IIoit the ForcJrn Barbarians" Were Compelled to Travel Hnndrcds of 31 Hps to Escape Furious 3Ioba. NEW YORK. Sept. 1. Reports of the outrages upon missionaries In China have coma from members of the American Missionary Magazine, which shows that the uprisings were more general than has been told before. In the last week of May and the first of June all the missionary stations In western China wer looted by mobs, and 146 missionaries, men. women and children, were driven away, escaping only with their lives. In the province of Sze-Chuan, the largest In the empire, there were many small stations scattered over the valley of the upper Yangtze river. Most of the missionaries had gone to the field in the past five years. While the authorities seem to have tried, in some instances, to protect the missions, the only service they were able to render was to help them to escape. The missionaries fled hundreds of miles down the river, traveling on rafts and in houseboats, hardly carrying so much as a change of clothing, and reaching places of safety only after two weeks of hardship. In Chen-Tu, the capital of the province of Sze-Chuan, a placard was posted on the 2Sth of May. asserting that the "foreign barbarians" were hiring evil characters to steal small children for them. The next day a mob of several thousand tore down the Canadian Methodist mission and the property of the two other Protestant and Catholic buildings. The missionaries appealed, to the magistrate of the city, but he told them he was powerless to help them. With the aid of some friendly natives, they effected their escape. Then the cry went up: "The time has come to turn all the missionaries out of Sze-Chuan." A part of the mob divided Into smaller parties and took the various roads out of town, en route for other mission centers. In all cities the most inflammatory placards were posted on the walls. Rlot3 immediately followed. . The Baptist missionaries believe the riots were incited by members of the official class. They kept in the background, however, and. to all appearances, the students -ere at the bottom of the mischief. They 7utIished a placard, fixing a date for the .lestruction of the missionary property at uIchau-Fu, and for killing the magistrate, .who was suspected of desiring to protect (foreigners. In most cases the missionaries, 'while their property was being destroyed. left the cities and hid in the neighborhood, awaiting an opportunity to escape. They had native friends, who helped them to pro cure boats, and to put the women and children aboard. At Sulchau-Fu Mrs. Warner, Mrs. Wellwood and Dr. Finch got their valuable papers and silver out of the town, and eecreted them. Here, as everywhere, the trouble came like a thunder-clap out of a clear sky. Sunday's services were well attended, quiet and very impressive, and three candidates were baptized by Immersion. On Monday, June 3, the city was flooded -with placards. The largest, party, which numbered sixty-five, was crowded for seven days in little house-boats, suffering terribly, and but for the fact that they had money enough to pay the exorbitant prices asked them for everything, would have perished. Many stories of individual escapes are told, but they are much alike in their main features. - Christiana Harried Near IIIngr-Hwn. LONDON, Sept. 2. Tho Times correrpondent at Shanghai says Chinese Christians are being brutally harried near HingHwa, province of Fo-Klen. Houses have been burned and property and cattle lifted. One person was fatally wounded. The magistrate refused to interfere, although he was five times requested to do so. He had published an ambiguous proclamation referringto the Ku-Cheng massacre and inciting a rising against the Christians. Worse -troubles are expected. LONG BICYCLE RIDE. Attempt to Reduce the Chicago-New York Record. CHICAGO, Sept. 2. II. P. Searle, of this city, left the corner of Washington boulevard and Halsted street at 4:30 o'clock this Mcnday) morning to try for the ChicagoNew York bicycle record. There was quite a crowd of local bicyclists on hand to see ) Wm make the start. Morton II. Bently accompanied him and will ride with him Into Ohio, after which the pace will be made by other cyclists interested in the attempt to lower the record. jSearle expects to be In South Bend, Ind.. at noon to-day, when fce will have completed his first hundred miles. According -to his schedule, he is due la Bryan, O., at 11 p. m.. when he will have covered another hundred miles. Cabanne nod Titus Don't Care. ST. LOUIS, Mo., Sept. 'l. Cabanne and Titus, who were suspended from membership in the Associated Cycling Clubs yesterday, arrived from Kansas City to-day and left a few hours later for Springfield, Mass., where they will attend the big tournament. The team mates professed utter disregard for the action taken by Chairman Oiedon, and announced that they had not the slightest fear of being ruled off the cycle path or even suspended for any length of time. One peculiar feature of the affiir is that both Cabanne and Titus lay all the blame for the suspension on the local member of the racing board, asserting that he is prejudiced again them, while at the same time they accuse Murphy of being responsible for the "throw down" on Cabanne in the mile open event that created the present queer state of affairs. Movements of Steamers. PHILADELPHIA, Sept. l.The Red Star line steamship Illinois, Captain Ueynon, arrived at this port to-day, two days overdue. Some apprehension had been felt here for the safety of the steamer, which left Antwerp seventeen days ago with 112 passengers and a large cargo.

