ESTABLISHED JU CHURCHILL NOT A WRECK Well Krown English Ctatcsman Denies Several Slanderous Reports, GW ON A PCLITICAL MISSION TO INDIA Will Re-Enter Poll les on a Considerable Seale s Soon ns He Returns from His Pres Work Abroad. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 19.—The Bxaminer publishes an Interview with Lord Randolph Churchill, fn which he denles the story that he was a victim of morphine and says that report was maliciously circulated through pite, I have suffered acutely,” he explained, “from nervous prestration and insomnia, brought on by the extreme tension of public affairs and constant attention to party In- terests long after I should abjured public speaking. 1 feel much better now than when I left En My appetite is excellent and I sleep well, &0 that I have no doubt that when my tour is completed 1 shall be able to return home and re-enter politics, entirely restored. The Bar Harbor incident was entirely fictitious and the pur- ported interview with W. Gilbert, formerly of the Gloucestershire cricket eleven, pub- lished in a Chicago journal, was a fabri tion from beginning o end. I may say on and for all that my illness has resulted from overwork. Acting against the advice of my physicisns, 1 continued to make public specches until I broke down. The trip to South Africa was mede in the hope of re- cuperation, but th: tigue of the journey was bardly beneficial. America has done me to have very a deal of gocd. I like the country and people end I have gained every day in strength and mental equipoise during the past two months.” Lord Churchill's visit to India s of a semi-official character. He has letters from her majesty, the queen, as well ss from the prince of Wales, and his principal mis- sion s to look loyal rajahs. POINTS HE WILL VISIT. “Notably, I shall visit,” said Lord Church- ill, “the maharajahs of Avar Jaighur, Udai- pur and Jodhpur in Rajpootana, in whose cap- itals are many celebrat:d Jain temples of great antiquity. This Is not my first trip to India. I visited the empire some years ago and was piloted about by Sir Lepel Grifin. But I did not see half of what I de- sired, and this time I shall proceed as far as British Burmah These loyal rajahs, whom Lord Churchill intends visiting, are young men of the high- est Importance In the Indian empire. They have all been educated at Mayo college, which is near Ajmir. This is an experiment of the government intended to give the young rajahs of Rajpootana an English training. It was founded by the carl of Mayo and has had a most powerful effect upon the political aspect of India. In speaking of Lord Rose- bery, he said: “It seems to me that his present position might remind one of the well known jest in Punch years ago about Lord Beaconsfield: ‘Why Is the present government likely to fall?’ ‘Because its head is dizzy.’ ““There is no doubt that Roscbery made his mark when acting as Gladstone's lleutenant in the famous Midlothian campaign. Then it was that he realized he had some backing in the person of Mr. Gladstone and without doubt aspired to the premiership. Mr. Glad- stone's support has been the key to Rose- bery's success.'” In parting, Lord Churchill said: “I trust that you realize that I am not the mental and physical wreck which the American newspapers have described. Had 1 been I would not have attended the royal academy dinner a few days before leaving England. I am on the road to complete recovery, and, as I said before, I must before many months are over re-enter the English = political arena.” into matters regarding the STORM ON THE VOLGA. Steamer Usplke Sent to the Bottom and Five Porsons Perish. ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 19.—A dispatch from Rybinsta, an important commereal center situated on the bank of the Volga, says a storm passed over that city and the neighborhood on Friday last. The damage to property was immense. The steamer Uspike was caught by the storm on the Sherne river. There were 100 passengers on the vessel and they were thrown into a_panic by the tremendous force of the wind, the furlous downpour of rain and almost impene- trable darkness. The captain headed the vessel for the beach, his intent being to run her ashore. Before this could be done, how- ever, the vessel sprung a leak and began to founder. As she foundered, her decks were blown up by the air in her hold. Everybody was thrown in the water. De- spite the fury of the storm passing vessels managed to rescue all on board, except five of the crew. BANDIT A AND WIFB KILLED, Shot by Mexican Soldiers Whiie Resisting Arrest in the Mountains.

