: . THE INDIANAPOLIS JOUENA, 1HUESD AY, OCTOBER 4, i8Ul.

Ptates consul Is an e--Governor of Alabama. He was appointed a ye3r ago. but t:p to the present time his consular office has not been recognized, owln? to the conflict between the Hovas ani the Irench government. It has brought about end'.es3 correspondence between the French government and the State Department. The present movement of France 13 taken to indicate that f-he is tired of temporizing an.l Intends to force her contention to a final settlement. Private advices received here ere to the effect that the closing of the Madagascar ports will be followed by the landing of two thousand French soldiers in 1 t del ir4jtscn r Diplomatic circles here are watching the French-Knslish contention over Madagascar as possibly foreshadowing a conflict for supremacy in Africa and the establishment there of an empire similar to tte I'.rit-i--:h empire in India. A member of the diplomatic corps pointed out recent significant action indicating the basis of this belief. Last Mav Great Britain entered into a secret alliance by which it secured control over the Consro Free State In the heart of Africa. The arrangement was made at Urusstds with the King of Belgium, who has been instrumental in exploring and developing the Congo country. With this acquisition Great Britain secured the middle link between her colonies In the south of Africa and those of Egypt on the north. In effect It established Great Britain as supreme from the Mediterranean to the Cape of Good Hope. This belt of country extended north and south through the middle of Africa, except alon? a short stretch of the lower Nile, and the portions of the river within British dominion could be so affected by dams, etc.. that the entire route of the stream could be controlled by the British. The result of the Brussels arrangement was to fdve hopes In England and fears in France that the. British empire In Africa -was about to be accomplished in the same quiet way that the British dominion in Asia had been effected. France Immediately entered a prorest against the Brussels arrangement, and was supported in the protest by Germany. These two countries had small possessions in Africa, including the Island of Madagascar, which threatened to be dwarfed and commercially obliterated if England had the center of Africa from the Ited sea to the southernmost extremity. The French protest was so vigorous that Great Britain yielded and the Brussels arrangement was vacated. The Congo Free State has since remained neutral. The Incident served, however, to arouse France to the necessity of strengthening her hold on African soil If she hoped to head off England's purpose of securing commercial control of the country by establishing an English belt from north to south. It was only four month ago that the British arrangement at Brussels was effected, and it is within the last few weeks that the French protest caused it to be vacated. Now comes the French move In Madagascar, which has cauaeU such agitation and talk of war In London and Paris. It 13 not, says thi3 diplomat, any mere contention over Madagascar, but a part of the larger contention between Great Britain and France for commercial control and political empire over Africa. For this reason the present eontest ia rejrarded as affecting riot only Madagascar, but the future of the dark continent. PANIC I 3IAXCI1LRIA.

Landing of Jnpanene Troops Haw Caused Connternntlon. LONDON. Oct. 3. A dispatch received here from Shanghai Bays the Governor of Kerin. Manchuria, reports that the Japanese have effected a landing in the rear of Lan Chun. It la added that the whole province is in a state of consternation, but measures for its defense are being adopted. Another heavy levy has been made upon the Chinese merchants in order to meet the expenses of the war. The HanKoo province has been depleted of troops. The Viceroy. In anticipation of a rebellion, Is causing the construction of fortifications at Woo-Chanff. The consul advises that all Chinese women and children be sent to places of safety. A volunteer corps has been formed in Pan-Kee for the protection of the city should trouble arise there. The native Chinese papers confirm the report cabled yesterday that 50,000 Japanese troops have landed. In the northeastern portion of Corea. The Europeans who were wounded in the battle fought off the Yalu river are all ioing well. It is reported that the Chinese soldiers who retreated from Ping Yang have taken up a position at Ngan, where they have been Joined by troops which are landed on the banks of the Yalu river and by others from Shin King. This Chinese force is reported to be entrenching itself in the most thorough manner possible, and it is now thought probable that the result of the war svill be decided in the battle which it is sxpected must surely be fought at Ngan. The Chinese authorities of Shanghai attempted to arrest a Japanese traveler from (Manchuria on his arrival from Tien Tsin. I"hey claim they were justified in seeking to make the arrest, as the Japanese was suspected of being a spy. A police informer took charge or the man and handed him over to the American consul. A dispatch from Hankow, dated to-day, says that, .as a consequence of the urgent Jemands of the imperial authorities, the province has been deruded of troops. Turbulent mobs have demonstrated at several points that the authorities are powerless to cnecK xnera. ruropeana are aiarmeu, and the British consul has advised that all women and children be sent to Shanghai, which is considered the safest place. , JAPANESE WAR SPIRIT. toners Fall of Ultternesn Aealnst China Saner by the People. WASHINGTON, Oct 3.-Officlals of the Japanese legation have received an interest ing budget of news and gossip in the last mall from Japan.

