The rebels are said to number 100,000, in- cluding 30,000 Buddhists who have been stirred to revolt by famine. Should the Mussulman population in Shensi also take up arms, the affair may severely tax the resources of the central Government. The Emperor of Japan has rewarded the principal personages responsible for ‘the conduct of the recent war. Count Ito, ter of State; Field Marshal Count ta, who com ied the first army up the fall of iwang; Admiral Count Saigo, M ate for the Navy, and Field Marshal Count Oyama, who commanded the second army at Port Arthur and Wei-hai-wei, have all been Taised to be Marquise d Marshal Viscount Noazu, who nded the first army from the fall of to the battle of Tienchwangtai, irai Viscount Kabayama, com- -in-chief of the nayy, have been made Counts; and Lieutenant-General Kawakami, vice-chief of the staff, and Vice- Admiral Ito, who commanded the naval I squadrons throughout, have been raised to | the peerage with the title of Viscount.

Only eight men, ing one of the passengers, succeeded n swimming ashore The story of anti-missionary outragesin Szechuan is not a totally black page; there a ome spots of light in the record. Miss Hol of the China Inland Mission describes how, when the house in which she and | two other ladies resided was attacked by the mob, a man with a drawn sword ap- peared at the door, and while engaged sharpening his weapon on a stone warned the rioters that the womer e good folk and that he meant to defend them. The crowd fell baek, and one of the ladies, at- tended by a Chinese maid, made her escape to the yamen, only to be refused admittance. But the Chinese attendant raised a loud outery, wailing that unless the officials gave them refuge they would die at the gates, and at length they gained entry. e officials, however, were too terrified to send saccor to the other two ladies. They, also, owed their safety to the man with the sword, who procured chairs for them and got them to the yamen. He up- pears to have remained incognito. An- other missionary, escaping from his burn- ing home, entered the house of a Chinese doctor, who swathed him in bandages, cov- ered his head with a Chinese hood, and in the guise of a moribund Chinaman placed him on the shoulders of coolies and sent him to the yamen. Yet another mission- ary reached the out-station, where his wife awaited him, by disguising himself as an official en route to meet the incoming Viceroy, the real officials making him up with blue glasses, long boots, uniform cap, and so forth, But against the comfort inspired by these evidences of native good- will has to be placed the fact that although a month and a half has elapsed since the riots took place, many mis- sionaries at out-stations in Szechuan still remain without protection, exnosed to mob violence at any moment. The whole prob- lem of foreigners’ residence in the interior of China becomes more and more perplex- ing as years go by. As for the Viceroy of Szechuan, Liu Pingchang, who is charged with direct responsibility for the riots, he doubtless supposed that, being on the eve of surrendering his viceroyalty, all incon- venient consequences might be avoided so far as concerned himself. But he reck- The Foundation Of Good Health is Pure, Rich Blood And the surest, best way to purify your blood is to take Hood’s Sarsaparilla Hood’s Pills are tasteless, mild, effec- tive.

