THE
,T
CHIMMEN JUBILANT
Over the Defeat of American
and British Consuls
TO OBTAIN AN OPEN INQUIRY
Into Massacres Delay Gives Chinese Time
to I'ropare For Defense Members oi
Commission Appointed to Investigate
Recent Outrages Are Virtually Prison
org John Hull Seems Indifferent.
London, Aug. 24. A special dis
patch, from Shanghai says that the
members of the commission which re
cently wont to Poo-Chow for Chong-Tu
in order to investigate the recent massa
cre of missionaries there are virtually
prisoners, and that Commander Newell
cf the United States cruiser Detroit has
gone to Cheug-Tu to consult with Mr.
J. C. Hixson, the United States consul
at Foo-Chow, who is the leading mem
ber of the commission, about the land
ing of marines for his protection and
for the protection of other members of
the commission.
The Chinese officials are jubilant at
the defeats of tho American and British
consuls to obtain an open inquiry into
the massacres. It is also said that tho
delay is giving tho Chinese time to pre
paro a defense for tho prisoners.
NAVAL OFFICERS
Give but Little Credit to Information in
the Dispatch.
Washington, Aug. 24. It is said
here that "Ku-Oheug" is meant where
ever Cheug-Tu is used in the London
dispatch as Chcusr-Tu is the scene of
the June riots, mid is 1,400 miles from
Foo-Chow. Naval officers, though
without information themselves, are
inclined to discredit the information in
the dispatch.
Acting Secretary McAdoo said it was
observed that dispatches of this charac
ter came by way of Loudon, while an
other high naval officer said that there
was an evident intention on the part of
Great Britain in the whole Ku-Cheng
affair to get tho United Sratcs govern
ment to pull chestnuts out of the lire,
and pointed to tho fact that there did
not fceom to be any anxiety on the part
of Great Britain to laud troops, or to bo
in undue has to to force an explanation-.
The navy department thought that if
Commander Newell had gone on any
such mission, the department would
have been notified. It was also said
that marines are scarcely ever lauded at
the request of a consul, especially when
there is a minister in the country.
Howevor, should there bo trouble of the
kind indicated, the United States has a
6trong force in Asiatic waters. We have
teveii ships there, some of them good
cruisers, our fleet including the Balti
more (flagship), tho Charleston, De
troit, Yorktown, Machias,Monocacy and
Concord. The last named four are not
very formidable, though good fighting
ships.
The new cruiser Qlympia will leavo
for the Asiatic station in a very short
time, as she is now being coaled at San
Francisco.
CHINESE OFFICIALS
Receive No News in Kecurd to Statements
Made.
Washington, Aug. 24. The pre
sumption among the officials at tho Chi
nese legation is that tho protection to
the commission referred to is from mob
violence. Tho ofllcials, however, ox
piess tho opinion that ample protection
will be uiforded by tho local authori
ties without tho intervention of as
sistance from other Koveruineuts. Be-
sioes, it is not believed at the legation
that tho central government at Peking
would permit the lauding of marines
at the place whore the investigation is
to be conducted.
There is.wiowover, no news at the
legation in regard to the statements in
the dispatch and, in fact, there has
been no information received verifying
the report of tho appointment of a com
mission of investigation.
RS WAS A FRAUD.

himself oa Dr. Barg of Cincinnati
swindled a number of citizens out of
various sums by selling them snido eye
glasses, and had it hoc been that ho
found a few patients of the real Dr.
Barg, would have carried, his scheino

SMALL .RIOT IN CHICAGO.
QfHrnrs llcaten Unmercifully When In Dis
charge of Their Duty.
Chicago, Aug. 24. A wagon load of'
police was required yesterday afternoon
to disperse a mob that hud assaulted
and surrounded Dotectivcs Ross and
McCarthy. The oflicors had been sout
to a clothing house whoro a sti-iko was
in progress to conduct two mombors of
a rival labor organization to a place of
safety.
A large crowd was in front of tho es
tablishment, and as tho oflicors at
tempted to leave with their charges,
they wore set upon and pounded un
mercifully. Tho officers drew their re
volvers, but tho weapons seemed to
have no other effect on the mob than to
incrcaso its wrath. A man named
Fitzpatrick grappled with Detective
McCarthy, and as Ross attempted
to go the assistance of his partnor ho
was struck over tho eyo with a stone in
the bauds .of August Johnson. Ross
fell to tho ground, and the mob closed
in about him. Ho was kicked numer
ous times and would probably have
been killed had not the sound of an
approaching patrol w:gon which re
sponded to a riot call frightened tho
mob away.
Fitzpatrick and Johnson are uudor
arrest.

