DREAMS OF RETURN TO POWER. Although the ex-viceroy, Li Hung Chang, still suffers from the displeasure of th Chinese court, he is' now fn that b's efforts to re-cstablish himself in favor will s successful. By judicious use of the tre ure still at his dieposal Ay regain position, the resources of which wiil enable him to recoup his disbursements a hundred fold If he lives long enough. His prominen rival, the Vicaroy Chawg, at Kanking, has not latterly used his opportunities to vantage. Ant'-foreign uprisings In the terior, his share in which is well understood in Peking, have not turned out , and thelr fallure Is reckoned more or less agains him. Some of his receat recommendations o the Tsung-li-Yamen - have been more strongly flavored with prejudice than could be approved by even that unprogressive hody He proposed two candidates for the of envoye to Japan on the express ground that they knew no langusge but Chinese, and therefore could not comnnunicate with Buro peans. This was too much for Prince Kung and other advocates of moderate reform, whe hold that familiar'ty with foreign ‘methods and languages s essential to modern Chines diplomacy. Li Hung Chang clings to the be llef that the emperor will soon realize the value of his great experiences and that h's services will then be considered indispensable. At an Indignation” meeting of American eitizens in Shanghai, July 15, resolutions w passed calling on the Unitcd States gover ment to appoint a commissicn of Americans possessiug a knowledge of the Chinese lan guage and customs to proceed at the earliest moment to Cheng-Tu and thoroughly in- vestigate the caus and fix the responsibility of the recent riots in which valuable American property was wan stroyed and two American mission numerous children, were violently treated at the instigation of native officials The government at Washington was also ad vised that a money indemnity was insuff clent to meet the demands of the tase and that those in attendance at the meeting in- sisted upon prompt and adequate punishment of the guilty parties, without regard to rank or satlon. Furthermore they demand that provision be made for the fmmediate returr of the missionaries into their stations In the Sze-Chuan, province, and that their right to reside and prosecute their work in the in terior of China be publicly proclaimed in s parts of the empir HAVE NOT ASKED FOR MORE MONEY. The Japarese government learns that re- Jports have been circulated to the effect that & pecuniary demand has been made upon China in consequence of the recession of the Liao Tong pen‘nsula and adjoining districts and that the matter is receiving attention from the Russiau authorities. The report without foundation. The first report of the new Japanese envoy at the Chinese court was dist'nguished by a departure from conventional precedent, which excites much comment in diplomatic circles The emperor holds audiences seated on the platform, to which he ascends by a set of steps Intended for his exclus've use. When credentials have hitherto been presented they have been taken to him by side stairc the right or left of the central fiight, tster Hayashi, however, had been admonished by the goverament to (nsist upon every mark of respect. He therefore expressed a strong desire that his credentials should be con- veyed to the emperor by the rout reserved for his majesty, and after some demurr his roquest was granted, to the eurprise of his Buropean end American colloagues. The audlence took place July 7, and after appro- priate addresses were delivered 1voy's documents were recelved by Prince Kung, president of the Tsung-li-Yamen, and carried up the central steps to the throne. Mr. Hayaschl's epeech was as follows: “His majesty the emperor of Japan, rejoicing sin- cerely at the restoration of peaceful relations, has been pleased to accord me his representa tlve at your maje court. J beg permis- to express my sense of the honor I then enjoy In being granted this audience nd belng given the opportunity of presenting my credentials. It is my profound hope that hereafter the amicabei ntercourse of the two emplres may become more nti mate and that I may long be favored with your majesty’s consideration..T pray your majesty may be blessed with long life and & prosperous reign." The reply was brief @™ to this effect “The war s ended and peace re-es:ablished I am huppy to receive you. Two countges eparated only by a narrow strip of water should always be on terms of friendshrip. A storm of extraordinary severity visited gouth Japan on July 25, causing great loss o lfe and_ destroying property of lmmense value. Many calamities are reported, the most serious of which was the overthrow of a railway train bringing disabled soldiers from Hiroschima north for hospital treat ment. The force ofb the tempest was such that thirteen cars, together wiih the engine, were blown from a causeway into a deep in- Jet of the Island sea. It is stated that 130 Rassengers were killed or fatally njured, but opes are entertalned that these first state ments may prove to be exaggerated. A corps of surgons was dispatehed from Hiroschima to the_scene by the emperor's order, and 500 yon were sent by express to relieve the | medlale wants of the suffercrs Plans for an interuational exposition are now under consideration by the Japaneses cap- ftalists and there is a prospect that the hemio may be discussed [n the coming ses- slon of the Diet.

