to Interest charitable persons to contribute to a fund which snail go to the putting down of wells or fountains for the use of the pariah, or outcast class, who number In the presidency of Madras 9,000,000 of tbs 4f,0M,00Q of people In that

presidency.

The prince travels at his own expense, and the money that may be given for (he object to which be ^evotes his time and his Income Is to be sent to Chicago A detailed statement of all moneys received will bo filed with the British con-

sul in Chicago.

The money wilt he transmitted by the treasurer to the Commercial Bank of India, at Madras, the depository of the fund, to be expended under the direction at an advisory committee, and a statement of the expenditures, authenticated by a public auditor, with the location of the memorial wells, will be returned to this committee. The fund Is called “The Pariah Well Fund.** "1 arrived In this country,” said the f rlnce to a News reporter, “last June. visited New York city and Newport, stayed through the winter in Philadelphia and have been in Chicago, to which place I will return on Monday. About the middle of July I will return to England and thence to India. I have organised two committees to receive contributions to the parish well fund. The matter of caste In India Is peculiar and difficult of treatment. We have flva castes; first, the priestly; second, the princely, to •which I belong; third, the commercial; fourth, the artisans and farmers, and fifth, the pariahs or outcasts. The outcasts are the original Inhabitants of the country, and to this caste has been added those of the upper castes who have * broken the social laws of their

-ewsies:

•’The four upper oaktee have many things In common—schools, temples, water fountains, trading places- In a word, all social and religious functions except eatInj and drinking and inter-marrying. The nigh-caste Hindoo eethetleally might be fft eatly moved to see s starving tlgrees. He might have sensibilit ies so tender that he would sot hill a fly. He might •ven entertain the thought of throwing himself before the starving tigress that ahs might have food, but he would not allow a famishing pariah to drink water from the same fountain as himself, and he would consider himself contaminated to have even the shadow of the outcast

fall upon the fountain.

“The source of water supply for these outcasts, for the moat part. Is ditches and stagnant pools. In summer, when •ven these sources dry up. thslr sufferings Increase. The conduct of the upper classes toward these pariahs is most Inhuman from whatever religious point It la viewed. England has opened primary schools for the outcaate^ and we are going to give them water fountains. It la through these material things that Christianity will earn their gratitude. Those fountains will he the best preach-

hrs wa can send to them."

LOOKING WEST ALONG THE UNION TRACKS FR0V THE VIRG NIA AVENUE VIADUCT.

COMPTROLLER MAKES FORMAL ANNOUNCEMENT.

August Pint Hs will Say How Much—Lack of Board of Works Business. In his report, submitted to Mayor Tagfart at th* Cabinet meeting to-day, City Comptroller Johnson set out the necea»lty of a temporary loan. H® did not estimate the amount of the loon that will be neceeeary. That Is reserved until the time when the loan is to be made, August L To show that & loan is Inevitable Mr. Johnson states In his report that the balance due the city from taxes, at the present time. Is |25y.909.62. In the bridge fund there remains Ili8.138.99. The current accounts, payable July 1, will exceed $125,000. The miscellaneous receipts of the municipal government amount to about $20,000. The report also shows that the first Installment of taxes for 1899, amounting to $394.692.38, has been turned over to the treasurer by the auditor of Marlon county. John W. Kern, city attorney, represented the department of law at the meeting. He was asked as to the probability of a ruling of the Supreme Court on the cases Involving the validity of the street Improvement provisions of the city charter. In a recent Interview with one of the Judges of the Supreme Court, Mr. Kern said he had ascertained that no ruling would be made before October. The failure to rule before adjournment has practically put the Board of Works "out of business," President Sahm reported. The advisability of compelling the street railway company to construct a track on the east entrance of Garfield Park was not acted on. Mayor Taggart Inquired of City Engineer Jeup If there was foundation for the report that electrolysis would cause the Indiana avenue bridge to weaken. He was answered in the negative. The Meridian street bridge will be completed August 15 and the Illinois street bridge two months later, he said.

INTERURBAN FRANCHISES.

