opposed to those of Confucius be forbidden; that
missionaries shall be considered Chinese sub
jects; aud that women will be permitted
access to the empire in that capacity. The am

ST. LOUIS, April 26.-The National Executive
Committee, appointed by the second National

removal of the national capital to some proper
place in the valley of the Mississippi announce
that it has been determined not to call another
convention of the friends of the capital
removal until next year. The reason for this
decision is that it is deemed best to postpone
further public effort for the removal until the
apportionment of representation under
the recent census to be made by
the present Congress shall have given to
the central and western portions of the Union
that just weight in national legislation to
which their population entities them.
The committee further announce that they
will continue to use all worthy means to hasten
the removal of the national capital, and express
the belief that success will finally follow their
efforts.
