very JarRo by way ox compensation for j i no iossol me ana property in mo recent riots, are wholly erroneous. Xo mich demand has been or will bo made. Tho course which has been agreed upon by iho authorities on both aides, and wbich las been followed already in certain localities. is to . appoint a joint commission composed of the British consul and the chief local Chinese authority to take evidence from the claimants as to the loss they have sutiered and to assess the amount. In the case of Wuhu, where the first outbreak took place, the damage is assessed already at $21,000 and thi sum has been paid. In addition .tb viceroy of the province bas undertaken to restore the xnKsion establishment, which was burned to tho ground. The am course of inquiry and assessment will be followed in all the other cases, and as the work is being done with unnsual rapidity by tfte Chinese there is little cause for complaint on this score. But when all the private claims are satislied thero still remains the public, or what may be called the international claims. When the British consular officer. Mr. Margary, was murdered in 1S7T large money compensation was ottered to his family, wbich they refused to accept, but in addition a number of ports were opened by the Chefoo convention to foreign trade, and a very large sum was paid by way of comTen sat ion for the naval preparations of Great Britain. In the present case no peenniary demand of this character will be made. The Chinese will be invited to open the province of Hunan to foreign trade, as it is from this province that all the foreign proclamations and placards have issued, andit isthe hot-bed of hatred andanimosity towards Europeans. A message from Pekm says the Chinese government has decided to send a part ot the Fechili garrison to restore and maintain order in the disturbed localities. This resolution was reached with great reluctance, as the Fechili troops are especially depended upon for the protection of Fekin and the adjoining country. The Chinese government bas become satisfied, however, that there is some danger of a renewal of the old Taiping rebellion, and that vigorous action is necessary to prevent tho movement from becoming formidable. TRIBUTE TO JOHN B1UGIIT. llulotjy by John 3Iorty at the UnTeillng of a Statue to the Dead Statesman. IjOXDox. Oct 21. Mr. John Morley preaided at the ceremony of the unveiling of a fttatuo of John bright, at Rochdale. An enormous crowd bad gathered to pay tribute to the departed orator and statesman. After the unveiling Mr. Morley delivered to an immense audience in the Town Hall an elaborate eulogy upon the great commoner. Ha held that the secret of Bright' s matchless oratory, and of its power ' over the uiaiaea. was the moral fervor beat iu-4 like a pulao under the array of spoken words: warming political objects into moral objects, and sending a current of moral ideas, like the gulf stream, tuiriching political discussion, nourishing it and making it alive. It was during the civil war in America that men saw Hnght's highest and greatest gifts at their best. 'I no force of his vision and his hopes for tho advance of mankind were never more keen and masculine; the etrengtn of his srunmeuts never so massive and so exulted; tho power nt his language never so commanding and so pa thctic as during that mighty struggle. Jtemembering the impression he made on the public opionion of his country at that moment was of eurpreme importance to the relation? between Englaud and the United States. We might well say that Bright was cue of those who have turned tno balance of great events. SETE3TT-FUUR CARS BURNED. Instructive Fire at Hie 31isIsslppl Transfer Platform of the Cotton-Melt Itoad.