CITY OF MEXICO, Aug. 11.—(Via Laredo.) ~Great apprehension Is felt In all west coast ports regarding the continued ravages of yellow fever in Central American ports. All vessels recently arriving from Central America have been treated as suspiclous, principally those from Acajutla and Acos. The American Security company of New York has opened a branch here, according to the terms of a liberal charter recently granted it. The company will insure gov- ernment employes and give bonds for con- tractors, besides doing a private business. Due cause has been found for holding Landsberl, the alleged lover of Alma Thorn, the manner of whose death 1s in dispute. Two persons of the twenty-two injured in the rallroad accident have died. The road is new and the track not yet in good con- tion. It appears probable the Verestagua-Romero will go to the jury, as the press has demanded this without a dissenting volee Much interest is felt here regarding the truth of the alleged interview with Minister Ransom telegraphed from Washington to the St. Louls Globe-Democrat, in which Ransom 1s quoted as saying that all the new extradition treaty required to prevent em- bezzlers from the United States from being returned was the using of money among Mexican officlals. If Ransom is correctly re: ported, he will probably be regarded here as a persona non grata, the alleged utteranc being a direct attack on the highest function- arles whom, while here, Ransom ex- ed esteem. It 19 charitably belleved t the minister was misreported.

City of Havana HAVANA, Aug. 11.—Early this morning Immense crowds began to invade the Parque de la Inique, to be present at the review of the 1,600 Havana volunteers who were going into the field. The city was gaily decorated and thousands of women were on the streets and on the balconies overlooking the route of the parade. At 8 c'clock Captain Gener Martinez Campos: arrived at the park, companied by his etaff, by General Arderius, governor and his secretary, by Calvo Munez, and preceded by the volunteers, This is the first appearance of General Campos in public since the battle of Peralejo, the name by which the battle between Manzanillo and Bayamo of July 13, in which General Santo- cildes was killed, has come to be called. Marshal Campos s an enemy of pe demonstrations. Nevertheless he was received by all the colonels and officers of the vol- unteers, while fifteen bands played a grand march. The police were not able to restrain the crowds from rushing over the troops' barrlers to greet the general, cheering Spain an dshouting acclamations for the conqueror of Peralejo. The enthusiasm was indescrib- able, and General Campos was never received with a more kindly demonstration by the people. After he had reviewed the volunteers General Campos with great emotion delivered a patriotic speech. He said that the volun- teers were going to protect the plantations and property, which were threatened by a mob whose only motto is destruction, when they ought to be, as native Cubans. the first to defend this property. The volunteers left {mmed‘ately by train for Villar. Lieutenant Colonel Roden, with 800 troops and artillery, left Bayamo to protect a convoy | which was being transported by the river Cate. {In El Judio, near Coralto, he surpriced the insurgents with a_discharge of rifie shots by the vanguard ‘and with flve shots from the artillery. The insurgents lost ten Killed and twent, x wounded and were dispersed to the moun onal WAS IN BAD FAVOR. ster to Hawall Refused Pe sslon to See LiL VICTORIA, B. C., Aug. 11.—Advices from Honolulu by steamer Warrimoo are as fol lows: Major J. H. Wodehouse, formerly the British minister to this place, leaves for England today, accompanied by his family. Previous to his departure he requested per- mission to see ex-Queen Liliuckalani. The request was denied by Minister Hatch. The principal reason for not allowing Wodehouse to see the prisoner is on account of his at- titude toward this government. He is charged with having repeatedly meddled in its affairs and has treated it with contempt on different oceasions. A cabinet minister stated today that when Wodehouse's success Major Hawes, was presented to the government Wodehouse did not leave, as is the custom, and has not done so since. He did not eall on the foreign office today. Conidering his conduct, Minister Hatch feels justified in refusing to allow the request. The government has acknowledged the re- ceipt of Minister Wills' letter in regard to the claim of Burel. An investigation is be- ing made, and the government claims it has evidence at hand to prove that the man was a conspirator. 1t is rumored here that the British gover: ment has presented claims for indemnity amounting to $345,000 against the Hawaiian government, on account of several British subjects being imprisoned during the periol f martial law and released without charges having been preferred. The rumor was de- nled by a cabinet officer, but it is belleved, nevertheless, that the claims will be pre. sented at no distant date, Willlam R.

