From our Hegular Correspondent, Washington, D. C, Aug. 10, 1 891. ' The meeting of the Executive Com mittee of the National Association of Democratic clubs to be held in New York City to-morrow is the most im portant meeting ever held by that committee. The secretary will present reports from nearly every state in the Union showing that the Association has far out-grown the most sanguine idea of its originators, and plans will be discussed whereby the association can render the greatest service to the party in those States hoUlir.g elections this year. All talk about the com mittee entering into personal politics either to favor or oppose, any of the gentlemen named for tne democratic nomination next year is bosh. Among its members are friends of several of the candidates, and even allowing that it were possible to use the committee as an auxiliary to somebody's boom, which it is not, no one candidate could control a majority of it. It is difficult to keep political sec rets in Washington, therefore it isn't surprising that the fact should have leaked out that candidate McKinley wrole Secretary Foster imploring his aid to raise money for his campaign. In this letter McKinley was particu larly bitter against the Pittsburg glass manufacturers, who he said, had promised to contribute $25,000 but had only given $1,300. Mr. Foster's own tongue gave this away. In spite of the statement of Chairman Clark son that the republican national com mittee would take no part in any of the State campaigns this year, it is known here that it has already sent a large amount of money to Ohio, and that it is now engaged in raising more, intended for the same destination. Republicans, near to the committee have Doasted, also that they would buy up the People's party of Ohio, as they knew many of the leaders to -be for sale. While our new war ships are giving their officers a chance to do the agree able to tfc'f lelles ' of the fashionable seaside resorts in this country, that gallant old seaman, Rear Admiral Mc Cann, the commander of the South Atlantic Squadron, is in Washington worrying because he has no flagship, the Pensacola, which he had used un til recently as such, being now on her way to Mare Island Navy Yard, where it is expected she will be condemned. The other vessels in the South At lantic are the Essex and the Talla poosa, the latter, according to a re cent private letter from a naval officer, being in such a bad condition that she will have to be condemned and sold where she is. This state of affairs isn't creditable to those responsible for it ; but as long as social influence is the ppwer that controls the Navy department there is little probability of a change for the better. "It is just as well" said a Pennsyl vania democrat, "to accept with a grain of allowance all the stories told about what Quay is going to do for or against this or that presidential candi date. Mr. Quay has the fight of his life on his hands to keep control of the republican machine in Pennsylvania. If he wins, then it will be time enough for him to attempt to influence nation al politics, but if he loses, as I now think he will, there will be none so humble as to do the ex-boss reverence. CoL Conger; the man who may be said to have originated the present Blaine boom, by stating upon author ity that Mr. Blaine would accept the nomination, if it came to him without an effort on his part is said to have told several friends here of the diffi culty he had in prevailing .upon Mr. Blaine to see the matter as he did. He says that after he had successfully combatted all the arguments advanced by Mr. Blaine against accepting the nomination that he had to go through the same thing with Mrs. Blaine, who finally gave her consent although she at first said that Mr. Blaine should never become a candidate. This may be entirely so but if it is then Col, Conger is not the shrewd politician he has been generally credited with being or he never would have repeated it. ' Mr. William Dickson, the District of Columbia member of the National Democratic Committee, has inaugu rated a movement which is ' enthusias tically endorsed by everybody here, to get the National committee to vote in favor of holding the national conven tion next year, and many well inform ed democrats have expressed the opin ion that the convention would either be held in Washington or in Balti- more. ' j Ccmmissioner of pensions Rauni did not attend the G. A. R. encamp ment at Detroit, and the fact has been the basis of many comments, and has revived the story that he had promised to resign before Congress meets. He has been making more explanations that do not explain, relative to the charges of negligent and careless wcrk in his office. Below will be found an account of the recent disturbances in China and their causes as set forth by Miss Rose Sickler, formerly of this county, who is now doing missionary work at Nan kin, China. The letter was written to the Wyoming Democrat, Tunkhan nock. , t Shanghai, China, May 31. 189!. Messrs. Editors :-You have doubt less already received 'detailed reorts of the riots along the Yangtse river, still x few words from a Wyoming county girl who "has" been there and knows all about it" may be of interest. Anti-foreign riots in China are so common as to lose much of there in terest to the reading public. The great majority of these however, are local affairs, excited by the natural antipathy of the Chinaman to the foreigner, and terminating in the destruction of a lit tle foreign property (to be paid for by the Chinese government) and the loss of a few heads by the rioters. Nankin, as the seat of government for three Provinces, has always been singularly free from these outbreaks. The fact that a disturbance has at last broken out in Nankin, as well as all the other river ports, is an index to the distinctive character of the upris ing. There exists, all over China, a very powerful secret organization known as the "Go Lace Huee." This, as its name indicates, was originally formed as a society for the relief of the aged. It has, however, developed or degen erated, as the case may be, into an as sociation for th; overthrow of the Manchu dynasty and the existing form of government. The members of this society hope, by inciting the people to anti-foreign riots, to imbroil the . Chi nese government in difficulty with for eign natious. They wisely calculate that external troubles will facilitate internal rebellion. This seems to be the most rational theory yet advanced to account for the popular uprising all over China It is the opinion held by Chinese scholars with whom I have conversed. The plan is to inflame the minds of the illiterate with stories of unheard of crime which they say are perpetrated by the foreigners. Their stock story is that the foreigners entice little chil dren to their premises, kill them and take out their eyes to be used in mak ing medicines.- As nine-tenths of the Chinese are illiterate and . ignorant, and the entire . population " credulous and superstitious, this story gains al most universal credence. The motive of Christians in found ing free schools and orphanage? js quite incomprehensible to the unrt generate mind of the heathen Chinee, and he confidently believes that some sinister design is at the bottom of it. This is the explanation. , The children are to be killed and their eyes used as medicine. .Up to date disturbances have taken place in Nyankin, Wohu, Nankin, and Chinkiang. There are mutterings all over the empire. As a resident of Nankin, and one of the party of refu gees, I feel particularly interested in what took place in that city. . , ; ; We regret the temporary suspension of our mission work, but believe that God will overrule all for good. The noble conduct of our native Christians dnring these trying times is, in itself, sufficient justification of the canse of missions. We are still in Shanghai but hope to return soon to our field of labor. i i. Resp., ' Rose Sickler, : Nankin, China. ' ' ' j BEBTON ITEMS. ( Married : On Thursday.
