around this town and saw a sight of horror.

and laid stiff and dripping among the faded
flowers. They hal , drowned themselves when
the Japanese artillery began shelling the
place , fearing the fate that befalls women
when a Chinese victory occurs. There they
lay , entwined -together In a last embrace , a
. , ' silent trlbuto to the virtue of Manchurian
women. Four were the wIves of prominent
Chinamen , the others wcro their daughters and
maids. The vIctorious army went ramblIng

baggage cars , cannon and brIllIant pageantry

Patriotism Is dead here , the people hate :
the emperor and the government. Already
many ot the InhabItants of Kin Chioo . have '
ofered to become subjects of Jnpan. They
ore more afraid of the Chinese troops than
of thin Japanese. This Is the feeling throughout -
out North China , and the Japanese are wisely
taking advantage ot It : they arc straIning

Manchurians arc beginning to understand

On the walls 'Ie found one placard announcing -
nouncing that there had ben a battle at
Ping Yang and that the Japanese were badly (
beaten , but that a few were still loitering
around and must be fiercely oppos l , An-
other placard declared that a few Japanese
had landed on the Chinese coast at Cyenleo
and were marching through the country.
Chinamen were warned tiat I they entered
the service oC the invaders or assisted them
In any way their heads would be cut oif.
Still another placard offered 3 tael a month
for volunteer soldiers , and announced that
300 taels would be paid for a Japanese prisoner -

PUZZLED ALMOST TO PAHALYSIS.
The latest sensation In omclal circles Is
caused by the arrival at Kobe of n famIly
ot Chinese and European travelers , who
announce themselves ns bearers oC peace
offerings. They come on a ship ot the
China Merchants Navigation company and
sail under the German flag. A few ot the
ChInese are said to bo of good rank , the
other being low class manllnrlns. The prIncipal -
cipal foreigner Is an English employe or the
customs service at Tlen-Tsln , name DIeter-
lng , who assorts that he brings a friendly
letter from 1.1 Hung Chang , and with his
companions Is authorized by thal dignItary
to discuss terms ot accommodation. Asso-
elated with him Is Mr Michie , the corre-
spondent of the London . Times , who once
betoro ' astounded the Japanese minister of
foreign amalr by representing himself as
an amateur "Deus ex belie , " empowered by
LI to bring hostilities to a chose before they
hall fairly begun. Not content with a single
rebuff , this genteman has returned to court
a second time. The Japanese are amazed at
the audacIty ot the proceedings , which they
regard as a characterIstic piece of Chinese
trIckery. I a haphazard commission of

terview to Count Ito at hiroshima. The
transaction so Car as can be learned Is without -
out Imperial warrant , amI will probably
have no practical result. Several Japanese

Dcc. -Immedlately ) aCer the establishing
of Pleld Marshal Ymagata's headquarters at
Kluln , reconnolterlnl parties were sent along
the coat road to the west and by the mountain -
tain passes toward the several passes at
which the Chinese were reported 10 be posted.
The result of their inspection was that Major
Genera ) Oseleo receIved orders to proceed to
Tallosan" . a point on the shore oC the Yellow
sea , near whIch the great naval bate was
Caught , and to take measures for opening \p

place any hostile body ' that mIght be found
In the neighborhood No dlnculy was an-
tcipated .n carrying out this duty , whIch
has already doubtless been fulfilled.
Simultaneously wIth Major General Oseko's
advance Major General Tatsuml was dispatched -
patched - from Hong When by the difcul
mountaIn route toward Moukden. On November -
vember lG he had passed many fortified
'
strongholds , nt any at which a powerful re
slstanco might have been made by a resolute
enemy , but which were all hurrIedlY deserted
as son a his approach became known.
SPLENDID DEFENSES ADANDONED.
The strength of some of the defensive
works was extraordinary , and the method of
theIr construction showed a thorough Caml-
larlty with modern engineerIng. At Jlorlen
and Fushln , where the road runs through
mountain passes , numerous forts have been
built o as to assist one another , and there
can be no question that I even a small body
'at Chinese had been really disposed to stop
the way at these points , the whole Invading
army might have been requIred to dIslodge
them. The entrenchments were oC earth and
sand , wIth : wals from ten to fifteen feet high
and surrounded by dItches six or eight feet
wide. The upcj y. . ot artillery and ammuni-
ton was abundant , and nothing was lacking
but the men to use them. I was a perpetual
surprise to come on these Corlll"alonl , all
excellently planned and apportioned as I for
the most desperate servIce , yet all vacant
and silent except for few animals left be-
hind. Why they should have been erected was
a question that everyone asked and no one
could nnswer. Most oC them were new or re-
cent enlargements of older slructures.
Although the columns of Generals Oseka
and Titsul1 arc not united , they are under-
stood to bo frequently In touch with each
other and can afford mutual lpport In case
of need. The advance guard oC the later
commander has reached the outskirts of Lao