LIELOIJ THIEF KILLED

surrosnn tramp shot dv a DAVIESS COIXTV FARMER. Second Case of the Kind 'Within Two Weeks Mysterious Affair Xear Crawfordsvllle Schoolboy Shot. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON, Ind.. Sept. 1. What seems to have been a case of murder has been a much discussed topic here to-day. Some two weeks ago a small farmer named A. L. Carr, who Is known In this part of Indiana best as a canvasser, filled a German boy tramp's back full of shot for stealing melons from his patch, temptingly near the railroad track. The boy is now in the poor asylum being patched up, and the German citizens have raised a purse to prosecute Carr. This morning Carr shot an unknown young man through the heart, and now the body is awaiting identification. The only hope the officers have of identifying the young man Is by the means of the name, "J. M. Hazelwood, Sandoval, III." which was written on a scrap of paper foynd in the dead man's pocket. Carr gave himself up after the killing, and says 'he acted in self-defense. He says, the young man was in his melon patch, and he had arrested him. with a view of turning him over to the officers; that while on his way to the city several tramps stepped from behind some box cars and demanded the young man's release; that at this Juncture the youth drew two revolvers and fired several shots at him. Seeing his peril, he also fired at the young man, one of the shots taking effect as stated. Several railroad employes, who were! at work near by, claim that Carr fired the first? shot, and that the youth in fact was on the defensive. Indignation is great, and a short time after the killing there was strong talk of violence. Carr is said to have shot five people during his life, two fatally. The coroner is investigating. IXDIAXA UXIVBRSITY. Xciv Teachers for the Departments of History and Political Science. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Sept. 1. Indiana University, which is rapidly coming to the front as one of the leading institutions of learning in the country, has strengthened Its departments of history and political science. In announcing new courses and additional teachers for the fall term, which begins Sept. 17, President Swain says: "The changes and recent growth in the department of history and political economy at Indiana University . are of more than ordinary interest. They will attract the attention not only of educators, but also of all citizens of the State that are alive to the growing importance of these subjects. There was issued this spring a special announcement of the courses offered at I. U. in history. politics and economics. This is the first time this has been done by an institution in the State. It was at once the result and the proof of the fact that the State University was fully abreast of that movement in historical and social (Studies which is so marked a characteristic of the present time. The courses surpass in extent and character those offered heretofore in any but a few of the largest institutions of the country. Short has been the period since the circular referred to was published, it Is already antiquated by reason of recent changes. The resignation of Prof. Fellows to pursue historical studies abroad and of Prof. Commons to accept a chair in Syracuse University, Nw York, left but one of the three men Working the past year in these allied subjects, namely. Prof. Woodvurn, of the department of American history. Four new men, however, have been added, thus increasing largely the working force of the departments. Dr. Fetter, of the department of political economy at Cornell University, enters upon his work at I. U. this fall according to the former announcement, and three other excellent appointments have been made. Two of these are In history. Prof. S. B. Harding, of Harvard, and Dr. U. G. Weatherly, of Cornell and Peipzig, Germany, and one in political science. Dr. Amos S. Hershey, of Harvard and Heidelberg, Germany. It Is interesting to note that whereas four of these five new men are natives of Indiana, they have been students In the most noted Eastern and foreign universities. Harvard. Cornell, Johns Hopkins. Heidelberg. Halle, Leipzig and others. The work of these departments ts animated by an impartial scientific spirit and is seen thus to unite of corps of workers who have felt the Influence of the freshest and best thought of the greatest educational centers." AFTER THE CRACKS. Terre Haute Wants the Pacers to Make Two-Minute Records There. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. TERRE HAUTE, Ind., Sept. 1 The Trotting Association has decided to make an effort to get the crack pacers here for the race meeting the first week In October. A purse has been offered, with tht following 'conditions: $2,500 for free-for-all pacers; entrance fee, 5 per cent, and 5 per cent, additional for the winner of each division of the purse. In addition to the amount offered in the purse the association will add $500 to the horce making the best time, provided the time is ' better than 2:012. Or, if a record of two minutes or better 13 made the sum added to the purse will be $1,000, but no entrance fee Is to be paid on the added money. The purse is to bo divided in the usual four moneys and the right is reserved to declare off the race unless there are three or more starters. The Hamlins have sent word that they will start Robert J. if he is fit for the race and If he Is not they will start Star Pointer, who got a record of 2KMV2 at Rochester. Mr. Rivenberg telegraphs that Fldol will surely start and there is reason to believe that both John R. Gentry' and Joe Patchen will be in the race, with the probability that Directly, Rubensteln and Coastman will also be in the fast company. The owners of the horses that are looked to as the two-minutes harness racers are all deslrious? of trying to make the record here. Robert' J.. 2:01H. John R. Gentry. 