Plans of Europeans for Slicing China Into Sections. NEW YORK, N. Y., Aug. 7.—A Wash- ington special says: There is some discus- sion here of a European combination which would end in the division of the Chinese empire among the various powers. Russia would control Manchuria, Mongolia, Kashgaria and the country to the north of the Hoang-Ho; Great Britain the middle provinces as far south as Canton; France the territory to_the north and east of the Tonquin frontier. Germany would de- mand some consideration, but could be appeased in other directions, possibly by extensive concessions of England in Africa. The other European powers would not be material factors in the deal. Japan would be powerless to resist. : Such a disposition of China would, it is assure stable administration, progressive internal development, and finally a settlement of the Chinese ques- e Of Interest to the Coast.

LONDON, Exc., Aug. 7.—To-morrow the.! Standard will print a dispatch from Shang- hai that J. R. Nixon, United States Consul | at Foo Chow, has, in the course of his in- quiry into the recent outrages, obtained a list of names of more than fifty natives who are known to have been actually en- gaged in the outrage at Wha Sang. This list includes the names of the leading and some of the actual murderers. Nixon has collected abundant evidence to prove conclusively that the district offi- cials were fully cognizant of the fact that mischief was brewing before the commis- sion of the crimes. The dispatch further says that reports arrive daily from almost every province in the empire'of horrible persecutions to which native Christians are subjected by the officials and of the molestation and insults to foreigners resid- ing in the interior. The Telegraph will say that the settle- ment of the French claim for the sacking of Cheng Tu and other outrages in the month of May is proceeding rapidly. Bishop Dunaud has elicited much damaging evidence, convicting the ex- Viceroy, Lu Ping Chang, of having insti- gated and fomenting the uprising.

C., Aug. 7.—Post- | master-General Wilson, in an attempt to | -show that there has been a great revival of | business in this country since the passage | of the Wilson tariff bill, has caunsed a stae- | ment to be prepared showing an incredse | in postoffice receipts at thirty cities as | <compared with the receipts for the same period last year. The following gives the increases for the quarter just ended over | the quarter ending June 30, 1894: 116,004, Philadelphia $54,834, | Boston $46,561, Baltimore $11,908, 8t.

The percentage of gain for thirty cities is 7.6 per cent. It is a surprising fzct that out of thirty of the principal cities of the coun- try San Francisco and Washington are the only ones that show a decrease in the re- ceipts. All the rest show increases of sev- eral thousand. Postmaster-General Wil- son, in commenting upon these figures, said to the CALL correspondent: *‘Of course the great decrease in the re- ceipts at the Washington office is easily accounted for. Congress was in session for the corresponding quarter of last year, and of course that makes a difference. It always does, and the decrease this year is not greater than in former altesnate years. The most, and, in fact, only surprising re- port comes from San Francisco, and I am not able to understand why there should have been a decrease there when there have been increases ranging from $10,000 to $20,000 in cities of that class, such as Baltimore, Pittsburg, Cleveland, Buffalo and Detroit. The department may send :}r} inspector to see what 48 wrong out ere.”’ e Admiral Ammen 1. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 7.—Rear- Admiral Daniel Ammen, the well-known retired naval officer who invented the new ram Katahdin, had an attack of vertigo to- day at the Navy Department, where he had gone on business. The attack was se- vere, but Admiral Ammen recovered suffi- ciently to be removed to his country home at Ammendale, Md. He is75 years old, but still vigorous, aithough he retired from active service seventeen years ago. . ———— California Products Abroad. WASHINGRON, D.

