THE MOHNING O REG ONI AN. TUESDAY,, FEBRUARY 19, 1901. HE WILL NOT GO Chaffee Is Not to Join the German Expedition. GOVERNMENT FACES A CRISIS State Department May Try to DIh- ondc Berlin Authorities From Undertaking Thin Campaign Chinese Are to Blame. WASHINGTON. Feb. IS. The "United States Government Is facing a serious cri sis in China, owing to the announcement of the purpose of Field Marshal Count von "Waldersee to begin another offensive cam paign. General Chaffee has been Invited to join In the expedition, which is to be mobilized on a larger scale than anything attempted in China since the allied army began the march to Pekln. The General so Informed the War Department today, and the officials of the State Department have been advised of the situation. This German movement Is viewed with absolute dismay here, for It is feared that it requires an Immediate decision by the United States Government of its whole lino of policy toward the Chinese ques tion. General Chaffee will be told that he Is not to participate in this campaign. He has been keeping the American forces in Pekln ever since the city was pacified, simply as a legation guard, and the Ger man Government is fully aware that the "United States Government purposely de prived the American contingent In China of its offensive military character and withdrew it from the control of General von Waldersee In order to hasten peace negotiations and prevent, so far as It could the continuance of military move ments against the Chinese, which were baneful In their effect upon the peace movement. So our Government, not hav ing changed Its policy, cannot do other wise than to cause General Chaffee to re frain from any participation In military movements so long as the present peace ful conditions continue'. But another very serious point under consideration Is, not whether Chaffee shall join the German movement, but whether it Is not the duty of our Government to exercise all proper efforts to dissuade the German Government from undertaking this campaign. The Chinese Government is unfortu nately delaying the peace negotiations in an exasperating fashion, and is not re sponding in proper spirit to the effort of the United States Government. Word has just come from Minister Conger which confirms the press advices relative to the Chinese declination to accede to the de mands of the Ministers In the matter of capital punishment of the leaders impll--catcd in the Boxer movement. Mr. Con ger's message gave it to be understood that the Chinese Government had agreed to exile Princes Tuan and Lan without capital sentences; to recommend suicide to Prince Chwang; death for Yu Hslen and Chao Chi Chao; Imprisonment and deg radation from office for Chi Hsu and Hsu Cheng Yu. It Is said that an edict al ready has been Issued to execute these sentences. A visit from the Japanese Minister to the State Department served to give color to the story that our Government Is cast ing about to ascertain how far the other powers party to the Chinese question would Indorse this proposed campaign. It is impossible to secure exact in formation on the subject. The whole subject. It was said, is to come before 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 authority that the American military forces under no circumstances will par ticipate with the Germans In the pro posed expedition, and, although It cannot be learned that General Chaffee has yet received Instructions to that effect, he un doubtedly will have them very shortly. The United States Government stands steadfastly by the principles laid down in Secretary Hay's letter of July 3 last. VOX WALDERSEE'S "BLUFF." Many In I'elcin Do Not Believe He "Will Send Out nn Expedition. PEKIN, Feb. 18. The foreign envoys have held a conference regarding the Chi nese reply concerning the punishment of the guilty persons named by the powers. The reply was considered unsatisfactory, and the envoys decided to Insist upon a compliance with their original demands. This decision, and the objections urged by the envoys to the latest imperial e.dict were unanimous, and the doyen of the diplomatic corps will inform the Chinese plenipotentiaries that the former require ments must be strictly complied with. Meanwhile, great preparations are being made by the various commanders prepar atory to the big expedition. Apparently, the only commanders who have enough of anything for a long campaign are the American, British and Japanese. The oth ers are deficient, especially the German, although Count von Waldersee believes that in a few ,days he will have all the supplies really necessary. He takes the position that It will be better to secure the greater part of the provisions from the country Itself, but most of the Gen erals think it unwise to take so great a rtek. The British will rely almost entire ly upon pack trains. Any other method of transportation through the mountain passes would probably be impossible, as, according to Information received here, the Chinese have prepared for Just this contingency, "and have blocked every pos sible pass with big boulders. In order to render the passage of artillery next to impossible. Many people in Pekln say that Count von Waldersee Is "working a bluff," In co-operation with the foreign envoys, hop ing to compel the Chinese plenipotentia ries to comply with the demands of the powers. The military authorities say this may bo the case, but that China would never believe the foreigners again if they failed to send an expedition