Justice.
SPRINGFIELD. I1L, Feb. 21. Gov
ernor .Deneen. acting upon the recom
mendation of the State BoarJ of Par
dons, today deniedpohann Hoch's peti
tion for a commutation of his sentence
to life Imprisonment. Ho Is to be
hanged on Friday.
CHICAGO, Feb. 21. Hoch had been
confident that he would be granted
either a pardon or a new trial, and
the news that a commutation of sen
tence had been denied him came as a
great surprise. He winced perceptibly
when the news was told to him, but
recovered his composure Immediately,
and remarked quietly: "All right. I
have nothing. to say about It."
Later Hoch consented to talk and
said:
I have been sacrificed to save the reputa
tions of three men State's Attorney Healey,
Assistant State's Attorney Olscn and Gov
ernor Deneen. Juetlce Is all a mockery. If
I had been tried on that evidence before" the
Czar of Russia I would have been acquitted.
I am Innocent, Just a Innocent aa Healey or
Deneen, but they have ordered that my
life shall be taken to slve them a reputa
tion. Had I been acquitted, or given a life
sentence, the people would have laughed at
them. Never mind; Jobann Hoch Is not dead
yet, and he will have Justice.
After making tho statement, Hoch
turned to enter his cell. As he did so
he looked back and laughed sarcasti
cally, saying: "Hal ha! ha! ha! They
are going to hang Johann Hoch."

said that this was lost In a mine acci

over a marble game, when a small boy,
he was struck In the optic and the sight

AFTER BEST LEGAL TALENT.
Federation Will Sparc no Expense to
Free Officials.
DENVER, Feb. 2L A meeting of the
executive board of the "Western Federa

within a week to adopt plans for the de
fense of the officers now under arrest in
Idaho. James Klrwan, a member or tne
board, arrived yesterday from Terry, 9.
D. Vice-President J. C "Williams, of
Grass Valley,, Cal., will arrive tomorrow.
The members of the Federation, it Is
said, will be asked to subscribe money
to defend Moyer. Haywood and Pcttibone.
"We will secure the best legal talent
obtainable In the country," said Klrwln.
"The rank and file of the members of the
Federation believe la the Innocence- of
their officers, and will sec that they have
justice, if such a thing Is procurable.
"The charges brought against our men
are the same ones which have been
trumped up by tho mlneowners so many
times. Fifty-three . of us were arrested
after the Independence explosion, but nono
was ever prosecuted. Our arrest was
made merely for political effect.
"It is a queer thing that every time any
one has made a so-called confession It
has been proven beyond a doubt that he
was In the employ of the Mlneowners As
sociation. Orchard Is la the same boat as
the other confessors. If the evidence
against our officers is as strong as they
say It is, why did they not allow them to
have a hearing in Colorado? Such evi
dence as that would surely have been
sufficient grounds to allow requisition. In
stead of to warrant kidnaping."

DENVER. Colo.. Feb. 21. Evidence
that David H- Moffatt. president of
the First National Bank of Denver,
and president of the Denver, North
western & Pacific road was slated for
assassination at hands of plotters Is said
to be held by James McParland. of the
Plnkcrton Agency. A bomb of the
pattern used In Russia was to be thrown
at Moffat, as he walked along the street.
The plotter lost his nerve at the time
scheduled for the. assassination, as it
would have been practically impossible
for him to escape destruction with his
victim.
Moffat was held responsible for the de
feat of the strike at Lcadvllle, in 1S93. and
it is said that he was slated for death
immediately thereafter.

ss-stem. Is in Denver. He is a partner of
Moffat. It is said that he was also
marked but luckily escaped.