Here it was shown to THE CarLy correspondent, who accompanied the messenger. It was as follows: WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 7. Teter, Agent, Pocatello. Idaho : Your telegram of Angust 3 was received. It was exceedingly gratifying to me and all friends of the Indians everywhere that they have returned peaceably 10 their reservations and gone to work, having committed no acts of vioience against the per- sons or property of the whites, which will cer- tainly be to their lasting credit. Tell them so, and that this office will doall in its power to have a faithful investigation of the killing of | the Indians and see that justice is done; am looking for a full report from you giving de- tails of the whole affair. D. L. BROwNING, Commissioner. Agent Teter has prepared a second report to the Commissioner giving in detail a description of the killing of the In- dians in the original Jacksons Hole trou- ble, as narrated by the Indians. From the Indian standpoint the killing was cold- blood murder. This second report was mailed to-day. NOW GOING BACK HOME Mrs. Gardner Willing to Return to Her Mother and Baby. WIll Also Meet Her Husband Before Retiring to Some Sani- tarium. NORWICH, Coxx., Aug. 7.—Mrs. Anna M. Gardner, the missing Christian En- deavor delegate, who was located in Nor- wich yesterday, left for Chicago this after- | noon in company with J. W. Landers of Arcadia, Nebr., who has been prosecuting the search for her for a month. Mrs. Gardner said yesterday that she would not return home, but to-day City Missionary Swan visited her and having gained her confidence led her to express her desire to see her baby and finally got her to consent to go to the home of her mother, Mrs. Barr of Sitka, Mich. Mrs. Gardner will meet her husband at the Palmer House, Chicago, at 9 to-mor- row night. Her condition to-day is greatly changed since yesterday. The arrival of Landers and the discovery of her past his- tory, which she thought she had buried, have completely unnerved her. She com- plained about her head to-day and said she had not kept it straight. There is no doubt that she is suffering from a disor- dered mind, although the friends she has made during her stay here had not dis- covered any signs of unsoundness. Mr. Landers said before leaving Norwich that Mrs. Gardner would undoubtedly be placed in a sanitarium, as she was suffering from a mild form of insanity as the resalt of the drudgery of a farm life, her husband being a poor farmer. She is naturally bright and was well educated and fitted for a teacher. Bhe is but 28 years of age and has been married nine years. | (Davis), second; Rosco, | by Young Jim (8im), won; either of the other days, but were not up to expectations in the respect of fast time. 2:20 trot, purse $1500-€atherine, b. m., by Candidate’ (Case), won; Margaret C, b. m.

Decision in Favor of the Defender by the Regatta Committee. NEWPORT, R. I., Aug. 7.—The great interest of the day was in the doings of the regatta committee, which was in secret session all day. Itslast session was com- pleted just before 6 o'clock this evening, but it was 9 o’clock when Commodore Kane announced that the members had come to & decision, but as a matter of cour- tesy they considered it a privileged com- munication and did not feel at liberty to give it out to the public. They forwarded their answer to both the syndicate and Mr, Willard. This answer is understood to cover the several com- plaints, as well as the formal protest on thetrace of July 22. Through the kindness of Mr. Iselin The United Press was allowed to take a_copy of the letters sent him by the committee, which are as follows: FLAGSHIP 8YLVIA, NEWPORT HAREOR, Aug. 7. E. A.