RECEPTION TO EMMA GOLDM.1 Three Thousand ow York Anarchists Greet t mnle Advocate of the Red Flag, NEW YORK, Aug. 19.—A reception was glven Emma Goldman tonight at the Thalia theater, which nearly 3,000 persous attended. The affair was generally tame, and the spe- cial force of detectives had nothing to do. Charles Wilfred Mowbray, the English an- archist, was also present and preceded Emma Goldman by a speech in which he eulogized her herolsm and self-sacrifice. Speaking of the police, he remarked: “The police exlst for boodle. They are here to protect thieves of associated society. When Emma Goldman came on form there was a great burst of applause, Her speech was chiefly devoted to a ran- corous attack upon all who were concerned in her prosecution, conviction and imprison- ment. “Imagine the prosecution of a woman for talking,” she began. ‘‘Anarchy was prose- cuted October 5, 1893, in the court of general sessions. It was really the right of free specch that was pros:cuted. The country Is today seeking aid of the old continent to help them get rid of anarchy. Who do they get to help them? Those hateful Irish and the deceitful English.” She then launched forth into Invectives. She called Assistant District Attorney Me- Intyre a coward. Speaking of the judge before whom she was tried, she said: ‘“Judge Martine is not to be compared to Santo, Ravachol or Henri, who were all defenders of a cause they be- lieved in. “I am with you again and again under the old flag of amarchy and freedom,” she con- ciuded. The speech was received with enthusiastic plaudits by the minority portion of the au- dience and the meeting soon afterwards was brought to a close. Marle Louise, a French woman and ardent advocate of anarchy, pre- sided at the meeting. - ERICA the plat- TRIP OF THE t at the End of a Ly Journey.

From Mobile bay to Pensacola there was an outside run of fifty miles. With the exception of the trip around the Florida peninsula the boat kept inside all the time, 79 FOREIGN LANDS.

About forty of these have made pre- liminary arrangements to go to the cape of Good Hope and South Africa and others are talking of golng to Brazil.

WASHING! Aug. 19.—The final action of the president on the tariff bill is the only thing that stands between the senate and final adjournment. It is the general opinion that if it were passed upon by the chief executive adjournment could be arranged within a few days. The last of the appropria- tion bills received the final consideration of the senate during the past week and even without the passage of the Murphy resolu- tion there would not have been much prob- ability of any general legislation, owing to the likelihood of there being no quorum The last roll call yesterday discovered only forty-five senators, two more than a quorum, in the chamber and the highest number of the day was fifty-four. Several have left since, an it is entirely probable that the ses- sion Monday will open without the number requisite to do business Jection, It is probable, therefore, that the daily sessions from this time forward will be brief and that only bills to which there no opposition from any senator or over which there is no contest vill be taken up. The democratic managers hope to have the bill repealing the provisions in the tariff bill exempting alcohol used in the arts and in the manufacture of medicinal preparations included in the list. There appears likelihood of opposition on the republican side, and If there should be, this bill will necesearily go over until the next session. The democratic members of the finance committee also hope to report the supplemental tariff bills during the week, but do not expect action on them, Probably no considerable time will be spent in_exccutive session in confirming nomina- tions o which no one objects. The house of representatives ls ready adjourn tomorrow. Its work has been com- pieted, it is only awaiting the action of the senate and of the president. It is prob- able that it will adjourn from day to day until congress adjourns. It may be, however, that time will be partly occupied by giving several days to the committees of the house to consider such business as they care to bring before the house, but this question has not been decided. Speaker Crisp, who is at 01d Point Comfort, will not return until to- morrow morning, and Mr. Outhwaite, one of the other members of the committee on rules, is out of the ci'y and no program will be arranged until they return. Tomorrow, under the rules, is suspension day, as are also the last six days of the ses- sion, but as a resolution for adjournment will not be passed until the president acts on the tariff bill, the rules with reference to suspension days will not go into effect until the date of adjournment has been fixed by both houses. in the face of ob- to RIVER AND HARBOR BILL A LAW, Cleveland Refuses to Veto or Approve the Measure. WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.—The river and harbor bill, carrying $11,000.000, became a law at midnight last night without President Cleveland’s signature, the legal limit of ten days having expired within which he could sign or veto it. It is the third time in his two terms that a river and harbor bill has become a law without his approval, the only other bill of this kind submitted to him having been vetoed. Fears were expressed up to a late hour today that the present bill would b: vetoed, as Mr. Cleviand made it known to the river and harbor managers several months ago that he did not want the total of the bill to exceed $10,080,000. The appropriations were pared down' in the house, but the senate raised the amount. The conferees finally reduced it to $11,478,130, and thus it was agreed to in both houses. Aside from the amount carried by the bill the sundry civil appropriations bill also car- ries $8,400,000 for river and harbor con- tracts, making a total for this work of $19.- 878,130. An important feature of the new bill'is that it authorizes no new contracts. SAD END OF A VETERAN, Captain Nicholson of Indianapolis Commits Sulcide at W WASHINGTON, Aug. ptain E. N. Nicholson of Indianapolis, superintendent of the Treasury department stables, committed suicide here this afternoon by shooting him- self. He was a veteran of the late war, dur- ing which he served under ex-President Har- rison. After Mr. Harrison was inaugurated he appointed Nicholson, who had heen kis nelghbor for thirty years, to the place he oc- cupied at the time of his death.

