tumid out .well, and their failure is reckoned more or less against him. Some of his rcocnt recommendation to the Tsung LI Yamcn have been more strongly flavored with prejudice than could be approved by even that unprcgressive body. He proposed two candidates for the poat of envoy to Japan on the express ground that they knew no language but Chinese, and, therefore, could net communicate with any Europeans. This was too much for Prince Kung and other advocates of moderate reform, who hold that familiarity with foreign methods an1 ideas is essential to modern Chinese diplomacy. IA Hung Chans clings to the belief that the Emperor will soon realize the value of his great experience, and that his eervices will then t' considered indispensable. At an indignation meeting of American citizens in fchanghal, July 13, resolutions were passed calling on the United States government to appoint a commission headed by a consular officer of the highest rank and consisting of Americans possessing a knowledge of Chinese language and customs, to proceed at the earliest possible moment to Cheng Tu and thoroughly Investigate the causes and fix the responsibility of the recent riots in which valuable American property was wantonly destroyed and twenty-four American misslonariej with numerous children were violently maltreated at the instigation of native officials. The government at Washington was also advised that money Indemnity was Insufficient to meet the demands of the case. Those in attendance at the meeting insisted on prompt and adequate punishment of the guilty parties Tvithout regard to rank or station. Furthermore they demanded that provision to be made for the immediate return of the missionaries to their stations in the Szecheun province and that their right to resile and prosecute their work In the Interior of China be publicly proclaimed In all parts of the empire. The Japanese government learns that reports have been circulated in Europe to the ' effect that a pecuniary demand had been made upon China in consequence of the retrocession of Laowi-Tung pentnsula and adjoining districts and that the. matter is receiving attention from the Russian authorities. The report is without foundation. The first reception of the new Japanese envoy at the Chinese court was die tintruished by a departure from conventional precedents, which excites much comment in diplomatic circles. The Emperor holds audiences seated on the platform, to which he ascends by a set of steps intended for his exclusive use. When credentials have hitherto been presented they have been taken to him by side stair cases at the right or left of the central flight. Minister Hayashl, however, had been admonished by his government to Insist upon every mark of respect. He therefore, expressed a strong detire th-at his credentials should be conveyed to the Emperor by the route reserved for his Majesty, and, after some demur, his request ' was granted, to the surprise of Europeans and Americans. The audience took place July 7, and, after appropriate addresses were delivered, the envoy' documents were received by Prince Kung, president of the Tsung LI Yemen, and carried up the central steps to the throne. The reply to the envoy's speech was brief and to this effect: "The war Is ended and peace re-established. I am happy to receive you. Two countries separated only by a narrow strip of water should always maintain terms of friendship." A storm of extraordinary severity visited Couth Japan on July 25. causing erreat loss of life and destroying property of immense value. Many calamities are reported, the most serious of which was the overthrow of a railway train bringing disabled soldiers from Hiroshima north for hospital treatment. The force of the tempest was such thai thirteen , cars, together with the engine, were blown from a causeway Into a deep Inlet of the Island sea. It is stated that 130 passengers were killed or fatally Injured, but hopes are entertained that these first accounts may prove to be exaggerated. , Aatl-Forelffn, Not Anti-Missionary. LONDON. Aug. 13, An editorial In the Times this morning expresses sympathy Trith the Europeans in China. The article cays: "It Is needless to discuss the missionary controversy. The attacks are antiforeign and not anU-mlssinoary, and If they are allowed to succeed In their manifest purpose the whole policy of opening up China, which has been pursued by the American and European governments for years past, will be defeated. If the Peking government Is Impotent to control the provincial authorities we must deal with the latter directly." Cabinet Orlsls in Japan. NEW YORK.

The fire originated on the first floor of the building occupied by Brown & Bailey at No. 412 Franklin street, at 8:30 o'clock, but It was nearly 9 o'clock beforo an engine had responded to the alarm. The delay proved disastrous, as the inflammable material in the factory was a mass of flames before the firemen arrived.