C., Aug. 7.—The President has appointed Burton Bennett of Wuhin’gwn State Uniied States District Attorney for the District of Alaska. clamorous that measures equally as ener- getic as those iaken by the French shall | be adopted. The message sent by Dr. O’Connor, British Minister to China, to Consul Mansfield, fails to give satisfaction, and the appointment of a Chinese guard to protect the English Consul at Ku Cheng during his investigation is looked upon with derision. The Government has British naval commander in Chinese waters to enforce, if necessary, Great Britain’s demand looking to the protection of British subjects throughout China and the prompt punishment of all who were implicated in the recent massacres. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 7.—The vacation of the Chinese Minister, Yang Yu, which he was spending at Niagara Falls and along the St. Louis River, has been brought to a sudden close by the re- ported massacres of missionaries and the destruction of American and English mis- sionary properiy in China. The Minister felt that in view of these troubles and the complications which may arice between the two countries as a result thereof he would better return to Washington, and he did so this morning. Heexpressed his deep regrets at the reports, and hopes that later and fuller information will mod- ify the severity to some extent. Heis satisfied that the Peking Government will do everything in its power not only to prevent further outrages, but to punish the guilty perpetrators of those which have already occurred. It 1s believed at the legation that the secret societies of Southern China are the moving spirits in the recent massacres. There is some diffi- culty in dealing with them from Peking owing to their remoteness from the capi- tal. It is said in justification of the Chi- nese people, however, that mob uprisihgs are likely to occur in any country, and that China is not alone in having her share of these difficulties. 2. HONGKONG, Cuina, Aug. 6.—The Brit- ish and American missions at Fat-Shan, near Canton, were attacked yesterday evening (Wednesday afternoon) by a large and infuriated mob. The hospitals are de- molished. Some of the missionaries fled to Shameel, while others remained. A Chinese gunboat has been dispatched to quell the riot. It is reported that all the missions at Kwang-Tung will soon be destroyed, and the missionaries driven to the treaty ports. The vegetarians are 12,000 strong and well armed and organized, and able to withstand the Chinese troops. instructed the GLADSTONE AND ARMENIA. Utterances of the Grand Old Man Are Approved. LONDON, ExG., Aug. 7.—The Morning Post to-day, referring to the Armenian question, says it fears that Gladstone’s speech at Chester will prove dangerously mischievous. His extravagant criticism and wild words, says the Post, may kindle a civil war in the Sultan’s domains, This may spread into a European con- flagration, and England, with her millions of Mohammedan subjects in India, may be threatened with a renewal of the hor- rors of the Sepoy mntiny of 1857. The Standard'says: “Broadly speaking, Gladstone gave expression to the general convictions of his countrymen. But it is not premature to sound a note of warning against well-meant exaggerations. Fanat- ical distortions of a healthy impulse, un- less sympathy be directed by prudence, | may do mere harm than good.” The Times commends Mr. Gladstone’s prudence and moderation in dealing with the political part of the Armenian ques- tion, and says: “He carefully abstained from saying anything that might hamper the Government, nor did he advocate autonomy, which would not be an effective guaranty for the security of the: Arme- nians, and would not be approved by Rus- sia. All the papers comment on Gladstone’s astounding vigor and the brilliancy of his oration.

They Select a Silver Champion for Gov- ernor, JACKSON, Miss., Aug. 7.—The Demo- cratic State convention was called to order at noon to-day by J. B. Booth, chairman of the Democratic State Executive Com- mittee, who made afree silver speech, urg- ing harmony in the ranks and naming Hon. J. C. Longstreet, nephew of the late Senator, as temporary chairman., The nomination was made unanimous. After much squabbling as to the committee on credentials the convention took a recess. It reassembled at 3 o’clock, when C.C. Miller of Lauderdale and Senator George of Carroll were placed in nomination for permanent chairman, resulting, Miller 131, George 153, Senator George in taking his seat made a vigorous free silver speech. After the conclusion of Sgnator George’s speech on taking the chair as permanent chairman a resolution was passed that no nominating speeches be made and Senator McLaurin of Rankin was chosen Governor by accla- mation. He was called for loudly and re- sponded in a short speech, thanking the convention for the distinguished honor, no man ever being nominated for Governor of Mississippi by acclamation before. Mr. McLaurin, who is a native of Ran- kin County, Miss., is 44 years old. He championed the cause of free silver, and the first day he took his seat voted against Hornblower for the Supreme Court. In the Senate he made thousands of friends, and when be announced his ambition to be Governor he swept aside all opposition. Other nominations followed in rapid order, all nominated on the first ballot, as follows: Lieutenant-Goveruor, Colonel J. H. Jones of Wilkinson; Secretary of State, J. T.