2Ka;; Joe Patchen, 2:04: Mascot, 2:04, and Fldol, 2:011,4. all made their records here and it is believed that if either of them can pace the mile In two minutes it can be done on this track. Most of the good judges here believe Gentry can beat any of them when the time comes for him to do so. They remember the Jogging way in which he came home in the 2:034 mile last year and have unbounded faith in his speed if he is right. The race is fixed for Wednesday. Oct. 2. . The Fair Association finds that It made several thousand dollars in the August meeting and did not come out loser, as announced at the close of the meeting. The collection of suspension money, of which there was $3,600, has been much better than anticipated. MYSTERIOUS CASE. John Holliday Supposed to Have Reen Chloroformed by a Man nnd Woman. Special to the Indianapolis Journal.. CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind.. Sept. 1. John Everetts, living two miles north of this city, on going cut last night to turn off his wind-pump, heard a strange noise In the direction of the road. He investigated, and found a man and -woman standing around a buggy. In which there was a man in an unconscious state. Everetts did not know the people, but the woman said that the man was dying, and also said that his name was John Holliday, of Linden. The man and woman around the buggy declined to givo their names, but wanted, to take Holliday back to this city. Holliday was seemingly in great pain, and, being unconscious, Everetts thought It better to get Holliday In the house and send for a doctor. At this point the man and woman, who refused to give their names, walked away, coming toward the city, and leaving Mr. Everetts with Holliday. "Upon starting the buggy Holliday fell out. Help was summoned, and Holliday was taken to the house of Mr. Everetts. Dr. Jones was sent for, and he pronounced Holliday to be suffering from a dose of chloroform. Word was sent to Linden to Holllday's friends, who came down and took Holliday home. Holliday was then unconscious, and his recovery is dofubtful. Holiday left here about 7 o'elock lent night, and in a half hour he was found in his buggy ill from the effects of a dose of chloroform, and two strangers struggling with him.

Crnvrfordsvlllc's Sunday. Closing Spasm Seems to Have Passed Array. Special to the Indianapolis Journal CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind., Sept. L This Is the second Sunday since the Mayor's proclamation demanded fhat all persons should cease to follow their "usual vocations on Sundays." The ultimate effect of the actual observance of this proclamation would have been the closing ot every store of whatever kind, meat shop, restaurant, hotel, gas works, electric-light plant (which would have shut off light at nearly every church at night), and, in fact, made Sunday a fast day by the non-performance of "usual vocation of the servant girls in the city. Some people were even so radical as to demand that ministers stop preaching on Sunday, claiming that in doing so they were following their "usual vocations," because they were earning their salaries. But this extreme view was the straw that broke the camel's back, and the law is now nearer dead than it was at any time since it was passed In 1ST3. To-day matters assumed their -usual aspect, and the groceries and meat shops were open an hour; the drug stores, restaurants and livery stables were open all day, and the work of "necessity and mercy" went merrily on. SHOT HIS ASSAILANT. Vindictive Yoong 3Ian Fatally Wounded by n School Teacher. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. BLUFFTON, Ind., Sept. 1.-William Beckler, one of the most . prominent young schoolteachers in the etfunty, is under a bond of $3,000 for shooting Frank Ifer, a young man who has been one of his scholars. The affair took place last night at Ebenezer Baptist Church, in the southern part of the county, at a song service. After the service had concluded Ifer followed Beckler to his buggy and struck him twice. The latter then drew a revolver and ordered his assailant not to repeat the blows. Young Ifer stepped towards Beckler, who fired twice, both balls taking effect in the stomach. Beckler at once came to this city, gave himself up to the authorities and was placed under bond. Last winter the victim of the affair was' arrested for provoke on complaint of Beckler, whose school he was attending, and the two have been enemies since, ioth are members of the wealthiest families of the county, their patents having made thousands of dollars from oil royalties from their farms.

