Protest.
FKKIN, Feb. 2C. A crowd ot fully 10.000
person" witnessed tho execution of Chih
6tu anil Hail Cheng Yu, who were bohoaded
litre toda, In accordance with tho do
matlds of the powers. Thq members ot
tbo various legations were conspicuously
abretit, fooling tbnt If they were present
thoy 'might, ktcm to be gloating over their
fallen adversaries. Kvcry power, bow
over, was largely represented by military
officials and other heads, nnd tbcro Wat
also a staff from foreign powers. Ilesldes
these, many missionaries witnessed tbo ex
ecutions. Tbo condemned men met death stoically.
In each caso ono blow severed tho bead
from tbe body.
At (he time the exequtlou .was being
carried out the ministers; held a meeting
and determined, on tho part of the major
ity, tp, draw a curtain over further de
mands for blood. United States Special
Commissioner Hoclthlll sided strongly with
thpip favoring humane methods,, who are
Slf Ernest, Satow nnd Mm. Ifomura, Colo
gan and' I)f Olers, respectively British,
Japanese, Spanish and Russian ministers.
Others bclle'vo that China has not been
sufficiently punished nnd that men should
be' executed In every city, town and vlllago
whore foreigners wero Injured. It Is safe
to'say that little more bloodshed will be
demanded.
Minister Bland hy llart.
Another Important point that was brought
up at the- meeettng was that pf, the lega
tidrr quarters. Mr. Rockhlll Impressed
the ministers' by Ills remarks' regarding the
protest of Sir Robert Hart (ch(ef of tho
Chinese Imperial mtrltlmo customs), against
thq seizure of his property to Increase tho
area ot tbe legations, saylng'that the serv
ices rendered 'tbo powers by the financial
representative of, China should hnvc pro
vented the Indignities and spoliation in
flicted. Tho feeling Is general that Italy
should rcccda from' its position and re
turn tho property it has taken, and that
it necessary for it to Increase Its legation
it Bliould take land elsewhere.
,Dr. Munim von Schwnrtzensteln, the Ger
man., minister, and. the Marquis Salbago
niggt, the Italian representative, expressed
high appreciation ot Sir Robert Hart and
Tcgret.ted matters of state made necessary
the taktYig ot lands oti tho customs offi
cial. Sir "Ernest Satow and Mr. Rockhlll
thought an exception should certainly be
made of 'Sir Robert Hart's personal prop
erty and that the limits of the legation
should be defined the same as published.

R1LF.Y, Kan., Feb. 27. Early this morn

Into n rarefully .laid trap here, nnd tho
leader, Frank Wharton, alleged to be nn
expert safeblowcr, was captured after n
despcrato fight in the dark, Tho vault
containing $100,000 was untouched.
Somu tlmo ago Wharton camo to this
vicinity and, It Is nllegod, planned with
some local characters to rob tho Riley
bank. One of .tho men, named Johnson,
became frightened and notified tbe officers.
Sheriff Finney Induced tho fellow to go
nbead with his part of tbo program and
yesterday he notified tho sheriff that tho
raid would take place this morning. Fin
ney took two deputies, U. M. Person and
Harry I'ugh, nnd tho three secreted them
selves In the bank building, leaving the
light burning an usual.
At 1:30 o'clock Wharton and his com
panions appeared, accompanied by Jobu
son. Guards wero posted and tho leader,
with a short bar, toro the back door en
tirely off the hinges. He had selected
Johnson its ills assistant. Drills, fuses and
a full outfit wero carried In and nrrango
montH made to crack the safe. The sheriff
thought it tlmo to Interfere nnd demanded
surrender, but Wharton was not to bo
taken. His first move was to Hmush thj)
ll;ht and In tho darkness tho four men
fought. The robber used .his bar and felled
the two deputies botoro they could get
hold of him. Tho ofllcors could not shoot
because of the danger of bitting each other.
Johnson finally succeeded in getting a light
and Wharton was overpowered and hand
cuffed. I In was taken to Manhattan and
placed In Jail, His companions fled nt tho

DECISIVE HOVE IN SENATE

secret In saying that he had consulted some
ot his democratic colleagues about the
amendment before It was reported, nnd
cvory ono of them had approved It. They
had changed their minds now, but why ho
did not know. In conclusion, Mr. Money
stated briefly his objections to the Philip
pines amendment and his reasons for not
supporting It.
A .vote then was taken upon the amend

Mr.- Teller then offered an amendment, a
provision from an act-establishing tho Mis

Mr Teller said that as the officials In tbo
Philippines were not to be required to tal.e
providing thnt the civil government estab
lished In tho Phiplplties should be so rx
an oath to support the constitution ot tho
United States and tho constitution and laws
were not to be made applicable, he offered
the amendment to protect tho people of the

became a law. To prevent cruel treatment
of tho natives under the powers of nn auto

