WItOTMW Clrtnese. 1 loWstlflating Jomruilb'oih'tainv.l. et nro ED. Chinese Official. Are Jul>n<|(nt (pPNlie feat of a'ul. tula In Obtaining an Open Inquiry—llls Said That Many Chine.e ConvertsWere Butchered Near Foo Chow. ®fe» from Foo Chow to Chong Tu, in order to investigate tha xecent massacre of missionartiffi ers and that Commander Newell of the United States cruiser Detroit has mficessmsat Foo Chow, who is the leading ment- * bur*of ~tlm xitiiTi 1 1itvgton iabo*tiT~~TTi e ing of marines for his protection and of the commission. It is said that many Chinese converts were butchered when the American mission outeide Foo Chow was Attacked and the chapel and school wrecked by an infuriated mob. ”"Tfis dispatcir'ad.ts'that'’il£o'lßfilnese' officials are jubilant; at the defeats of the American and JBritish consuls to obtaih ah 'open' 'inquiry into fhd ihWacrbs'.' ’ It is also said that the delay U ng |he Cliinese time to prepare a defense for the prisoners. • KU' CHENG THE PLACE. Naval Officer.*, Howev.-r, Inclined to Discredit the News. Washington, Aug. 24.—1 tis said here that "Kh Cheng” is meant whenever ‘ “Cheng Tu” is used in the- London dispatch, as Cheng Tu iS the scene of the June riots and is 1,400 miles from Foo Chow. Naval officers, though without information theinselves, are inclined to discredit the news that the commissioners are prisoners. The presumption among the officials at the Chinese legation is that the protection to thb coinmission referred to is from mob violence. The officials, however, express the opinion that ample protection will be afforded by the local authorities without the intervention or assistance from other governments. Be- ! sides, it is not believed at the legation that the central government at Pekin would permit the landing of marines at the place where the investigation is to be conducted. There is, however, no news at the Chinese legation in regard to the statements in the dispatch and, ' in fact, there has been no information received verifying the report of the appointment of a commission of investigation. ■■ PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT. Caban Patriots Provide For a Constitution Similar to Ours. ! Philadelphia, Aug. 24.—News has been received in this city that a complete government has been formed by the Cuban insurgents at Najasa by a conference of the delegates from all five of the provinces on the island. The conference was presided over by (general Maceo, and other leaders present were Antonio Tuilo, Carilo and Gomez. A constitution was adopted which, because of its liberal provisions, was enthusiastically received by all the armies in the field to whom it was read. The instrument provides for five states in Cuba, each to have charge of its local affairs under a local’governor. The general government of the islaaid will be vested in a president; and cabinet and two houses similar to tfyose of this country. Najasa will be the capital because it is well situated for defense.

The hole .was 7 feet deep, 2& inches in diameter,at the top and 22 at the bottom, so that Mrs. Lewis, whose arms were pinioned at her sides, was unable to relieve the weight resting oh her head. She remained in this position for nearly half an hour, when a passer-by happened’ to hear her groans and pulled her out. She was then unable to stand and soon lapsed into unconsciousnes, in which condition she has remained nearly ever since. Her nervous system is greatly shattered by the accident, arid it is feared her brain or spine may also hhiye been injured by the fall.

Can you describe anything worse than a young person dying by inches with consumption, cut bi! in the blOotn of youth, when bright prospects of happiness and prosperity are before them. A vefy sad death indeed. Is it not a fact that most cases of this kind are brought on by a cough, only slightat first, then more violent followed by night sweats and a general breaking down of the entire system. These are cases in which people are toblame. why not check this this slight cough, Dt. Marshall’s Lung Syrup is guaranteed te cure. It will prevent consumption. Try it before it is too late.

