Joirph Tforhrr Write, of Life In the Far orlli Hrprlnl of an Old Hook of Ad 1 rnlorr. Very few new books are appearing at the -.reseat tine, though all the publishing nouses are premising a number for the star future. Attention hat already ben raleld to many of the attractive titles announced. During the present eek a few new volumes hare put In as appear ance. Carman F. Randolph of the New York bar, and author of "The Law of Eminent Domain," has written a new work which he call "The Law and Policy of Annexa tion." The annexation of the Philippines U the Immediate reason for this book. hlch. in dealing with the event Itself, ad vecates withdrawal of our sovereignty from the Island and suggests a method for its accomplishment. In the larger and per manent purpose of the book the Philippine question is but the text for a general dis cussion of annexation with regard to the policies proper for the guidance of the United States in the matter of enlarging its territory, and to-he obligations that go with their sovereignty. The author br lleves that in theory of law the constitu tion is supreme throughout the Jurisdiction of congress, and he further holds that It Is the true policy of the republic to discour age any assumption of sovereignty over land and people that tends to weaken American institutions or lower the quality of our civic body, or dull our sense of Justice. The volume Is one that must prove of value to every person Interested in the Philippine question, or in the broader questions of territorial expansion The author being a lawyer, has written from the legal stand point, and what be has to say on the sub ject Is certainly orth hearing, even If tht reader does not entirely agree In all cases with conclusions reached.

The mutineer, treated the natives with great cruelty pro voking them to such an extent that they massacred the whole party, with the ex ception of two sailors, who were prstectrd by natives whom they bad at different times befriended.

The correspondent here of the Associated Press has excellent au thority for the statement that Field Marshal Cost von Waldersee expedition will not start, as it is believed a decree will be published In Pekln today accepting the de mands of the ministers. The expedition, therefore, will not be necessary. Should the above Information prove untrue it can be said upon the same authority it la most certain Franee and Russia will not participate in any punitive expeditions, as those nations have consistent!?, with the United States, opposed any military reprisals beyond those necessary to relieve the legations. The correspondent of tht Associated Press is Informed that the French minister of foreign affairs, M. Dekasse. Is strongly opposed to the pro posed military expedition. China Accede to Demands. PEKIN, Feb. SI. Prince Ching and Li Hung Chang have received telegraphic In structions from the court to notify the min isters of the powers that an edict has been Issued regarding the punishment of Chinese officials, confirmatory of the demands made by tbe ministers, as follows: General Tung Fuh Slan, to be degraded and deprived of his rank. Prince Tuan and Lan to be disgraced and exiled. Prince Chuang. Ylng Nien and Chao Shu Ctlio. to commit suicide. Hsu Chen Yu, Yu Hslen and Kl Haln, to te beheaded. This Is net exactly what tbe ministers de manded. but It is considered advisable to agree to It. as the demand for lives has been agreed to except In the case of General Tung Fuh Slan, whom the court is power less to molest There Is a private under standing that his life will be claimed when It Is possible. Think China Has Gained Victory. The European and Chinese secretaries of legations and others ho have lived In China for years consider that China has gained a victory, as the only man the court has to behead Is Yu Hslen. The other two are In the hands of tbe Japanese and could be beheaded when their execution is wanted. Suicide is no disgrace whatever in the eyes of tbe Chinese. No one be lieves General Tune Fuh Slan will ever suffer punishment. People here say Chinese Imperial edicts are very unstable documents, especially when private edicts to the executive offi cials accompany the public edicts. A re cent decree ordered all Indicted officials to commit suicide, yet it Is evident a seeret edict was sent instructing the persons Im plicated not to obey. What proof. It is asked. Is there now that the terms of the decree will be carried out? Prince Chine ! Alarmed. Prince Ching is greatly alarmed at the preparations for the military expedition into the interior. He asks why they are not countermanded, now that China has agreed to the demands of the powers, in stead of which the preparations continue. Mr. J. Fowler, the United States consul at Che Foo, has sent Minister Conger proclamation Issued by Yuen Shi Kal. the governor of the province of Shin. Tung, giving protection to the missionaries and offering a reward of ZOO taels for tbe cap ture of any of the ringleaders of the re cent disturbances, and offering a reward of 100 taels for the capture of others than those actually committing outrages. The civil and military authorities will be held strictly accountable for the good order of their districts. When outrages are com mitted they will be disgraced and reported to the throne. Where no outrages occur for three years the civil and military au thorities will be rewarded by a merit tablet and button. Tbe merchants of Tien Tsin have sent a memorial to General ChaSee asking him to resume the occupation of tbe Formoslas concession, long ago given up and unoc cupied, though both the German and the British commanders talk of annexing it. The merchants point out that they will be badly handicapped without tbe concession, as they would have to pay wharfage to a foreign power, as well as to tbe Chinese officials. The general desire is that the matter Be referred to Minister Conger for decision. Pnnlaninent Prescribed. WASHINGTON. Feb. 21 A cablegram has been received at the State department from Minister Conger stating that the Chinese plenipotentiaries have Informed the foreign ministers that the emperor has agreed to .11 the punishments named In his (Conger's) telegram of February 6 last, The persons named in the telegram re- erred to. with the punishment prescribed, , 1 .re at follows U. . ,,. ,, , . , I r . .

