SAILORS ARE LANDED Steps to Protest:the Consulates at ~ Ghéfoo. FEARS EXPRESSED FOR MISSIONARIES List of the Americans in the Threat- ened Country. ARRIVAL OF THE BALTIMORE LONDON, January 23.—A dispatch from Chefoo says that sailors from all the for- eign warships have been landed to protect the corsulates of the different countries they represent. Advices to the Pall Mall Gazette publish- ed this afternoon report that a panic ex- isted then among the inhabitants of Che- foo on account ef the proximity of the Japanese soldiers to that city, and the Chinese troops were said to be upon the Foint of mutiny. It is added that owing to diplomatic ob- cticns the plan was not to land any blue jackets from the foreign warships without urgent necessity for so dcing. But the signalmen ashore and afloat were to re- main on the lookout day and night so long as the weather was clear and safe. It is added that frequent gales of snow and spray obscured the signals in town. Con- tinuing, the Pall Mall Gazette's correspond- ent “All the male foreigners, num- bering about thirty, are armed and they are able to hold the Chinese in check urtil help arrives. But God help outlying mi: siers.” Relief on the Charleston. SAN FRANCISCO, January 23.—Oriental advices, brought by the steamer Peru, say that it was the belief of the Charleston's officials that there would soon be aecall for our heaviest vessels at Chefro to pro- tect Caucasian residents tyom the fury of the Chinese soldiers, who are likely, when dislodged there and at We-Hal-Wel, to take Vengeance upon any foreigners who may be there. Many American and British missionaries and merchants live there, and there will be great danger, it is thought. when the Japanese operations begin. On these accounts there was some hope aboard the Charleston of an early relief by a gun- boat. ‘TLe Queen of Corea is reported to b& less of a factor in state affairs than she was, but she is still an element of discord in the royal family.

MISSIONARIES IN DANGER. List of the Americans at Chefoo and Vicinity. NEW YORK, January 23.—In view of the remark made by the Chefoo corre- spondent of the Pall Mall Gazette at Chee- foo, who said “God help the outlying American missions,” and as it is reported from Chefoo that sailors from the for- eign warships have been landed to protect the consulates of the different countries they represent, the following list of per- sens who are among the missionaries of the American Presbyterian board of mis- sions in the Shan Tung province, in which Chefoo is situated, will be interesting: Chefoo—Rev. Hunter Corbett, D. D., and wife, Rev. George S. Hays and wife, Rev. George Cornwall and wife, Rev. F. W. Jackson, jr., Mrs. John L.

A cablegram was received at the Navy Department today from Admiral Carpenter announcing the arrival ef the Baltimore at Chefoo, but saying nothing of the landing of marines there to protect the United States consulate. The Yorktown is also at Chefoo, which Is a general rendezvous for the foreign men-of-war en the China station, and no doubt is felt here that all foreign interests in the vicinity are amply protected. It is not betieved that the Jap- anese forces will attempt to capture the place, which might be easily effected if desired, because of the insignificant de- fenses of the town. In the first place, Chefoo has no strategic importance, and in the second place, it is a treaty port, and so far the Japanese have carefully refrained from even occu- pying such forts, probably to avoid giving umbrage to foreign powers, some of whom are suspected of looking for any plausibie pretext for interfering in the present strug- gle between Japan and China. So the only danger to be 4pprehended by foreigners at Chefoo lies in the Chinese troops, who are reported to be in a mutinous spirit, but they would undoubtedly be restrained by the presence of the large naval force row in the harbor. As for the American missionaries in that part of China, it is believed that they are now all in the town itself, as Minister Denby some time ago advised them to gather at the United States consulates, and the Yorktown probably.gathered up the last of those who remained outside when the Japanese bombarded Teng Chen Fo. ——-— Saved From the Mary L. Stone. SAN FRANCISCO, January 23.—The steamer Peru, which arrived from China and Japan last evening, brought among her passengers Captain W. H. Gould of the American ship Mary L. Stone, which was lost on the eastern side of Formosa Island, on November 24. The captain was accom- panied by his wife and child and Henry S. Ward, who was formerly chief officer on the Stone. The ship went ashore on the sandy beach at night while threading her way through a stream jagged with rocks. The ssel began to fill with water, but the m and crew stayed with her until Mate Ward was baely hurt while boats were be- ing lowered and had to be carried off the vessel. $a Augusta Chronicle Suspends.

