CHINAMEN JUBILANT

Over the Defeat of American and British Consuls

TO OBTAIN AN OPEN INQUIRY

Into Massacres—l)ebiy Gives Chinese Time

to Prepare For Defense—31 embers of

Commission Appointed to Investigate

Recent Outrages Are Virtually Prison

ers—John Bull Seems Indifferent.

LONDON*, Aug. 24.—A special dispatch from Shanghai says that the members of the commission which recently went to Foo-Chow for Cheng-Tu in order to investigate the recent massacre of missionaries there are virtually prisoners, and that Commander Newell of the United States cruiser Detroit has gone to Cheng-Tu to consult with Mr. J. C. Hixson, the United States consul at Foo-Chow, who is the leading member of the commission, about the landing of marines for his protection and for the protection of other members of the CQinmission.

The Chinese officials are jubilant at the defeats of the American and British consuls to obtain an open inquiry into the massacres. It is also said that the delay is giving the Chinese time to prepare a defense for the prisoners.

NAVAL OFFICERS

Give but Little Credit to Information in the Dispatch.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.—It is said here that "Ku-Cheng" is meant whereever 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 themselves, are inclined to discredit the information in the dispatch.

Acting Secretary McAdoo said it was observe*I that dispatches of this character came by way of London, while another high naval officer said that there was an evident intention 011 the part of Great Britain in the whole Ku-Cheng affair to get the United States government to pull chestnuts out of tho fire, and pointed to the fact that there did not seem to be any anxiety on the part of Cheat Britain to land troops, or to be in undue haste to force an explanation-.

The navy department thought that if Commander Newell had gone on any such mission, the department would have been notified. It was also said that marines are scarcely ever landed at the request of a consul, especially when there is a minister in tiie country. However, should there be trouble of the kind indicated, the United States has a strong force in Asiatic waters. We have seven ships there, some of them good cruisers, our fleet including the Baltimore (flagship), the Charleston, Detroit, Yorktown, Machias,Monocacy and Concord. The last named four are not very formidable, though good fighting ships.

The new cruiser Olympia will leave for the Asiatic station in a very short time, as she is now being coaled at Sah Francisco.

CHINESE OFFICIALS

Receive No Xcws in Kegard to Statements Made. WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.—The presumption among the officials at the Chinese legation is that the protection to the commission referred to is from mob violence. The officials, however, express rlie opinion that ample protection will be afforded by the local authorities without the intervention of assistance from other governments. Besides, 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 legation in regard to the statements in the dispatch aud, in fact, there has been no information received verifying the report of the appointment of a commission of investigation.

HOTEL BLAZE.

The Air Linv Hotel Xcar Toledo lSuriiiid to the Ground. TOLEDO, Aug. 24.—Last night the Air Lino hotel at Air Line junction, about four miles from this city, was discovered in flames. The alarm was turned in after the lire had gained considerable headway, and when the department arrived the entire building was in Hames.

Nearly all the guests escaped with their night clothes and throe were unable to got out of the building. One, Tim McUarty, from Hillsdale, Mich., was taken from the building soon after the arrival of the department, but was badly burned and died before reaching the ground. There are two unknown men in the building, but rheir bodies can not be recovered. The building was a large frame structure and as dry as tinder. •Several small buildings in the vicinity were also burned, and the loss will probably reach $20,000.

To J-'iylit the Millions.

'CLEVELAND, Aug. 24.—An important circular, signed by evei'y presiding elder of the Methodist church in Oiiio, has been sent to the members of that, denomination tlirougliout the state. It calls for united political action ou the part of all Methodists in an effort to elect to tli« next legislature as many members iw possible who will light the saloons. The circular states that "spe- I cial services" will be culled for by the elders in this connection in every Methodist church in Ohio.

Was Appointed by Hayes.

WESTFIKLD, Mass., Aug. 24.—There is now but little doubt that John P. Cowles, whose wife resides in this town, has met death in South America. It is thought that he was killed during one of the insurrections in Grenada. Mr. Cowles was appointed in 1890 by President Hayes, vice consul at Foo-Chow, China, and held that place until nearly the close of President Cleveland's first administration.

Tends to Weaken the Cause. IsHPEMlNj},

Mich., Aug. 24.—The

miners .and meclSauics are leaving here on every train. Many of the strike leaders are gbiiig away' quietly and others prominent in the union contemplate leaving at ah early day. This he* gira of men of influence tends to weak* en the cause of the strikers. It is estimated that between 400 aud 600 men have already left the range.

