China and the United States.

The Japan Gazette has a statement publish.
ed in the Chinese Times. to the effect that the
action of the Chinese Minister to the United
States in the matter of the treaty which was
recently rejected by the Chinese Govern
meut, excited 80 great animosity against
him 10 Kivantuog, that endeayors were
made by an angry mob to wreck the Minis.
ter's house. The Chinese Times also con-
tains a letter eigned by the Pekin official
and writtso jnat after the news had reached
China that the United States had passed the
Chinese exclusion bill. Following is an ex.
tract taken from the letter:
If the obnoxious American bill ahould bs
carried into effect there will be no other
course open for China, consistent with her
dignity as q nation, than to adopt retaliatory
measures by prohibiting the citizens of the
United States from coming to China. This
will be by no means proportionate to the
harm done to the Chinese interest In kmeri.
ca, but it will have to be done In order to
show that the Chinese can do something,
and if this will have no effect In bringing
the United States Government to reason
and fairness, then it will be question for
China to consider whether 1t Ia not time
for her to cancel her treaties made
With that country, to recall her subjects
from there, to expel ell the United States
citizens from this country, and to cease
all relations and intercourse, diplomatic
and commercial, with that country"

Poisoning Cases.

MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 27.-There we're more
developments in the Bohemian poisoning
case last evening. Mrs. Martin the bride,
who was opportunely absent from the poison.
ed feast, took dose of arsenic with suicidal
intent. Physicians were at once snmmon
ed. When they reached Mrs Martin she
was in terrible agony. Antidotes were adj
ministered without result, the woman re-
lapsing into a state of coma. There Ia no
hope of her recovery. A half emptied box
of the poison was found near the house and
another discovered in Mrs. Martia's room
Various theories are advanced az TO the rea-
aon for the crime. One is that the boy Smls
ko was the agent OF Tilted lover CT Mrs.
Martin, aud that he had put the poison in
the -four. This, it is said, explains why
Mrs. Martin did not take supper with the
rest of the party. Nothing definite has been
learned however.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct, 27.-The Bsnhayon

Demmig, and ltft written confession saying

policies which she had made over to him.
The theory Ct the prosecution of Demmig
was that Bowers hired Demmig to poison
RsnhayoD. and that be Bowers wrote
Benhsyon's confession in order to save his
own neck from the gallows. The jury diaa'
greed and Dammig lies in jail awaiting
second trial. DR.. Bowers yesterday told

Benhayon poisoned her son and that Dem
