KILLING OF CHINESE CATHOLIC Con-
vERrs.-The Shanghai Mercury says the
Viceroy of the Yan-Nan and Kwechong
provinces has issued decree commanding
the destruction of all Roman Catholic con-
verts. The decree also orders that all Ro-
man Catholic converts and all foreigners be
killed. Reports have reached Shanghai
that several Roman Catholic settlements
have already been destroyed and several
hundred converts killed. The village of
Yin Ya-Ping, two days journey from Tall,
has been destroyed. and four converts and
two priests have been killed. The only
reason assigned by the Chinese Viceroy for
the massacre is that the Roman Catholics
were going to revolt against the Chinese
government.

AS THE power Of the President to appoint

includes the power to remove from office,

Logan and Harrison.

The excitement attending the municipal
election in Chicago, on Tuesday next has
been intensified to fever heat by the attack
made last night upon Mayor Carter Harri-
son by Gen. John A. Logan. A few nights
ago, at large democratic meeting, the may
or openly charged that some little time prior
to the trial Of Mackin and Gallagher for
election frauds certain parties connected
with the prosecution had offered to provide
a loophole for the escape Of the defendants
upon condition that Mackin should secure
the cooperation of sufficient number OF
democratic members Of the Legislature to
enable the republicans to secure majority
on Joint ballot. United States District At.
torney Tuthill and Gen. Logan were men,
toned as being privy to the alleged scheme.
Saturday night Gen. Logan spoke to an i'm
mense concourse of republicans at Battery
ID armory. His address was merciIess ar.
raignmenL of Harrisons administration, and
when he came to the mayors speech he be-
came greatly excited Suddenly he paused
for moment, and then, raising his voice,
he shouted:
II denounce Mayor Harrison as uttering
an infamous, villainous falsehood. He is
vile, Infamous liar, a poltroon and cow
ard u
For a moment the audience sat speech
less Then there was murmur OF surprise,
followed by round after round of applause.
When quiet had been restored, Gen. Logan
again advanced to the front OF the platform,
and said in stentorian tones:
II again pronounce Harrison vile, infa-
nous slanderer, poltroon and coward
l repeat this remark so that the press may
get it correctly, and that may not be mis-.
understood" then took his seat.

She first carried the raw material, of which
her cargo is composed, from South Carolina
to England, where it was manufactured

profitable rates. This is one of the results
of the protective tariff. The customs duty
on the machinery and the chemicals neces-
sary for transforming the phosphate of South
Carolina into fertilizer which the farmers
of this country can use. is so heavy that it

fire had gained considerable Roadway be-
fore it was discovered. 1t e~vidently start
ed in the rear Of the stage and was first
observed by two police officers as it burst
through the roof just over the center of
the stage. They aroused the engineer Of
the theater, who was asleep in the second
story of the building. So rapidly had the
flames spread that they were com
PEELED to put a ladder to his window
and he only escaped in his night clothes.
The fire department was soon on the
scene, but within ten minutes from the
time the fire was discovered, and before
anything could be done to check the
flames, the whole interior of the theater
was ablaze. All the scenery and the
wardrobe of the company playing in the
theater this week-Wallack's Theater
company-the books, ETC., of the ~lessees,
which were in the box Office, have been
destroyed. Only the four walls of the
theater building are now standing, and
the flames have spread to the rear of the
Harris house, adjoining. Guests of this
hotel hastily left for safer quarters.
The origin of the fire is unknown. Last
evenings performance closed before II
O'Clock. At this writing the fire is under
control, and will be confined to the thea
tire building and an old building adjoining
occupied as a cheap restaurant, and sew

S. Corning Judd, leading Democratic
lawyers Of this state, upon the effect
which the death of Representative Logan
will have upon the senatorial deadlock at

does not change the status of affairs; that
the law requires a majority of all mem
bers Of both houses elected to be pres
ent and voting in order to constitute a
quorum. The full roster. Of the joint as
sembly is 204, and the presence of l0S is
necessary to make it a legal body for the
choice of a senator. With this number
present and voting, a majority Of the
votes cast, it is claimed, will elect. There
are l02 Democratic members of the joint
assembly, and since the death Of Repre-
sentative Logan, 10l Republican mem
bers, so that either party, to secure a con
stitutional quorum, must have the assist
ance of one or more members Of the op'
posite party. Three weeks or more viii
elapse before Representative Logan
place can be filed by a special election.