DENOUNCED THE BICYCLE. “There Are Many Dangers From Riding @ Wheel,” Said Dr. Marks. ST. LOUIS, Mo., Aug. 24.—Dr. Heine Marks, ex-Superintendent of the City Hospital and at present conducting a private hospital, and whose achievements in medicine and surgery have given him a world-wide reputation, has denounced the bicycle as follows: “To mymind, owing to the excess of exercise indulged in by bicycle-riders' of to-day, when a man or woman buys ‘a wheel he takes the first spadeful of earth from his grave. To give some idea of the unwholesomeness of bicycle-riding listen to this: First, you have a kind of paralysis of the hands from the constant gripping of the handle-bar, then contraction of the muscles of the legs, 'contraction of osterior muscles of the lower limbs and of the inside muscles of the thighs; round shoulders irom stooping over and contraction of the chest. This causes con- gestion of the lungs and leads to cousumg- tion; continued violent exercise also leads to enlargement of the heart. Furthermore, with men,:rupture, varicocele, hydrocele follow, and worst of all it destroys virility. No man who rides a bicycle to any extent can hope to be a father. A “Then again with women constant rid- ing causes troubles to which women are liarly heir. Married women riding cles are especially liable to very serious al mishaps. In fact the dangersare ultitudinous. People have neglected them too long, and if the whole world is not de- populated by the rapidly increasing mem- bershlp of this suicide club the human race will die out by reason of lack of man- hood and inability to propagate.” FOUGHT FOR AN HOUR Lively Battle That Grew Out | of an Old Feud in Kentucky. Among Those Killed Was One Man Who Tried to Act as a Peacemaker. LEXINGTON, Kv., Aug. 24.—News has just reached here of a terrible shooting | affair growing out of an old grudge be- tween the Coxesand Thomases, residing n the vicinity of Looneys Creek in the Cumberland Mountains. The battle lasted for an hour, in which three men—William Cox, John Boyd and Jack Thomas—lost | their lives, and Samuel Cox was mortally wounded, being shot twice through the body. John Boyd runsan illicit still, and the Coxes and Thomases met there by chance, the members of both factions being intoxi- cated, so it is said. The Cox boys fireq the first shot, which struck Jack Thomas, in- flicting a slight wound in the arm. Then the battle began in earnest. Besides John Boyd, there were {wo Cox boys and three of the Thomas boys. They were armed with pistols and shot from behind trees and stumps with fatal effect. John Boyd tried to act as peace- maker, but was killed by a bullet from one of the warring factions. Jack Thomas and William Cox were kilied instantly. The officers to-day arrested Burton Thomas and Hiram Boyd and took them to Wise, Va., where they were put in jail. | Burton Thomas is thought to have béen | the man who fired the shot that killed William Cox and Boyd is accused of par- ticipating in the battle. DESECRATION OF GRAVES, Jewelry Taken From Addi- tional Bodies at the Peede Cemetery. The Men Engaged In the Grewsome Work Started to Search for Treasure. PARIS, Tex., Aug. 24.—Despite the high indignation over the recent grave robberies in the Peede cemetery, near Golden Bluff, more graves have been desecrated during the last two nights, When the first graves were robbed, it was a noticeable fact that only such graves were entered aswould yield booty in the shape of jewelry, which had been buried with the deceased persons. Not a grave was touched whose occupant was not buried with jewelry upon it. How. these graves weresingled out wasa mystery at first, but the official investigation has disclosed the fact that these particular graves were singled out with a mineral rod in the hands of expert prospectors. It was not their intention originally to rob graves, but they accidentally fellowed that grewsome calling. They were in search of buried treasure which was left in the shape of a potof gold coin by Rus Tar lor. He was miserly, and being suddenly taken sick he would not divulge the hiding place, hoping finally to recover, but told the amount he had buried. He died, and it was this $3000 that the grave-robbers were originally seeking. ey Hardie Has Arrived, NEW YORK, N. Y., Aug. 24.—James Keir Hardie, president of the Independent Labor party of Great Britain, has reached New York. A reporter talked with Mr. Hardie last nightat the Broadway Central Hotel. Asked as to his purpose in coming to America Mr. Hardie said : “I came primarily on the invitation of the Labor day committee of Chicago, but I also want to learn the condition here. 1 will speak before the laboring men of Chicago and I will travel over the country delivering speeches on labor topics. ciaiigae S Jealousy Caused a Shooting. MANNINGTON, W. Vi, Aug. 24— Marian Gerard, a prominent citizen of this city, was shot and almost instantly killed early this morning by James A. Riddle, He was insanely J‘ealmm of his wife, and claimed that undue intimacy existed be- tween her and Gerard. Riddle confessed the shooting, claiming justification in that he had caught Gerard trying to get into his house by means of a v%ndow shortly afver midnight. Riddle is under arrest. S e Due to Poor Management. CHILLICOTHE, Mo., Aug. 24—The Bank of Dawn this morning made an as- signment for the benefit of its creditors, with M. Timbrock and C. D, Hurxthal as assignees, The bank had a capital stock of $15,000, and the assets given in the deed of assignment are $40,000, with liabilities of $46,000. The bank’s affairs are sald to have been poorly managed. e e L S Murder of a Section Foreman. CLARKSVILLE, Tex~., Aug. 24.