Corte's Bombast.

NEW ORLEANS, May 1S.-In an in.
terview to-day. Chevalier Corte, Ital,
ian consul, said he had not been re-
called, he had only been summoned to
Rome to give verbal testimony regard
ing the massacre of his countrymen.
"Why should 1 be recalled" he asked.
Because l have expressed my opinion
as an italian upon the barbarity of the
acts complained of" God forbid that,
as gentleman and free agent to free
country, and officially the representa-
tive of one Of the European powers, |
should be taken to task for having the
courage to express an opinion upon mat
tiers vital to the dearest sentiments of
my countrymen.
do your people expectit, as l think,
your mayor or the foreman of the grand
jury does?" Mr.. Corte was allowing
his feelings to overmaster him, but he
checked himself and continued in a
more composed manner: Pardon me,
have spoken too aDimatedly. l have
just now alludeded to the mayor and
grand jury. Let me tell you that
have saved Mayor Shakespeare's life,
and have done the same service to Mr..
Parkerson and Mr.. Wickliffe and other
leaders. | tell you this confidentially.
Do not use the information until
| have left for Italy. But bah,
let it go. You may say IL to-day.
''The day after the killing there was
an almost uncomfortable determination
among certain of my countrymen to kill
the mayor and all those who had hand
in the butchery. But 1 restrained the
hands. l said that if any harm befell
those gentlemen l would Immediately
and unreservedly denounce the perpe-
traitors of the deed. This firm stand
checked them, and l succeeded in hold
ing them with the promise that would
do everything in my power to obtain
justice, redress and satisfaction in a
proper and legitimate Manner

Resigned by Request.

WASHINGTON, May 1S.-Green B.
Raum, jr., son of the commissioner of
pensions, has rendered his resignation
as the assistant chief clerk of the pen
sion bureau. and the same has been ac-
cepted. For some time past rumors af-
fecting the official conduct of Mr..
Raum, jr., have found their way to Sec
rotary Noble, but not until Just before
his departure for st. Louis about one
week ago did he come into the possess
sion of facts that would warrant him in
taking official action in the matter. He
then learned upon what appeared per-
fectly trustworty testimony that Mr..
Raum, jr., had been party TO certain
irregular and unlawful proceedings in
connection with the appointments to
minor positions in the pension bureau.
The temporary appropriation to his
own uses of So belonging to the govern
ment is also charged against him.

The Boyd Case.

WASHINGTON, May 1s.-Justiee
Brewer of the United States supreme
court to-day granted the application of
counsel for Mr.. Boyd, who was elected
governor of Nebraska. for writ or error
to the supreme court to test the ques-
tions involved in the decision of the
majority OF the supreme court of Neb-
raska, who decided that he was not an
American citizen and therefore not ELI
gible to the Office of governor of Neb-
raska. The supreme court meets
again on the 18th inst, and it is the in
tention of Mr.. Boyd's counsel to move
to advance the case on the docket and

citizen by virtue of this action of his
father in taking out naturalization pa
pers and also from the fact that he was
an inhabitant of Nebraska at the time
the state was admitted to the union.

Plotted to Poison Her Husband.

GAINESVILLE, Tex, May 1S.-The
Spring creek community, six miles
southwest Of here. is in great turmoil
just now over social scandal that de-
veloped few days ago. 1t seems that
one of the wealthiest and most promi-
nent farmers Of that neighborhood for
some time past had in his employ a
young man whose winning ways capti-
waited the affections of the farmers
young wife. The hired man was dis
charged and returned to Cleburne, and
the husband feared no further annoy
ance from that source, as everything
went on lovingly and most affectionate-
ly in the household thereafter. A few
days ago the farmer did not return to
his home from the city until very
late at night, and on entering his
wife's room he found her writing
letter, which she tried to destroy when
she discovered the husband had de-
tected her. He seized her and forcibly
took the instrument from her. which
was found to be letter written to the
former hired hand, in which she urged
him to come to her at once and bring
along the poison, that she would ad-
minister it to her husband, put him out
of the way and shortly thereafter marry
him, the man of her choice. The infa-
NOUS plot to murder him being re-
vealed the husband placed his wife in a
Wagon, took her to her parents, who re-
side in the neighborhood, and left her,
informing the old folks that he did not
desire so uncongenial a partner anv
longer. The wronged husband was in
the city this evening, it is said. for the
purpose OF commencing divorce pro-
ceedings. The names are withheld at
present on account OF the prominence
OF the husband and the parents of the
wife, they being among the best citi-
zens in the county.