31 ANY OF THE INSURGENTS NOT ANXIOUS FOR INDEPENDENCE. Want to De Protected hy a Strong Hand Like Uncle Snm's Many Spaniards Dyinj? from Disease. NEW YORK, Aug. 12. The steamer Seneca, of the Ward line, which arrived here from Cuba io-day, brought several Cuban passengers. One gentleman from Havana, who would not perrn.lt the use of his name, asserted that th3 . Insurrection . is more formidable than Is generally believed. The ret els, he said, desire to establish a government under the protection of a strong power, the United S:ates preferred. They are not anxious for Independence, because negroes form a majority of the inhabitants cf the island and would dominate the government. Therefore the rebels are deiayirg the capture cf important seaport towns, which the gentleman from Havana tays they cculd easily accomp 1 sh, lecausi their plans for the future are not yet matured. 1 To secure pzssesslon of cities would mean recognition as belligerents to the rcb;i3 and as they arc not yet ready for such recognition they will continue their present methods of making war for a t m. Tha Havana man asserts that there are elgnt thousand sympathizers with the revolution in Havana, that thirty thousand revolutionists are in the field and that the Spanish have lost fifteen thousand men more than they, two-thirds of the number dying from disease., Campos, he says, cannot hold out long. Another passenger on the steamer was Senor Kicardo Cabera, a wealthy sugar planter, of Cienfuegos. He declined to discuss the revolution on the ground that he might Injure his business and Jeopardlzs hi3 interests by making statements that would be partisan either way. He admitted, however, that he had heard that yellow fever was decimating the Spanish forces and that the insurgents were not affected by it. ' INSURGENTS DEFEATED.

The Insurgent band commmanded by Rego recently besieged the town of Ingavllanlto, in the province of Santa Clara, and sent a request to surrender to tho detachment of Spanish troops detailed to defend that place.

The soldiers made a gallant defense and eventually compelled the insurgents to retire with a loss of five Kuied. among the latter being a captain who was Rego's aid-de-camp, and leaving ten wounded behind. Sergeant Catala, with a detachment of sixteen soldiers, has had a skirmish near Seboruequlto, in the Mayari district, province of Santiago de Cuba, with a band of one hundred Insurgents.

Recruiting In Cklnboma. WICHITA. , Kan., Aug. 12.A gentleman who arrived from Guthrie to-day brings the report that a regiment Is being raised In Oklahoma to join the insurgents In Cuba. He says that the Territory is filled with adventurers who would Join anything which promised excitement and novelty, while there are hundreds of unfortunate fellows there who would seize upon this or any other thing which promised a good living and fair wages. The following significant advertisement appeared In the Guthrie Leader of Sunday morning, and it gives color to the report, that such a regiment Is actually being raise 1: "WANTED Five hundred men between the ages of trrenty-one and thirty-five years, to hunt gece on the Gulf of Mexico. Must provide Winchester rifle and Colt's revolver, caliber 44, and one thousand rounds of ammunition. Apoly at once to COL. ROBERT M'REYNOLOS or CAPT. JOHN TWAMLEY, Guthrie. O. T." These circulars have been distributed all over southern Kansas and Oklahoma, especially In border towns. The headquarters, or recruiting station at Guthrie is, it Is said, a branch of a similar station at Galveston, Tex. Insurarents Increasing In Number. LONDON. Aug. 12. The Times this morning publishes a dispatch from Havana, dated Aug. 7, which . says that General Moreno has assumed the chief command of the troops In the province of Santiago de Cuba. Insurgents- are increasing In the province of Matanzas. The force of 1.360 officers and men of local volunteers from Havana, which has been drawn for active service, causes the impression that the situation is more grave. The suppression of the news encourages the wildest rumors adverse to Spain.Tho recent Madrid appointments, giving all the posts in Cuba to Spaniards is criticised as proof that Spain Is determined not to allow Cubans any share in administration. The appointment of Cabezas as director of Finance Is especially deprecated. Campos Reported to Have Quit. NEW YORK, Aug. 12. Special correspondence of the World, dated Havana, Cuba, Aug. 8, says: General Campos has resigned the captain generalship of Cuba. It Is gmerally believed that he stronrly urges tne home government to grant the Island of Cuba self government. Ilefore the Theater Goers. Buffalo Courier.

