examination showed that it was blood,
instead of varnish. The mark on the

about eighteen inches from the floor. The
superstition is that the murderer, in

ton from the committee ON sound money
legislation of the Chamber Of Commerce
Of the state Of New York upon the sub
iect OF "agitating against the free coinage
of silver and in favor Of the maintenance
of the present standard Of valuess' We
entertain profound conviction that the
free coinage of silver, at the ratio OF 10
TO I, by the United States alone without
international agreement. means not bime-
tallism but silver mDnometallism. Bi-
metallism does not to-day prevail in any
country of the world whore free coinage

at the present price OF silver bullion.
the co-existence of bimetallism and free
coinage at the ratio of l6 TO ], without in
ternational agreement, is simply an inl-
possibility.
Under existing circuns tances, there
fore, If the United States should under
take free coinage Of silver at Is 70 !, II
would result in forcing the country TO
the sole silver standard, making 1t take
rank as a silver country, with China, Ja-
pan, India and Mexico. It would bring
about the debasement of our currency and
the consequent reduction in value of the
accumulated savings OF the people; in
the price of the labor Of the mechanic,
the tiler of the soil, the salaried clerk,
the physician, the lawyer, and every man
who lives by the work Of his brain or
hands.
"If 1t should be believed by the nations
of the world that the United States was
about to embark upon so hazardous an
adventure it would. in all probability
precipitate a panic more enduring than
the frightful financial convulsion OF 1875.

CHINA's ANTI-cHRIsTIAN RIOTS.
Three Mission buildings Destroyed,
But no Lives Lost.

bus A4ANGb LOSls
Washington, July 1.-THE state depart
ment has received from Mr.. DENLY, the
United States minister at Pekin. particu-
lars of the recent anti-Chrlstian riots at
Ching Tu. the capital of the province of
Szohuan. The Catholic mission building,
and those Of the China-Ireland and Cana
dian missions were destroyed. No for
eigner was injured. except the Catholic
bishop, and he not seriously.
At the time the report was written-June
4-Mr. DENLY had received no official news
of the occurrence. He says he knows of
but one American who is at Ching Tu.
His name Is Virgil c. Hart, and he is con-
nected with the Canadian mission.
Continuing, Mr.. DENLY says: Strong
measures have been taken by the govern
ment of China to prevent the spread of this
riotous spirit to the Yang Use towns
Ching Tu is situate on the river Min.
It's popuation is supposed to approach
100000. 1t has great wealth and political
Importance, and as far back as the time of
Marco Polo was noted for it's beauty
1t is the home of a viceroy."
The breaking out of a riot in such a city
thoroughly indicates that the effect of the
recent war has not been felt in the inter-
ior of China
In another dispatch Mr.. DENLY says he
has received fromthe Tsung Li-Yamen, or
Chinese board of foreign affairs, an order
that the viceroy of Canton pay to the
American Presbyterion mission at Yung
Kong, in Kwang Tung, the sum of $780,
due for losses sustained by a riot
