ORIENTAL ADVICES.
ANONYMOUS PLACARDS POSTED
AT NINGPO
Inviting the People to Kill Foreigners
and Native Christians and to
Destroy the Chapels.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 13.-The fol-
lowing correspondence from Japan, un-
der date of Toxic, October 27th, was
received by the steamship Coptic to-
day:
Advices from the vicinity OF Ningpo
state that anonymous placards were
recently posted in various places invit-
ing the people to kill foreigners and ma
tive Christians and to destroy the
chapels. Here is translation of one
of the placards:
This placard is to inform and invite
the upper and lower Lintseng Oiterary
mem to proceed to Macheo to attempt
with one heart and strength to destroy
the Jesus religion wholly Now. in
Szechuen and Foo Chow and every
place in obedience to the Imperial will.
they have just killed and driven out
the devils and those who eat the for
eign teaching, but we. the natives of
the holy and Virtuous region, see
everywhere over our hills chapels es-
ta blished by the foreign devils to prop
agate the foreign doctrine Our sacred
nation is fighting against the Japanese
and many of the enemy were captured
by Liu's armies and there We're for
eign devils found amongst them. Why
not come altogether here and make
use of this wonderful opportunity to
destroy these rObbers?"
The first effect of these incendiary
documents was that two native Chris
tians were beaten and others threat
ened with worse things. Happily, be-
fore the mischief had time to grow the
proclamations were brought by a for
eigner to the notice OF the Prefect. who
promptly issued a proclamation warn
ing evil-doers and ordering the author
ities to be on the alert.
Persistent attempts are still made in
tho East to secure for France the credit
of having compelled China to perma-
nently degrade and disqualify the ex-
Viceroy of Szechuan. 1t is claimed that
when NJ Gerard, the French represent
ative in Pekin, obtained from the
Tsung Lii Yamen satisfactory arrange
rents for the pecuniary indemnifica-
ton of his nations losses in Cheng Tu
he also elected q promise that due
punishment should be meted out to any
officials found guilty of having pro-
Noted the outrages by connivance or
negligence.
It is singular that any one convers-
ant with the ways of Chinese official
dom should believe in the faithful dis
charge of such a vague engagement.
The undoubtedly established fact is
that the British Minister, Sir N
O'Connor. presented to the Tsung Ii
vamen an ultimatum declaring that
unless the eX-Viceroy We're publicly
degraded within three days the affair
would be placed in the hands of the
British Admiral. whose instructions
were TO occupy the Yang Use Valley.
Sir Nicholas at the same time exacted
o pledge that all other officials guilty
OF want of vigilance should be pun
ished
An edict degrading the ex-viceroy
was Immediately issued.

NEW YORK HORSE SHOW.
Fifteen Thousand People Attended th
Exposition Yesterday.

NEW YORK, Nov Fifteen
thousand people were in attendance at
the horse show this afternoon. and the
great amphitheater was crowded with
the most brilliant throng that has ever
been within its doors. Society turned
yout in more gorgeous array than on
either Monday or Tuesday evening. The
Duke and Duchess OF Marlborough
were present the observed OF all OBJ
servers. They sat in the arena seats
which Mrs. Alva Vanderbilt has used
all the week, and not in W K Wander
bilt's box, as everyone expected Mrs
Vanderbilt and Colonel and Mrs Jay
sat with the Duke and Duchess. So
great was the rush of the multitude to
get a glimpse of the young people that
an officer was detailed TO keep the
people moving down the aisle in front
of them. In the other boxes were the
Astors, Sloanes, Wideners, Kips, Goe-
let's Goulds, Iselins, HOLSTERS Bron-
sens, Webbs and Benedicts and a hun
dTed other well-known families The
promenade was jammed with people all
the evening. Hundreds, when they got
as far as the entrance. turned away
when they saw the throng. The pro-
gramme for the day and evening was
one of the best. and the display in
coaching, carriage and hunting classes
was beyond that of the best of the for
mer shows in this city.

the magnates and the followers of the
National game. Wars and rumors Of

connected with ball was keyed up TO the
utmost pitch. But. though the meet

have been taken remained on their
owners heads. Combines that were to
give birth TO a storm did not even ma

Whatever the morrow may bring
forth, harmony prevailed to-day, and
even If very little business was done,
at all events the pow WOW ended with

Board of Directors went into session

EX-SPEAKER CRISP.
He Addresses n Joint Session of the
Georgia Legislature.

ATLANTA (Ga). Nov lex
Speaker Charles A. Crisp, spoke before
joint session of the House and Senate
of the Georgia Legislature tonight. He
had been invited to address the Legis-
lature on the political issues of the
day, but confined himself almost ex-
clusively to the silver question, coming
out most emphatically for the free coin
age of both gold and silver at the pres
ent ratio, and arguing that the United
States, with her 10000 Goo people, were
sufficiently powerful to establish BIZ
metallism the world over.
His speech was received with the
greatest enthusiasm.
Mr.. Crisp went into the history of
the coinage laws. In 1873, he said
when silver was demonetized. the bull
ion value OF the silver dollar was three
cents more than the bullion value Of a
gold dollar The law of 1873 was
passed without the full knowledge of
the people or their representatives. He
quoted from Thurman, Allison Gar
field. Blaine, Beck and others 20 show
that the full character OF the bin was
not known. and that ii was not known
at the time that the bill demonetized
silver.
