A New Register Selected.

Some surprise is expressed in local demo-
cratic circles at the apparent delay in the
appointment of Register Wright's sue
oessor, but it is confidently asserted that
this matter will be settled before the close
of the present week. 1t is said that the
President practically selected the next reg
lister at the time he directed the appoint
nent OF Mr.. Clagett to another office. 1t
seems to- have been settled that the latter
should have one OF the two offices, and the
fact that he did not get the one he prefer
red is accepted as conclusive that it was
because the President had selected some
one else for the regist tership.

massacre There are no records at the
State Department showing the number of
missionaries at Chengtu.
There is a telegraph line to Cheng tu
and the State Department officials think
there should be no difficulty in learning all
the facts in the case, and as no report of
the massacre has been received by the de-
partment 1t was thought that the outrage
may have consisted of the destruction of
property only and rot have resulted in the
death of any of the missionaries. 1t is sa ID
at the State Department that If the Cheng
tu mentioned in the dispatches is the point
on the Yang-tse, it is probable that there
two or three Catholic missionaries at the
place.
Perhaps 1t is Chnngte.
This afternoon State Department officials
after Investigating the reports, said they
thought an error has been made in the
transmission of the name of the place
where the massacre is said to have occur
red. 1t is believed that this name, instead
of Chengtu, should be Changte, the capital
of Human. In this place there are num-
Der of foreign missionaries, and the anti
foreign feeling is very strong. In 1893 there
were threatening demonstrations by the
people, and the missionaries We're kept for
some time in a state of terrorism by the
