.FIENDlSH TORTURE
OF A PRELATE

LONDON, July q. 4:So a. m.-The
Shanghai correspondent of the Daily Mail,
describing the massacre at Mukden, says:
"The Bishop had armed 200 converts to
defend the cathedral and body of Chi
nese troops had been sent to defend the
converts. but the soldiers were leagued
with the Boxers. While the Christians
were holding a service the signal was
given and soldiers and Boxers surround
ed and set fire to the church, putting the
escaping worshipers to the sword. The
Bishop was captured and taken to the
viceroy's yamen, where he was diaboli-
cally tortured and decapitated. His head
now hangs in front of the yamen."
The Daily Mail explains that the Chi
nese employee Of the British Legation,
who, according to it's advices yesterday,
escaped from Picking to Niuchwang and
reported there that when he left Picking
NEST of the members of the Legations
were dead and the condition of the 9TH
ers was hopeless, did not actually leave
Picking until July s, and this goes to
show, IL his statement is to be relied up
on, that general massacre had not oc-
Cured on July 6, as has been reported.
| All the Powers appear to have received
but in the absence of definite news re-
garding the fate of the Ministers and of
lany reliable indications of the real origin
of the appeal 1t seems that Lord Sails
bury, the Premier, considered it was not
even necessary to publish the fact thai
tho appeal had been received or to dc
lanyth:ng beyond formally acknowledging
lit. with perhaps an intimation that moth
ling could be done until news from Picking
had arrived.
II 1t could be ascertained beyond doub
that the reports of a massacre at Pekine
Iwere unfounded (and there is disposition
there to believe that the Ministers may
latter all, be held as hostages) Lord Sails
lbury's policy would probably incline more
toward the Cancellation attributed t.
Washington than to the revenge attribu
ted to Berlin. But, while there is no ces
lsation of the deluge of rumors. it IL be,
lginning to be believed at Shanghai Can
lton and other points that the Viceroy,
are as completely in the dark as to at
fairs In Picking as the Europeans them
selves.
Meanwhile the doings of Ii Hung Chan,
are regarded with ever-increasing suspi
lcion, while the situation In the southern
lprovince daily grows worse.
II is reported from Tien-Tsin that tn,
Chinese forces are concentrating at tn
Village of Getsang, ten miles north O
iTien-Tsin, where, it Is said large quaint
ties CT rice are stored. The Russian ant

MAcRUM is IN BAD DOOR.
The State Depart menu Utterly Discredkb
RepOrts That the Ex-COnSui's Mall
Was Censored.


Washington, Feb. 1s.-Ex-Consu
Macrum failed to make any complaint
10 the state department that his mai
had been tempered with by the British
censor. Had the state department
known of any such action by o
British officer 1t would have protested
at once. Secretary Hay has had d
thorough examination made of all the
received from Ma
crum. The purpose was to discover
whether the consul had conveyed any
intimation that his official envelopes
from the department of state had
been tempered with. The eXamina'
ton was completed yesterday. II
failed to reveal anything which would
go to show that Mr.. Macrum had been
subjected to the indignity of which
he complained in his statement to the
public.
1t is inconceivable to the depart
ment that what Macrum alleges
could have gone on without some
word of information from him. Some
of his assertions and insinuations are
shown by the department records to
be false. Respecting the others, moth
ing can be found of confirmatory
character. With the investigation
ended, Che Macrum incident is consid'
cred closed. Macrum was appointed
at the request of warm personal
friends of the president. Not one OF
these sponsors has come forward In
defense of the young man.

TESTS ON ANIMALS.
Cows. Hoses, Sheep aud Hogs to he Con-
fined In Alright Cells aud Given
Certain Foods.

Washington, Feb. 1o.-Some of the
most remarkable experiments ever
contrived in the interest of science
will be commenced in few weeks by
Uncle Sans bureau of animal indus
tries. Cows, horses, sheep and hogs,
and later other animals are to be con-
fined day and night for periods of q
week or more in a huge alright cell.
They will be required to breathe a
specially prepared atmosphere, to
eat specially prepared foods, and in
some instances to perform various
prescribed muscular tasks. These
tests, never before attempted, will be
made in the interests of the eater,
the housekeeper, the farmer, the
tfairyman, the grocer, the meat
packer, the horse racer, the horse
breeder-in fact, of almost every in
dividual benefited by the various ami
NAL industries. They will furnish
the first accurate experimental knOwl-
edge as to the proper foods to be
given to cows for the production of
the richest milk, cream, butter and
cheese; to cattle, sheep and hogs for
the production of the most fat or
most nutritious lean; to horses for
the production of the greatest work
ing power or the highest speed.

TO FoRTIFY THE CANAL.
Republicans of tho House Committee Re-
port ON the Treaty In Direct An
tagOniam TO the President.

Washington, Feb. 19.-The house
cnmmittee on interstate and foreign
commerce has reported the bill for
the construction and ownership Of
the Nicaragua canal and for its forti-
tications. Accompanying the bill is
the committees report prepared by
Chairman Hepburn, in which he Wig
orously discusses the right of the
United States to own and defend the
canal. Mr.. Hepburn declares that the
Glayton-Bulwer treaty is dead. The
administration has taken the ground
that the Clayton-Bulwer treaty is
still effective. 1t was solely on this
account that Secretary Hay nego-
tated the treaty with Lord Paunce-
fote that is now before the senate.
This treaty provides for the abroga-
ton of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty
with the exception of the article that
made the canal neutral and forbade
it's fertilization. The administration
has been criticised for revising this
provision of the old treaty, but so far
has shown no sign of retreating from
the position assumed. The report of
the committee, therefore, although it
is made by republicans, is in direct
antagonism to the administration.
Even Senator Morgan, the father of
the fortified canal project in the sell
ate, has supported the Hay treaty, so
that the house committees action is
the more surprising.

Chicago, Feb. ia special to the
Chronicle from San Francisco says:
William Macdonald, young Cali
fornia basso, who has been singing
with the Bostonions for two seasons,

consulted a dentist here, who advised
extraction. The dentist used some
drug to- deaden the pain, which
paralyzed the nerves CT the throat
and soon after the tooth was drawn
his mouth closed and he has not been
able to open it since. even enough to
admit spoon. The doctors fear gan

nlin for Soma Time. Telia OF cios-
ing 500 Grog shops.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Feb. 1s.-Fred
L. Gregory, late OF company +, Thir-

recent statement OF Chaplain Frank
NJ. Wells, of the First Tennessee reg
iment. that since American occupa-
ton there are 400 more saloons in
Manila than under Spanish rule.
Gregory's regiment was detailed for
police duty in Manila and Gregory
was for three months inspector of the
license department. He declares that
there are fewer saloons now, owing
to the strictness with which they are
made to pay licenses. Some large
saloons, for the accommodation, prin-
cipally, of the soldiers, were opened
in the business district, but, on the
other hand, more than 200 low grog-
geries where crime was frequent. and
where the Filipino drink. "beno," in
terdicted by Gen. Otis, was sold, were
entirely wiped out.
