Towns and Cities Submerged by the Floods of the Yellow River In China. Appeal Made Through Cnited States Consul Fowler For Corn and Money. Washington, March 25. —Citizens of i the United States residing in Che Foo, China, have made an earnest appeal, through Consul Fowler, at Che Foo, to j the charitable in America and elsewhere ! on behalf of the sufferers from the ap- ; palling Yellow river floods of this year. | These floods have been described by the natives as “China’s sorrow” and the petitioners state that never before was the distress so great and heartrending i as now. The most conservative estimates place the number of starving at 2,000,000 and time and the increasing | cold weather will undoubtedly greatly augment the distress. The petitioners say that they arel daily, almost hourly, in receipt of re-< ports from their countrymen in the in- j tenor depicting the condition of the | famine refugees; hundreds of villages are submerged, cities surrounded by water; homes, furniture, clothing—in fact, everything is under water or de- , stroyed. The natives themselves are liv-1 iug in straw lints. Many have absolutely no shelter from the winter’s cold and snow, subsisting on bark, willow twigs, roots, etc. The summer's crops have been a failure, the seed for next spring's sowing is gone, and there is nothing for these starving millions to hope for in the future. We ask for money to be sent to the United States consul here, with which food, clothing and stock can be bought for the sufferers, aud we guarantee a strict accounting for every dollar thus received. Shan Tung is peculiarly in- ] terestiug to American merchants as the 1 best market for their products in all! China; to the missionaries because there I are five denominations represented com- ■ prising 118 adults, scattered all over j this vast province, and to whom we ■ look to assist us in distributing such relief as we may receive. Probably in nc other place in the world, aud probably I not in this g-meration has there been so much suffering as is now being endured j in Shan Tung. The natives are doing ' all in their power: one firm in Che Foo I has contributed the equivalent of $70,000 in cash and 1,000 bag of corn aud all classes are cotributing, but let us not forget that there are 2,000,000 starving.” Large Quantities of Gold Coming In- | to Dawson City. Seattle, Wash., March 28.—H. Miller aud Thomas Scott, who arrived yester- I day from Dawson, claim to have made the trip from Dawson to Skagway in 10 days, which breaks the record by 48 hours. They report a great deal of gold coming into Dawson from the various creeks, indicating that this will be the greatest gold year the Klondike has ever seen. They estimate the yield at $15,000,000. Gold Run creek and the French 1 gulch bench claims arc yielding well. ' Some tans on Gold Run vield as high as ’ $175. One claim on French gulch lias [ turned out $70,000. “Bull quartz” has been found on the | Fisher Gold hill claim near Dawson. A I nugget weighing seven pounds was dug up. It contained about S2OO in gold. ■ The discovery is regarded as further', proof of the quartz origin of Klondike I gold, aud it has revived the search for i the mother lode. Advices from the Porcupine district say that gravel on Alder creek is turning out S4O per day for every man at work. The discovery of the creek is credited to the Paddock brothers and ' Calhoun brothers of Malone, N. Y. EX-GOVERNOR PIERPONT Remains of the Father of West Vir- | ginia Taken to Fairmount. Pittsburg, March 27. —Services over I the remains of ex-Governor Francis Harrison Pierpont, war governor of the loyal Virginians and father of West Virginia, were held yesterday afternoon at the residence of his daughter, Mrs. W. H. Siviter, on Dithridge street, Oakland, where the famous old character passed peacefully away last Friday evening. Hundreds of friends were there to pay the tribute of their presence to the distinguished dead. The body was removed today to Fairmount. W. Va. Kid McCoy Hurt His Shoulder. New York, March 28.—William A. Brady, manager of Kid McCoy, has notified Tom O’Rourke, mauager of Sharkey, that the Sharkey - McCoy match would have to be declared off temporarily, as McCoy hurt his shoulder in his recent fight with Choynski. McCoy does not feel physically prepared to meet Sharkey, Brady says. He wishes to take on more weight before meeting the sailor.

