KIDNAPPED BY CHINESE.
Queer Proceeding on the Part OF
China's Minister to London.

China Minister to London.
LONDON. Oct. "a sensational story of
the Globe regarding the Imprisonment OF a
Chinaman in the Chinese legation is con-
firmed, though there are various reports
of the manner in which the arrest was

selor of the Chinese legation, has come out
in an interview protesting strongly against
the statement that the man was captured

COERCION.
Chairman Hanna Takes Note of Pop
Ocratic Charges.

Ocratfc CAaFSeS.
CHICAGO, Oct. 22.-Chairman Hanna. of
the Republican national committee, has
given to the press the following announce
ment:
1.-The manifest policy of the silver Demo
cratic managers in this campaign, as set
forth by their candidate for President
shortly after his nomination, has been to
create the belief in the minds of the work
ngmen that they were being coerced by
their employers to vote contrary to their
convictions. The chairman Of the national
committee, James K. Jones has emphasized
this policy in a proclamation in which he
boldly charges the employing classes of the
country with having entered into a con-
spiracy to coerce their employees into vot-
ing contrary to their opinions.
This is q very grave charge. and it has
now assumed a form that j~ustifies giving it
some attention. To coerce a. voter is q
crime gaainst the laws of the land, and If
Messrs. Bryan and Jones know of coercion
they make themselves accomplices of the
criminals by not informing the proper au-
thorities and taking steps for prosecution.
While we consider the charge absurd. and
believe that American workingmen and en-
ployers are too independent and patriotic
either to be coerced. or to coerce, the Re-
publican national committee will do any
thing in its power to protect workingmen
in the free and exercise of
their rights as citizens, and will cheerfully
unite with the national Democratic cop
mittee in any movement having that object
Coercion of voters is not only an un-
American, unpaulotlc ana deSpotlc uSurpd-
ton of the rights of a free citizen. but 1t is
a wrong that will inevitably recoil pom its
perpetrators. 1t is an arbitrary use of
power that is in direct conflict with the
principles of our government. The civil
compact of the majority rule means free
majorities. for whose protection all consti-
tutional powers should be used. and with
out which a political victory would be bar
rem of results worthy of a great party.
This committee will spare no pains to Sc
cure to every citizen. whatever his politics,
the right to cast his vote according to his
convictions and to have his vote honestly
counted

Are the Rrxanftes for saIee

WASHINGTON, Oct. Ex-senator Butler,
as chairman of the Populist national COM
mittee, has issued a circular in which he
claims to rave Information that it IS the in
tention Of the Republican managers to at
tempt to control the approaching election
by the use of money, and urging the friends
of Bryan to be on their guard against all
efforts at either purchase, coercion or in
timidation of voters. My advice to the
supporters of Bryan he says, lis TO keep
every eye open to these games. Let them
place cool, game men on guard at every
precinct sharp nough to expose these
schemes and to use the best and most
legitimate methods to Illustrate them. I
believe that the penitentiaries will be the
proper place for all scoundrels who try to
prevent an honest election. Coercion, in
timidation and every other un-American
means has been used SO far, but it will
become a more serious matter to make thu
ballot box itself the scene of r~ottenness

by Mr.. Reed, two preachers, one for the
gay, one for the grave. Mr.. Riley recited
of his most popular pieces, among
them being selections from Annals of the
Poor. Hoosier verse, Rhymes of Childhood
and character sketches. 1t is s~uperfluous
to add that each number had an encore
which would take only another to bring
rest to the speaker. Eugene f. Ware read
several selections from Rhymes of Iron
quill. one of his own books. Each was re-
ceived with favor and he, too, was obliged
to acknowledge the encores.

he met the same enthusiasm. 1t meant,

that the proposal OF fl zee silver at the ratio

ANTE-ELECTION PROMISE. q
A Candidate Offers to Give Half His
Official SaInry for Religions Work.

NORFOLK. Va, Oct. 22.-One of the most
novel developments of the campaign is the
action of Mr.. A. B. Griffin, the independent
sound-money Democratic candidate for
Congress from this district, who wrote let
tiers to-day TO the Norfolk and Portsmouth
and the Newport News Young Mems Chris
tan Associations. and also to the colored
Y. NJ. c. a. of Norfolk. pledging himself
to give, if elected to Congress. $500 of his
salary at the expiration of the first year
and another $500 of his salary at the expira-
ton of the second, to be equally divided
among the four associations. In the same
letters he also pledged himself. at the eX-
piration of his term TO give $1,000 of his sal
airy. to be equally divided among all the
white and colored churches of the district.
and 70 give also at the expiration of his
term 81 coo. TO be equally divided between
the Portsmouth hospital fund and the Nor
fox Retreat Tor the Sick, thus giving up
half OF his salary for Christian and char
liable purposes.
Mr.. Griffin says he intends to write i'm
mediately to all the churches throughout
the district. calling their attention to the
pledge. hoping in this manner to secure
the support of the Christian people"

Notes of the Stage.

The great Studebaker Building. on Michigan
avenue in Chicago. next to the Auditorium Build
ing. may be converted into a theater. Mr.. w. f.
Studehaker had a conference with AL Hayman
and Charles Frohman at Chicago last week and
the matter was thoroughly discussed. 1t is un-
of making the change in their building, but the
theatrical men rather discourage the project on
the grounds that Chicago is overrun with big
theaters as ii Is.
Strange as 1t may seem Henry e. Abbey. who
died in New York last week and who was one
Of the managerial kings in the theatrical bust
ness, had little taste for and less knowledge of
music, yet he established grand opera on an
artistic eminence never before achieved in this
or any other country. He had small sympathy
with the exact drama. yet he was the chief
patron and best friend of modern dramatic art.
On one occasion Hillary Bell asked him which
artist among all those he had imported from
Europe had given a performance most to his
liking He remained silent for several minutes
and then said: Il have never enjoyed any per-

man opera season at the Metropolitan was an.
exp easiye venture. There was Something mag
nincent. about Abbey. He paid unheard-of sal
aries. He assembled famous artists together IN
one organization wholly regardless of expense.
Nothing was too good for the public, nothing
could be too complete for an enterprise bearing
his name. He spent s4o,0 coo in producing An
tony and Cleopatra for Mrs. Potter and Kvrle
Bellew. He formulated a plan to give comic
opera on a scale commensurate with his pro-
auctions of grand opera. He paid $I.500 a week
TO Lillian Russell and engaged the Ivceum
Theater, London, for her debut. There was the
little rift within the lutte that by and by made
all his music mute, and, ever widening, slowly
sileneed all. In his production OF The Queen OF
Brilliants' Abbey lost $50, 200, and il was said
that between this opera and The Tzigana'' the
Lillian Russell company cost him Sla1, COO. The
figures are incredible. But, even IL the venture
was only half 80 expensive as 1t was stated TO
be, there Is no doubt that this speculation was
the enc blow from which our impressarlo could
not recover. IL was the beginning OF the end.
