Details of China's Executions at Foo Chow
Received.
NEW YORK, Sept. ia cablegran
to the World from Foo Chow, China
says the details of Tuesdays execu
tions have just been received. After
the mandarins. had refused, Friday
to execute any men implicated in the
missionary massacres, the American
and British consuls wired to Peking
Monday the mandarins received the
viceroy's order to execute seven men.
At 6 o'clock Tuesday morning Consul
Hixson, Lieutenant Evans and Mr..
Gregory, the British consul, proceeded
to the yenaea- -gate,-where- the-rnan-
foreigners took their seats the drums
were beaten, a salute fred and the
crier shouted three times:
''The court is OPEN"
Then the condemned men were
brought speedily from their cells.
They knelt before the court and were
tumbled, securely bound, into bam boo
cages, on which were attached pieces
of paper with the sentence written on
them. The mandarins then put on
their scarlet robes, and the death pro-
cession started for the execution
grounds outside the CITY, between lines
of soldiers. When the procession ar
rived the condemned men were tumbled
out and made to kneel with their backs
to the mandarins. Then the five head
men began their bloody work. The
first head fell, clean cut. When the
heads of the seven men were cut off
the vast crowd gave a great shout.
The people clapped their hands and
departed. The heads were hung in a
prominent place in the city as warn
ing.
The mandarins professed ito fear
further trouble, for the crowd of for
elgners there went armed with revol-
vers, but there was ne trouble.

HE Is GIVING THEM AWAY

The Republican papers that feebly
claim the late panic was caused by the
threatened Democratic legislation
should take P. E. Studebaker in hand
and stop his mouth for he is giving
them away. In recent interview he
expressed the opinion that the late
panic was caused by "the government
buying on public account millions of
silver, which made mankind believe
we were preparing to come to a silver
basis" This weakened our securities
abroad and the holders called on us for
the gold. They stopped buying of US
and stopped coming here to settle or
invest. 'The worst thing we: ever
did," he said, "to upset our basket of
eggs was that silver purchasing. In
every point OF view it was unbusiness
like. We swelled our currency by
issuing paper against the silver, which
paper we must now maintain as gold.
We drew no interest upon that silver,
issued dollar Of gold paper or dollar of
silver, and it would have been cheaper
to use $500, ,000.00 at interest. Worst
of all, we have muddled the honest
heads of our countrymen till they be-
ieve they have been injured by con-
'piracy. I suppose that the Sherman
'ilver purchase bill was q Republican
measure to save President Harrison !
rom vetoing free coinage bill, which
le could better have afforded to do"

INTENSE HEAT IN CHICAGO.
Several Prostrations, One Fatal, Occurred
Yesterday.


Yesterday.
CHICAGO, Sept. 19.-The heat during
the past 4S hours has been intense, and
the prospect for cooler weather is not
encouraging. Tuesday night was the
hottest of the year, the thermometer
registering Is deg. for the entire night.
Yesterday there was four prostrations,
one of them. that of an unknown
woman, proving fatal. The others
were Charles Carey, P. G: Fisher, a
board of trade man. and Miss Susie
Up in the Auditorium tower was
probably the coolest place in the city,
the weather man said the thermometer
had registered IS deg. at P. M, but
in the streets it was at least five deg.
hotter.
Quite stiff breeze blew all day, but
it only added to the general discomfort
by blowing dust in the faces of pedes-
trains, for it was of itself hot and
brought comfort to no one.
An aged and unknown woman was
prostrated at Forty-third street and
Wentworth avenue yesterday after
noon from the heat. She was accom-
panied by dog which acted like wild
beast when her mistress went down.
He yelped and dashed and rushed to
and fro, stopping every minute to lick
the woman's face. When the police
arrived and essayed to remove the
body, in which spark of life fingered,
the dog sprang in their way and
snapped viciously. A dozen times he
was driven away only to return to the
charge as viciously as before. The
woman was finally loaded. on a
stretcher and the faithful brute fol.
lowed close in the wake of the patrol.
At the station he made the same dem
onstration of atfectionate protection,
and this time the police, who began to
understand the case little better, per-
mitted him to cuddle up near the
woman. When she expired the re-
mains were removed to the morgue,
and the dog still remained on watch.
All efforts to drive him off proved
futile and he was finally permitted to
mount guard beside the bier on which
she lay.

THE ONLY REMEDY.
We stated in an edito1ial a few day.

