THE LOOTING IN CHINA.
Resolution of Inquiry Lnid on the
Table in the House.
fly U.ielutite Wire fiom The .Woclatn! Tie;'.
Washington, Jan. 1G. In the liouo
today Mr. Hull (Iowa), chairman of
the committee on military affairs, re
potted back the Do Armond resolution
calling on the war department for all
Information lclatlvc to the alleged ac
tion ot General Chaffee In protesting
against the looting of China, with thu
leconimendatlon that It He on tho
table.
Accompanying tlm leport Mr. Hull
submitted the letter of the secretary
of war, already published, explaining
the difficulty lu obtaining the required
information and pointing out that it
could not be procured until after tho
explrullon of the piesent congress.
Mr. DeArinond (Mo.), the author of
the resolution, said that he had been
moved to intiodiicu It by a paragraph
In the newspapers which was very
creditable to General Chaffee, lu which
it was leclted that ho had rebuked
oi piotestt d against the conduct of an
olllcer of n foreign go eminent In re
gard to tlm looting in China. Tho
parngiaph Indicated that neither thu
American commander noi the Ametl
can soldiers were responsible for tho
barbarity and dishonesty which hail
tnki'ii nlaeo In that milmimv rnuntrv.
He had desired only to pioeuie ottlclnl
confli mntlon of the reports, but tho
icasons given by the seci clary of war
for not piessins tne losoiution weio
entirely satisfactory to hlni.
The resolution wns then laid upon
the table and the house went Into com
mittee of tho whole and resumed the
consideration of the liver and harbor
bill.
LYNCHERS FOILED.
Jailer in Charge of Charles Letcher
Refused to Give Up Prisoner.
By Ksclmlto W'lre fiom The Associated Press.
l.euvuiiwoith, Kan., Jan. 16. It was
learned this afternoon that the city
Jul! wa visited late last night by a
body of masked men on horseback
who ordered the Juliet to deliver
Charles Letcher, a negro, whom they
declared was with Alexander In tho
assault and murder of Pearl Forbes,
Letcher had been anested for Insult
ing several women and sentenced to
bervo threo months In Jail. Jailer
Glynnon refused to give up tho pris
oner and tho timely appearance of oth
er otllcers prevented his being over
powered. The city Jail Is situated sonio dis
tance from tho county Jail and the ex
citement around tho latter place over
Alexander caused the nffalr at the city
Jail to pass off almost unnoticed. No
further trouble Is anticipated.

SECOND CLASS
(Contlnded from Ptc S.)
bo a fight, however, about the election
of the threo big heads of departments,
the director of public Bafety, the di
rector of public works nnd the director
of public charities. The law ns It
ttands nt piesent provides that coun
cils shall elect these ofllecrs. There Is
also n Supremo court opinion which
says that the old councils can elect
them. There Is likewise nn exceeding
ly well-defined rumor that tho Demo
cratic members of councils will take
advantage of the fact that the city's
legislative bodies are now Just evenly
divided politically nnd make an effort
to elect these officers' before April 3.
'Hint's where the fight will come In.
Hefore they con be elected there must,
of course, bo ordinances passed creat
ing these ofllces, outlining their duties
more fully nnd cxhaitslUcly than dooi
the act of assembly and fixing sal
aries. Such an ordinance might bo
passed through both branches of coun
cils, but there Is no question but
thnt It would be vetoed by Mayor
Molr. It would take fourteen votes In
each branch then to pass It over his
head and It would be mighty hard nnd
practically hopeless Job for the Dem
ocrats to securo that number.
If these heads of departments are
not elected before April 1, or before
tho appropriation ordinance for the
coming fiscal year Is passed, they can
not take olllce even. If they are elected
by the new councils, until April 1, 102,
for the simple reason that thorn would
bo no money appropriated to pay lliclr
salaries.
MA YOU IS CONFIDENT.
Ma.or Molr Is exceedingly confident
that tin; amendatory act prepared by
City Solicitor Vosburg, tnklng the elec
tive power out ot the hands of coun
cils anil making these three olllclals
appointed by the mayor, will be passed
by both blanches of the legislature 1m;
fore April 1. He returned home yes
terday, after spending several days In
Hanlsburg, and said ho had every
reason to believe that the net could bo
easily passed.
He has positive assurances, ho says,
that It meets with the hearty approval
of Senator Quay, and that his sup
porters will vote for It to a man. If
this act should lie passed before April
1, the mayor could then proceed to ap
point the heads of departments, with,
of course, the consent ot select coun
cil. If tho mayor vetoes the ordinances
which will be Introduced, outlining the
duties or these olllclals. It Is within the
realms of possibility that he may have
trouble In securing a combination of
hla appointments, In case he Is given
tho power by the legislature ot making
them.
A great deal or discussion has arisen
as to whether this city when It enters
the second class will entirely repudiate
Its third class charter or not. City
Solicitor Vosburg contends that where
there Is no express provision In the
second class charter covering a certain
point that the city Will continue under
the third class city law governing that
point.
For Illustration: The present second
class charter contnlns no provision glv-,
Ing the city the right to tax the street
railway companies. In the absence or
such a provision he contends that the
city can continue to operate under the
third class city provision, which gives
the city power to tax such companies
$100 per car.
QUOTKS A DKCISION.
In defense of this contention he
points to the decision of Judge Paxton,
of the supreme court, in the Wyman
case. In which that Jurist stated that
the transition from one class to the
other worked no changes In Its govern
ment except such as were made nec
essary by the new chnrter.
The present second class city charter
Is not at all complete. It contains a
number of omissions which do not nf
fect Pittsburg and Allegheny, becnuso
they are tilled by special acts applic
able to those cities only. There is, for
Instance, no term fixed for the mayor
In the general second class city act.
A number of the leading attorneys of
Pittsburg nnd Allegheny. Including
George Elphlnstoim and George Guth
rie, both recognized authorities on mu
nicipal law, hold that when a city en
ters the second class It drops every
thing that Is expressly third class.
They contend that to psrmlt such a
city to hold nny of Its third class city
laws would be permitting It to enjoy
special legislation.
In order to remove all doubt as to
i this point Mr. A'osburg has under con
sideration an amendment to be added
to the amendatory act providing that
second class cities may retain third
class laws in tho absence of second
class city laws covering any patllcular
point under consideration.

Kidney Pills I would now bo In my

menced to trouble me. At first I did
not pay much attention to It, but It
kept getting worse and other nymp
toins appeared. I dried many medl-
clnes. but without obtaining permanent
relief. J was so bad thnt blood passed
from me; my back ached so I could
not get up or down; I wns short of
breath, nnd finally! had to take to my
ls?d. I wns growing weaker nnd my
suffering becntne more Intense, und tlm
dootor said be was doing all he could
for me. I often wished nnd prayed
for death, for I had given up bope ot
getting' relief. My mother had Doan'a
Kidney Pills brought to iher notice, and
got n box from Matthews Brothers
drug store. 1 took them and the first
box did me so much good I got. more.
After the fourth box I thanked God
that I had found a remedy which had