ll'KINLEY LAW IS ALL BIGIIT

Argnmentof the Attorney-General in a Suit to Test Its Constitutionality. Omission of the Tobacco Rebate Clause Did ot Invalidate the Act The Sugar Bounty and Reciprocity Sections. Washington, Oct. 24. The brief for the United States in the cases of Boyd, Sutton &. Co.. H. Herman Sternbach fc Co. and Marshall Field & Co.. appellants, vs. the United States, has been prepared by the Attorney-genera). These are the cases m which Unconstitutionality of the McKinley tariff act are involved. They are among the cases set for hearing by tho Supremo Court on the second Monday of November. The appellants contend that the act is unconstitutional because of the omission of the tobacco rebate clause in the bill, as it was signed by the Vice-president after having been agreed to in conference, and because it contains the bounty and reciprocity provisions. Concerning the first contention, the Attorney-general traces the course of a law through its enrollment and signing by the presiding officers of both houses, its approval by tho President, and its deposit with the iSecretarv of State. in whose office it is carefully preserved, in obedience to express statutory injunction. This, he continues, is the ultimate and complete record of the proper and constitutional passage of the law as therein contained, and is the most appropriate evidence of which the court may take judicial notice in considering the existence and contents of the law, and if complete and regular is not impeached by entries upon the legislative journals or other evidence inconsistent therewith. Kven if the enrolled act is but prima facie evidence of the existence and contents, there is no other record by which it may be impeached, except the journals of the two houses, and in the case at bar the journals do not show any discrepancy between the bills as it passed the two houses, and the bill as it was approved. The evidence tending to show such discrepancy relied on by appellants is in parol, and cannot, therefore, be considered by the conrt. Conceding, however, the Attorney-general says, that the tobacco rebate section was omitted from the bill, after its passage and before its approval by the President. as ia claimed by the appellants, this fact wonld not render invalid the remainder of the bill which did pass both houses and was approved by the President, for tho reason that the rebate section and the approved bill were separable and independent of each other. Concerning the incorporation in tho bill of the sugar bounty, the Attorney-general 6ays it was for the purpose of encouraging the production of raw sugar in this country. Counsel, he says, assigned the increase of duty upon woolens, silks and cottons to the necessity of additional revenues to pay the agar bounty. There is no more warrant for saying that the duties herein assessed were provided for by Congress in this act to pay the sugar bounty than there would be for saying the same thing of the duty levied by the bill on any other merchandise. The question of the validity . of bounties is as old as that of the protective tariff, and has been answered in the same way by constant legislation, and an acquiescence of the people, as old ns the Nation itself, has sanctioned both direct and indirect bounties for those industries which are closely allied with national growth and national independence, as a public purpose and as within the power of Con sress. The reciprocity clause, the Attorney-general says, could not have been intended to increase the revenne. Its conditional operation precludes any such idea. The clause was an afterthought. It was not introduced until late in the session, aiier the bill had passed the House and had been discussed in the Senate. It is wholly independent of every other clause in the bill, and its passage or failure to pass had no bearing whatever upon the passage of the remainder. The clause is constitutional, he says. It Is not a delegation of legislative direction by which an alternative provision of existing law may be applicable to the happening of a fact, the existence of which is to be determined by the President. Alleged Under Valuations of Worsteds. New York, Oct 24. The hearing before the board of general appraisers in the alleged under valuations of worsteds bought in Bradford, England, was resumed to-day. The importers side of the question had been presented at length on Thursday, and most of the time to-day was occupied in listening to the testimony of the domestic manufacturers, on. whose representations the invoices were raised - by Appraiser Cooper. . The grounds on which these manufacturers based their opinion that the goods in question had been undervalued were two. In the iirst place they held that it was impossible to produce the goods at the figures quoted. In the second place the domestic manufacturers held that the importers had paid to their buyers excessive commissions, which are not dutiable, and that a corresponding reduction had been made in the purchasing price in order to save the duty on the difference. The importers declare that this manipulation of figures does not occur, and they do actually pay the increased commission. A letter from John A. Tibbitts, United States consul at Bradford, was read. It gave the results of an investigation of the matter ordered by the Treasury Department, and was in the main favorable to the importers' view of the case, as it bore out their assertions that they bought their goods in open market and paid full market prices. The decision of tho board will be sent to the collector early on Monday morning. Movements of Steamers. London, Oct. 24.

Spanish fever has broken out at the Cincinnati stockyards in the herd of Connor Hughes & Cncbton.

Seventeen cattle have already died of the disease and many others are Hick. A novel remedy has been applied to tfi sick ones and with apparent success, it is that of sawing off the horns of the artrctutt animals. This was done by the consent of the bnmane society nnd the judge of the police court. Cattie which had not eaten for many hours began eating within an hour after the operation. The treatment has not been tested long enough to determine the ultimate result of it

