A barrister of IJi.colns Inn. Wu 'I Inn

to . humanise tha administration of JuslIcb
In China. His memorial urging the re
moval of some of the mora barbarous
methods of death sentence and torture
waa approved by Imperial edict laat year,

taken place In the gaols of Tien Tain und

where there are foreigners to observe wnat
U going on. but still throughout practically
tha whole empire tha judicial methods, in
all civil and criminal cases, for tha ex
traction of evidence by torture and flog
ging are Identically the same methods at
barbarism which have been In existence
far centuries. Nothing could more clearly
show the distortion of the present Chinese
views of Justice than tha case of "the
lady from Pea Chuan," whose arrest for
kidnaping preceded the Shanghai riots.
There was an outcry at the arrest of this
woman on the chars" of kidnaping, for
was not kidnaping only slave dealing a
legitimate traffic sactloned by official
usuge purchasing little girls in Sse Chuan
cheap and reselling them dear at Canton
for purposes which need not be specified.
Jury TrlaJa Sot Wanted.
Recently Wu Ting Fung drafted a1 new
cede of procedure In civil and ctimitju
eases. The wirk, which was admired as a
literary effort, suggests, among other
things, trial by Jury. The Innovation Is
regarded with dismay by litigants, as tha
necessity of having to bribe a Jury as well
a the magistrate must add an Intolerable
burden to tha present cost of litigation.
Wu Ting Fang retires, discouraged by the
outlook, seeing no reasonable prospect ol

his waistcoat pocket and soon perceived
that a valuable watch had left him, in
company with a scarfpln and his purse.
Ho looked around, and perceiving a man
hurrying away as fast as he could go,
started In pursuit and was about to catch
the fellow by th collar when a couple of

by this dangrtrnua attack the American
rushed on. and overtaking the miscreant,
rendered him Incapable of further mischief
by a well directed blow from his fist, and
then gave him a sound thrashing. Thla
done, he recovered possession of the atoleri
articles and triumphantly committed th
pickpocket to the custody nf some police
man who had now arrived on the spot.

torn.'y general for a statement of all suits
brought under the Sherman anti-trust law
and the Interstate commerce law, together
with the facts as to their disposition.
Senator Heyburn also contended for the
label dates, and said that carcasses kept
In coM storage should be labeled as well
as canned meats. He ssid that meat de
generates even In cold storage and gave an
Instance within his knowledge In which
eighty men had been sent to bed by eating
cold storage bsef
Ti motion of Senator Proctor to send
th bill to conference was then agreed to
and Messrs. Proctor, Ilansbrnugh and Sim
mons were appblntod conferees bft behalf
of the senate.
Foraker Praise Rlklns Law.
When the. resolution was presented Sana
tor Foraker moved to amend by calling
for the extension of the statement so as to
make It cover suits brought under the
Elklns law.
la support of his amendment Mr. For
aker said he was satisfied that the state
ment would show that the Elklns' law cov
ers "every evil of which any human being
has made complaint since this railroad dis
cussion began."
I H cited a number of decisions Under
the law, Including that banded down In th
federal court at Kansas City yesterday.
Senator Bailey said that so far as he had
been abl to determine, some of the part lea
to the combination alleged had been con
victed while other had not tieen. He could
not understand how one party to a conspir
aoy could b considered guilty and others
not, but said: "If the courta will follow
this verdict by putting In prlaon every man
who ha violated the law they will have
done much to vindicate the law."
"To. Indeed," responded Mr. Foraker,
"and that la what I hav been contending
for the past five or six months."
He declared that If enforced the Elklna'
act would prove a remdy for all rebates
and discriminations. He called attention to
the fact that complaints are to be filed
under th law and aald that Ui Interstate
Commerce commission was now doing the
best work It has ever done In taking off I lid
lid and closed with the declaration that
th failure of th conference on th rail
road rata blft would be the most fortunate
thing that could happen for the country,
'for a more unnecessary or a more nils-
chlef-maklng law was never put on th
statute book."
After Senator Bacon had presented an
amendment asking for details aa to tha eg.
pendlture of IGO.UOn especially appropriated
for th prosecution of cases against the
laws mentioned, th resolution wss' laid
asid In order to permit the senate to pro
ceed with other business.

