Ban Francisco, May 81.—Letters received from China by the City of Pekin, which has arrived here, show an appalling situation of affairs in the north of China. In Shat-g tut-g the distress from starvation is frightful. A missionary named Alfred M. Jones, in a recent letter to a newspaper, says that cannibalism is, to his own knowledge, often practiced by the poorer classes. "In the histories of sieges," he says, "we road of people exchanging their children to eat them, as they could not bear to eat those to whom they themselves had given birth, and of cutting up bodies in order to cook them for food, and this is being repeated now. The general state of Bhat-g-tut-g is such that all the benevolent exertions of the governors, Chang and Taotsi Shenk, have but touched the outside of the misery. The 200,000 taels already distributed have gone a very little way among *uch millions of starving human beings. Foreigners, forgetting the political or geographical demarcations that di\ ide men from men, have contributed mcst generously to help these people. Regarding the sale of women and children, it is a matter of as much notoriety as the selling of mules and donkeys, except that they are not brought to market. Since the very cold weather pas.-od over the number of deaths from starvation has decreased, taut not so the sale of women and children. Women between 20 and 30 years of age ore sold for ffi or $10, the latter being a high price, and children under 10 years for from $1 to $1.50." to lie Killed and Eaten.

The coroner reoelved a letter from Mrs. Witthaus, the mother of the dead man, asking him to call.

No reason for the suicide can be assigned except that of temporary insanity, for when Capt Witthaus left bis home to take port in the parade nothing unusual was noticed in his manner. It is believed that the suicidal mania was inherited, as an uncle of Capt Witthaus, who was a wealthy man, killed himself about ten years ago, very much in the same way, without any apparent cause.

Then came the treat of the evening, the oration by Mr. McKinley. His reception was an ex-' ceedingly warm one. The Grand Army of the Republic, he began, is not in the service of arms today. Storm and siege, battle line and disaster liave given place to peace and manifestations of affection to comrades, in which all American citizens unite. The service of today is more to us, far more than to tHbse in whose memory it is performed. It means nothing to the dead— everything to the living. It reminds us of what our comrades did. It teaches us the awful cost of liberty and the right of national union, and it bids us to emulate the example which they set us. The annual tribute the nation pays to its heroic dead is American in its very conception. No nation in the world has so honored her dead, soldiers as ours. Nowhere else are they the recipients of such tributes. Other nations have decorated their great captains, knighted their c iinnmnders, erected monuments to perpetuate their names, aud pyramids and arches to mark their triumphal marches. To America is mankind indebted for tribute which brings offerings of affectiod to the graves of the soldier dead. (Tremendous applause.) We not only honor our captains, but shower tokens of equal love upon others irrespective of rank in the field or condition at l oiue. Our gr.uftude has no regard for title. Ti e soldier ho, no matter what his rank, fell for liberty and the Union, is equally rememberet I today with our greatest generals.

"This is a question of tail pulling," continued the attorney; "you see, every Irishman is trying to twist the British lion's tail, and in their ardor they get jealous and jump on each other. In the Philadelphia convention the greatest Irish intellects in the country clashed. There was never an Irish convention in the United States in which there were such intrigues and t-uch bitter contests. Alexander Sullivan came out on top, electing Henry Sheridan delegate. That victory made Sullivan a mark for the jealousy of every prominent Irishman who did not belong to his party. W. J. Hynes, of Chicago, used to be a friend of Sullivan. He and Judge Moran defended him in the Hanford murder case. But the Philadelphia victory cost Sullivan Hynes' friendship.