Conference of City and Greenfield Line Officials. Mayor Taggart and his cabinet held a meeting with the officials and the attorney of the Greenfield & Franklin Traction Company to-day The object was to formulate a franchise which will be acceptable to both the city and the company. The main question Is the acceptance and Issuance of transfers by the Interurban line. The Board of Works wishes the company to Issue transfers to the Indianapolis Street Hallway Company and to accept the transfers of the local corporation. It le not thought that either of the street car companies will agree to It, and It is not believed that the city has the power to force the matter The board and the Greenwood line have practically agreed that the fares shall be the same as th<>se charged by the Indianapolis Street Railway Company for carrying passengers inside the city" limits. It will be stipulated in the franchise that the fare tickets of the Indianapolis company shall be accepted os fare The board desires that a station for passengers and freight be established. It is probable that a union station will be constructed, but In case there is no agreement between the interurban companies which will lead to this, each will be required to maintain a station of its own.

Annexation Ordinaacs. On the petition of M. J. Osgood. C. S. Lewis and other property owners, an ordinance will be introduced in Council Monday night to annex ail that territory between Pennsylvania and Thirtieth street and Fall creek.

ARMSTRONG PARK SUIT. Injunction Asked to Prevent Sale of Liquors There. Attorney E’.i F. Ritter, in behalf of Robert E Crist and other North Indianapolis residents, asked the Circuit Court, to-day, for an Injunction to restrain John. James W and Ed J Armstrong from permitting intoxicating liquors to be sold in Armstrong Park, and to restrain the Indianapolis Street Railway Company from hauling passengers away from the park who arc in a drunken condition, noisy or profane One plaintiff asks damages and the others $hO each. The hearing was set for July 5.

WORK OF CONSTRUCTION. Indianapolis Southern May Begin Within a Month. J. E. McGettigan, vice-president and general manager of the IndianajKtfia Southern road, says that contracts for actual construction may be let within thirty days. Many details have been arranged within the last few days. There may be some slight changes in the route. Several towns are pulling hard to get the road. “I have been in the railroad business a good while.’’ said Mr. McGettigan. "but in promoting I have never seen such a general demand for a railroad. The citizens. taxi-ayers and others are wrtiling almost everywhere to carry burdens in order that the road may come their way. Usually In securing right-of-way and other concessions the promoters of a railro&a must contend with stubborn opposition from certain property owners, but not so in the case of the Indianapolis Southern." Changes at the Union Station. Luther Poland has been promoted to be day" station master at the Union station in place of Frank Rogers, who will have one of the large gates in charge. Albert Ray will succeed Mr. Poland as assistant day station master, and Mr. Roney will take Mr. Ray’s place on one of the small gates. The night force will remain as it Is now constituted, with "Jack" Lewis in charge. Mr. Rogers has been assistant station master and station master for about eleven years. Poland Is credited with being one of the best Informed and most accommodating employes about the station.

To Preach to Railroad Men. The Rev. C. C. Rowllnson, pastor of the Third Christian church, at Ash and Thirteenth streets, extends an imitation to all railroad men and their families to attend the services at the Third Christian church to-morrow, at 10:30 a. m., when he wishes to preach to the railroad men.

Another Shanghai dispatch says: “Chinese officials declare they have imperial authority for stating the foreign ministers left Pekin for Tiep-Tsin via Pao-Ting-Fu, June 2S.

Arrangements for his sailing had been quietly completed by United States Consul McWade. The possibility of a rebellion in Canton and the necessity of organizing a reliable corps of 10,000 men are among the chief reasons for the edict detaining Ll. One hundred and thirty pirates and boxers were beheaded yesterday by Li s orders to terrorize lawbreakers. The position at Chung-Ktng Is critical, and the steamer Pioneer has been detained. Wolseley is Alarmed. Lord Wolseley says: "China possesses et'ery requisite for overrunning the world. She has a population of 400,000,000. She has enormous wealth. Her men.

