CHINESE ARE HUMAN.
Protest Against American Treat

Protest Against American Treat
ment of Them.
New YORK, May 21.-The Chinese
question was discussed by Rev. Madison
g. Peters this morning at the Blooming
dale Reformed church. DR.. Peters said:
Sin the name of God, who of one blood
made all nations Of men to dwell on the
face of the earth? / protest against our
unmanly, un-American and unchrStian
treatment of the Chinese. They are
human beings, having the same parts,
affections, passions and the same ma
terial rights as other men have. When
we needed cheap labor to develop our
country we begged the Chinese to come.
In 1874 our government began to coax
them to come. The Chinese came
against all their preiudices, and our
treatment of them has been one long
scene of prejudice, brickbats, taxation
and robbery.
The Chinese are no worse than the
same number of the same class of any
other nationality in our midst. be-
speak for the Chinese American fair
play. Having simply failed to register,
because they were mlsrepresented by
counsel as to the cOnstitutionality OF the
law, there is no reason why the discre-
tiOnary power of the authorities should
not be used to extend temporarily the
period of registration. If we have
Christian civilization, let us present it
to the Chinese in Christian way. We
send missionaries and money to China,
and profess deep interest in them,
thousands of miles away, and there they
are an interesting object to us; but at
our doors we avoid them, aud the very
ministers who make the most elO-
Quent pleas for the Chinese in
China will, without protest, allow the
Chinese in America to become the vic
tins of political cruelty. If the China
man had vote, our demagOgues in con-
gress would profess great love for the
Chinaman, and they would go around
on election day with an opium pipe
sticking from their pockets"
The Rev. Edward p. Ravson, of the
Canal Street Presbyterian church, today
said regarding the Chinese exclusion
act: "The Chinese make good citizens,
and have shown themselves in the main
to be honest and industrious. They
did not come to America in order to try
to run the country or the cities in which
they settled. The Chinese in Frisco
alone pay enormous sums in taxes and
license fees to the government, sums it
seems entirely out of proportion to their
number. They should be treated ac-
cOrdlng to the methods of Christianity"

STRETCHING THE TRUTH.
Somebody Doing This in a Rail-

SEATTLE, Wash, May 81. - The
answer OF the Northern Pacific Rail-

d Eastern Railway company, and of the
trustees of the latter company to the
complaint of Thomas Earle and Angus
Macintosh, asking for an injunction
against the execution of the traffic con-
tract between the two railroad compan-
les, and for the appointment of a re-
, ceiver OF the Lake Shore road, has just
been filed in the United States circuit
court here. 1t denies all the material
allegations of the complaint. The claim
| that the Lake Shore has made large
earnings-sufficient to have made a
profit after paying all charges-is de-
MED. 1t is alleged that the road has
never earneda dividend, and that it
could not have been operated so as to
have done so. The hearing was post
poned until May 81.

Presbyterian Assembly. !
WASHINGTON, ID. c., May 2l.-Com-
missioners to the general Presbyterian
assembly, according to the usual practice
in connection with the annual meeting
of that body, occupied most Of the local
pulpits today. The weather in the
morning was almost perfect a trilie too
warm, perhaps, for this time Of the
year, and the attendance upon the Vari-
Gus places of worship was generally
greater than the capacities OF the houses
could accommodate. Especially was
this the case at those churches where
the popular and best known OF the WIS.,
iting divines conducted the services. !
Rev. Willis G. Craig, ID. d.. the mod.
orator, preached at New York Avenue
Presbyterian church, where the sessions /
of the assembly are heard, and scores
were turned away from its doors.
Besides the usual preaching services,
there was mass meeting in the int er-
est of the Young Peoples Societies Of
Christian EndeavOr at the First PreSby-
terian church, and Rev. j. G. Patton, the
veteran missionary for the New Hebri-
des, recOunted to an Immense audience,

The coming week is expected to pro-
duce the sensation Of the assembly, the
debate on the Briggs case. In just what
shape it will come up cannot be det- !
nitely stated. The record OF the appeal

