CHINESE IMPUDENCE. ‘The reports from Washington to: concerning the Chinese massa: American and English missionaries at Kuchen and outrages at other points are very likely to stir the blood of all who have more of that article in their veins than the fishes caught at Gray Gables. We are told that the Chinese officials have positively refused to allow the American Consul to make any investi- gation of the robberies and murders, or even to be present at the pretended examination of the thieves and mur- Gerers by the local authorities. This, it is added, “is not a matter of great surprise to the State Depart- ment," the refusal being attributed to “the well-known desire of the Chinese to conduct such inquiries by their own people, their dislike to having uny In- terference by outsiders and the general Suspicion with which they look upon foreigners The American people would be pleased to hear that not only the "surprise" but the “indignation” of the Government at Washington was aroused by the in- sulting and humiliating report from China, and that a protest would he made by American vessels of war, with orders to speak in their own language.

Ireland, the owner of the bullding, and this will Ceroner's jury. Assistant District-Attorney McIntyre expresnes the opinion that Ireland can be Indicted for manslaughter. He be- Heves that the contractor, Parker, can be punished under the building law: but regrets to say that he thinks he cannot be held for manslaughter. In this we hope Mr. Mcintyre will find himself mistaken. A more cruel and unnecessary crime than the slaughter of those poor victims of the Ireland butiding cannot be conceived, and "The Evening World” will not cease in its demand for justice until every person in any way responsible for the deaths and for the sorrow, suffering and misery they heve occasioned, has been punished, China won't let America and England Investigate the muasacre of the mis- slonaries through thelr consular rep- resentatives. Thera would possibly be an unpleasant period for the Celestial Empire if the two nations interested should choose to press investigation by other means, THE SENSATION OF THE HOUR.

Plain fishing may do at Gray Gables, but what China needs is more like a whaling. “The Valkyrie looks larger."

A comedy conceived and born in the Mterary yet porcine atmosphere of Chi- cago was floated on this good old hospl- table city at Hoyt's Theatre last night, and its author came to town with It in order to make us feel happy by saying hice things to us end telling us how great we all are (we know that), and also to see how New York behaves It- self under trying thermometric as well us histrionic circumstances, The play was “Other People's Money;" the author, Edward Owings Towne; the star, Mr. Charles Dickson at the beginning of the programme, Mr. Dickson, merely, at the end, The Charles was lost en route. Mr, Owings Towne started with a very good Idea, which he immediately pro- ceeded to mutilate with the Armour- Ike porcine ferocity of the town from which he hails. In fact, with this one meagre, bright Idea he stuffed three talky acts as closely as though they were sausages, and at the sume time he showed us that he was not at all an original young man, for he simply wal- lowed in the grooves that have been doing duty since farce established itself in this lack-laughter world. If he had been a Parisian or a Londoner this cilnging to tradition might have been expected, but oh! Owings Towne, where 1s the breadth and vastness of the wild, imaginative West in your cheap and humid ttle play? We know from bitter experience that in farce every old gentleman must be henpecked and must utter uncompli- ntary and therefore humorous tirades agalnst his wife. We have grown up to that, We all know that every man with gray hair must, on the farcical stage, be a rake at heart, chuck every pretty girl under the chin and get hime self into some sort of trouble. We have krown up to that. We are also flend- ishly accustomed to the funny servant, colored or otherwise—we have quite grown up to that—but (please note the but) we, In New York, are not going to stomach specialties introduced tu thre act comedies by respectable old gentle- men who ought to know better, Mr, | Dickson sinned irrevocably.

Oliver adopis It, runs away with Marjory, and then appears at the parental residence.