1,166 MILES IX 142 HOURS. William Martin Wins in the Bicycle Tournament and Will Get About $3,000. New York, Oct 24- The six-day bicycle tournament at the Madison-sqnaro Garden was formally closed to-night tho contest having lasted the stipulated 142 hours. William Martin, the plucky Irish-American, won the race and broke all records. At least twelve thousand people witnessed the closing hours in the garden. There were several interesting events. Lumsdeu, in an exhibition half mile, made it in l:223-t, beating the world's indoor record oC 1:23 by Prince, at Omaha. Martin at the finish looked better than at any time since Tuesday. The smile of triumph on his face lit up a countenance which for the first time looked anything bnt ugly. All heroes are handsome and Martin certainly felt that way. The admiration with which somo of the enthusiasts regarded the riders was strikingly illustrated about J o'clock. Ihe cheering was continual and floral gifts innumerable were showered upon the fortunate half dozen riders who out of fourteen starters remained in at the finish, home one in a box arose and, unwrapping a $5 bill from a roll, threw it at Martin. Others followed his example, and $1, $2 and $5 bills were showered upon both Martin and Ashinger. Their trainers were kept busy for a few minutes collecting the money. There will probably be a lively quarrel later over the division of the booty. The danger mark was set at 1.300 miles, and each rider got a storm of applause when he passed the mark which insured him a share in the generous aate receipts. Martin, the leader, went over the time about midnight Friday. Ashinger went over in safety a few hours later. The others crossed the l.SOOmile line as follows: Lamb at 1:43 a. m.. Shock at 2:47 P. M., Albert atr:5S. and Jast and thinnest, Boyst, at 8:20 i m. Boyst looked as if he would never get his share of the gate receipts, but the storm of applause he received when he was in safe invigorated him so that he spurted for two laps, and- during the remainder of the night be was cheered and buoyed on. It is probable that Martin, the champion, would have made close to sixteen hundred miles if he had been pushed. He passed Schock's world's record of 1,405 miles this afternoon at 12:23 o'clock. The race was ended at 10:13 o' clock, just 142 hours from the start, with the score as follows: Martin. 1,466 miles. 4 laps: Ashinger. 1,441 miles, 1 lap; Lamb, 1,362 miles; Schock. 1.C2S miles. 5 laps; Albert. 1.S0S miles, 4 laps; Boyst, 1.301 miles, 5 laps. The six prize-winners were brought on to tho track. Martin carried the Irish and United States flags, Ashinger tho United States. Lamb the Union jack, and Schock the German, while Albert and Boyst carred the United States flags. They had a triumphal march around the track while the crowd cheered lustily. Martin slept 15 hours during the week; Ashinger, 32 hours and 2. minutes: Schock. 22 hours and 2 minutes; Lamb, 31 hours and 25 minutes. It is estimated that Martin will receive About S3.CO0; Ashinger. S2.000: Lamb. $1,000; Schock, $S50: Albert, $100, and Boyst, gSOO. Albert acknowledges that his real name is Leonard. He is a member of the Stuyvesant Athletic Club and is Second Lieutenant in Company E, of tho Twelfth Kegiinent. i BREACH-OF-PKOMISE SUIT.

Remarkable Peculiarities or a Portion of the Czar's Subjects LoTe-Maki. Russian Traveler's Letter. "The Cossack in his village lives and works like all other peasants, but he can be distinguished in a crowd of other villagers. Tho Cossacks and their women have straight stalwart, wiry ligures. In comparison with them the other peasants are angular, undergrown and ilabby. "The Cossack's face is beautiful, too, although it is somewhat colorless. But in this regard it is like the face of the average Slav. The Russian countenance is not decorative, so to speak; it is not attractive at the first glance; you mast look at it to see its comeliness. "Look at the Cossack's face and you will find it beautifully oval in form, with large, bold eves of a bright blue color, with a straight sharp nose. The whole expresses nobility and determination. It reminds one of a bold beast of prey. "Tho beast of preycanuoteasily be tamed; it refuses to submit even to the iutiuences of love, and yields with ill grace to its demands. Such is the case with the Cossack, too. T have witnessed a scene of love-making among this people. Tho loving pair stood about thirty feet from ono another. She amused herself by throwing stones at him and he retaliated with clumps of dirt. "They enjoyed themselves seeing each the other's capere at trying to dodge the missiles, and exchanged remarks which would be considered anything but proper In polite society. At last she hit him with a stone on tho shoulder so hard that he staggered. "He uttered an oath and fired a big clump of dirt right in her breast, so that she nearly lost her breath. I thought that she would break his head for that, as he deserved. But she did not She poured out a volley of abuse on him. "He answered in the same strain. I observed thera for some time. They were a counle encaged to be married, so my driver told me. "Their faces when they quarreled burned with wrath. Their eyes Hashed hate. "The Cossack bears himself as if there was always a Kirgheez with a spear before and a Bashkir with a drawn sword behind him. He always appears angry and extremely cautious, as if he was on the battlefield watching his enemy, and careful of an attack from behind. "Coming into contact with a stranger, the Cossack looks at him with a searching, scrutinizing eye; his talk Is like that heard in a cross-examination at the ban his interrogations are catching questions. So they aro all. the men and the women, the young and the old. "The insolence of their young children and aged persons makes a revolting impression. Probably all Russia was in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries as the Cossacks are at present powerful, harsh, insolent, half savage." Two Good I) off Stories. I all Mali Gazette, The latest dog story: Last Friday a handsome St. Bernard presented itself at the gate of Nunhead Cemetery. He was alone, and the gatekeeper tried to prevent him entering, but he batlied him and made his way to the highest and highest-priced part of the cemetery and lay down in a spot which he has occupied almost continual lv ever since. The ceuiotery officials have done all they can to coax the dog away, but without success. He has at night moved to where he might rind water to drink, and possibly food which over-particular beggars may have thrown within the railings. But he has soon gone back to his secluded spot, and there he remains. Hogs are being pressed into the advertising business. In the city there was lately to be seen a little animal wearing a coat on which was inscribed the name and address of a restaurant, and a similar expedient bas been adopted by a hatter in Shoreditch. A purveyor in Finsbury has improved upon that, however, lie sends into the street a tino dog, carrying in his month a stick on which a number of baud-bills are hung, and tho docile creaturo willingly allows the passer-by to take ouo of these bills. A Language Djine Out New York Commercial Advertiser. Welsh is said to bo a fastdyinglanguage. Ten or iifteen years ago children in Wales who could not tell you the way on roads in English are now bjing grown np scarcely able to speak in Welsh. While it has not fallen into utter disuse, a few Welsh ladies with a great fondness for their mother tongue are trying to foster its use by permitting their children to be taught no other language. A lady at Earle's Conrt recently engaged a nnrse for her children who is unable to speak one word of any other language except Welsh. The children are to bear aud speaK nothing else, although there is no one, with the exception of one or two old people who can converse with them within a radius of ten miles. Will they cot be unique little boys and girls when they go out to play and cannot make themselves understood to any other children in the world? And will they be thankful when they are grown up and have acquired English to lind that they can never speak it purely and freely! The AVest African Tarantula. Saturday Review. West Africa possesses the most terrible of spiders, a being so foul and malignant that no reptile compares with it for horror. It dwells in tho woods, but by one chance or another it too often tinds its wty into dwellings. This is called the tarantula. With legs spread, it covers a dinner plate, clothed in pretty fur very like a tabby cat's. Its beak is tho shaDo of a parrot's and the size of a sparrow's, the venom of it fatal to women and children often to strong men, as the natives, say.. Its paws end in suckers, clinging so tight that they must be picked

