PROTEST FROM GERMANY VANCOUVER, B. C., August 11.—Advices from Wu Chow, by the Empres of Japan, state that Tung Yuan Paklan and other Places have been sacked by rebels. The aptain of the steamer Koshing, a vessel really Chinese-owned, but flying the Amer- ican flag, chartered to take Chinese soldiers up Tung Yan Some, shot the comptradore of the vessel dead during a disturbance and Mr. Woods, the vessel's local agent, was wounded while interfering. The’ vessel returned to Wu Chow, and the captain was taken under arrest to Canton. ‘The Protestant and Roman Catholic mis- sions at Shuin Ching, in Szecheun, have been destroyed in a riot. Yum Chan ts dls- turbed by brigands, who have captured a French priest for whom they demand ran- som. Several natives have been killed; much property has been destroyed. ‘Fhe situation is critical. Foreign consuls are on the alert. ‘those engaged in the rebellion are natives of the place. Japanese Postage. The officals of the Japanese department of communications are insisting upon the desirability of reducing the present rate of postage one-half, to make it correspond with the penny stamp system adopted in ‘They believe that the govern- ment receipts will naturally be reduced for the first two years, but that in the end it will be considerably increased. The gov- ernment is said to be inclined to entertain anese government is considering bility of starting the manufac- ture of cigarett The object of this commercial undertak- ing is to help defray the deficit in the budget. The government will be able to raise by this means an additional 25,000,000 yen, but the necessary arrangements can- not be completed until 1900. The leading vernacular papers state that estimates for the next fiscal year will show a deficit of forty miliion yen, exclusive of the expense entailed by the redemption of loan bonds and several new undertakings of the former cabinet. The Marquis Tokugawa Acuyoshi, feudal lord of Mito and Neppo, of Shangu, died at his residence in Tokio, in his forty-fourth year. Committed Suicide. Lieutenant Nijakata Hisaaki, eldest son of Count Nijakata, ex-minister of the household department, committed suicide by shooting himself with a revolver. He was one of the most able military officers in the Japanese army On the completion of the railway lines now awaiting government sanction railway mileage of Japan will be increased to 10,159 miles. The Japanese foreign office has received the following telegram from the Japanese consul at Townsville: “Queensland government has decided upon prohibiting from henceforth landing of Japanese at any port within its jurisdic- tion unless they are in possession of pass- ports for that place. This is owing to the fact that fifty-nine Japanese emigrants with passports for South Australia recently landed at Thursday Isiand.” Three marine disasters have been re- ported. The Nipon Yuson Kaishas steam- er Harima Maru, 70) tons, on her way frorg Aomori to Noruro via Hakodate, strand- ed upon a submerged rock in a thick fog off Keilara bay. The passengers and crew were saved. All hope of being able to save the vessel has been abandoned. The loss, including that of the cargu, will be borne by insurance companies. Marine Disasters. A Shanghai dispatch says the French cruiser Jean Bart, which had been dis- patched hurriedly from Foo Chow in con- sequence of trouble ever the Ning Po Joss- house, ran into the Hawalian ship Helen Brewer, which was iying at anchor a few cable lengths from what is known as Red Buoy. knocking in her side. She was tak- en into shoal water to prevent her going under. ‘The British barque Mosambique went ashore during the night of July 5 on Block- shcal, thirteen miles from Woo Sung. ambique is a four-masted barque 305 tons and left New York on the h of March last with 100,000 cases of ofl for the Standard Oil Company at Sharg- hai. She left Anjer on the 18th ef June and must have made a good run to arrive at the Blockhouse shoal by July 5. After being lightered no trouble was antic'pated in getting her off. Russia‘s Friendship. The steamer Empress of India, also from the orient, brings the following Chinese ad- vices: \ Pekin correspondent writes that the bugh officials of the imperial government, with only a couple of censpicueus excep- s, have had their eyes opened at last to the fatal friendship of Russia, and that the titude of the country for aid in the Liao Tung peninsula has been en- misplaced. They have also begun to perceive the disinterested help of Great Britain. The Germans are busy daily at the Tsung- Li-Yamen, pushing the interests of a Ger- man firm to oust Yung Wing frem his’ con- cestions for the Tien Tsing Chinkiang rail- way end put Germans in possession.

Marquis Ito, who has gone on a visit to China, urges the impertance of adopting the following measures for the improve- ment of China's condition: 1. The establishment of a large bank, with a capital of about 100,000,000 yen, un- der foreign supervision. 2. The opening of the military and naval colieges. 3. The amendment of scription. It is reported in Pekin that it is the in- tention soon to dismiss from military ard naval service all foreign instructors with the exception of British, American and Jap- anese officers.

