two days previons to the trouble, but bad riot yet time to move out of the yamen. tbao was staying in trie examination balL When tbo insurgent.", Hushed with success, made s complete circuit around the city, they wero Diet with a stubborn resistance on the part of the deputy magistrate. Tux, who raised a volunteer force of about ono thousand strong and repulsed cTory attempt to t-kf tho wall by assault. For threo days tbo city ncld out, while local roughs wero persistently spreading the rumor among tbe inhabitants that the city cannons could not be fired, and that the guns of the besiegers were most deadly in ellect. The people were terribly scared, and at the same time provisions rau short. Although agitated by fear and harassed by hunger, the- defenders stood nobly to their post in the desperate hopo of an early rescue by imperial troops. The insurgents seized a favorable moment to send a largo force, nnder cover of their own fire, to storm tho city. The walls were iow and were easily scaled. A bloody struggle ensued, resulting in favor of the attacking party. The leader was the first one to leap orer, and. rushing straight to the magistrate's yamen. he first liberated all the prisoners, and then searched for the mag- ' istrate. Cbon, and bis family, but without success, as he and his fauiily were conveyed m safety out of the city by a certain master of art 8. who cut a road through the encircling enemy. Tho deputy magistrate was last seen lighting hand to hand against overwhelming odds. Nothing is known of bis fatu. but hi wretched family was caDtured and taken to the mountains. Tho Uigber authorities dispatched one thousand jnluier to the place. Tbo latest report is that the insurgents have left tbe city, and are encamped on the hill. The Council Overruled by a Woman. London. Dec; 10. Dispatches from I'ekin state that owJn to the delay that occurred in getting the Mongolian tribes together, tho plan of Li Hun? Chan?, tho Viceroy, to surround the rebels, has not proved a success. Another battle has been fought, however, between tho imperial troops and the rebels and the latter were routed and dispersed. The battle is believed to bo the ono concerning which tho Chineso legation hero received advices yesterday stating that the insurgents had suilered a most crushing defeat and that their annihilation was a question of only a short time. To-day's dispatches state that the Emperor oi China has taken up the study of the English language. When it was anXiounceti that he was to bo thoroughly instructed in that tongue the Tsung Li Y amen (council of state) opposed the idea to tlm full extent of its powers Then occurred an instance of the "petticoat government, n which many claim will ultimately result in tho overthrow of the Manchu dynasty. Tho dowager Empress took a hand in the matter and overruled tho Tsung Li Yamen. and the young Emperor is therefore, wrestling with tho intricacies of the English tonene. Li Hung Chant; has ordered the punishment of all who were engaged in tho mamere of native Christians at Tien Tsin. and eeveral rioters have beeh captured and executed, the I'ekin government having granted leavo for immediate beheading in all such cases. Europeans at Shanghai aro convinced that the anti-Christian riots are caused in many, if not all. cases by tho hatred whicnthe npperjclassof Chinese bear toward the foreigners, this hatred being grounded on jealousy of foreign intelligence and influence. The literati are the promoters of tbe disturbances by their appeals to the ignorance of the people with stories about babes being killed and their eyes and lungs taken out for medicine. It is said that at Sanchi the murderers of the Belgian and native Christians carried about tbe mutilated "body of a child in order to further excite the fury of tho populace. The body was that of a child of Christian parents brutally killed by the rioters themselves. It served the purpose of exciting the people, and urging them on to further horrors and cruelties. This belief in the child-slaying propensity of tho Christians appears to prevail everywhere that tho missionaries have penetrated. The secret societies, it is asserted by the missionaries, are not aimed so much at foreigners a at the Chinese government, but the mandarins and literati try to give the impression to Europoans that the atrocities for which they are themselves responsible wero perpetrated by the aocitics.

