CourtiKC of n Von n Mini Within the Union I.liici , The newspapers nay that a monument late to bo erected In honor of Samuel Davis , banged ns a spy at Pulaekt , Tenn. , November 27 , 1SC3 , by order of General G. M. Dodge. This spy was captured , writes John T. Hell In San Francisco Chronicle , by three members of the regiment of which Ias a member the Second Iowa Infantry and that regi ment was ono of tboso which formed a hollow square about the gallows when the execution took place. Davli was only 18 ycara old , a beardless boy , bright and handsome , who had left his homo only a short time before entering upon this desperate undertaking. His capture oc curred fifteen miles south of Pulaski , and complete plans of our camps , showing the location of our various regiments and bat teries , their strength , etc. , were found con cealed lo his clothing. The fact was dls- cloi'ed ' upon his trial by court-martial that thcso plans had been furnished him by porno ono within our lines and ho was told that If ho would make known his source of In formation ho would be given his freedom. This ho declined to do , nnd as the fact of his being a spy was cleaily established ho was sentenced to death and the erection of a gal lows for his execution was proceeded with In full night of the Jail In which the boy was conflnod. On the day of the execution the prisoner rode to the ) gallows ; In an ambulance , seated on his cotlln , accompanied by a chaplain , a band In front playing n funeral dirge , the ambulance surrounded by guards. When tbo procession arrived ono corner of the hollow squai-o opened and the chaplain , tbo plls- oner nnd four men bearing the cotlln en tered the Inclosuro. The cofilu was placed nt the foot of the gallows steps , nnd near It Davis and the chaplain kuelt In prayer. Then as the boy started up the steps an olllccr touched him on the shoulder and said : "Give me the name ot the man who fur nished you with the plans of out camps and you will be given your liberty with a cav alry escort to conduct you to General Bragg'a outposts at Chattanooga. " The lad looked about him. Only 18 years old , unused to war , alone In the custody of those ho deemed the enemies of hla country , surrounded by a thousand armed soldiers , their muskets Rlramlng In the sunshine , on an adjacent elevation several thousand resi dents of Pulaski , at his feet the coffin pio- pared for his body now pulsating with vig orous life , overhead the noose , directly In front the steps leading to the trap , and a disgraceful , dpath. , which , death , he could es cape btht ) whispering of a. single untile. For an Instant the boy hesitated , tbo men forming the hollow square holding their breath In suspense , for they were touched with * compassion , while the officer awaited a reply. Hut It was for only a moment ; the offer of IIo accompanied by a condition deemed dishonorable is brushed aside by this young hero ; ho mounts the steps and stands upon the trap ; the black hood Is drawn over the face , the noose Is adjusted , a spring Is touched , the trap falls , the slender body HWlngs and turns violently , then la still. And thus ended a tragedy wherein was displayed a courage never surpassed In any ago or country. MlKiiiny Cam- \ViiMliir.prton. . TACOMA , Wash. , Feb. 21. ( Special. ) J.

Mr. Curzcn , re plying to ft question In the House of Com mons today , enld lUirola's pledge respecting free ports In North China was conveyed In the following note : Count 'Muravloff ' hnn expressed grent sur prise nt the ngltntlon which appeared to prevail In Unglntul. both In the press nnd In ofllrl.il circles , on the subject ot recent events In China , where Unir'Nh nnd UUssInn Interests could not be seriously anlnROiil'tle.

Any such port will bo open for the commerce ot the world nud Rnglnnd , i\hoso trndo Inter ests nro so Important In this icglon , i.\ould shnro the advantage. In reply to .1 question n9 to the West African situation , Mr. Chamberlain aald ho expected n friendly and satisfactory settle ment , under the agreement with France , of which bo could not give details until the In vestigations In Paris were ended. The dif ficulties , ho observed , had not nrlacn regardIng - Ing the delimitation of the Say-Uoriiel line , but In the delimitation west of the Nlgor. Speaking generally ho would say that the competition of other nations hnd "compelled Great Hrll.ilti to adopt a more forward polby In the hinterlands of Us African colonies. From t io French standpoint ho could only admire the French policy , which had carved out for France nn enormous empire , from which it would In the future derive well deserved benefits. In conclusion , Mr. Chamberlain asserted lhaf the cabinet was united In Its African policy. He believed the country wn ? almost united , nnd that while ready to make con cessions for the sake ot maintaining peace ful rclntlons with foreign powers , the coun try would not allow Important British In terests to be sacrificed. Mr. Laboucherc's motion to reduce the colonial vote was then rejected by a vote of 224 to 27. During ttio dlscusslcu of supply T.

Curzon , under secretary of state for- foreign affairs , replied that tlu United Stairs government had constantly urged Great Urltntn to revise the Paris regula tions raillor than the treaty provided. Great Britain had always replied that the ques tion must bo decided on the evidence ot ex- perls. Aa expert Inquiry was then sug gested , a commission was appointed , anil it was subsequently decided to continue the commission. Michael Davltt sold he thought the Vnlted States had boon badly treated by Kugland , and not England by the United State * . Sidney Uuxton , radical , questioned ttio gov ernment as to Its pi ogress with the Guiana boundary arbitration. Mr. Curzon , In reply , called attention to the length of time necessary for delivering cases , and said ho could not promise an early settlement. ui.vuiiiiu\iv ! : u'n.i , in : .vititrrKit.

The secretary of state for the colonies , Joseph Chamberlain , as set forth in. a parliamentary paper Just Uaued proposes that In future the differences be tween the British South African company and the natives must bo submitted to the secretary of state , whoso decision will be binding.