KEADI FOR TROUBLE

OMAHA POLICE HEADQUARTERS A FORTIFIED STRONGHOLD. Clash Between the Old Commission and the A. P. A. Now Probable Senator Hoar on the A. P. A. OMAHA, Aug. 12. It now looks as if a conflict is inevitable between the Omaha police force and the A. P. A. faction, which claims authority, unJer a recent law, to appoint a new police force. Last night indications were that a compromise was probable, but the efforts of citizens who deplore the present strife to persuade the A. P. A. board to yet submit the controversy to the Supreme Court were of no avail. The A. P. A. board Is appointing Its force to-night and asserts It will. take possession of city property by force Wednesday. It was statei .unofficially this morning that those of the present policewen anJ firemen who did not notify the new board by Wednesday morning that they would hold themselves subject to toe orders of the new board would receive little consideration when the new board began to discharge the- duties of the office. The police headquarters resembles a barracks to-day. The disquieting rumors which are flying around, according to the police, is the basis for the precautions taken in protecting the headquarters from an assault and capture in true feudal style. The door leading from the office into the Police Court and the door opening out Into Jackson street from the captain's office have been locked and braced with timbers so that neither of them could be forced without the use of a sledge hammer. This leaves but two entrances to the office and cells. One is through the . door opening out into the court from off fifteenth street and the other - through the door and up the narrow step3 into Jackson street. An assaulting party would have to coma by one of these two entrances, and when they .attempted this twenty-five policemen would be on hand to give them a warm reception. The police are armed with clubs and short handles, such as are used in pick axes, and every one of them has a revolver. There are only fifteen patrolmen doing duty on the streets of the city, the remainder of the- regular day force and some from the dog watch being used to protect the headquarters and -the City Hall. The police put In their time at the headquarters in sleeping and talking over the situation. Captain Moslyn said he did not anticipate 1 any trouble, but that It was deemed advisable to keep a force about the headquarters as a protection in case of an effort to take possession. The men will be kept on guard until the commission muddly is settled. The statement has been made that a quantity of arms and ammunition has been stored In the City Hall, as well as the police headquarters, to" be nsed by the men. This is denied, by the officers. They say the regulation revolvers carried by patrolmen would be sufficient in case the arms were needed. The force of specials has been dismissed, and it is understood the men will not be re-employed unless the situation becomes more threatening than It Is at present. The police report that there has been no disturbance of any kind, and that there is no 'more reason to expect an attacking party now than there was a few weeks ago. They say, however, that some, of the A. P. A. leaders claim that Judge Hopewell's decision places the new board in possession of the departments, and that it is expected that tho board will demand possession cf the headquarters, the office of the fire and police alarm superintendent and operators and the chief of police office. Then there may be trouble. HOAR AXD THE A. P. A. Caastlc Letter from the Senntor to Thomas C. Evans. WORCESTER. Mass., Aug. 12.-Senator Hoar has written an open letter upon the A. P. A. to Thomas C. Evans, of Boston, in response to a letter from the latter expressing surprise at statements made by the Senator in a speech that it (the A. P. A. movement), "is an attempt to recall, on one side, the cruelties of the Catholic Church and to frighten old wonien of both sects ;and on the other side to band the men of the Catholic Church together for political action. Both these attempts will fail." Senator Hoar writes In part as follows: "There is no more zealous believer In the principles of the New England Puritans and no more zealous advocate of them than I am. There is not a man in Massachusetts who has more at heart the welfare and perpetutlty of our system of free common schools than I have. The difference between you and me Is a difference of method. I want to get the 700,000 Catholics in Massachusetts on our side. I want them to send their children to the public schools, to pay their share of the cost and when their young men and young women are suitable, are intelligent, liberal persons, attached to the school system, I want some of them to be employed as teachers. I don't wish to exclude them from my political support when they are Republicans and agree with me in other matters because of their religious faith. "You want to Join an association whose members are ashamed to confess they belong to It; many of whom without apparently forfeiting the respect of their fellows, lie about their menjbershlp In it, when they are asked about it. You want to mass together the whole Catholic population to the support of their extreme and wrong-headed priests, if any such can be found. I think your method would overthrow the common school system, would overthrow the Republican party and would end by massing together all the Catholic voters, as proscription always does mass men together, to increase and strengthen that political power which you profess 'so much to dread. I think the time has come to throw down the walls between Christians and not to build new ones. I think the time has come to inculate harmony and good will between all American citizens, especially between all citizens of the commonwealth of Massachusetts. I want the whole 700,000 Catholics of Massachusetts to believe what John Boyle O'Reilly believed and to love and reverence the Puritan founders of Massachusetts as he did. You think the way to make good citizens and good men of them and to attract them to Protestantism is to exclude them, their sons and daughters from all public employment and to go yourself in a dark cellar and curse at them through the gratings of the windows. ' In conclusion. Senator Hoar asks certain questions concerning the A. P. A., whether It is a secret organization, whether its opponents have an opportunity to know Its purposes, and be convinced by its arguments; whether Italy and France are not as free from temporal control by the Pope as Massachusetts; whether General Sheridan, if he was living, would be unfit to hold office and whether his daughter, if she entertained her father's religious belief, would be unfit to teach in a public school.

