Somewhat con tused reports have reached hero of a massacre of missionaries at Nan chang, province of Kiangsi.

It Is alleged that after long contin ued disputes between the Catholic priests and the Chinese magistrate of Nanchang, the priests Invited the maglstrato to u banquet, where they tried to compel him to sign an agree ment for the payment of a large In demnity for the destruction of Catholic mission property. According to one report, the magistrate became Indig nant and committed suicide, but the ' Chinese assert that a priest attacked and killed him. The officials, fearing to nrreBt the priest, called a public meeting, whereupon the Catholics, ac- ' cording to the Chinese version of tho trouble, set fire to their own premises. The public meeting of tho Chlnoso developed Into a riot, In which, ac cording to one story, six of tho Catho lics were 'killed, though a later ac court Bays the number of Catholics killed was four.

Arrest of Miners Based on Orchard's Story of Twenty-six Murders. Boise, Ida., Feb. 2G. Governor Gooding issued tho following state ment with respect to the Steuuenbcrg assassination case; "I want to state officially that Har ry Orchard has made a full confession as to the manner and motive of tho nssassination of ex-Governor Stcunen berg, telling of tho plans mado and giving the names of those making them. The assassination of ex-Governor Steunenberg, which occurred at his own gate on the evening of Dec. 30, 1905, was the third attempt that Orchard made against his life. This confession wns made to James Me Parland. It Included a history of his life from his early boyhood up to tho time of his arrest. In that confession Orchard Implicated all those now un der nrrest and others, including J. Ij. Slmpkins. He told tno story of twenty-six murders, the results of con spiracies, In which all the nccused parties worp Interested. 'When this story Is given to the public I believe It will be tho greatest narrative of crime which tho world knows. There has never been any doubt as to the truth of Orchard's confession among thoso who are familiar with tho crimes committed In Idaho and Colorado and chorged to the inner circle of the Western Federation of Miners. 1 have seen Orchard myself since this confession wns made. Ho told me that no promises of clemency or reward had been held out to him by McParland or others. The finding of the bomb at Judgo Goddard's gate and many other things which will lat er be mado known at tho trial proved the truthfulness of Orchard's confes sion beyond all question to those fa miliar with his story."

Tho remarkable incident of ono clergyman offering to servo the jail sentence of another was presented in the United States district court when Judgo Munger sentenced Uev. George G. Ware to serve one year In tho Douglas county jail, In ad dition to paying a fine of $1,000 for conspiracy to defraud tho government out of titles to public land. No sooner had tho court Imposed sentence thnn Rev. George A. Beecher, dean of Trin ity Episcopal cathedral of Omaha, arose and expressed his willingness to go to jail for his brother, In whlse In nocenco he professed absoluto confi dence. Judgo Munger said, In reply to Dean Beecher: "The court deeply appre ciates this situation and shares In the personal feeling prevailing, but the court haB a duty to perform that It cannot avoid." Beforo sentenco was passed upon Ware by Judgo Munger he mnde a strong plea for leniency, reiterating that he wns Innocent of tho offense of which ho had been convicted and de claring thnt he had been wrongfully and unfairly tried. Attorney Henry Frawley called Judge Munger's attention to some of the persons who had signed a petition asking leniency for Ware. The peti tion wns signed by some 1,000 per sons, among whom were educntors, church men, lawyers and business men of South Dakota. A bill of errors was presented to the court by Attorney Mahoney for tho defense, and Ware's appeal bono was fixed at $5,000. The case will be taken up to the circuit court of ap peals as soon as the long transcript can be prepared. INHUMAN TREATMENT OF GIRL. Dragged About by Hair of Her Head and Skull Fractured by Officers. St. Petersburg, Feb. 20. Great wrath has been aroused In liberal cir cles by the publication of a letter from Mile. Spirldonovo, the seventeen-year-old girl who shot M. Luzhenoft sky, chief of the secret police at Tarn boff, In which she describes the Indig nities and brutalities to which she was subjected. The letter says that after the shooting of Luzhenoffsky Mile. Spirldonovo was knocked down and beaten with the whips of tho Cos sacks and with rifle butts. She was then dragged by her hair downstairs to- a sleigh, taken to a police station, undressed and thrust Into a damp, cold cell, where she was subjected to eleven hours of torment In order to force her to reveal the names of her accomnllepb. The g'rl says two olllcors took bru tal pleasure in kicking her back, nud forth across her cell, tearing her hair, burning nor flesh with their cigarettes and threatening her abandonment to the Ccssacks unless she confessed. She Is now in a hospital In a serious condition. Her skull Is fractured In two places, one eye Is Injured and her body is a mass of bruises from head to foot. Tho newspapers demand the instant triul and punishment of the two officers, whose names ore given, but the vengeance of the revolution ists will probably anticipate official action.
