Ways of the Heather Chinese.

Yesterday news reached the officials here
Of a summary execution which took place
some ten days ago at Ngan- tong -hien, one
of the towns belonging to this Flu. A
farmer in that district named PAN mick
named Toh Chao, because he had only a
thumb on his left hand) was said to be the
head of a secret society numbering several
tens of thousands in this province and
Shantung. As he was constantly going to
and fro and was supposed to be plotting
against the Government, two military
officers, acting under instructions f1om their
superiors, resolved to arrest HIM the next
time he returned home. With this pur-
pose in view they surrounded his house
with band of soldiers, but on approach
ing nearer one of the officers was shot
dead, and the man broke from the house
and fled. He was soon overtaken and dis
abled by a blow from the other officers
sword, when he was slowly tortured to
death by the soldiers gashing his body to
pieces with their knives. They then
tore out his heart and hung it up on pole
in front of his house to intimidate his fol-
lowers. Before attempting to escape from
the house the unfortunate victim is said to
have killed his daughter, girl of 16 years
of age, fearing lest she should be assaulted
by the brutal soldiers. The surviving
officer came yesterday to report the case to
the Chun-tai, the Brigadier-G General, who
lives here.-Pekin Gazette.

A ROBBERS CACHE.
Discovery of a Cave Filled with Stolen
and Valuable Goods.

TOLEDO CO.,, August 17th.-While the
first section of freight train No. Al was
standing on sidetrack north of Holland
waiting for the east-bound express, ROBBERS
broke into the cars and carried off con-
siderable quantity of ready made clothing
before being discovered by the conductor.
They were driven off by the train hands at
the muzzle of a revolver.
Officers were at once sent from this CITY
and the thieves tracked through the woods
and over a cornfeld, but all traces of their
presence were lest in forest in the vicinity
of small stream.
Early yesterday morning a woman re-
ported that her boys, while looking for
some cows, had discovered a cave which
was filled with valuables of every descrip-
ton.
The officers hurried to the scene and
found thousands of dollars worth of silks,
velvets, satins laprobes and jewelry of all
kinds and values, and also unearthed an
immense pile of pearl buttons.
The scouting party is securing the coun-
try. The stealing has been going on for
some time without detection.

FOREIGN PAUPEks.
Evidence Taken Yesterday Before the
Immigration Commission.


New YORK, August 17th-Before the
Immigrant Investigating Committee to-day
Superintendent Jackson of Castle Garden
said he did not consider an able bodied
farm hand immigrant, who was penniless,
a pauper. He thought the Castle Garden
officials should be empowered to look after
detentions of Immigrants brought over
under contract, and that proper appropria-
tions should be made. The head-tax
should be increased. AS a practicable
scheme to keep criminals from landing
all foreigners should be required to give
three months notice of their intention
to come to this country.
Jackson said that Immigrants, as rule,
90 not bring as much money to the coun-
try as formerly, but the average annual
amount brought by immigrants is SS,000,-
COO. The Castle Garden authorities do
nothing to enforce the contract-labor law,
and not even ask if the immigrant who
comes is under contract. Neither has the
United States District Attorney done any,
thing TO enforce the law, the latter holding
that the remedy was by civil suit; no ap-
preparation had been made by Congress to
enforce the law, and there was no money
to pay witnesses.
Walter Mcintosh, Secretary of the United
States Watchmakers' Association, testified
W stFe!al cases OF importation from
Switzerland OF men under contract to work
in the watch case factory of the Waltham
Watch Company. Englishmen were also
brought over. This had tendency to
drive American mechanics into other
channels of labor
Captain Bell, pilot for seventeen years,
had knowledge OF the practices of Charles
Lockwood and William Kay securing nat
urailzation papers for natives of Nova
Scotia and then placing them to command
American vessels within two weeks. They
received $40 head for their services, and
Lockwood told witness he was enabled to
make citizens in the time mentioned be-
cause of friendly relations with the son of
Judge Moore, of Brooklyn.
Kay was called and examined at consid-
cradle length. His testimony was full of
contradictory statements. He first denied
the charges made against him. but finally
admitted that he had given false evidence
in several cases for the purpose of securing
naturalization papers, in one case receiving
$3.50 for his services.

"we've Got to Do It or be Defeated..