AMERICAN VICTORY GENERAL WHEATON DRIVING THE FILIPINOS LIKE SHEEP. Captures Malinta aud the Filipino Insurgents Flee From Malabon, Burning the City and Falling Baek Toward Malolos—Col. Egbert Killed. Manila, March 27. —11:15 a. in.—The Americans this morning found the important town of Polo aud a number of small villages west of the railroad deserted aud burning. They are advancing along the railroad. The Americans have advanced along i the line of the Dagupan railroad driving the Filipinos from Maliuto and New Canayau, where there were 3,000 inhabitants. Last night the brigades of General Harrison Gray Otis and General Hale encamped in the enemy's trenches at New Canavan and that of General Wheaton at Malinta. Manila, March 27.—The Filipinos are J burning their stronghold at Malabon and their forces are fleeing from the I city in the direction of Malolos. General MacArthur’s division is pushi ing toward Malabon. The insurgents will make their last j stand probably at Malolos. General Wheaton’s brigade formed a junction with the remainder of General j MacArthur’s division at Malinta, and the two, leaving General Wheaton there, marched along the railroad to New i Canayay. This place was fortified, and for 300 yards from it there were trenches i on each side of the track. These were | taken possession of by the American j troops. American loss, seven killed and ■ 25 wounded. The American casualties yesterday ■ were much lighter than those of Satur- ; day, the total losses thus far reported ! since the engagement commenced being j 45 killed and 145 wounded. General Wheaton entered Malinta, which is a small village of huts, yester- ; day afternoon. The United States gunboat Helena and other gunboats have been shelling I Malabon, about a mile northwest of Caj loocan, for several hours. The insurgents made a fierce resistance to the American advance up the railroad at Malinta. In addition to the I fatal wounding of Colonel Egbert, sevi eral men of the Twenty-second infantry I and several of the Oregon and Kansas regiments were killed. Malabon Burned by Enemy. Evidently anticipating a bombardment by the fleet, 1,000 rebels vacated Mala- | bon Saturday night, leaving a few to | i burn the town. General Wheaton’s i brigade, composed of the Second Oregon regiment and the Twenty-second and Third infantry, stretched out along the ' railroad from Caloocan to the Tuliahan I river, was powerless to prevent the . j withdrawal, owing to the natural ob- , stacles and to the strong opposition. A column of smoke at daybreak was the I first intimation of the enemy’s intentions, but others followed at various , points, all soon blending in a dense ; balloon-shaped cloud. The flames of the burning ricemills and large build- | ings could be plainly seen from Caloocan despite the strong sunlight. By 11 o’clock in the morning the only building of importance not destroyed in the center of the town was a large stone church, but even at noon fresh fires i were started among the natives' huts in I the outskirts of Malabon, although the general exodus took place much earlier. Many of the rebels sought refuge in the I suburbs Navotas and Casag, or were driven inland by the shells of the Helena, Calloa, Ningdapan and Laguna de Bay. Unable to Advance. In the meantime General Wheaton’s brigade held the railroad to the river, but was unable either to repair the bridge, which had been destroyed by the enemy, or to advance, owing to the opposition aud the hills on the other side. The calculations of both General Hale and General Harrison Gray Otis, whose i brigades constituted General MacArI thur’s division, were much interfered i with by the character of the country in I front of both, and the enemy was able ■ to take advantage of this, so that the operations against Novaliches and Polo were delayed, though the right wing of the division swung out, sweeping the in ! a northwesterly direction. General Wheaton’s headquarters I Saturday night was a half-mile south |of the river on the railroad. The oppo- j site bank was protected by a blockhouse , and intrenchments. Occasionally artillery and infantry j fired across the stream. Finally the I engines moved a construction train up ! to the bridge, the iron frame work of 1 which remained, and began to replace ! the floor. While this was going on the Second i Oregon regiment crossed the river on | the left and the Twenty-second on the I right, with four companies of the Twen- ■ ty-third infantry supporting the latter • i regiment. A rising clear ground stretched away a distance of half a mile . ■ to Malinta, situated on its crest. Fired From Trenches. In front of the village were strong ■ Filipino intrenchments, but no Filipinos were to be seen. Apparently they had fled. The Twenty-second regiment approached diagonally, with General Wheaton aud his staff close behind, and scouts closely observing the ground. When the Americans were within about 300 yards of the intrenchments, the Filipinos suddenly volleyed heavily. The Twenty-second, which was holding . the center, suffered considerably, but t j with the Oregons on the left and the . i Kansans on the right in the woods, the ; fighting was kept up for half an hour, - the Twenty-second infantry advancing , up the slope, through the thick grass, s under the hottest fire. , General Wheaton and his staff were all the time under a rain of bullets. Col

