SAN FRANclsco, CAL, April e.-The
steamship Oceanic arrived this afternoon
with Yokohama news OF March 81. The
Shanghai Mercury says that the yiceroy of
the Yunan and Kweehong provinces had
issued a decree commanding the testrue-
ton Of ell Roman Cacholic Con.
verts. The decree also ordered
that all Roman Catholic converts and all
foreigners be killed. Reports reached
Shanghai that several Roman Catholic
settlements had already been destroyed
and several hundred converts had already
been killed. The village of Kidnapping,
two days, journey from Tall, ha
been destroyed and four converts
and two priests killed. The only
reason assigned by the Chinese Vice
roy for the massacre was that the Roman
Catholics were going to revolt against the
Chinese Government.
A fire at Toxic, March 10, destroyed
1000 buildings and over one thousand
families were rendered homeless.

like in this city, are situated within a
stones throw Of the City Hall. A city
whose moral sentiment stopped the pro-

West, but corn can still be grown in New
 England. committee of the Washington
 county Rhode Island) agricultural society
 has lately reported it's awards of premiums
 for field crops raised the last season. The
 first premium was awarded to Frank w.
 Robinson of South Kingston for one acre
 yielding 109 bushels of shelled corn. The land
 is a sandy loam; it was manured heavily, of
 course, and well cared for during the grow
 ing season. The value of the crop, including
 corn and fodder, was estimated at $129, the
 total cost of cultivation, including ten dol
 lars for interest on the valce of the land 1895,
 leaving profit of $34. Another farmer,
 Edward K James of Richmond, to whom the
 second premium was awarded, raised 9215
 bushels on an acre, at cost of $66.21, and
 his crop was valued at $11650, giving net
 profit of $50.29. He allowed only sixty
 cents, however, for interest on the value of also underestimated the value of the barn. yard manure used. But, making due allow ance for this, he made profitable crop.
 The Russian government has decided to create a port at Mikhailofsky, upon the Cas- plan, and, by means of railroad which will connect this port with Krasnovodsky, to open up direct communication between the Cauca- sian ports on the Caspian and Astrachan Owing to the shallowness of the water the Gulf of Mikhailoffsky was not accessible to vessels of heavy tonnage, the consequence being that goods to be carried by the Trans caspian railroad had to be reshipped on to punts, thus increasing the car riage to a very considerable extent. These drawbacks were brought into special prolni- hence at the opening of the werks upon the railroad, as the workmen as well as the materials had all to be sent round by way of Baku and Astrachan. The enter prise has been facilitated by the discovery in the northern part of the gulf of a new bed, which can easily be made fourteen feet deep, and this will suffice to admit the largest yes sells navigating in the Caspian Sea. All the work required to be done will be the extract ing of fl, 900 cubic feet of sand, the cost of which will not exceed 50, 900 rubles. The total expense of constructing the port is esti- | mated at 120, 900 rubles, and this sum is in- ,luded in the estimate of the Central Asian the construction of which will be much simplifed by the connection of the ! Stuff of Mikhailofsky with Astrachan and Baku. 1

THE RULES OF THE HoUSE

| The national house of representatives will l probably soon amend it's rules and there is | need enough that it should, for under the present rules the business of the house does l not fare as well as it ought to.
 During the forty-eighth congress there ! were introduced into the house 8637 bills ! within 40 of the whole number introduced in the first fifty years after the organization of the government. Of this number 6,329 were of private character, about eighty per cent. of them had been introduced in former
 congresses, and fully forty per cent. of them
 had been at various times favorably reported. At the close of the last congress there were
 on the union calendar 197 bills, on the house
 calendar 156, on the private calendar 3s5
 and on the speakers table 251 senate bills,
 besides numerous special orders and matters
 of unfinished business, among them being
 several important bills which had died on
 the calendars and speakers table with the
 expiration of the forty-sixth and forty-sev-
 enth congresses.
 For this condition of things an amendment
 to the rules of the house made in January,
 1876, is largely responsible. Until the first
 Soo9ioA oI ILo IoIty -AOoTtH CeuSFeSS Uue FuleS
 of the house strictly prohibited legislation on general appropriation bills, but on the 17th of January, 1876, the following amendment, submitted by MT. Holman, of Indiana, was adopted by strict party vote: 'tNor shall any pro- vision in any such bill or amendment there to, changing existing law, be in order, except such as, being germane to the subject matter of the bill, shall retrench expenditures D This nnocsnt-looking amendment did just what the Republican members said it would do. It practically abolished all committees but that on appropriations, gave almost all legislation into the hands of That committee, has made fs5pH f5JHaS sRaannsd5tEw and Ewfesed aa fiesgsaton % a
 In 1879 General Garfield wrote concerning this amendment as follows: s'The construc- tion recently given to this amended rule has resulted in putting mass of general legisla tion upon the appropriation bills, and has so overloaded the committee as to render it quite impossible for it's members to devote sufficient attention to the details of the ap- proper. If this rule be contin- ued in force it will be likely to break down the committee on appropriations and disperse the annual bills to the several committees" ," It now looks as if this prediction might be | fulfilled

Youthful Preacher.


 While in Adairsville recently I saw some- thing that struck me as very unusual and strange. Quite party of gentlemen were sitting around the store when little boy about 5 years old entered.
 He was a quiet-looking little fellow, and there was peculiar expression on his face, Cant you preach for us, Claude4" asked one of the party. It seemed that he was used to that, and without any hesitancy he placed chair for pulpit, took two little books that were handed hin, and pulled off his hat for business. Before saying a word he knelt by his chair in secret prayer for g moment. He then arose, and after looking carefully through one of the little books he announced the number of his hymn, gave it out in language that was lisping and hard to understand, and then sang it through all alone He then knelt again by his chair and prayed-this time aloud-but in words that no one could understand. He took a text from one of his books, and for eight or

TRACKING APACHES.
chase of Blood Hounds for the Purpose
OF a Chase.
DEMING, N. NJ, Dec. "a.

DEMIsG, N. NJ, Dec. "a.
The leading citizens of Silver City held a
meeting Wednesday, to devise means for
prosecuting war of determination against
the murderous Apaches. 1t was at first thought
the government would purchase 40 or so
blood hounds to track the Indians, both
Generals Crook and Bradley favoring the
proposition as the only available means for
pursuing the red butchers. Word was re-
ceived from Santa Fe that armv officers were
willing to recommend the employment of
blood hounds but it is thought it would be
several months before the war department
would act upon their Recommendation.
Upon learning this the citizens called
meeting and determined to raise money by
subscription for the purchase of pack of
blood hounds, and again equipping and put
ting local militia in the field.
Wealthy ranchmen in attendance pleged
over $4,000 for the purchase of blood hounds.
1t was determined to raise picked company
of three hundred experienced Indian fighters
from the several districts in the territor, who
will take the field and campaign the remain
der of the winter.