after Dr. Mumm von Schwarzensteln personally no stifled LI Hung Chang that it would be done In case the Chinese court did not accede to the demands of the powers. Prince Chlng and LI Hung Chang are greatly worried. To Clear Chi Li. BERLIN. Feb. IS. The Cologne Gazette publishes a dispatch from Pekln which explains that Field Marshal Count von "WaHersee's new expedition is Intended to clear entirely the Province of Chi LI of Chinese soldiers and produce a whole some dread among the Chinese. The German commissariat department has or dered 1000 transport wagons to be ready in IS days. The Chinete Will Be Astonished. SHANGHAI. Feb. IS. The Shanghai Mercury asserts that "the allies are pre paring a movement that will astonish China and bring her to terms quickly." According to the North China Dally News, the Germans are planning an expedition on the Yangtze Kiang. Expedition Will Start Satnrdny. LONDON. Feb. IS. "Count von Wal dersee has prepared his plans for the new expedition," says the Pekln corre spondent of the Morning Post, wiring yes terday, "and it will start next Saturday. All the powers except Russia and the United States have agreed to allow their forces to join." BRUTALITY OF THE GERMANS. An English Correspondent Writes From Personal Observation. NEW YORK. Feb. 18. George Lynch, an English war correspondent, who saw service In Cuba and South Africa and was then commissioned by two London papers to accompany the allied forces on the march to Pekln, writes to the Herald a long description of the terrible atrocities by the allies with which the campaign was accompanied. Mr. Lynch personally vouches for the accuracy of the facts he relates. He says: "But it is to the Germans that we must award the laurels of outrage In this cam paign. They arrived late for the hunt the man bunt, or man. woman and child hunt There was something particularly cold-blooded about their proceedings. They arrived when the country ought to have been settled down, to avenge the murder of their Minister and to carry out the mandate of their Kaiser. "After marching Into Pekln. leaving their path stained with the blood of hun dreds of innocent people, who had Just ventured to return to their homes, the Germans established a military reign of terror In their section of the city. Every day there were executions. One day 63 were shot. They did not hesitate to re sort to Oriental methods for the purpose of extracting evidence from their wit nesses. The treatment of their prisoners, as I can personally testify, from what I saw, was most brutal." Mr. Lynch takes the missionaries to task" for their looting. Further on he says: "The policy of the United States throughout this whole Chinese business has, to my mind, been altogether admir able. I recollect being with General Chaf fee the day after the relief. He said to me: " 'We had to come right up to re lieve these people In the legations and now the sooner we can get out and go back home the better pleased I shall be. "This appears to me the right policy, not alone for the United States, but for all the rest of the powers." Mr. Lynch thinks the Chinese spirit of rebellion is still very active and will be revived in the Spring. SITE FOR A LEGATION. Rockhlll Sag-Rests Thnt It Be Se cured at Once. NEW YORK, Feb. IS. A special to the Tribune from Washington says: While the Indiscriminate seizure of prop erty in China by foreign nations contin ues, there is some interesting Information in a letter Senator Lodge has received from W. Woodvllle Rockhlll, who was sent to Pekln to assist Minister Conger. He says. "Conger has written to the department and I have written to the Secretary sug-. gestlng the urgent need of securing at present a good site for our legation here. All the other powers have already pre empted large tracts in the Tartar city here, on which they expect to build. If we do not do something at once, we will find ourselves shut off permanently from getting what we should have a respec table legation, worthy of us, and commen surate with our interests out here. If Congress would appropriate ?100 000. we could secure all the necessary land and build all the needed buildings for the le gation and for the guard which must re main here, probable for years to come. A year from now and it will be too late. It is without any exaggeration, now or never." TRIED BY A MOB. Tennessee Negro's Jurors Hnngcd Him. DYERSBURG, Tenn., Feb. 18. An un known man broke Into the residence of Dr, Arnold, a prominent physician here, yesterday, and struck Miss Eliza Arnold an the head and side with a hatchet. She fainted without seeing the assailant, who became frlghtenpd and fled. Bloodhounds followed the trail from the young lady's room to the house of a negro named Fred King, where a hatchet was found in a bureau drawer. King and two other ne groes were arrested, but the latter were released. A mob formed and would have lynched King but for the pleadings of Dr. Arnold, who Insisted upon having better evidence of guilt. A mob formed today and took King from jail and tried him before a Jury selected from the mob. He confessed. Implicating several other negroes, and was then hanged. Another negro named Beebe has been captured, charged with complicity in the assault, and probably will meet the same fate. Laborer Had Skull Crashed. ST. HELENS. Or., Feb. IS.

Deceased was 23 years of age and leaves a wife and child. He was a new man and had Just gone to work In the morn ing. The Coroner was summoned and a jury empaneled.

