Chinese Placard.

A placard which was posted in Cheng-
tu after the not ran as follows: China
and foreign countries. the people and the
Christians being at variance. mot themere
natter OF a day. The more the foreigners
impose upon them the more the people hate
the religion; md CON fusing England. France
and America with Japan. vent their right
eous Indignation by destroying the Catholic
and Protestant missiuas and hospitals.
Thus was carried into effect a counter
stratasem of the Japanese, who took ad-
vantage of the long g-standing enmity Of the
people toward foreigners to stir up trou-
Bile The result has been to involve the
Emperor in difficulties on every side. In
my humble opinion the only way to
strengthen ourselves is to open mines and
train militia. We must add soldiers and
withstand the enemy. and then will we
quickly reform the barbarians, max
ing them like ourselves and bring ing
about peace in place of destruction. If
the Christians, no longer willing to be
deceived, will worship the idols and con-
form to the customs of the mu ititude
then will the people cease from anger
and from contests with them, refrain
ing from pushing things to extremes.
Then will the emperor be saved from
daily and nightly sorrow and the officials
be spared anxiety and trouble The peo-
pies coed disposition Will be nourished
and harmful heresies will cease. How
much better this would be than continued

AccUsER THE GUILTY MAN.
G. T. Jenkins Tried to Fasten His Own
Crime Upon G.. b. Conn.

Atlanta, Ca, Sept. 21.-G. T. jenkins
was arrested yesterday on suspicion of
being the actual murderer. or the instigator
OF the murder OF B. A Bass.
jenkins is a tobacco drummer. He has
been very active in an apparent effort to
run down the murder. His zeal and his
effort to put the murder on George b. Conn.
a member of the detective force, attracted
suspicion to himself. Yesterday four
men were secreted in j closet adjoining a
room In which jenkins ind a woman named
Dampman were talking.
The woman was posted by the detective,
and she drew from Jenkins the admission
that he had promised to give her $500 IL
she would swear that the pistol found by
the side of Bass belonged Cnn. jenkins
had made this offer to the woman and the
detectives wanted to get him TO repeat
it in the hearing of disinterested parties.
jenkins fell into the trap neatly. A strong
chain of circuInstantial evidence is being
woven about Jenk ins, and there seems little
doubt now that he either committed the
murder or knows who did it. 1t is pre-
surned that jenkins feared that Bass
would give him away as a member OF
gang OF thieves. jenkins is also said to
have been jealous of Bass.
