JAPS WANT NO PREACHERS
Missionary johnson of the Board Of
Missions Gives Information.
Oriental Islanders Want No Foreign
Attend TO Their Own Affairs.

San Francisco, Sept. 11.-Four repre-
sentatives of the American Board Of
Missions are at the Occidental Hotel They
are Rev. James Gibson Johnson, of Chicago;
Rev. A. II. Bradford, of Mont Clair, n. j.;
and Rev. william p. Ellison and DR.. James
L. Burton, of Boston, who compose
deputation recently appointed by the Amer
lean Board of Missions to visit Japa in the
interest of the missionaries whu have lately
had serious difficulties with the japanese
government. The commission expects to
leave on the steamer Coptic, which saile
in n few days for the Orient.
1t is pretty well understood the Protest
ant missionary work in both China and Jap
an is conducted under the direction OF the
American Board of Missions, which has in
in the past few years accomplished a lot OF
good work in the Orient. Lately, however,
there has been demonstrated among the
people of Japan disposition to no longer
cooperate with foreigners in the educa-
tonal advancement of the country.
According TO the statements of DR..
Johnson, the japanese regard themselves
as fully capable TO manage their own af-
fairs and they have begun to look upon
the efforts or the missionaries to assist
them as an imputation on their ability.
There is law in the empire which pro-
hibits foreigners holding property except
in few treaty ports, and all mission
airy property necessarily must be held by
japanese, which, as may be imagined,
severely compllcates the efforts OF the
Christian workers
The japanese do not bear any hatred
for foreigners" says DR.. johnson, "bt
their government insists that the co-opera-
ton between its subjects and mission
aries and teachers shall cease
"our American board has been asked by,
the government TO send a deputation over.
to that country for the purpose of set
ting important questi ols arising from
these differences"

A Pennsylvania Woman Who Has
Been Shocked 81 Times In 10 Years.

A pennsylvania w NoUan w no has
Been Shocked 81 Times in Years.
Sharon, Pa, Sept. 11.-Physicians are
puzzled over the strange case of Mrs.
Archibald Rankin an elderly woman, re-
siding two miles east of Sharon. Eight or
ten years ago, during storm, she suf-
fered q severe electrical shock, and for
two months thereafter she appeared to be
at the point of death She finally recov-
cred, but ever since then she has been
peculiarly susceptible to electricity, and
has suffered from thirty distinct shocks.
Mrs. Rankin and her children are in ter
ror whenever storm comes up, and sad
died horse is always kept in readiness to
carry a messenger to Sharon for physi-
clan. When during q storm mounted man
is seen scurrying through the streets of
Sharon the people take it as a sign that
Mrs. Rankin has been shocked again. She
has been provided with chair resting on
glass insulators and in this she always
takes her seat at the approach of a storm.
Mrs. Rankin was visiting a neighbor Sun
day when a storm came up. She imme7
diately FASTENED toward home, but before
she could reach it she suffered a severe
hook that paralyzed her left side. II is
thought that she cannot recover.
On several occasions when Mrs Rankin
has suffered from the electric fluid the
house has been damaged, but, strangely
enough, none of the other inmates haseyer
been injured.

TREMENDOUS RECEIPTS.
How Grain Is Pouring Into Elevators
at Duluth.

Chicago, Sept. ia Duluth, Mimi,
special says:
The tremendous receipts of wheat at
this point from North Dakota and the
northwestern part of Minnesota are caus-
ing comment among the grain men, espe
cially those who short time ago were
predicting a sudden increase in price
The receipts are the largest in the his
tory of the Northwest at this time of the
year Those reported yesterday were
1,431 cars, against 700 cars the same day
in 1891, and over 20 per cent of the new
grain is of contract grade.
The grain which is below grade has been
damaged by smut, which will, before the
crop is in, be found 10 have done consid-
erlble damage. Grain mel pr.dict that
unless new seed is obtained at once the
next crop viii be alniost worthless, as the
smut keeps increasing year by year.
The only way to stamp out the trouble,
which now threatens TO do great damages
next year, is to Procure seed from fields
which have not been contaminated in the
slightest degree.