Increased Their Majority at Yester- day’s Parliamentary Election. EVESHAM, Eng., January 23.—The re- sult cZ the election which tock place yes- terday for a member of parliament to rep- resent this, the south or Evesham division of Worcestershire, in succession to the late Sir Edmund Lechmer, bart, conservative, is that Col. Long, the conservative candi- date, is declared elected. The vote was as follows: Col. Long, conservative. Mr. F. Impey, Gladstoni: Conservative majority... At the last election the following was the result of the voting: Sir Edmund Lechmere, conservative. Mr. F. Impey, Gladstonian. Conservative majority... 4,170 It will thus be seen that the conservative Taajority was increased from 530 to 1,175, a gain of 595 votes. The result is rather a surprise to the do e- erals. The Daily News this morning, fore the result was announced, conc: the victory of the conservatives, but pressed the belief that Mr. Impey would reduce the conservative majority. The conservative victory has been received with immense enthusiasm at the censervative clubs and by the tory papers. a TO CURE CONSUMPTION. Dr. Pequin of St. Louis Claims to Have Found a Remedy. ST. LOUIS, Mo., January 23.—A local paper states that at the meeting of the St. Louis Medical Society next Saturday even- ing Dr. Paul Pequin, for many years a member of the state board of health, will present a report which will attract the attention of the medical world. Experiments which have been in progress for four years have resulted in the dis- covery of an anti-consumption serum. It is repomted that his recent success has decided him to make it public at as early a date as he can possibly formulate results from a report. Dr. Pequin has utilized the principle un- derlying the natural immunity enjoyed by the horse’ against consumption and_ the principle by which anti-toxine for diph- theria is produced, and he has, it is claim- ed, obtained a serum which, when intro- duced in human beings suffering from con- sumption, arrests or checks the diséasse. The serum has been used in the treat- ment of many cases, and is administered in the form of injections. In giving: 1,000 injections no accident oc- curred except two trivial ones. In two or three weeks of the treatment the effects became apparent, especially with cases in the first and second stages. . = MAKING SPECIAL INQUIRY.

Charles Ryder and Hattie Brown, the alleged workers-of the “badger” game, who were arrested at a house or 12th street Monday night, as published in yesterday's Star, were given a hearing in the Police Court today, the charge against them being suspicion, under the vagrancy act. They plead gullty and were not represented by counsel. There was nothirg attractive Iccking about the weman except that she was well dressed, and the man’s conduct indicated that it was not his first appear- ance in court. Precinct Detective Helan was tho first witness examined. He told the court of the numerous reports received at the sta- tien concerning “panel and “badger” workers, and said he learned of the pres- ence of these people here. He described the movements of the defendants Monday night when, with Detective Rhodes, he fol- lowed them from the neighborhood of the Arlington Hotel to their room on H street. Witness told the court of how he saw the weman pick up a well-dressed man and take him to her reom. The man remained in there about fifteen minutes and then came out. Witness had a conversation with him, but was not per- mitted to relate it, because it was not had in the presence of <ie defendants. Woman Admitted, He described the scene in the room when he and Detective Rhodes entered. The man had just come out of the closet in the room and was barefooted. He said that at the station the woman admitted her guilt and said she was here with Ryder to work the xames mentioned. The woman had some money and she gave $5 to the man to pay the rent. Detective Rhodes said that he was with Detective Helan, and his testimony was the saime as that given by his brother officer. “We are satisfied to have your honor ke their pe: al bonds,” said the officer ‘and we will see that they leave the cit “But,” said the judge, “that will not sat- isty me The detective said that the man had been in prison, but he thought the woman had ‘She said she fir: phia last October I believe her stor: All the man had to say was that if per- mitted he would leave tne city on the first train and would never return. ver been ar ed before,” said “and if my ord is searched it will be found good,” The Judge's Surprise.

