NATION IN NEW YORK KANSAS RKFOnMER HAS A LIVELY TALK WITH "FATHER" MURPHY. She SnftfteMs "flatchetnilon' n a Pnrlfler, and the Police Iloss Warns Her He Will Lock Her Ip. NEW YORK, Aug. 28.-Mrs. Carrie Na tion arrived in this city to-day. She had an interview with Police Commissioner Murphy, during which he toldher that she would be arrested if she violated the law in this city. Mrs. Nation also called at John L. Sullivan's saloon to see the ex pugillst in reference to a statement he was alleged to have made to the effect that he would "throw her In the sewer." Sul livan sent down word that he was 111, but made an appointment to meet her next Monday. She then went to see Archbishop Corrigan, but he was out of town. When Mrs. Nation entered police head quarters she was shown at once to Com missioner Murphy's room. In opening her interview with the commissioner she said she had called on him for an account of his stewardship, and asked If he did not think New York was an awfully wicked place. The commissioner replied in the negative and Mrs. Nation repeated the question as an assertion, whereupon Com missioner Murphy requested her to stop, saying he would not discuss the matter with her. She continued, however, to ply the commissioner with questions concern ing drinking places, all of which he re fused to answer. Mrs. Nation said she had come here to do the city some good. "You don't know what you are talking about," said Commissioner Murphy. "Go back to Kansas and stay there. If you want to do something, why don't you do it for your husband?" "I have no husband, now," said Mrs. Na tion. "I suppose you know all about that matter." "Oh. yes," said Commissioner Murphy. "I congratulate Mr. Nation; he ought to be a happy man now." "Why don't you want to discuss Sunday saloons?" asked Mrs. Nation, and the com missioner replied, angrily: "Because I don't want to. I won't sit here and be lectured." "What! Do you mean to say that you won't discuss good morals in New York? Don't you want to talk about the closing up of these hell-holes and murder-shops? Do you think I am crazy?" "es. 1 do," replied Commissioner Murphy. Mrs. Nation then addressed Commissioner Murphy as "Father." which term the com missioner warmly resented. But the Kansas reformer persisted. "Father, don't you think a little 'hatch etation would be good for New York?" "If you violate the laws, I'll have you locked up." Mr. Murphy warned her. Commissioner Murphy flnallv terminated the interview by beckoning to his secretary, who escorted Mrs. Nation from the room. Before leaving town Mrs. Nation said she would return Sunday and visit the "Ten derloin," and "see everything that was open." FORECASTS OF THE WEATHER.

ENVOYS ANXIOUS TO LEAVE WKAHIED OF THEIR LAHORS AMJ AOW IN A IIl'RRY TO FINISH. Kitchener to Execute Rnern Guilty of Murdering: Soldiers The Fraueo Turkinh Incident. PEKING. Aug. 23. An imperial edict for bidding the importation of arms and munitions of war was not satisfactory to the foreign ministers, and a meeting of the envoys was called to discuss the matter. It ignored the vital fact that the prohibition applies to the government, and that it is part of the Chinese punishment. The edict makes it appear to be merely the govern ment's voluntary act, prohibiting Chinese subjects from importing arms and muni tions, as the country Is disturbed by brig ands. The ministers, however, decided to accept the edict, but to omit the first para graph in publishing it as part of the ap pendix to the protocol. It Is understood the British minister. Sir Ernest Satow, pro posed to return the edict to the Chinese peace commissioners as unsatisfactory, but the proposal failed. Several of the diplo mats, including Mr. Rockhill, opposed this feature of the protocol. Among their rea sons was that it was Impossible of enforce ment, and It was illogical, while insisting that the Chinese maintain order to deprive it of the means of so doing. Whereas, a month ago, the Chinese min isters were importuning the ministers to conclude the negotiations, it Is now the ministers who are dally visiting LI Hung Chang on a similar errand. Several of the ministers expect to be transferred to more pleasant posts at the conclusion of their labors, and all are wearied with the con finement in Teklng during the tropical months. The Chinese may take advantage of the ministers' manifest anxiety to wind up business in the forthcoming decrees. If the other governments had kept their troops at Peking until the protocol was signed, as Great Britain is doing. It is re garded as probable the Chinese would dis play greater willingness to carry out the spirit of the protocol. An edict has been received announcing that It Is the