CANNON FROM CHINA.
Relic Sent Home by Minister Conger From
Scene of Trouble Arrives at
Des Noines.

Des Moines. March 19.-Major e.
H. Conger. United States minister to
China, has sent home one of the big
Chinese cannon taken by him from
the defenses of Picking as a part iof
the loot of the powers after the dis
tressing scenes of last year. The can
non arrived yesterday from Seattle
and will soon be taken to the grounds
of the Iowa Historical building. where
it will remain. The cannon is a very
ordinary affair and evidently of little
use against modern equipments. Min
lister Conger has been criticised at
home for having taken these cannon
but his friends stoutly defend him
and point out that the United States
committed no atrocities at Picking
Conger is expected home next month

A young man who had purchased

That morning the special intention had
been the repose of the soul of Henri
Beausoleii But as he slowly laid one
card upon another, now here, now
there, he thought Of Inocencio. What a
clear, starry soul was his. What an in
strument for good he could be! What
stubborn faith he was capable of! A
shadow fell upon the table.
Padre Inocencio said, standing
there straight and tall and brown, "be-

The player pushed the cards from

and smiled.