A Breckinridge, Mo., dispatch relates the following wonderful effects of a storm there recently: During the heavy rain and hailstorm which prevailed here Sunday night, a two- story farm house, three miles east of town, was blown about ninety feet from its foun- dation. The building, having made two complete revolutions, landed on its side int tact. The family, consisting of Mont. Mat- tux, his wife and three children, were in bed at the time of the accident, and all escaped injury except Mrs. Mattux, whgse arm was disiccated. Every article of furniture in the house was demolished, and the walls were en- tirely stripped of plastering. Had Mr. Mat- tux also been injured the family would have been cremated, as the room caught fire, but was inguished by him. = Instantly Killed. Joseph Hill, cclored, employed as a track walker on the Baltimore and Potomac railroad, was struck by a train between Deanewocd and Benning about 3 o'clock this merning and instantly killed. His body was brought here on a train. The deceased has been in the company’s em- ploy for several years, and lived in Burr- ville, MR. DANIELS RESIGNS. He Will Assume Active Charge of a Newspaper. ‘Mr. Jesephus Daniels tendered his resig- nation as chief clerk of the Department of the Interior to Secretary Smith today. As was first announced in The Star, Mr. Dan- jels has had this matter under advisement for some time. When Mr. Daniels bought a controliing influence in the Raleigh Daily News and Observer it became a question with him whether he could or could not carry out his duties as chief clerk and Superintend the management of the News and Observer from afar. Then the stock- holders in the paper became anxious that Mr. Daniels should return to Raleigh and assume direct management of the paper. A fortnight ago Mr. Daniels went south for conference with the share owners, and the result of this conference is told in the resignation which was presented today. Secretary Smith was aware that Mr. Dan- iels had the matter under advisement. ‘The resignation of Mr. Daniels deprives Secretary Smith of one of the most effi- cient of his subordinate officials. During his» ineumbengy Mr. Daniels has showa himself worthy of the confidence placed in him by the Secretary in appointing him as chief clerk, and has won the friendship of all with whom he has come in contact. He is a young man, only thirty-two years of age, but he stands in the front ranks of the ponents of democracy. Born in Wil- gon, N. C., he edited the Wilson Advance when cnly seventeen years of age, and has since that time steadily advanced as a thorough newspaper man, until now he is the editor and principal stockholder of the News and Observer of Raleigh. He came to Washington at the earnest solicitation of Secretary Smith, who appcinted him as private secretary to the first assistant sec- retary of the interior, and was in a short time made chief of the appointment 4i- vision. When Capt. J. J. S. Hassler re- signed the oilice of chief clerk Secretary Smith, appreciating the ability of Mr. Dan- jeis, appointed him as chief clerk of the Department of the Interior. At no time in the history of the country has North Car- olina been so well represented in the de- partments at Washington as during the present administration, and the friends of Mr. Daniels are all united in the belief that it has been owing to his indefatigable ef- forts that this exists. ile has never held a federal position be- fore coming to Washington, though he has been elected by the legislature of North Carolina as state prin' for successive terms in the face of stcong opposition. He is one of the most popular men in his state and at the time of the death of the late Senator Vance was prominently mentioned as his successor. His friends all say that he will continue to be heard from and that it will not be many years before he will represent his state in the national legisla tive boc Mr. Daniels will carry with him the best wishes for success from the em- ployes in the interior Department, to whom he has become endeared by his uniform courtesy, and his resignation is a matter of much regret to all wno have been associ- ated with him. The appointment of a successor to the chief clerk has not as yet been made, but it seems to be a certainty that the plum will fall to Col. Emmett Womack, u attorney inthe office of the assistant attor- ney general: Mr. Womack is a Georgian and has done eonspi as service in ve: questions of law during ils long depa mental service. The successor of Mr. Dan- iels will make no innovation in the ad:nin- istration of the office. ——__—___+ e -_-. ____ DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. About a Tax Sale. Thomas John Naylor and Henrietta Maria Brightwell in a petition to the Commis- sioners today request that the tax sale of April 11, 1893, for the tax due for year ending June 30, 1892, on thirty-two acres and improvements on the Anacostia road, plat 22, Washingten county, and purchased by John B.