oft when the legs have been cutaway. They h.ij' that the brute springs a great distance and alights with its suckers together iu a bunch; the frightful beak is inserted quirk as thought, and no human strength can move that hideous excrescence. It eeeins unlikely that a creature which has no claws, but holds on by expelling tho air under its feet, could jump; but. alter studying the tarantula, one incliues to believe any fiendish habit attributed to it. A magnificent, but comparatively harmless, spider of the West coast, almost as big. spins a web twelve feet or more iu diameter, so strong as to inconvenience the traveler who walks into it

A VISIT TO WORTH'S STUDIO. Described by One Who Went in Search or Something Original. New York World. She was riding down town in a horse-car as she told this tale to two friends: "Early this season I went with my husband to the famous establishment of Worth, in Paris, in ordr to have full justice done to my cherished points of beauty. A dignified Frenchwoman, simply but elegantly attired and speaking English perfectly, approached me. " 'I have come lor a costume,' I said. " 4Oui. Madame, 1 shall display something directly.' " No, no,' I returned, hastily, 'I wish an original design something unique but modern Irish gray pop ' "At the word 'original' the entire establishment was thrown into visible commotion. It was as if a magician had spoken. It was the open sesame of the cave of design. Every one was on the qui Vive on the instant The 'chief lady came in. A few hurried words were whispered about A messenger was dispatched, and, after a respectful 'Monsieur will be with you directly,' 1 was led to the throne of state. Quiet, stylish wait-ing-women busied themselves drapiug, laying and hanging upon seductive forms pieces of rich gray poplin of every tint and texture. "Much advised (and to my advantage) I made my selection just as a tall, stronglybuilt blonde man, with an eagle eye and delicate hands, entered the room.

Following close upon the heels of the dictatorcostnmer were three Sky terriers one black, with a yellow ribbon tied in a long Hush bow about its neck; one yellow, clad in rose-colored ribbon; the third pure white, decorated in delicate blue. "Monsieur Worth stepped lightly into the room and paused, like a thistle-down wafted in by a breeze that suddenly ceased. The three dogs spread themselves automatically before his feet, the plump bodies radiating outward, making him appear as if standing behind a rich mat of colored, beribboned fur.

