After mouths of diplomatic work several Chinamen have succeeded in obtaining consent to establish a stamp mill and quartz mull in Sang Tong, China. Chicago will supply $130,- 000 worth of machinery for the enterprise, the first of its character to be attempted in the Celestial Empire. Teng Sing Kow and Tom Ping Chew have been in Chica: engaged in completing arrangements for the transportation of the machinery, Kow wil so for some tite take with him a Chicago engineer to superin- tend the works, It was known thai uable quartz deposits existed in Sang ‘Tong, but the ewperor refused to allow the mines to be worked, but the offer of a teuth of the profits of the concern induced the ruler tc give his consent. The Chinese miners will leave tor Sang Tong within a few days, Kow is an ex- pert telegrapher.

MOULTON’S HOPES. He Thinks He Has ‘‘a Good Fighting hance” for Election to Congress. “We have a good fighting chance, I think, this time,” said Mr. H. B. Moulton of the Washington bar this morning to a Star re- porter. He was yesterday nominated for Con- gress from the sixth congressional district of Maryland by a prohibition convention at Frederick. “You see,” be went on, “our platform is identical with that of the Farmers’ Alliance. The principles are the same. In Montgomery county and in Howard county the alliance has already in- dorsed our platform, and I have no doubt that the same course will be pursued in the other counties, I believe that our ticket will poll a good vote, At any’rate we are going in to win and will make the campaign a lively one,” Mr. Moulton in speaking of his nomination said that he supposed it was due to his having been prominent in temperance work in Mont- gomery county and other parts of the state. He said ghat be had bad his country residence at Washington Grove, Montgomery county, for the past five years, and was besides quite a large owner of property in that county. He spoke of the great temperance gathering which it was proposed to hold at Hagerstown on the 28th of this month, aud said that it was ex- pected to be one of the most important gather- ings ever held in the state. ploncid can THE TRIAL OF THE CONCORD. Experimenting With a New System of Forced Draught. A letter has been received at the Navy De- partment giving an account of the preliminary trial trip of the gunboat Concord in Delaware bay Monday. The vessel was under way four hours and forty minutes, two-thirds of the time under forced draught. Under natural draught the steam prossure at the boilers ranged from 130 to 150 pounds and the engines, partly throttled down, made from 125 to 130 revolu- tions, Under forced draught the engines were Riven more steam and averaged about 140 revo- lutions, running at times as high as 150. The to 130 pounds, due to the firemen being unac- customed to feeding forced-draught fires, The Concord and her twin, the Bennington, are boats of the Yorktown class, but are re- quired by contract to develop 3,400 horse power, being 400 more than the requirement for the Yorktown, The only important differ- ence between these vessels and the Yorktown is in the systems of forced draught. In the York- town the air is forced into the closed fire rooms, while in the Concord and Bennington and the San Francisco the air is carried ito closed ash pits. Those are the first vessols in which the closed ash-pit system has been used, aud their official trials will be watched with much interest. The air pressure on the Concord yes terday varied from an inch to an inch and a half in the main duct. The machinery of the vessel worked very smoothly and she made good specd. She will be ready for her official trial in a short ti WOMAN AND THE BALLOT, A Favorable Report From the Senate Committee. The Senate committee on woman suffrage reported to the Senate yesterday a resolution for a constitutional amendment to extend the right of suffrage to woman, In the report ac- companying the resolution the committee says that prejudice and custom have denied the suf- frago to women, but that it is impossible to give a reason for its exercise by men which does not apply with equal or greater force in favor of its exercise by women, There may be reasons why neither should vote. But having vested the sovereignty of the government in men alone (one-half the individuals who con- stitute socicty) the American people find them- selves confronted by the logie of their own precepts and actions when they deny to women the like exercise of the suffrage which is the government, Voting is conceded to be an aét of the mind, in the perfection of which the body is merely an instrumentality, Its object is the creation and enforcement ot law. Woinen have equal claims with men on society. The only distinction made is in physical condition, If woman's physical powers of defense are le she should be permitted to call in