We stated in an editorial few days
ago that the perpetual cry Of the Re-
publican press "that the trouble in
maintaining the gold reserve was due
to the lack of revenue" was a cry
raised for political purposes only, and
was entirely devoid OF truth. We as
serted that the trouble was caused by
the fact that we are trying to maintain
billion dollars Of paper money, over
half Of which declares on its lace that
it is redeemable in silver dollars, at
parity with gold, and we are trying to
do this with only one-half or less than
one-half that amount of gold in Cir
culation, and with only 800, 600, 900 OF
gold as reserve. Under the present
laws anyone who has paper money OF
any kind can present it at the treasury,
demand and get gold for it. This is a
condition that will exist in spite OF the
amount of revenue, or surplus in the
treasury. We may get large surplus
in the treasury by increased revenues,
but that surplus will not be in gold.
No matter how much gold we might
acquire, or by what process we might
get it, whether from duties or the sale
of bonds, just SO long as we have paper
money redeemable in gold that long
the gold is subject to the demands Of
the owners of paper money, the gov
ernment's promises to pay. This Is the
condition that exists now, and that
will exist until the government goes
out of the banking business and re-
tires its paper money. This is the
condition that has given rise to the
silver fallacy. Our white metal citi-
zens recognize the disease, but instead
of proposing remedy, they propose
to change the disease. They say
"Give us free coinage Of silver and the
raid on gold will cease" and they tell
the truth. The raid on gold would
cease because there would be no gold
on which raid could be made. We
would be on silver basis in "a hours
after the free coinage of silver was
adopted, and there wouldn't be gold
enough left in the country in q month
to plug Sidney Dell's teeth with. One
third of the circulating medium would
disappear as the evanescent spirit OF
dream. The ST. Paul Pioneer Press
as quoted and indorsed by the Orego-
nian yesterday sums up its conclusions
on this subject, and sums them up cor
rectly, as follows:
1.-THE most important duty OF the
next congress is to get rid at once and
forever of all the government forms OF
paper money-to take the government
at once and forever out Of the banking
business. This is their duty; but it is
q duty they will not perform. We
shall q, on fooling with the dynamite
which is stored under our monetary
system by foolish Legislation until
-c-ae- -aar not far distant terrific ex-
plosion will shats.r sac whole fabrie
of our national fnaaees,sof onr public
and COMMERCE. eredit-and those who
survive the crash win probably have
learned wisdom enough from this
calamity tie reconstruct the edifice on
more solid foundations.

Besides this, on cotton hosiery, and
cotton underwear, the duty under the
law of 1883, which was in force eight
years and to the passage of the Nc
Kinley bill was 4Oper cent. advalorem.
Under the Mckinley bill it was the
same with an additional specific duty
of from so cents to s1.25 per dozen,
according to value, and under the
Wilson bill so per cent.
1t will be seen from this that the
duty on cotton the protection" our
Republican contemporaries are so
clamorous for, is from IA to 25 per
cent. higher under the present law
than it was under the laws of 1883.
The Blade says the California mills
have been running II years. Then
they must have been established under
the Morrill, tariff which was lower
than any alluded to, and must accord.
ing to the same authority have pros
pered under the law of 1882, which
gave them 35 per cent. advalorem
protection. Yet according to that
authority when the duty was increased
from 35 per cent. to an average of 43,
the cotton industry in California was
ruined. The logical conclusion from
the Blades premises is that the cotton
industry needs lower duties.

REPUBLICANS IN A ROW.

Nice Doings of Crook County Central Com
mittee.
CHICAGO, Sept. 1S.-A meeting Of
the republican county central COM
mittee was held at the Great Northern
hotel last night for the purpose of
choosing chairman. For some time
there has been friction between the
politicians supporting the edminis-
tration of Mayor Swift and others who
ere against him. Incidental to the
work of choosing chairman, it was
intended that the factions should "get
together" in harmony. They got to-
gether all right, but not after the
fashion outlined in the programme.
There were fights without number.
broken heads and bloody noses, and
the meeting generally was character
lied by the widest disorder. The first
fight of the evening occurred when
Deputy Sheriff F. NJ. Goodman. of the
Swift faction, attempted to force his
way into the room against the wishes
of Buck Mccarthy, Swift man.
Mccarthy landed on Goodmans's nose.
broke it in two places, dashed out FIVE OF
Goodman's teeth and knocked him
senseless. He was carried away by his
friends.
Detective Segeant Gard. who was in
the room, made an attempt to control
the actions of the County Clerk Van
Cieve, and the second battle of the
evening was on. Van Cleve objected
to the officers interference. and
promptly received crack over the
Uranium from the officers stick. This
aroused Van Cleve's friends, and a
wild rush was made for Gard, one man
seizing him by the neck, others. by the
arms and legs. He was carried bodily
from the room, every anti-Swift man
within reach taking good hard whack
at him. AS Gard was deposited in the
hall Alderman Henry Lammersman
made rush for Gard and kicked him.
Another rush was was made for
Gard, and he was thrown bodily out of
the hallway, free fight being in pro-
gress while he made his forced exit.
Commissioner of Public Works Kent
was standing in the committee-room
when this fight came off. and the as
sertion was at once made by the anti
Swift element that he had brought the
police there to coerce the action of the
committee. Loud cries were heard of
''Throw Kent out; hang him." and
Throw him out of the window" A
rush was made in his direction, and,
being near the doorway, the commits
sioner lost no time in making his es-
cape, leaving behind him full-blown
fight between his friends, anxious to
protect him, and the crowd of anti
Swift men desiring to get at him.
Several more fights occurred during
the meeting, which finally adjourned
without result, save the appointment
of harmony" committee, which will
endeavor to reconcile the two factions.