SATURDAY NIGIIT TRAGEDY

Lillie Stevens, a North Indianapolis Woman, Shoots Marearet Koss. Found a Man with Her in the Honsa and Fired at Both The Wound a Fatal One Assailant Gives Herself Up. Mrs. Lillie Stevens, daughter of Samuel Winkle, a night watchman at Crown Hill Cemetery, shot Mrs. Margaret Ross shortly before last midnight in Winkle's house in North Indianapolis. The assailant then took a street car, came to the city and gave herself up to Turnkey Long. She was in a highly excited state of mind, but was able to relate her story. She had dpent the evening, she said, visiting a neighbor, Mrs. Woerner. On returning to her home she found the door of her room locked, but the glass in the door being broken, she lifted the curtain and discovered 31 re. Ross sharing the room with a man whom she (Mrs. Stevens) did not know. She again demanded entrance, but Mrs. Ross made no answer, whereupon the excited woman raised the curtain and fired. When informed by a Journal reporter at the stationhouse that the shot had taken effect she exclaimed, "1 thought 60. Well, let her take her medicine. No such actions as hers shall take place in my father's house. I never supposed ehe was such a woman or fiie should never have been in my house. She was a laboring womau. working out by the week, and I had her only to help me do the work. "Oh, my God!" 6he exclaimed as the realization of her deed 6eemed more strongly to flash upon her, "it is a terrible thing to shoot a person." She 6aid she did not know the man who was in the room with the Ross woman. Sho carried a revolver, ehe said, whenever she went out at night because she had once been assaulted ' and knocked down when returning home. The weapon was a broken,' . cheap S2-caliber atfair, and every chamber except one was loaded when she tnrned it over to the turnkey. Her father, she said, had given her the weapon with instructions to carry it after night She was very anxious that her father be not informed of what had taken place. She said her mother was not at home when the shooting occurred. She could not tell the name of Mrs. Ross's companion. Mrs. Stevens gave her age as twenty-six years, and said she had obtained a divorce from her husband, Samuel Stevens, in 1883. She had three children, bnt all are now dead. There is some doubt of the woman's sanity. On hearing her story Sergeants Kurtz and Miflord drove to North Indianapolis, followed by an ambulance. The news of the tragedy apread like wildfire about the suburb, and a crowd of people soon gathered at the house, where the wounded woman and her paramour, Leon Gresb, were. The bullet' had taken effect in her abdomen, and she was writhing and screaming iu agony. An ambulance was telephoned for and Kregelo & Whitsett responded. The wounded woman was taken to the City Hospital, where the surgeons examined her wound, probing long and unsuccessfully for the bullet. It had entered her abdomen about four inches to the left and below the navel. It is thought to be fatal, and the woman is likely to die at any time. While very drunk and very talkative, she refused to say a word about the shooting. Samuel Winkle, father of Mrs. Stevens, was called up at Crown Hill by telephone at 2:30 o'clock this morning, and informed of the shooting. He said he had left his wife, daughter and Maggie Ross at home when he went to work. Situated out there in his lonely station he could hardly be made to realize that his I daughter had perhaps killed Mrs. Ross. He volunteered information that would tend to show that the excited woman was perhaps not responsible for her deed. "When Lillie was four years old," said he, "she suffered a stroke of paralysis, which left her left side entirely useless for a long time. On recovering from the sickness, we noticed that her conduct was at times queer, and later we found her mind had been affected." The young woman had never received treatment at the asylum, he said. He then confirmed the story of her marriag?, divorce and dead children, as she related it at the station. Mrs. Ross is a well-known character about the suburbs, and is the widow of James Ross. She is, it is said, much addicted to drinking. She has two grown eons employed at Uenner's coal yard on Seventh street. Her companion was Leon Gresb, a young man who is a brother of the grocer of the same name. He was sitting on the side of the bed when the shot was fired and the bullet, evidently intended for him, struck the woman. THROWN FROM A BRIDGE. Policeman Gets Hart in a Midnight Scuffle with Horse-Thieves. Fatrolm an William Caldwell was seriously injured in a struggle with horse thieves at 1 o'clock this morning.

One of the greatest breeding placea in England is the pheasant farms at LIphook in Hampshire, where they are raised in lota of from ten to twenty thousand every year. The proprietors of these farms find their industry a moat profitable one. and are likely to do so as long as royalty exists in England, for on the eve of roj'al visitors daring the sporting season the hosts are all in the habit ot sending to Lipbook for one or two thousand pheasants, as the case may be, in order that their covers may be well stocked when the royal guest takes up his position at a corner of the cover and knocks down the birds one by ono as they rocket before his eyes.