Each verse of the song begins and nds with "Strike and chastise China." The carious verses describe the Chinese as ar rogant and insolent, with an "army of cow ards." Of the Chinese troops the war song fays: iney are an r naiscipiined rabble, and however fine their arms look, they are useless, like line ladles in pictures." The chant closes with an Invocation to "March and fire as long as breath remains." The Japanese people and press are retorting to the Chinese Emperor's proclamation directing thai the Japanese wojen, mean ing pigmies, snouia be driven to their lairs. The Chinese are being called "chau-chau " the words signifying purlllty. "Toupl-kau," meaning pig-taneu vagaoonas. is also used.

In an Interview with a reporter of the Tageblatt United States Consul-general DeKay said that under the former tariff law the United States suffered most itself. Good results of the reduction of duties, he said were already perceptible, although they were almost counterbalanced by the bad harvest. A further reduction In some of the tariff schedules, Mr. DeKav added, might be expected at no distant date. The chief obstacle was the Senate. That body Insisted on an increase in the tarirr on German sugar, and for the pres ent there was no hope of a reduction of the duty on that article.

THE PARKER HAZING

XCT SO HAD AS ItCPOIlTED, HUT HAD EXOIGII FOIl THE FRESH-MAX. Regimental Reunions at Itnahvllle and Anilpmon Lawyer Ilnmlll Fined for IcnnltlnR the Court. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. LAFAYETTE, Ind., Oct. S. Considerable stir was occasioned here this morning by the Journal's account of the hazing of Austin larker, the Purdue freshman. The matter was known here only to a limited number of students, and the faculty had already taken steps toward an investigation of the facts, which are virtually as follows: Parker was captured while on the street by a number of boys, taken into a carriage and given an "initiation." According to his own statement, he was not cruelly beaten, nor was he stripped naked, nor were his clothes torn from him. The ceremony was somewhat rough, but he was not injured physically, nor did he lose any time from his classes. His hair, In which he took some pride,- was so mutilated that it was necessary to have It clipped short. Mr. Parker says the Journal account was much exsggerated. Members of the Purdue faculty corroborate Mr. Parker's statement, so far as they know the facts, and state that the case is still under investigation and the perpetrators will be punished. The university has a strict rule against hazing, and Intends that it shall be enforced. The capture and treatment of the young man was a personal in dignity that will probably be punished at tne nanus or the law, as wen as vy tne faculty. President Smart said that the fac ulty did not wish to conceal anything from the public, but wanted the strict truth known. The story probably reached its present size through the careless exagger ation of boys who spent Sunday at home in Indianapolis and entertained their credulous friends with an unusually big narrative.

