Coming Here to Study.

The Chinese Government has awakened
to the fact that the recent defeat by their
smaller but more highly educated neigh
Dor. Japan, was due entirely to the incul-
cation in the latter nation of western
methods. In view of possible future COM
plications the Chinese Government has
decided to recognize the superiority of for
eign training AS result twenty Chin
ese boys, ranging in age from 10 to II
years, will soon make their appearance in
this country. Unlike their predecessors,
these visitors come as children to become
skilled in mechanical arts. The young
sters will come over in care of the Rev.
Hui Kin, superintendent Of the Presby-
terian mission, who is graduate OF an
American college and the third Chinaman
to be ordained in this country. Mr.. Kin
saw what the Chinese officials had not
seen-that to properly educate the oriental
in western methods he must be brought
here while very young. Finally as an ex-
pertinent it was decided to permit the
minister to bring back with him to Amer
lea twenty boys. He selected the SONS
Of farmers as being better &tted physi-
ca@ly to enter into mechanical training.
The expenses of the pupils are paid by
their fathers. Mr.. Kin's plans are not
yet known to the people in charge Of the
mission, but II is understood the lads are
to remain here for some years, and return
to China with a liberal mechanical and
scientific education. China, il is believed,
will also apply soon to this Government
for the privilege Of sending one or more
OF its youths to West Point and Annapo-
lis. The twenty youngsters who will ar
rive soon will remain here under bonds to
return to their native country, and every
precaution will be taken against the viola
ton OF our anti Chinese laws

THE PEOPLES ORE,
WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Regular Correspondent.


From Our Regular Correspondent.
WASHINGTON. d. c., Nov. 81, '96.
The problem of what will be
done or even attempted at the
short session of congress seems
to become more complicated as
the number of senators and repre-
sentatives in Washingt on in
creases. There are about as many
opinions as there are senators and
representatives, and if there isn't
some verv rapid getting together
when congress meets it is probable
that the session will be devoted
to talk and the passing of the
regular appropriation bills, un-
less action upon the Cuban ques-
ton be had that will cause war
with Spain.
Members of the administration
still publicly say that they do not
expect trouble with Spain, but
there are hints about the manner
in which President Cleveland will
handle the Cuban question IN his
message to congress which serve
as a basis for the continuation of
war rumors, and the war prepar-
ations the administration is MAX
ing cause those rumors to attract
more attention than they other
wise would. This week an adj
ditional force of meu was put to
work in the big gun shop at the
Washington navy yard and the
men divided into three shifts Of
eight hours each, in order that
the work might be kept going
night and day. Of course these
preparations may be intended for
bluff to keep the hot-headed
Spaniards with hair-t ri G G r
tongues from doing anything to
make war necessary.
There is a tempest in a teapot
on in Washington, which can on
ly be quieted by the action OF
Chairman Mark Hanna. The
District of Columbia member of
the republican national commit
tee has recommended a gold
democrat for chairman of the
committee which will have charge
of the Inauguration of President
Mckinley, and number of the
republicans have sent protest
to Mr.. Hanna against the appoint
ment, claiming that while the
inauguration committee is always
non-partisan in its makeup the
chairman is always member OF
the winning party. Mr.. Hanna
is coming to Washington to settle
| the matter.
There may not be a general
tariff bill after all, although
| there will almost certainly be an
extra session of the ffty-ffth con-
gress called expressly to legislate
on the tariff. Statements from
! prominent republican $ woul

