an editorial dealing with Lii Hung

"Li Hung Chang affects a panied
surprise because of Lord S%alisbury's
failure to quickly agree to his PROPOSE
ton for a revision of the tariff now In
force in the trade between China and
England. 1t is understood that Lord
Salisbury does moi oppose the princi-
Pile OF revision, but that he wants to
ascertain the views OF the members OF
the chamber OF commerce at Shanghai
and elsewhere upon the subject of the

New York. Aug. 21.-Walker B. Ad-
ans. the stock operator and post
master at Bedford Station. West Ches.
ter county. who was shot in an encoun-
ter with burglars Wednesday night, is
dead. Nothing has been learned as to
the identity Of the two men whom
William Adams, the son of walker B
Adams. shot, both men stolidly refus-
ing to talk. though knowing that theil
wounds are more than likely to result
fatally.
Word has been received from Bed
ford Station that the descriptions furn-
ished by the police of Brooklyn, Of the
man who appeared at the Long Island
college hospital with a shattered arm,
does not tally with the appearance Of
the two burglars who escaped. AS the
mar In the hospital has told conflict
ing stories as to how he anne by his
wound. and as some articles found on
his person indicate a possibility tina,
he is a house breaker, the police will
hold him for further developments.

details relating to the proposed

details relating to the proposed
changes"
In an interview Lord Salisbury said
chat Ii Hung Chang agreed that Eng
land had not hesitated to agree to an
increase in tariff in the case of Japan
without asking for any equivalent,
therefore the Chinese diplomat was of
the opinion that it would be only an
act of justice for England to do the
same by China, and although Ii Hung
Chang favors freeing the whole of the
Chinese seaports to foreign commerce,
he could not offer that as a compensa-
ton for a just concession already CIV
en- Japan.
Ii Hung Chang insinuated that Lord
~Salis0ury's reluctance upon this point
would hinder all possibilities of Chin
csc progress in the matter of trade and
commerce.

McLeansbOro. H.. Aug. 2l.-A muir,
ship, eight miles cas- of here, at 10
O'Clock this morning. For some time
Jhere has been bad blood between A.
NJ. Ray. a farmer. about Go years old,
and two young farmers, Joshua and
Loren Biggerstaff. over the reported
attentions of Ray to their mother, Mrs.
Jessie Mitchell. who is about 60 years
of age.
This morning, while looking at some
corn on their mothers farm, the boys
saw Ray pass with a gun on his should
er, which he had carried constantly for
months. To avoid a difficulty they kept
silent until he passed. Thinking he
had gone, they started in the same di-
rection. 1t appears thai Ray was
aware Of their presence. for they had
not gone far when he jumped from be-
hind a stump, knocked Joshua Bigger
staff down with his gun. and then fired
the contents OF one barrel into his
head, killing him instantly. He drew
his gun on Loren, but the latter start
ed off on a run screaming at the top
of his voice, and took refuge behind a
tree. Ray started for home, where.
this afternoon. Deputy Sheriff Lane ar
rested him and brought hin 20 town.
There is considerable excitement in the
neighborhood of The killing. Bigger
staff leaves a widow and two young
children. He was considered quiet and
peaceable. The coroner's Jury has re.
turned a verdict of wilful and DELHI
crate murder, and Ray has been COM
mitted to Jail.

KANSAS BANK ROBBERY.
A Thief Taps the Cash Drawer for Ov-
er $1,000.

Kansas City, Mo-, Aug. 21.-Across
the line in Kansas City, Kan. this
morning an unknown thief entered the
branch of the American National bank
during the momentary absence Of the
cashier and prying open a desk, secur.
ed 81, 900 in currency and made his es.
cape.
Two hundred dollars in silver were
untouched by the robber. The act was
bold and was apparently committed by
some n familiar with the premises.
The bank Is situated in the busy por-
ton Of the place, making the robbery
more daring.
E. r. Boswell, cashier and teller,
opened the bank shortly after 9 O'Clock.
After counting several Thousand dol
lars taken from the safe, he remember
ed he had a message to deliver to a
neighboring business house. He hur-
riedly returned the bulk of the money
to the safe and the rest of 1t to a
drawer in the cashiers table desk.
Across the hall from the bank sal J.
R. stoller, president of the Kansas
City Live Stock exchange. He was
only a dozen feet distant and Boswell
felt safe in going out. Although he re-
turned In at most five minutes, the
robbery had been committed without
anyone knowing it. The robber had
come behind the railing, pried open
the drawer, probably with a small bar,
taken what currency he could easily
carry and. carefully closing the re-
lceptacle, departed. The exact amount
taken is not known. and may consid-
erably exceed $1,000.

DlnIne on silver.

Speaking of tho demonetization Of
silver by the act Of 1878. james G..
Blaine, tho great successful leader Of
the Republican party for SO many years,
in the senate, Feb. 7, 1878, said:
~ believe gold and silver coin to bc
the money of the stitution--indecd
the money OF the American people am
terror to the constitution which tho
great organic law recognized as quite
independent of its own existence. No
power was conferred on congress to de-
clare that either metal should not bo
money. Congress has therefore, in my
Judgment. 10 power TO dcmonetizo sill
yer any mere than TO dcmonctizo gold
no power TO demonetizc either than TO
demonetizc both. II. therefore, silver
has been demonctized, am i'll favor of
remonetizing it. III its coinage has been
prohibited, am in favor Of ordering it
TO be resumed; if it has been restricted
arl in favcr Of having it enlarged. In
logic and legal construction it would
be difficult TO show where and why tho
power of congress over silver is greater
than over gold, greater over either than
over the two.

Winchester Pres1ytcry.

A "Called Meeting" of Winchester Pres
bytery began its sessions in the Presbyterian
Church in this town yesterday afternoon
primarily for the examination of two candi-
dates for the ministry, and for the transac
ton of other business incidental to a meet
ing of this kind. Rev. r. A. White is the
moderator, and Rev. A. @. Hopkins, Jr.,
clerk. Yesterday afternoon the pastoral re-
lation o. Rev. Ell. q. V. Campbell and the
Berkeley Springs Church was severed. and a
call to the Salem Church placed in the hands
of Mr.. CAMPBELL. Upon signitying his ac-
ceptance thereof his dismission to the Mont
gomery P~resbytery was granted. As Chair
man of the Publication Board of the Presby-
terry Mr.. Campbell made his final report,
which was accepted, and Rev. Mr.. Stribling
was elected to the vacancy in the Board ere
ated by Mr.. C's retirement. AT his own ur-
gent request, Mr.. Zell, of the. Burlington
Church, was retired from the Ruling Elder
ship. P. B. Henderlite and j. J. Fix are the
candidates for the ministry whose examina.
ton for the ministry is in progress. The
former preached his trial sermon" last
night, and upon roll call it was unanimously
approved, and the record made of Sustained
and satisfaclory."-Free Press.
Wednesday morning at II a. m. Mr..
Fix preached his trial sermon from
Luke ID: 3, which was highly approx
ed and sustained as satisfactory. Most
of the day vas consumed in examining
the two candidates. Mr.. Fix's exami-
nation was sustained in all its parts.
Owing to ill health, which had inter-
rupted MIR. Henderlite's classical edu-
cation, he was excused from some items
of usual examination, but in view of
his theological course and a good ex-
animation on it, Presbytery determined
to license him, and about 3 p. NJ. both
the candidates were duly licensed
which Presbytery adjourned.
