THE CHINESE OUTRAGES
Minister Denby la Exerting Ills Very
.lleNt Efforts.
By Southern Associated Press.
Washington, Ang. ‘J.—Appeals for the
protection of American missionaries in
China have been coming into the Stall
Department this morning by telegraph
and mail front religious organizations
who have missionary stations in tii.it
country. Some of them allege that Miu
ister Denliy is not doing Lis duty and
indieate a slate of feeling that might
naturally be caused by the press dis-
patehes showing the outrages, but it is
hardly consistent with the efforts which
tlie department, Mr. Denliy and Ad¬
miral Carpenter are making to secure
adequate protection for all Americans
iu China. Ihe few 1 dispatches received
at the department front United’ States
consuls in China have liee .11 acted on
promptly. Minister Denby has been in¬
structed lo use bis best endeavors to
provide protection for Americans.
Mr. J. Courtney Hixon, the United
States .consul at Foochow, has in¬
formed the State Department that
the American Mission Chapel at Pan¬
yak has been looted and directions
have been cabled to Mr. Denby to
take cognizance of the matter. This
is believed to be the place given in
press dispaches as Inghok. It
not appear upon any official maps
spelled as the press have it, but it is
understood to be 40 or 50 miles from
Foo Chow. Naturally the transmis¬
sion of such unfamiliar nomenclature
over thousands of miles by operators
by various nationalities is very diffi¬
cult. The State Department has found
some difficulty in identifying the
places where missions are situated,
frequently small towns which are In
many instances omitted from the map.
The letters and telegrams received
from missionary organizations in this
country have been answered promptly
and coupled with the information that
Minister Denby is doing all that can
be done to protect Americans, and ex¬
pressing confidence in his ability to
secure the best results. It would be
of great help to the Department if
all the American missionary societies
having missions in China would speed¬
ily send the details requested and es¬
pecially of those who have written in
regard to current outrages.
Righteous Indignation.
New York, Aug. 9.—A. B. Leonard,
D. D., corresponding secretary of the
Methodist Episcopal Church Missionary
Society, said this afternoon regarding
the recent Chinese outrages, The
cablegrams which I received during the
last few days fully confirm the publish¬
ed reports of molt violence In China.
From them I judge that our Govern¬
ment is lax in demanding protection
for our citizens in China from that na¬
tion. I notice that English citizens
is Hong Kong held on indignation meet¬
ing at which several telegrams were
It seems to me England and
must do somthing more than to
simply demand indemnity for property
destroyed. That policy has been pur¬
sued ever since missions were es¬
tablished there. People have been kill¬
ed, property has been destroyed there
time and again and Chiua has gotten
off by paying indemnities and without
giving any guarantee for the securty
of life. If the Chinese Government
is not aide to protect foriegners it is
time it is known and understood then
foreign governments will send and take
a hand in this matter of protection.
I)r. Leonard refused to give out
publication the letter which he sent to
Secretary Olney as a protest against tlie
inactivity of the United States Govern¬
ment. Neither the Episcopal nor Pres¬
byterian missionary societies have been
informed of outrages.
Rev. Ellwood, D. D., secretary of tlie
Presbyterian board of missions said to
a reporter this afternoon; “When any
of onr missionaries have been killed tty
a mob we are sure to be notified by
cable at the earliest possible moment.
Since no notifications have arrived we
feel assured that such disaster has not
befallen our missionaries.
United States .Minister Denby, who
lias befit criticised by several prominent
opponents of missionary societies for not
taking steps to investigate outrages and
demand satisfaction for cruelties infiiete I
spoil American missionaries, is defen 1
ed by Dr. Ellwood, who says in this re¬
gard: I regard Minister Denby as one
of the most efficient and satisfactory
representatives that our Government lias
in China. He has shown an intelligent
ireciation of the offices of missions,
■rteil himself to secure protection of
missionaries, as well as of other resi¬
dents, and to claim for them indemnity
win n they have suffered losses.

