UNLUcKY CHINESE EDITORS.
The Tyrannicnl Empress Has Sup
pressed All Newspapers I'm
the Empire.

Empress TIE Hsi has suppressed ali
newspapers in China. There were Sc.
though of these those in foreign hands
cannot be stopped. The imperial de-
cree of October was as follows: "As
newspapers only serve to excite the
masses to subvert the present order OF
things. and the editors concerned come
from the dregs of the literary classes,
TO good can be served by the continual
tion of such dangerous instruments,
and we hereby command the ent.e
suppression and sealing up of all news
papers published within the empire.
while the editors connected with them
are to be arrested and punished with
the utmost severity of the law"
Now, with four or five exceptions,
these papers have been very well con-
Quoted, and certainly in some cases
Chinese editors may take rank among
quite the best people in China" One,
who was merely the editor of local
paper till then had been tutor to the
children of Chang Chih Tung, the one
incorruptible riceroy. Yet these men,
and for no other offense than that of
being newspaper editors, are TO be pun
ished with the utmost severity of the
law, and this by the arbitrary will of
a woman, hated throughout China, who
has summarily deposed her adopted son
and made herself ruler in his place.

Patriotism I'm France and Germany

The Strasburg Post relates the fol-
lowing as an instance of what some peo-
Pile at the end of the nineteenth cen
tury call 'patriotism:" A German in
ventor had entered into negotiations
with a French firm, who stole his inven-
lion. He asked French lawyer to de-
rend him, but the lawyer informed him
that no French judge could be found
who would give decision favorable to
a German. "Frenchmen of the Roche
fort type would probably consider this
lawyer bad patriot. He should have
taken the Germans case, lost 1t and
bled him nicely in the costs"

VIENNA'S CENSORS.
Music Calculated to Excite the Pas
sions, So 1t In Now Under
the Ran.

In Austria there is press as we'll as
literary censorship, but it is more
particularly to the glaring anomalies
of the literary censorship that refer.
says writer in the London Post.
German writer's consider the prohibit
tion of the Vienna censor as a kind cf
letter of recommenda ton, if not as a
certain sign of immortality. The cen
sor, in fact, has never prohibited book
which has not some striking literary
merit.
The recent structures of the censor,
his prohibitory aggressiveness in al
most every different department of lit
erary and artistic life, have irritated
the public mind beyond endurance.
The censor seems to have started
from the standpoint that far too
little is confiscated. All kinds of new
interpretations of the poets have been
found, and to-day poetry is the most
confiscable commodity in Austria.
Next to it comes the printers art.
Sculpture has fallen an easy prey, and
now it is the turn of music. The censor
reasons as follows:
Melodies in themselves are in no way
Illegal. 1t is, however, otherwise with
the time or rhythm. 1t is possible TO
excite body of people by joining in or
even merely hearing song having
rhythm corresponding to the prevail
ing feeling. Much. too, depends on
the amount of emphasis impaired to
the song. When thousands sing pop
ular air the effect is quite otherwise
than when it is sung by one person.
Music is further calculated to excite
the passions. and therefore is capable
of taking an immoral character"

PittuBurEh Man VINO says he TouChsd

San DominEo.
James c. Jameson, Of Pittsburgh,

James g. Jameson, OF Pittsburgh,
Pa, who has been 3 traveller. says:
1T is amusing 10 read the many
stories concerning the removal Of the
bones Of Columbus from Havana TO
Spain. Newspapers have said that the
Spanish authorities have packed them
up in a case and have secretly removed
them 10 Cadiz. Such cannot be true.
Il 1878 I had the pleasure, if such it
could be called, Of having the bones
Of Columbus IN ny own hands.
81 was in San Domingo, on the San
Domingo island, and had gone there on
a trading expedition with a cargo OF
goods. While there 1 was the guest Of
Paul Jones, at the time United States
consul at that place. A force Of work
men were engaged in remOdeling the
ancient cathedral, which had been
built some 400 years before One day
one Of the men engaged in excavating
struck leaden box with his pick just
under the altar. The box was about
two feet in length, ten inches wide and
ten inches tall. The box was covered
with inscriptions, but time and the
earth had worked such changes that
they could not be deciphered.
The box was opened, and in il was
found a handful Of dust, a part of q
human skull, and a number Of bones.
A silver plate, which had been fas-
tened on the underside Of the lid Of the
box, was found among the bones, the
screws with which II had been fastened
having given way with decay. There
were a number Of pieces Of jewelry and
trinkets in the box. On the plate was
the inscription: &C. Colon" Spanish
for Christopher Columbus. No one but
the priests Of the parish saw the con-
tents Of the box AT that time.
"a short time later an Italian man-Of-
war arrived al San Domingo, and as
Columbus had been born in Italy, they
asked to see the remains. The priv
iege was accorded, and, through United
States Consul Paul Jones, I was per
mitted to be Of the party, and 1 was
among the first 10 pick up all that re-
NAMED of Christopher Columbus. Con-
sui Jones also held the bones.
After the impressive ceremony the
remains were taken IN charge by the
priests and placed again in hiding. You
know that Columbus and his son Don
Diego both died in Spain; and it was
about 80 years after the formers death
That the remains Of both were taken TO
San Domingo and placed in the cathe-
draI- When the Spanish withdrew from
The island about 100 years ago, they
wanted to take the bones Of Columbus
with them. The monk in charge did
not want to give them up, and II is now
known that he gave the Spanish the
remains. not Of Christopher Columbus,
but those Of his son Diego. The bones
Of Columbus were taken up and secret
" hidden by the monks, and they are
in san Domingo at this day.''-N. Y.
