FearfUl Slaughter of Chris
tians In Shansi Province.
TREACHEROUS GOVERNORTHELEADER
Bishops, Priests and Suns. With Two
Hundred Orphans, Put to Death
by Chinese—Horrible In
dlicnltles Suffered.
BERLIN, Dec. 4.—A special dispatch
from China to the Cologne Vol Its Xeitung
reports a fearful mission slaughter in the
province of Shansi. The first victims,
i lie dispatch says, were a Catholic bishop
si nd his coadjutor and four European
j.! iests, Franciscans, Italians aud French.
The governor invited them to his house,
pretending to give them better protec
tion, but when they arrived their hands
were tied. Then the governor himself
poniarded them all.
Then the governor went to the bishop's
residence with a number of soldiers and
>i i;-.ed six Marseilles sisters. He prom
ised thetn money and distinguished hus
bands if they renounced Christianity,
wliifch they unanimously rejected.
Thereupon the governor poniarded them
and also a number of Chinese priests, !50
t'hinese sisters and 200 orphans from It
lo Id years of age.
Fifteen seminarists who had hidden
themselves in a cistern were, the dis
patch adds, tied to stakes and forced to
iii ink the blood of the first victims. They
were then killed.
A Chinese priest and two Christians
who attempted to escape were cut to
pic.ee and putin a small hut. where they
w ere burned.
All the foreign envoys have now heard
from their governments regarding the
joint note to the Chinese plenipotentia
ries. and a meeting will be held tomor
row. The envoys are not communicative,
lull enough is known with reference to
ihe objections of different governments to
make it seem doubtful that the meeting
will have a satisfactory conclusion.

demands of the powers. They declare
lliat China desires peace at any price
.vnimensurate with the dignity of an in
ilcpendent uation. but they point out that
so long as a large foreign army occupies
ilie province of Chi-li the problem will be
harder to solve.
VANDALS IN PEKING.
Observatory Stripped lnstruments
to Be Sent to liorope.
T! I'jN-TSIN, Dec. 2.—Protests and re
quests have been forwarded to Field
Marshal Count von Waldersee by the
representatives of the powers urging the
prevention of the removal of astronomical
instruments from the observatory at Pe
king. Most of the priucipal instruments
have been prepared for shipment and
labeled for Berlin or for Paris.
The Chinese themselves do not protest
because, as members of Li Hung Chang's
st aIT put it, their objections would be
useless, as whatever they say or do in
the way of protest only elicits uncivil
treatment.
The observatory is universally recog
nized as one of the most interesting sights
in Peking. Most of the instruments now
out of place ftu over 150 years old. Many
of thetn are magnificent bronzes and. al
though not of modern type, can still be
uesd for the purposes of astronomical
observation.
NO DEWEY ARCH.
Committee For n Permanent Slrue
ture DlMband*.
NEW YORK. Dec. 4.—By a vote of 10
to:> the executive committee of the citi
zens' committee for perpetuating the na
val arch, or Dewey arch, as it was origi
nally called, decided to disband and to re
turn lo the subscribers the money collect
ed for the project. The abandonment of
the plan is due to the lack of interest dis
played by the public.
Before voting to disband the committee
considered and rejected three proposi
tions which had been submitted. One of
these wns from the Henry-Bonuord
Bronze company, which made an offer lo
build the entire arch on its own responsi
bility under the supervision of the com
mittee. The funds necessary to carry on
the work would be collected by the linn
under a special contract with the com
mittee. As compensation the linn want
ed 10 per cent of the money collected
other than the amount which had been
raised by (lie committee.

t'seleH Guerrilla Warfare.
BEUI.IX, Dec. 3. Mr. Kruger has
abandoned his proposed visit to Berlin
owing to the receipt of an otiicial intima
tion that Emperor William regrets that
in consequence of previous arrangements
he will be unable to receive hiiu. The
Boer statesman will therefore proceed di
rect from Cologne for Holland. He tele
graphed to this effect yesterday.
The Cologne Gazette in an inspired
communication says: "Mr. Kruger's visit
is not agreeable to Germany, his aim be
ing to obtain intervention in South Afri
ca. It would be a grave political mis
take, it would be even a great crime, to
allow him to entertain even a spark of
hope that Germany will render hiiu any
practical support."
This declaration is accompanied with
reproaches. Mr. Kruger being charged
with "having encouraged a useless guer
rilla warfare and having disregarded
Germany's advice when he might still
have followed it." The press generally
strikes the same note.
Krtait'er In Cologne.

Mr. Kruger, who, when replying to the
deputation of Bonn students in the after

of the Transvaal, thanked the students
for their kind welcome and shook hands
with each. Afterward he appeared upon
the balcony, where he was loudly cheered
from below. Having rested for half an
hour he went into the vestibule of the
hotel, which .was crowded with visitors,
it is expected that Mr. Kruger will re
main here until Wednesday.