ffiSIXESS CONDITIONS. I ilMiorts on Trade Matters by Dun X--1 t and Bradstreet’s. 'price OF WHEAT LOWER. *Won *nd W...1 sh?t off tee C: m«r Steel Advancing In Spite of the Heavy Output—Export* of Wheat Still Show a Slulpkage. ft" 1 *1 i Ang - I CcfiJ Weekly (tgule to- J day, day: The voltfine of business shrinks, as is natural in August, and usual because transactions in July were somewhat inflated. Some industries are doinj< more than ever before in August, in others, although much depends on than speculators on either side ?ire disposed to admit. Industrial troubles have not entirely ceased, but during the. I past week have become much less threatening. The price of wheat has fallen 3% cents during week, ret ovisringa fraction oh Thursday, in spite of all efforts to tyfiUl bahk supplies.. AtyfiAt ought to go abroad freely at present prices, but AtI lantic exports have bcen only 1,852,602 . bushels for the week against 2,004,764 ; last year. Impressive stories of short. I crops abroad have little weight, in the ■ ptefience of such a record, and the small foreign purchases prove more effective ■ than the withholding! of wheat by western farmers. Naturally the 57 cent wheat of the Pacific coast still goes forward freely in placri of the Atlantic.supplies. Corn has also declined 4*4 cents, while pork and lard, with accustomed inconsistency, rise a shade ,as corn de-: clines. It is a relief to turn to the great industries, in which the enormous orders placed some weeks or months ago cause phenomenal activity for the season. In iron, notwithstanding some uneasiness because the output has greatly increased, heavy purchases by two leading companies have advanced the price of Bessemer 50 cents. In cotton goods the demand is rather more active as the price of the raw material advances, but otherwise the busi■ness hits in >t>. materially changed, and the quotation for print cloth is a shade lower this week. No -marked change appears in demand for woolen goods, but there is increasing apprehension shown by agents re- ; garding the extensive sales of foreign woolens. Failures for the week have been 222 in the United States against 234 last year, and 43 in Canada against 33 last yedr, Bmd.trei l’s Review. New York. Aug. 24.—Bradstreet’s to- ’ day says: General trade throughout i the east, south, southwest anq on the Pacific coast is no larger in volume. In I fact at several southern and eastern centers it is reported rather more quiet than a week ago. At western and central western points, with so:ne excep- ’ tions, signs are conspicuous of the favorable influence on business of the prospectively enormous corn crop and the very Ihrge harvest of spring, wheat. At the east stimulating influences are found in continued activity in leading industrial lines, notably iron and steeL It is estimated that the Louisiana rice crop will amount to 1,500,000 bags. General trade throughout the south is practically waiting “until the cotton begins to move.” Exports of wheat from both coasts of the United States and from Montreal this week have increased again, for the fifth week in succession, amounting to 8,389,000 bushels, against 1,821,000 bushels last week. CRASH OF AN AEROLITE. Exploded In • the Sky .With a Report Louder Than Thunder. Middletown, N. Y., Aug. 24.—During a rainstorm here there chine a crash which awoke nine-tenths of the .population. It was one explosion, and not like the usual rumble of thunder. It was learned that the report was caused by the explosion of an aerolite. Milo Smith of this city and three daughters of Orin ' Van Gordon of Dingmans were nearing after a long "drive, when the horses stopped suddenly and trembled wkli fear. At the same time a great ball of fire, with a train of light following it, came up over the southern horizon, and passed swiftly to the east. Apparently when between Middletown and Mechanicstown the ball exploded, breaking into four parts, which went sailing in as many directions, but soon ceqsed to gi»e forth light. Mr. Smith says the report was the loudest he ever heard, and seemed fairly to shake the earth. He estimated that the aerolite was in view at least two minutes before the explosion sounded. Says the Northern Pacific Whs Robbed. Seattle, Aug, 24.—The feature of yesterday’s proceedings in the Northern Pacific receivership case was the two hours’ address of ex-Senator Sariders of Montaria, counsel for the company. While only the question of j urisdietkm has tlms far been raised in the case. Senders went into the history of Villard's scheme by which, he said, the Northern Pacific was robbed of thousands of dollars which should have gone to those who built the road. Heavy Rain at Chicago. ■ Chicago; Aug. 24.—The heaviest rain storm that has visited Chicago for some tjmc began late yesterday .at"terpoon and continued all night.