Flavor of Food "Won Her
"When tho landlady told me that tho
new dish at my plate was the much talked
ot food, Grape-Nuts, I tasted It languedly
expecting tho usual tasteless, Insipid com
pound posing under soma one ot tho vari
ous names of breakfast foods.'
"I am a school teacher nnd board. Have
usually been in robust health, but last
spring I had the much dreaded symptoms
of spring fovcr set In with great severity.
I could hardly kiep at my work and head
aches were almost constant. Food had be
come nauseating and I only partook of any
sort of food from a sense ot duty.
"My nlghtB wero spent In distress. Tho
first taste- of Grape-Nuts yielded n flavor
that was new and attracted me at once,
I aroie from the table satisfied, having
enjoyed my meal as I had not dono for
weeks. So I hod Grape-Nuts food for
breakfast overy day, and soon found other
reasons besides my taste for continuing
the food.
"All of tho spring fever symptoms dis
appeared, the headaches left, my complex
ion cleared up, and after a supper of Grape
Nuts, I found myself able to sleep like a
baby, In spite of a hard day and hard eve
ning's work.Tho food has never palled on
my appetite nor failed In furutshlng u
perfect meal, full ot strength and vigor.
I know from my own experience, of the va-l-Ho
of this food for anyone who feels
strength lagging under the strain ot work,
and It Is evident .that the claim made by
tbe makers that It Is a brain food Is well
taken. "Please omit my name If you pub
lish this." The lady lives In Hanover, Jnd.

Mr Allen of Nebraska declared that with
the end of tho session nt hand It was In
tho power of those who opposed tho amend
ment to defeat tho bill, it It became a law
.they would not be able to escape rcsponnl
blllty. For himself, ho was willing to de
vote all his energies tn tbo struggle, but
no ono man, or1 half a dozen could success
fully make tho fight, it would require tho
united co-operation ot nil. The republic-ana
wero now Intoxicated with power, but Inter
thoy would regret (his legislation. He
charged thnt hemp worth $25 n bale '.vast
confiscated in the Philippines by the army,
put Up at auction and sold to army officers
for y, a bale. These officers In turn sold It
for the market .price. After talking tor
over an hour Mr. Allen concluded with the
announcement tbnt If the minority would
co-oporato with him ho would remain In IiIh
place until noon, March 1, to present the
pending Mil fronpasslng.
Mr- Hoar then offered an amendment
providing' that no officer In tho Philippines
vested with legislative power should oxer

might b6 onp of laws, not men." The
amendment was rejected, ayes 26, nays 43,

Mr. Piatt of Connecticut then offered the

Later he modified his amendment so as

Seven More Cases ot l'lngur.
CAPETOWN, Feb. 27. Seven fresh cases
of bubonic plaguo wero reported yesterday.
Two ot tho victims arc Europeans, a man
and a woman. The dead body of a Kaffir
was found In a bouse near tho cathedral
yesterday. In the majority ot cases tbe
spread of tho disease Is traceable to rats.
The principal difficulty encountered by the
authorities In their efforts to prevent tho
pague from .spreading Is, the concealment
by tho colored people of Its existence among
them.
In consequence ot tho gravity of the bu
bonic plaguo situation, the government has
taken over from the corporation control ot
everything connected therewith and is en
gaging a large corps for a thorough cleans
ing ot tho city, tho burning of undesirable
houses and tho destruction of rats.

LAST TALK WITH WILDMAN
Late Consul at Hon Kouar Inter
viewed ns lie Passed Through
Honolulu.
SAN FRANCISCO Feb. 27. The last
statement made for publication by United
States Consul General Rounsevelle Wild
man, who lost his life In tho wreck ut the
Rio de Janeiro, Is printed In the Honolulu
Republican of February 14, Tbe Re
publican says:
Among the more prominent passengers
who are. passing through Honolulu on the
City of Rfo do Jannlro In uounsevclle Wild
man, tho present United States consul gen
eral nt Hong Kong. Mr. Wlldman Is re
turning to the states "Just to see, how
things aro looking, after nn absence of
four years," as ho expressed It. When
asked concerning the situation In the
Philippine?, Mr. Wlldman said:
"Ueforo answering your question, let me
say theBe words In a profatory way: 'Our
present administration has acted most
wisely in handling this matter.'
"The Philippine question Is practically at
an end. If .our forccf. can keep tho in
surgeuts under control during the rainy
season, and 1 believe they can, the matter
will solve Itself. The Insurgents aro bo
Ing cut off from nil external- communica
tion. They Jlnit It harder nnd harder to
secure foodstuffs. They long ago wero
prevented from receiving anything In the
way of firearms.
"Agulnaldo, 1 believe, Is dfsd. There Is
considerable, dispute as to this, but from
Indications I am Inclined to believe 1m 1b no
more. Oeneral Handlco, the chief of
Agulnaldo'H staii, la trading in Agulnaldo's
namn and Is In a very unhappy plight. It
was he who Issued the proclamation to the
Insurgents to kill all foreign women ana
children. We have th& proclamation In his
own handwriting. Ho li. making threats
over Agulnaldo's name, and seeking for
peace, at the samo tlmo declaring that If
terms advantageous to the rebel foreign
Erotectorato were not made, thn war would
e renewed with much more severity.
"To prophesy thn future Of China. ' Mr.
Wlldman continued, "Is a most difficult
thing to do, but I muy safely hazard this:
China will be divided Into live different
kingdoms. China was originally llvo dif
ferent district divisions, and to those It will
again revert. There Is absolutely no sym
pathy between the northern and southern
portions of th Flowery Kingdom, In the
north a Caucasian's life Is never safe; in
the south he may travel anywhere with
Impunity."