INITIAT in ) Cou GET DRINK Dry Sun No Terrors Now for ‘W Yorkers. NEW YORK, Aug. 11.—Many new and in teresting features in the fight of the salocn keepers against the police, which were prom- fsed for today, did not materialize and the day simply fell into line with the other Sun- days which have intervened since the reform police board took hold of the municipal ad- ministration. It was a pretty “dry” day, but a shade pleasanter for thé thirsty, who have learned the scheme for securing driuks from apparently closed saloons. Ty the stranger and unitiated the day was s firy as any one of the past half dozen Sundays. Few deal- ers took advantage of the privilege of keep- ing their places open, which'has lately been decreed to be legal, provided liquors are not given away or sold.. The most notable instance wan that of Steve Brodie, who had no end n carrying on a charitable enterprise in his saloon. Brodie was giving away lem- onade and toking a collection for a free ice fund, when the, police arrested him for breaking the Sabbath law, but he was promptly discharged by Maglstrate Cornell. Afterward he was arrested twice, but each time was released and resumed business, iiniclgt ITALIAN GRADERS ASSAUL Had Taken Work at a | Than the Former Workm KANSAS CITY, Aug. 11.—Three Italians were more or less serlously injured in an inciplent riot that occurred at Atmordale yes- terday afternoon. The substitution of Italian labor for that of Americans on a job of grading going on on Fifth strest, near the Kaw, was the incentive for the disturbance. The ' Mallans bad displaced ) Americans at cheaper wages, and were being upbraided by the Americans, when some one threw a stone_into the crowd. Immediately the air was filled with missiles of all descriptions. The Italians took flight, closely followed by the irate Americans Several of the foreigners were overtaken by the pursuing party and more or less badly injured Marecho Lorenzi, John Leverdine and Frank Gravino recelved the most serious injuries and one of them will die. A riot call soon brought a patrol wagon load of police to the scene, and the asssulters were scattered, not, however, before Willlam Edwards, G. W. Walker and A. H. Godde were arrested. The Italians were badly frightened, and after the attack refused to go to work. Further trouble may ensue Monday.

BIG STAMPING WORKS WIPED OUT Had Just Started Up, Giving Empl ment to About Five ndred Men—Loss Only Hualf Covered by Insurance, ye SWARK, N. J, Aug. 11.—The flercest fire the department of this city has had to contend with for many years broke out in the plant of the Central Stamping company this aftern The front of the Central Stamping company’s plant was on New Jersey and Railroad avenues, and covered ten city lots that street, F this branched ancther building, five stories high and seventy-five feet wide and running through the block to. Liberty street. From this building there was a wing of the same size, extending through the middle of the block to Fair street. Outside of the main building on th avenue were flve thre buildings, and on the northwest a two-story brick. All these were destroyed. The loss to the stamp. ing company was estimated by the treasurer as upwards of $500,000; insurance, $250,000. The other losses will aggregate $30,000. The flames were discovered about 2 o'clock in the blacksmith shop. Even then the fire had a firm hold on the building. A general alarm was sent out, and within twenty min- utes every plece of fire apparatus in the city was on the ground. A thousand people watched the progress of the flames. Despite the tons of water thrown on the fire, the flames gained, and within half an hour after the first alarm was sounded the roofs of the buildings were masses of fire. The flames shot a hundred feet into the air at times, and big burning brands were carried blocks by the winds. These brands, some of them many Inches in length, were carried onto the roofs of buildings some distance away, and the chemlcal engines were kept on the rush from one epot to ancther putting out the smaller fires. Firemen were stationed on the rooto for several blocks with water in pails and extinguishers to put out the small fires. Less than an hour after the first alarm was turned In the walls began to fall. The hou at 10 Fair street was crushed beneath the wall next to it. In this house lived Samuel Glesner and his family. The house was flat- tened by the welght of brick falling upon it, but the family lost but little, as most of their blongings had been removed from