those intei. lectual and moral forces for her preservation of which she is an equal or larger participant than man, ‘The committee says that the reso- lution is reported not merely because of the abstract right of woman to vote where that | right belongs to man, but on the broader ground thas the spirit of the Constitution re- quires it, LIQUOR LAW CASES, Several Tried in the Police Court To- day A colored man named Lloyd Edwards, the proprietor of a cook shop near 10th street and Florida avenue, was before Judge Mills this morning charged with keeping an unlicensed bar, Five colored men wero cuiled as witnesses and questioned as to whether they had ob- tained liquor in the defendant's cook shop, but ach of them denied that he had. Maj. Car- rington, who represented the defendant, said something about a malicious prosecution, but Mr. Armes told him that he was mistaken, Policeman Lynch, he said, told him that he suw four of these men come out of the defen- dant’s place, and some of them were under the influence of liquor, The charge was dismissed for want of proot, A NEW POLICEMAN’S GLASS OF BEER. Louis Gmelin, who keeps a saloon at No. 1310 E strect, was next led fo: alleged viola- tion of the liquor law, Policeman Herbert was the principal witness, Me is a new officer and is evidently not acquainted about the city. He at first said that Gmiclin’s place was at No. 1130 13th street and then he changed it to 1130 E street, He remembered, however, that he got a glass of beer from the defendant and paid 5 cents for it. Another witness called was able to locate the place. Mr. Forrest asked for a dismissal of the charge on the government's proof; but the court held otherwise aud im- posed a fine of $20, Mr. Forrest noted un appeal. TWO CASES DISMISSED. The noxt whisky case called was an interest- ing one, in which Henry Nelson. president of the Macedonia Social Club, was defendant, The club recently gave a picnic at Thurston's Park in Ivy City and they purchased all the privi- ieged of the grounds, including the bar, und hence the prosec Mr, Crbil argued the ase for the defendant and the charge was dismissed. Lawyer Cahill also defended Patrick Tobin, who was charged with a violation of the liquor law, and that case was also dismissed. sath AMUSEMENTS.

MEN WHO TAKE PICTURES. Business Transacted by the Photogra- phers Today. 4 COMMITTEE TO CONSIDER THE MATTER OF CUT- TING RATES—OFFICERS FOR THE YEAR NOMI- NATED—AN ELECTION TO BE HELD TOMORROW— COMMITTEES APPOINTED FOR VARIOUS MATTERS, The second day's session of the photogra- phers’ convention was a bit late in starting this morning. It was some time after 10:30 when President Appleton pounded on his table bell wiih a gavel and asked for order. There were not so many in the hall but that order was soon obtained, a very calm, attenti id breathless sort of order, such a8 a body of two hundred business men eager for information in the lince of their art might produce under almost any circumstances. There was a kind of expectation of something about to happen, which seems to pervade all conventions after quiet openings, When the sound of the preaident’s bell clanging was heard the members who were in their seats laid aside the books, circulars and sample copies of magazines with which the stock men daily strew the museum, and those in other [eg of the building burried into the lecture all, After the reading of a short letter from an absent member, who was sorry for his in- ebility to be present, the chair announced the appointment of A. J. Riddle of Columbus, Ga..as judge of the exhibit of enlargements in place of Mr. Decker of Cleveland. NEW OFFICERS NOMINATED. ‘ The committee on nominations then made its report, presenting the names of the follow- ing candidates for the offices for next year: President, Geo. Hastings of Boston; first vice president, 8. L. Stein of Milwaukee; second vice president, W. Stuber of Louisville; secre- tary, L. C. Overpeck of Hamilton, Ohio; treas- urer, G. M. Carlisle of Washington. The ele tion of officers will take lace tomorrow morn- ing. THE BANKRUPTCY Law. Mr. McMichaol of Buffalo presented a reso- lution, which was adopted, providing for the appointment of a committee of five to consider the advisability of mdorsing the page f bill now pending in Congress, which, ne said, had receiyed the approval of between 200 and 300 trade ‘and professional organizations, The president appointed the following committee: H. MeMicpael of Buffalo as chairman and Messrs. Guerin, Pelgrift, Entrekin and Motes. A SHOT AT PRICE CUTTERS. Mr. C, W. Davis of Charleston, W.Va, then secured recognition by the chair, and ad- dressed the convention at some length on the subject of the necessity of union among ths photographers in the line of fixing prices, He rst read from an editorial in a trade journal urging consolidation among the