THE STATE OF TRADE.
Phenomenal Activity Helm; LNptuytMl In
Some Ind ml lie,
New York, Aug. 24. R. G. Dun &
Company's weekly review of trade says:
Tho volumo of business shrinks, as is
natural in August, aud the shrinkago
seoms rather larger than usual because
transactions in July wcro somewhat in
flated for that month. Somo industries
aro doing more than ever boioro in Au
gust, and the prospects for fall trade is
good in others, although much depends
on tho crops, nnd tho oiv.JOi.'rj is less
clear than speculators on either side are
disposed to udmit. Industrial troubles
havo not entirely ceased, but during the
past week have become much less
threatening.
Tho prico of wheat has fallen 3 3-4
cents during the week, recovering u
fraction on Thursday, in spite of all
efforts to hold back supplies from farms
and to encourage buying. Wheat
ought to go abroad freoly at present
prices, but Atlantic exports, flour in
cluded, have been only 1,352,602
bushels for the week, against 2,01)1,764
last year, and for four week only 4,348,
632 bushels, against 10,937,447 last
year. Impressive stories of short cropi
abroad have littlo weight in tho pres
ence of such a record, aud tho absten
tion of foreign purchasers proves more
effective thau tho withholding of wheat
by western farmers, Naturally the 57
cent wheat of tho Pacific coast still
goes forward freely in placo of the At
lantic supplies.
Corn has also declined 4 ) -4 cents,
while pork and lard, with accustomed
inconsistency, rise a shade as corn de
clines. It is a relief to turn to mo great
industries, in which the enormous or
ders placed somo weeks or moutns a;jo
cause phenomenal activity for t.ie sea
son. In iron, notwithstanding some
uneasiness because tho output lias great
ly increased, heavy purchases by two
leading companies have advanced the
price of Bessemer 50 cents, aud a now
combination has raised galvanized
barbed wire to $1.80, whiio combina
tions aro bomg formed in wire roils and
common wire aud advance m prices ex
pected. Other prices aro nut-hanged,
and tho now orders for iron and steel
products aro not at presont largo.
In cotton goods tho demand is rather
more active as tho price of tho raw ma
terial advances, but otherwise tho busi
ness has not materially changed and
tho quotations for print cloths is a shade
lower this week.
Sales of wool aro again smaller thau
in 1802, and for the montn thus far
havo beou Ki.S 17,200 pounds, of which
9,121,300 pouuds wore domestic, against
19,072,9o0 last year, of which 10,316.330
were domestic aud 23,301,100 m tne
same weeks of 1892, of which 17,105,
000 were domestic. But the specula
tive buyers still hold prices very stiffly,
and aro supported by tho strength in
foreign markets. No marked change
appears, in demand for woolen goods,
but there is increasing apprehension
shown by agents regaraiug the extensive
sales of foreign woolens.
Failures lor the week have been 222
in the United States, against 234 last
year, and 43 in Canada, against 33 last
year.
BROOKS PARDONED.
A Memorable Indiana Murder Cuso Is Now
Recalled.
Indiana rous, Aug. 24. Arthur
Brooks, who was sent to tho peniten
tiary from Wayne county iu 1881 for

passed a resolution usking for his par
don. Mrs. Brooks has since remarried.

Chicago In Total Darkness.
Chicago, Aug. 24. Tho hoavist rain
storm thut has visited Chicago for somo
time began shortly before 5 o'clook yes
terday afternoon and at midnight it is
still raining with no prospeot of cessa
tion. The entire central portion of tho

FRENCH SLOW TO ACT
Eustis Now Carrying Out In
structions Sent
IN THE MATTER OP WALLER.
llelloveil That French Government Will
Slake Response to Requests ."Mado in a
Few Days- Hreuch Are Nettled at Course
I'ursued b.l Americans, but the Case
Must lie Considered Solely on Its Merits.
Washington, Aug. 24. Ofllcials of
the state department were gratified to
learn that Ambassador Eustis had made
a move in the matter of Waller aud had
carried out a portion of the instructions
which have been sent him. Tho de
partment has felt that its efforts in this
case have not been as ably seconded at
Paris as thoy might have been and
Ambassador Eustis explains in his dis
patch that tho delay has been due to
tho absence of the minister of foreign
affairs.
Tho department believes that within
a few days tho French government will
make some response to tho requests
made for the papers in the case of Mr.
Waller. It is recognized at tho depart
ment that the French government is
not only slow, but that tho French peo
ple are inclined to be nettled at the
course pursued by the Americans as
shown in the resentment felt because
the commander of the Castin had failed
to salute the French at Tama
tave. It is thought that much
may be made of this incident by the
French in ordor still further to delay
the settlement of the Waller caso, but
it is probable that the United States au
thorities will not allow the two things
to be coupled, but will insist that tho
Waller caso must bo considered solely
on its own merits. The United States
has not recognized tho French pro
tectorate over Madagascar nor has it re
fused recognition.
Consul Wetter, who is at Tamatave,
is only acting consul iu one sense, as
tho United States has never applied for
nor received an oxequateur from him.
Iu advising the commander of the Cas
tiuo not to recognize or salute the
French, the department presumes that
Mr. Wetter has taken the right course,
and knows what he is about, and will
act upon that assumption until some
thing to the contrary is learned. The
elfect this position of the consul and
the commander of tho Castiuo'may have
upon tho Waller claim is altogether
speculative
If French control is not recognized in
tho island, and in fact should be denied
by tho United States government, it
would deiiue clearly tho issue and make
the, claim of Waller indisputably from
an American view, but it is said that
such a position by the United States is
not necessary to the establishment of
the Waller claim, if Mr. Waller re
ceived his concession from a de facto
government.
HOTEL BLAZE.
Tho Air Line Hotel Near Toledo ISurned
to the Ground.
Toledo, Aug. 24. Last night the
Air Lino hotel at Air Line junction,
about four miles from this city, was
discovered in flames. The alarm was
turned iu after tho fire had gained con
siderable headway, and when the de
partment arrived tho entire building
was in flames.
Nearly all tho guests escaped with
their uight clothes and three were un
able to get out of tho building. One,
Tim McCarty, from Hillsdalo, Mich.,
was taken from tho building soon after
tho arrival of the department, but was;
badly burned and died before reaching
the ground. There aro two unknown men
in the building, but their bodies can not
be recovered. The buildiug was a large
frame structure and as dry as tinder.
Several small buildings in the vicinity
were also burned, and tho loss will
probably reach $20,000.
