Mr. Earle, as the hero, was very impressive, while Mrs. Earle, as "Jug," a little romp, kept the house convulsed with merriment. It is a marked departure from any part she has ever appeared in here before and the audience received her with opsn enthusiasm.

THE CHINESE VERSION

Details of the Recent Outrages at Ku-Cheng.

ALL DUE TO A PECULIARITY.

Objection Made to Houses Built With

Basements—The Banditti Believed They Were Intended to Store Treasures—Rob­

bery the Priucipal Motive of the Kaid. The Latest Chinese Papers. CHICAGO, Aug. 26.—SarnMoy,a prominent Chinese merchant of this city, has received a copy of a Chinese newspaper published at Foo-Chow, which gives four columns of space to the attacks upon the English and American missionaries in Junp. The paper is interesting, because it contains the Chinese version of the affair, including the reasons given for the beginning of the attacks, which hitherto were supposed to have been purely the results of fanaticism.

A free translation of the principal points of the Chinese review of the riots shows that the attack on the mission houses arose firstly from motives of mere robbery, caused by the building of houses with basements, and secondly by the revelation oi' corrupt practices of some of the hangers-on of the mission stations.

According to this paper the missionaries had built houses with basements, something unusual in China. As there were no basements in Ku-Cheng or its vicinity, this peculiarity excited the curiosity of the people.

There is a large camp of banditti near Ku-Cheng, oomposed of the wild tribes and fugitives from justice from the civilized parts of Fo-Kien. These banditti heard of the peculiarities of the construction of the missionary houses, and conceiving that the basements were intended to store treasures, the banditti planned and executed the first raid for the purpose of robbery.

Progress Slow.

LONDON, Aug. 20.—A dispatch to The Times from Shanghai says that the KuCheng inquiry has been proceeding since Wednesday, with all the members of the consular commission present, but progress is slow.

The dispatch adds that a Mohammedan rebellion has broken out in the province of Kansu, and is spreading seriously.

NOT YET SUPPRESSED.

Another Bull Killed in the Arena at Cripple Creek. CRIPPLE CREEK, Colo., Aug. 26.— Another bull was killed in the arena at Gillett yesterday in the presence of 6,000 people and the work was done in the style of Spain and Mexico. Tlie first bull turned into the arena was an exceedingly tame animal, even after the darts were in liini. Ho refused to fight and the multitude cried for a new animal. Arizona Charley appeared to be equally disgusted and headed the band of cowboys that drove the bull into tho arena. j^Tiie next animal made for his life, but its battle was quickly over. Chireta, the king of the arena, in not only Mexico, but in Spain, made two stabs at the animal and then left him practically dead, but the Mexicans with the red cloaks teased the creature and made him dart at them. One came within an ace of losing his life, and there was great excitement in consequence, especially among the little corterie to which the individual belonged. Not a few women fainted.

Murder and Suicide.

Sioux CITY, la., Aug. 2G.—Early Sunday morning in a house of ill-lame occurred probably what is a murder and suicide. Max Noaclc of Marcus, la., was found dead with a bullet wound through his brain. By his side lay Hazel Hammond, an inmate of the house, with a bullet in her head. The doors of the room in which the bodies wer.e found were locked and had to be broken into. The lamp had been overturned, aud the clothing of the dead man had commenced to burn when the tragedy was discovered. The cause of the tragedy is unknown. Noaclc had only been in the city a few weeks, and was but little known.

Excursionists Fatally Injured. INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 2tJ.—James Rouin and Edward Schuessler went to Cedar lake yesterday on a Motion excursion. When near Radner the men were playfully scuftimg on the platform when they were thrown from the train and fatally injured. The bones of their bodies were broken and protruded through the flesh. They were brought to this city, to their homes, and both will die. Schuessler is unmarried, while Rouin has a family.

Spreading Jlails Cau«dii Wreck. MiLUfiKSKUKO, O., Aug. 26.—A bad wreck occurred on the Cleveland, Akron and Colnmbus railway near here yesterday. Spreading rails threw one car of a through freight off the track, and 11 cars were piled in the ditch. The track was blocked all day. Three tramps who were riding on the train have not been seen since the wreck and it is believed they tire buried under the debris.

Two People Fatally Burned. MENOMINEE, Mich., Aug. 20.—Fire caught in a bed at a Michigan avenue boarding house yesterday afternoon kept by John Anderson, and his two boys, John and Matthew, aged 7 and 5 years, were so badly burned that both will die. The father was severely burned in rescuing the children. The mother jubmed from a second story window with a little babe and fractured one of her limbs.