An Escaped Prisoner ruptured—.Mrs.
F. A. Thomas Head.
Atlanta, Cia., Aug. 9.—(Special)—A very
interesting and important caee is now
being considered at the Oapttol. it is Hie
dispute over the right of way of the Cen¬
tral Railroad into the Atlanta Union De¬
pot and the State of Georgia, which has
laid claim to this right of way on the
ground that it is a part of the original
grant to the Western and Atlantic Rail¬
road. The strip of land runs from For¬
syth street to Loyil and is estimated to
lie worth $100,(100. It- passes directly
through the heart of the city.
The Central Railroad came into posses¬
sion of it liy the purchase of the Macon
and Western Railroad, which was the
owner of the original line from Atlanta to
Macon. The Macon and Western had a
deed to the right of way made by Samuel
Mitchell in 1846, but the State claims that
Mitchell had already included their strip
in need lo the Western and Atlantic in
1811, two years before the title claimed by
the Macon and Western. The Central
Railroad has, however, been in continuous
and undisturbed possession of the property
for over twenty years and claims that this
would make ito title valid even if ihe
Mitchell was not good. On the other hand
the State claims that its title never lapses.
The Legislature in order to settle the
dispute authorized an appointment of a
special committee and Governor Atkinson
named Judge John L. Hopkins, of Ai-
antt, Hon. H. W. Hill, of Meriwether and
Col. J. H. Jones, of Dalton. Attorney
General Terrell and Special Attorney W.
A. Winstock represented the Slate’s in¬
terest while Hie Central Railroad s attor¬
neys Lawton and Cunningham represent
that end.
The Myers Case.
Atlanta, Ga.. Aug. 9.-(Special)—The
hearing of the motion tor a ne w trial in
the Myers case which catnc up before
judge Hart, at Union Point today, was
rot concluded, but goes over until August
26th, when Judge Hart will come to At¬
lanta to conduct the hearing. In continu¬
ing the hearing Judge Hart framed an
order that all affidavits in the ease muwt
be tiled at least three day.- before the hear-,
ing. The attorneys for the defense have
been presenting many new affidavits with¬
out allowing the Slate time to meet them,
the latest being tiled late yesterday. This,
of course, puts the prosecution at great
disadvantage and Judge Hart’s order was
framed on their application. One of the
newest affidavits in the celebrated ease is
to the effect that Col. W. C. Glenn of
counsel for the prosecution undertook to
juggle with one of 'the jurors. The State
will meet this affidavit and Ihe others al¬
leging the discovery ot Brown Allen wtih
counter affidavits which they believe will
defeat the motion for a new trial.
Lacewcll Recaptured.
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 9.—(Special)—John
Lacetvell the man who escaped from Jailer
Mardis yesterday, after having been sur¬
rendered to the sheriff by his bondsmen,
was retaken between 1 and 2 o’clock thin
morning, about five miles from the city.
Laeewell was under $2,000 bond for assault,
with indent to murder, and after his es¬
cape yesterday from the jailer, who had
shown him the kindness of going with
him to his lawyer’s office, a reward of $100
was at once offered by the sheriff. Lace-
well is now under close confinement in
the county jail. He declares that he did
not', intend to skip out, but only wanted
to gel rid of a pistol isffore he was search¬
ed by the jailers, and thus escape the pen¬
alty for carrying concealed weapons.

Atlanta, Ga., Aug 9.—(Special)—Mrs. I<\

Senntor Cnffrcy OpeuH Argument for
tlie Planters.
By Southern Associated Press.
Washington, I). C., Aug. 9.—The
hearing to convice Comptroller Bow¬
ler that lie should pay the sugar
bounty as authorized by the last Con¬
gress was continued today, Senator
Caffrey, of Louisiana, taking the floor.
In opening he said he understood Mr.
Bowler to maintain that the power to
say a law is not a law because in¬
valid for unconstitutionality was
lodged In the executive branch of the
Government and that an executive
officer, by virtue of his office and of
the statutes, had the right to ques¬
tion the constitutionality of a law.
Mr. Bowler remarked that that view
was substantially correct. Senator
Caffrey contended that the judicial
power was lodged in the judicial de¬
partment alone and that the law in
question was constitutional. Even
conceding the act to be unconstitu¬
tional, the power of Congress to ap¬
propriate money was unlimited, es¬
pecially when that body attempted to
repair a wrong or Injury inflicted by
Itself. The Government, he said had
been conducted since its foundation
under the Constitution and no such
claim as was now advanced by tlie
comptroller had ever been made be¬
fore. It was a suit between the ex¬
ecutive and legislative act brivgU^ ortn^chlef of
the Government. Any
of one of the great departments or
one of his subordinate officers, was tlie
act of the department itself, and In
this case we have the extraordinary
spectacle presented of an executive
officer trying to thwart, by constitu¬
tional doubt, the act of the legislative
bran ffit. The citizen and the citizen
only ne held was armed with the
power of • questioning the constitu¬
tionality fot any act and it must be
tested th ^he judicial branch not be of in the the
Oovernmeift. It could
nature ofcthfhgs, he said, that this ex¬
traordinary “power was vested in the
executive branch of the Government.
Senator Caffrey spoke until 1 o’clock,
when a recess was taken until 2
o’cloA. Resuming his remarks after
luncheon Senator Caffrey said that
Senator Manderson had shown that
for a long period of years it has been
the policy of the Government to
grant bounties to stimulate trade and
pommerce. Under the Constitution
Congress had the right to regulate
commerce and to legislate for its
benefit. He held that in granting the
bounty in question Congress had in
contemplation the increase of the pro¬
ducts of the country; therefore the
benefit of commerce and the people.
In this case Congress, in view of the
industrial depressfon had taken of a
wide, comprehensive and just view
the question.
During the late war he said, the
Government had received a shock, a
jar it was thought would throw the
Constitution car off the track, but
after the carnage was over, all forces
marched in the way pointed out by
the Constitution and in one direction.
The Constitution had returned to its
basis unmarred by the dreadful con¬
flict. The step contemplated by the
comptroller, said the senator, was one
of fearful responsibility. If the execu¬
tive and judicial branches of the Gov¬
ernment were merged into one we
would have a monarchial form of Gov-
ernment. If the framers of the Con-
stitutlon had thought this possible
under the Constitution as it stands
it would have been drawn differently.
The evil consequences which would
flow from such a grant were so
dangerous fhat they had never
thought of such a thing.
Mr. Bowler asked several questions
regarding decisions as to the constitu¬
tionality of the law. Senator Caffrey
In his answers held that while minor
courts could pass on such matters, a
decision could only bo rendered by
the Supreme Court of the United
States.
At the conclusion of Senator Caf-
frey’s remarks an adjournment was
taken until tomorrow, »b.cu Judge
Semmes, of Louisiana, will lie heard.

On Hie other ha ml in other quarters ot
the Treasury there seems to lie a feeling
that during this tiioiMli ami September
there will lie unusually large withdraw

This fear is based mi the assumption
that according to the terms of the eon-
tract any bonds offered before October

that no such bonds will lie offered tin
less I lie conditions requiring their is