F.'\* THE WALLER CA3E. Anibassadot- Ktistis Now Carrying Oat Instructions Sent to Him.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.—Officials of the state department were gratified to learn that Ambassador Eustis had made a move in the matter of Waller and had carried out a portion of the instructions which have been sent him. The department has felt that its efforts in this ease have not been as ably seconded at Paris as they might have been and Ambassador Eustis explains in his dispatch that the delay has been due to the absence of the minister of foreign affairs.

The department believes that within a few days the French government will make some response to the requests made for the papers in the case of Mr. Waller. It is recognized at the department that the French government is not only slow, but that the French people are inclined to be nettled at the course pursued by the Americans as shown in the resentment felt because the commander of the Castin had failed to salutd the French at Tarnatave. It is thought that much may be made of this incident by the French in order still further to delay the settlement of the Waller case, but it is probable that the United States authorities will not allow the two things to be coupled, but will insist that the Waller case must be considered solely on its own merits. The United States has not recognized the French protectorate over Madagascar nor has it refused recognition.

Consul Wetter, who is at Tamatave, is only acting consul in one sense, as the United States has never applied for nor received an exequateur from him. In advising the commander of the Castine not- to recognize or salute the French, the department presumes that Mr. Wetter has taken the right course, and knows what he is about, aud will act upon that assumption until something to the contrary is learned. The effect this position of the consul and the commander of the Castine may have upon the Waller claim is altogether speculative.

If French control is not recognized in the island, aud in fact should be denied by the United Scares government, it would define clearly the issue and make the claim of Waller indisputably from an American view, but it is said that such a position by the United States is not necessary to the establishment of the Waller claim, if Mr. "Waller received his concession from a de facto government.

SMALL RIOT IN CHICAGO.

Oiticcrs lientpn Unmercifully When in Discliarge of 'l'iieir Duty. Cm*'Alio, Aug. 21.—A wagon load of police was required yesterday afternoon to disperse a mob that had assaulted and surrounded Detectives Iioss and McCarthy. The officers had been sent, to a clothing house where a strike was in progress to conduct two members of a rival labor organization to a place of safety.

A large crowd was in front of the establishment, and as the officers attempted to leave witli their charges, they were t:et upon and pounded unmercifully. The officers drew their revolvers, but the weapons seemed to have no other effect on the mob than to increase its wrath. A man named Fitzpatrick grappled with Detective McCarthy, aud as iloss attempted I to go the assistance ot his partner he was struck over the eye with a stone in the hands of August -Johnson. Ross fell to the ground, and the mob closed in about him. lie was kicked niinierons times and won id probably have been killed had not the sound of an approaching patroi wagon •which respoaded to a riot Cull frightened the mob away.

Fitzpatrick and Johnson are under arrest.

At Giliett everything is in readiness for the three days' carnival of sport. The vast arena seats 10,000 people, is completed, and surrounding ir, is a small city of refreshment booths aud sideshows.

Usual Secrecy Observed.

LONDON, Aug. 24.—It is reported that the usual secrecy relative to the movements of Emperor William during his visit to Lord Lonsdale at Lowther Castle was due to a hint given to the police that German socialists might attempt to attack the emperor.

The price of wheat has fallen 3--1 cents during the week, recovering a fraction on Thursday, in spite of all eft'orts to hold back supplies from far.us and to encourage buying. Wheat ought to go abroad free.ly at present prices, bur Atlantic exports, Hour ineluded, have been only l.So'.MlO'J for the week, against 2,(5U4,T(i-l:

Corn has also declined 4 J-4 cents, while pork and lard, with accustomed inconsistency, rise a shade as corn declines. It i- a relittf to turn to the great industries, in which the enormous orders placed Suinti weeks or mouths ago .cause phenomenal activity for the season. In iron, notwithstanding some uneasiness because the output has gre.itly increased, heavy purchases by two leading companies have advanced the price ol: Bessemer 50 cents, and a new combination has raised galvanized barbed wire to §1.80, while combinations are being formed in wire rods and common wire and advance in prices expected. Other prices are unchanged, and the new orders for iron aud steel products are not at present large.

In cotton goods the demand is rather more active as the price of the raw material advances, but otherwise the business lias not materially changed and the quotations for print cloths is a shade lower this week.

Sales of wool are again smaller than in 1S92, and for the month thus far have been 16,847,200 pounds, of which 9,121,800 pounds were domestic, against 19,072,950"last year, of which 16,310,350 were domestic and 23,361,400 in the same weeks of 1892, of which 17,105,900 were domestic. But the speculative buyers still hold prices very stiffly, and are supported by the strength in foreign markets. No marked change appears in demand for woolen goods, but there is increasing apprehension shown by agents regarding 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 year.