GLASS MEN TO MEET THEY WILL TALK TO-DAY OF PROFITS IXSTKAD OF LOSSES. A ClianKf Ilroueht About, It Is Claimed, by a Selling Agency at Mnncle. The glass manufacturers of the State will meet to-day at the Bates House and a full attendance is expected. The glass men have a better story to tell of the state of the trade and can now talk of profits Instead of deficits on the output. The change was due to the establishment of a selling agency at Muncle, it Is said, which has become the rendezous of buyers and brokers from all over the country. Of the thirty manufacturers In the State only twelve were in the combination, but It Is sold that those which had sold out and those who were not In benefited by the plan of selling and that now there is a willingness on all sides to make the agency a permanent institution. Mr. T. F. Hart, ex-president of the national Association of Glass Manufacturers, is the father of the movement, according to the Muncle News, and to him is due the credit for the location of the present agency in that city. Mr. Hart expressed it as his opinion tha. it would be formed. The advantages of this system of doing business have been clearly illustrated and as the factories now recognize and are anxious to get In line and Join such a movement it Is hardly probable that any hitch will occur in the formation of the new agency. It will be Mr. Hart's purpose to have the general offices of the agency located in Muncle, and was prospecting for quarters should Muncle be selected, and which he could offer the combination, last evening. MAY EXTEND EAST. "Such a combination." says the Muncle Times, "would control nearly all of the glass west of the Allegheny mountains, and there is on foot at this time a movement to organize a similar agency for combination among the Eastern manufacturers. Should it succeed, the two agencies would work in harmony and would control the glass business of the country. Glass papers are now fearful that the business will be seriously Injured because of imported glass coming in at less than the home manu facturer can sell and pay tne increased wages that the men are demanding, but with the two agencies controlling the glass of the country this result, would hardly be possible, as much of the middle expenses incurred In getting the production to the market would be eliminated."

In a Snake's Kmbraee. Greensburg (Pa.) Special. Frederick Kernn and Charles Elsworth, students her?, hid a thrilling adventure with a monster black snake while exploring the White Rock on the Allegheny mountains, yesterday. Wearied with their wanderings the young men lay down on a moss-coverel rock and presently Kernn was fast asleep, 'n the course of a half hour Elsworth was Ttart'.ed by a cry of agony coming from 'in companion, and, turning around, was horrified to find a huge snake rapidly collIn; Itself about the body of his companion, Kernn, on his knees, was attempting to irasp the neck of the reptile, but without juccess. Elsworth was unable to offer as-

