ABUSE THE MISSIONARIES S
Since Empress Has Come Into Power
in China OutraEes Have
Increased.

NEW YORK, Nov. 15.-The American
Bible society is in receipt of reports from
its agents in China, which state that as the
result of the palace revolution laet year,
whereby the empress dowager assumed
power and the emperor was practically i'm
prisoned, prosecutions of missionaries are
occurring in various parts of China, es-
pecially in the far interior. In one instance
the viceroy was forced to telegraph for
troops.
The Chinese society known as THE Box
ers" is said to be provoking agitations and
antagonisms. Two colporteurs of the Bible
society visited Peh Shut Chang, in the
province of Kansuh, and were invited to
circulate bibles from Chinese temple. AS
soon as they were inside of the temple the
gates were closed and the colporteurs were
set upon and terribly beaten with long, thick
sticks Of firewood.
The men were tied hands and feet to the
pillars of the temple and spat upon, the
people shouting, I'VE have tied you up as
they did your Jesus on the cross" They
shout, This is what your God can do for
you; call upon your Jesus to come and save
you.'
1t is understood that the agents of the
Bible society will endeavor to obtain redress
from the mandarns of Lo-Yang- Hsen, the
city in the province of Van sub, which rules
the town where this disturbance took place.

COURTS ARE TAKING A PART
Election Troubles in Kentucky Being
Complicated by Orders from
Different Tribunals.

LOUISVILLE, KY Nov. 15.-Judge Ster-
ling B. Toney, whose mandamus, issued on
election day, for the admission of Honest
Election league inspectors to polling places
caused the principal excitement of that day
and the alleged disregard of which caused
Governor Bradley to order troops to the
polling places on the evening of November
7, was today restrained by the appellate
court at Frankfort from taking any fur
ther action in the contempt cases growing
out OF the order.
Yesterday thirtyfive alleged violators OF
Judge Toney's order were bound over by
him in the sum of $500. Today he was pro-
ceeding with the cases and had sentenced
one prisoner to thirty hours in Jail, when
the order of the appellate court was re-
ceived. The official count today has brought
no change in the estimates of the vote

NEW SCHEME TO GET OFFICE
Defeated POpulfst Candidate Says
Legislative District Should he
Divided in His Favor.

SIOUX CITY, Ia. Nov. 15.-(Special Tele-
gram.)-A election contest has been begun
in the Ida Monona legislative district which
promises to become bitter fight before it is
finished. Nathan Lindsey of Onawa in
Monona county was the middle-of-thero
populist candidate for representative, but
was defeated in the election by w. ]. Scott
of Ida Grove. Now Lindsey has appeared in
the district court with an application for a
temporary writ OF injunction and for a writ
of mandamus compelling the Board of Super
visors of Monona county to certify to his
election Lindsey bases his contention on
the ground that Monona county has suf1i-
cient population to entitle it to representa-
tive of its own, and that it should not be
made a part of the Ida district. He further
alleges that the law under which the legis-
lative apportionment was made is unconsti-
tutional. The populist was the only candi-
date on any ticket for representative who re-
sides in Monona county and it is his conten-
tion that as Monona county is entitled to
separate representation it would be illegal
for it to be represented by Scott, who lives
in Ida county. The court has granted
temporary writ of injunction preventing the
Board of Supervisors of Monona county from
certifying to the election of Scott until the
final adjudication of the suit.

and it was learned they were put on the train
at point ten miles out of Memphis. A