Questions in the House of Commons today regarding the war In South Africa did little toward throwing light on the situation. The Sec retary of State for War, Mr. Broderick, gave a statement of the ever-Increasing cases of typhoid fever among the troops, thus partially accounting for the long casualty lists. In October there were 569 cases and 9S deaths; in November 1213 cases and 207 deaths, and in December 1S65 cases and 2SS deaths. The total since the be ginning of the war to December is 19,101 cases and 4233 deaths. Lord Stanley, the Financial Secretary of the War Office, Imparted the Informa tion that the government had purchased for the troops In South Africa 113,9o horses In Great Britain and 71.S74 else where. The English and Irish horses proved the best and the Americans next. Of the latter. 21.000 were purchased, while Canada supplied 3750. John Redmond, chairman -of the United Irish Parliamentary party, took excep tion to the oath taken by Kins Edward In the House of Lords. He declared that Inasmuch as the Catholic religion was described as Idolatrous and superstitious, he would oppose the granting of the King's salary. A. J. Balfour, the govern ment leader, admitted that he was no admirer of the form of words, but hoped the practical question of their repetition will be disposed of for many years to come. The refusal of Lord Cranbourne. the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Af fairs, to answer questions concerning which notice had not previously been given, gave John Dillon, Irish National ist, the chance to move an adjournment of the House in order to debate the sub ject. Mr. Dillon declared that the Under Secretary of the Foreign Office had been muzzled. Mr. Balfour. In defending the course of Lord Cranbourne. said the practice of cross-examining the Foreign Secretary was dangerous, and would preclude the carrying on of delicate negotiations, and might endanger the Interests of nations, and possibly the peace of Europe. The House then divided as follows: For ad journment, 204; against, 249. Lord Cranbourne, when the debate on the address. In reply to the King's speech from the throne was resumed, said com mercial Interest was Great Britain's prin cipal Interest In China. There had been g- eat delay In the settlement of affairs In China, but such delay must be expected In dealing with the Chinese. As to the question of indemnity, Lord Cranbourne said the British Minister at Pekln had been Instructed to gather together the claims that were to be made. Referring to the railroad dispute. Lord Cranbourne sa'd Russia had assured the government that the occupation of the Pekln-Shan Hal Kwan Railroad was only temporary, and that the railroad and materials would be restored at the end of the occupation. Lord Cranbourne added: "I am bound to say that in all our deal ings with the Russian Government In this matter we have been received In the most friendly way. We have o complaint whatever to make against the government of the Czar." Continuing. Lord Cranbourne said Rus sia had assured the government that any agreement between Russia and China re specting the occupation of Manchuria was In the nature of a modus vlvendl, to pre vent disturbances along the frontier and railroad. It was purely temporary, and although a guarantee was expected by Russia that these disturbances would not break out again, that guarantee would not take the form of territorial acquisition or a virtual protectorate. Sir William Vernon Harcourt asked: "Is it true that an expedition Into the interior of -China has been ordered bv Count von Waldersee? And If so, how does the or der affect our troops? At the end of such an operation we might find ourselves In another guerrilla war among a population far greater than the Boers." Lord Cranbourne replied that, so far as the government was aware, no power was contemplating an expedition Into the Inte rior of China. If It was so, the British commanders would require fresh instruc tions. FEATURES OF THE SESSION. Government's Slim JInJorlty and Speech of Churchill. LONDON, Feb. 19. The first division of the first Parliament of King Edward VII, which took place yesterday, resulted in cutting down to 45 the government's nor mal majority of 130. The. interest caused by this unexpected event was heightened by Winston Churchill's first speech at Westminster and Mr. Chamberlain's healthy defense of his own policy. The extraordinary sllmness of the majority of the strongest British government of modern times was the result of Lord Cranbourne's refusal to answer questions relating to the government's foreign pol icy without previous notice from the ques tioners. John Dillon seized the opportu nity, and In spite of an unusually large attendance, almost placed the Conserva tive party In "queer street." In the course of an Interview later, Mr. Dillon said: "What It all means Is that the govern ment will be obliged to revoke the arbi trary ruling made by Mr. Balfour that Under Secretaries of State are not obliged to answer questions addressed to them. The question is more Important than It appears on the surface, for. If Mr. Bal four's ruling should be followed, it would prevent the Irish members from question ing the Irish Secretary and eventually de prive us of all right of free speech." Dealing with Mr. Churchill's maiden speech. Mr. Dillon paid it a generous tribute. "One might have thought." he said, "that it was Lord Randolph talk ing. Mr. Churchill scored a great success. He Is worthy of his American mother." Mr. Chamberlain's speech came In re ply to David Lloyd