June Si. -Mail ulceb per steamer Express of India state that the anti-foreign policy is a?aia mani festing itself in the Yang-tee valley, and renewal of the outrages and riots is probable. The "literati," who are in advance of the European loss of prestige fired with an intense hatred. ar stirring popular prejudice against foreigners by malignant falsehoods, and in uiaiy in stances the half ignorant and superstiti ous imperial forces are powerless. At Ching Hi and Kienningmobs, personally led by literati, wrecked the missionary buildings and put the foreign rosidenU in fear of their lives1. In Ching Hi two ladies, missionaries of the Church of England, wt-re insulted and ordsred to depart. They escaped to the chief magistrate's house, which the mob surrounded and the freighteneJ pamen sent the ladies aw ay. Tho Kienu mg mission hospital and dispensary was wrecked. Dr. Rigg was dragged out by four soldiers, ostensibly scat by the local mandarin to protect the plaoe. Rigg made his way out amid a shower of bricks, stones and sticks. Not satis fied, however, the mob tried to thro him into a vat of liquid offal. Uig finally escaped, with his clothing torn to rags and minus his watch and chain. The native students and pationt3 were robbed of all their possessions. Pirates of Sadrones recently obtained entry on a Chinese customs cruisor, pro ceeding on a search for Smuggling par ties. The pirates when at sos took possession of the steamer and looted three junks before parting with the cruiser. A project is on foot in Hong Kong to send ten or twelve thousand cooliss to the Nicaragua canal and the plantations of Jamaica, British Honduras and Ecua dor. The insurrection in Pehaug, Malay peninsula, is not yet settled, and the sultan's troops will go forward this time without British officers accouipacying them. Emmons Blaine Dead. Chicago, June 20. Emmons Blaine, second son of ex-Secretary of State Jamee G. Blaine, died at his residence in this city at 11:15 Saturday morning. He had been ill for several days from blood poisoning, which resulted from stomach disorder, but nothing serious was feired until shortly before the end 2a me. The fact of his death was concealed for some time with the object of reach ing his father with news in a less shock ing manner than by a public announce ment. The effort to get telegraphic communication with him failed, how ever, and at 12:25 the news became pub lic. It was only a quarter of an hour before the fatal end came that the least intimation that young Blaine was in a dangerous condition became known, and then to only a few of his most intimate friends at the Baltimore and Ohio rail way headquarter?. In this city his as sociates only were aware that he was il! and had been so for several days. Young Blaine was a notable figure in the exciting scenes in connection with his father's presidential candidacy at Minneapolis, and took his defeat greatly to heart, lis was confined to his bed shortly after his return from the north. It is thought possible that the strain and excitement at Minneapolis followed by his keen dissappointment of the out come, bad not a little to do with the prostration ensuing.

'I confess the man was no favorite of mine, aud that I can not help being glad cf this clianca that has presented itself in his extraordinary disappear ance of my inheriting hU place and title; but really, my dear creature. 1 know as little of what has become of him. as I presume-you do yourself." "You lie!" cries Dora, losing all cou ,rol over herself. "You have murdered him, to get him o"t of your path. His death lies at your door." She points her linger at him as though in condemnation in she utters these words, but still he does not Hindi. ' They will takeyou for a Bedlamite " nesays, with a sneering laugh, "if yon conduct yourself hko this.

"You had better devote your tims to some other purpos s," 'is exclaims sav agely, laying his hand upen her wrist with an amount of force that leaves a red mark upon the delicate llesh.

"Demon!" shrieks Dora, recoiling from him. "You would fix the crime on ir.e ?" "Why not? 1 think the whole case (ells terribly against you. Hitherto 1 have spared you, I have refrained from hinting even at the fact that your jeal ousy had been aroused of late; but your conduct of today, and the w ily manner in which you have sought to accuse me of being implicated in this unfortunate mystery connected with my unhappy cousin, have made me re gret my forbearance, lie warned in time, cease to persecute me about this matter, or wretched woman that you are 1 shall certainly make it my busi ness to investigate the entire matter, and bring you to justice!" He speaks with such an air of truth, of thorough belief In her guilt, that Dora is dazed, bewildered, and, falling back from him, covers her face with her hands. The fear of publicity, of having her late intrigue brought into the glare of day, fills her with consterna tion. And then, what will she gain bv it? Nothing; she has no evidence on which to convict this man; ell is mere supposition. She bitterly feels the weakness of her position, and her in ability is follow up her accusation. "Ah. how like a guilty creature you stand there!" exclaims Dynecourt. re garding her bowed and trembling figure- "I see plainly that this must be looked into. Miserable woman! If you know aught of my cousin, you had bet ter declare it now." "iraitor! cries Dora, raising her pale face and looking at liira with hor ror and defiance. "You triumph now because, as yet, I have no evidence to support my belief; but" she hesitates. "Ah, brazen it out to the last!" says Dynecourt insolently. "Defy me while you can. Today I shall set the blood hounds oi the law upon your track, so oeware beware! "You refuse to tell me anything?' exclaims Dora, ignoring his words, and treating them as though they are un heard.

Not quite unbroken, however. What is this that strikes upon the ear? What sound comes to break the unearthly stillness? A creeping footstep, a cautious tread, a slinking, halting, uncertain motion, be longing surely to some one who sees an enemy, a spy in every flitting shadow Nearer and nearer it comes now into tiie fuller glare of the castle servants. Looking uneasily around him, Arhtur Dynecourt for it is he unfastens this door, and, entering hastily, closes it lirmly behind him, and ascends the staircase within. There is no halting in his footsteps now, no uncertainty no caution, only a hast that betokens desire to get his errand over as quickly as possible. Having gained the first landing, he walks slowly and on tiptoe again, and, creeping up the stone stairs, crouches down so as U bring his ear on a level with the lower sliink of the door. Alas, all is still; no faintest groan can be heard! The silence of Death is on all around. In spite of his hardihood, the cold sweat of fear breaks out upon Uynecourts brow; and yet he tells him self that now he is satisfied, all victim is secure, is beyond the power of words or kindly search to recall him to life. He may be discovered now as soon as they like. A ho can fix the fact of his death upon him? There is no blow, no mark of violence to criminate any one lie is safe, aud all the wealth he had so coveted is at last his own ! mere is something fiendish in the look of exultation that lights Arthur Uynecourt's face. He has a small dull lantern wiiu mm, and now it revenu the vile glance of triumph that fires his eyes. He would fain have entered to gaze upon his victim, ta assure himself of his victory, but he refrains. A deadly fear that he may not yet be quite dead keeps him back, and, with a frown, he prepares to descend once more. she counsel, in me meantime the davllahf j.i-.ai ,., . --. uwwu.oa, mm twiiigni aescends.