Information regarding the fearful storm of Friday, raging from Corpus Christl, Tex., and across the border several -hundred miles Into Mexico, is very meager. t Late to-night scarcely ' anything definite can be learned, as the railroad officials are very reticent. Enough is known, however, to state that the storm Is the worst in the history of northern Mexico. First reports were to the effect that the telegraph wires and railway track would be in working condition on Saturday, but! advices to-night Indicate that wires to the City of Mexico, over the Mexican National railroad, will not be serviceable until to-morrow and unofficial sources would indicate the abandonment of through trains until the latter part of the week. Five miles of Mexican National telegraph wires are down, with numerous bridges washed away. In many places the Mexican National roadbed is washed out for several hundred yards. At ona point three hundred yards of the track was washed into a small river and twisted into all sorts of shapes. It is reported that one passenger train is stranded near Salome Botelo, a small mining camp, about a hundred miles from Laredo, the embankment being washed out at the head and the rear end of the train. There are no reports of loss of life or homes. There is no telling what developments will bring to light. The Mexican government wires are equally as badly damaged, but communication with the City of Mexico is established by way of Eagle Pass. . OBITUARY. MnJ. Richard II.

OPEMXG OF THE EMPEROR WILLIAM MEMORIAL AT BERLIN. Golden Key Presented' to the EmpressAll Germans to Unite In Celebrating Sedan Day. BERLIN, Sept. 1. Emperor William, Empress Augusta and members of the imperial family, the. Grand Duchess of Baden and numerous representatives of German princely houses, ministers of state, officers, veterans and deputations were present today at the consecration of the Emperor William Memorial Church. The Emperor and Empress arrived at the site of the church with a military escort at about 10 o'clock. The doors of the church were opened to the accompaniment of pealing bells, and their majesties were handed the golden key of tha church by a deputation when they arrived . Inside. The service of dedication was commenced with the singing of, a choral. Court Chaplain Faber delivered the consecration address, in which he alluded to the. strong faith, the cheerful hopefulness and love of his people and his country which characterized the old Emperor. He expressed the wish that faith, hope and charity might constitute the main pillars of the new church. At the conclusion of this sendee the troops and veterans, including the German-American veterans, now visiting the city, marched past their majesties in review. The veterans sang patriotic airs as they marched, in which the spectators joined. It is evident that the German nation, especially the Berliners, intend to celebrate the anniversary of the battle of Sedan in a peaceful but determined manner. The task of decorating the city for tomorrow's fetes is -not yet finished, but enough has been done to justify the prophecy that the capital to-morrow will present such a spectacle as has seldom been seen. The newspapers all contain articles on the occasion and agree that it is a demonstration to the honor of united Germany and not a manifestation of satisfaction at the defeat of the French. All party squabbles are laid aside for the time being. Even the Ultramontanes, the Guelphs and the Poles avoid unpleasant remarks. The Catholic ecclesiastical authorities of Prussia have actually ordered that a solemn Te'Deum be sung in the churches in honor of the day. This has never been done before. The jarring tones of the Socialists, who were attempting a demonstration of . disapproval of the celebration, find little echo among the people. It seems that the projected Socialist antidemonstrations have been abandoned. To-day's ceremony combined the characteristic of a national military and religious festival. The golden key of the new church was presented to the Empress, who was the patron of the undertaking. It is the tenth church opening in the capital during the present reign. Most of them owe their existence to the kindly Initiative and untiring zeal of the - Empress. The new church may be fairly ranked among the finest architectural features of Berlin. The Milltar Wocheblatt publishes new historical documents In connection with the fall of Sedan, the most interesting being extracts fronr'th diary of General Schellendorf. ' '' "-'v.;v. In thanking the German-American veterans for their visit on Friday, Prince Bismarck, referring to his failing health, said: "I can still look on, but I cannot take part. Otherwise I should have visited the exhibition at Chicago. I' should -dearly have loved to have seen the . United States of America, which of all countries is the most sympathetic to us." An Impressive Scene. LONDON, Sept. L A dispatch to the Standard from - Berlin, describing the dedication of the Memorial Church, says: "One side of the entrance was flanked with veterans and the other, side with school children. Deputations from all the regiments of which Emperor William I was colonel were also present. After Emperor William had greeted Herr Blumenthal and others architect Schwechten made a short speech and presented the keys.. While the assembly was entering the church the band played "The Heavens Are Telling" and the