Gallant but Futile Effort to Reach Pekin. LONDON. June 30.—The adventure of the hard-fighting allies under Admiral Seymour, their arrival at Anting, twelve miles from Pekin, the decision to retreat and the capture of rice and Immense stores of arms and ammunition, affording material for defense until relieved, are told In this dispatch from Admiral Seymour, received by the admiralty at midnight: ‘•Tlen-Tsln, June 27 — Via Che Foo, June 29. 10:06 p. m.—Have returned to Tten-Tsin with the forces, having been unable to reach Pekin by rail. June 13, two attacks on the advance guard were made by the boxers, who were repulsed with considerable loss to them and none on our side.

"We pushed forward to Anting, and engaged the enemy, June 13 and 14. inflicting a loss of 175. There were no casualties on our side. "Extensive destruction of the railway In our front having made further advance by rail Impossible, I decided, June 16. to return to Yang-Tsun. where it wm proposed to organize an advance by the river to Pekin. After my departure from Lang-Yang, two trains left to follow were attacked, June 18, by boxers and imperial troops from Pekin, w-ho lost from 400 to &» killed. Our casualties were six killed and forty-eight wounded. These trains Joined me at Yang-Tsun the same evening. Railway Destroyed. “The railway at Yang-Tsun was found entirely demolished, and the trains could rot be moved.

AGREEMENT REJECTED.

Chinese Want No Foreign Interference in Southern Provinces. WASHINGTON. D. C., June 30.-The State Department has the terms of the agreement between our consuls and the Chinese viceroys, looking to the protection of foreign interests in the southern province In China. The first step to this end was Indicated in Secretary Hay’s cablegram of last Wednesday to the American consuls In China, asking them to take direct action instead of waiting on possible communications with Minister Conger. The outcome Is the nine articles of agreement. The text Is withheld here from publication. It Is understood Us general purpose la to make neutral the Chinese treaty ports at Nanking and Hankow. The neutralization Involves the withdrawal of foreign men-of-war from the • treaty ports, and of any foreign troops or sailors. leaving to the Chinese authorities and the residents of Shanghai and the other ports the preservation of order. At Shanghai, the foreign settlements have organized a very effective home guard, so that this port would be much safer as a refuge for foreigners than any other in that part of China. The Cabinet failed to ratify the agreement at yesterday's meeting. The document was regarded as properly open to such doubt os to warrant the belief that the foreign consuls, ns a body, certainly never entered Into the agreement. It appears that the consuls bound themselves to acquit the Chinese government of any responsibility for rioting, murder and pillage in the treaty ports if any foreign worship should enter such port in violation of the agreement No safeguard was even interposed to secure the exemption of warships whose commanders might be unaware of the state of affairs in the treaty porta and the prohibition against their entry. Dispatches to Paris say none of the Chinese consuls will sign the agreement until authorized to do so by their home government.

THE CABINET MEETS.

Decides to Do Nothin? Just Now— A Message from Ragsdale. WASHINGTON. D. C. June 30.-A1-though 111, Secretary Hay came over to his office at noon, being the senior Cabinet officer in town. In the President's absence, he sent immediately for the Secretary of War and the Secretary of the Navy. These officials responded at once, and a Cabinet council was held In Secretary Hay's office. The Chinese situation was the subject of discussion. All of ths official dispatches received were carefully considered. The conclusion reached was that nothing has developed warranting a change of policy at this stage. So it was decided that no further instructions should be dispatched to our naval commander in China, nor have more troops been ordered there. The following cablegram has been received from United States Consul Ragsdale at Tlen-Tsln. dated the 27th inst., beirg the first conrrrounlcation received from that officer in nearly two weeks; “Siege of Tlen-Tsln raised. Troops sent for the relief of the legations returned in vain, fighting seven separate battles. American loss, six killed, thirtyfight wounded. On the 19th the ministers were given twenty-four hours to leave Pekin. Refused. Still there "RAGSDALE."

MINISTERS DID NOT LEAVE.

Kempff Says at Last Accounts They Were at Pekin. WASHINGTON. D. C.. June 90—The Nevy Department hss received ths following cablegram from Admiral Kempff: “CHE FOO. June SO. “Secretary Navy. Washington: “Ministers at Pekin were given twentyfour hours to leave, on the 19th- They refused, and are still there.

Four were killed and twenty-five wounded, and ensigns McCaito. and Taussig were wounded, not seriously. Not over 14.000 troops ashore.