BERLIN , Dec. -DeCore the Helchstag
voted this afternoon on the application of .
the 11blc Prosecutor for 11ermlsslon to pun-
Ish the socialist membcrs who on Thursday
a week ago , upon the opening oC the Relchs-
tag , refused to rise and cheer for the emperor -
peror , the universal opinion was that the
government had made a serious mIstake In
demanding that the Helchstag forego Its con
stitutional prerogatives and authorIze the 'Ju-
dlclal punishment of 1.lebknecht all the
other socialist members on the charge of Icso
'
maJeste. 'I was known on every side that
lie adverse decision oC the Hchstag committee -
tee to which the matter was referred had a
tremendous Influence upon the members ali
'thereoro nobody was surprised when the
Helehstag adopted , by a vote oC 1G8 to 5 ,
the report of the committee recommending
that permission be not granted to tIm public
prosecutor to take acton against the social-
Ists. The significance oC this decision can
horAly bo overrated , as It Is not merely a
defeat of the government proposal , but 1 dls- I
tnct rebuff for thc emperor himself , ns I Is
an open secret that ho was the author or this
attempt to make the Relchstag surrender
one of its privieges , ,
What the emperor will do In view oC this
moral slap In the face Is a question whIch
ho people are asking themselves. HIs well
known obstinacy of character gives promise
that he wi not sit quietly by under this
reverse and a remark which he made In
the course of an animated after-dinner conversation -
veraton at the omcers' mess oC the klng's
regiment at Uhland during his stay at
Hanover In the middle or the week Is
attracting attention. His majesty said :
"Darle days are at hand and 1 hope all oC
my officers wIll meet them unflinchingly. "
lAS WEAKENED HOHENLOIIE.
The fact that the demand for the prose-
cuton of the socialIsts emanated from the
emperor has also had a most forcible erect
In Germany and has greatly weakened popu-
lar faith both In the wIsdom and In the independence -
dependence or the new chancellor , whose
first appearance In tie Reichstag In his new
role was quite ' 1 disappointment. I Is true
nothing great was expected of him , but the
mechanical . unImpressIve fashion In which
ho read his speech sheet by sheet , had a
most depressing effect . even on the conserva-
tl'es , whlo the somnolent condition In which
ho sat In his chaIr In the Relchstae today
during the Important debates , oven making
eve/
allowance for the fact that he Is somewhat
Indisposed , was In no way calculated to enhance -
hence his prestige. The imprsslon now prd-
vals that the 10heniohe regime will be
short lived unless the chancellor quickly develops -
velops a more masterly grasp oC the siua-
thIs evidences.
ton than big mistake
The debate , however , was disappointing to
those who expected a sensation. Ar r Haren
had spoken In defense oC the committee's re
port Prince lohenlohe arose and said that
they were not called to discuss the remarks ,
but the acts of the socialists. As the pres- '
dent ( oC the Helchstag had declared that he
had no power to deal with the exeesses com-
mited , the only course which remained was
to appeal to the courts. ( Mocking laughter. )