—This morning Section Foreman Adams had his throat cut from ear to ear. He was twice stabbed in the breast by Jim Cline (col- ored) at Clardy, on the Louisville and Nashville Railroad. Bloodhounds are trailing the murderer, who fled. Lynch- ing will follow if Cline is captured. WON THE FUTURITY. Requital Defeated Big Field of Fast Youngsters. a PILOTED BY GRIFFIN. Twenty Thousand Persons Witnessed the Race of the Year. FAVORITES BADLY BEATEN. One Was Injured by a Kick and the Others Outrun From Start to Finish. SHEEPSHEAD BAY RACE TRACK, N. Y., Aug. 24.—The eighth futurity will prove a memorable one for more reasons than one. The most potent, probably, was that all records were broken in the matter of attendance. At the lowest esti- mate 20,000 persons saw Requital win with comparative ease from the Western colt Crescendo. The victory was not a pleas- ant one to the average spectator. Hand- spring was their choice. It wasa case of Handspring or Hastings to the majority, and these great colts finished in the ruck. There was some excuse for Handspring’s defeat. His stable companion, Axion, kicked him viciously while on the way to the post, cutting his right hind hock nearly to the bone. The injury was suffi- cient to cost him the race. David Gideon, the owner of Requital, and J. Hyland, the trainer of the colt, were confident that they would win the great stake. They were not boisterously so, but talked in a way that eonvinced all their friends that Requital was at his best. They did not fear either Handspring or Hastings. J. Hyland has trained three of the eight Futurity win- ners. His Highness, who captured the prize in 1891, and The Butterflies, who won last year, were turned out by him. They, like Requital, carried the dark blue of David Gideon. It was a great day for the dark blue and a great day for Jockey Griffin. He had five mounts and gained as many victories. Among them was his second consecutive Futurity. It was also a great day for the followers of Saratoga horses. There are many plungers who back horses that have summered at Saratoga. Five or six races were won by horses that had enjoyed the pine air and spring water of Saratoga. Griffin was none the worse for his trip to the inland watering place either. The speculation on the race was of an open character. Handspring ruled favorite throughout. He opened at 2 to 1 and closed at9to5. Hastings, his erstwhile conqueror, was second in demand. The fact that Hastings had an unbeaten record and had trailed Handspring’s colors in the dust caused many to back him. Then again Gideon made no secret of the fact that he was the best colt in his stable. August Belmont gave $37,000 for this colt, the highest price ever paid fora horse in training at an auction sale. Since the colt changea hands he went amiss. His race to-day indicated that he was short of work. The owners did not bet on their candi- dates. They were content to let them run for the stake. The field was too large to tempt the average plunger. Riley Gran- nan made several big wagers on Hand- spring. Byron McClelland and the Sara- toga contingent bet on Requital. The shrewdest trainers who saw the finest work of the candidates put their money on Requital. At 4:45 o'clock the twenty candiaates filed outof the paddock, and at a pace little better than a walk paraded past the stand to the starting point. There was consider- able applause as the favorites went by. They reached the post at 4:50. Then Starter Rowe’s fun began. They were skirmishing around, breaking and refusing to break, until 5:28. Then the mighty cavalcade thundered toward Rowe in a perfect line. The flag went down and the great struggle was on. The white and blue spots of Peep "o Day flashed in front until the dip was reached. His bolt was shot as soon as they began the descent of the low land. When they emerged from the dip Crescendo, who carried the honors of the Western contingent, was in command. He was lapped to the withers by Hastings, Re- quital and Handspring. They swung out of the Futurity chute into the main stretch in this order. . As soon asthey were headed for home Griffin shot Requital in the lead. He sent_him through on the rail with a perfect irresistible burst of speed. It was apparent to every one when the last fur- long pole was reached that only an acci- dent could rob Requital of victory. Gritfin did not urge him to any great ex- tent. The colt merely required a slight shaking up to let him" know what was re- quired of him. Griffin rode him slightly in the run home. There was really no necessity to urgegthe colt, but Griffin verg sensibly took no chances. A sixteent from the all-important line it was merel. a question of how much Requital woul% win by. . He passed the post in the wildest kind of enthusiasm a winner by an open length. He finished well within himself. Crescendo, ur?ed to the utmost limit of endurance in a futile endeavor to hold his own with Requital, secured the place from Silver 1I, who was superbly ridden by Ballard, by three lengths. Handspring, all out, finished at Silver II's withers. Hastings, blowing like a grampus, was fifth. None of the' others were for a mo- ment dangerous or prominent after the first furlong liad been traversed. The stake was worth $69,249, of which Reguital got $53,750, and his breeder $4000.