In view of the facts that cemeteries are generally in- corperated, institutions, established, as business efiterprises, it may seem just and proper that the burden of taxation should be born by them as well as other business property, whereas, in this case the ceme- tery has ever since its existence been more of a charitable adjunct to our church than a source of revenue, about the only charges which have been made being those for dig- ging the graves.” The matter has been 1e- ferred to the engineer department for in- vestigation and report. Entitled to Pay. In relation to the claim of H. L. Cran- ford to compensation for extra work on the Easby’s point intercepting sewer, over which there was a disagreement between Mr. Cranford and Capt. Beach, assistant to the Engineer Commissioner, Attorney Thomas gives it as his opinion that if in order to secure a firm base for the sewer it was necessary in the judgment of the En- gineer Commissioner for Mr. Cranford to make the excavation, for which he claims .compensation, he is entitled to pay for it. —— Will Be Brought Here. Last week the grand jury found a true bill against P. Wall Keech, who was stew- ard of the Army and Navy Club, charging him with the embezzlement of about $300' of the club’s funds. The complaint was made by Capt. Snyder, and Keech was ar- rested in New York and he will be brought here tonight.

More Possible Dangers, Yo the Editor of The Evening Star: We notice in your issue of the 21st in- stant an article from the health oflice in ence to the use of laundry boxes, and that those who are considering the maiter think it unsafe. We would respectfully call the attention parties to the cramped, dirty ‘sand filthy methods of most of the laundries in operation in this efty. 9 to the cases of those colored washer women who live in shanties in disease- iricken localities and who call for the th on Monday morning and re- turn the same on Saturday night, having worn the wearing 2pparel and used the bed linen until the end of the week, Why does not the health otlice look after them instead of jumping on a laundry box as a transmitter of disease? STEAM LAUNDRY. ————.—_— Health of the City. During the week ended on Saturday the health department reports show an almost total absence of dangerous contagious dis- eases in the city, There was no death from sm2lipox, diphtheria, scarlet fever nor whooping cough, and but one fatal case of typhoid fever. The annual death rate was four below the normal and 3 below the ‘ame period in the last published report. he fact of there having been no death from smallpox indicztes that the patients now under treatment suffer from a mild form of that disease. One-third of all who died were over fifty years old, while infant mortality, was less than usual. The ma- rity of ‘the fatal cases during the wee: re of a chronic or constitutional chara ter, of which fifteen alone were from heart a . The general results of the mor- tality would seem to warrant the conclu- sion that even very cold winter weather, if dry, is conducive to good health, =. . Papers Read. Rey. Dr. John T.

The Horse committee on ways and means at its meeting today listened to a speech by Represertative Walker of Massachu- setts, in advocacy of his bill to authorize the Secretary of the Treasury to issue bonds to defray the expenses of the gov- ernment. In place of Mr. Dingley’s resclu- tion calling for information upon the Bering s:a seal fisheries, which has been referred to the committee, it adopted the one recently introduced by Mr. McMillin, calling for information on the same sub- ject, but more comprehensive in its terms. It asks for all information in the treasury concerning the seal fisheries since January 1, 1889, all contracts made by the govern- ment with suits growing out of them, an itemized account of the expenses of the Paris commission and also information upon the expenses incurred in carrying out the agreement for the government of Samoa. The hemp carpet bill was not reached. + ©-._____. A Tax Decision. The Supreme Court has sustained the law imposing taxes upon corporations do- ing business in Mississippi. The Postal ‘Telegraph and Cable Ccmpany was sued in Hinds county by Wirt Adams, revenue agent, to recover $782.56, the amount of tax assessed against the company for the years 1800 and 1S8¥1l,and recorded judgment,which was affirmed in the supreme court of the state. The Telegraph Company appealed, contending that the tax was in restraint of interstate commerce and illegal. The judgment of the state court was affirmed, the opinion being delivered by Chief Ju: tice Fuller. Justices Harlan and Brown dissented. ———___+-2+____. Engineers Break Down. An evidence of the severe werk imposed upon the insufficient number of engineer officers in our new high-powered cruisers is the breaking down of two of these olticers on the New York. About a week ago Chief Engineer Lowe was detached from the ship at Norfolk and sent to the hospital, suffer- ing from nervous prostrstion and in a state of mental collapse, brought on by overwork and worry, and yesterday the next officer in line, Passed Assistant En- gineer Franklin J. Schell, was also sent to the hospital. PS pe SG Private Firms Pay Better. ‘The navy has lost the services of one of its ordnance experts, and one who did much to bring that branch of the service up to its present high standard, in the res- ignation of Ensign Robert B. Dashiell, which has been accepted, to take effect April 30. Meanwhile he 1s detached from the New York. It is understood that he enters the employment of one of the larg- est of our ship building and gun making firms.