Some one brought word into camp his » | morning as to the créer issued by the War Department yesterday evening concerning the mobilization uf volv s at Middle- town, Pa., Thoroughfare Gap, Va., and other places. Since first hearing the news the men of the Ist Division have discussed littie else. Even at headquarters this gen- eral movement of troops is the most ab- sorbing subject for discussion. Atcording to the advices received at corps and division heacquarters the 2d Divisi commanded by Brig. Gen.

INDIA WELCOMES CURZON. ‘The Press Regards Him as Eminently Satisfactory. BOMBAY, August 11.—The press of India welcomes the appointment of Mr. George N. Curzon as viceroy of India as being emi- nently satisfactory. LONDON, August 11.—Mr. Curzon, the new viceroy of India, will probably start for Calcutta in November. The appoint- ment excites quite unusual interest. All the morning papers publish, in addi- tion to editorials, special articles reviewing his strikingly brilliant career, wishing him success and generally expressing approvat of the appointment, though some doubts are suggested on the score of his compara- tive youth as a statesman and the fact that he is opposed to advocating a “‘for- ward policy” regarding the northwestern frontier of India. ‘The Times says: “It is a striking appointment and a great experiment. At thirty-nine Mr. Curzon ob- tains what may be truly called the most splendid position under the crown; the po- sition which, to most men, would be the crowning reward of a life's ambition, but which, to this favored child of fortune may prove to be but a step. “We sincerely trust, for the sake of both Mr. Curzon and the empire, that Lord Salisbury’s very interesting experiment will succeed. The first requisite must be Mr. Curzon’s restoration to health. For- tunately he has always enjoyed robust health in eastern lands. He has youth, wealth and cleverness, and as the society of Caleutta and Simla will soon discover, he has a charming wife. These are no com- mon endowments, which ought to assure success on the social side of his career. His friends say, that his present indispo- sition is the result of overwork, and they are confident that India wil] prove his salvation. He finds the late hours of par- Mantent, combined with his official duties at the foreign office, extremely trying.” "The Daily Chronicle says: “Mr. Curzon risks his whole career on this shining peak. Unless he makes a great success he will make a very great failur. Many American ladies have grac@ the so- ciety of the old country as the wives of prominent men, but to none of them has it been given to play such a part in the Brit- ish empire as Mrs. Curzon will enjoy.” ‘The Standard says: “Mr. Curzon is suffering from a recrudes- cence of his spinal malady. He had to lie on a couch in his private room in the house of commons Tuesday night. Much sympa- thy was expressed in the lobby at hi break-down at such a point in his career. eee THE MARQUETTE STAMP, Reasons of the Department for Se- lecting the Mixsionary Explorer. The question as to the right of Father Marquette to a figure as a leading actor in the history of this country has arisen again in connection with the fact that a picture of Marquette sailing down the Mis- sissippi is borne on the one-cent Omaha exposition stamps. A correspondent of the Post Office De- partment recently wrote that he had made search to ascertain what claims Marquette has to the distinction thus given him, with the resalt that history showed him to hav been a foreigner and a Jesuit, but not arked as a man of note, either in litera- ture or science. Information was asked as te what his great merit was. Mr. John P. Merritt, third assistant post- master general, nas written a letter show- ing why the design was adopted. He says that the object of the promoters d managers of the transmississippi ex- jon is to give expression to a com- zendable pride on the part of the inhabi tants in the progress of their section and to demonstrate its growth, and anything pertaining to the men who were most con- spicuous and helpful in blazing the way +o these sections and laying the foundations of civilization js fraught with great inter- est. It may he claimed, he says, that Mar- quette did not discover the Mississippi, but, like Americus Vespucci. he contin the explorations, and America is named after the tter. “As to the religi belief of Marquette says Mr. Merritt, jit never entered into or ir fluenced the selection of the device, cne way or the other. “As to the fact of Marquette being a for- eigner.” continues the reply, “he perform- ed services enough 2s a pioneer to earn his citizenship, and bis bones still lie buried on the west shore of Lake Michigan.

The latter were browglt® by a hospital train over the Southern road, ‘consisting of a Pullman and thirteen tourist cars, under charge of Maj.

The new ar- rivals are quartered in the houses formerly occupied by the artillery stattoned at the barracks. ‘and many wounded are among them. A Star reporter visited the new- comers this morning, and the first mau he met, who happened to be on the same elec- tric car with him, was iimping along on crutches.

But for the 3d ‘Virginia the rain has brought little relief. Colonel Naile has for the last two or three days ted a guard of about 250 men, so that regimental guard mount assumes the pro- portions of battalion dress parade. Concerning the disturbance of which so much has been said recently, neither the officers at division headquarters or those in the 3d Virginia are inclined to s thing further.