hallelujah chorus. On leaving the procession stopped in front of the church and all joined in elnging, with a grand and thrilling effect, "Elne Feste Burg 1st Unser Gott.' " The Dally News Berlin correspondent says: "The Empress looked very well, and her appearance was a sufficient contradiction of the rumors regarding her health. One of the most impressive moments of the ceremony was when the imperial couple were leaving the church. While standing on the topmost step the crowds outside burst Into the strain of 'Die Wacht am Rheln.' The well-known strains were caught up by the thousands who lined the adjacent streets, and even the deep booming of the bells were powerless against the volume of sound. Their majesties were visibly moved, and remained standing until the last. verse was sung. "To-night, by the Emperor's orders, the ballet milltalre which was given when the old Emperor returned a victor from the war, was performed at the Royal Opera." Celebration tt Milwaukee. MILWAUKEE, Wis., Sept. 1. Thousands of Germans took part in the celebration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the battle of Sedan at Milwaukee Garden to-day. A big parade was held in the afternoon, which was followed at the park by speechmaking and general enjoyment, the festivities ending with a ball. The principal addresses were made by Emli Court, of Milwaukee, and Prof. Ramge, of Elmhurst, 111. Both extolled the services of the veterans, saying that they were now trying to be good American citizens as they have been of Germany, and that all that was commendable in the German character had been brought to this country and made a part of the foundation of the Union. Sedan-Day Celebration. CINCINNATI, O., Sept. l.Ten thousand Germans celebrated the Sedan at the Zoogarden to-day. The German imperial consul, Herr Pllller, presided. Mayor Caldwell spoke in English and Judge A. H. Bode in German. Local German choral societies did the singing. Trains were crowded with German excursionists from all neighboring cities. The celebration closed with fireworks to-night. . THE SCLTAX IX A PLIGHT. Unable to Secnre 'Assistance for Any qf the Pon-ers. LONDON. Sept. 2. A dispatch to the Daily News from Constantinople reports that meetings of the ministers have taken place at the palace on three successive evenings, lasting until midnight, to discuss the Armenian question. It is reported, also, that Emperor William has been asked to intervene, but declined, on the ground that the Porte had already disregarded his advice to Introduce reforms. Then President Faure was approached, but declined to act except in concert with the powers. The IlnitKlnfC of Stokes. LONDON, Sept. l.It was learned to-day from a trustworthy source that the Englishman Stokes, hung by the Belgians.under Captain Lothalre, near the river Aruwlmi, in the Congo State, which was mentioned in a previous cable, had ' a lengthy trial, but that Captain Lothalre acted illegally in hanging him without allowing an appeal to the tribunal at Boma, Le Mat'.n. of Paris. decares that the Congo State authorities possess a letter which Captain Lugard wrote to the chairman of the East Africa Company, warning him that If he laid hands on Stokes he would make short work of him.

The Catholic See of Lincoln Attain Shaken by ttee Winds of Discord. OMAHA, Neb.. Sept. 1. After two months of profound calm the Roman Catholic See of Lincoln is again stirred by an episcopal breeze. In the latter part of June Bishop Bonacum issued an order suspending and deposing Fathers Fitzgerald and Murphy, stationed at South Auburn and Tecumsch, respectively, the order to take effect July 13. This was a document of much significance, inasmuch as Bishop Bonacum stated that his acts were subject to the approval, of the College of the Propaganda, at Rome. For some unknown reason the order of deposition was not enforced. It i3 said to have been annulled by Mgr. Satolli, the apostolic delegate, without waiting for the consent of the Propaganda. The priests continued peacefully in the performance of their duties until last Friday, when an episcopal messenger attempted to serve on them a citation to appear for trial before the Bishop. The priests refused to receive the document,, and the messenger departed without accomplishing his object. The priests say they will not stand trial on any charges based on their conduct in filing charges against the bishop, as canon law forbids the renewal of cases already decided.

Allen, the Omaha music teacher and organist, who attempted to commit suicide by shooting himself on a Central train on the way from the East last Friday morning, was entirely successful in killing himself to-day. He was a patient atthe Fitch Hospital, where he had been taken to have his bullet wound dressed, and last night got hold of a bottle of carbolic acid and swallowed such a large dose that he died within an hour. When discovered he was unconscious and efforts to resuscitate him were unavailing. Allen was a man of family, whose daughter Is studying music in New York and whose son is employed in the composing room of a New York paper. He would have inherited large estates in Belfast, Ireland, on the death of his father, but grew tired of waiting for the inheritance and weary of life. His body is at the morgue, awaiting the coming of his relatives. MILITIA FOR ISHPEMIXG. Several Companies En Ronte to Scene of the Labor Troubles. CALUMET, Mich..