If the reports that come from

seem 10 indicate tIldl lHey ptelel
to amend the present tariff law,
instead of preparing an entirely
new bill, and their advice may be
followed, Chairman Dingley, of
the house ways and means COM
mittee, and Senator Chandler are
among those who have expressed
themselves in favor of amending
present tariff laws. The latter
gentleman gives as one of his
reasons that sit will be much
easier to amend the present tariff
law so that it will be satisfactory
and produce sufficient revenue. "
That plan will not, however, be
followed without vigorous pro-
test from those republicans who
think their party should prepare
and pass tariff bill of its own
and not try to patch up the law
now in force. 1t is little early
to be discussing this matter, but
in political circles the probable
action of the ffty-hfth congress
is being much more discussed
than the short session of the fifty
fourth congress, now upon us.
One of the many things that
are difficult to understand is the
power welded over congress by
the brewers of the country. Near
ly every senator or representative
who will talk about the matter
at all agrees that the easiest way
to put S35.ooO,oo0 a year addi-
tional into the treasury would be
to add 81 barrel to the inter
nal revenue tax on beer; that 1t
wouldn't cost the government a
cent extra to collect this money,
and that the treasury will need it
very badly in the near future, but
they all wind up by saying that
the brewers will defeat the bill it
an attempt is made to pass it.
1t looks like it would be a good
| idea to get bill providing for
this tax forced to a vote, in order
that the people might see just
how powerful the brewers are.
Many things defeated in commit
tees and by Legislative lugglery
could not be defeated by an open
vote in congress.
There is more or less gossip as
to whether the republican sena-
tors will invit the silver re-
publican senators who bolted
the St. Louis convention and
supported Bryan to attend the re-
publican caucus; also, whether
the caucus will attempt to oust
those senators from their COM
mittee positions. Senator Teller
of Colo, is chairman of the COM
mittee on claims and member OF
the appropriations committee, the
Judiciary committee, the commit.
tee on. rules and Of two select
committees; Senator Dubois, OF
Idaho, is. chairman of the commit.

young people to assert their individuality
and to dare to be peculiar. No abstract
can do Justice to this address. 1t was one

EVENING SESSION.
At the evening service half-hour of
song was conducted by Rev Andrew Gill
lies. Miss Fannie e. Parmenter rendered,
artstically, violin solo, Rev. w. s. Smith
ers led the devotions, and f. w. Bancroft
sang q solo in his most perfect manner and
responded to an encore.
The speaker Of the evening was Rev. w.
N. Brodbeck, DID,, of Charlestown, Mass,
a successful pastor both in the East and
West. His theme was The Young Peo-
pie and the Revival" For an hour and fif-
teen minutes he held the vast audience
spell-bound. With combined pathos and
mirth illustrated by incidents from his
own long experience, he set before the
young people higher ideals of spiritual
work. The revival is needed to reclaim the
backsliders, convert the impenitent heal
dissensions in the church and help raise
the finances. They result from the power
of God working in the laws Of cause and
effect through the channels of human in
1uence. They may be promoted by per-
sonal effort, by sacrifice and by prayer. At
the close OF the address DR.. Brodbeck in
vited the congregation to the altar for a
conservation service, to which large num-
Der stayed.
In the closing moments the convention
hymn was sung to the tune Beulah Land "
After the benediction the young people said
their good-byes and expressed their salts
faction with the convention. In attend
ance, in enthusiasm, in the quality of the
addresses, in the character Of the music,
this was the most successful convention the
League has ever held in the state.
A dainty souvenir programme had been
prepared by the local chapter, giving cuts

A large quantity of literature and books

CUT OFF HER HEAD.

Shocking Murder Committed BY a
Dental Student and an AccOmPIice.
CINCINNATI, Feb. 6.-Last Saturday
morning the headless body of an un-
known young woman was found in a field
in the Kentucky highlands about half
mile south of Fort Thomas. The mur-
derer and murdered were nameless.
There was no clue but a shoe, corset
and a woman's check dress. Bloodhounds
called into requisition gave contradictory
stories. One went to the COvington
reservoir, and others went to a point in
the road and stopped
The reservoir was drained and the
head was not found. The shoe was
traced to firm in Greencastle, Ind. A
hundred clues were worked to their end
without result. The dead body in Gov
ington was identified as that of woman
who was afterwards found to be alive
The dress and shoe were the only clues
left.