TT f-tanee to hi frightened companion. Tho coils were slowly tightening rnd crushing the life out of the young man. for his right arm was pinioned to his side. Suddenly th snake shot its head in midair with its forked tongue darting backward and forward and its eyes centered on the face of Kernn ready for the- fatal plunge. With one mighty effort Kernn seized the reptile by the neck and Elsworth came to his rescue. With both hands he pressed the head to the rock e.nd then Kernn fell unconscious. Pulling a penknife from his pocket. Elsworth severed the head of the monster. The coils were slowly loosened and after an hour the young man revived. The snake was eleven feet five Inches long, the largest ever seen In the mountain region. OX A SIIKEP RA3CH. The Dignified Procedure Mb en ttes llncka Met lu C'oiiQlel. Washington Star. One of the amusing eights out West is the flocks of bucks on the sheep ranches In Arizona and New Mexico.- There are certain regions given up o sheep raising, and one can find outhts which number high as 50,000 sheep. These are divided into nocks, never more than 5,m0 In a bunch, and while the bunches may be within a few miles of each other, they are kent sep arate and apart, and never - allowed . to mingle. Five thousand sheep in a bunch is about all that the genius of man cr do? can handle to advantage. Inuring certain seasons of the year tho bucks are bunched together by themselves, and these are the woolly folk who furnish the entertainment. All day long they fight sham duels with each other, and every waking moment In the twenty-four will offer the cn-looker a spectacle of full thirty cf these combats raging at a time. The sheep wem to have a tashlon of code and conduct these affairs of honor with a great deal of order and decorum. They are never for blood, and resemble a rparring match for points between boxers. Oi a joust with blunted spears between knights of olden time. As you watch the flock grazing along., your eye will be aroused .to some buck, who suddenly ceases feeding and stands for a moment In a thoughtful attitude. It has suddenly occurred to this champion that he would enjoy a brief bunting bout, and he locks up and down the block for an adversary. Having selected his fellow duelist, he walks .toward him with a verj dignified, almost haughty air. The buck thus honored by his notice raises his head as he t is approached and looks at the other with' great calmness. The particular merino who 13 resolved on trouble goes quite close to the other, and In a stiff, formal way strikes him once or twice with his foro foot. This hoof maneuver would seem to be the challenge. The buck thus tapped, and the blow is bestowed somewhere about the fore legs, bows profoundly, as if In haughty acquiescence and begins to back slowly away. The challenger does the same. When ther are Eeparated to a distance of perhaps 33 yards, they will spring into the air once or twice, in a stiff-legged way, as If testing their thews. Having satisfied themselves that they are decidedly in working order and as If with the Fame impulse, they lower their heads and rush at each other. Thuy meet half way with a crash which can be heard across the plains for a mile, and each buck is so severely Jolted as to bedriven backward several feet Bowing with great deference to each other, they then retreat backward as they did before, and to about the same distance, and charge again. Their woolly pates wiU crash together a second time, after which they will retreat for a third. Before cne or the other is entirely satisfied they will run some Eix or eeven of these courses. At least one will signify in a dignified way, and by simply turning his attention to cropping the. grass, that he doesn't care for any more exercise of that sort at that time. His adversary may feel like another bunt, but he never urecs his wish, and If there is sti'd any combat In him. which must be worked off, he hunts another fheep. Sometimes when two bucks are pulling off a duel some other buck will be attracted bv the sight. Without asking anybody's . permission he will lower his head and charge with tha others. Instead of a duel there will bo a trio. Occasionally, a fourth, even a fifth, will take part, and as many as eight bucks have been Been all hilariously charging fr a common center In a fashion of a woolly Donnybrook fair. These buck tournaments appear to afford the sheep great satisfaction. They conduct them with gravity, and as none of them ever get hurt, and all cf them seem much refreshed thereby, the sheep herders never Interfere. Horses nt Long: Drench. Philadelphia Times. Long Branch Is looking forward to Its open-air horse show, from which great things are expected. This is one of the few resorts where the horse Is still a central figure not yet cast Into the shade by the bicycle. There are more -people at Long Branch who drive than at any other resort, and, of course, as a consequence, more horses. Not even Newport excels in this respect. Drvlng has always been the thing Long Branch has been famous for, not for bathing or dancing or any diversion, and without its drive and driving Long Branch would be very much like "Hamlef with Hamlet left out Yet, strange to say, the resort has been threatened with the loss of its greatest attraction. The sea has been attacking again and again the famous drive, trying to carry It off; now the rage for bicycling In some considerable degree interferes with the popularity of the horse. It is hoped that the horse show, which begins on the Hollywood grounds on Aug. 8, and continues until Aug. 10, will overcome this tendency and create a furore In equestrian matters that will extend over the remainder of the season.
