act is in reality an objection to receive
any person as minister to the United
States who, in his character as senator
or representative in congress, has cast
vote for any minister which is obnox-
ious to the Chinese government.
''It must be conceded by the Chinese
governments that this is not the time to
discuss the propriety of legislation
which has become the supreme law of
the land, and which commands the
obedience of all persons within the
United States. Any person who may
be duly appointed United States minis
ter to China is bound faithfully to OBJ
serve and aid in the execution of the ex.
listing laws. This ground of objection
to Mr.. Blair the president could not
take into account in selecting another
envoy.
"The incident is in fact closed by the
action of Mr.. Blair in placing his COM
nilsson in the presidents hands. That
circumstance, however, does not make
it less incubent upon the government of
the United Statea to frankly and fully
state its views touching the incident
itself. Silence would i'll comport with
our own self respect or be just to the
government of China" 4
The correspondence closes with dis
patch from Mr.. Wharton to Minister
DENLY under date OF March 25, 1899, re-
questing him to lay before the Chinese
government his telegram of October 8,
1891.

loading soprano in his choir, got warm
reception. He had been in town but

his way through the crowd, carrying a
rail on his shoulder. Zuber was ut once
transferred to this and ridden through
the streets of the village, while the
crowd pelted him with mud and stones.
He was finally rescued from the mob.

BLAINE'S ATTITUDE.
The Premier Once Mere Discusses
the Presidency.
ACCEPTANCE WOULD BE SUICIDE.

He Believes That If Inaugurated
His Term. and Life Is Too Full
of Happiness, He Says, to Throw
1t Away.
PITTsBURd, April s.-The Times this
morning prints the following from a
staff correspondent at Washington.
If any answer had been needed to the
anonymous story that Secretary Blaine
was complaining that he had been
fhadgered and bounded by friends of
President Harrison into writing his cele-
brated letter declining to be candidate
tfor president, Mr.. Blaine himself an
severed it yesterday. Nobody here pre-
tended to believe the story, save few
pof those who are SO anxious to get some
strong name to use against the growing
strength of Harrison that they are will
ing to put Mr.. Blaine forward in the at
'titude OF weak creature, without the
courage to Withstand pressure or the
Imanliness to abide the consequences of
his own acts.
In the course Of conversation with a
representative of The Times and one of
the leading physicians of the country,
who has occasionally attended the Sec
retary, the physician remarked:
81 see some of the newspapers con-
tinue to connect your name with the
presidency, Mr.. Secretary"
No Rest for the President.
Promptly rs one answers question
,upon which he has done deliberating
Mr.. Blaine responded:
1.-The presidents office is a most labor
ious and exhausting one. He has no
vice, no alternate, no substitute upon
whose shoulders he can share the re-
sponsibility. There is vice president,
but our scheme of government does not
permit him to assume the powers and
duties of the president except in case of
the death, removal, resignation or dis
ability of the president. 1t does not
contemplate the vice president as an
occasional acting president for day or
two, or week or two, when the man
who has been elected to that office may
need rest and recreation.
He Will Not Commit Suicide.

ANARCHIST REVENGE.
A High Polish Eoolesiastio Shot Down
in Prussia-His Murderer Slain.

BERLIN, April "a remarkable story
comes from Koscieleg, a village near
: Inowrazlaw, a town of Prussia, province
of Posen. DIR. Poninsky, high Polish
ecclesiastic. who was travelling through
Koscieleg, was waylaid by four men
who were apparently waiting for him,
and before he could make a single at
tempt to either defend himself or escape,
all four of them fred at him with re-
volvers. The doctors body was riddled
with bullets, and he died almost in
stantly. A number of villagers near by
heard the firing, and ran to the scene.
They were Mortified when they saw the
bleeding body lying in the road, but
they at once set about to discover the
assassins.
The latter had taken to fight, but the
villagers pursued them and finally
brought them to bay. The assassins
made desperate fight against arrest.
Some of the villagers were armed, and
after they had been repeatedly fired
upon they returned the shots, killing
two of the men. The place in which
the assassins had sought refuge from
their pursuers was in locality from
which escape by retreating was not pos

determined to sell their lives as dearly
as possible.
They refused to heed the demands
made upon them to surrender. and un-
deferred by the fate of their companions,
they continued firing upon their would
be captors. Finally they exhausted all
their cartridges except two, one in each
of their revolvers.
The attacking party. none of whom
had been injured, surmised that the as
sassins' supply of ammunition had run
out, and they made rush to capture
the two men. The latter saw them
coming, and preferring death to cap
ture, they placed their revolvers TO their
heads and blew their brains out. The
bodies were searched, and on each of
them was found red ticket, on which
was printed the words Execution Com
mittee of the Polish Anarchists"
DR.. Poninisky, without doubt, had by
his utterances or actions incurred the
enmity of the anarchists, and the four
men were unquestionably appointed by
the central anarchist body to murder
him. The affair has caused the deepest
indignation wherever the details are
known, and the most strenuous efforts
will be made to search out and punish
the chief conspirators
