How the Chinese Tortured Two spies

How the Chinese Tortured Two Spies.
{ Julian Ralph's description of the tor
lures inflicted by the Chinese authorities
on the two alleged japanese sdies who
were taken from the American cOnsul-gen-
erals Office there is something horrifying.
They took the young men to Marking,
where they tortured them for two-some
say for three-days. They made them
kneel on iron chains, with a bar of wood
across their legs, and men standing on the
bars. They pulled out their finger nails.
They put chains on their wrists, and poured
boiling water on the chains until the metal
ate its way to the prisoners bones. They
crushed the tongues of the two men. They
mashed into jelly the tenderest, the most
sensitive members of their bodies. When
death was about to have its own way with
their mutilated frames, it was hurried by
the eXecutioner's sword. Mr.. Ralph ar
raigns the United States government of
gross negligence, seemingly almost Grim
inal, in leaving American interests in China
unprotected. He says that the only Amer
lean war ship seen in Chinese waters up to
Oct. Is was the old Mississippi river gun
boat MOnocacy, while at japanese ports
where no war operations are being carried
out, 'but where as at Newport and Bar
Harbor, the ladies are exceedingly attract
i've" are more than one American war
ship.
Officials of our state department at Wash
ington contradict Mr.. Ralph's statement,
and one of them is quoted as saying, "Ac-
cording to all international customs the
fleets of all nations combine to protect
citizens of all nations. If it is so that the
French fleet, as Mr.. Ralph says, is alone at
Shanghai it is because they have no YES
sells elswhere and vessels of other nations
are looking out for the interests of the
French citizens" In this way all the for
eign citizens are safe at all treaty ports.
To have a vessel at every one would be i'm
possible for every nation, and hence this
International arrangement. Mr.. Ralph is
in China as the special correspondent of
Harper's Weekly.

Dr. Parkhurst of New York city is
changing his mind in regard to woman S
suffrage. When he first started on his
righteous campaign against Tammany he
explicitly stated that he did not want the
help of women, remanding them to "their
proper sphere, the home, without whose
sacred precincts they could do no good. "
But after years experience the good doc
tor finds he cannot fight the hydra-headed
Tammany evil single-handed and is actu-
ally calling out the women, who attended
the mass meetings held prior to the cleo
ton in great numbers. DR.. Parkhurst has
possibly reached the same conclusion as
has the novelist Howells, who has we'll
said: "There is not so much difference be-
tween home housekeeping and municipal
house-cleaning as some people think"

Running n SISunkery for Revenge.
Complaint has been made to the board
of health of a skunkery which has been
started between Bennington and North
Bennington, by Marshall Legacy in re-
venge for being obliged to move pig pen
from the side of the main road. In pen
are confined % skunks, which Legacy is
keeping to kill for their hides and oil. 1t
is alleged that he frequently stirs up the
animals with a pole through one of the
holes in the fence, and the scent is almost
unbearable to the people of the village.
Lawyers say that nothing can be done, as
the nuisance is the requisite distance from
an occupied house, and the board of health
has no control over the matter.

The Ru.Ine.. nerore Congres.

The last session of the 53d Congress re-
assembled Monday, when President Cleve-
lands message was read in both Houses.
The Senate calendar contains 145 bills and
resolutions that have been reported by
committees. Most important among these,
from political point of view, are the four
so-called "pop-gun' tariff bills sent over
from the House at the close of the last
session, as reported favOrably to the Sen
ate August 20. Senators Jones and Har-
ris have said that they intended to call
these bills up, and especially the sugar bill,
at the earliest possible moment but it is
not likely that they will urge them during
the first week. In view of the recent COM
plications at Blueiields Senator Morgan
will take the earliest opportunity to bring
to the attention of the Senate his bill re-
lating TO the construction of the Ncarag
uan canal, which was reported on April II.
The measure will likely cause considerable
discussion. The House bill to establish a
uniform system of bankruptcy, which was
favorably reported in July last, and the
anti-option bill may come up early in the
session. Senator Faulkner will push the
bills to admit the territories of Arizona
and New Mexico to statehood.
In the House the Nicaraguan canal bill
and the bill to permit companies to pool
passenger and freight business under regu-
lation by the interstate commerce COM
mittee are likely to come up. Aside from
the regular appropriation bills, there is not
now much business in sight that is likely
to receive final or decisive action. A new
financial policy, the recent bond issue and
the investigation of Judge Kicks, of the
United States supreme court, will doubt
less be discussed. No program of bust
ness has been arranged by the committee
on rules.