Remanded without Bail.

LONDON, May ia dispatch from
Chester says that r. c. Duncan o.
Washington, d. c., who is charged
with having attempted to kill his wife
last Monday evening, has been re-
manded without bail to await the re,
suit of his wife's injuries. 1t is thought
that she can not live through the day.
The motive for the crime is still mys-
terry.
Duncan is the son of an Episcopal
clergyman Of Earlville, Md. He went
to Europe over year ago on a pleasure
trip. He was OF quiet disposition.
His relatives have not heard from him
for a number of weeks and were not
aware that he was married.

Japanese Christianity.

New York Sun: A remarkable re
port on Christianity in Japan was sent
to the state department at Washington
by our minister at Toxic, Mr.. Swift
| just before his death last month.
In this report Minister Swift gave an
account of the progress of Christianity
among the Japanese. He told of the
work of the Protestant missionaries,
and of their success in converting the
natives and organizing the converts,
who have churches with membership
at once numerous and influential. The
facts given in the official report are in.
structive, and furnish evidence that the
American Protestant missionaries in
Japan have won success as propagators
of their faith in that most interesting
country, the national religion of which
is Shintoism, and the people OF which
possess minds of extraordinary astute-
ness.
The most remarkable portion OF Min
lister Swift's report, however, is that in
which he tells of the dissatisfaction OF
the Japanese converts with the dogmat-
ic methods OF the foreign missionaries.
1t appears that soon after a Japanese
church has been organized, its native
members begin to criticize the formula
of the creed, and to express desire for
changes in it. This desire was brought
out in marked way short time ago
by the Japanese members of Presby-
terrain synod that was held in Toxic.
While proclaiming their faith in Christ,
these eastern theologians maintained
that His spirit had not been expressed
in the church dogmas, and that Chris
tianity, an Oriental religion,
had never been properly compre-
hended by the western nations of Chris
tendon. The utterances of the native
members of the synod gave evidence
that the Japanese Presbyterians will
not rest satisfied with the confession of
faith or with the Calvinism that west
ern Presbyterians have always upheld.
Minister Swift said in his report that
the Japanese Presbyterians are sure to
demand radical changes in the creed of
their church, but he did not indicate
the nature or direction OF these
changes.
His views on this subject are sus-
tanned by Bishop Wilson of the metho-
dist denomination, who has recently
made visit to Japan. The bishop says
that the Japanese converts will not
stand by the dogmas of western
councils, but that they desire to formu-
late creeds in accordance with their
own views of the teachings of Christ
and of the Scriptures. He believes that
they are well able to do this, and that
they will succeed in adapting Christi
anity to the Japanese mind, which mind,
as we have already said, is very astute.
1t will be interesting to watch the
shaping and the growth of the new re-
ligion in the ancient empire of Japan.

THE year Of missionary work in the
American Sunday School Union which
closed March !, 1891, was crowned with
abundant tokens of the blessings of
God. l,s20 new Sunday schools were
organized in places hitherto entirely
destitute OF religious privileges. con-
tanning 1865 teachers and 50, 2I0 schol-
ars. Aid was given to 2O5S other
schools, with l3,201 teachers and 49,
924 scholars; and besides this. 5.O69
schools that had been previously re-
ported were again aided, with q. 2l9
teachers and 2l0,711 scholars. In addi-
ton TO all this direct Sunday school
work, the missionaries of the society
distributed by sale and gift 7,447 Bibles
and l,2,l4 Testaments. They made
49, 400 visits to families for religious
conversation and prayer, and delivered
A.OO3 addresses. Between 1900 and
1900 persons protested conversion in
connection wit the evangelical services
conducted by these earnest and faithful
men, and at least 100 churches have
been developed from the Sunday schools
established by them while regular
preaching services have been Inaugural
ted in many other places as an out
growth OF this Sunday school work.