ton."Why
"Why , then , " the chancellor rejoIned , "did
you not protest against the most abomInable
interpretation placed by Herr Singer upon
your not rising ? "
This point scored by Hohenlohe elicited
loud , cries of "Very good , "
"It was this , " continued the chancelor ,
"which Induced me to submit the public pros-
eculor's moton to the ( Helchstag. "
Count von Mlrabach said the socialists . had
placed themselves outside the statutes of the
state , and therefore It was not right that
they should not be prosecuted
SINGER MAKES ItEPLY
Singer then rose and poInted out that the
derisive laughter which followed the chan-
cellor's remark that the only means to pun-
lab socialists was to cal In the aid of the
courts came chiefly from the centrIst benches
antI was a sign that 10henlohe did not receive -
ceive the Cntrlst support. VOI Mirabache's
contention could only bl enforced by 1 vIola-
ton oC the constitution.
Von Koeler , minIster of justice , said this
government guarded jealously the privIleges
oC the house , but punishable offenses were
within the province oC the courts oC justice
and I was for the house to . decide the ques-
ton of the prosecution .
lennlngsen assured the house that ( Iho
national lberal were unanimously against
the proposal , preferrIng to increase the ills-
clplnary powers oC the president of the
Relehstg , which were lighter In Germany
than elsewhere .
This applicatIon , Debel claimed , to prose
cute deputes for their acton within the pe-
clhcts of Parliament would be Impossible
In Great Britain , America or I rance. This
assertion was followed by loud cries or "Go
to France : . emIgrate "
Debel , continuing amid frequent Interrup'
tons , amrmed that the ( socialists In remaining I
sllpg % ( on Thursday week were simply fuh- I
fIlling a mandate which they ( received from '
their constituents. Germans were wanting
In Independence and Ilublo spirits and were

CableSpecial Tohegramn-Thio ) sudden death
or Precllent John TholllOn , thin Canadian
Ilremler , according to information from . an
authoritative source communicant to your
correspondent , which leaves no room for
doubt , was directly due to the tedious formal-
Ites attending the royal council at Windsor.
Time session was abnormally long , lasting one
hour and twenty-five minutes , during the
whole of which time , according to usage , all
present save the queen were compeled to
remain standing In n respectful attitude
without movIng The severe strain told on
the youngest and most robust or the courtiers
present , and completely exhausted , the
premier. When released from the council
chamber he staggered to a chair , his
ghastly appearance excitIng alarm. IQ In-
medlalely became sick , and died In seven
minutes The accounts of his death were
toned down for the purose In order to obviate
the ( true conclusion that this distinguished
official was a martyr to the queen's insisting
on a rigorous observance of royal forms.
When Mr. Gladstone , the late premier , ex-
pressed Inability to bear the fatigue . he was
permitted to sit durIng thc royal functions at
WIndsor , but the queen never relished departure -
parturo from the custom , even In his case.
The quee'1 hersel oC late years , Is always
noticeably exhau'sted by the tedium of
lengthy councils , and the older ministers
avoid them ( whenever possible.
WILL THY A SMALL GAME
As a result or the consultation oC the
unIonist leaders , It bas been privately decided -
cided to raise oh the openIng oC Pdrlament ,

The motion Is only possIble by the consent
ot the speaker , whIch , owing to its patently .
holow character , be lay _ refuse.
The success oC the Russian loan has caused
the de-epest chagrin among the tory financial
firms here , which attempted to boycott the
loan. They claim to have succeeded In stop-
ping English subscriptions to a large extent
and state that not one-sixth of the lon was
bid for here , including the Rotiiciiihds' own
share , the overwhelming bulk oC the subscriptions -
scrIptons being from France and Germany.
Smart society Is greatly tickled by an
authentIc stor ot the marriage settlements
In the Teck-Grosvenor alliance. Thb duke of
Westminster originally proposed to allow the
young couple an annual Incone , oC $60,000.

foresaw that If by radical legislation or mis-
' should be

so she demanded the capital sum. The luke
reluctantly offered $1,000,000 , and this not
belng'lleemcd sufficient by the Tecks , 1 dead-
lock was threatened until a vIsit to Wind-
sor. The queem\ prevailed on the duke to
increase It by halt a million. The fact that
lie duke , who Is notoriously hard 01 money

Is regarded as a record achIevement for a
