ANOTHER soOIAL SCANDAL.

w ASHINGTON, March 17-AnOther
scandal is added to the already length
euing list by the announcement that
Minister Christiaucy has instructed a
Washington attorney to institute pro-
ceedings for divorce against his wife.
The drift of opinion in nigh social
cir cles here is that there never was a
more foolish match than this between
the grave old Senator and a Treasury
girl not one-third his age. Mr.. Chris
tiancy's friends say they have always
believed that he was entrapped into
marrying by designing mother who
kept the boarding house in which he
had rooms. .....
Further states that the ill-mated pair
have lived unhappily from the first, and
Mr.. Christiancy's resignation as senator
to 60 To Peru was due more to his de-
Sire to seperate his children and their
stepmother than to any other cause.
Mrs. ChrIstiancy went down to Peru
and stayed for few weeks, but has
been in Washington for some months
and her conduct it is alleged had al
ready given occasion for gossip. Mr..
Christiancy recently applied to the
State Department for leave Of absence,
and is expected TO return here in a few
weeks to prosecute the case.

Lee Cling, two Cinnamon, who assault
ed Wong Chin Foo with hatchets and
and razors a few days ago, were ar
rested tonight. Wong Chin Foo was
revolutionist in his native land and
obliged to flee. For time he found
shelter in San Francisco, but was fol-
lowed by emissaries of the Chinese
Government, who were anxious to get
his head on account of large reward.
Wong Chin Foo then came and lived
here quietly till the other day, when a
number of his countrymen made a
deadly assault upon him and attempt
ed to cut off his head with an axe. 1t
is alleged the Chinamen were actuated
by the hope of reward, and that it
was this which led to the attempted
assassination. The prisoners were re-
manded.
