"An imperial decree of November 18 deprives Prince Tuan and Prince Chang of their ranks and offices, and orders them to be imprisoned for life: Prince Yih and aeoondary Prince Ining to be imprisoned; aeoondary Prinoe Lien to be deprived of bia rank; Duke Lan and Ining Nien to be degraded in rank; Kang Yl being dead, no penalty can be imposed upon bim; Chao Shu Chiao to be degraded, but retained in office, and Yu Haien to be exiled to the larthest boundary." Tbo Chineae official mentioned in the decree are among the highest in China, and comprise most, if not all. of those against whom the powers de manded rigorous punishment. Prince Tuan stand at the head of the anti foreign and Boxer movement. Previon edict degraded him and took away hi office and servants, but this judgment of life imprisonment is the most severe thus far given to any of the. leader responsible for the trouble. From a Chinese standpoint, it is an extreme penalty to a prince of tbe blood, bat it remains to be Been whether tbe pow ers will regard it a adequate to Prince Tuan's offense. The others mentioned were Tuan's active associates, and t'vo ot them were specifically mentioned for punishment, along with Tuan, in Secretary Hay' note of October 8, in which he advised the Chinese govern. ment that this country would expect these officials to receive their just de sert. Kang Yi ia one of the official who died auddenly when the demanda fox punishment had been made, probably by suicide. Yn Hsien i another who wa thought to bave committed suicide, but the reports indicate that he is still alive. Wlaa Conrae of the United states. There is no hesitation in energetical ly denying tbe ftaropean implication that the United Statea government is moved in its Chinese course by senti mental and unbusinesslike considera tions. On the contrary, it is pointed out that, while sentiment is on the side ot our government in this matter, it ia accompanied by tbe soundest busi ness considerations. The animating purpose of tbe state department now is to prevent the destruction of Chineae integrity upon pretexts; to maintain the open door, for wbioh our govern ment long baS" contended, and to secure indemnities for tbe past, and guaran tees for the future.

What agony the doomed boy suffered while the flames shriveled up hia flesh could only be gnessed by the terrible contortions of hia face and the criea he gave from time to time. The executioners, who numbered about 800 citizens of Limon county, had not the least semblance of the or dinary moh. Their every act was de- , liberate, and .during all (he prepara tions, as well as throughout the suffer- . ings of the negro, hardly an unneces sary word was spoken.