GlINUKAX. FOREIGN NEWS. A French Statesman Who Is Strongly Opposed to n Alliance vltli IL'ihuIh. Pakis, Dec. 10. Senator Hartholemy Saint Ililaire, ex-Minister of Foreign Affairs. said to-day: "I am distinctly opposed to this attempt to draw France and Kussia into an alliance. lean discover no common bond of union between tbe most enlightened people of Europe and a country that is almost eastern in its barbarity. The prevalent idea in France is that this alliance will enable her to regain the lost provinces, while she will help Kussia to lay Landson Constantinople, lint while Kussia will not fail to seize every opportunity of consolidating and increasing her empire, she would not embroil herself with Europe in order to please France, and, whn satisfied, would repndiute any claims the latter power might Lave on her. Having made herself most formidable by the aid of France, Kussia would not hesitate even to attack France if site thouaht .she would advance her own iuierests by doing so. In xny opinion the most natural and proiirnble alliance for France would be one with England." Survey for the Hawaiian Cnbln. Honolulu, Hawaii. Nov. 25. The United States steamer Albatross arrived here on the 21st inst., and is expected to remain in port about two weeks, when she will make a second survey of the proposed cable route on her retnrn trip to San Francisco. Lientenant Tanner says a preliminary survey along eight hundred and fifty miles of the coast of California has been made, with a view of finding the best starting point for the cable. In his opinion Salinas Landing, on th Day of Monterey, would be the most suitable. Ho further states that there is no reason why. in his opinion, the cable could not be laid. There would be several difficulties to overcome, but only snch as are usual in laying deep-sea cables. The greatest depth reached was 3,100 fathoms, the average depth about 2,500. About 10 Foundings havo been taken on the way to the islands, the last one being otf" Diamond Head, where a deprhof :0 fathoms was found.

The government appears to have put otT its apathy and is taking measures to prevent an emeute in the city. Large bodies of heavily armed policemen are patrolling the streets, and though there are signs of disquiet on every side there has been no overt act on the part of the malcontents in the city. Advices from Campos, a city of 40.030 inhabitants, in the province of Iiio Janeiro, and 155 miles northeast of this city, show that at that place thero had been open revolt against the government. A conflict occurred there on Tuesday last between government troops and a body of insurgents. The advices are not clear as to which sido won the victory, but it is reported that ten men wore killed aud thirty wound oil. The Coming Papal Consistory. IJomk, Dee. 10.

Sixteen years ago tho son of a poor peasant living in the county of which Wieselburg is the capital, went to America. Thero by industry he gradually saved no about $o,000 in American money. Resolving to return to his father's home, tho son on his way changed his money into the compact form of English sovereigns, of which he bad six hundred. It was late when ho arrived at his father's house. He did not immediately make himself known, but asked for hospitality as a stranger. The motner was not there at tho moment, but tho father recognized his son through the disguise of years and embraced him. Tbo son being weary, retired to rest, after telling his father of the little fortune he had brought home with him. The son had the money in a bag near his bed. The father did nottell the mother when eho came home of who the stranger was, resolving to wait until morning and then let the sou reveal himself, to the joy and surprise of the mother.

His cry of anguish and horror aroused the wife, who had expected to find her husband a ready accomplice in concealing the crime for the sake of the money. The father gasped oat who the victim was.

An accident occurred here to-day by which a daring parachutist met a most horrible death in the sight of many persons. Tho victim was Lieutenant Mansfield, who had gained quite a reputation by his thrilling jumps from a balloon at a great altitude. Recently, in the presence of a large crowd, he made a balloon ascension and performed one of his wonderful feats. When be had reached the height of eleven thousand feet. Mansfield grasped his parachute and jumped from the car. The machine worked perfectly, and the daring aerouant reached tbe ground in safety, amid the cheers of the spectators, who had watched his every movement with nervons anxiety. He' subsequently announced that he would make another jump from a still sreatsr height, and fixed coon to-day as tho date for his risky experiment. The occasion took place at Victoria Gardens, where an immense crowd had assembled. Among tbe spectators was his Excellency, Lord Harris. Tho preparations for the ascent were soon completed, and at a signal from tbo aeronaut tho guy ropes wero cut and the balloon was liberated amid a storm of cheering. When freod from the restraining ropes the huge air-ship shot upward with lightning-like velocity. Tho cheering at once ceased, as the crowd instantly perceived that something was wrong. JTbe balloon had only reached a height of about four hundred feet when it burst with a loud and startling explosion, and immediately began to fall to the earth. Mansfield made the most desperate efforts to diseneage the parachuto from the collapsed balloon, but it had become entangled in the ropes, and the. unfortunate man was soon forced to release his hold. The horritied spectators uttered cries, of dismay as they saw his body come twirling towards them, aud some of the women fainted at the terrible sight. Mansiield struck the ground with terrible force and was instantly killed, his body being crushed and mangled in a terrible manner. An investigation into the caue of the accident revealed tho fact that in a previous descent the balloon had fallen into the sea and been somewhat damaged, and that the break then sustained had been improperly repaired, with the fatal result related.