George's criticism of the conduct of the South African war. In the course of which he had denounced the burning of farms and keeping of Boer women and children In British laagers on reduced rations. These charges created a great uproar and provoked an angry do mand from Mr. Broderick. Secretary of State for War. that Mr. Lloyd-George should offer evidence to substantiate his assertions. Mr. Churchill caustically rebuked Mr. Lloyd-George. He Indulged In epigrams, such as, "No other nation In the world ever received bo much verbal sympathy and so little practical support as the Boers." He proceeded, half humorously and half seriously, to belittle the efforts of the pro-Boer members of the House in behalf of their friends. He maintained that the war in South Africa had been carried on with unusual humanity, and he closed with the declaration of his belief that at no distant date there would be an "Anglicized, loyal, peaceful and pros perous Transvaal." Sir Robert Reed. Radical member for Dumfrlesburgh. argued that all this could be accomplished without unnecessary se verity and without withholding terms. Mr. Chamberlain, springing to his feet, stigmatized the speech of Sir Robert Reed as "devoted to abuse of British of ficers and the policy of the Ministers and to praise of the enemies of Great Britain." He denied that peace with honor was at any time possible before or after the fall of Pretoria. "The policy of His Majesty's government," he declared, "has not va ried. Before the Invasion of Natal we would have accepted the most moderate concession, but from the moment the In vasion occurred and the Boers had fired the first shot, the government determined that not one shred of the Independence which the Boers had abused should over again be conceded to them." The Conservatives, cheering furiously, rose to their feet from the government benches at this assertion, and made the chamber ring again and again. "The government." continued Mr. Cham berlain, "challenged the opposition at the general election on the issue of annexa tion. We challenge you again. Tonight, six pro-Boers have spoken, and riot a single Liberal Imperialist." Sir Robert Reed objected to the term "pro-Boer." but Mr. Chamberlain stuck to his guns. "I maintain." he said "that there is no other name for the men who believe every scandalous libel on British army officers and soldiers." "Don't Insult us," shouted Sir Robert Reed. Continuing, Mr. Chamberlain said: "Be fore we grant free government to the Boers the country must be restored to something like Its normal condition. I believe the Boers know well the terms offered them. The time Is. however, not opportune for taking further steps to make these terms known, but I have been In communication with Sir Alfred Mllner, with a view of taking ad-antage of any opportunity that might present itself. "The struggle had to come. It originated In the determination of the Boers to se cure thp nseendencv In South Africa. I believe that, in spite of the sacrifice made, this country is of the same mind as when it entered upon this struggle, and will spare no effort to bring it to a close, and will support no party which seeks to stultify the object In view." Amid ringing cheers Mr. Chamberlain resumed his seat and the House ad journed. MOSCOW PAPER SUPPRESSED. For the Publication ol University Bulletin. ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 18. The Min ister of the Interior, M. Siplaguine on Sat urday ordered the suppression for three months of the NovostI Dnja. a Moscow newspaper, which has violated the prohi bition against the publication of univer sity bulletins. A secret circular has been Issued reminding all the newspapers that the prohibition is now effective. Information has been received here that 320 students have been arrested in Moscow, presumably the whole assembly which ob structed the lectures among the students. Eighteen students were arrested here, but were subsequently released. Pending a decision In their case, however, they were forbidden to re-enter the university. Six teen additional arrests were subsequently made. The Forestry Institute, near by, held a meeting and declared the Institute closed until the sentences against the stu dents should be revoked and military law repealed. The Institute of Railway Engineers, by a vote of 230 to 100, declared for obstruc tion. Tne Military and Medical Academy students met, with the permission of Gen eral Kouropatkln, the Minister or War, the latter merely warning them that he could not prevent the operation of mili tary law If obatructlonary tactics were adopted. Of the S00 who were present at the meeting only 139 favored obstruction. Resolutions were adopted expressing great discontent with the sentences Im posed at Kleff, and with military law gen erally, but it was admitted that obstruc tion cannot lead to any desirable result. Furthermore, the meeting declared Its conviction that the students at other In stitutions would reach equally sensible conclusions if they were granted similar liberties. It is learned that Professor Melukoff, the celebrated historian who was taken Into custody last Monday, was arrested for having attended a conference at a private house between students and liberal cltl- COLD "WEATHER IN EUROPE.

"The disease had extended Itself until the membranes of the entire respiratory tract, as well as of the stomach, were Involved. The Inflammation extended , to the bronchial tubes, causing a soreness and distressed feeling all through the chest, and giving rise to A Violent and Racking Cough.
