In China Elicits Edwin Chi’s
Views on tbo Subject*
'Washington, ■Sept. 10.—The tetter of
Hon. J. Russell Young, American min
ister to China during the administration
of President Arthur, giving Jila views
concerning the delivery to the Chinese
authorities of two ocousetl soles at
Shanghai and insisting that thereby
"the.American flag-had been humilia
ted" wus shown to Acting Secretary of
State Edwin F: Uhl today. He said the
communication emanating from Mr.
Young, whose official residence in Chi
na and Intimate acquaintance with the
history and limitation ot extra territo
rial Jurisdiction in that country would
naturally cany much weight.
"And yet." said Mr. Uhl, "the commu
nication Itself falls to Infer the neces
sary character of tho instructions un
der which our representatives In China
and In Japan can alone extend prelec
tion to the subjects of the other coun
try during the suspension Of diplomatic
intercourse between the two govern
ments. (His statement that this govern
ment ’had solemnly promised to pro
tect as we would American citizens, the
Japanese hi China.’ indicates misinfor
mation or mlsconjecture of <|he essen
tial nature of those ^instructions. The
right to exercise Independent Jurisdic
tion over foreigners In China and Japan
rests wholly upon treaty stipulations
and the protection so conferred la an
express conventional grant to particular
Individuals and cannot he expandej to
Include others by aisrimilation. By ret-
son of the existing war between China
and Japan, diplomatic intercourse was
Interrupted' between 'the two govern
ments and each requested of the United
States the Interposition ’of Its good of
fices for the protection of the subjects
of each in the territory of the other.
“Our relation to those parties was
that of strict neutrality and cf neocs-
eity, protection could only be exercised
toy our representatives at Toklo und
Pekin and to friendly offices unofflolilly
and in a manner consistent wi th the po
sition' of Impartial amity. The govern
ment ct the United States could not,
undertake to bring the subjects of each
power within ihe-Jur!i*l£:tloa of Its min
is tens or consuls, nor Would it be justi
fied In allowing its legations or consul
ates to be made an asylum for those
claimed to be offenders against the law
of the local government Japanese sub
jects In China remain the subjects of
Japan as they were before hostilities
began and must of necessity respond to
the law of China when charged with
offense against the same. So with the
subjects of China In Japan. M assent
ing to the request of Switzerland that
the agents tof the United States In China
should afford protection to Swiss citi
zens in the absence of Helvetic repre
sentatives there, our agents as early
as 1871 were Instructed that they could
net take Judlclat cognizance of charged
against Swiss citizens. In a circular ad
dressed to the representatives of this
S overnment In foreign countries by the
epartment of state on December 15,
1871, appeared the following:
•• ’You are Informed that you are not
expected to become o> diplomatic or con
sular Officer of the Swiss republic.which
Is prohibited by the constitution of 'the
United States to officers of the United
States <who are citizens. The intention
Is that you should merely use your good
offices in behalf of any Swiss in your
vicinity who might request them In the
absence of a diplomatic representative
of Switzerland, and with tho consent
of the authorities where you reside.’
“An Instruction to our minister in
China dated July 25. 1872, contained tho
following:
“ The protection roferreU' to must
necessarily be confined to the personal
and unofficial good offices qf such func
tionaries, although when exercised to
this extent merely, this can properly be
done only with the consent of the Chi
nese government.’
■tin fact." said (Mr. Uhl, "this point
was perfectly understood, when the gov
ernments of China and Japan requested
the protection of the agents of the
United States for their respective sub
jects. and the aotlon of this govern-
metibwas necessarily confined to in
structing our ministers and consuls in
those countries to use their unbfficial
good offices with the assent of the gov
ernment to which .they were accredited
In favor of the subjects of the other
found within its territory, with express
exclusion of the assertion of the right
to entertain Jurisdiction over them. In
this nay. Japanese In China had. pre
cisely the same degree of friendly in
tervention conceded In their behalf as
Cblneoe In JaiRtn. anti tho Jupintie
government neither claimed nor expect
ed its subjects In China to receive any
greater degree of protection under the
"In asserting, as he does, that 'If a
Japanese subject within the Shanghai
jurisdiction was charged with crime the
cooiul general, as a judicial officer,
ooukt have weighed the evidence and
determined the judgment,’ ex-M! outer
Young seemed to have overlooked the
fact that the judicial powers of our min
isters and consuls In CW.n and Japan
are <bv sections iOS3 and 1081 Re-.-iaed
Statutes ts be exercised only under tho
provisions cf the t react as with thee?