the building when the fire broke out. A house at 28 Liberty street was also caught bei th a falling wall and wrecked. Several other houses were badly damaged by falling timbers and bricks When the main wall fell it buried the tracks of the Pennsylvania railroad and all traffic on that road was blocked for a time. A number of firemen narrowly escaped from being buried beneath this wall. Fireman John Van Houghton of engine company No 2 had a narrow escape early in the course of the fire. He had gone on the roof searching for a position from which to d'rect a stream of water. The roof gave way while ha was on it. When he felt It sinking he leaped to the gutter and threw himself over o as to hang from the edge by his hands. The gutter was filled with boiling tar, and although his hands were badly burned, he managed to cling there until rescued. James ParKer was on the roof with buckets watching for sparks. In throwing water on some of them he lost his balance and fell to the ground. He was badly injured about th head, shoulders and arms, but will recove Captain Frank Meerer of the salvage corps was severely cut about the hands. Many firemen were also badly scorched and blistered by the heat. The crigin of the fire is unknown. the raw material and the finished work de- stroyed in the stamping establishment, much valuable machinery was rulned. The building belonged to James Alken & Co., who are als interested iIn the stamping company. The stamping company started on full time las week and employed 457 men.

Fire and Police nmisstoners to Agree on n Caxe for Sabmissio Some missionary work was done yesterday by a prominent business man of Omaha that promises to bear fruit in an amicable settlement of the local fire and police board muddle. It was reported last night that several conferences had been held with a view of getting the boards together on a proposition to submit the case to the supreme court and ask that body to meet in speclal session and pass upon the case as soon as possible. Under the opinion of Judge Hopewell, the present board is entitled to peaceable posses- slon of the office until otherwise ordered in a proper legal proceeding. With a view of securing this necessary fegal proceeding it Is understood that the two boards will hold a meeting and agree upon a case to be sub mitted to the supreme court. Members of both boards were not disposed to talk of the matter last night, but admitted that such proceedings were under consideration. | There was no change In the situation yes terday. The police force was on duty as usual and there was a noticeable lack of | any excltement around headquarters. Ru- mor was busy as to what today would bring forth, One report had it that Judge Berka would refuse to recogyize the present mem- bers of the police force and would not try prisoners arrested by members of the force. | That would make ong complicition. Then ¢ counter rumor had it that City Prosecutor | woemaker would refuse to file complaints | [ ainst men arrested by any officer appointed by the new board.

FREERRE NOT ANDERSON'S RST OFFENS Had Assnulted ¥ “Pall” Kept CHICAGO, Aug. s Before, but o 1is Position 11.—Superintendent Mor gan of the Cook county asylum said today that he had secured considerable new evi dence regarding the killing of Goerge Pucick Friday, and that it pointed strongly td the equal guilt of Attendant Anderson with At tendant Gough. The superintendent refused to make known what the evidence was, say- ing if it became public at this time it might have the effect of quietlng persons who are expecting to give further information. Mr. Morgan said that he proposed to leave no stone unturned to convict Anderson and Gough if sufficient evidence could be secured for that purpose. McGrew hi Ital physician, says t the first time Anderson and ough have been guilty of gross cruelty to patients. He says that he has reported them to the officials, but that political influence has prevented their discharge. It was tonight that Dr. McGrew's fallure to xamine Pucick when he was admitted to the hospital may cost him his position. It is the custom to give each patient a bath as soon as he is received, and at that time a close examination of his physical condition 1s made. Had Dr. McGrew followed out this practice the case against Anderson and Gough would be much stronger, as it could not have then been claimed by them that Pucick had received his wounds prior to entering the insane asylum. This is thought to be the de- fense they will make. '00 DRUNIK TO UNLOCK A DOOR.
