government ia fully aware that the
! United States government purposely
i deprived the American contingent in
China of its offensive military char
acter and withdrew it from the control
of General von Waldersee in order to
hasten peace negotiations and prevent,
'- so far as it com Id, the continuance of
military movements against the Chi
: nese. which were baueful in their
effect shod the rjeaci movement. So
our government, not having changed
; its policy, cannot do otherwise than lo
cause General Chaffee to refrain from
any participation in military move
ments so long as the present peaceful
conditions continue.
But another very serious point under
, consideration is. not whether Chaffee
shall join the German movement, but
j whether it is not the duty of our gov
ernment to exercUe all proper efforts
to dissuade the German government
from undertaking this campaign.
The Chinese" government ia unfortu

Officers Successfully Foiled a Mob of Rail
road Men in Topeka.
Topeka, Kan., Feb, 22. -The vigil
ance of the officers was all that saved
Slick" Slater from lynching hy an
infuriated mob tonight. He will yet
he lynched if he can be found. Slater
assaulted 17-year-old Lottie Gerbericlc
Monday evening, and was captured by
the Topeka olliuers the next day at
Carbondale. This afternoon It became
known that be was here, and immedi
ately the Santa Fe shopmen, of whom
Che assaulted girl's tether, George Ger
berick is one, decided that he should be
lynched. Tbev at once sent a commit
tee to watch the jail while they quiet
ly arranged the details of the expected
lynching.
By 6 o'clock there was an angry mob
of 1,000 around the jail, demanding
that the prisoner be delivered to them.
A brigade of sturdy boilermakers,
armed with heavy sledge hammers,
stood ready to make short work of the
jail in case the demands were not
granted. Sheriff Cook told the crowd
that the prisoner had been removed,
and offered t) let a committee search
the jail. Ten men, headed oy George
Gerherick, made a thorough search, but
Slater could not be found. Tbey re
turned and told the mob, but that did
not satisfy them, and twice they started
to break in the jail doors.
Eaily in the afternoon, the sheriff,
in anticipation of trouble, orderea a
deputy to get Slater out of town. He
was ordered not to leave him in Jack
son county nor to take him to Leaven
worth. The deputy drove to Hoyt with
Slater and entered a north bctnd Hock
Island trsin. It is thought that Slater
is now in jail in Atchison. The Santa
Fe shopmen are calmly determined to
lynch Slater when be is brought back
here tor trial. They have appointed a
large vigilance committee to be con
stantly on the outlook, and vow that
Slater will never leave Topeka alive.
The shopmen have past records in cases
ot this kind. They lynched John Oli
phaut 12 years ago for a like offense.

To Prevent Hoboing.
A hill to re vent persons beating
their wa on railroad trains was passed
by the house Mo- day. The bill was
introduced by Voorman. at the request
of railway employes and managers. It
is a copy of the law now in force in
Alabama, and ia designed to puts
stop to the tramp nuisance. The result
nf such laws in Alabama was shown hy
Mr. Poonnan to be far reaching in its
effect, pottiug a stop to car robbing.
The bill was passed, there being no
negative votes.
Passed by the Senate.
The senate passed the following bills
Monday: House bill 11, to authorize
clerks of school districts and county
judges to hid in property sold for taxes
and to direct the manner in which
such property may be disposed of; sen
ate bill 322. to regulate surety compan

A visit from the Japanese minister
to the state department served to give
color to the story that onr covernment
is casting about to ascertain how far
the other powers party to the Chinese
question would indorse this proposed
camnaii-n. It is impossible to secure
exact information on the subject. The
whole subject, it is said, is to come he
fore the cabinet meeting tomorrow,
when the course to be pursued by the
United States government will be de
termined.
It is said unequivocally by competent
authoritv that the American military
foices under no circumstances will
participate with the Germans in tne
proposed expedition, and, attnougn n
cannot be learned that General Chaffee
has vet received instructions to that
effect, he undoubtedly will have tbrem
very shortly. The United. States gov