About twenty head of fine horses have been stolen from the 4J and Valentine S. Hcy ranches during the past month. A few days ago John Bliir and Paul Walker, who were in search of cattle on Bitter creek, were held up by two horse thieves near La Clede springs. The men were driving about twenty-five head of horses south toward the Utah line. All efforts to pture the thieves have thus far been un- avail ng, and a number of ranchmen propcse to organize a posse and mike a raid on them. Feeders in Demand, in Wyoming, EVANSTON, Wyo.,. Aug. 19.—(Special to The Bee)—Orlando North, manager of the Clover Valley Land and Cattle company, one of the lirgest companies operating in Wy ming, has -returned from sIdaho, where he purchased 1,000 head of cattle for feeding. In response to an inquiry, Mr. North stated that while prices are now very low, he is of the opinion that the coming season would show a marked improvement over last year. There is a number of reasons why the present low prices cannot stand, one of them being the almost total faflure of the crops is several of the eastern and middle states. The czttle in those sections must of neces sity be thrown on the market this fall. This will create a lively demand for western cattla early next season. 4 —— FROM DRAWING ROOM TO THE SLU Wichita’s Latest Summer Story In the Sen- sational KANSAS CITY, Aug. 19. Times from Wichita says: Mrs. alias ““Blue Jay,” and two negroes were ar- rested at 2 o'clock this morning for the mur- der of Willlam Starck, a Santa Fe watchman, Simmons, last week. The coroner says he has positive evidence against them. “Blue Jay" has been the queen of Slum- dom in this city since her fortune was wrecked in the boom. She was once a noted belle of Lexingicn, Ky., and received an edu- cation in a well known female seminary of that state that embraced all the accomplish- ments of an aristocratic southern woman. She took a fancy to a young man who was born on her father's plantation and eloped with him to Kansas. When her father died a handsome fortune fell to her. This was s0on dissolved In the whirl of the Wichita boom. She took to drinking and ever since has been the queen of the slums of Wichita. Just before his death, Starck said she struck the fatal blow. ——— ORDERED THE RATES CANCELLED. Five-Dollar Excursion te from St. Loul to Chicago Must Be Withdrawn, CHICAGO, Aug. 19.—For some time past the Alton, Vandalia and Wabash roads have been making arrangements to run a $5 excur- sion from St. Louis to Chicago on August 25. Chairman Caldwell of the Western Passenger assoclation, however, finds that the Tule of the association agreement permitting inter- state roads to make rates for such excur- sions cannot be made to apply to business b tween important terminals in the association territory and has called upon the three roads to cancel the present arrangements for the excursions, The chairman of the Western Freight asso- clation is highly elated over the action taken yesterday in Buffalo and he believes this will be the end of th> rate troubles for the time being and the western roads will not be called upon to make any reductions in their rates on grain and grain products. il !

