After All the Denials It Turned Out That Sun Yat Son Was Really Restrained, and Salisbury Promptly Com- pelled His Release. LONDON, Oct. 24. —The Marquis of Sal- isbury has demanded the immediate re- lease of Sun Yat Sen, the Chinese physi- cian, said to be a British subject, who was, according . to the statement of his friends, kidnapcd while passing the Chi- nese legation here and is held a prisoner there on the charge of conspiracy to over- throw the Mantchoo dynasty. . The sensational story of The Globe is confirmed, although there are various re- ports of the manner in which the capture was made. Sir Halliday Macartney, counselor of the Chinese legation, has coins out in an interview protesting stron g- ly against the statement that the man was captured in the street. “He was not even induced to visit the legation,” said Sir Halliday, “but came there of his own accord more than once, believing that he would not be recognized, with a view to spying on the ofllcials there. He was recognized and arrested.” Sir Halliday Macartney clai _s that the man was a Chinese subject, b t declines to give further information. The man’s friends in London claim that he is a Brit- ish subject. He has means of‘icomm'uni- eating with his friends, and he has con- veyed to them the intelligence that he fears that he will be poisoned or starved to death, having had practically nothing to out since his'ar’rest. The prisoner, Sun Yat Sen, practiced as a physician in the United States before coming here. He arrived in England on the steamship Germanic on Oct. 1 and took chambers at 8 Gray’s Inn place. The officials of the Chinese legation have flatly denied the story that an Eng- lish judge was applied to by the friends of Sun Yat Sen for a habeas corpus and have declared the inability of the judge to interfere. British Opinion. The Standard says in an editorial: “If the man was kidnaped, Great Britain has a right to demand his release. It is quite clear that he cannot be executed or sub- mitted to an. inquisitorial examination while within our shores. ,We trust that China will realize the importance of the issue and will retire with good grace from an untenable position.” The Daily News says: “The rights 'of extraterritcriality merely protect the law- ful inmates of legations. Sun Yat Sen must be released forthwith. ” The story published by The Globe is that the Chinese gd'vernment learned a. year ago of a conspiracy to seize the vice- roy of Canton as the first step toward the overthrow of the Mantc'hoo dynasty. The . importation into Canton of 400 coolies ‘ from Hongkong arouséd‘suspicion; leaders were arrested and confessed,.and one of them, Dr. Sun Yat Sen, escaped to Amer- ica and thence to London. The doctor has been missing for a week or more, and his English friends declare that he was seized by two Chinamcn as he was passing the legatlon and thrust inside. Dr. J amss Cantlie, who brought the case to the notice of theauthorlties here, says in an -inter_,view that he knew Sun Yat Sen intimately. in Hongkong during 1887, and. that the Chin'aman came to London on his advice to pursue his med- ical studies, as he was in trouble with the Chinese government. Dr. Cantlie saw Sun Yat Son in Honolulu last March and saw him daily here. He said: “I received information on the 17th that Sun Yat Sen was a prisoner and ‘ about to be sent to China, where he would be'beheaded.” The Globe this afternoon says: “The deepest resentment ,would be felt against any government which permitted this out- rage upon a man who has come to London for protection to go ' unredressed. The Chinese embassy must understand that public opinion will not allow legal friction to abrogatc protection.” T113 Embdssy “'atched. The detectives have formed a complflete cordon around the Chinese legation, eyery door and window is watched, and they have been ordered to seize Sun Yat Sen and release him if he is brought out. The Marquis of Salisbury today read a number of affidavits in the case, and im- mediately sent a strongly worded letter to the Chinese envoy, pointing out that the method adopted by the legation in arrest- ing Sun Yat Sen was distinctly not need- ed, as the courts were open to the Chinese officials to obtain any criminal or other legal process. The premier also said that he could not fail to point out that the act savored of unfriendliness, as a seeming violation of the right of asylum to which England was committed by every tradi- tion and belief, and he asked the envoy to immediately release the imprisoned China- man and so avoid further unpleasantness. Later in the day Sir Halliday Macartney, the counselor of the Chin‘ese “legation, called at the foreign office and said that Sun Yat Sen would be released without prejudice to the rights of the legution which were involved. An inspector of police and Sun Yat Son’s friend, Dr. Cantlie, who first raised the question of the Chinaman’s imprison- ment, went to the Chinese legatlon at 4:30 p. m. with a letter from the foreign office, and not long afterward they emerged from a side door with Sun Yat Sen, entered a cab and drove to the foreign office, where Sun Yat Sen made a formal statement of his case. His release was witnessed by a large crowd of people. A representative of the press was in- formed this afternoon that in official cir- cles the detention of Sun Yat Son at the Chinese legation is regarded as 3 “mon- strous abuse of the privileges of the lega- ticn. ” Judge Brown Ill. NEW YORK, Oct. 24.——-Judge Addison Brown, who presides over the criminal branch of the United States circuit court of this district, has been suffering from a severe cold for several'days.

Bryan entered Illinois today. ' The first speech was made at Danville. Addresses followed at 17 other points. At Danville Mr. Bryan said in part: “I had an old friend in congress whose name is familiar to you, HOn. Joseph G. Cannon. I.want to read to ‘you what he said in 1878.. ask you to remember: ‘Again the senate amendment takes away free coinage for silver and leaves free coinage for gold. Now, silver is just as much the money of the constitution as gold and should have just the same treatment in every respect as gold. ’ That is what we are asking for today—that silver shall have the same treatment in every respect as gold. -We are asking today for exactly what Mr. Cannon asked for 18 years ago, but he tells you it would wrong the country to have now what he wanted then. But let me read further: ‘And when you discrim- inate against one of the precious metals in favor of the other by restricting thence of one as contemplated by the senate amend- ment as to silver you that far- fetter the use of money in measuring the values and making the exchanges of the conditions of the country and fall just that far to give the necessary relief and assistance to the business of the country that wise legisla- tion should and would give.’ That is right, my friends. When you discriminate against silver and fetter, silver you are simply trying to put it in the power of a few men to corner the money market.” Georgia Fusion Rumor. E' ATLANTA, Oct. 24. -—-It is learned here on what is believed to be unimpsachablc authority that fusion was agreed on at Chicago yesterday between Senator Jones and Populist Committeeman Washburn. As a result Mr. Washburn left Chicago for Nashville, and Mr. H. W. Reed left At- lanta last night for the same place. where they 'will meet tomorrow afternoon. Im- portant correspondence was in progress yesterday between Democratic National Chairman Jones and the national commit- teeman for Georgia. Senator Jones wired his representative here in substance as fol- lows‘: “We must accede to the demands of the Populists for fusion in Georgia.” The reply in substance was: “The Populists of Georgia don’t want fusion. They demand a surrender.” To this Senator Jones responded: “If those are the facts, use your. own judgment. ” It appears from this that a general plan of fusion satisfactory to the Populists has been agreed on between Messrs. Washburn and Jones. The Day at Canton. CANTON, 0., Oct. 24.—-Major McKinley was in good health and spirits today, and Mrs. McKinley war at the breakfast table after a slight indisposition yesterday.
