Topeka, Kan., May 7.—During the
investigation today of the affairs in the
Kansas insane asylum, A. M. Mason of
fiawreuce, a former attendant in the
institution, said that nil the new pa-

a condition of docility by order of the

necessary to have the patients under-
stand from the first that they would
have to obey the attendant®. For ths
purpose they were beaten, even be-
fore they hAd broken any of the insti-

tiary; Signor Mayer des Planches,
Italian ambassador; HIr Michael Her-
bert, British ambuassador: Baron Spec
von Sternberg, German representatiye
and H. G. Deering, secretary of the
British embassy.
Mr. Bowen first signed with the
three representatives separate proto-
cols for reference to The Hague trib-
unal of the question of preferential
treatment for the blockading power®
in the payment of their claims against
Venezuela, and immediately following
there were signed the convention® pro-
viding for the settlement of the allle’s
claims by several commisslons which
are to meet at Caracas this summer.
Mr. Bowen almost immediately
cabled to President Castro the brief
announcement "Last protocol signed.”
All of the three nets of The Hague
protocols are in the English language.
Mr. Bowen tomorrow will send copies
of the protocol® to the various peace
powers and request their adherence to
it. He expects to sail from New York
on the Philadelphia May 16 for Car-
acas.
The striking feature of The Hague
protocol I® the concluding clause of
article 1, which provides that in case
The Hague decides adversely to the
blockading power®’ contention for pref-
erential treatment, the manner of pay-
ment of the other creditor nations shall
be such “that no power shall obtain
preferential treatment.”
The emperor of Russla, according to
the terms of the protocol, is to be in-
vited to select from the members of
the permanent court of The Hague the
arbitrators to constitute the tribunal.
The tribunal is to meet Heptember 1,
1903, and a decision must be returned
within six months thereafter.

so there be no infringement of the es-
tablished ethical principles of the as-

Dr. Harris of New York was adopted
unanimously amid tumultuous and
prolonged applause. Dr. Harris said
that the association is to be congratu-
lated on the fact that by the adoption
of their report an end is put to the
controversial question which has dis-
turbed the peace of the meetings for
many years and that the relation the
code of medical ethics bears to the

Suspended the Service.
Postmaster General Payne today
telegraphed Mr. Conger as follows:
"Investigate full case of John C. All-

service on route will be suspended un-
til you report facts in the case.”
Postmaster General Payne later said
that if the facts were as reported, only
two courses of action would be open,
namely, to abolish the route and leave
the people thereon without service or
to send soldiers to the scene to pro-
tect the carrier in the performance of
his duty. Mr. Payne said the former
course was the more probable. He
called attention to the civil service
status of the carriers and said that the
appointees were secured through the
civil service commission, their selec-
tion therefore not being optional with
him.