LONDON, Aug. 19.-A speclal dispateh to the Times from Shanghal says it is reported that instend | of a large Chinese army only a emal force was routed at Yashan by the Japan ese. The remainder of the army has, it 1s said, | gone north to Join the northern forces. » Skir mishos are reported to have taken place at Ping-Yang, province of Shan-Ye, and a great. battle is expected to be fought there shortly. LONDON, Aug. 20.—A dispateh from Shanghai says the Chinese there are suffering | from a spy mania that has developed among Chinese officials. Al vessels arriving in Twoo Sung river are boarded by Chinese naval officers and searched for spys and cons traband munitions of war. Two prominent Japanese have been arrested within the French concession an unfounded charge of spying. They are still detained for trial. The dispatch further states that a number of Englishmen and Scotchmen have been obliged to leave the arsenal at Wei-Hal-Wel owing to the war. They had been fired at by the Chinese guards and some of them would un- doubtedly have been killed had it not becn for the protection afforded them by Chinese offi= cers, It is added that on three successive nights on Japanese torpedo boats forced the boom guarding the water entrance to Wei-Hai-Wel. They either evaded or countermined the tor- pedocs that had been laid by the Chinese and effected entrance to the ports, the se of which had heretofore been sup- posad impregnable. The Japanese did not cngage the forts, as it is said they were only in scarch of irsormation as to the lines to bo followed in the event of it being decided to make an attack in force upon the place, Sickness prevails in both the Chinese and | Japanese armies. China has acc:pted the | offer of Lui Yung Fi, the celebrated ex-chief I i of the Black Flags at Tonquin, who Is now a naval commodore at Canton, to reorganize the Black Flugs to fight against Japan. Mail advices from China show the Chinese government has prohibited the exportation of horses. Horses are regarded as contraband of war by Japan. Urgent orders have been | sent from tho northern to the southern are | senals for powder and other munitions. Re= cruiting for the army is progressing actively. The Japanese have fortified the passes lea | ing from China into Corea and have estabe | lished elaborat: defense at Scoul. One hun- dred and sixty thousand men have been | mobilized by Japan and the reserves have been called upon for service in Corea. WINE ST FORMED, TRU California pwers Will Raiss the Price and ¢ ontrol the Product. NEW YORK, Aug. 19.—The World tomor- row will say: Several far-seeing Californians have lately taken steps to form a wine syn- dicate to control and regulate the price of products of the vineyards. There are nearly 2,000 acres of vines in California. The value of the property and the cellars are éstimated at nearly $50,000. For six or seven years past the vine have produced yearly about 2,000,000 gallons of wine in excess of the demand and prices dropped till it was not profitable to pick grapes. The firms in the syndicate are: Arped, Harassethy & O | C. Carpy & Co.; Kohler on Benson; Kol ler & Irohling; the Napa Valley Wine com- pany; 8. Lachmann & Co., and B. Dreyfus & Co. A World reporter asked Mr. Bugene J. Canters, castern agent of Harassethy & Co., at the St. Cloud lotel today how the wine consuming east will b cffected by the for= mation of a combination. is nothing but a business syndicate. the smallest grape grower will be able to replied Mr. Canters as live, “But how about the prices here?'” “The only people who will suffer in the east are the dealors he who formerly bought wine for 35 cents a galion and sold it for $1. Prices in California_will be in- creased very graduall New Yorkers will not suffer; table d'hote dinners will be just as good and the claret will certainly taste better with the riflection that under the new order of things the California growers are not starving."

He struck again and again at the children, but they had been awakened by a scream from their mother and he inflicted no serious injury, although all of the four were more or less cut. Mrs. Hewitt threw herself between her insane lusband and the children, and in endeavoring to catch his arms received a bud stab, the point of the knife entering the flesh near the elbow.