WASHINGTON, Jun 33. That there Is

provision of the agricultural appropriation
bill aa It rain from the hous of repre
sentatives. Is th opinion of Senstor Bailey,
a expressed In th senal today when
th consideration of Proctor's motion to
aend th bill to conference was resumed.
He based his criticisms on the clause re
lating lo the Inspection of stock entering
th packing hous. saying that it gives
a polic supervision that th federal gov
ernment canrot exercise. He suggested
thst th provision should be msde to road
so as to make It unlawful to transport
from one state to atfotber any beef or
beef produot that have not heen inspected
aa provided for bv law.
He contended that the provision ss It
stands is not so worded ss to make It
conform to the rouxtit ui lonal provision
concerning interstate commerce. The In
spectors could never determine which of
the ell lie, sheep or swine are tn go Into
Intei stale lomnierce, and h predicted there
would he another explosion ami anntlier
' agitation when the matter Is taken lnt
i the courts, ss he had no doubt it will If
there is no amendment.

Pure Food Bill.
The pure food bill was tsken up and
everything was smooth sailing until th
so-called "package amendment" was
reached and then squalls sprang up and
the legislative sea liecaiiie choppy.
Mr. Mann (III.), In charge of the hill,
offered the amendment, heretofore printed,
that the time the package wss put up must
be on the container, together with th
weight or measure on the outside of th
package.
A doxen members were on their feet Im
mediately after the reading of the amend
ment, "Mr. Chairman" bring heard all over
the house.
Mr. Sherman (N. Y.t offeied an amend
ment in substance, striking out the time
provision. Mr. Sherman xald that under
the penalty provided. the weight and
measure. If stated, must be correctly
stated, which he argued was very difficult.
He said tha this nss a most serious ques
tion. Involving as It did vast Interests, and
I It should not be hastily considered. It
would work a hardship on the big canner
to put the weight on each can, for caua
of standard size do vary in weight. '
Sherman Weighs Ketchup.
He told of having gone Into a big can
nery in Rochester, N. Y., and with a mem
ber of the firm weighed flfty glass Jars of
ketchup, supposed to be Identical In weight.
Bui Ihe bottles varied from 13 to 15 ounces,
when every effort had been made to make
the standard weight fourteen ounces. H
s.ild if eeiy can and every bottle inuat
contain the correct weight It would drive
many canneries out of business, becaus of
the incidental expense attaching ln the
weighing and in the marking of the can.
Mr. Clark (Mo.) wanted to know If It
, wer true that quart and pint hoiil-a wer
I one drink short.
I "I do not know as to that." said Mr.
j Herman. "The gentleman Is evidently talk
1 ing on tn product nf the corn grown 10
. his district. 1 am tslklng about fruits and
vegetables."
Mr. Keifer ) eltsd Instances of tomato
nd corn canneries In his district that
would be forced out of business If the tlm
package was put up must be put nn th
can together w it li the exsct weight.
Mr. Haves (Cal. I, In whose district can
ning industries run Into the tens of millions.
Insisted that the effort being made to label
the package with the measure and weight
would overturn business policies of a life
time and that to put inio package form a
j certritn amount of tiiacuita would be weil-
nigh impossible. '
I Sherman amendment adopted,
I The amendment of Mr. Sherman wa
j adopted -yeas. 112; nays, 4S.
The Sherman amendment Is lo the section
! describing what sbHll he deemed mis-
branded articles, and it Is as follows:
If In packsge form slid the contents are
sisted in teems of weliflit or niessure. they
are not plainly and correctly slated on
the oulside of the package.
The effectof the Sherman amendment I
to remove from the category of mlsbranded
articles food In package form unless ths
contents In weight or measure are mis-
1 stated. If stuted at all.
j The representatives of the southern tie
treated the house to an lntrutlve and x-
' haustlx debate nn whisky, hut the friends
' of the "straight" article were routed by