Final Events of the Northwestern Breed- ers’ Meeting. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Aug. 24.—To-day was get-away day, and everybody had a scheme for a killing, but the books and the public broke about even on the day. Louie Young was well played in the first at 4 to 1; Little Chief was the favorite in the second; Joe Woolman was an even money favorite in the third; Collector in the fourth was a well-liked second choice, and Barney Aaron Jr. was well played in the last, although Leonell was an odds-on favorite. 8ix turlongs, Louie Young won, Vick second, CIL“‘” third. ime, 1:24. our and a halt furlongs, Little Chief won, | call ;{%l;k Overton second, Lucy Day third.

Yes- terday’s deluge made the track like lead and prevented the special events which were to have been pulled off. Joe Patchen and Beuzetta did not go thelir exhibition mile, ana the Sulphide-Annalis race was declared off. Carbonate, enterea to go against Directly’s three-year-old record, also remained ‘in the stable. Darkness prevented a fifth heat in the last race. The association is convinced that a trotting meeting without pools is not a financtal success. Secretary Allen admits that the loss is over $5000.

His Statement Not Conslidered England’s Final Ac- tion. CHANCES OF A CONFERENCE. An Insurance Company, After Un- Just Treatment, Appealed to Mr. Runyon. [Cable Letter to The United Press.] BERLIN, GERMANY, Aug. 24.—The lead- ers ot the German Bimetallic League, al- though to a degree discouraged by the declaration of Mr. Balfour in the British House of Cemmons that he had no right to pledge nis colleagues in the Ministry to a policy favorable to the convening of another international monetary confer- ence, refuse to regard the British leader’s statement as final in determining the action of Great Britain in the matter. Communications which have been re- ceived from the British Bimetallic League represent Mr. Balfour as willing to assist in bringing about a conference, but he is also represented as being desirous before placing the question before the Cabinet of being enabled to present to Lis colleagues feasible bases of discussion. If the Ger- man, French and English bimetallists can formulate proposals of the character men- tioned, proposals such as would induce Chancellor Hohenlohe to carry out his promise to take the initiative in the calling of a conference, the English Government, it is represented in these communications, will not refuse to join in its deliberations. The attitude taken by Mr. Balfour is sim- ply the position assumed by his prede- ceasor in the leadership of the House of Commons, Sir William Harcourt, with the addition that Mr. Balfour sympathizes with instead of opposing bimetallism. The single standard organs, on the other hand, assume that the chances of the assembling of a monetary conference have been definitely squelched. The National Zeitung declares that the bimetallic scap bubble has burst, and predicts that the Federal Governments wiil decline to con- sider the subject further, nor will the Bundesrath waste time in deliberations over the matter. The fact is, however, that immediately after the termination of the vacation the Bundesrath, which pos- sibly is already in possession of official documents on the subject from all of the Federal States, will proceed in an attempt to draft resolutions in regard to the con- ference. Prince Hohenlohe's latest re- sponse to requests for a conference from the leaders of bimetallic movement give no indication of an intention on the part of the Chancellor to depart from his pledge to endeayor to obtain some common ground which will justify him in inviting the co-operation of all Governments inter- ested in the adoption of a common mone- tary system. The business of the coming session of the Reichstag, as far as can be gleaned from information available in the various minis- terial departments, will not include any measure of great national or party im- portance. Contrary to expectation, there is no anti-socialist legislation impending, and it is understood in official circles that the Emperor desires a quiet legislative period devoted to minor reforms. In the forty-second general assembly of German Catholics, which will be convenea at Munich to-morrow for a session of five days’ duration, a number of vitally im- portant papers will be read, among which will be one by Solicitor Porsch on “The Results of the Work of Oatholic Orders.” This paper will be devoted to showing how moral, religious and material progress has been supported.