members of the association, and then produced a large roll of munuseript, for which he apologized. When he mude* mention of prices a few applauded and others shifted in their chairs anh smiled. The speaker said that there had seemed to be @ disinclination on the part of the members to attack this subject, but at the Boston conven- tion he had determined to be the pioneer and to lead the van He alluded te the price cutters and to some of the stock people im no tender terms and spoke of the oxisting condition of affairs as a “server of low prices.” That he did not uim at the non-professional was evident from the phrase, “our cc-worker and friendly friend, the amateur,” of which he made use. ‘The public, he asserted, would be in favor of higher prices, which would result in better work. He had @ plan, he said, that would “knock the pins from under the wrecker” and prove the salvation of photography, and he asked for the appointment of a committee to consider the scheme and to report to the convention upon its feasibility. He in conclusion brought forth a storin of hand clap- ping. On motion of a member it was agreed to appoint a committee of ten to look into the matter, ‘The chair appointed the committee as follows: C.W. Davis, chairman; N. Struber, D. R, Coover, E, C. Dana, H. McMichael, W. G. Kimball, L. C. Overpeck, D. M. Baker and L. Bowersox, E. Decker. A BUREAU OF INFORMATIO! On motion of Mr. Raugh of Rochester it was decided vo establish a permanent bureau of in- formation under the charge of the second vice president. A member moved that the dealers’ stock exhibit be thrown open to the public free of charge without waiting for the day set apart for the public. This was carried, NOT ADMITTED, Ong of the delegates made an effort on be- halt of a certain Canadian photographer, who had neglected to enter his exhibit in time and who wished now to compete for the foreign medal.

Thiy suggestion brought forth so many protests that the mover withdrew his request, The convention adjourned at 11:30, ART CRITICISMS ON PHOTOGRAPRY, At 7:30 this evening there will be a session devoted to “art criticisms on photography,” conducted by Mr. J. Scott Hartley, the artist who made the Daguerre memorial, based on the photographs submitted for exhibition, PRESIDENT J. M. APPLETO! ‘The sessions of the convention are presided over by a mild mannered, kindly faced gentle- man of medium height, whose soft gray eyes have s habit of twinkling when anything funny occurs at the meetings, although the outward demeanor of the man is altogether presidential and dignified. This is Mr. J. M. Appleton of Dayton, Ohio, a professional photographer of the first rank, who was elected to the highest office in the association at the last convention. Unfortunately there is an unwritten law that the president shall serve for but one term, and accordingly Mr. Appleton will be succeeded at the next convention by another. It is regarded asa misfortune, for the present head is ac- knowledged on all sides to be one of the clever- est helmsmen the organization has ever had. His careful, shrewd, conservative management of the affairs of the body, coupled with his tireless efforts to benefit his colleagues, have endeared him to all, and although the ranks of the association are replete with excellent ma- terial for the presidency, the reign of Mr. Ap- pleton has been marked by such success as to cause many regrets that it is about to close, He was born in Millersburg, Ohio, in Septem- ber, 1848, and there all the early events of his life were enacted, When he was eleven years old his father died and this calamity acted as a check-rein on tho ambition of the lad, who desired a _ college education. By means of hard wor! he succeeded in remaining at school until he became seven- teen, when the urgencies of the situation de- manded that he should turn his hand to labor. In 1868 he caught the photographic fever and became the pupil of a professional in the town of Akron, whom he paid a tuition fee for two months, Atthe end of that time he thought that he knew enough about the art and soon after opened a gallery in his old home. Mr, Appleton received awards for meritorious work early in his photographié catecr. His first prize was for pictures exhibited at the county fair. He then received awards at the state fair and in 1887 his tirst gold medal at the Chicago convention of the P.A. of A. This was for portrait work. The following year, at Min- neapolis, three medals crowned his efforts—one gold, two silver. This represented two first and one second prize, also for portrait work. He was elected vice president of the association at the Minneapolis convention in 1888, fiebeeathe sme GEORGETOWN, Suppen Deara.—Mr. Beauregard Thomp- son died suddenly this mor trom lexy at his father’s residence on street in the twenty-ninth vearof his age.