onel Egbert, who was in the thickest of the fighting, was shot in the abdomen. He was placed on a stretcher and an attempt was made to carry him to the cars, but he died on the way. It was a most affecting scene. General NN heaton, baring his head, said: “You have done nobly.” Colonel Egbert gasped in reply: “I must die: lam too old. No Filipinos were found in the trenches. HOMEWARD BOUND President McKinley and Party Leave Thomasville. Thomasville, Ga., March 28. —President and Mrs McKinley. N ice President aud Mrs. Hobart, Postmaster General Emory Smith, Dr. Rixcy, Assistant Secretary Cortelyou and Stenographer Barnes left last evening for Washington where they will arrive early tonight. Miss Ruth Hanna drove the president to the station where a crowd of about 2,000 persons had congregated. Senator Hanna was the last to bid the president goodbye. The special train was run just outside the station so the people could gather around the rear platform upon which the president, Mrs. McKinley and Vice President Hobart appeared and bowed their acknowledgments. Some, one called tor three cheers for McKinley and then the president made a few remarks saying: “We would rather be coming to Thomasville than departing from it. We have had a most restful and enjoyable time and thank you all over and over again for your kind courtesies and your considerate hospitality. NVe bid you goodbye most regretfully.” GOVERNOR OF KENTUCKY Report That He Will Resign and Remove From Kentucky. Frankfort, Ky.. March 25. —The report is current that Governor William O. Bradley will resign his office as chief executive of Kentucky within the next few months. Governor Bradley is away from the city, but it is an open secret that he is thoroughly disgusted with Kentucky polities, and purposes locating in either New York, Chicago or San Francisco as soon as he leaves the gubernatorial chair. P fore his return to the state capital he will visit San Francisco, where he has ~ flattering opportunity to engage in the practice of law. He is out of harmony with his party, and says the people of Kentucky could not present him the office of governor again on a silver waiter. His term of office expires next December, and it is said that Governor Bradley will resign in order to compliment his old friend and coworker in politics, Lieutenant Governor NVorthingtou, by allowing him to become governor during the unexpired term.

CITY ELECTIONS lowa Decided Merely Local Issues. Few- Sharp Contests. Des Moines, la., March 28. —Municipal elections xvere held yesterday in nearly all the cities of the state, the exceptions being those of the first class and those with special charters. There were very few .sharp contests and political lines were not closely drawn, the issues being merely local. At Newton and Atlantic the Republicans made large gains, electing their entire ticket. Republicans were successful at lowa City, Cedar Falls, Grinnell and Webster City. At Independence Democrats elected mayor; Republicans four out of five aidermen. Republicans of Oskaloosa won the first municipal fight in 10 years. Ottumwa elected a Democratic mayor, the Republicans getting the other offices.

PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEES < Prediction by ex-Congressman Lewis of Washington. Atlanta, Ga., March 28.—Congress- , man James Hamilton Lewis of Wash- j ington passed through Atlanta yesterday i on his way home from Havana. Mr. Lewis says he believes the Republicans ' will put up McKinley and Roosevelt for the next campaign, and the Democratic ticket, he thinks will read, "Bryan and Schley. For chairman of Republican national committee Mr. Lewis believes Mark Hanna is slated, while Senator Gorman will fill a like position for the Democrats. CELEBRATED MISSIONARY Rev. John MacKenzie Reported Dead In West South Africa. London, March 25.—A dispatch from Kimberley, in Griquiland, West South Africa, reports the death of the famous missionary, Rev. John MacKenzie. Mr. MacKenzie worked in the same sphere as Dr. David Livington and Dr. Moffat, the former of xvhom died in 1873 and the latter 10 years later. He preceded Cecil Rhodes as deputy commissioner of Bechuanaland and fought for the Buchuan native against the immigrant Boers. Barnnitn Murder. Cincinnati, March 27. — Last night Richard A. Roberts, a barroom porter, ran a knife into the throat of Charles Prietsch, a mechanical draughtsman, and turned the knife around in the wound. Death was instantaneous. Roberts was arrested. They had disagreed about throwing dice. To Succeed Egbert. Washington, March 28.—The vacancy i in the colonelcy of the Twenty-second I infantry, caused by Colonel Egbert’s ' death, will be filled by the promotion of Lieutenant Colonel John W. French of I the Twenty-third infantry, who is now I with that regiment in the field in the . Philippines. Armor Piercing Shells. Paris, March 28. —A dispatch to The Eclair from Toulon says that the experil ments made there with armor piercing j shell* have conclusively demonstrated the possibility of a shell piercing a warship’s armor and exploding inside the ship.