intention of the court to re turn unostentatiously to Poking. Their Majesties will give 100,000 taels as a fare well contribution to the distressed people of Si-Ngan-Fu and the surrounding district. The edict forbids any preparations being made for the reception of the court be yond repairing the roads. It abates and refunds a year's taxes along the route that will be followed through the provinces of Chan-Si. Ho-Nan and Chi-Li. All the ex penses of the journey will be paid by the imperial exchequer. This is unusual, but accords with a suggestion recently made by Sir Robert Hart, director of the imperial maritime customs. The Knitter Ilumhllnic Prince Chnn. BERLIN, Aug. 28. The immediate at tendants of Prince Chun are decidedly In dignant at their summary handling by the German officials. Herr Von Rauch, who Is attached to .the mission in behalf of the German government, is calmly completing the traveling arrangements, in spite of the Chinese assertions that they may not pro ceed to Berlin. Some of the minor Chinese officials objected to lodging on the fourth floor of the hotel, but Von Rauch promptly intervened and compelled them to accept the quarters, to which they had been as signed. Seeing that th-; lowest in rank of the members of the retinue are prominent nobles, such coercion is not relished. Prince Chun has dropped his pretense of indisposition and is keeping up constant telegraphic communication with Peking. One cable message cost him three hundred dollars The members of the Chinese mis sion are not permitted to leave the hotel. This, it is alleged, is due to the personal orders of Emperor William. How Prince Chnn Will Apologise. LONDON, Aug. 2S A dispatch from Pe king says: "A telegram has been received from Trince Chun, stating that Germany has determined that he, when he is received by Emperor William, shall bow three times, and the secretary of the mission and other subordinates shall bow themselves and knock their heads nine times on the floor before the Emperor. The Emperor here appealed to the German minister to secure a change in this plan, but he replied that the arrangement had been made by his government and he could not act."

Will Xot Be Seen in Constantinople Attain I ntll Turkey SettleN. CONSTANTINOPLE, Aug. 2S.-The French Hag was hauled down from over the embassy of France after the departure of the ambassador, M. Constans, and it will not be hoisted again until diplomatic relations are restored. The staff of the embassy remains here, but there Is no charge d'affaires. The French consuls In Turkey have been directed to continue to protect French interests. Besides the im mediate causes of the disagreement it is pointed out that constant difficulties were placed in the way of French commercial interests in Turkey, which contributed to M. Constans's resolution. All of the embassies complain of vexa tious interference with trade. lr. Cmifttimn Interviewed. LONDON. Aug. 29. The Dally Mail pub lishes a dispatch from its Vienna corre spondent, who boarded the Orient express and interview M. Constans as to the Franco-Turkish diplomatic situation. "The French ambassador declared." says the correspondent, "that even at the last hour the Sultan tried to prevaricate. He asserted that the whole matter was now in the hands of the French government. " 'Any other than an inexorable attitude,' continued M. Constans, 'would be most in jurious for future negotiations with the Porte. If Turkey could obtain the slightest success in this case she would easily yield to the temptation to try the same game with other powers, who mlnht not display the same patience as Franco has dis played.' " M. Cmifttniin Wn Piqued. LONDON. Aug. 2!i. "Before M. Constans left Constantinople." says a dispatch to the Standard from the Turkish capital, "he received a letter from th Sultan him self, begging him to consider his Majes ty's feelings and not to act in a manner hi? Majesty thought uncalled for. M. t'onstans declined to alter h!s decision. The British ambassador was invited to the French embassy Sunday nisht and he remained there until 1 o'clock Monday morning, presumably tryinx to arrange an amicable setment. It is rumored here that fie teal reason for the action of M. Constans wa h's pique at the Sultan's refusal to hvy the quays." The Sultan May Go to War. VIENNA. Aiic. 2s. The Tageblatt to-day publishes mall correspondence from Con- stantlnople which says the Sultan will go to war rather than yield to unreasonable Srrorn Evidence Secured by Kitchen- er, Who Propowes Punishment. LONDON, Aug. 2S. A dispatch from Lord Kitchener, dated Pretoria, Aug. 27, says: "Sworn evidence has been brought to my notice by General Elliott that on June 6 Lieutenant