y SpecuIntiOrs as TO his Successor.
WASHINGTON, Aug. S.-When JUS
tice Jackson was so seriously i'll this
spring that he was not expected to re-
cover the name of his successor was
considerably specialized on. The idea
was suggested by some that the presi-
dent would name Messrs Peckham or
Tornblower, of New York, while the
selection Of a man from the west fell
to Don NJ. Dickson.
Postmaster-Genera Wilson was
strongly spoken OF among the posi-
biities, while the majority were of the
opinion that Secretary Carlisle would
have the place if he wanted it.
Mr.. Carlisle would be especially
eligible, as he would be appointed from
the same district that the death Of
Justice Jackson has made vacant.
The last time Justice Jackson was in
Washington was on the occasion of the
rehear1ng In the income tax cases last
May. He had been absent from the
city and from the bench since the pre-
ceding fail when. soon after the con-
Vening of the October term of the
court, he had been compelled to go
south on account of his rapidly-declin-
ing health. During his absence there
i1ad been contradictory reports as to
ais physical condition. but the prevail
ing opinion enaong his colleagues on
the bench was that ne would never
again pc able to resume his seat. Mr..
Jackson had the reputation in this
city, and especially about the supreme
prGrt, of being very sensitive concern
lag rhe discussion of his health in the
s3solic press, and he referred to the
subject very sparingly in his own con
versation. The other members of the
court were, therefore, poorly advised
as to his condition. This state of
affairs is said TO have been the reason
for the equivocal character of the an
nounccment Of the decision to grant a
rehearing ir the income tax cases.

FOO CHOW. Aug. S.-An official on his
way to this city from Ku Cheng was
killed yesterday. There is no American
protection.
The American governments neglect is
infamous.
The evidence already obtained shows
that the massacre at Hwasang was
planned at least a week before

name of the leaders in it and of some of
the participants.
An official from Foo Chow sent 21O SOL
diers into that section on the 24th of

The vegetarians thought the mission
aries had caused the troops to be sent
and decided to kill them.
They began Immediately to gather at
certain designated place. In passing
through the villages on their way TO the
rendezvous, the vegetarians declared their
intention to destroy the churches and to
kill the Christians.