The great dlSculty in the way of executing General Tung Fu Slang being recognized by the ministers, it was agreed that some punishment, to be determined later, should be administered to him when it was poisl ble to do so. A subsequent message from Minister Con ger Includes In the punishment list fand it la understood here that they are also in cluded In the emperor's promise Just given) Chuang, who is to be executed.

It is still uncertain whether Mr. Conger's message marks the passage of this Im portant phase ot tbe Chinese question rela tive to punishments, and the taking up of I the questions of indemnity and guaranties. All depends upon whether the foreign min isters at Pekln have determined that the sentences above dtscrlbed must be executd as a prllmlnary to further progress In the negotiations. It is surmised here that such Is tne case, tnougn it is regarded as anment or prices, speculation was more pro unnecessary delay in the negotiations, whleh I '"'iPi1,' VitiJE? .n,Kth; cjfe ln Sh i. ........ . ,v. i.. .

GENERAL DEFICIENCY BILL PASSES Last of the I'resrnt Session's (ppru. prlnllou .Measorrs Is I'lnally Disposed tit After ome Debute. WASHINGTON. Feb. II This was an other field day In the house. Two distinct sensations occurred. Early in the day, dur ing the consideration of an amendment to the deficiency appropriation bill to prevent hating at the naval academy, Mr. Hep burn of Iowa used exceedingly strong lan- , guage while inveighing against tbe prac- i tke of hazing, declaring feat the I large number of desertions from the army and the lack of men in the navy were due to the fact that American cltlxens refuse to serve under men "schooled In tyranny and oppression." Mr. Hepburn said he had a list of twenty-five vessels of the United States wrecked by Incompetent officers since the close of the civil war. He declared that oScers stood by each other and with but a solitary exception the commanders of these vessels were let off with slight punishment. He denounced hating In un- measured terms and said he wanted to see a fixed and certain punishment for It Dlnamorr Starts a How, Mr. Caunon of Illinois and Mr. Dayton of West Tlrglnla warmly defended the navy. Tbe stir caused by Mr. Hepburn's speech, however, was mild compared with the row which was kicked up later over some items In the bill for extra compensation to em ployes of the house. Mr. Dinsmore of Ar kansas exposed the fact that one of the employes of the house while occupying one position was drawing salary for another. 1 and that the difference between tbe salaries was to be made up in one of the items in the bill. This led to a general ventilation of the domestic affairs of tbe house, during which Mr. Bailey of Texas declared that the situation was a scandal upon tbe Integrity of the house. He charged that there fere employes of the house who were dividing their salaries with others who performed no work and challenged anyone on the other side to deny his allegations. He offered to produce sworn testimony In sub stantiation of his charge If an lnvestl- i .r nMfnt.ri t L , " vn..-,. u wts "Pained by Mr. Joy of Missouri 1 and others that there was no law concern- ff b0""- '"eT . contented himself with saying It was evl- I dent matters were "very much mixed."