Notes of the Summer Field Work of the United States Fish Commission. Mr. E. F, Lucas of the commission is now at Yellowstone Park preparing for the deposit of a car load of trout trom the station of the com- mission at Northville, Mich, These will con- sist of Yearling lake troat, 100,000; Von Behr trout, 25,000; Loch Levin trout, 25,000, and brook trout, 25,000. Car No. 2 will be empl in this work. The lake and Loch Levin trout are intended for lakes Shoshone and Lewis; the Von Behr trout go to the Fire Hole and the Perces, and the brook trout go to Gardiner River basin. Lakes Shoshone and Lewis are now destitute oftrout. It is necessary to make the transfer to these lakes by mule pack. ‘This has iuvoived the necessity for the construction of a special st of cans to be strapped to the pack saddles of mules. This will constitute one of the most unique cavalcades ever witnessed. Mr. Lucas will also collect white fish and grayling from the tributaries of the Madison and deposit them in the Yellowstone above the falls, and in Yellowstone lake near its outlet, Grayling will also be planted in the Lava and Tower Creek basins, Capt. Boutelle, superiu- tendent of the park, will afford every assist- ance in the work, Many of the lakes and streams of that region are quite destitute of fish, although abounding in the insect and crustacean life necessary for their food, Cars No. 1and 3 of the commission are now on their way to Quincy, Ill., from which point they will pursue the regular sammer work of distribution of indigenous fishes throughout the Mississippi valley. This work is one of the most important undertaken by the commission in late years. The annual floodings of the low-lying lands of the Mississippi and tributary streams, which result on their subsidence in leaving great numbers of fish stranded to become the prey of beasts, reptiles and birds, or to die lingering deaths, are being taken advantage of to effect a wider general distribution of the more valu- able species by gathering up these waifs and estrays and depositing them in waters which are thought to be — to them and where thoy will be less subject o such dis- astrous influences, Beginning as an experi- ment the value of the work soon became &p- parent in the repopulation of depleted waters and is yearly growing in extent, In 1889 the work was placed in the charge of Dr. 8. P. Bartlett, fish commissioner of the state of Illinois, under whose energetic and skillful management as well as Jotguent it has been greatly extended and ‘rendered more efficient. It has heretofore been the practice of Col. McDonald, the, commissioner of fisheries, to personally operations of distribution trom the headquarters at Wash- ington, and the selection of Dr. Bartlett for this work has afforded him much relief.