Chicago's Red Flasr Socialists. CHICAGO, Sept. l.The Chicago Socialists had their red flag presentation to-day, but the presence of the police and the knowledge .that there was a large reserve In all of the stations made it a very tame affair. The flag was presented to the Socialists by a daughter of Oscar Neeb on behalf of the wives and daughters of the radicals in the city. It is blood red, and one side bears the inscription, "Socialistic Labor Party of Chicago." The police were informed that it was the intention of the Socialists to have a parade after the presentation ceremonies, and that the flag would be carried at its head, but the officers Informed the committee that no such parade would be permitted, and the idea was given up. The speeches were very tame, having none of the old-time radical ring in them. There was considerable disappointment because Keir,Hardie failed to put in an appearance, as it had been announced that he would address the a&semblaze. Debs Is Their Guiding- Star. CINCINNATI.

The Rochester Strike. ROCHESTER. N. Y., Sept. l.The Buffalo garment workers branch to-night wired Secretary Hoffman that they would stop the manufacture of all Rochester clothing at once. "By Wednesday," said Secretary Hoffman to-night, "you may say every clothing manufactory in the city will be tied up, and when they are closed they will not open until we have secured our rights." The bosses are watching closely . every movement- made by the strikers. They show no Indications of giving in, and hope ultimately to break the union. The manufacturers say there are willing to do all in their power to effect a reconciliation, but the question of hiring nonunion men must be settled between the bosses and strikers themselves.

AFRICA'S CUP RACES

FISST OF THE FIVE CONTESTS TO i TAKE PLACE OX SATl'HD.W. Defender's Mast in a Dancerons Condition nnd Said to .Need netenptna; Steam Yacht Damaged. NEW YORK, Sept. l.-The conference between Lord Dunraven an 1 the cup committee;., last n!ght, resulted in the Issuance of the following by the New York Yacht Club: ."The match for the America's cup will consist 'of best three out of five races; over courses thirty nautical miles In length with a tjmc limit of six hours. The match w!ll begin on Sept. 7. and will be continued on alternate days. The races will be started OffiSandy Hook lightship, the preparatory signal being given at lOuO a. m., and the starting signal at 11 o'clock. A morning paper will say that to-night the; machinists at work In the hold of Defender, on the dry dock In Erie basin, discovsred an accident "to her mast that will necessitate Its being unstepped and reset in a new mortice or wedged in the iron. The discovery was a fortunate one. says the' paper, for had thcr Defender of the Anv?rica's cup left the dry dock and gone to nea with her mast in the condition in which the accident has placed It she would have gone to the bottom in the first puff or wind that struck her sails. The new mast, which was put In at Bristol, R. L, In the Herreshoff shops, is stepped in a mortice and braced to the hull by stout iron braces, four In number, two on the port and wo on the starboard side. So great has been the strain on the tennon mast that it and the mortice have been chafed and the big stick wobble5 about with a half foot of Kpace about Its base. It has lurched from one side to the other until It has dragged the stout Iron braces attached to the hull almost from their fastenings, and last night, when the damage was first tliscov;red, they were holding to the hull by a mere thread. Machinists were put to work immediately to repair the damage, and six new braces of angled iron will have to be substituted for the strained braces. In order to reset the mast it will have to be lifted Out of the mortice by a derrick. Yankee Doodle Damaged by Fire. PHILADELPHIA, Sept. l.The steam racing yacht Yankee Dooodle, owned by McBrlde Bros., of this city, was damaged by fire to-day to such an extent as to incapacitate her for service hereafter. The Messrs. McBridc, with a party of twelve friends, had steamed down the Schuylkill river on a pleasure trip. Near the foot of the city, a quantity of oil escaped from the boat's tank and became ignited. The party was safely landed, but the boat's machinery was damaged to the extent of $6,000, and she was otherwise injured. A similar yacht of the same name and ownership was destroyed by the bursting of her boilers while racing on the Schuylkill, on July 4, 1892. A mile record of one minute and forty seconds was claimed for the yacht burned to-day. She was recently backed for a race on Long' Island sound, with the Rex. Norwood and Vamoose, but on her way over ran into a canal boat near Princeton, and knocking a hole in her bottom, had to forfeit the race. J. Arthnr Brand's Mission. LONDON. Sept. 2. J.

