Hen-TunR. Anti-FOreiGn Leader,
Gets Three-Eyed Peacock Feather.
Pekin, March 20.-The ascendancy Of
the anti-foreign party is becoming
more pronounced daily. The dowager
empress appears unable to sufficiently
reward the officials who exhibit mark
ed hostility to everything not Chinese.
Hen-Tung. probably the most bitterly
anti-foreign official of the empire, has
been decorated with the three-eyed
peacock feather, which had not been
conferred for so years. The notorious
Ii Peng Hing, who was dismissed from
the governOrship OF Shan-Tung on
German demand, has been advanced to
the first rank, and the former gov
ernor Of Shan-Tung, Yuh Sien. has
been appointed governor Of the Shan
81 district, a snub to the powers in
terested and likely to prejudice Brit
ish interests in the province, as the
powers believe his maladministration
is the cause of the present state of af-
fairs in Shan-Tung.

has been trying to edit for a week,

by Mr.. Popenoe, the majority stock
holder, of continuing The Capital as a
religious daily, on lines similar to
those laid down by Mr. Sheldon, would
not be carried out.

list. destroy our advertising patronage
and involve us in endless litigation
with the advertisers" he declared. "I'll
appeal to the courts, If necessary"
Sheldon's Sunday edition was issued
at 5 o'clock Saturday evening. Every
article except brief editorial is about
the Bible. One advertisement slipped
in which annoyed Mr.. Sheldon. 1t was
display advertisement of a local
pillow factory, and read: "Stfr the sub

Sandusky, o., March 2O.-Some time
Saturday night Mrs. Leonard Wagner
killed her husband and then shot her
self. The double tragedy occurred at
the Wagner Home, about three miles

it until last evening, when neighbors
entered the house and found the dead

couple had frequently quarreled on
that account.
