Chance for til Condemned
Murderers In
Washington.
Seattle, May 30. Thero is serious
danger thnt every condemned mur
derer in tho state of Washington will
loon bo released from custody. Ac
cording to Prosecuting Attorney
WnlleriB. Hilton, of king county,
tho Inst legislature, in passing a law
providing that hereafter condemned
murderers shall bo executed in tho
penitentiary, instead of in tho county
Jails, committed a serious blunder in
not including a clauso providing for
tho punishment of thoso condemned
nt tho time tho law goes into effect.'
That the consequences will bo the
most serious to tho administration of
justico is Mr. Fulton's fear. Briefly
stated - tho construction placed upon
tho law by Mr. Fulton is as follows: ,
Tho new law provides that, upon
tho sentencing of tho prisoner, he
shall bo dcliveicd forthwith to tho
wnrdenof the penitentiary mid kopt
by him' in "solitnry confinement"
until tlio day of his execution. It is
said that tho "solitary confinement"
clauso contitutes an' additional pun
ishment than that provided for nt tho
timo of tho commission of tho crimes
of tho men now in jail. Therefore,
it is -.'nil o.x post facto law, nnd can
notbo made applicable to the pris
oners .now confined. Moreover, the
now law, which is valid, insofar ns
it relates o criminals to ho con
demned in tho future, contain a
clauso 'repealing by implication the
old law, under which criminals have
been hanged, and leaves apparently
no avenue of escape", from tho fact
that criminals now condemned must
'bo given thoir liberty.
Mr.) Kill ton will try to induce Gov
ernor ltogers to call a special session
of the legislature to remedy tho al
leged radical defect in tho law. lie
says that n law can bo drafted which
will cover tho points desired by the
framers of the one passed at tho last
session, and nt tho same timo make
provision for tho legal execution ol
tho criminals, who, under exist ine
conditions, must, perforce, bo ro
leased;

United States Legation Guard In Pekln Pen.
slon Sharpers Catch Returning Soldiers.
Instruction sent to our representa
tive nt Pekin, governing tho conduct
of American troops which remain nt
tho United States legation ns guard
in that city, havo bcon acknowledged
by General Chnlfcc. Tho force of 100
men will bo quartered iu tho Tcmplo
of Agriculture and nt tho south gato
of tho forbidden city. Tho force,
which comprises company 1) of tho
Ninth infantry, will bo under tho
command of Major Edgar I). Kolierts,
Ninth infantry, nnd the force will bo
stocked with supplies to Inst until
December 31, by which timo requisi
tions will be mndo on Manila for sup
plies for tho following six months.
The reserve ammunition furnished
the forco includes 100,000 rounds of
rifle cartridges nnd 100 rounds of re
volver shot for each authorized
weapon. The instruction sent to
Roberts cautioned him against any re
laxation of military discipline and ad

quently with our diplomatic represen
tatives and not when mosssary 111 con

mand. Ho was also informed that ho
might use force, if necessary, against
tho Chinese in the protection of
Ameripau interests, ,
Thero is considerable speculation
about tho effect of Mrs. McKlnley's
illnes on society iu Washington after
her recovery nnd return. It is report
ed thut two years ngo Mr. MoKinley
was advised to lef it be known that his
wife was 1111 invalid nnd could not dis
charge tlio duties, of tho "first lady of
tlio land." It is said that tlio presi
dent favored tho idea nnd suggested it
to IMrs. MoKinley, but that she re
fused to entertain it for a moment,
and that she has since rigidly per
formed tho duties of mistress of the
White Hone, nt considerable personal
sacriflco nnd injury to her health.
kAn investigation of tho practices of
pension sharpers in San Francisco and
their methods of annoying soldiers
returning from tho Far East, has bcon
started, by the pension bureau, nnd
prosecutions mny bo expected in tho
near future, according to tho oflloinls
of the law division of tho bureau.
Tho sharpers aro not nil representa
tives of the large Washington pension
law firms, but many of them aro, nnd
their mothods are characterized as
illegal nnd outrageous, They meet
returning soldiers at the docks and
often persuade them to file applica
tions for pensions, even before they
havo been discharged. Fees havo
bcon, iu many cases, collected with
out any service rendered, and tho
sharper often threatens to take up his
caso iu Washington and maka trouble
for tho soldier unless ho paid tho fee.
According to present plans tho 10,-
000 regulars who are to be brought

of diminishing the military forco

return will bo tho Fourteenth, Eigh

Infantry, aud the rourth regiment of
cavalry.
There is no law or constitutional
