Arrangements have been completed for
a National Burying- ground for the
Chinese Fer some time past the Ce-
lestials in this country have had agents
in several of the big cities searching for
q suitable place where they could lay
at rest bodies of their countrymen with
the religious observances practiced in
the Chinese Empire.
On April 9th they We're forbidden to
observe the customary services over the
graves of their departed relatives and
friends. The knowledge that other ma
tionalities and creeds had their own
cemeteries and conducted ceremonies
peculiar to their beliefs prompted the
leading Chinese officials of this country
to purchase land to give them a ma
tionaI burying ground, upon which
they could erect a josshouse and con-
duct their own funeral services without
interfering with municipal or cemetery
authorities. A meeting of the leading

SAN FRANCISCO, July 11.-Colonel
Charles +. CrOcker, Vice President OF
the Southern Pacific, who was stricken
with paralysis at his suburban home at

San Mateo from the East on a special
train. He was driven to Uplands. and
went at once to the sick chamber Mr..
Croker spoke to the Colonel, but the
latter did not reply. There was a dazed
look in his eyes, but William thought
his brother knew him. After taking a
careful look at the sick man he left the
room for the day.
The patient was undisturbed during
the remainder of the day. He was
given nourishment several times dur
ing the day, and took it readily. To-
ward evening he seemed to be slightly
refreshed. Drs. Gardener and CHS
more then took up the watch for the
night.
After w. H. Crocker left the bedside
Of his brother, he said: Il have just
left the bedside of my brother, and 1

his relatives much alarm. They tell

England Will Have to Depend
Upon This Country.

NEW YORK, July 10.-It is alto
gether likely that the surplus stock of
hops in the United States. held prin-
cipally by brewers, Will have some Sc
rious inroads made into it this year for
export TO England, because of the
smallness of the crop there, the acre
age being the smallest known in twenty
years and with an average yield of 800
weight per acre. which is over the av-
erage, the product viii probably reach
100000 hundred weight, and the
chances are that will be reduced by the
ravages of vermin, which are reported
plentiful in all the hop gardens of
England. If the insect pest holds un-
til towering time, the yield will be still
further curtailed.
Louis Searles one of the large deal
ers, says that even with the most IA
vorable crop reports in England that
can possibly be made, there must be
large impOrtations from the continent
and the United States, and the brewers
will be obliged to use up considerable Of
their surplus Of two years ago.

SALT LAKE, July 11--Early this
morning the body of John Egan, form
er owner of the White House bar, was
found in the alley in the rear of the
Walker House. An examination
showed a wound along the nose and
middle of the forehead. The body
had evidently been dragged from the
rear of some of the buildings fronting
on Main street A thorough investi-
cation is being made.
During the day three arrests in con-
nection with the murder were made. j.
Mcmillan, night bartender in Quintan
& Osborne's saloon; 3. SeWeks and c.
NJ. Phillips were taken in charge by
the police, and are being held, pending
further developments in the case. The
two latter were frequenters Of the sa-
loon, and the police believe these men
know more about the case than they
are willing to tell.
The general theory is that Egan was
assaulted in the abovenamed saloon,
and was removed to the alley where
the body was found.
An inquest will be held tomorrow.

Schroeder spoke on what they consid-
cred the circumscribed position of this
Christian army. Rev. DR.. Buehler
said: We claim that it is an usurpa-
ton of what belongs to all, when a
separate and distinctive body within
the church abrogates to itself duty
and privilege common to all. We claim
that it is unbrotheriy to their fellow
Christians to thus segregate them
selves, as If other Christians We're less
bound, willing and sincere in the same
direction"
AS second reason it is urged that
the stated object of these societies
seemed TO imply a misconception of the
true nature of the Christian.
A sweeping objection was made to the
material aims of the Christian Endeav-
orers. The advocacy of woman suf-
frage and total abstinence We're depre-
Gated, and held to be really objection

WATTERS0h REPLIES TO REAGAN.
RELATIVE TO PAYMENT OF IN
DEMNITY FOR SLAVES.
Presents Documentary Evidence to
Show That Such Course Was
Contemplated by Lincoln.

LOUISVILLE, July 11.-Henry Wat
terson publishes in the Courier
Journal an elaborate replv to Judge
Reagan's denial that Mr.. Lincoln con-
templated payment of indemnity for
slaves under certain conditions, and
that he said to Mr. Stephens, Let me
write Union at the top o. this page,
and you may write below it whatever
you please
Mr.. Watterson sustains his position by
profuse documentary evidence. He
quotes Mr.. Stephens account of the
Fortress Monroe conference, and pro-
Cuces a joint resolution proposed by Mr..
lincoln to prove that indemnity for the
slaves was contemplated. lie cites sew
eTal credible witnesses, all of whom de-
clare, as Mr.. Watterson declares him
self, that Mr.. Stephens did make the
statement ascribed to him.
In closing Mr.. Watterson says: 'Mr.
Watterson regrets that Judge Reagan
has seen fit to Tecur to a question he
thought was settled. He was surprised
by the passage in Judge Reagans
Nashville address, but he concluded not
TO revive an issue, which, aside from
seeming ungracious to a fraternal occa-
sion, cannot, in the nature of the case,
be very agreeable as a retrospection or
profitable as q subject of present dis
cussion. The insistence of Judge Rea-
san in keeping it alive and urging a re-
view which is contradicted by the best
and amplest testimony leaves him no
other alternative. He is just as free
from any just accusation Of a purpose
to misreport any Southern aspect of the
history as was the Judge himself, but
he has no personal motive, as Judge
Reagan has for making a special plea
in behalf of any particular view.
1T is a fact that within less than
sixty days of is total collopse the Con-
federacy might have made honorable
and advantageous terms of peace on the
basis of the restoration of the Union,
and it is q fact that Commissioners sent
to Fortress Monroe refused to treat on
other terms than the recognition of the
independence of the Confederacy.
Whether is was best to let the col
LAPSE come is another matter. That it
was coming was in pointof factimminent
and well known in official circles at
Richmond That within less than sixty
days it actually came is history. Whe-
ther it was best for the Confederate
President and authorities to take time
py the forelock, and, with a full know
ledge of the impending disaster before
their eyes, seek some other settlement
than that of the impossible recognition
o fthe independence of Confederacy, or
to leave the bottom literally to drop
from the tub, the Confederate armies at
the mercies of Grant and Sherman, the
Confederate Capitol abandoned, and the
Confederate Government in flight be-
longs to chapter of speculative phil
osophy, which we do not care at pres
ent to explore.