Novel Proposition Submitted to the Convention of State Oraniz&tioKS. Chicago, Dec 10. A novel proposition was put forth at to day?s session of the joint convention of tho Board of Control and representatives of State world's fair organizations. The originator. was Vicepresident De Youne, of tho national commission. Ho wishes Congress to pass a law authorizing . the coinage of something which will at the same time bo legal tender and a souvenir of the Columbian Exposition. He offered the following: Kesolved, That it Is the sense of the convention of tho representatives of the boards of the various States of this Union that the government of the United States be requested, in commemoration of the Columbian exposition and the event It celebrates, to coin through its uduU pieces of the value of 50 cents. This being the prooahlo price of admission these coins can be used for that purpose and will make valuable souvenirs. The couiponeut parts of said coin to be of gold nnd 6ilver iu ratio. That 5.000,000 bo struck and they be uiutie lejcal tenders. Kesolved, 'that the secretary of this meeting be requested to forward this resolution to Contrressuisn fcprtnjrer, of Illinois, with a request that he introduce such a bill and present this resolution to Congress. "Now." said Mr. De Yountr. "I don't want you to jump into this matter without duo consideration of it. so 1 move that it be read for information and then ordered brought up for a discussion at our next session." This action was taken. The greater remaining portion of tho day was occupied in reports of progress from the various States, a visit to tho grounds, and an address by Mrs. Palmer. Thero was a protest from a lew of the States, including Missouri, on the dilatory action of the authorities in awarding locations so that work could be commenced on the State buildings. It is almost a foregone conclusion that the national board of control will refuse to concur with the local llnauco committee in the plan to ask Congress for an appropriation instead of a loan. All this afternoon the two bodies were closeted together on the subject. To-morrow another discussion of the momentous atlair will be hold.

IN THE HANDS OF A RECEIVER. Cravt-fordsville Wter- Work a Stock Appears to Have Been Very Largely "Watered. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Crawfordsvii.le, Ind., Dec. 10. The contest over the appointment of a receiver for the Crawfordsville Water-works Company has been decided by Judge Harney, and ho has appointed Judge A. D. Thomas as receiver, whose duty it will be to collect pay for any stock not paid for, to satisfy a claim of $4,015, with interest, in favor of James 11. Clow & Son, of Chicago. It seems that the water-works plp.nt was put in on borrowed capital. John G. Brown; of this city, and IL 13. F. Peirce and E. 13. Martindale, of Indianapolis, hied articles of association and formed the company with an original capital stock of $100,000. as fixed in the artioles of incorporation. This amount was afterwards increased by order of the board of directors to S-00.000. Prown, Peirce and Martindale each subscribed to the articles of incorporation for $1,000 of stock. They were the only stockholders, and it is claimed that this was the only part of the $200,000 stock ever subscribed and paid for. Afterwards a mortgage was executed on tho plant to the American Eoan and Trust Company, of New York, to secure the company's bonds to tbe amount of $150,000. These bonds and $rj7,000 of stock in the company wero all turned over to Comegys & Lewis, of New York, for building the works, and it is aliened that a large part of the stock was afterwards returned to llrown. Peirce and Martindale. and that the $-0,000 subscribed by these three men was paid up, as alleged, by services rendered in organizing the company. After the original plant was pnt in J. D. Clow A: Son furnished all tho material for an extension of tbe plant, for which no payment has ever been made. They recovered judgment for it, and now seek, through a receiver, to collect from Brown, Peirce and Martiudale. and other stockholders, the amount of their claim, on the theory that no stock has ever been paid for, that the alleged payment was simulated. and that the parties holding certificates are liable for this debt. Tho entire plant in the meantime lias been sold by the United States marshal to Coflin fc Stanton, of New York, for S1-0.0D0. and is at present consolidated with the electric-light and gas company. The bond of the receiver was placed at 10,000, and if ho qualities he will sue to collect pay for this alleged unpaid stock, and tbe fight will bo lively from now on. The case will attract attention, as it will be sought to bring out some points in the building of water-works not generally known. Other rSusinets Troubles. Lowell, Mass., Dec. 10.

