Mr.. whitney on the Situation.

The New York World today prints an in
terview from Beverly Farms, Mass, with
ex-Secretary Of the Navy William c. Whit.
ney on the financial question. He says
among other things:
Il agree with Mr.. Cleveland that simply
repeal Of the Sherman law, without amend.
ment or substitute, is the only thing to be
considered now. But do not wish to be
regarded as considering the repeal of the
sherman law permanent cure for our ma
tional Ills. The currency question is not
the most vital one. The country's pros
perity will never be permanently estab-
iished while an annual tax of $500 600 0oO

tress. The only permanent remedy is in
the readjustment and eQualiza ton of this

MURDER OF MISSIONARIES.
Particulars OF the Killing Of Two Swedish
Ministers I'm China.

Ministers I'm China.
Advices received at Vancouver. B. C. by
the steamer Empress of India give full par
ticuiars of the barbarous massacre of the
Swedish missionaries Rev. Mr.. Wickholm
and Rev. Mr.. Johansen, at Sungpu.
A couple of weeks ago the Chinese serv-
ants heard that their masters We're to be
murdered on the 18th of July. They told
the two foreigners to lose no time Iva get
ting out Of the town. But apparently the
poor fellows did not think the danger so
very pressing. On the day named the
house where they lived was surrounded by
a bowling mob. chiefly composed of the
loafers Of the town. The latter went about
from man to man melting them to kill the
foreign dogs" The missionaries came to
the door, but were greeted with a shower
of stones, and beat a hasty retreat inside
the house and patiently awaited eSeu,s.
The unhappy men then made a desperate
but futile attempt to escape. laundering
back of the house they reached the roof.
but as soon as they made their appearance
on the top of the house they became a
mark for perfect hail of stones, some OF
which struck them, cutting them badly
Finding they could not remain they ran
along the roof and over the roofs of a store
and of the adjoining houses. The moi
pursued them down the street, yelling
cursing and pelting them, till az last the
missionaries could proceed no further.

The Hupao says that terrible accounts OF
distress prevailing in Shansi, on account OF
famine in that province, have been brought
to Ningpo by a man who arrived there on

The man in question had with him two
