Chinese Punis snmcnt.

In December. 1897. l was in Can

principal law court Two prisoners
in chains were introduced --one an
old man, too intirm To walk, the other
youth, tolerably gorous, but alb
jcct and forlorn in demeanor. The
presiding mandarin appeared, sat
dowl and slipped his tea, VIII lie an

prisoners proceeicd, rs | understood,

lowed was this, The old man was
held up-nOt held down-while two

long, plant ca es above the knees
The youth was divcsted OF his chains,
which were then piled up in front Of
him. Upon these he was compelled
To eel. while his feet hands, and
pigtail were ali attached 10y a cord Ia
post behind him and tightly sc
cured.
The or eS OF the victims and the
complete composure OF the spec
tators were alike sgusting. l

TO Revive the Old Association.

Chicago, Aug 27-The transcontin-
entail lines met today to consider the
advisability of reviving the old trans
continental association. Nothing was
done, except to appoint committee of
representatives from the Southern Pa
cific, Canadian Pacific, Union Pacific.
Great Northern,s Rock Island and Rio
Grande Western to draw up a plan
for the formation of the association and
report it to the general managers to-
morrow The Atchison was represent
ed at the meeting, but it is understood
that it is opposed, at the present time,
to becoming member of the associa-
ton under any terms, though it has
practically said it will not turn over
any organization that the other lines
may see fit to arrange.
Among the names mentioned among
Chicago railroad men as the successor
of President Newell, of the Lake Shore
are President Jeffrey, of the Denver &
Rio Grande and John M. Egan, late
general manager of the Chicago &
Great Western; the man who was at
the head of the General Managers as
ISOLATION during the strike. General
Manager Jeffrey is considered the most
probable selection, as it is known he
stands we'll with the Vanderbilts. 1t is
almost certain, however, that the posi-
tions of president and general manager
which were filled by Mr.. Newell, will
be filled by separate appointments, and
no attempt will be made to combine
them as was done in the case of Mr..
Newell Nothing definite is known as
yet, however, as to the probable ap-
pointments all being rumor. 1t is very
generally believed no man on the Lake
Shore will be appointed to either posi-
ton

IN THE HOUSE.
Some Tariff Talk and an Adjourn.
ment Soon Taken.

Washington, Aug. 27-The galleries
were crowded with visiting knights of
Pythias and their families, when the
House met today, but the floor was a
lot of empty chairs, less than fifty mem
bers being present.
Mr.. Holman, the watch dog of the
treasury" asked unanimous consent for
the consideration of bill to pay ]. o.
Cobb & Co., of Aurora, Ind, $500 for
bargeS taken by the government during
the war. 1t was his first request of
the kind in years, but was refused.
Mr. Richardson OemocraD of Tonnes
see, offered a resolution to print the
tariff bill with comparisons of the rates
between the bill as it becomes law, the
bill as it passed the House, and the
Mckinley bill.
Mr.. Wilson pointed out the difficulty of
receiving specific figures as to ad va
loren duties and said the comparison
would be misleading. Mr.. Wilson thought
the comparison should not be simply a
comparison of the rates of taxation, but
of the basis of taxation. Under the Nc
Kinley law, he said, taking the imports
for 1893, duties averaging AZ per cent.
were levied on S400 600 of dutlable i'm
ports; under the House bill, the duties
would have been So per cent. on So, 0OO0 600
of dutiable imports (the rest being free);
under the Senate bill the rate would be
3S per cent on S433, 600 600 of imported
goods He claimed the Senate bill would
increase the basis of taxation S63, 600, 900
over the Mckinley law, and he wanted
this to appear in the comparison.
Mr.. Mcmillan. (DemocraD of Tonnes
see, called attention to the fact that
$50, 600. 600 of the increase would be due to
the tax on sugar.
The point of no quorum was raised, and
while waiting for quorum to appear
the death of Congressman Shaw, of Wis
consin, was announced.
A committee was appointed to attend
the funeral and the House adjourned.

RECIPROCITY REPEALED.
Whole Fabric of Blaine Treaties
May Fall to the Ground.

Washington, Aug. 27.-Section II of
the tariff law repeats section of the
Mckinley act. under which the reci-
procity treaties were drawn. with the
proviso that nothing herein contained
shall be held to abrogate or in any way
affect such reciprocal commercial ar
rangements as have been heretofore
made and now exist between the Uni
ted States and foreign countries. ex-
cept where such arrangements are in
consistent with the provisions of this
act"
1t is apprehended that the exception
above noted will be much more general
than the rule, for it is expected that
Notwithstanding the declaration of the
prcyiso, the effect of the new tariff law
wiz be to tumble to the ground the
whole fabric Of reciprocity treaties
reared by Mr. Blaine. The new act af-
fects the rates of duties in say one of
the reciprocity treaties and that I'M
favorably TO the foreign nations a par
ty to them, and already suggestions
have reached the state department
from the foreign governments interest
ed to the effect that the new act will
nullify the treaties, for it cannot be
presumed they will permit the United
States to continue the enjoyment of the
excellent privileges in the matter of
free imports and low duties after the
concessions made by the United States
to secure those privileges have been
withdrawn, as they are in a large mea-
sure. by the new tariff act.
The subject is one which will call for
a construction by the treasury depart
ment, but the opinion among diplomats
is that the treaties are practicallv r,.-
pealed by the provisions of the new
tariff bill.