DYING BY THOUSANDS.
Cholera Has Secured Firm Foothold In
China and Japan.

| China and Japan.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 1S.-Notwith
| standing the endeavor of the Japanese
and Chinese authorities to suppress
news.concerning the cholera, the truth
has at last come to light concerning
the plague. Japan and North China
are fairly alive with cholera germs,
Siberian officials have declared Jap.
anese open ports infected, and from
officials sources it is learned that over
II 900 people have died in Japan from
the plague since its start in Pescadores.
In China, the disease has gained firm
foothold.
Advices by steamer Rio Janeiro re-
ports that in Toxic the heat is terrific
and the disease germs have been
nnrssd by the climate into virulent
life. On the steamer little could be
learned concerning Yokohama, but
nevertheless the plague is ragingsthere
also.
In China, at Che-Foo, the disease is
spreading rapidly. Miss Turner and
the child of DR.. and Mrs. McFarlane, of
the Chu Chat London mission, were
stricken down and died. At Nanking,
much illness prevails among the for
eigners, many of whom have been
forced to fee from the country.
The ravage of cholera in Japan are
far greater than have been reported.
Up to August 26, just before the Rio |
sailed, II ,238 deaths from the disease |
were reported.

Countries
II the people took the trouble to in
form themselves concerning the Will
son bill. and to compare it with the
tariff laws of 1883 or the Mckinley bill,
comment on such statements would be
unnecessary. But the majority OF the
people do not do this. Indeed it is
fair to presume that most of the editors
OF the Republican papers had neg
lected to inform themselves on the
matter, being content to make as.
sertions supply the place of facts. A
comparison of the three tariff bills
that of 1883, McKinley's and Wilson g
or the present bill will show that the
latter is almost re.enactment of the
former, with the exception Of wool,
sugar and a few other articles which are
now on the free list. We give below
the duties on cotton under the three
bills, to show that the Blades state
ment is made without a shadow OF
fact behind it. The first figures show
the duties under the law OF 1883, the
second under the Mckinley bill,. and

WHAT KIND OF a TARIFF?

The Oregonian says. when the Re.
publican congress gets in, and we
have the right kind of tariff, the
country will be again prosperous. Our
big contemporary would confer favor
on the great majority Of its readers by
vouchsafing an opinion as to what it
considers the right kind of tariff.
Is it the original Morrill, tariff of 20
per cent? Is it the tariff of 1883? Is
it the William Mckinley tariff? Or
Is it an entirely new and original tariff
not yet down on the bills? The Ore
gonian certainly does not mean the
present tariff, because it intimates that
things are going to be lovely as soon
as that is changed. 1t certainly can
not mean the re-adoption of the Nc
Kinley bill because that proved total
failure. Under it that 5000, ,O0O, 600
surplus in the treasury was soon ex-
hausted. and under it came the lowest
prices in all our products and manu-
factures ever known. Under it, wool
reached the lowest price ever heard of
in America, and only q trife oyre
half of that received for it this year
when it is on the free list. The inan-
eial panic came while the Mckinley
bill was in operation, and the revenues
under it did not begin to meet the ex-
penses of the government. The Nc
Kinley tariff, the biggest we have ever |
had was failure as revenue pro-
ducer, hence it is fair to presume |
that the Oregonlan wants not that
tariff. The tariff Of 1883 was q much
lower tariff than the Mckinley article.
Is that the kind our contemporary
wants? Has it come to it at last that
what the country needs is q lower, in
stead of higher tariff? Or does it
want to 60 back to the Morrill, tariff
under which s1,500, 900, 900 of the
national debt was paid of, and which
was lower tariff yet, though war
measure, than that of 1883. The Will
son bill has been on trial for only a
year, but it has proven better bill
than its predecessor, and will yet
furnish revenues sufficient for carry
Ing on the government. What the
country needs is not new tariff bill,
but to be let alone, and the business {
Of the country allowed to go on, on
'ettled basis. If there is one reason
stronger than another why the Repub-
leans should not be again given
:harge of the government it is that
hey threaten to change the tariff, q
nd to again upset the business of the G
ountry. In the meanwhile we would o
Ike to know what kind of tariff the "
would like to have. o