’tit may be noted Incidentally that

tary ot legation at this capital. In a
rxerrt Interview, sneaking of tho re
ported action .of Consul General Jerni
gam said that It was entirely In con
formity with the Japanese interpreta
tion of the authority and power of neu
tral consuls in a belligerent country,
and that should Japan suspect any Chi
nese subject resident in Japan of being
openly hostile to the Japanese govern
ment or believe that Justice warranted
his arrest. Japan would not recognize
the jurisdiction of sny neutral consul
bver the sublert. And. in a stUI later
interview, he Is reported ns saying: 'Bo

WARRANTS ISSlED.
Governor Stone and Other Officers to
Be Arrested For Isaulug Stato Money.
Jackson, Miss., Sept. 10.—Warrants
were sworn out today for the arrest of
the following state officer* of Missis
sippi: J. M. Stone, governor; W. W.
Stone, auditor; J. J. Evans, state treas
ure-.
William J. Burns, special agent of
the secret service bureau at Washing
ton, who lias Urn hero fur tin- last two
months working on tho special warraut
ratty made affidavits against each of
tlie officials named before United States
Commissioner L. II. .Moseley, charging
them with, under section 0,4:10 of the
revised,.statutes of tho United States,
Issuing IjrJW.ono of .Mississippi special
warrants, charged to he In the simili
tude- of United States currency. Tho
warrant was placed in the hands of
Deputy United Stairs Mnis-ial .1. K.
MoNeely. Auditor Stone appeared be
fore the commissioner and entered into
a personal recognizance of #1,0IM) for
his appearance at ill! November term
of the federal court, waiving exatnlna-
t.on, • The warrants have not yet been
served on UovcAor Stone, who was
officially engaged, nor on Bute Treas
urer Evans, wlto Is out of the city. They
will he served on the governor tumor-
row autlxra'tho treasurer when be re
turns. ...
The affidavit contains three charges,
covering each of the three denomina
tions of warrants with a photographic
print of hutli the front and the back of
same. These charges allege:
“That ou June 23, ISO l, the aforesaid
iuentloued state officers did unlawfully
und feloniously, at Jackson, Miss, atnl
without dltact,on of any proper officer
of the United States, print pliotgraphs,
make and cause to he' printed, photo
graphed and made, and aided In .print
ing, photographing and making a cer
tain photograph print, an impress in
t'oo likeness of national hunk currency
of the'said United States.”
Then folhr.v* tihee denomination of
the warrant, with a photograph print
of Its face and back: "All being done
contrary <to the form of the statute or
the Unified States, made and provided,
end against the peace and dignity of
the' United tSakes.”
The papera were pnlpUTcd by District
Attorney ee and Assistant District At
torney Henry. The state officers have
been expecting Wheze proceedings for
several days and were not, cherfoce, tho
least surprised at tlhem. They appear
not at all surprised and are sanguine
of a suceessiftti termination of bite Is
sue. These warrants were iBsned In ac
cordance with anU act passed by the
last legislature, making It the official
duty of these officers to execute the
same. The act provided for 8200,000 of
the warrants,
Judge J. A. P. Combipeffi; ex-chlef
Jutklce at the supreme? court of this
state, Who has been retained to repre
sent th suit, said .tonight: "I um confi
dent that the prosecution will end in
■the ulter discomfiture of the govern
ment. Tho proceedings against the
state officers, under a law passed by
congress to protect the national Issues
against forgery by evH-dtspoifel" per
sons, ts utterly Indefensible, and can
only be accounted for by assuming ttrtit
there to <l> total mlsupprehonslon. by the
official directing It.”
SOME RICH DEVELOPMENTS

tee’s Investigation Yesterday,
New York, Sept. 10.—The police In
vestigating committee resumed Us sit
tings In part thvo, superior court, today.
Central Office Detedtlvo Hanlon was
'the first witness sworn. Lawyer Golf
at first endeavored to prove through
She witness thait the police were in
league with 'the pawnbrokers of l>.te
city for'mutual benefit. Detective Han
lon admitted that persons who recov
ered property from the pawnshops had
to pay the brokers the U'mount of
money for which the property had been
pledged by thieves. Hanlon also ad
mitted that he knew 'Uhls was wrong,
an the property could be recovered
without any payment, but It wus the
easiest way, he explained, Und central
office detectives allowed it. He dentAl
ilho police were benefited financially In
the matter, however. Hanlon wore 0
fine gold waltch, which Mr. Goff ex
amined and found thait It contained a
nutme other than that of Halon. The
detective eald he hail bought It at n
pawnshop. It might have been stolen
property, the udmkltod in answer to a
question, but it had never struck htm
until Mr. Goff mentioned the matter.
Mr. Goff Caused a big laugh When he
asked the wilt ness solemnly: "Have you
ever been taken for a country guy?"
To which tho witness answered Jut): ns
scrlouky, “No, sir.”
Lawyer Goff t*ien changed the subject
and began questioning the witness re
garding the green goods men. Ilalon
denied tha't he represented the police
department among those simple men
fWho gave away thousands of doKUra
of good money for a few hundred, and
was then excused.
After several "s'tecrers.” "turners',
