Senator Sargent and Representa tive Page, of California, called on Attornev-General Taft on the 21st with reference to the published re port that ho is preparing an opinion adverse to the Pacific coast senti ment and proposition on the Chinese question.

The Seattle Intelligencer of June 17th says: "A young man named Martin has been paying his attentions to a daughter of Mr. Bedell, for some time past, against Bedell's wishes. On Thursday evening, Mar tin succeeded in inducing the young lady to accompany him to Seattle for the purpose of getting married. Her father, on Friday morning.canie to town and employed W. II. White to prevent, if possible, the marriage. Finally, under the advico of Mr. White, the parties all returned to Mr. Bedell's home for the purpose of celebrating the marriage of Martin with the daughter, a license having been procured and a justice of the peace engaged to perform the cere mony. After returning to Bedell's residence, an altercation occurred between him and hia intended son-in-law, when the former discharged a shot-gun at the latter, some of the shot taking effect in Martin's arm. In tho excitement of the occasion, Mrs. Bedell fainted and ruptured a blood vessel. Drs. Sparling and Bagley were called, and found that Mrs. Bedell was beyond human aid. A complaint for an assault with in tent to kill has leen sworn out by Martin against Mr. Bedell, who has not yet been arrested, on account of the dying condition of his wife. We have since learned that Mrs. Bedell is dead. a eft- Kafir Customs. The religion of the Kafirs, like that of all other vari eties of "the noble savage," is noth ing more than a vile superstition, accompanied by customs of a most debasing character. By this religion woman is degraded to the lowest level, and classed among beasts of burden and the goods and chatties of her masters. Polygamy, of course, is universally allowed, and under the system of purchase which prevails, the number of wives bear proportion to tho wealth of the husband. Con cubinage is permitted, and no idea of purity or virtue is permitted to exist. Witchcraft is the great leading fea ture of the Kafir religion, and "witch doctors" are its priests. In those places where British influence does not exist a system is regularly carried out, by means of which men with property are sacrificed to tho rapacity of tho chiefs. A witch doctor "smells out" some person who has caused or is causing sickness or somo evil. Cruel tortures, followed by death, are immediately applied to the unfor tunate victim, and his wives and cat tle taken from him. This is an every day occurrence among the the Kafirs, and urgent representations are very frequently made to the British colon ial authorities upon the subject. - What Otrn Presidents Left.