Maier, of the New South Wales Artillery, and Privates Harvey and Blunt were shot down after surrendering at Gras pan, near Reitz. I have forwarded to Steyn and Botha copies of these state ments. "In view of the occurrences referred to In your telegram of Aug. 27 we are of opin ion that you should notify by proclama tion that the members of any commando by which such an outrage is committed who may be captured and after trial proved to have been present on such occa sion will be held guilty whether they actually committed the deed or not: that the leader of the commando will be sen tenced to death, and that the other mem bers will be punished with death or less, according to the degree of complicity." The War Office has telegraphed to Lord Kitchener as follows: "We understand that you have not yet received satisfactory assurances respecting the murder of our wounded at Vlakfonteln." Mr. Brodrick's instructions to Lord Kitchener to make reprisals for the shoot ing of British wounded are generally ap proved. The Daily Chronicle, however, thinks them too sweeping in holding all the members of a commando responsible. The Standard, while it considers the gov ernment Justified, foresees that a great out cry will be raised, accusing the government of a desire to wage a war of extermination. It says: "Of course, rigorous punishment of this kind may lead to violent retaliation. Iord Kitchener must be the judge of what is prudent. In any case, the blame for giv ing the struggle a harsher character must rest with the Boers." The Daily News, which denounces the measure, accuses the government of being in a hurry to discover that a policy of re prisals ought to be resorted to. The Times, in the course of an editorial expressing doubt that Mr. Brodrick's dis patch will serve any useful purpose, says: "It Is imperative that such criminals should be punished as soon as caught, and prob ably any general who caught them would, on continuation, shoot them; but it seems hardly. worth while to proclaim what the enemy must know well enough already, namely, that If he allows the war to de generate into murder he must expect the penalty of murder."

HOMBURG, Aug. 2S.-The will of the late Dowager Empress Frederick was opened without special ceremony to-day. Her for tune totals 11,000,00') marks. Her six chil dren receive a million each. The youngest, Princess Margaret of Hesse, wife of Prince Frederick Charles of Hesse, also gets Fred erlckshof Castle, on which the Dowager Empress spent the whole of the 3.000,000 marks' bequest which she received from the late Countess Galllera. The Dowager Empress destroyed only her private papers. The remainder were de posited in the Frcderlckshof library. The fortune of the Dowager Empress included nothing from the late Queen Victoria, the Dowager Empress having renounced all claims on her mother's estate. BERLIN. Aug. 2S. Tho Lokal Anzeiger' Homburg correspondent says the estate is larger than had been expected, and shows that the dowager Empress enlarged the same through skillful management and reinvesting her Income. The Tageblatt to-day prints an authori tative denial of the report that the dow ager Empress was married to Baron Von Zeckendorff, grand chamberlain of her Majesty's court. The Emperor has or dered that the usual autumn parade of the Gardes du Corps, Sept. 2, be omitted. Cltl'SAllH AGAINST CORSETS. German Women of Fashion Excited hy Prof. Wltthmuer'at Statements. BERLIN, Aug. 2S. German women of fashion are greatly excited over the cru sade against the wearing of corsets, which has been started by Professor Witthauer, the chief physician of the medical staff of the Sisters of Mercy Hospital In this city. Dr. Witthauer proposes to substitute for corsets a lattice work of elastic girths. In speaking of the movement he said: "By the use of body girths they can secure every advantage now secured from whale bone corsets and still have the human form divine. No kind of body girth, however, is healthful, unless it is specially measured and fitted to the wearer." Entombed .Men Still Alive. LONDON, Aug. 29. The rescue operations at the Donlbristle mine in Perthshire con tinue without cessation, in the face of enor mous difficulties. The voices of some of the entombed men were heard yesterday, and at 2 o'clock this morning (Thursday) three more men were rescued. The survivors tell of terrible experiences and narrow escapes. One saved himself by clinging to a bar In the roof of the working. He tried to ex tricate another, who was up to his neck In water, but failed. The poor fellow was choked by the rubbish washed down into the channel. It is not likely that any others will be saved. The Cxar Wantn Automobiles. PARIS, Aug. 20.