MANELooA, Mex, May 21.-Francis
Banada, prominent rancher, who lives
north of here, near San Juan SaDinaS,
has arrived at Manefooa and brings the
first news of the terrible fate Of party
of five mining prospectors, who left
here four weeks ago for the Sierra San
Vicente mountains in the northwestern
part of this state, near the Texas bound
ary. There have been many reports
circulated in this part of Mexico for sew
eral months past of the famous mineral
wealth to be found in those mountains.
and party Of young men, consisting Of
C. II. Lorian, B. w. Knapp, both Amer
leans; Cecilio Martinez. Eustaclo Lo-
CODA, and Jesus Guerrero, organized
themselves into a band to try their
luck in the reputed EldOrado. The
course of their journey lay through
a desert for $50 miles, and, on the third
day after leaving Santa Rosa their
water supply gave out and their team of

six days the men lived on the juice Of
the maguey plant. On the seventh day
two of the MexicanS were driven crazy
by the heat and thirst, broke away from
their companions, and soon became lost
i'll the desert. Other members of the
party gradually lost their strength and
were left behind to die. The only man
that came out of the terrible ordeal
alive was Mr.. Knapp. who on the tenth
day reached the San Jose de Piedras
ranch, where he received water and
kind treatment. Upon regaining his
strength he was escorted to San Juan
Sabinas by different route than the
one which had proved fatal to his COM

DEATH OF CREIGHTON.
1t Is Being Properly Looked Into
in Mexico.

in Mexico.
WASHINGTON, May 21.-A Chicago
paper recently printe letter from
Mexico, stating that on Sept. 20, 1892,
Charles Creighton, citizen of the
United States, engaged as the con-
tractor of a section of the Matamoras
railway in the state of Pueblo, had been
assaulted, disarmed, arrested and
locked up in the jail of Tlaucualpican
by a band of Workingmen, and that
next day Creighton was found dead in
the Jail and that it was believed the
taller had murdered him. The
Mexican legation at Washington is
in receipt of an official report
from the department of foreign
affairs of the United Mexican
States, from which it appears that
Creighton was arrested and put in jail
because he was drunk and caused
disturbance in the Tlacomulco camp by
attacking with revolver the working
men of the railway, who disarmed and
locked him up; that on the 2lst OF De-
cember Creighton was found dead, and
that from the autopsy made by an eX-
pert it appeared that his death resulted
from congestion of the brain; that the
friends Of Creighton, not being satisfied,
and insisting on new inquiry, the dis
interment of the corpse has been Or
dered, and a new autopsy will follow,
SO that, if it is not proved that death re-
suited from natural causes, those who
may be responsible for the same shall
be duly tried and punished.

CHICAGO, May 21.-Ph9be Couzins has
written long letter to the Chicago
Times, in which she energetically at
tacks Mrs. Potter Palmer and Worlds
Fair Commissioners Massey, st. Clair
and Lannon. She begins by saying that
she is keeping quite at present, for
the reason that she must have breath
like other mortals. She then continues: {:

must be kept off at all hazards. Mrs.
Hooker, unluckily for her appearance
at this congress, wrote letter Oct. Is,
1891, to Mrs. President Palmer, in
which, as chairman of the finance COM
mittee, she very succinctly set forth
the falsity of afldavits which
had been submitted at the Sep
tember meeting of the board Of
lady managers by Mrs. Palmer and
others as to the formation of that COM
mittee. and bravely sustained the Secre-
tary. 1t was fondly hoped by the re-
ceiver of that letter that this method
of squelching Mrs. Hooker would be a
sufficient reproof to one who dared to
affirm in writing that the president of
the lady managers and her subsidized
allies had been false to truth. Hence
the order of ostracism. Miss Couzins
winds up her long letter with an elab-
crate attempt to prove that the board of
reference aud control is all illegal body.

power which none could fail to recog-
nIze. In the streets of Toulouse M.