Congressman Breckenridge, of Arkan-
sas, a member of the Ways and Means
Committee, gives to Washington corre-
spondent his views on the passage of the
Mills bill in so straightforward manner
that they are reproduced here as cor
rective to the dishonest hedging that has
characterized so many of his party. Such
hedging, he said, was to him annoying:
"1 am free trader" said he, and be-
lieve that the freer the trade the better
off is the workingman. No, the bill as
passed is not a free trade bill, but it is a
step in that direction. The only fault |
have to find with it is that the step is not
long enough"
"What kind of campaign will the
Democrats carry on this fall?"
We viii carry on an aggressive one
All our efforts viii be directed to con-
vince the voters that the bill itself is not
free trade. We've got to do that or be de-
feated. If we are defeated il will mean
that the mass of the people prefer high
taxes; if we win it will mean that the
Mills bill as a preliminary step toward
free trade is all right"

MALONE AND WISE.
The Republican Committee Trying to
straighten Out a WranyIe

New York, August 17th.-The Executive
Committee of the National Republican
Committee met to-day to adjust the differ
ences in Virginia caused by the bolt of ex-
Congressman Wise and James S. Brady and
others from the Malone faction some time
ago. After deliberation of nearly two
hours the committee decided that the pro-
posal made by the Republican Committee
Of Virginia, presided over by General Ma
hone, to submit the question as to an elec-
ton in the six contested districts of Vir-
gini6 TO District Conventions to be convened
for nominating Congressman, ought to be
accepted by that wing of the Republican
party presided over by Colonel Huston, but
the committee held that, in the interest of
harmony, the persons calling the meetings
to order should not designate the tempor-
ary Chairman, but that selection should
be left entirely to the meetings and Conven-
ton themselves

SURPLUS DEsTRoYERs.
How the Democratic Administration is
Getting Away With the Coin


WASHINGTON, August 17th.-The Treas
ury surplus is becoming q myth. The
startling discovery has been made that in.
stead of there being in the public vaults
100000, 600 or more, as the country was led
to believe, there is actually but $4,000, 600
lett OF that immense sum. Never before in
the history of the country has there been
such profigate Administration. 1t is
estimated by members of Congress who
have given the matter attention that, tax
ing into account the appropriations which
have been made by the present Congress,
including the public building bills and bills
appropIiating money that will, in all
probability, become laws in very short
time, the expenditures for the present fiscal
year will actually aggregate between $50
0OO,0OO and $6O,0O0,000 more than they did
last year.
The Administration is becoming alarmed
lest the one great issue on which it was to
go before the country, and which it de-
signed to offer as an excuse for introducing
free trade, should be taken away and the
party LEFT to float along waiting for some
thing to turn up. The Democratic party.
10 its national platform, in the speeches de-
liVered in Congress and on the stump, has
been preaching the gospel of economy,
and yet Its administration has exceeded all
expenditures by something like % per
cent. The above facts are beginning
TO leak out in Congressional circles and
are causing quite a sensation on the Demo-
cratic side Of the House.

Excitement In Louisiana Over Attempts

New ORLEANS, August 17th.-Great ex-
element has prevailed in and around Able
vile, in Vermillion parish, during the last
three days, over the attempt of the Regu-
lators to break up miscegenation there.
The movement has been general in the
Stale for some time and recently spread to
Vermillion, where the Regulators, or Cau-
casians," as they are called, warned all
white men living with negro women, and
vice versa, to leave the parish.
On Tuesday the Regulators whipped one
white man, but when they came to the
residence of negro named Compared, who
was living with white woman, the woman
rushed out with shotgun and opened fire
on the crowd, fatally wounding one of
them. This caused great excitement, and
a company of Rangers in the adjoining
parish OF Iberia was called to arms. A dis
turbanee between the whites and blacks is

proposition to Match Carlisle Against
Blaine in Tariff Debate.
fcopVeh, 1885, by tie California Associated Pres,
WASHINGTON, August 17th.-The Star
this evening says a proposition is under
consideration by the Democratic campaign
managers to arrange for a joint discussion
of the tariff question by Carlisle and Blaine
in twelve of the principal cities of the
Union, to be named by Blaine and the
Speaker.
The opinions of a number of prominent
Democratic CongTessmen as to the advisa-
bility of such q course has been asked, and
there is very general concurrence of ap-
proval.
There is not one word of truth in this
statement, so far as can be learned from
Republican leaders in Washington, and
the statement that Blaine has asked a ma
lority of the Senate Finance Committee to
abandon its tariff bill, is equally untrue.
