HORRIBLE TORTURE OF CHRISTIANS
WHAT ROMAN CATHOLIC CONVERTS HAVE

Baltimore July 10 (speciaD-The Rev DR..
Magnien. president of st. Mary's Seminary, of
this city, and director-general of the Associa-

these victims; to force them into confession of
being incendiaries he scourged and tortured
them, and suspended them by the thumbs and

death sentence. A stroke of the sword, severing
his head from his body, placed him in the ranks
of the martyrs.
Monsgnor Raynaud Vicar Apostolic of Tche-
Kiang, writes:
In Tai-Tcheou we have lost fourteen chapels
that remind US Of the fourteen stations along the
way Of the Cross. More than fourteen hundred
families have been robbed
young Christian has been horribly mutt
lated. The eXecutioners tore out his eyes and
cut the muscles of his feet He lives only to
suffer. Another poor, sick man, unable to flee,
was brutally taken from his bed, dragged to the
mountain and buried alive. To deprive him of
any possible assistance, the horrible precaution
was taken of closing his mouth eyes and ears
with mud.
The last victim of hatred was a catechist
thirty years old. Three different times he es-
capped death One day, however he was sold by
a miserable wretch; covered with blows he won
the crown Of martyrdOm by a stroke of the
sword. These painful incidents should discour-
age our benefactors no more than they do the
missionaries. China is passing through a crisis
in her history, and we see beyond through tears
and trials, the triumph of the Cross.

ORGANIZATION TO END.
AMERICAN AND FOREIGN BIBLE
SOCIETx
Some Members Want to Keep Up Con-
flict American Bible Union.

New York, May 23.-It would appear
from statements made by members or
the American and Foreign Bible society
that that organization is to end its eX-
istelice within few months. These
members make up that part of the soci-
ETY. which represents the original or
ganizaton before it took under it's name
the American Bible union. 1t is Well
known that before these two organiZa-
tions We're united they had been bitter
rivals and that after their consolidation
some of their members wanted to keep
up the conflict.
The Rev. Geo. w. Herver, who repre-
sents the original American and Foreign
Bible Society faction said last night:
'The time has come for disbarment
During the last ten years or more the
American Bible Union faction has been
in control of the society. 1t has appro-
priated money in direct variance with the
constitution and still insists on continu-
ing in this course. According to the
constitution of the society the money
contributed should be expended in dis
trbuting the Bible among the heather
and thus aid the work of the missionaries
instead the controlling element in the
board has been spending money in get
ting out another English version OF the
Bible. Another point of illegaHty in the
present administration of the work of the
| society lies in the fact that it turns it's
! money over to the publication house of
the church in Philadelphia. A commit