PROPPING THE RESERVE, Treasury Officials Confident the Syndicate Will Keep Its Contract. Over Two Milllon Dollars In Gold Drawn Out This Week for Exportation. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 7.—The demand upon the treasury to-day for $1,000,000 in gold for shipment to Europe to-morrow was not unexpected, and treas- ury officials will not be surprised if this demand is duplicated before the end of the week. The situatioh causes them no alarm, however, if the facts are accurately gauged by the public expressions of those in high places in the -department. It has been stated in some quarters that the bond syndicate has abandoned its effort to re- tain gold in this country by maintaining a high rate of exchange. Treasury officials point out the erroneous conclusions thus reached by showing that a high rate of exchange is the big inducement for the exportation of gold. The position of the syndicate, it is said, has been quite the reverse, and instead of keeping the rate up it has sought to reduce it, because the lower the rate the less profit there is in handling builion or coin, and the less in- ducement will there be to ship it. To reduce the rate of exchange seems to have been the aim of the syndicate, but it has not been able to bring” about the desired result. . The official figures of the treasury show toatat the close of business to-day the gold Tve stood at $104,468.104, but this does not show the withdrawal of the one mil- lion to-day. The treasury officiaisja ssume that this withdrawal is due to the liquida- tion of foreign obligations, and believe it will have no effect upon the treasury or upon Wall street for the reason that the street understands the nature of the trans- action. What the syndicate proposes to do is a matier upon which there is no ad- vice, and there is no reason why the treasury should be taken into the confi- dence of the syndicate beyond knowing its contract will” be lived up to. Thu&ro- vides that the gold reserve shall be kept unimpaired up to October 1. ROYAL Baking Powder. Highest of all in leavening & .. Strengtf.—v.s. Government Repott. CAL., Aug. 7.—Governor Budd arrived yesterday from Modesto on his way to Klamath Hot Springs, whither he intended to go to-morrow to see if he could not regain his health. The Governor iy a very sick man and must have abso- | lute rest or his condition will become serious. Dr. Sargent, under whose care Governor Budd now is, says the Chief Executive is so sick that he will have to abandon his idea of going to the Springs, for he is not able in his present condition to make the trip. He is also too ill ta attend to the affairs of his office or to see the office-hunters who seek him wherever he goes. At noon to-day Mr. Budd was sleeping soundly, securing the first real rest he hasg had for many days. The trouble is with the base of the brain, where the patient has an intense pain continuously, brough on by excessive mental strain and physical exhaustion from overwork, The malady was intensified during the recent visit of the Governor up the valley, as the heat at Merced was so great, being 113 degrees, that he was prostrated. Omn his arrival here yesterday he went directly to the Budd house, on Sutter street, and has since been under the care of Dr. Sargent and of his wife and mother, who are nursing him. Miss Josie Todman, the Governor’s execs utive secretary, is with the party. She said this morning that Mr. Budd was very sick and had intended to stay at Klamath Hot Springs for a month if his duties would permit him. At that time Miss Tooman expected that the Governor would leave for the springs to-morrow, but later on Dr. Sargent informed THE CALL correspondent that this would be out of the question, as he was not fit to travel. The Governor’s disorder .is meningitis. ‘While hisailmsnt 18 very serious and often dangerous it is not very aggravated in his case, and absolute rest and freedom from care will pull him through his illness, Dr, Sargent says that the disease affecting the Governor was a dangerous malady, espe- cially in the case of a patient who was as full-blooded as is the Chief Executive. The disease was an inflammation of the lining membrane of the brain, and conse~ quently those affected suffered great pain. Dr. Sargent said further that the fact that Mr. Budd had been a sufferer from rheum- atism would be an obstacle in the way of a speedy cure in his case, as the poison in the blood that caused rheumatism had something to do with bringing on menin« gitis. C “Governor Budd has a very active brain, and this will be another factor against his speedy recovery,” said the physician. *He must have perfect rest. He did not realize what his condition was, and merely stopped over to see me to get a prescrip- tion, thinking he would be better after tak- ing it and then be able to go on to Klam- ath Hot Springs. I soon saw what was the matter with him, and have forbidden the trip. Every one has been excluded from his room except his immediate relae tives, and he will not be able to resume any State duties for some time to come. His condition is very serious, but not such as to cause any great alarm. Plenty of resy from mental labor and worry will bring him through all right.” The Governor was resting quietly this afternoon, and does not seem to relish the confinement that must necessarily upset many of his plans.
