More sober view.j about ChinA now prevail here, owing, doubtless, to the fact that Count Von Bnlow is known to entertain reason 1 able ideas about Germany's tangibly interests therein, and that his influ ence, as Imperial Chancellor, upon tlio impetuous Emperor, and ?specially in foreign affairs, is deeidedly greater than Prince Hohenloe's. It is now generally believed here that the Chi nese muddle will .slowly but surely unravel itself and lead to a satisfac tory iFStic without necessitating any furtiier large amount of actual hos tilities, or nn elaborate strategic eain paiin.

Tho force of the explosion. tore away the walls of the commission Ktoro Iio-uhcw fronting on Washington fr't.reet and caused them to collapse, falling all at onoo iu a mass, and Hanus burst out from the Tarrant building and caught tho - wr^ck.

Griffith. Superintendent Stftto .J'enltentlary, Columbia. H. C. Do.tr Sir: On tho 22d inui. you Wl'Olo to this office as followu "When the present board of <11 r?-v tors entered upon tho discharge ci" their duties, they Jouud unite a num. her of convicts, hired out hy tholr prodocoiaors In office, who had heen convicted of nuirdi v. rapo. arson ami manslaughter. Upon reading tuvtiop fi(!5 (2729) of tli? revised statutes, 1 find that It la forbidden to hiro out convicts eonviciod of 'any of tluvo ofTvnftos. Tho present bonisl k? In doubt, however, whether It la now itn duty to recsll nurh of thtwo iirldonor* who are etiil In confinement and keep them within tho Jurisdiction of the pimtentiary nutnoruies proper. or whether the action of the previous board Is final In tho matter. . nd bind ing upoh\tho presont board. 1 there fore write to auk tU.it you will kind ly nl\e ine your offielal opinion upon (his nuittvr, and advice mo what ao t.lon the hoard should tako, if any, in regard U> the tuine." I beg to reply as follows: Section SG&, criminal statutes 1b as follows In part: "The board of direc tor of the penitentlary are hereby authorized and empowered to lease, or hire out any convicts In the peniten tiary, except convicts under scnteuco for murder, rape nrson and num tJuughter * " You will notice that the use oi the words "authorized and empowered" evidently Implies that but for this provision tho board woute. not have the authority and power to lease convicts and that such authori sation and ompjwoiing is limited ex pressly hy the word "except pieced lug t>e naming of certain clnssm not por^, fflnittod to bo hired out. Ho that to my mind It follows that no attempt on the part or any preceding beard to hire out theso convicts would or could bo construed to bo a valid contract, but. on the contrary, would bo con strued ultra vires and of none effect. Such being the case these convicts are beyond U.o limits of the penitentiary in violation of the law and it becomes the duty of the pie-ent board to have them return to the Avails of the prill tent lary or property exclusively under the control of the authorities of tho penitentiary such.as the farms. It is clou- that th^ action of tho previous hoard is not final in the matter, nor binding upon you. Section <>T;i of tho "criminal s'atutos directs "no convicts rfiall bo hired out, as provided in the foregoing sec tion, unless such convicts shall be and remain under tho supervision of a sworn officer and guards appointed by the superintendent of the penitentiary: ? * * such offlcrr and guards to bo responsible to the superintendent of the pel)itentlary and to hold their of flce >;ubje< t to removal by the sui>erin* tendent; * ? * The superintendent and <1 hectors of the penitentiary shall pro j;crihe the rulus and regulation* to b? observed by s.vld officer and guarus In all <a6^s:" and art. xil. sec. 9 of the constitution of 1895 reads c.b follows: "Tho pcuiten..ary and the convicta therein sentenced shall forever be un der the supervision and control of ficer^ employed by tho State, and In ?a'o any convicts are hired or farmed out. as may be provided by Iuav, their maintenance, support, medical attend ance and discipline shall be under the direction of officers detailed for tliw.;o duties by tho authorities of the peni tentiary." If tho requirements of the ktatuto Jaw yipl tho constitution have beeil t^a^ectoduy the present and pre ceding boards then these convicts are <lircctly under the control of ofileers and guards appointed by .he superin tendent, which oflicers and guarus are r-ubject to your orders, ?and in my opinion, it is your duty to order these to return to'the penitontiary the con victs who are serving sentences for any of the crimes mentioned in section 506 of the criminal statutes. While one convicted and duly sen tenced by law is deprived of bis liber ty to a certain extent, he still has cer tain rightK under the law, and among i tln-i-o rights is the one to be punished | only as prescribed by the law in forco at the time of his conviction and wn j tome, and the hiring out of a pepon sentenced to imprisonment in thfl pen | ]j^*rTTffri -fpr tho crimes of "murder, ' rape, aison and manslaughter" Is a violation of the law and (It may he) in derogation of the rights of tho con victs so hired out..
