WASHINGTON, Aug. Judge Van Trump, of the
Ku-KIux subcommittee authorizes the statement
that the recently published reports OF the results oil

are untrue in many particulars, and the facts In
others are evidently eolored for the purpose OF pro-
ducing q partisan and false impression. The tesl-
mony shows that there are but four countles-Lau-
rens. Chester, York and the
Ku-Klux have committed many outrages. The tes-
timony given by the negroes was of the lowest kind
and unworthy of belief. They were attracted by
the fee OF two dollars per diem and in many cases
were evidently drilled for the occasion.
New YORK, Aug. THE World publishes a
Munich letter of JnIy 22d. containing an account
of an interview with DR.. Doilinger. in which he said

INCIDENT OF THE PARIS REvoLT-I heard. yester-
day. this incident related. and an quite satisfied it
is true. A few days after the overthrow of the
Commune. a member of the National Assembly
had the curiosity to go and see some of the female
captives of Paris confined at Versailles. Shortly

Madame --. You here ~ He recognized in
her a friend. a lady of wealth in Paris. She burst
into tears and told her tale. On Thursday. the 25th
OF May, lighting having ceased in her quarter, she
went ont. and called at the shop of a dyer, to in
quire about some things she had given to be dyed.
On leaving she found herself among several wo-
men, who were flying before a band of soldiers
crying % Stop them, they are petrOLeuses." The wo-
men were surrounded. and she with them. and she,
in spite OF her earnest circumstances. was with
them and many others sent to Versailles. They
were made to go on foot, and what she suffered

PROGRESSIVE Observation-Disclosures of Japan's
enterprise and progressiveness continue to multi
ply. The most casual observer cannot fail to note
the disposition OF the japanese to avail themselves
OF all the advantages accruing from comparatively
intimate relations with civilized nations. Com
mission after commission is dispatched to America
and Europe. with Instructions, in each instance, to
carefully observe the moral, political and indus
trial characteristics of each country visited. and
make a note or the same. The zeal displayed in
mastering our language is of itself a most favorable
sign. and augurs well for future international reIa-
tons between the two nations. That the close
proximity OF Japan to this western boundary of
the United States can be rendered Invaluable from
a commercial standpoint. is clear to any person
who has half an eye to business. But this same
geographical accident will avail nothing if we
simply let it alone. The japanese seem TO fully
understand the situation. The last few years had
educated them to the standard of appreciation.
At present they are sending some of their bright
est young men to the educational institutions of
this country. Each steamer brings its quota.
Men of rank, men of intellect. men of fortune
these compose the delegations which visit our
coast In official capacity, though many youths and
young men, sons OF merchants, come hithei for
instruction. At no time during the pase two years
has the City College numbered less than a dozen
Japanese among its students. and in every instance
the preceptOrs have found them tractable, bright
and studlous. The japanese were favorably i'm
pressed with California and her people. writing to
that effect on their return home. The evidence of
appreciation was not confined to letters. They
invited the Rev. Mr.. Veeder, President of the
College. TO become Professor of a College in ia
pan. He accepted the position rendered. and now.
after several months experience. says he finds his
duties pleasant and profitable. Several instances
have occurred of late. where American gentlemen
have been offered positions as teachers in Japanese
schools. at a good salary. and the propositions are
now under consideration. This certainly shows
an encouraging state of affairs.
Recently. the Chinese Government dispatched
one of its officials to America. with instructions TO
CLEAN knowledge about our customs laws. This
gentleman. Yanagiya kentarO by name. is at pres
ent in the San Francisco Custom House. Through
the courtesy of G.. g. w. Morgan. to whom he
brought letters of introduction. and the assistance
of the Custom House employees. Mir. Keutaro has
made rapid advancement in his work. and i'm a few
weeks will be tolerably conversant with the vari-
Gus departments of the office. The clerks. who
are only too glad to secure a few moments relax
ton from their arduous duties. afford Mr.. Kentaro
all possible facilities. They pay a compliment to
his intelligence and perseverance. In a few weeks
he will visit New York. Boston and other Eastern
cities. for the purpose of continuing his investiga-
tions.-S. +. Bulletin.