An editorial in the Graphic this morning advises Englishmen, considering Valkyrie'9 tenderness in a wind, not to be cock-sure of her winning the cup. tA HLWG CHANG'S PROMOTION. Probable Menninjr of the Chinese Bist inarck's Appointment. New York HtTald. The summoning of Li Hung Chang to Peking, there to assume the rank and duties of Imperial Chancellor, is an event of considerable significance. Its precise meaning, however, , is in the absence of further details, involved in some obscurity. It is possible that the Emperor, still Jealous : ot the immense authority wieldea by Li Hung Chang as viceroy of Pechili, is onco more attempting to curb his too pow-, ertul subject by luring him to Peking, where he may easily be kept under trie imperial thumb or be extinguished altogether. If : this be the Emperor's object, and Li Hurig Chang have a suspicion of the truth, the imperial summons will very likely prove as ineffectual as previous orders of a similar kind have been. Should LI resolve to remain where he is it will not be the first time that Kwangsu has unsuccessfully attempted to bring him to Peking. Even since his return from Japan, after concluding the preliminaries of peace, Li Hung Chang has more than once been ordered to go up to Peking, but he has always found an excuse for not doing so in the wound inflicted by Koyama's pistol shot. He understood the perils involved in a v?sit to, the Pink Forbidden City,, where bis enemies have toiled unceasingly to poison the young Emperor's ears against him, and with his customary astuteness and audacity he politely declined to stir. It may be that in the present instance the fowler is again spreading his nets In sigbt of the bird, and that history will repeat itself once more in Li Hung Chang's wary refiisal to be trapped. On the other hand, it may be that the great Viceroy is really, wanted in Peking for tho purpose of carrying out a distinct policy. Hitherto all Li's influence and that of the. Empress Dowager has scarcely been able to stand against the savage obstinacy of the reactionarifs of the capital. These retrogressive politicians were bitterly opposed to Li's peace policy and its culmination in the treaty of Shlmonosekl. A little while ago. when Taotal Lo, one of Li's trusted satellites, went up to Peking to interpret certain clauses of the treaty be-, fere the Tsungll-Yamen the document being 'written in English he was afraid to appear before the infuriated Ministers, who 'openly threatened him with death for his temerity in translating the infamous record of China's shame. If Li has been summoned to Peking in good faith and with honest Intentions, these .blind and reactionary elements have evidently been brought under control, and an enlightened policy Is being aimed at by the Emperor and his advisers. ' , A . 'Ti The Imperial Chancellorship offered to Ld is apparently a new office created exprestly for the Vleerov and probably Invested with special and extensive powers. The Reneral central administration of China under the Emperor consists of what may be called two Inner Cabinets and a number of nominally subsidiary boards controhing separate departments of state. The two. Cabinets are the Grand Secretariat and the General Council. The former, termed in Chinese Niu Koh, is nominally the more important, and has always existed under the Chinese . .w TAii 1 ro n n Kmpercrs. it is, compos VA '"J TriZ.T Secretaries, two Manchu and two Chinese, and two assistants. To assist the secretaries and their asistants are ten learned men (hioh-sv). who are generally doctors of the Hanlln College. . The duties of the Niu Koh are many and varied. They are in the clo?J!8t con.ta with the sovereign, to whom they submit all papers, and from whom they rec'-Ue the rerlses and instructions upon which the official edicts are drawn up. The officers of the Secretariat also kep the imperial seals, of which there are twenty-five forms, usee! for different documents and rtepart"TheKiun K!

