From THE SUNS Correspondent at Pekin
PEKIN, June le.-An Italian priest who
has arrived here from Shansi confirms the
reports previously made In regard TO the
massacre OF Roman Catholic clergymen
in southern Mongolia. He says that fifteen
Belgian priests with a number OF con-
verts we're massacred at Niang Tao LANG.
In southern Mongolia. several weeks ago
by soldiers under Prince Tuan. Duke Ian
and Gen. Tung Flu Hsiang.
The Belgian Minister is not inclined to
hold the Court responsible for this crime.
He SAYS the district where the massacres
occurred is the rendezvous Of many former
officials who have been degraded or SEN
fenced 10 banishment. These officials are
exercising high military power for the
time being. and 1t is impossible for the
Chinese Government 10 suppress them
The policy OF the Belgians is purely
commercial. They are desirous ~ secur-
ing many new concessions and are opposed
70 embarrassing the Chinese authorities
at present.
Orders have been issued for the Pekin-
Hankow Railway to convey Yuan Shih Kai
troops. who are now leaving Hochien-fu
from Paoting-fu to Pekin Hence these
soldiers will arrive in Pekin much earlier
than was expected. The French troops
are still unable to withdraw from the rail-
way line south OF Paoting-fu.
The recent joint expedition Of French
and Chinese regular troops to the revolt
ing district was barren Of results. owing
partly to the connvance Of the Chinese.
Prince Tuan, Duke Ian AID Gen. Tung
Fu Hsiang were perhaps the three most
prominent anti-foreigners during the
Boxer outbreak. but because of their high
rank the Ministers did not demand their
heads, as It was not believed that China
could carry out the death sentence The
court banished Tuan and Ian TO the bor-
ders NJ Turkestan for life and ordered that

SPIRITS DISRUPT COMMUNITY

Frederica is the victim OF spiritualistic
craze, started by young man named
Nathaniel Vincent, of Camden, N. J.
Vincent, who is II years old, and was
born there, A few weeks ago came on a
visit to his uncle, Myra Banning, we'll
known farmer. Banning is a leading
member of the Methodist Church, there
fore when he was heard to declare that
Vincent was spiritualist and that spirit
ualism was true doctrine he created a
sensation.
Later many of his friends visited his
home and witnessed exhibitions of spirit
rappingS given by young Vincent and
received messages from friends and rela-
tives who have been sleeping in Old Bar
rett's Church yard for years.
Many of these visitors were converted.
Finally the medium was induced to oive
seance in the Town Hall, and although
revival was in progress in the Metho-
dist Church the church was deserted and
the Hall crowded. Vincent called nm
departed spirits to order, but when a
doubling Thomas said the whole business
was fraudulent the meeting broke up.
But the craze keeps up. nevertheless.
The whole community is divided, and
many old neighborly and church ties
have been broken by acrimonious argu-
ment.

TO ERECT A STATION

The Philadelphia and Reading Railway
Company has purchased from the George
W. Bush & Sons Company in Whining
ton, a tract of land fronting on King
street and the Christiana river, and pro-
poses to erect modern passenger station
for the joint use of the railroad and the
New Jersey and Wilmington Ferry Com
pany, which is owned by the Reading.
The Wilmington and Northern Railroad
Company, which is owned by the Read
ing, has had its station at the northwest
corner of Walter and French streets, op-
posite the Philadelphia, Wilmington and
Baltimore Railroad station, but the
Pennsylvania Railroad has bought that
as part of its plan for improve
ments hereabouts.
The building which includes the United
States Hotel, is an obstruction to the
Pennsylvania's plans for elevating its
tracks. The new site is just below Water
street and one square nearer Market
street than the old. The ferry COMPANY
operates the steamer Ulrica between Will
mlngton and Pennsgrove, N. J. At one
end OF the new building will be the wharf
and at the other the railroad station.

THE GRIP AGAIN

Although in mild form. grin was nevar
before more prevalent than it is at the
present time throughout the United
States, and the disease seems to delipbt
In preylng upon the most prominent men
IN the country. In the twinkling of an
eye it changes the clarion tones of q
statesman to the husky tones of grave
digger and makes a fog horn of his nasal
appendage' In the west the grip is hold
ing sway in much worse form and it is
estimated that Chicago can alone boast
OF 100000 cases. Every year since 1889
when it appeared here first the disease
has differed slightly in its symptoms.
This year it is accompanied by catarrhal
symptoms which distinguish it slightly
from previous forms. In most Of its
features, however, the grip is the same
that struck terror to the community
twelve years ago when to so many it was
new and strange affliction. It is accom-
panied with fever, headache, chills and
backache thatmake life wearysome while
they last. The record made during the
last ten years show that women suffer
more severely from it over the age of 45
and that under that age the excess of
deaths is among the males. In Centre
vile qnite number of persons are suffer-
ing from it, but all in mild form.
