News OF the Crueities yPracticed on
wretches Accused OF Aiding and
Abetting Mason.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 9-The Shanghai
newspaper which arrived by the China
steamer yesterday contains full accounts
Of the torture of the Chinese accused Of
being the accomplices of Mason in his
foolish scheme OF rebellion against the
government. The poor wretches who were
suspected have declared that they were
simply hired by Mason, knew nothing Of
his plot and had no connection with the
Kalao Henei, the great secret society
whose aim is to overthrow the present
dynasty.
One prisoner had his legs paralyzed
from torture. He had been hung up by
the thumbs. fogged and had paper
burned under his nose, but had refused to
confess because he was innocent. His
head was fastened to his knees by means
OF a chain, n bamboo was suspended from
his iron collar, the stick being stretched
across under his knees: his hands were
chained behind him.. The jailers then
placed him with his knees kneeling upon
chains. After q long time they put
bamboo across, the calves of his legs
upon which two attendants sat until the
victim tainted
The legs of another man were broken.
Six attendants jumped on the bamboo uns
til the bones were crushed. Two other
men who had just been removed from the
torture chamber could not be seen.

FOR CONGRESS TO DO.
Important Measures That Will Be
Considered This Week.
THE INDIAN CLAIMS DISCUSSED.
Free Ships and the Bi-Monetary Confer
ence-The Chinese Government Enter
Protest Against the Exclusion Act
Coolidge's Confirmation.

WARRINGTON, May 9.-The Choctaw
and Chickasaw claim In to be discussed in
the Senate today until 4 o'clock, when q
vote will be taken on the resolution au-
thorizing payment to the Indians Of
about s3,000,0Oo. The naval appropriation
bill will be called up in the Senate Tues
day.
BY instruction of the Commerce Com
mittee, Mr.. Frye will report at the earli-
est opportunity the House bill which
provides for the admission to American
registry OF the Inman line steamers City
of Paris and City OF New York. He will,
doubtless, make an effort to secure i'm
mediate action upon the bill and thereby
excite discussion which promises to be
long and heated, as it is expected to
bring up the topics Of free ships" and
protection to American shipbuilders.
The bill to provide for the punishment
OF violation OF the treaty righ > of aliens
will be pressed upon the attention of the
Senate by the committee on foreign rela-
tions at the first opportunity and is also
likely to give rise to much debate.
Lying on the presiding officers desk, Is
the Presidents communication relative
TO q bi-monetary conference, on which
Mr.. Morgan has given notice OF his inten-
tion to speak, and probably other sena-
tors will set forth their views upon it.
Unusually rapid progress was made
with the river and harbor bill in the
House during the past week, and as a re-
suit the sundry civil bill will probably be
taken up today after part of the day is
consumed in District OF Columbia busi-
ness
The civil sundry bill is a long measure
containing many items of local interest
to congressman. Moreover, the bill is
not satisfactory to the Republican men,
bers of the appropriation committee, who
object to number of items of appropria-
tion as insufficient. Thus the considera-
tion of the bill will require several days.
Chairman Hatch of the committee on
agriculture, will try to secure consider
alton for the anti-options bill when the
sundry civil bill Is out of the way.

NARRAGANsETr ELECTRIC LIGHT.
Hearing on the Proposed Act This
Afternoon.

The committee on judiciary of the
House Of Representatives gave a hearing
ut 2:30 to-day ON the act concerning the
Narragansett Electric Lighting Company.
The act Is drawn to allow the company to
execute and deliver first mortgage. shall
have an exclusive franchise of twenty
years in Providence, and shall pay tax
of 2 per cent. on their gross earnings to
the city of Providence for its franchise.
Walter 4. ANGEL appeared as counsel
for the Narragansett Electric Lighting
Company and explained the act. saying
that the company do not feel that they
ought to pay as large a percentage of its
earnings for its franchise as the Union
Railroad Company for they do not OBJ
struct the street so much as that company
but the 90 year franchise is necessary to
sell the mortgage bonds.
Acting City Solicitor Cyrus Van Slyck
appeared in the interests of the city and
asked for delay so as to enable the city
council to act in the matter Of appointing
a committee to look after the interests
of the city and TO have an OPP
portunity TO examine the act.
lie hoped the committee and the General
Assembly would give the city and the
company an opportunity TO come To
settlement "a amicable as did the city and
the Union Railroad Company
He spoke of the Uuion Railroad act as
not being entirely satisfactory and said
that Il with the opportunity aud labor in
cident TO that act, the act was not per-
fectly drawn, there is still more reason To
fear that this act may not be satisfactory.
In regard to the issuing Of bonds he
said that the Narragansett Electric
Lighting Co. knew best whether they
wanted to do so or not.
In regard TO section second, he said,
that the act reads as IL no poles or wires
could be erected by telephone. telegraph
or street railroad companies and that
proviso had been handed to him TO cor
rect this.
Mr. Angel said that while the language
is "a little blind. the object is clear, as the
Lighting Company does not wish to in
terfere with the business OF the other cor
porations.
Col Van Slyck said thtt the act should
be so drawn that no ambiguity would
appear. He spoke at some length on the
provision for the adoption OF a better sys-
tenn, il one should be invented.
lie took up the bill, one section after
another and stated the principal objec-
tions.

A Strike to be Discussed at a Meeting
Wednesday Evening.
FALL RIVER, May 9--Under the head
ing, Labor can only stand on equal
terms with capital when associated"
notice has been issued to the members Of
the Spinners' Union calling meeting for
Wednesday evening.
It says, "a very important question
will be submitted for discussion and it is
desirable all members should be present.
1t is becoming common practice at
very few mills in this city TO discharge
good, steady. competent spinners. against
whom no fault can be found, the only ex-
cuse given by officials being that they
want spinners with back boys.
AS an instance in point last week two
spinners were discharged from the Te-
cumseh Mill, No 1, who had worked
there ten years or more. There was no no
tice given to them, no fault found with
them. The only excuse was that two
spinners with back boy each, were to
have their positions.
We have got to the point now where
something must be done to protect our
members, and we trust every member will
be present to say Ii we are to assert our
rights by striking against the overseers
who discharged men for no other cause
that that we have stated"
