WILL BUILD A WIGWAM.

Democrats at Chicago UlftcuANifiK Plan? for the National Convention. CHICAGO, Feb. 5.—Chicago democrat* will be required to build a wigwam ill which to hold the national democratic convention. Tliis was the chief result of Thursday's conference between the managing committees. A conference was held at the Palmer house in which the special committee having in charge the preparations laid before •Mr. Sheerin, the secretary of the national committee, the situation so fai as the hall room is oonoerned. This delegation consisted of F. H. Winston, l'otter Palmer, W. S. Boglo and John P. Hopkins. They reported that it would be impossible to secure the interstate exposition building, and the auditorium was the remaining resort Mr. Sheerin said the national committee would demand a much larger hall, and under no circumstances vould consider the auditorium. 11 was too small for the purpose of a national convention, which would require a seating capacity of 15.000 tc '.'0,000 people.

That settled one quostion and the others were deferred at the request ol Mr. Sheerin, who aslced that furthej action as to appointment of committees and settling preliminary mattera be postponed until the national committee can give advice and*direction tc the movement.

It is conceded that a wigwam must be constructed, but there may be difficulty about procuring a central and suitable site. The plat of ground north of 1-iattery Don the lake front is especially desired. It is said, however, that Mr. Montgomery Ward has a par petual injunction upon its occupancy, and to place the wigwam there it would be ncccssary to give propel guaranty that none of his right! should be lost'by the concession for temporary structure. Members of the committee have strong hopes of hold ing the convention there.

The murderer made his escape. No cause is as yet assigned for the crime. Zenner and the young lady were lovers.- They had been out together during the evening and about 11 o'clock reached the home of the girl's employer. They stood togethsr for some time, and finally Zenner put his arm around the girl's neck. Thi» was seen by another girl employed in the house, who took it for an endearing action. A moment later Zenner drew a revolver and placing it against the girl's head, fired. She dropped to the pavement and the murderer took to his heels. Up to a late hour he had not been captured. It is stated that Zenner was insanely jealous of the girl and this probably was the cause of the crime.

HillSISOliS IN CHINA.

SA.N Fit

\NClneo,

Feb. 5.—A Mian ijhui

correspondent gives details of a terrible atrocity committed by Chinese rebels on the border of Manchuria and of equally terrible punishment indicted by government troops upon the captured rebels. These rebels were led by several Buddhist priests, and they wero especially savage against native Christians. At one place they burned sixty children and butchered nine Chinese nuns. At another they cremated sixty men whom

they imprisoned in a barn. Their expeditions were solely for plunder and without political purpose. Viceroy Li sent a large army against thorn aud their strength was broken. Hundreds of prisoners were taken.

Itcheadod by HuiulreiK.

The punishment meted out to the rebels by their conquerors was most revolting and tlie executions were conducted on a wholesale seale. Men were beheaded by hundreds, anil entire I trunks of trees were utilized as blocks along which prisoners were ranged in lines and their executioners simply mowed tff their heads when the signal was given. Generally in China the condemned arc ranged in small knots kneeling before the executioner, but here tho wretched miscreants were too numerous for the usual rules to be observed and they were seized by their queus by soldiers from the other side of the lately improvised blocks and their heads lopped off. They were not even tied and the headless trunks fell against the block or tumbled baclc-

ward or to one side when tlie fatal sword severed the neck. The heads I were hung in long rows on poles as a warning to others.

Tho iittiu'U

l,ol

by a Priest.

The rebels, it appears, were mostly bandits, who roam the country just outside the wall of China. Last spring they joined forces and entered upon a regular plan of campaign ot plunder. They were all well armed, and being mainly composed of proscribed Chinese criminals they fought desperately whenever pitted against the Chinesp troops, and for a long time always defeated their adversaries. One of the most notorious of the priestly marauders was llan Clian Chung, who recently lost his life at Mo Wo Kun, a place about 200 miles northeast of Keehol, during a fierce engagement with the Chinese troops. He was for many years enshrined in a 51 ongolian temple as the living Buddha. It was Han Chan Chung who led the main attack on the largo city of Clio Yang when it was captured in November la«t. Ou that occasion, which was the most important incident of the rebellion, the rebels' mustered a force of over 3.000 men, twenty or thirty bands joining together for the event. The most horrible atrocities were perpetrated by these wandering desperadoes. Eyewitnesses state that almost the entire population of villages was cruelly maltreated and murdered. The burning of children alive, the brutal treatment and murder of women, the carrying off of everything from tho homes of the wretched people, was the general iine of conduct of these inhuman fiends.

Scorct! Ilurned or Hurled Alive. A case in point is the occurrence at a village called Kutulan, in the Jehol prefecture, Manchuria. A band of MO marauders swooped down upon this place in the dead of night, captured all whom they did not kill outright, and finally carried away with them all the women. Before going they put sixty men in a large barn, securely fastened all places of egress, and set fire to the place. The shrieks of those

being

burned alive reached the ears of

a few persons who had escaped to tlie hills. The scene was frightful in the. extreme. This, however, is only one of a dozen such incidents. The rebels raided and destroyed Christian and heathen villages alike, but to captives of the former places they acted in a particularly ferocious manner. At Talijow, which has been Christian for two centuries, they massacred nine Chinese sisters, nuns, and burned the orphanage, which contained sixty littli inmates. The piercing of the-bodics of the captives with heated bayonets and spears, the gouging out of eyes, the disemboweling or burying alive of victims, were among the atrocities practiced by the rebels.