SEATTLE'S (illKAT SHIP CA.L. An Improvement Whirh Will 31nk.e the Western City I'nlque. New York Mail and Express. While the great ChJca.tjo drainage canal, which is to turn the waters of tne lakes into the Mississippi, has been attracting the attention Of tne engineers of th world, a work has been quietly commenced, on the border of Puget ouna hardly less important from a commercial and naval point of view, which may make Seattle the Chlcaso of the Pacilic Northwest. Seattle has a topography in many respects unique anion? the cities or the world. It is situated upon the east shorn of the great American Mediterranean, its streets rising tier on tier, facing the sound, and the majectic snow-clad Olympic on the western shore. Four miles back from the sound la Iake Washington. & beautiful inland fresh water lake, twenty miles long and from three to five miles wide, lying nearly parallel with the sound. Aheady Seattle has reached out until it covers nearly the whole territory intervening between the salt water and th fresh, and a line of electric cars runs to lake Washington, on which many of tha residents of Seattle have built summer homes. A ship canal connecting1 Lake Washington with the sound has been the dream of Seattle from its infancy. It has even been made the issue of a State campaign, and for more than forty years the general government has been recommendd to construct the waterway a? the approach to a splendid inland harbor, where the navies of the world might ride at anchor, and where the dreaded and destructive teredo would dro; harmlessly from the hulls, which In salt water are cleaned only by dry docking. Congress did finally maka an appropriation of J2T,(k0 for pre'.immary surveys, but meantime Seattle and W nc county, impatient of delay, raised a subsidy of $Ti0,0o0. while Eastern capitalists subscribed $7,000,010 for the great work, which has now been actually commpneed. In front of Seattle is Elliott bay. where lies an immense area of tide flats, useless alike for docks or for building purpose?. When the waterway was really determine upon on ingenious engineer figured out that the material excavated for the canal would exactly suffice to reclrm these tiia flats and make them available for commercial purposes. The two enterprises, therefore, supplement each other almost perfectly, and are being operated together. Lake Washington lies sixteen feet ahov high tide in Puget sound. The canal will run through a neck of land 10, feet wl ie. and will be extended through the flats an additional lvVO fet. so that its lenpth from deep water in the sjund to dpep water in the lake will be 20.7ST) feet, or Z.n miles. The hill section is projected through th high lands due east of the flats. It plunges Into a hill of glacial drift where a cut of 308.5 feet will be required: then it nter a valley in which the lowest point will be 31.i feet; then into another hill, rising 14 6 feet above the bed of the canal, and finally through a slough into the lake. The canal will be eighty feet wide on t., bottom and twenty-six feet derp at low water. Near Elliott bay, on the west, a lock will be built 400 feet long and fifty feet wide. . '..,' The completion of the canal will eppn up to improvement the entire shore of tho inland lake, while the filling of the tide flats will contribute a large and convenient acreage for manufactories, for railroad yards and docks, increasing greatly the deep wate front.ige of the city. 'It will furnish a safe and accessible freshwater harbor for war ships, merrhant vessels anl steam craft of every description, and will endow 4he city of Seattle vlth facilities for commerce enjoyed by few of the most favored seaports of the world. SILK CTLTMIE IX PRISON'. An Industry Cnrrleil on Saeeessfnllr In n Woman's Reformatory. Boston Transcript. Mrs. Ellen C. Johnson has been superintendent of the woman's prison at Sherboni for more than ten years, and her work for the State has been supplemented by a personal element of Interest for which th State can make no return but to show by appreciation in a personal way how much the work of reformation Is apprec'ated. for the State of Massachusetts strives to benefit those who are under care in, reformatory institutions, and it .his l!n Ellen C. Johnson stands pre-eminent. One of Mrs. Johnson's efforts has been in th line of silk culture, and Mulberry Park at Sherborn contains 125 handsome mulberry trees, set out In a gift from the nur series of Mrs. Samuel Porter, of Florence. Mass. In 1SS6 seven more trees wersj planted, a gift from the Woman's Silk Culture Association of the fnlted State, through the kindness of Mrs. John Lucas, of Philadelphia. In ISM the first silk worms were raised at the prison, the number bing increased each year, as rapidly as possiblethe question of sufficient food bp'.ng a serious one at times.-as the silk worms axe ravenous creatures and trees grow slowly, but Mrs. Johnson persevered, securing food from various sections. During the season of 1S about 12.000 silk worms were raised, four bushels of mulberry leaves a day being sent from Cambridge for the last ten days of tne season. Th'.s season Mrs. Johnson Imported silk worm eggs from China, but they did not hatch, and for the first time in many years there were no busy spinners in the cocoonery t Sherborn. The reeling of silk is a fine art and very few American women have ever attempted it, but Mrs. Johnson bought a hand reel and studied the matter with infinite patience and succeeded In reeling s'lk from the cocoon during the season of Wl. This silk was exhibited at the Massachusetts Charitable Mechanic Association exhibition in 1K)2, and revived a gol 1 medal. Silk was also reeled. '32-3. but the season of '94 proved disastrous, 4'Vii worms being killed during a thunderstorm, and tho second crop of worms, few in number, were given to students and collectors In the line of natural history. Ihe effect of this work on the women prisoners is good; touching their natures at a high pofnt. they are often led to a realization of higher things and helped to conquer many a stubborn will by the unexrectei kaiing out to newer and better things, which Mrs. Johnson presents In daily practical lssons. Silk culture, as carried nn at Sherborn. Is educational. The collection was shown at Chicago, and attracted much attention, and a sample of the silk reeled, presenting a beautiful golden surface, will be sent to the Atlanta exposition.