There Will lie No Interference In Co. lomhlan Affairs Unless Railway Traffic Be Interrupted. VENEZUELA INVADED AGAIN REVOLUTIONARY FORCE OF 2.000 HAS ENTERED FR03I COLOMBIA. Attempt to lie Made to Overthrow President Castro Liberals Against Conservatives. WASHINGTON, Aug. 28. No official ad vices have been received respecting the situation in the insurrectionary parts of Colombia and Venezuela since the brief re port of the arrival at Colon of the gunboat Machlas. The officials are not disturbed by this absence of reports. They know that the American consuls are thoroughly alive to the necessity of keeping the gov ernment informed of Important develop ments, and they reason that either nothing has happened to change the status at the isthmus or in Venezuela or that, owing to the cutting off of telegraphic communi cation between the coast and the Interior, it is not possible for our consuls or for Commander Sargent, of the Machias, to acquaint themselves with what is going on in the Interior. It may be stated, in view of the report that our government Intends to Intervene In the interests of one party or the other, that the government here will adhere strictly to Its well-established rule of non intervention. Nothing but an Interruption of isthmian traffic, which the United States is pledged to keep open, or a threat against American Interests, could Induce the government to Interfere. Fortunately the asphalt controversy Is not now an active factor, which would promise to sharpen the issue between the United States government and Venezuela, and thus complicate the difficulties arising out of the insurrectionary disturbances. The Venezuelan court has sustained its own president in his assertion of the right to issue a decree which formed the basis of an objection by the National Asphalt Com pany. This decision was rendered Aug. 15, and the case cannot come up again, owing to a recess of the court, before the middle of September. Then the conflicting issues between tho two asphalt companies are to be argued upon their merits before the full court, and it is expected here that this proceeding will occupy several months. The asphalt issue Is not likely, therefore, to be involved in the present disturbance. INVASION OF VENEZUELA. Rebels Seeking Cantro's Downfall Conservatives Versus Liberals. NEW YORK, Aug. 28. A revolutionary force of 2,000 men has pushed its way over the border from Colombia into Venezuela, says the Colon correspondent of the Her ald. This force, the correspondent hears, is to aid in the overthrow of President Castro. When, it is said, his downfall Is accom plished a similar plan will be followed In Nicaragua. Trouble is imminent on both the eastern and the southern boundaries of Colombia, Troops have been rushed in both directions, and the frontiers of Vene zuela and of Ecuador are lined with armed men, ready to advance at .a moment s no tice. No secret Is made of the threatening attl tude of the Colombian authorities. They assert that the revolution here has been enabled to continue only by the aid of the liberal governments of the neighboring re publics, and that to insure peace at home it has become necessary to Inaugurate a war of foreign conquest. It is assumed here that Ecuador would join with Vene zuela In any movement against Colombia: the two liberal governments standing united against the conservative element in control here and making counter-charges of interference with their affairs and of fostering revolution. There seems little doubt that the charges on both sides are well founded. The liberals of one republic have lent a helping hand to their struggling brethren in adjacent territory, and the con servatives have retaliated in kind. Colom bia has been the chief sufferer, however, as her revolution has already lasted nearly two years. It is estimated that from 25,000 to 40,000 lives have already been sacrificed. and the end is not yet, as the smoldering embers of revolution are coming into flame In a dozen places simultaneously, and the liberals do not hesitate to announce that they are preparing to deal a final blow. The conservatives retaliate by declaring that they have vanquished every army that has been collected, and there only remain a few bushwhackers who carry on a spas modic guerrilla warfare, attacking corpo rals' guards, neeing rrom larger bodies. robbing exposed stores and ranches and pil laging wayfarers. Arms belonging to General Rlera. a Vene zuelan refugee in Curacao, have been found in Coro by the Venezuelan authorities, says the Port of Spain correspondent of the Herald. This seizure, the correspondent adds, frustrates the hopes of an insurrec tion in that district. SHIPPED FIIOM NEW YORK. Arms nnd Explosiven Forwarded to La tin-A mer lean Refiu lilies. NEW YORK, Aug. 2S.