Chou Mas, the Inst,s.tor or the Last Cru-
saae Against the Christtss-. Again At
werk-His flseards Inciting To Murder.
BAN Francisco. Aug 11.-News received from
China by steamer to- day is that an entirely Tor
eiRn literature in the shape OF large placards. 10
being scattered broadcast through Human.
Those placards are more offensive In their
attacks on Christianity than those issued last
year by Chou Han. This man. who Is ono OF
the literati. was threatened with punishment.
but nothing was ever done. as the officers sent
to his residence returned with Information
that he had wandered away while Insane. NO
one believed the story. but It served to check
prosecution. Now comes q letter from Han
kow. which says:
"ChouHan Is the author Of the new placards.
which are even more vilely vigorous than his
first essays. and they are printed In large
characters and extensively posted throughout
Chang Teh. which for the past month has been
filled with students from all points
OF tho province for examination. we
have only been able to get hall
q dozen OF tho latest placnrds. but am told
that there are over dozen different kinds. the
contents OF which surpass In fllthiness and
virulence anything previously Issued BY the
anti-foreiRn party. Despite his protestations
to the contrary. the real leader is tho
Viceroy OF those provinces and MS
satellites. some OF whom have enjoyed
tho advantages OF n foreign education.
We had thought we were done with these
filthy things. but 1t seems the poison Is being
instilled into tho minds OF tho people as
viciously as ever. and the men who are en-
gagged in 1t only laugh at the puny efforts OF
the foreign Ministers to stop 1t by empty
threats ut Pekin."
Here is specime on from one OF those placards
posted In Chang -Teh: I'VE. the people OF this
locality. should tear down. demolish. and set
fire to the Catholic premises In Taoyucn
IIsien. and take that traitorous devil OFF,
cial up to this place: that detesta-
bic foreign religious devil. Let US
unite together and forbid the establish
ment Of tho Jesus religion church. and
prohibit the foreign devil from entering our
territory. The church members devote thOn-
selves especially to kidnapping young female
children. who are eold to foreigners. and the
latter PLUCK out their eyes for the PURPOSE q

religion and the Jesus religion. II

are good. let us bind him IN. beat him. and
push him into the deep water. Let us tear

but the missionaries in many outposts are
very nervous. as tho anti-foreign feeling has
become stronger recently. Threats and in
suits they hear constantly. and no one ventures
outside tho large towns as their temerity
would be sure to bring down mob
bent on outrage or murder. Tho native
papers declare that foreigners are making
q great fuss over nothing. but the ignorant
the Government has done nothing to punish
those responsible for melting. the attack on
the Christian missions. and tho Viceroy of
Human. who is actively in sympathy with the
anti-foreign movement. has not even been
censured,
