Charles A. Dana was the ablest editor ever
developed by American journalism. Horace
Greeley was more pungent and telling in his
political articles, and Henry Watterson is
more brilliant, but Charles A. Dana was the
strongest editorial writer this country has
ever produced. Col. A. X. Mcclure.

this green and quiet plain what tragedies
have been enacted-when blooming vouth
and hoary age. manhood and womanhoo,i
in the flower of life, husbands and wives
fathers and daughters, persisted together,
At six O clock in the morning of an execu-
ton day all the bells in Seville's hundred
churches began to toll, and Immediately
a procession moved from the dismal for
tress of the Inquisition. First came a
body of troops; then the condemned. each
attended by two familiars of the Holy
Office; and those who were to suffer at the
stake by two friars in addition, who
ceaselessly exhorted the hereto to adiure
his errors. Those who were admitted to
penance wore black gowns; while the
martyrs were enveloped in loose sacks of
yellow cloth, the san Benito without
blessing), their heads surmounted by conf
cal caps of paste board, both sack and
cap painted to represent flames and devils
dancing in them. Next came the magis-
trates of the city, the judges of the court,
the ecclesiastical orders and the mobiles of
the land on horseback. These were fol-
lowed by the members of the dread tribu-
crimson damask, on which were displayed
the arms of the lnquisition of its found
ers, Sixtus Y and Ferdinand the Catholic.
Then came a numerous train of familiars,
well mounted; among them many gentry,
! who were proud to act as body guard of
the Holy Office. The Inquisitors took
ed to the scaffold, the king and queen
settled themselves comfortably in the
royal gallery surrounded by brilliant
company, and then lengthy sermon, on
the beauties of the Faith, was preached
by the Bishop; after which the grand
Inquisitor administered solemn oath to
all present to maintain the purity of the
faith and to give information against any
one who should depart from it. Then all
eyes turned greedily upon the victims,
who stood with ropes around their necks,
ready to furnish a climax to the show
Many of them had been immured for
months in the dungeons of the Inquisi-
ton and their haggard faces, emaciated
forms, and often distorted limbs told a
terrible story of past sufferings. The
process against them was read, and the
grand Inquisitor delivered them over to
the burning, beseeching the executioners
to ''treat them with all Kindness and
mercy"
Among those who thus died at Seville
were many gentle women. Two daugh-
tiers of the nobility, Maria and Juana de
Bohorques, persisted in the same year, on
suspicion of heresy alone. Both were
first put to the rack, which was applied
with such violence that the cords cut to
the bones of their arms and legs. Hap
PLY, all those horrors are far in the past
even farther off than the days when So
called witches were burned in Christian
America.

LONDON, June s.-Tha Pekin cor
respondent of the Times in a dispatch

The Chinese government cannot be ex-
onerated from the charge of completely
In these murders. From the beginning
lts action will bear only one interpreta'
tion, namely that of approval of the
anti foreign movement which has had
these results.
The government has delegated as
commissioner to Cho Rau and Pau
Ting Eau, the chief centres of the
BOXERS" to investigate and report,
notorious anti-foreign official, who is
known to be In sympathy with the
"Boxcrs" and who was the director Of

The Pelsin correspondent Of the

"The news that General Nelh's for

"Boxers," who were destroying the
railway near Tien TsIn. was favorably
received, MS giving some ground for
hope that the government Swould,
change Its policy.
"Now arrives the intelligence that

action has been condemned. The Tsung

CONVICTION, KY, June S.-wIillam
Burns and Thomas Lyons, alias ThomaH
Reynolds. ure in jail here, charged with
the murder of un unknown man, and
the fatal shooting OF a patrolman OF
the covlngton police. William Burns
says that he WIS formerly from st.
Louis and that he once worked on a
newspaper in that city. Lyons, alias
Reynolds, says that Buffalo, N. Y, is
his native place and that he has been a
peddler, Burns Gays that he himself
did the shooting and all the killing, and
that Lyons was Unly along with him.
The start OF the affair was near Lud-
low, KY, on the Ohio river bank. These
two men and the unknown man In some
unexplained way, happened together &C
that point. The two prisoners say that
they gave the unknown man money to
buy a keg OF beer that he came back
and refused to divide, whereupon Burns
killed him, putting two bullets through
his chest The police ut Ludlow tele-
phoned the Covlngton police that tho
murderers had jumped on street car
They were Intercepted near tho suspen-
sion bridge by Lieutenant B. schwein-
fuss and Patrolman Thomas McQueTy.
The murderers ran onto tho Coving-
ton and Cincinnati suspension bridge
and the officers gave chase, both ofti@
GERS and fugitiVes shooting as they
ran. Patrolman McQuery was shot
through the chest, and is lying at the
point OF death at the Cincinnati hos
pltal. Burns was shot through the
calf OF the leg, and bystnnder.
Thomas McCue, received flesh wouno
In the leg.
Wounded as he was with revolver
in each hand, Burns jumped from the
suspension bridge, holding his revol-
vers high in the mir, and going down
like a professional brldge-Jumper into
the water. ninety feet below. Meantime
Lieut.. Schwelnfuss turned Lyons over
to some patrolmen, ran down on the
Ohio side and boarded some coal bnrBea
toward which Burns was swimming
Burns cume to the barges with the piss
tolls in his hands and snapped one on
them at the lieutenant, but the cnrt@
ridge failed to explode, and he was Inns
medIately arrested.
This story Of tragedy md thrilling ins
cldCnts is still II mystery, on account
of the reticence OF thu prisoners and the
inability OF the police to trace their
Identity. The unknown I,lan that was
killed had a coarse face, and showed
every indication Of belonging to low
class. Burns looks like an athleted
and appears to be n man Of superior in@
teillgence. Lyons looks like an ordis
nary tramp.

declare their first object to be the an'