In the preliminary engagement it is evident that the element most obnoxious to independent citizens of all parties has triumphed.

As Christmas comes on the faces of the masculine half of the human race are shadowed with perplexity. They don't know the shops, and the clerks in the shop pity their ignorance because they do not know what a woman wants. Of some things a woman never has enough tine handkerchiefs, curious bitOof jewelry, silk stockings and kid gloves. Neither does her soul grow weary of dainty bits of brac-a-brac, of quaint silver teaspoons, nor of curious brass candlesticks and lamps, no matter how thick they may stand about. Women always like etchings, too, or a good print, no matter how small tbey may be. So, also, with a bit of a statuette in bronto or marble, or in plaster. Even if a woman doesn't know about these things, she is flattered that you think she does. m If she be your mother, or your sister, or your wife, you will not have to keep up any of these flattering little Actions, but can just give hera sensible, useful gift. Give your mother a new lizard or seal pocketbook, or giver her an eiderdown cover for her own bed, or a pair of f nr-lined dressing shoes for the feet. Then there's a bit of real lace for the little gentlewoman, who will lay it away m rose sachets and think up a dozen ways to wear it and be hBDl in it. Perhaps your sister's leather card-case is a little worn at the edges, or she's lost her visiting list book. If she has set up her afternoon tea table, give her a copner kettle or a wrought-iron crane. If sho hasn't set up the tea-table, give heron ir. bamboo, with the cunning little tea-stool that goes with it. If she hasn't a triple dressiugmirror, give her that, by all means; there's nothing in all the world that comforts and sustains a woman's bou! like being able to see her, back hair, and her eyes, and her proftle'all at once. Or there's a party fan an ostrich-feather one if you can. a gauze ono if you can't or a big black Spanish laco scarf to wear about her head of an evening. You can give your sister or your wife a Dresden chiua box for her dressing-table, with a big powder-pulF Inside of it, or a blue deft tray for hair-pins, or a little china night-lamp that will burn ten hours and has a screen before the flame. If your wifespenus your money anxiously and thriftily just go aud buy her what she will call a foolish gift'' that is "too line for her." She will like it all the better because it's fine and because yon thought to give it to her. One man brought tears of joy to the eyes of his little wile by giving her the prettiest, most expensive pair of house shoes he could find in New York. She had not had such a pair since she bought her weddiug shoes because they were so expen frtve. For your sweetheart, avoid buying perfumes, because any girl knows what she wants beat herself; things to wear, becanso her lather has the right to provide them for her; stationery, because she has her own distinctive style; jewelry, above all, because no man should give a woman jewelry unless they are betrothed or married. Make tho gift useful, but not too useful; pretty, but not expensive; impersonal, yet delicately personal. s Sine Sign r the Grip. Columbus Tout.

Pardonable Pride. Plt'sburfr Clironielp-Teiejrraph-It is with pardonable pride in the effect of Kepublican tariff legislation that the President, in his message, nays: "Karely, if ever before in the history of the country, has there been a time when the proceeds of one day's laior or the product of ono farmed ncre would purchase so large nn amount of those thinirs that enter into tho living of tho masses of the people." 1 m ' The Way It Ixoks.

It is a training; it is a conversion of adipose matter, material, mental, into articnlated forces. It promotes development; it promotes self-control, self-restraint; it promotes endurance; it promotes proper obedience. The discipline of tbo regnlar United Mates armv is an education which, if not liberal, is liberating. Four years at West Point, even if one shirks books, would bo a training from boyhood to manhood.
