China, says a recent traveller, is al,
most everywhere land of the dead.
For thousands Of years the inhabitants
have been assiduously employed in
burying each other. In the North
there are few graveyards, and the per.
son who dies is placed in the most
convenient spot which offers itself,and
that may chance TO be in the center Of
a field Of rice or on the road side. II
his relatives be rich they at once raise
a huge mound OF earth over him; Il
they do not happen to have q great
amount Of disposal funds they put the
coffin down in the field or on the road
side, thatch it with a little straw and
leave it till the money for a mound
can be got together; or they erect ovel
It little structure Of loose bricks an
tiles.

that point written by Memphian fol

A Conflict Imminent Between Represents.
.tives Haskell and Townshend
WASHINGTON, Feb. 16-Many rumors have
been in circulation about the Capital to-day
touching the alleged imminence of a hos
tile meeting between Representatives Has
kell, OF Kansas, and T0wnshend of Illinois,
IS result of certain sharp words which
passed between those gentlemen during the
debate on the tariff bill Wednesday.
Although some correspondence passed be-
tween the gentlemen, there is no founda-
ton for the rumor. Gentlemen who have
been consulted in the matter, and to whom
all notes have been submitted, said this
afternoon to a representative of the Asso-
ciated Press, nothing like a challenge or
note indicating there would be challenge
had passed.
The question was asked, "May it then be
said that the notes have tended to concilia-
ton or adjustment
ION the contrary" said the gentleman,
THE matter is farther than ever from being
adjusted
The friends of Townshend, discussing the
matter, intimate they can not permit the
matter TO rest as il stands with the imDuta-
ton of falsehoods against him, and there is
reason to believe a demand will be made
upon Haskell of a more peremptory char
acter ,than any notes which yet passed
Haskell was in his seat as usual to-day and
gave no indication that other than public
business occupied his thoughts His friends
scout the idea of duel or necessity for any
such thing. The correspondence relates to
affairs which they say demand no further
notice on Haskells part.