-Special agents of the United States government are con stantly watching for the shipment of arms fiom this port designed to fall into the hands of the warring factions In Colombia and the information concerning the ship ments of arms and other war materials from here to Central American ports is sent to Washington in the form of weekly reports. As the law requires that explo sives be so marked, the manifests of out going steamers and sailing vessels destined to the troubled districts are closely scruti nized and the shipments specially noted at the customs house. Arms, such as. can nons, ritles, bayonets and' swords are con sidered amply covered in the manifests, it Is said, if simply scheduled as "manufactured lion, "agricultural implements," "miscel laneols" and "domestic h." It is said that a report sent to-day to one of the bureau chiefs in Washington contained the in formation thttt during the week ending Aug. 27 these amount of arms and explo sives were shipped from New York to Mexican, Central and South American ports: Mexico Seven cases of firearms, eleven cases of cartridges and 2S,3TiO pounds of gunpowder.

SANITARY WORK IN CUBA WHAT HAS DE EX ACCOMPLISHED IIV THE ISITED STATES. Xotnhie Decrease in the Death Hnte Inland Almost Rid of the Dread Yellow Fever. WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S. The War De partment, through the division of insular affairs, has published a statement indicat ing briefly what has been done by the mili tary authorities In Cuba toward ridding the island of yellow fever. Pointing out that In 1899 the death rate from the yellow fever epidemic was 20 per cent, of all who had the disease, the report shows that now, after two years of American rule, San tiago is as clean as any American city, and there has been no yellow fever since Dec. 27, 1S99. Its banishment from Santiago, its habitat for four hundred years, was accom plished by American cleanliness and en ergy, intelligently directed by the military authorities, and its absence has been no freak or accident. The general sanitary condition of Havana Is said to be excellent, the death rate for June last comparing favorably with many large cities, as, for instance, Mexico, with 65.62 per cent.; Vera Cruz, ,17.39, and Rouen, France, in April last, 2S.42. The Havana death rate was 23.2S. There was not a sin gle case of yellow fever during June, al though no previous June had iassed with exemption from the disease. The repres sion of the disease is ascribed to the attack upon the mosquito, following the theory as to their being the means of transmission of the fever, originally laid down by Dr. Charles Finlay, of Havana, and since com pletely established by the yellow fever commission and the four months' experi ence of the military authorities. In con clusion the report says: "There have l n years in which there was very little yellow fever, but none in which it has entirely disappeared, as at present. It would there fore seem to be a fair inference that the improved method of disinfection killed off the infected mosquitoes; that by March S the city had been rid of the infection and was free of fever until April 2. when a focus fkt Infection aKaln developed. Disin fection again apparently killed tho infected mosquitoes, as the city was free from fever until May 6. when another foeus developed. The same method of disinfection was again applied, with the result that no cases de veloped after that date. It Is lelleved that, bv pursuing the present methods, the island can be rid of yellow fever and Its spread be prevented, even when introduced from outside. If this condition can be brought about many of the restrictions now im posed upon commerce by quarantines can be done away with." IRRIGATION AND FORESTRY.