Joha D. Keiley at his residence, 213 Clermont ave- nue, Brooklyn, where he was entertained last evening at dinner, The cardinal, with Arch- bishop Kendrick of St. Louis and Archbishop Ryan of Philadelph arrived yesterday morn- ing from Bar Harbor. He was driven to Maj. Kelley's house in Brooklyn, while bis fellow- travelers continued their journey homeward, The cardinal intended to remain in Brooklys until tomorrow, but he iearued yesterday of the illness of his secretary, Dr. Whelan, in Bal- timore, and may on that account go bome to- day. The news of the death of Cardinal Newman deeply affected Cardinal Giobons, and whe n last evening by a Times reporter im Maj, Ketley's parlor he said that the dead ebay man Was generally regarded by Englishme their most distinguished countryman, dinal Newman.” said Cardinal Gibbous, agteat Cathohe and a thorough Englishman, He differed as much from Cardinal Manuing as Moses did from Joshua, Newman, jike Moses, was the coutemplative scholar, ‘while Mauning, like Jost: was a man who fought the battle of life in the world. In the obituaries the papers appear to have cot founded the two in saying that Cardinal News Wan Was a great advocate of the workingmaa and assisted im the settlement of the groat dock laborers’ strike. It was not he, but Car- dinal Manuing, who did all tha ‘ardinal Newman is revered by his country- men regardless of his religious belief. As® literary man he had no English rival excepting perf Matthew Arnold or Lord Macauley, ie had a great versatility of genius and his writings include history, commentaries on the scriptures, polemics and controversies, While Vigorous a8 ai Opponent he was courteous to those against whom he was contending. His popularity began at the time of lis controversy with Charles Kingsley. It was this that cal forth his masterly work, “Apologia Pro Vite Sua,” in i865, which elicited the admiration of the English speaking world. It was, besides, & masterly controversial treatise, an autobio- graphy aud a sketch of the men who were agso- ciated with hum in the Oxford m Cardinal Gibbs regards as th 's ablest work his book on the “Present Po- sition of the Catholic Church in England,” as it contains great literary research and profound reasoning with an infinite fund of bumor, Speaking of Cardinal Newman's personal life aud habits Cardinal Gibbons said: “He lived most modestiy in his oratory near Birmingham, and his suite of rooms was very plainly furnished. In 1830 1 had the pleasure of breakfasting with him, and on that occasion | he gave me the story of the great libel suit in which he was the defendaut and was finally beaten and mulcted ip a verv heavy fine. Ine course of lectures be animadverted on the con- | duct of an ex-priest named Achiili, and though Dr. Newman ciearly proved on the trial the truth of the charges he made the jury found Sgainst him, His fine was a very large amount of money damages, and it was raised by the voluntary contributions of the people. Indeed, so much did Gladstone feel the indignity put upon Dr. Newman that he would have moved that an elopement occurred night, The principals ip for a public expression of regret in parliament had not the cardinal peremptorily opposed i,” +e AFTER TIMBER THIEVES. A Land Office Expedition to Picket the Canadian Border, The New York World today says: On Septem- ber 1 an expedition will set out from Duluth on an errand of extreme delicacy and importance, and which may be fraught with something of the same interest that attaches to the Bebring sea matter. Four special agents of the General Land Office, accompanied by an armed posse of sixteen men, will start on that day to investigate the alleged robbery of valu- able timber by Canadian lumbermen from pub- lic lands in what is known as the “Rainy River Country” in Wisconsin, The territory is re- mote and undeveloped and can only be reached by the use of canoes, ‘The charge is that for the past ten years rob- bing partics from Canada have come down there every fall aud carried off valuable timber, ‘The forests of white and Norway pine there are reckoned among the The depredatious for the last year alone are es- timated at 150,000,000 feet. The profits, of course, are enormuus, and the people of this country are the sufferers in two ways, In the first place the timber is stolen from them, and m the second place the sawed lumber is brought batk into the Dukotas and other horthwestern states and brought inte comper tition with the product of American mills, howe estly obtained. Complaint on this score has several times been lodged with the Interior Departweut, but has until now gone unheeded, At last, however, the department is aroused, and what is to extend ito a practical inspece tion and picketing of the whole Canadian bor- er, With the View of running down alen tim ber thieves, is to be inaugurated. te ‘D OF A CLIFF TOW A Cloud Burst Carried Away the Stairway That Led Up to ik, From Harper's Weekly. Abouta mile from Acoma is La Mesa En- cantada (the Enchauted Hall) with perpendie- ular wall rising 400 feet high from the plain, There is a weird tradition of this lofty cliff re- lated by Mr. Jas. W. Steele, who states that om this mesa was anciently the home of the peo- ple of Acoma. One day in harvest time the whole population of the town—men, women and children—with the exception of three ail- ing women, were in the valley below, working together, according to their custom on such occasions. A cloud burst, as the sudden rain floods of the country are called, occurred up the val- ley, and a Zreat wave swept down, undermin- ing the sand upon which rested the marrow staircase of potened rock by which alone the top of the mesa couid be reached. When the people returned they found that where the stairs bad been the whole side of the mesa bad fallcn mw heap in the valley below leaving the summit absulutely inaccessible.