food is being distributed to the sufferers.
Admiral Iteniey has ordered the Are

Two Year* Hence.
(Special Correspondence.)
Philadelphia, Dec. 4.—The secret of
the interest taken by Col. James M.
Guffey, Democratic national committee
man. in the contest over the organ
ization of the legislature and the elec
lion of a United States senator has
been at last explained. Despite the
fact that, through the IOSB of 27 votes
in the house, the Democrats are that
much further away from the senator
ship than they were two years ago,
Guffey is still working and still spend
ing money to defeat the re-election of
Col. M. S. Quay, the choice of a large
majority of the Republicans in the
legislature for United States senator.
Guffey has made a deal with the
Flinn-Martln insurgents, by which they
hope to deadlock the coming legisla
ture on the election of a United States
senator.
Flinn and Martin, with the defeat of
their fusion schemes in so many dis
tricts, see the utter hopelessness of
their game to elect an insurgent to the
United States senate, controlling as
they do but a small minority of the Re
publican vote in the general assembly.
To the Martin-Flinn Insurgent end
and the Guffey Democratic contingent
it is evident that there is but one thing
to do, and that is to attempt to again
deadlock the legislature and block the
plan 9 of the regular Republicans of
electing the choice of the Republican
caucus. They have determised to
work for another deadlock, so as to
throw the election of a successor to
Col. Quay into the next legislature,
which would then have to elect two
United States senators, successors to
Messrs. Quay and Penrose.
This scheme Is made attractive to
the Democrats, and especially to Guf
fey, by a promise that Guffey shall be
given one of these seats in the United
States senate, with the other togo to
an insurgent Republican who put up
the most cash in the fight. The recent
scheme of a fusion campaign for the
election of candidates for the legisla
ture would, according to their program,
be repeated two years hence, and the
insurgents would continue to act inde
pendently of the regular Republican
organization and practically maintain
a party of their own.
BARTER AND SALE.
Flinn and Martin are apparently
ready to make any trades to keep the
Democrats In the senate and the house
working In harmony with their Inter
ests. They have agreed to sell out the
Republican organization to the Democ
racy In the state senate and support a
Democrat. J. Henry Cochran, of Ly
coming, for president pro tem. of the
senate and share the patronage and the
committee appointment* with the Guf
fey Democrats, Guffey is to turn the
Democratic members over to an Insur
gent Republican for speaker of the
house, and is to be able to guarantee
certain clerkships and Important com
mittee appointments to Democrats,
which should goto Republicans.
GUFFEY FAVORS A CAUCUS.
While Guffey U eager to contribute
to the success of the plans of Martin
and Flinn to disrupt the Republican or
ganization, he is quite as anxious to
maintain harmony in the Democratic
organization and to have the Demo
cratic members of the state senate and
the house follow his advice and lead
ership.
In commenting upon Col. Guffey's at
titude Editor Arthur M. Roy, of the
NVellsboro Agitator, a stalwart Repub
lican, said:
"It seems that Col. James M. Guffey
does not want to be named as the Dem
ocratic candidate for United States sen
ntor. In an Interview at Pittsburg
I last Friday he said:
" 'The Democrats will, of course,
have their own senatorial candi
date. They will Insist upon this,
and I am anxious that the Denu>-
ocratlu caucus nomination should
goto some prominent party work
er. My business affairs are simply
overwhelming me, and are taking
more time and attention than my
health will supply. 1 feel that I j
should be relieved of political re
sponsibility at this time. However. j
the Democratic legislators are for
n Democrat for the United States
senate, and in their party caucus
they will determine Just who that
candidate shall be."
| "So the colonel," remarked Editor
Roy, "will insist on a regular caucus
liominatlou by the Democrats, but the
shoe is on the other foot when he talks
alftiut Republican state politics. It's
all wrong lu his eyes for the Republl- j
can lut-mlwrs of the legislature to think j
of such a thing as holdlug a caucus.
It Is probable, however, that Mr. Ouf- |
fey's advice will not lie asked about i
that matter, though he has been very
free to offer It recently."
THINGS ARK MFFKKRNT.
The combination that existed at H«r- 1
' rtsbum last session was successful in
preventing the election of a Republi
can to the senate because the reiiular
Republicans were deceived by cartaln
men who had promised togo Into the
Republican caucus ami who violated
| their pledge.
This tliue things are different In a
large majority of the cases candidates
for the legislature were nominated aud
elected u|sm the issue of party regular
ity aud party (rally MM th> ggjiaMM
of the men who sevk to lultueiice mem- I
Iters of the legislature to remain out
of the caucus will not succeed Resort
ing to questionable method* to make
H.outilU.na Ignore thalt uuitv and
unite with the Democrats will react
upon those who attempt this guerrilla
style of politics, and will In the end
help to cement the regular Republican
forces.
The leaders of the stalwart element
In the party have been working quietly
and thoroughly, and are fully acquaint
ed with what Is going on in both the
Insurgent and the Democratic camps,
and they have nothing to fear from the
outcome of the conspiracy of so-called
Republicans with the Guffey Demo
crats.
VACANCY IN THE HOUSE.
The death of Representative William
F. Stewart, of this city, on Saturday
last leaves a vancancy in the house
which cannot be filled before the or
ganization of the legislature, although
it is possible a special election may be
held In time to have his successor vote
on the United States senatorship. The
late Representative Stewart, who was
the "father of the house,"was a follow
er of David Martin and co-operaterl
with the insurgents. He was counted
upon to do so again, had he Tive(l. His
death leaves but 203 members in the
house, and of this number 102 Is a
majority, which is the vote necessary
to elect a speaker.
With a full house of 204 votes, 103
Totes are required to elect the speaker
and other officers.
While the friends of Hon. W. T.
Marshall, of Allegheny, who will be
the Republican caucus nominee for
speaker, had no doubt of his election
before Mr. Stewart's death had the
vote been close this vacancy might
have had an important bearing on the
situation. This means a loss of one
vote for the insurgents and a gain of
one for the regulars.
As soon ad a special election shall
be held a stalwart Republican will un
doubtedly be elected to succeed the
late Mr. Stewurt.

Your No. 5 Separator was received, set up, and has been operated daily since
the 4th of January. Kach of our dairy boys has now had a turn at it, setting it
up, running it, washing it, and testing the skiiu-milk. They all like the machine,
on account of its easy running and simplicity. We are running through milk
ia to 24 hours old, warmed to over 80 ami usually about 90 degrees. The per
cent, of fat in the skim-milk, so far as reported, will not reach on the average
a tenth of a per cent., and often Is too small to read, in the skim-milk bottle. \\ e