GETTING RESPECTAHLE. Change for the Hotter Since Repub lican Control Shelbyvllle. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. SHELBYVILLE, Ind., Oct. 3. The story of the fight for law and order In this city In the past is an interesting one. For years the name of Shelbyvllle has been a by word and the synonym for corruption all over the country. All kinds of lawlessness and vice were permitted and even sanc tioned by the city officials. Saloons never -a . . ciosea tneir uoors irom one year s end to another, and gaming tables were allowed to run within sight of the streets. There were streets where a. respectable woman could not walk in broad daylight for fear of insult. hen the present city officials came Into ofllce in September all the games were closed and violations of law looked after. The first screen ordinance was passed by the Republicans early in 1S91. The next city campaign was fought on that one issue and the lawless element carried the day by the largest majority which has ever been given in this city. The Democrats repealed the ordinance as soon as they came in. The Council last night reenacted the screen ordinance. Now the town is free from the gaming rooms and the saloons are kept closed on Sunday. It Is possible for a woman to walk along the streets any time without fear of insult. For the first time in years the lawless element has been compelled to take a back seat in the administration of the city government. TILT WITH JLDGE TAYLOR.

The Judge then imposed another fine and ordered the lawyer to the custody of the sheriff. Later in the day Hamill appeared in court and said that out of respect to a court and to his own profession he would withdraw the remarks. The Judge asked for no ap-dogy, but remitted the fines and dismissed the proceedings. Judge Taylor is the judge who acquired a good deal of notoriety a few years ago by sending two newFpaper men to Jail for contempt of court, in which act he was overruled by the unanimous opinion of the Supreme Court.

Near Hinckley I saw people rushing toward me from all directions. I was forced to shut off steam, and they shouted, "The town is being burned. For God's sake save us.' I could see no fire, but all of a sudden while three women were standing by the engine the wind came with such a rush that it swept them clean away, and nothing has been heard of them sdnce. Then I told the people to jump In, and as I was stepping into my cab everything seemed to be a mass of lire. It was as sudden as a flame bursting out In a lamp. I opened the throttle and started to back down to Skunk lake, about six miles away. We had scarce ly got moving before the train, from end to end. was a rolling mass of fire. All I remembered was dodging my head to avoid the flames which came in at the window, and I must have fainted, for I came to as the engine stopped and I saw that I had unconsciously shut off the steam. My hands then were so swollen with the heat that they looked as if 1 had boxing gloves on. The fireman came out of the water tank, shoveled more coal Into the furnace, and all I remember after that is the fireman saying: 'We're done for this time, sure,' and I thought to myself, 'Yes, I guess It's all over now.' When I came to I was in the slush and mud of Skunk lake." Ilomb In tin Elevator. ELYRIA. O..

Now. whether the inspection takas place on the lake front or Dearborn street, or at twenty-three stations in succession, or at three places, on Sunday, makes no difference. If it is Sabbath desecration to inspect carriers on the lake front it is just as much Sabbath desecration to inspect them on Dearborn street: and if the upholders of the Sabbath can find any satisfaction in the letter of the Assistant Postmaster-general they are welcome to it. lie makes it distinctly mandatory that 'at a convenient hour on Sunday afternoon this Inspection shall take place.' thereby vindicating my position in favor of the afternoon of the Lord's day, as that is the time when the business community would suffer the least, and when the carriers would be most pleased." INDIAN EDUCATION'. Xnvnjoe Awakened ly n Visit to the World Fair. WASHINGTON,' Oct. 3-D. M. Browning, Commissioner of Indian Affairs, has submitted his annual report for the year ending June 30. 1SS4. to the Secretary of the Interior.

