Authors of the Massacrss I'm China.

BRUSSELS, Dec. Am an interview, DR.. van
Aertsclaire rector Of the Belgian missions in
northern China, who is in this city, states the
Mongolian prince reported to have been killed
by the rebels, was converted to Christianity by
Belgian missionaries The doctor further
stated he did not believe members of the
Temperance league were guilty OF committing
the outrages laid to them. The league, he
said, was composed of devout men who were
very friendly to the missionaries. 1t was far
more probable the massacre was committed by
the Water Lily society. an organization which
the government is making every effort to sup
press. Many members of this society had pro-
fessed Christianity for political purposes, DR..
van Aertsclare concluded by saying he thought
the presence of European force in the vicinity
Of the disturbances would be sufficient to cause
the rebels to dispense.

Reads Like the Bompard Case.

PARIS, Dec. 4.-Henri Rosset youth of
nineteen has confessed to q frightful crime,
not dissimilar to the Eyraud case. Rosset saws
that he was the lover of waitress at a
braiserie who had an elderly and well to do adj
mlrer, tradesman. He supplied her with
money. He proposed to Rosset that she
should lure the old man to some unusual place
and that Rosset should be ON hand to rob and
kill the victim. Whether the Eyraud- Gouffe
murder suggested the means of getting rid OF
the old man is not stated, but the method, with
change of scene only, was very similar. The
victim readily fell into the scheme. On the day
appointed for the tragedy she invited him TO &C
company her to secluded spot at Burdeaux
Saint Clair. After they had walked awhile she
spoke of being Tired and suggested to her
elderly lover that they rest in the shade of a
convenient tree. The old tradesman his at
tention occupied by the Establishments of the
girl, did not notice the youthful stranger who
lurked behind the tree. Suddenly with a
bound Rosset- was on his victim and had a
moose around his neck. The old man was taken
too suddenly to make any resistance In few
moments the victim was dead. They found
1900 francs on his body which Rosset handed
TO the girl. Then they lifted the body up and
threw il from the Rouen bridge into the Scene
