Religious Prosecutions Ia China.

The Rev. Francis Bauquis. missioner
at Western SUI huen, China, writes
from Paolin the following touching let
ter:
Il have had To- leave my mountains
and 20 10 days journey on my mule
To the capital ~ the northern part of
the province. in order Ia See the man
darins and seek justice for the murder Of
a Christian. The demon, ever the same,
raises up the same obstacles i'll our day
rs in the first centuries of the church in
Europe This year, at recently estab-
lished station, some pagans plotted to-
gether to put the best instructed among
the Christians 10 death. Several hun
dreds having collected. carrying an idol,
they made the circuit of the village,
stopping at every house and saying that
the idol. the old grandfather. as they
called il, WAS hungry.
"Our Christian had been warned of
the plot TO kill him A few days before
he had gone Ia some neophytes To bid
them goodby. saying; This time | snail
die. Pray for my soul. We shall never
meet again"
His pagan relatives came to his
house on the day fixed upon. and on his
refusal to join III their superstitions they
began To beat him with sticks. One of
his assailants. "a schoolni:ister. came Ia
the front. crying: This dog will die
hard You are not able for him. Let me ut
him.
He took off his clothing. to be more
at his ease, turned over the body, already
covered with bruises. and struck ut it
with redoubled force. So that the blood
spurted out a. far rs the yard. the wretch
crying the while: Do you see what a
fine pig We have killed? What fine thick

WHAT OF THE BLAND BILL?
Yesterday 1t Was Said the President
Would Sign the Measure.

Washington, March 29.-The fate of
Bland's seigniorage bill was the leading
subject of gossip about the floor of the
House before the meeting of that body
today. The friends of the measure said
Secretaries Gresham and Smith had
overcome the objections of the President
to the bill, and he had decided to sign.
This story gained ground rapidly. The
"anti-silver" members gave no credence
to the story: and adhered firmly to the
opinion that veto would reach the
House today or tomorrow. No member
could be found who had seen the Presi
dent and could state definitely what
course he would take in the matter
There remains tomorrow and Friday
as the period during which the President
may veto or sign the bill before it would
become law without presidential ac-
ton, for the bill was not delivered at the
White House till after the ordinary de-
partmental office hours of March 10 had
ended, according to Secretary Prudens S
records. The official receipt of the bill
by the President thus takes the date of
March 20, and the law allowing him ten
days for the consideration of bill (Sun-
day not to be counted) gives him Friday
as the last day for action.
Within the past few days, since it be-
came understood the President intended
to veto the Bland seigniorage bill, there
have been number of conferences of
Democratic senators, at which the situa-
ton has been discussed. If the charac-
ter of the remarks made by senators in
private can be taken as a basis of judg-
ment there is an exceedingly bitter feel
ing developing.
A prominent Democratic senator who
took leading part in aiding the repeal
of the Sherman act, said this morning
that the veto of the Bland bill would
mean the disruption of the party and
that there would be promptly introduced
in both houses free coinage bill, pure
and simple. He also said that so far as
the Senate was concerned there were
enough votes to set the tariff bill aside
for the time and take up the free coinage
bill, which bill, once introduced under
such conditions, he declared would pass.

vada, proceeded to argue that the law
on the subject is as ample and specific as
human ingenuity could provide. Preyi-
GUS to the demonstration of silver, he
SAID. there could have been no such
counrerfeiting of silver dollars because
there could be no profit in making coins
of equal weight and fineness. The reso-
luton was agreed to.
The bill to refer the famous McGarra-
han claim to the court of private land
claims was taken up, and Mr.. Morrill,,
Republican, of Vermont made an argu-
ment against it on the ground chiefly
that the Gomez grant, on which it is
based, was forgery. He protested
against the bill as a steel trap in favor of
the claimant, and said he regarded the
claim as a stupendous fraud.
Mr.. Hunton, Democrat, stated that
President Lincoln told Thaddeus Stevens
he was much bothered about the Nc
Garrahan case and asked him
whether he should sign the patent
Stevens's advice was to s'sign the damned
thing" Some time afterwards, Mr.. Lin
coin sent word to Mr.. Stevens that he
had ''sgned the damned thing" Mr..
Stoddard, the Presidents private secre-
tary. testified that the patent was signed
and recorded. But the land office sup
pressed it, and when, years afterward,
Mr.. McGarrahan chanced to hear OF it,
his lawyer found the last two pages had
been cut out of the record. Those pages
contained the signature of the President
and the records of the two houses of
Congress. Mr.. Hunton asked why
should the Senate hesitate in giving a
new trial to this old man, who had spent
most of his life in advocating claim he
knew to be right?
Mr.. George, Democrat, of Mississippi,
inquired as to the equities of placing on
the United States the burden of account
ing for the net value of the minerals ex-
tracted by the New Idria Mining compa-
ny.
Mr.. Hunton replied that the govern
ment allowed the company to coin the
very blood of McGarrahan into money
to fight his claim.
Mr. Teller, Republican, of Colorado,
explained that the bill only required the
court of private land claims to report to
Congress both the law and the facts.
MI. Villas, Democrat, took the floor,
but yielded to motion to proceed to ex-
ecutive business. At 4.50 the Senate ad-
journed. Pc

Aftes swindler Harry Crocker.

Providence, R. l., March 2s.-The
police of this city, Boston and other
pIaces are looking for swindler named
Harry Crocker, who has victimized a
number of persons in the East, within a
few weeks. Crocker advertised for men
to 90 South with him at $50 a month
and expenses. A number of applicants
answered the advertisement, and some
to bind the bargain paid 500. He in
turn gave as security ninety days note.
From here he went to Boston and
abandoned three victims. He was last
heard of in Philadelphia and Baltimore.