Putting Pnlnt Upon n Canvas Is Not All VlHlt to tx Studio. Jeannette Gilder, in The Outlook. Back of the house, shut in by a high wall, is the kitchen garden. It Is not, as with us, entirely given over to the, raising of vegetables. Lovely flowers of every description have their share of the rich soli, though the flower garden proper lies Just beyond the drawing room windows. In the garden wall is a door, and through this door you pass into a courtyard, and facing on this courtyard is the studio where Mr. Abbey and Mr. John S. Sargent are at work upon their decorative paintings for the Boston public library. This studio does not go with the house. That is, it was not there originally, but was built by Mr. Abbey and Mr. Sargent for large canvas work. I do not know its actual size, but I know that it is enormous, and that it took one hundred and fifty yards of yard-wide goods to make a curtain to run across it. Mr. Abbey has chosen for the subject of his frieze the story of Sir Galahad and the search for the Holy Grail. One panel of this frieze, twenty-four feet long, was exhibited at Chicago. Unless one has some special reason for knowing otherwise, he imagines that Mr. Abbey or any other painter takes a book of costumes and the poem or episode of history he Is about to illustrate, sets his palette and goes to work. Nothing could be further from the truth. To begin with, Mr. Abbey read every story of the Holy Grail that he could lay his hands upon, and Mrs. AtLey translated from the old German and Norse languages such accounts as have not already been put into English. Theselr. Abbey studied with all tne ardor of a historian, and welded together sa as to make the most accurate as well as the most picturesque story. Then lie and hi3 wife set forth to travel through the countries that Sir Galahad is supposed to have pass?d through. There, from ancient pictures and statuary. they got the costumes. From the architecture of the time Mr. Abbey . had molds cast, ail of which are now in his studio. He made sketches of ancient temples and palaces, and he so infused himself with the story that he became as enthusiastic as Sir Galahad himFfclf. Running the length of the studio is a de?p closet, and In this closet are hundred3 of costumes that have been male with the greatest care for the model3 to wear who pose for Mr. Abbey. Mrs. Abbey has a large room in the house called the "costume room." where she herself superintends the making of these costumes. They ore beautifully made, and are historically accurate. To show you how carefully Mr. Abbey goes into details: He wanted a design for the posts of the kind's tedstead, co he himself modeled a design in clay, made a plaster cast of It. and then gilded the cast so as to get the exact effect of the light and shade on the gold relief. Mr. Sargent's frieze Is to illustrate the history of religion, and he has had just about as much work with it. He has made model3 In wax until he blistered his hands so that he could scarcely hold a brush. Then he took to modeling in butter, which, while It did not blister the hands, was net, I believe, altogether satisfactory. These persons who imagine that artists "dash off" their pictures "at white heat" have only to read the foregoing to see that even two such talented painters as Mr. Abbey and Mr. Sargent do an enormous s mount of hard work before they touch the canvas. They will each get, I believe, $15,000 for their friezes, and were given seven years to do them in. Three years have passed, and each ha3 finished one panel. I don't know for a fact, but I will venture to say that before the work Is done It will have cost both painters more than the price they receive. The mere paints and canvas cost enough, but when you add time, costumes, traveling expenses and models you soon come to the end of $15,CX). It was not to make money that either of these ; aimers accepted the commission. It wns for the love of the work and to set the ball a-rolilng. They are great believers in decorative painting, and hope to see a revival of the art. and for this reason and not for money they were wiiling to be among the pioneers. They have had an endless amount of hard work and much discouragement, but they have triumphed, as Mr. Abbey's Chicago panel and the one Mr. Sargent has In the present exhibition of the Royal Academy prove.

Charles Stelling's Pretty Spouse Runs Off with a Street-Car Conductor. ¶ SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 3.╾Charles Stelling, grocer, is out $5,000 in cash and deeds valued at $90,000 and a pretty wife, who has deserted him for a street-car conductor. Bonds, papers and everything pocketable have disappeared from the Stelling residence. Stelling is eccentric, and one day confided to his wife that he had stored away in a convenient chest a big bag of gold for an emergency. This emergency came when Mrs. Stelling decided to elope with Alexander McNeil, a street-car conductor. Besides owning three groceries and a coal yard, Stelling possessed much valuable business and residence property, all of which he placed in his wife's name soon after his marriage. The deeds to the property, with certificates of corporation and mining stock, and the bag of gold, have gone East with the eloping couple. Stelling is at a loss how to recover any of his possessions.
